HANDLING the Straw Stack.

Have the stacking yard as near the
barn as possible and fence 1t off from
the barnyard. Clean up around the
bottom of the straw stack SO the stock
will begin to eat there. Do not allow
any stock to sleep in the stack yard
at night. BY keeping 1t clean around
the stack the cattle will lick up all
the chaff and grain and at nigh: you
will have about enough loose straw
to bed down the stock, which will
leave the stack yard clean for the
next morning. There is no waste Of
straw by this method and 1t is con-
verted into feed and manure with no
extra labor.

FARM NOTES.

See that no one disturbs the birds
on your farm. They are your best
friends.
Sell off few Of the common rams II
you are raising sheep and invest the
money in one good animal.
While blackstrap molasses can be
safely fed to grown cattle or horses,
care should be exercised in feeding it
to young stock.
Flies in daytime and mosquitoes at
night make stock lose flesh. Stables
can easily be screened and at nominal
cost.
Sunlight and air and cleanliness are
the cheapest Of all disinfectants.
Black knot in plums and apple can
ker can be cured by judicious pruning
and spraying.
Keep the garden free from weeds
until after frost.
For the protection of the weaker
members of the flock grain should be
we'll scattered when feeding fowls.
Clean up the poultry houses and
whitewash them before frost.

Treat smutty Seed Wheat.

II It is necessary to SOW seed wheat
from a crop which has been attacked
by sinking smut the seed should first
be treated with formalin. One pint
OF formalin In 40 gallons water will
treat SO bushels of wheat. Spread 1t
out on a clean, tight floor previously
sterilized with the formalin solution.
Sprinkle thoroughly until every kerr

peated until at least three quarts OF
solution per bushel of grain have been
absorbed. Cover the pile with cloth
or canvas for two hours, then shovel
the grain over at intervals to dry 1t

used In handling the grain must be
carefully disinfected.

others of British possession, and the
French, Dutch and Danish possessions,

The application of crude oil to dirt

that 1t affords one Of the best means
of producing a solid, dustless highway
that will not break through In wet

sandy, an application of heavy loan

The road Is graded and we'll firmed,
being first plowed and pulverized to a
depth of four or five inches. Oil Is
applied with sprinkler and harrow
follows the sprinkler to mix the soil
and oil. In tests in Kansas, says the
Farm and Home, heavy oiling was
given about October / to the amount
Of about one gallon for each square
yard. The road was narrowed after
the sprinkler and week later 12-ton
steam roller was run over the road
several times. making 1t thoroughly
firm.
After being closed one week, the
road was opened to all kinds of heavy
traffic and proved to be firm but not
dusty. Fast horses did not tear up
the soil with their shoes. This road
was not affected by winter freezing,

and preventing heaving by frost
The following June the surface, on

ROADS ON HILLS.
How They May Be Protected from
Outlying.

Where the road is built on a steep
grade some provision should be made
to prevent the washing of the cutters
into deep gullies. This can be done
by paving the bottoms and sides of
the cutters with brick or field stones.
In order TO make the flow as small as
possible in side bitches it is often adj
vlsable to construct frequent outlets
into the adjacent fields or streams, or.
If possible, to lay underground pipes
or blind drains with screened open
ings into side bitches at frequent in
tervals. The size of side bitches
should depend upon the amount of
water they are expected to carry. If
possible they should be located at
least three feet from the edge of the
travelled roadway.
All side bitches should have grad
ual fall OF at least half a foot in
every 100 feet Their sides, particu-
larly those sloping toward the road
way, should be broad and flaring, SO as
to prevent accidents as well as the
caving in of their banks. Their bot
toms should be wide enough to carry
the largest amount of water that is
likel to flow through them at any one
time. Sometimes the only bitches
necessary to carry off the surface
water are those made with the road
machine. The blade of the machine
may be set at any desired angle, and
when drawn along by horses or by
traction engine cuts into the surface
and spreads the earth uniformly over
the Travelled way.-Bulletin Depart
