FOR THE HARNESS.

The following formula is said to pro-
duce a backing that possesses all the
elements of vitality to the leather and
resistance to water. 1t is excellent
for harness, buggy tops, etc.
Old harness, If hard may be wash
ed in warm water, and when nearly
dry, grease it with neatsfoot oil
The ingredients of the black are:
Three ounces turpentine, two ounces
white wax to be dissolved together
over a slow fire. Add one ounce ivory
and one dram of indigo, to be we'll pull
verified and mixed together
When the wax and the turpentine
are dissolved, add the black and the
indigo and stir until cold. Apply to
the harness very thin, and brush well
afterward. The polish resulting will
be fine.
Another good black is made of l
dram of bone black, 60 drops of con-
centrated hydrochloric acid, II drains

HOMEMADE KNIVES.

One or more good butcher knives
can be made by almost any one that
is handy at small cost If you have
a piece of steel 1-8 inch thick or an
old broken handsaw lying around,
take rule, mark straight line two
inches from edge and ten inches long,
lay the saw on fiat piece of iron,
take a common cold chisel and cut
out this piece you marked with the
line. Then stick one end in the
fire, heat red hot, take small punch
or ten-penny nail and punch a hole
one inch from end to centre then the
second hole two inches from this one.
Get two pieces of one inch black wal
nut beard same width as knife, trim
smooth and bore two holes to cores
pond with those in knife. Put two
rivets through the holes, place on
grind stone and grind one edge down
and knife is complete. J. Barrett,

HOW TO BREED POTATOES.

Stock breeders apply natural laws
in reproducing superior stock. To
raise superior potatoes the same nat
ural laws must be applied. Begin now
and breed up your potato stock.
Select for seed not the largest or
the smallest, but those smooth, firm
and finely shaped. Cut them from
end to end, not across grain, as that
cuts the sinew Of the seed potato and
smaller potatoes always result when
seed potatoes are cut any way, as is
usually done
Then let them lie for few hours
in the sunshine until thin film forms
over the cut surface. Then they are
ready to plant. Plant them cut side
down, if possible. They will grow II
planted the other way, but it takes
the sprout longer to come up from
the under side of the cut seed potato.
Make other conditions right, and keep
this work up year after year and a
wonderful crop of superior potatoes
will be the reward A. Allen

LAMB FEEDING.

The recent lamb feeding tests at
the Ohio experiment station snow
that heterogeneous foods for such feed
iEg may be grown on the farm as
well as that of fat-forming foods. The
four lots were fed the same protein
roughage, consisting Of alfalfa and
clover. with some admixture OF blue
grass, one and oneIhalf pounds daily
per lamb, were fed to all of the lots
The grain rations for the various lots
were as follows:
Lot six parts corn.
Lot 2-Five parts corn, one par'
cottonseed meal.
Lot 3-Fire parts corn, one par'
linseed oil meal.
Lot 4-Six parts corn; a stock food
was fed this lot in amounts as direct
ed by the manufacturers.
Varying amounts of the above were
fed. ranging from rs pounds per lamp
per day at the beginning on Novem'
Der 80, 1905 (graia had been fed fol-
awhile before the experiment began
to 1.5 pounds during the last part OF
the experiment, which closed on
March Is, 1906. No marked diner
ence in gains resulted from the Vari
GUS rations, the four lots averaging
slightly over 8 pounds per day pei
lamb for 104 days.
On March % and 20 the lambs were
slaughtered. The dressed percent
ages of the various lots, including ca1l
and kidney fat, were as follows:
Lot /, 53.5; lot 2, 500; lot 3, 5l.l;
lot 4, SIS.
The carcasses of the lambs in lots
1 and 4, especially in lot 1, showed
more internal fat than did those Cd
lots 2 and 3, and were considered less
desirable for the block on this &C
count.

HINTS.

The cheapest and most economical
food raised on the farm is the poultry.
In providing nests see that they are
so located that they are handy both
for the hen and for you.
No breed is so fine that you can
make it pay well if you mismanage
your poultry farm.
Feed enough coarse food. 1t pro-
notes digestion and helps to keep the
fowls healthy.
Don't sell the eggs from your best
hens in the market when you have
a surplus. Sell them to people VINO
will pay the price they are worth.
1t is not enough to put fresh water
into the drinking vessels. A good
washing is absolutely essential to
keep them clean and sanitary for the
hens.
When driving never hurry a horse
Up hill.
Be ever kind to the dam before the
colt is born.
Don't let the horses have too much
water at the first of the blowing sea-
son.
A sheep is fine animal to have on
the farm; but it is best to keep on the
safe side of a boom.

Anything less than full feeding at
any period is a sacrifice of net proft.
Glover is richer than grass in
muscle formers and is the best Tor

Next to old horses old sheep are
among the most disappointing AMI
mails which are kept for profit.

GRIT FOR POULTRY.

Many people make a mistake in
not providing enough grit for poul.
try in the summer time. They seem
to think that as long as young chick.
ems and old hens run out Of doors.
even for portion of the time, they
can help themselves to all the grit
necessary. But when one raises many
chickens year after year, grit suitable
for poultry gets mighty scarce and 1t
is always advisable to keep dishes OF
oyster shells and crushed rock
around in various places where the
chickens and hens go, so that they
will have access to suitable grit at
all times. ,.,...z.

Old Game of Football.

Football with unreformed rules
was played in Atherstone in War
wickshire, England, the other day.
The ancient custom Of playing it in
the thoroughfares was observed.
Business was practically at a stand
still, the windows of private and pub
lie buildings barricaded, and a huge
crowd, made up of mill hands, miners,
quarrymen and others. chased a huge
football through the streets. The Gus
tom was inaugurated some time be-
fore the granting of Magma Charta,
and has been observed annually for
upwards of seven hundred years.
