may be of any shape, but it should be
provided with cleats fixed to the sides,
upon which the hanging bars rest.
A pulley is fitted inside to the top Of
the building, and a hosting rope is
passed owe it. The hanging bar is
fastened to the rope by two spreading
ties. so that 1t will not easily tip when
loaded. The hams and meat are hung
upon the hooks fixed in the bar, and
the whole is hoisted to the cleats,
when the bar is swung around so that
the ends rest upon the cleats. The

of a small rod, and another bar
may be loaded and raised in the same

Points In Gardenina.

There is little danger of making the
soil too rich for a vegetable garden.
The use of hand tools is unnecessary
in the preparation of a seed bed if the
soil is worked at the proper time.
The labor of hand wedding may be
reduced to a minimum by planting in
freshly worked soil only, tilling close
to the rows early in the season and
permitting 40 weeds to ripen their
seed.
The use of a wheel hoe saves labor
in the care of a garden even when
much of the tillage is to be done with
a horse.

Where podder Has Been Seede,

Where dodder has been seeded with
clover or alfalfa its presence will be
indicated by the appearance of more
or less rounded. spreading areas in
which the plants are dying down, and
if examined at close range the thread
Hike twining stems Of the dodder will
be found covering them. These areas
can be readily seen even at some dis
lance, as they present a yellowish or
light orange colored appearance. When
discovered the plants within this area
and for a couple of feet beyond should
be cut, allowed to dry and burned, or
straw may be spread on these spots
and burned to destroy the dodder and
prevent it's forming seeds.

It Is Economy to Build Them Neatly

As poultry houses on farms have
to be repaired. often as a general rule,
would it not be better to build more
substantial ones at first and save the
trouble and expense of continually i'm

matter. The carpenter usually thinks
that any kind of wood will do for a
henhouse, and in that he is much mis-
taken. Only the well seasoned wood
should be used, for when the damp
days arrive, the house having no heat
in it, the boards will shrink and ex-
pand until they are out of shape more

contend with. Use the best wood in

Another point worth considering is

The appearance of a farm means a
great deal to the owner if he ever
wishes to sell it. Good fences, fresh

more likely to take an attractive look

Alfalfa For Horses,

Caution should be used in feeding al

Tops of Eenceposts

The tops of fenceposts should be cut
slanting, preferably with an ak, so
that ralnwater will not remain on
them. When they are cut with a saw
the pitch should be greater, especially
in posts in which there is a marked
difference in hardness between the
spring wood and the summer wood.

A dodder infested stand of clover or

duce a crop of hay or be used for pas
turage or for soiling provided the crop
is removed before the dodder produces
seed. Flowing should follow immedi-
ately after the removal of the crop;
otherwise mature dodder seeds will be
buried and possibly prove troublesome

Story of a Mandatory of Which the
Products Are Now Highly Priced.
At the end Of the North Parade,
IowestOft, is the Warren house-a
place of great interest to connoisseurs
of china. 1t was here in the eighteenth
century that a discovery of fine clay
was made which eventually led TO
Lowestoft manufacturing the china
which is now so rare that it is almost
priceless.
Initial experiments, made by Hew'
lin Luson, Esq, of Gunton park, near
Lowestoft, with some fine clay dis,
covered accidentally on his estate, re,
suited in complete success. and ulti,
mately led to the opening of a factory
at Lowestoft in 1856 for the manufac.
ture Of fine earthenware and porcelain
soft paste"
In 1775 a finely glazed and deco,
rated hard paste" was introduced. the
efficiency and beauty of which be,
tokened a brilliant success for the
p%roprietors. Contemporary evidence
indisputably shows that from 1770 to
1900 the Lowestoft works were at the
zenith of their fame. Owing, however,
to the enormous expenses and diff.
Guilty incurred in procuring china clay
from Cornwall and elsewhere latter
the original clay was exhausted). and
the rapidly increasing competition OF
other makers, its prosperity waned,
the collapse came and the works were
closed in 1903.
