Labor-savins Device for the eranary.

Is II not wisdom when building a
granary to have a good method Of
handling the grain without lifting
every pound by hand? Take a crop
of corn, say 1000 bushels. In the
ear 1t represents a S5-ton weight, and
1000 bushels wheat represents 30-ton
weight. All of this must be lifted by
hand unless in planning the granary,
some means of lifting the grain has
been provided for. A number of port
able elevators are now on the market,
and we believe their first cost is not
too great for the average grain farm
er TO own one. By having a convey
or, the whole length of the building
at the highest point, the situation is
easily controlled, by having a portable
elevator. There are several methods
of arranging an elevator system for
your building, but none SO intricate
but that when the elevator IL in

stalled, it will be pronounced sim
plicity itself. Think of the rush and
hurry at threshing time and the
great amount of back-aching work in
order to put the grain where you
would like to have it. The elevator
solves the question. Then, again,
think of the corn-husking time. When
one has worked from morning until
noon to make his load, he does not
fee! like shoveling corn while the
team is resting in the barn. A little
forethought and planning for this, and
presto-the load is taken care of in a
jify by horsepower instead of hand
power. The illustration given here
with, taken from Northwestern >gri-
culturist. is one method of handling
the matter. The permanent conveyor
shown in the illustration is so ar
ranged that the load can be deposited
in any bin desired.

Cultivation of the Apple

This is the most important feature
of the treatment of an orchard. In

other cultivated crop. II is well. how.

TO keep 1t from washing This means
that some other crop than the trees
may be- grown in the orchard. In
small home orchards any of the small
fruits may be grown between the
rows. On large areas corn is good
crop to grow providing the land Is
rich enough to produce good crop
and does not wash too badly. II corn

in spring. Where land is rich and re-
sistant of drouth or where il is so
steep as to wash badly, an orchard
may sometimes be sown to clover for
year or two at time to hold the
soil and to add humus to it. AS a
rule, however, it is best not to use
any crop except clover. that will not
admit of clean cultivation. In many
cases IL is we'll to rotate with different
crops, having part of the orchard in
one thing and part in another. This
enables one to harvest only one Sec
tion OF the orchard at a time and to
have succession of different feeds IL
hogs are used to eat the orchard
crops. While clean cultivation should
be the rule aimed at, IL must be re-
membered that one must vary from
this plan to suit his individual condi-
tions and TO grow those crops which
will best suit his particular needs.

We are all creatures OF habit,
men and women alike, and the habits
and surroundings of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character OF
both. The root of all bad manners Is
selfishness; when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
lags much in the rear, and drops so
far behind in time that 1t disappears
altogether. "One cannot keep UP the
ceremony and etiquette Of society
when at home" True. for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep so
ciety together, but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be so much the habit with each OF us
that It will become our second nature,
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can an arm or leg.
