Both hands, exclaimed the friend
But how on earth can you make any

Easy enough. 1t Is theory Of
mine that 1t Is waste of time not to
be able to use both hands at the same
time. Both hands and brain may be
trained, with care and attention, SO
that each hand may do its full share
of work-each hand being employed
on a separate task. 1t is not really an
affair Of the hands at all, in the last
analysis, but an affair of the intellect

COckIeburs.

A good many farmers are still strug-
Cling with the cocklebur nuisance.
It Is possible to rid the ranch of this
pest in one year and realize profit
on the operation. Any time before
the weeds have attained much height
take a plow and harrow to the field
and before the day is done sow one
and one-half bushels of good kafhr
corn to each acre plowed. Harrow
we'll and the next day repeat the oper-
alton until the cocklebur territory has
been thoroughly covered. When the
kaffir seed is in the dough NOV or
bind with a harvester and you Will
have one of the very best crops or
roughage to be had. Remove this crop
from the field as soon as convenient.
Two years or so of this kind of tillage
will clean out the burs and the opera
tion is certainly worth while.-Denver

In growing corn one of the factors
that is seldom rated at its true worth
Is first.class motive power. Anyone
who has plowed narrowed, planted
and cultivated with an Unmatched,
short-weighted, high-strung team
knows how difficult 1t Is to do good
work. No farm hand thus handicapped
can render service that Is satisfac-
tory to good farmer. Farm teams
should be evenly matched as to age,
size and temperament Weight Is es-
sential. Teams should be big enough
to keep a reserve power constantly
on tap; they should draw any imple-
ment with ease and at steady, lively
pace. II they are of standard draft
type and are shifted occasionally
they will go through the season with
out breakdowns. This depends, how
ever, to a large extent on how they
are fed and managed. Much depends
also on the ease and comfort which
they enjoy in the collar; sore necks
and CALLED shoulders, due to poorly
fitted collars, prove serious obstacles
to good, continuous work. Corn-belt
farms should be equipped with heavy
draft teams; the highest type of d.
versifled agriculture in that territory
depends on this reliable, efficient mo-
tive power. Big horses bear a close
relationship to big corn crop.-Chi-
cago Live Stock World.

pu,,n for The Garden.

A good pump should be part OF the
eouipment of every garden. For the
small garden good bucket COM
pressed air or knapsack pump Will be
most satisfactory, while for larger
gardens a barrel pump, with an at
tachment for spraying several rows
when occasion demands, or an auto
matte pump geared to the wheels or
the truck, will be found more economl-
cal of time and labor. The small
compressed air sprayer is handy, as 1t
leaves both hands free for use, and
is. therefore, useful if 1t is desired to
spray two or three small trees, posi-
bly with the use of a stepladder to
reach their tops.

Testing Milk.

In some sections many Of the best
dairymen are adapting the Holland
plan Of mining and hiring men to
VISIT each herd one day in the month
and test the milk of each cow, thus
giving the owners an idea Of which
cows are the ones that are paying for
their keep This plan IS very SEN
sible one and should be encouraged.
The cost is comparatively small, as
the tester boards with the family
while he is doing his work and IS car
ried to the next place the day he has
completed his work. This insures reg
ularity in the work. In Michigan this
plan has greatly increased the average
production per cow. Wisconsin, too,
has taken up this matter. 1t is good
business and it may become popular,
but some Of our dairymen are hard
to turn from the beaten paths of their
fathers.-Farmers and Drovers' Jour
nal.

Fertilizers.

Fertilizers may be divided into two
general cIasses-direct and indirect,
or nutritive and stimulant. A direct
or nutritive fertilizer is one which
furnishes nourishment to the growing
crop. Nourishment means simply nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
These are the three ingredients which
must be renewed through the medium
of manures and fertilizers. stimu-
liant or indirect fertilizer is one which
does not furnish an actual plant food
to the soil, but by its stimulating ac-
tion renders available some plant food
which previously existed In the soil
in an insoluble or unavailable condi-
tion,

DippnE Stock for Lice.

There are various kinds Of stock
dips, and most of them are good. Their
use Is becoming more common because
their value is better known than for
merly Almost every stockman has
animals that a"e not thrifty. and Re
don't know the reason why. 1t very
often happens that such animals are
troubled with parasites of some kind,
perhaps several kinds. They are too
small to be seen with the naked eye,
and the farmer tries different kinds
OF medicines, when an outside appli-
cation of some disinfectant is the only
remedy needed. When stockmen once
learn the value of dipping they need
no further encouragement. They keep
on dipping twice a year, because they
know 1t pays both in dollars and in
satisfaction.
We have found crude oil one of the
best and most effective louse killers
and disinfectants. 1t makes an eN-
cellent dip for swine. 1t will remove

carbolic acid to fifty gallons of crude

1t will, when used alone, prove
very cheap oil to use on farm machin-
cry when it is stored away for winter.
1t can be used with safety as fly
repellant on all farm animals by the
use of sprayers, and will prove as well
adapted to that purpose as many OF
the more expensive dips and mixtures.

Feeding Sheep.

There are several points in feeding
sheep that must not be overlooked.
The feed lot must be dry, with plenty
of clean, dry bedding; the animals
must have plenty of Gle I, pure water,
and the feed troughs should be kept
clean. These should be arranged so
that the sheep cannot foul them with
their feet. Another point is to keep
them from becoming excited or fright
ened. To this end 1t is better that ono
nerson feed them all the time.

The ashes from apple, pear ana
peach trees contain about 20 per cent
of lime, and the crops of fruit borne
every year also contains lime. When
orchards fail it Is always profitable
to apply lime, and it should be done at
least once in five years. Wood ashes
are preferable to lime for orchards,
but the lime is much cheaper. Lime
will also prove of benefit to grass that
may be growing in an orchard, and 1t
is destructive to certain grubs and
other orchard enemies. 1t Is best ap-
piled by plowing the orchard land and
broadcasting the lime over the sur
face.
