lots, but they are often made SO that
they can be transported from one part
Of the farm to another. When q chute
of this kind is built heavy and strong
enough to support the weight OF ma
ture. hog or 4 large calf it becomes a
clumsy thing to move. r. ]. Linscott
Of Holton. Kan, has solved this prob
lem Of Inconvenience in q very happy
way. according to the Kansas Farmer.
The wheels and axle used are parts Of
old machinery found on the farm, the
wheels being taken from an old now
er. The upper end Of the chute is pro-
vided with two strong iron hooks,
which are sharpened so as to engage
the bottom Of the wagon bed and pre-
vent slipping after the animal starts
upward. With such an arrangement
there is no difficulty In building q
chute Of ample strength, because the
question Of weight has relatively little
importance. The chute can be hooked
on behind the wagon and hauled to
any part Of the farm, and 1t is a COM
paratively easy matter to put it in po-
sition by hand.

an admiration for the farm.

IN HAVING TIME.

Run the mower under cover every
day after you have done with 1t.
When the sky gets streaked, streak
It for the barn with all the hay you
have out.
Don't cut your meadows too close.
Leave at least two inches Of stubble.
The best place for the horse rake
when not In use is away from sun
shine, dew and rain.
Keep the mower knives and the
scythes all sharp. Save your own
strength and that Of the horses.
Hay left on the wagon overnight
pitches of quite a good deal harder.
Get it Off the same night If you can.
Rake the scatterings close every day.
Left out. they are not worth a great
deal. Even a little moisture hurts
them.
Clover and timothy cut when In
blossom make the best hay. The cat
tie think so, too, and that is why they
never leave any Of it in the manger.
Look out and do not get too big a
mouthful. The machines Of our day
cut grass fast, and it takes time to
cure it and get it up. Be moderate
about moving.

fields at night. Then II you wake up

however. to see that the Irvine that
holds the clota is not so tight as to CIR
die the newly set scions. After the
scions have become firmly established
the cloth may be removed.
The scions will continue to increase
in size, and as they approach each 9th
er the union OF one scion to the other
may be accomplished by shaving the
sides of the scions. Ia time the whole
girdled area may be entirely healed
over in this way.
In some cases bridge grating will
not be necessary. II the inner bark
has not been removed by the rabbits
the tree may be saved by Immediately
protecting the girdled area before 1t has
had time to dry out by wrapping with
cloth which has been treated with
grating wax. The inner bark will
then form an outer bark without seri-
Gus injury. Where it can be used this
method is better than bridge grating.
Trees on which the bark has been re-
moved along the sides and not entire
" around the trunk will be benefited
by painting the wound. Before this
is done, however. the rough edges OF
the bark should be removed SO as to
facilitate healing.

MAKING WAR ON THE RAT.

Government Advises Farmers - Uso
Concrete In Building Censtruction.
The United States department Of
agriculture. discussing the extermina-
ton OF rats, strongly advocates the
using OF concrete for the construction
Of every class Of building. The i'm
portance of this precautton cannot be
overestimated. When tho immense
loss caused annually by these vermin
Is considered the need of stopping their
depredations Is more clearly realized
1t has been repeatedly stated on good
authority that every rat In the coun-
try causes an annual property loss Of
over 81. The total cost of this pest to
the country will never be known, as
their number cannot be even roughly
estimated. The department Of agri-
culture says:
1.-THE best way to keep rats from
buildings, whether in the city or in
the country, is by the use of cement
construction. In constructing dwell
ing houses the additional cost OF max
ing the foundations rat proof is slight
as compared with the advantages. The
cellar walls should have concrete foot
ings, and the walls themselves should
be laid In cement mortar. The cellar
floor should be Of medium rather than
lean concrete, and all water and drain
pipes should be surrounded with con-
crete.
"Rat holes may be permanently
closed with a mixture Of cement, sand
and broken glass or sharp bits Of
crockery or stone. The space between
the sheathing and lath to the height
of about a foot should be filed with
concrete.
'Granaries, corncribs and poultry
houses may be made rat proof by q
liberal use Of concrete in the founda-
tons and floors. For rat proof crib a
well drained site should be chosen.
The outer walls, laid in cement, should
be sunk about twenty inches into the
ground. The space within the walls
should be thoroughly grouted with CO.
ment and broken stone and finished
with rich concrete for a floor. Upon
this the structure may be built. Even
the walls of the crib may be of con-
crete. Corn will not mold in contact
with them provided there is good ven
tilation and the roof Is water tight"
