The secret OF washing brushes sue,
ccssfully is to dry them quickly. Have
ready two dishes. rather shallow and
with enough surface to allow of hold
ing the brushes parallel. Put hot wa
ter, In which you have dissolved soap
and soda or ammonia, In one and cold
water In the other. immense the bristles
OF the brushes IN the boiling water,
passing them from one side TO another
quickly and steadily without wettIng
the backs any more than possible.
They Will clear Of dirt instantly with
out touching them with the hand or
with a smaller brush. which Is what
gets the bristles out Of shape Rinse
in the cold water and add a few drops
OF lemon Juice to II II the brushes show
any tendency Of getting yellow. Dry
them by setting on newspaper, bris-
ties down, over radiator or register
which is not too hot, and let them be-
come thoroughly dry before using.

Loading the Wagon.

1t is generally believed that the load
pulls easier If put well forward on the
wagon But this is not so on the or.
binary wagon, where the hind wheels
are larger than the front ones. Should
the wheels be equal In size the load
should be equally distributed. If the
trucks are so low down that the
horses have an upward pull on the
load, then 1t would be all right to put
the load well forward. The load
should be proportional to the surface
contact OF the wheels. A large wheel
sinks less than small one. There
fore the load should be heaviest on the
hind wheels. Distribute the weight 50
that no one wheel or no one side Is
carrying the greater share, lest II
make the draft excessive for the ton
mage carried.

"0R the money invested and

of the most profitable side lines
on the farm. Indeed, many
farms are run at profit with poultry
alone. If poultry is profitable on a
place where all the feed must be
bought II should be doubly 50 on
the general farm, where much of IT.
feed Is made up Of waste products.
Too often the work OF caring for the
poultry is left TO the women and chill

they can do all right, but the man Of
the place should not consider II be-
neath his dignity to lend a helping
