Growing Appreciation Of Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is gradually spreading all
over the country and its value is be
ing recognized in almost every good
farming community in every state in
the union. Where the rain fall is
heavy in summer it is a difficult crop
to harvest because it takes so long to
cure, but the value of alfalfa as feed
is sufficient to pay for the very best
machinery to handle 1t and hay caps
to cover it. When farmer looks at
his alfalfa and realizes that it is worth
almost as much as the same weight
in bran, he is willing to go to consid-
cradle trouble and expense to take
proper care of it. Alfalfa, of course, is
at home in the dryer irrigation dis
tricts of the west, but 1t may be almost
as valuable In Ohio, New York state
or New England. II is one of the very
best dairy feeds ever grown on farm.
This is one reason why 1t is becoming
so popular in the milk shipping dis.
tricts adjacent to large cities.

LAYING A CEMENT WALK.
How the Farmer Can Do the Work for
Himself.

Farmers requiring walks about their
homes will find nothing so practical
as cement walksShygienic. because
non-absorbent; beautiful. because uni
form and artistic in finish; durable,
because harder than stone; and at the
same time cheaper than sawed stone
or any other good sidewalk material.
In many cities ordinances require that
in the better quarters nothing but ce-
ment walks can be laid.
What has been found true in the
city will prove equally true in the
country. Like everything else, the
quality of the walk will depend large
ly on the skill used in the selection
of materials and laying the walk
The farmer who can find sand and
gravel near, which he can often gel
for the hauling, and who could do his
own work at some not over busy time
would be at no money outlay for the
walk but the cost of cement, which
would not exceed 21a cents per square
foot of a first-class four-inch thicl
walk, as one barrel of Portland cemen

owner to build cement stove with
which to heat the conservatory. We do
not understand that any heating adj

stove, but the novelty of the thing
makes 1t interesting.
The stove was made in three parts

base was made with concrete CRATE

an arch, as In ID. 1t will be noted also
that these bars are made with shoul-
der e, to meet the inside of the iron

comes where the two bars cross each
other, there would be so great pres

circle that they would soon be cut off.

in stock by hardware men. II they
cannot be procured at the hardware
stores, any blacksmith will readily
make one. The circle should be IA
inches in diameter, and made of quar-
ter-inch bar iron.

EXHAUST FOR MOTOR BOAT.
How II Can Be Arranged So as to Be
Practically Noiseless.

Everyone who rides in motor boat
will be indebted to the Motor Boat
magazine for suggesting this method
of abolishing the nuisances of the ex-
haust 1t is simple enough--when you
know how. Run the exhaust pipe over
board at a point one-half foot above
water line, and there screw on an
ordinary elbow, leaving It free to turn.
Into the elbow screw solidly four feet
of 1k inch pipe, and TO this attach a
wire or cord by which the end may
be held up out of the water. Now,
with a little practice, you can master
the problem of noiseless, odorless,
heatless, sprayless exhaust.
With the hinged pipe drawn up out
of the water, start your engine. AS
soon as the boat gains headway drop
the pipe in, and you will be delighted
TO discover that your boat is actually
going faster and your engine running
freer. and without noise or smell.
The reason is evident The water
rushing past the open end of the pipe
produces a suction which makes the
exhaust more perfect, emptying the
cylinder of all exploded gas after each
stroke of the piston so that the next
EXPLOSION has full effect. On account
of varying speed at different times a
little experimenting may be necessary
In order to find Just the right depth to
which the pipe end should be dropped.
The vacuum may be still further In

stove was made by setting a small
barrel inside a large one and filing
the space between the two with con-
crete, the door being blocked out In

concrete was wet. The whole stove,
says Popular Mechanics, was reinforc-
ed with "lock-woven steel fabric" at
cost of about one-sixth of what an
ordinary iron stove would be.

and others are severely pressed, then
they may rest assured that they have
made poor job of the tail. The aim
should be to have equal pressure upon
every apple in the last row.
In the ordinary wooden press head
the greater part of the pressure comes
upon the center of the barrel head. To
force the head into the chime, ii is
necessary to press the center of the
head some distance lower. After the
head is firmly fixed in the barrel, and
the pressure taken off, the head, OF
course springs back. The apples are
therefore, subjected to fully half an
inch more pressure in the center oi

The Overhead ventilator.-There are
yet many poultry houses in the coun.
try that have overhead ventilators,
which are usually wooden spouts car
ried up some distance above the house.
The original belief was that such a
spout would carry out all of the foul
air. 1t does just the opposite many
times, it let's the cold air fall down
on the sleeping fowls. The air it does
take out is the warm air in the top of
the poultry house. Carbonic acid, gas
is the gas that the poultryman desires
to get rid of and this is a heavy gas
that sinks instead of rises. The over
head ventilators should be pulled
down and the roof made tight. There
are many ways of successfully venti-
lating the poultry but that is not one
of them.

same size and weight. the difference
in price being demanded for the bet
ter quality. This condition runs
throughout chickens, turkeys, ducks,
geese and squads. Every one of these
may be grown to command the very
highest prices; in fact, there does not
seem to be any limit within reason to
the prices obtainable for this high
grade stock At the same time the
market is continually overcrowded
with cheap, lower grades, many of
which must be sent to the market and
sold at whatever prices they will
