Phonetic Exnressinn

A large German woman held up a
long line of people at the money order
window i'll the Boston postofiice the
other day, and all because her memory
went back ON her. She wanted to send
some Christmas money to her son, a
sailor on a merchant steamship then in
foreign waters, but when she presented
the application at the window the clerk
noticed that the address was lacking.

Ah0uf Cow Testing

Prof. Fraser of the Illinois Expert
ment Station says that a complete
knowledge and mastery of the dairy
business cannot be secured without
testing each COW. Many farmers and
dairymen think this testing of. the COWS
is too much trouble, and do not want
to fuss around with it, but if they
considered the profits to be realized
from herd of really good cows as
compared with one of poor cows, or
even mixed herd, they would soon see
that it really pays to fuss" around
with the scales and Babcock test.
Where one cow will give good returns
for her feed and care there may be
another in the stall next to her that is
not paying her board, but is eating up
the profits from the paying COW. But
how is the owner to know this if he
does not test them? A pair of scales
and tester do not cost much but they
pay big profits on the investment.

Seven Lean Years.

Brugsch Bey, the Psychologist, says
that it is no longer difficult to understand
the origin of the seven lean years" mar
rative in the book of Genesis. The hier-
oglyphic inscriptions translated by him
show that 100 years before the Chris
tan era the Nile for seven consecutive
years did not overflow and famine, pesti-
ience and misery followed. We know, -
says he, that the date of the seven years
of frutlessness mentioned in Genesis
was 100 3. c., and thus what has been
looked upon as a fancy has through these
hieroglyphics become a matter of history.
The failure of the Nile to overflow, the
whitening of the vegetation, the lands de-
scourges are all depicted in the pictures
which the student has been able to de-
cinher"

til he had been on the vain search for
nearly week that some one told him
to call at the mint, and there he re-

therefore there had never been nor
would be any silver dollars for the pres

Cultivation of Potatoes.


Cultivation should commence just as
soon as the young plants begin to APP
pear above the ground. The field may
be gone over with a light harrow, or,
better still, with a weeder. This is a
cheap method of cultivation, since q
wide space is covered. 1t is also effec-
tive in breaking any crust that may
have formed, in destroying small weeds
and leveling ridges left in planting.
As soon as the rows can be seen the
cultivator should be used. If the
ground has become packed the first
cultivation may be deep and close to
the plants. Subsequent cultivation
should be frequent. The conservation
of moisture by frequent tillage cannot
be too strongly enforced. The old no.
ton that tillage must cease as soon as
the blossom appears is wrong. 1t
should be continued as late in the sea-
tops begin to spread out and cover the
space between the rows they partially
shade the soil and thus lessen the loss
of moisture by evaporation.
The cultivator should be set as mar
row as the space bety cen and keep it
covered with a loose mulch. Expert
ence and experiments favor nearly lev
ell cultivation. Excessive killing in
tensifies the injurious effects of dry
weather. The best cultivator is one
having a number of small teeth, SO that
it will leave the soil fine and compare
lively level.

Grating Methods.

Apple trees are usually propagated
in the nursery either by budding or
root grating two-year-old seedlings.
Larger seedlings may be taken up and
the roots cut into great number OF
sections five or six inches long. Upon
these the scionS of the desired varie-
ties should be grated by means of the
whip and tongue method of grating,
as shown in the accompanying Illus
trations. This grating does not re-
quire any wax, the parts being simply
held together by binding with Irvine or
raffia. Root grating of this kind is
usually done during the winter time,
and the CRAFTS stored in moist sand or
soil until the ground is fit for plant
ing them outside in the spring. They
should then be planted i'll nursery rows,
and in two or three years should make
trees large enough to transplant to per-
manent positions.
Top grating is usually done by the
cleft method, as shown in the illus
trations. In this method the scions
are cut wedge-shaped and fitted firmly
into the cleft made in the stock, which
is usually cut off squarely where the
branches are from one to two inches
in diameter, two scions being placed in
each stock. In this, as in all methods
of grating, great care must be taken
to get the cambium layer, or inner
bark, of the stock and scion in contact
in at least one side, for it is at this
point that union takes place, and any
failure to connect the cambium layers
of stock and scion is sure to result in
failure of the scions. In top graft
ing, the wounded surfaces should be
covered with grating wax. A good
formula for this is: -Four parts of res
in, two of beeswax and one of tallow,
by weight, melted together. Top graft
ing should be done early in the spring,
before growth commences.
In all this propagation work great
care should be taken to select scions
from trees bearing the very best type
of the varieties intended for propa-

Agricultural Extension.

One method employed by the State
agricultural colleges of reaching the
farm boys and girls of the country is
through departments Of agricultural ex-
tension. Such departments have been
established at most of the older col
leges and they are doing a vast amount
of good. The extension department of
Ohio is one worthy of the attention of
the agricultural world, for through its
monthly bulletins thousands of chill
dren and teachers in the State have
been interested in farm education who
would otherwise have never heard of
the college and what it is doing.

Pig Pen Pointers.

When fed dry, shelled corn is more
economical than cornmeal to feed to
fattening hogs.
In selecting breeding stock it is an
item to know they are from a family
noted for fertility, as this is an inner
tied quality.
To secure the best results care should
be taken to feed the hogs according to
age, conditions and time of marketing.
When an all-corn ration is fed to
growing pigs the muscles of the body
do not develop to their normal size.
Desirable breeding qualities in a
herd are fixed by long line of care
full selection and breeding
The swine breeder is responsible not
only for the conditions he provides but
for those he permits. 4
The boy and the pig, generally, speak
ing, are the important factors on the
American stock farm.

seed Inspection Is Needed.

The need of rigid inspection of agri-
cultural seeds such as clover and alfal-
ia has been again brought sharply to
the attention of the authorities of the
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical
College. DR.. o. NJ. Ball of the depart
ment Of botany has repeatedly warned
farmers and planters against the dan
gers of introducing highly pernicious
weeds into alfalfa and other fields
through impure agricultural seeds 1t
has been pointed out that Russian this
tie, dodder, Johnson grass and several
varieties of burr clover and melillotus
have been found growing in alfalfa
fields in various parts of the State, and
they have been introduced solely
through impure alfalfa seed. Another
extremely nOXious weed has made it's
appearance in alfalfa fields in widely
separated parts Of the State. This is
charlock or wild mustard.

80 BUSHELS OF OATS TO THE
ACRE.
What Mr.. KaItenbrunner Has to
Say About His Grain Crops in
Central Canada.

What MIR. KaItenbrunner Has to
Central Canada.
Writing from Regina, Saskatche-
wan, Central Canada, Mr.. A. Kalten-
Drummer writes:
Some years ago / took up home
stead for myself, and also one for my
son. The half section which we own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Greek; is a low,
level and heavy land. We put in 20
acres of wheat in stubble, which went
20 bushels to the acre, and 80 acres of
summer fallow, which went % bushels
to the acre. All the wheat we harvest
ed this year is No. / hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. We did not sell any wheat
yet, as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want first class seed.
for there is no doubt if you sow good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels Of first
class oats out of 160 acres; so acres
has been fall blowing, which yielded 80
bushels per acre, and 80 acres stubble.
which went 30 bushels to the acre.
These oats are the best kind that can
be raised We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got 53 cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of Au-
gust before any frost could touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and unfavorable, we will make
more money out of our crop this year
than last.
For myself I feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions"
Information regarding free home
stead lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta may be had on application
to any Canadian Government Agent,
whose advertisement appears elsewhere.
He will give you information as to the
best route and what it will cost you
to reach these lands for purposes of
inspection.

CAPTURING AN ENGINE.
How a Plucky Engineer Overlook a
Runaway on English Railway.

One of the finest stories in the history
of the railways centers round runaway
engine on the Stockton and Darlington
line
The engine was observed by the driver
of another and more powerful one See
ing the fugitive speeding in the direction
of Darlington he uncoupled his own en-
CINE, crossed the points and set out in
pursuit on the same line. 1t was long
chase, but the pursuer, driven at top
speed, gradually overhauled the run
away. r
At last it came near enough for the
driver to crawl to the front of his en-
CINE and drop a stout chain over the ten
der hook of the other. He returned to
his footplate, shut off steam and screwed
down his brake.
This steadied the one in front and so
retarded its pace that the driver was
able now to creep from his own engine
on to the runaway, but on the brake, and
bring it to a standstill. almost in the
crowded Darlington station. = London

The Wood Famine Ahead.

The prediction of Chief Forester
Clifford Pinchot that there will be no
more wood in this country in twenty
wears unless some action is taken by
the people of the United States in pre-
serving and perpetuating the woodlands
now in existence should be an omi-
nous warning. Nearly every farm has
it's own woodlot, but in many cases
this is being rapidly cleared out. 1t
should be every farmers concern to see
that these woodlots are kept in pro-
ductiye condition.
