The best grating wax is made from
four parts of resin, two parts beeswax
and one part tallow. all by weight,
melted together over rather slow fire
in an iron vessel of some kind. The
resin is melted first, then the beeswax
IS added, and subsequently the tallow.
The ingredients are gently stirred with
small stick and thoroughly incor-
porated. This Will take from twenty
minutes to half an hour, being care
ful in the meantime to avoid burning
the fluid. When properly mixed, a con
venIent portion-not too much-is
poured into bucket of cold water.
In a minute or less it will be cooled
sufficiently to be lifted out with the
hand and pulled like taffy The hands
must be kept moderately creased with
tallew to prevent sticking. When the
wax is pulled until it becomes pale
yellow it has been worked sufficiently
and may be made into rolls of con-
venient size-three or four inches long
by about an inch in diameter-and
to harden. More of the melted ma
terial is to be poured into the cold
water from time to time, and treated
as before, until the whole is worked
up. The rolls (when they become
hard, as they soon will) are to be
put away until required in grating.
This wax when applied to the trees
will not crack in cold weather, nor
melt and run down in warm weather.
IL grating is done in cool weather. the
wax may need to lie in warm water
for time before applying to the
CRAFTS, in order to have it of the
proper consistency to work well if
used in warm weather it may need to
lie in cold water. Care is needed in
lifting it out to free it from the wa
ter as much as possible. In putting ii
on the CRAFTS the hands must have a
little-yery little-tallow, to prevent
the wax from sticking to them. This
requires Judgment, for If the hands are
too greasy the wax will not adhere
properly to the cut surfaces Of the
CRAFTS 1t should be pressed close!S.

If the apples are picked over in time
it will prevent many sound apples from
being started to rotting.
Apples should be kept covered so
they may not be dried out too quickly.
The person doing the sorting over of
the apples should be a .,areful and re
liable one so that the fruit may not fbe
further bruised in the rehandling.
The old idea Of allowing apples to
be exposed to the air to make them
keep the longer is now regarded as er-
roneous. 1t does indeed sometimes pre-
vent rotting. but il always helps
shriveling.
The only case in which apples should
be exposed to the air is when the eel
lar is moist In that case combining
the apples may increase loss from rot
ting.
Beets and turnips if left to evapo-
rate moisture will soon become of no
value for culinary purposes.
All potatoes should be kept out of
light and so far as possible, closed
from the free air. Light causes chem
ical changes in potatoes that reduce
their value for culinary purposes
Seed potatoes should be kept
throughout the winter'in such a perfect
state that they will neither sprout nor
lose moisture.
When the seed potato is allowed to
send out a sprout it takes ont of the POI
tato considerable amount of mois-
ture in addition to the moisture that
is lost in evaporation through the skin
of the potato

stock Farming saves soil.

AoSfN II AEAAAHS saves Soil.
II IS well known that live stock farm
ing is better for the land than grain
farming. and most farmers have sun.
posed such system would keep up the
fertility Of the soil indefinitely, but
when the annual removal and supply OF
plant food are put into actual figures
it is seen that this is not the case. ex.
cept under some carefully planned sys-
TEN.
Speaking on this subject. DR.. Cyril
o. Hopkins says:
In live stock farming take n five
year rotation, including corn two years,
oats with clover and timothy seeding
the third yeal, and two years clover
and timothy, using ere year for hay
aud the other for pasture. assuming the
same yields as before Shock one-half
the corn or put it in the silo: husk
the other half and use the oats straw
for bedding.
The four crops will remove from the
SOIL about 1863 pounds of nitrogen, and
the clover hay will contain about 100
pounds, which we assume was secured
from the air, making 4S9 pounds Of
nitrogen in the total feed and bedding
If one-half of this is recovered in the
manure and returned to the land there
would be deficiency of 124 pounds.
But two-thirds of the nitrogen can be
recovered by feeding upon cement floors
and liberal use of straw and shredded
fodder for bedding thus reducing the
deficiency to forty three pounds.
The pasturing may gain twelve
pounds of nitrogen. By feeding more
or less upon the fields and by leaving
considerable clover in the pasture to
serve as green manure, this small de-
ticiency can be replaced, but to main
tain or Increase the supply of humus in
the soil is by no means an easy prob

When the COW is not comfortable she
will not produce milk probably.
Neat farm houses and good barns are
generally signs of good dairying.
Don't use cheap salt in making but
ter Use table salt, as the barrel kind
is too coarse.
At present high prices the dairyman
should raise as much of his own feed
as possible
Fresh, clean. solid butter always
brings a better. price on the market
than the soft Rfnd
Dairy COWS should not be too fat.
They should not rob the milk pail to
put ON flesh.
The most successful dairymen are
those who are willing to begin with
small capital and work up.
In building up the herd it win be
found the fall fresh COW is the best,
and so is the fall calf the best to buy.
If COWS that are well fed and prop
erly cared for do not prove profitable
dispose of them and get others.
