Making Over Goods.

When making over u cloth suit,
remember that nothing frcshens it
up 50 much is to thoroughly sponge
each piece separately. Saturate Il
piece of muslin in warm water, then
roll the muslin and the cloth to-
gcther and allow them to remain
thus for several hours, being careful
to place the damp muslin on the
wrong side of the material. then
carefully press the goods, being care
full to run the iron along the thread.
keeping it perfectly straight; it
ironed across. it is apt to he pulled
out of shape. When ripping, see
that every particle of thread is pulled
from the seam. and good plan is to
dampen the marks of the seam and
run the iron over it on the wrong
side, thus taking out the marks of
the stitches. These are very diff
cult to remove. and the iron should
touch only the wrong side of the
cloth. If the new garment is in
tended for the school girl. livcn it by
some suitable trimming. Give it Il
distinctive appearance and disguise
the fact that it is madc-over.

Vast Canvas to Cover Spokane's Apple Show

Three and half acres of grouud.

be one of the novel means employed
to house displays aggregating 1000. :
600 specimens of the king nf fruits,
gathered together from the various
districts in the United States and
Canada, Europe and the Orient. at
the second national apple show in
Spokane, Nov. ID to 20.
This vast cXpanSe of canvas. 225
by 3lO feet. will be supported by
center, half and quartcr-polcS. sur
mounted with the flags and pennants
of all nations. while the interior will
be- decorated with the national colors
and emblems. bunting and lights.
Gravel and tanbark will compose the
floor. and in this will be embedded
steam pipes to protect the fruit
against froStS. thus providing Il
structure that is not only novel. but
also an experiment in construction
for exposition purposes.
In addition to the tent area, which
will have wooden side walls y feet

the Washington State armory, which
is l20 by 100 feet and three stories
high. thus approximately 100000
square feet of floor space.

NHE methods OF farming followed
today are made possible only
hX the uSA IL mnlrrn Ia nhnr

10y the use of modern labor
saving aInachinery. The farm
hand "f today needs brains more thun
muscles. The ability tu handle COM
plicaied machine successfully Is more
valuable than the power to do a hard
days manual labor
With the coming Of improved ma
chlnery the problem OF what to buy
and what To get along without has be-
come II serious one. The farmer has
more money tied up in machinery than
In any one thing besides his land
Having too much machinery Is nearly
as bad rs having too little. What Is
needed Is Il wise selecIian.
1t is always well to do II little hgur
ing bef. re buying II new machine. Di-
vid!ng the cost of the implement by
the number Of years II may be REASON
ably expected To last will give the
amount that must be charged to de-
probation each year Add to this an
allowance for repairs. storage ard
each years share Of the interest. and
you will have the yearly cost of the
machine. \ little further figuring will
show whether the benefit received
from 1t IN year will warrant this
cost.
Machinery may be roughly divided
into five classes-tillage. planting. hay
ing. harvesting and miscellaneous. OF
the many tillage implements there are
some that are absolutely necessary on
any farm. Among these are the plows.
For the farmer on a. quarter section n
sixteen inch riding plow will be all
that Is needed for the field work. In
addition 1t may be we'll to have n
cheap walking plOw for plowing the
garden. turning out potatoes and for
use in case OF an emergency A gang
plOw requires too many horses to be
practicable on the average 16O acre
farm. On larger farms, where plenty
Of horses are available. a gang plow
will save the time Of an extra man. 1t
Is good plan to have the plow sup
piled with two or three mOldboards
OF different SlantS. 4 steep mold
board pulverizes the soil more and for
this reason is good thing to use OH
stubble land. On clover sod. however.
q longer mOldboard should be used in
order to lessen the draft.
One Of the most important tillage
implements is the disk. No other ma
chine will pulverize the soil so quick
ly or thoroughly. The use Of n tongue
truck-a small two wheeled arrange
ment-under the rear end of the
tongue Is OF considerable advantage
In taking the weight Off the horses
nccks. Solid wheel disks pulverize
the ground more thoroughly than
spaders or cutnways.
A good harrow Is necessity on any
farm. The flexible type is best for all
conditions. as 1t gets down into the
hollows and rides over trash better
than Will a solid frame harrow.
Spring tooth harrOws. rollers and
weeders all have their special uses,
but can hardly be said to be neces-
sary on the average quarter section.
Next In order come the cultivators,
and there are 30 many styles Of these
that choosing is Il difficult matter. The
most important part Of the cultivator
is the shOvels. A happy medium is
struck In the six shovel type. The
shovels on this can be run deep

Garden Notes.

Where nitrate Of soda is used it
should always be covered with soil.
To raise early bects make little
trench beside each row and scatter in
Il little nitrate of soda and cover It,
If you want early squashcS or pie
pumpkins, work into the soil around
each vine handful of hen manure.
The best crop to follow early peas
is squaShcS. Peas add nitrogen to
the soil, and this must hr present in
order TO raise good crop.
To raise early cabbage begin when
the plants are small and scatter
arouud each Il little nitrate of soda,
and repeat every two weeks.
If YOU want ripe tomatoes early
make the ground rich with fine barn
ward and hen manure When you set
out the plants cut of ali the lower
branches and work into the soil
around each a tcaspoonful of nitrate
of soda, and repeat every ten days.

the most complicated machine on the
farm and the one most likely to get
out OF order. In buying binder SIM
plicity Of construction, ease OF adjust
ment and hardness of oiling are i'm
portant points to look after. A tongue
truck is an attachment that should go
with every binder. This is the only
means Of eliminating side draft that
has yet been discovered. 4 tongue
truck is rather expensive. but SO are
ut harvest time.
Where much stock Is kept the corn
binder Is necessary implement. By
cutting large share of the corn and
using 1t as fodder or silage much feed
Is saved that would otherwise be vast
ell. About 40 per cent Of the entire
feeding value of the corn plant is In
the stalk. When these are left stand
ing IN the field the greater part of this
feed Is wasted. The shocked fodder
may proftably be run through shred
der before feeding. This will husk the
corn and leave the stalks IN the best
shape to be fed or used for bedding.
One Of the most important of the
miscellaneous implements Is the wind
mill. No farmer can afford to pump
water for his stock by hand when the
wind will do 1t for nothing after the
mill has once been put up. In erecting
windmill be sure that 1t Is put on
high enough tower so that surround

four and considerably cheaper.

gine. The original cost of these en-
gincs is reasonable. and the amount
required for fuel and repairs Is small

enough to have any to saw. run the
silage cutter. grindstone. separator,
churn and washing machine. 1t may
also replace the windmill as source
OF power for pumping.
In selecting gasoline engine be
sure to get one large enough to do the
required work easily. remembering Mt
the same time that where much light
work IS to be done a small engine
Will do 1t with much less gasoline
than will be used by large one.
This objection to Il large engine can
be overcome to a large extent by SO
arranging the work that several light
machines may be run at the same
time. The most reliable type Of en-
gine is the four cycle. In which there
are two revolutions Of the fywheel to
one explosion. The water system Of
cooling IS the most efficient. though
air cooled engines are all right for
light work.
Another necessary machine of the
stock farm is the manure spreader.
Not only does this save n great deal
Of work, but it also applies the ma
nure more evenly and will cover a
greater amount Of ground with q CIV
