S250,000 for the establishment Of fish
hatcheries in Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa

is concerned, this is a just recognition of
good work done by the state fish hatch

improving the fishing in Lake Superior

HARVESTING WHEAT.
An important Point In the Proper
Shocking of the Grain.

Since the day of self-binders, the
harvesting of wheat has been an easy
task. Six horses, to be worked in
terchangeably, and good binder are
the essentials. If the weather is cool,
man can cut from Is to 20 acres
each day by getting an early start
and changing teams every three or
four hours.
The cutting of wheat is small
matter compared with shocking it so
that it will turn the heavy rains
sometimes incident to this country
and also stand the fierce winds that
often accompany them. After
number of years experience in
shocking wheat, writes a correspond
ent of Farmers Voice, l have found
that the shock constructed after this
plan will stand the wind and weather
better than any other kind. The shock
Is made of 16 bundles. Three pair
are set together in a line running
north and south, then three bundles
are placed to each side and one at
each end of the shock, after which
it is capped with two good bundles
broken so as to form kind of
roof This makes a strong shock;
the caps act as water shed, the
sides of the shock being to the east
and west are dried out quickly after
rain, and being set to the north
and south it is better able to defy
the storms that generally come from
the northwest in the summer time.
AS soon as the shocks are suffi-
ciently cured after cutting the wheat
should be threshed or put into long
ricks, for if allowed to stand in the
shock it will be injured to some de-
gree, however good the weather may
be. If the farmer has a large crop,
he should thresh it the first opportu-
nifty after it is ready, and then put 1t
on the market from the machine, for 1t
seldom pays to bulk it up and wait for
a better market.

TO AVOID DEAD LETTERS.
Advice from Office Which Last Year
Got 100000 of Them.

The dead-letter Office is trying to ad.
minister an ounce of prevention to the
postal service by inclosing some print
ed advice with all letters which it re.
turns.
The advice is on a slip of paper
about the size of an ordinary envelope.
On one end of this slip is printed:
Follow these instructions and your
letter will not go astray" Below this
heading are five paragraphs:
Use ink in addressing letters or 9th.
er mail matter.
Write plainly the name of the per.
son addressed, street and number,
postoffice and state.
Place your name and address in the
upper left-hand corner of the envelope.
Follow the model form shown in
the diagram and If the letter is not de.
livered 1t will be returned to you
More than 100000 pieces of mail
matter were sent to the division of
dead letters last year, large proper
tion of which could not be delivered
because of carelessness in writing ad-
dresses.

a vehicle. The space between the
central ditch and the hedge was un-
fit for any kind of traffic, being a Sc
ries of small gullies. 1t is clear that
all the water which falls between the
board fence and the central ditch will
find it's way into the ditch before it
flows very far down the hill.
The smaller bitches on the hedge
fence side of the road will also over
flow into the middle ditch when the
limit of their capacity is reached. Nat
urally, the middle ditch must become
more and more gully. The road is
hollow in the middle clear to the top
of the hill and the ditch carried not
only the water which fell on the high
way, but also furnished drainage for
a considerable area of farm land to
the east and smaller scope of ter
ritory on the west This hill has been
fixed repeatedly with the big grader,
but it does not stay fixed; 1t is in bad
condition to-day,
Our second picture is of the clay
hill Immediately south of my home,
writes d. Ward King in Orange Judd
Farmer. My front gate is under the
tree which seems to be out in the road
at the hilltop. Beginning at this gate
and coming south down the hill is the
half-mile stetch which l began to drag
in March, 1896. and which has been
cared for solely with a drag and a
plow ever since that date. Pictures
of good and bad roads are disappoint-
ing, as a rule, and this pair of pictures
is not an exception. Few pictures of
good roads show the road as good as
it really Is, while in all my expert
ence / never have seen & picture of a
bad road which gave any adequate
idea of Its badness. In this case the
depth of the central ditch Gig. u
does not appear, and the gullies near
the hedge fence are hidden entirely,
while the apparent roughness of this
hill Gig. p is an exaggeration.
This picture proves to my expert
enced eye that the soil was too dry
when the drag was used. Although /
probably dragged 1t myself, do not
remember the circumstances, but l
suspect the soil was just right on
Sunday, and the work was deferred
till Monday. In Iowa there are people
who drag the road on the Sabbath,
rather than walt "a hours. when they
feel certain that the walt will make
the road too dry for the best results

HAND OR MACHINE LABOR.
Latter Is That Which Marks the su.
periority of American Agriculture.


1t is the use of machines that has
distinguished the American farmer
from the farmers in some of the old
er countries in the world. The use of
machinery has made the American
farmer rich. Without it, he would
have been compelled to employ very
many more men to carry on the work
of the farm, with the result that a
very large part of the returns coming
from the farm would have had to be
paid out for labor.
The American farm hborer has also
become a higher class worker be.
cause he has had to handle machin.
cry. His pay, as represented in his
living, has been far above that of the
farms where the compensation is so
low that the laborer has to live on
black bread and beer. Think, says the
Farmers Review, of the American
farm laborer living on black bread and
beer the year around! He would re.
volt at once and would flee to the
city.
The most successful American farm
ers to-day are those that have settled
down to the conviction that they can.
not afford to farm without the best
farm machinery that can be had. The
higher the price of labor the more is it
necessary to secure first-class farm
machines of all kinds, that the place
of the man that cannot be secured
may be taken by machine.

Jenkins slid quietly out of bed, drew
enn his trousers and coat, stepped into
his slippers and lifted baby out of his
basket Then he went downstairs,
turned on the light, and sat before the
CRATE, in which bed of Goals was still
glowing. without looking at the lit
Gle clock on the mantel, he knew 1t
was about 1880 a. m. Force of habit
always led to his awaking at this hour
To give Baby his bottle, for when Baby
came, Jenkins had agreed to take the
might shift, the chief duty of which
WINS 10 give the young man his milk
and peppermint.
jenkins unrolled his bundle, disclos,
Ing n round, red face over which two
chubby fists were kneading. Then he
leaned forward and held the bottle
over the fire. Baby opened his eyes
ard began smiling uneasily. This un-
'sasiness was an infallible sign of trou-
hle. for Jenkins had become wise in
the ways of babies.
Gle placed the warm nipple in Ba-
Sy's mouth and leaned back content
edfs, taking a cigar from his pocket,
ftla time of Babys feasting comfort.
BTt Baby would not feast. He refused
the oottle absolutely, and began wrig-
CHING and twisting in way that could
mean but one thing-"wind on the
stomach" or just plain baby collie. So
Jenkins laid his cigar by and calmly
awaited more alarming symptoms.
Baby ceased his shifting, puckered his
Ced face frightfully, closed his eyes
and emitted one long, startling wall.
Et was the first light thunder roll that
precedes the storm.
Jenkins sighed resignedly, in antici-
patton of the impending ordeal. For
little while the responsibility of fa-
aher weighed heavily upon him, and
Ae half wished he were back in bach
eEDrtiona. This thing of doing right by
postority is not what it is cracked up
10 be, thought he, as he teetered the
fretfing baby on his knee.
While Baby quieted to take long
lhreAth for the next wall, jenkins
