only a very short back furrow unless
the field is long; and if so, the plow
can be set more shallow until the
back furrow is mahe-say two or
three rounds. Then the pillow can be
set to its uniform depth by turning
to the right. With a right-handed
plow no ground will be trampled out
and made hard on the corners, no
dead burrows will be left in the field
and a smooth, pulverized surface will
be the result The smoothing harrow
should of course follow the plow
closely to prevent sun and wind from
drying out the soil. To keep the
ground from baking, to pack the
soil, to level the surface and to make
perfect seed bed for the small seeds
about to be sown, go over the field
once or twice more with the smooth
ing harrow. After alfalfa seed has
been sown broadcast go once more
over the field with the smoothing
harrow or brush to cover the seed as
shallow as possible and then roll
down with a corrugator if there is
such thing on the place.

Berry OF good quality ever ever introduced

berry OF good quality ever introduced.
A fellow over in Montezuma county
wants to know how to make grating
wax which we supposed everybody
knew all about. A good grating
wax for outdoor work is made by the
following formula. Resin four or
five parts, beeswax one and one-half
to two parts, linseed oil one to one
and one-half parts. This is melted
may be drawn out into thin strips
and applied by wrapping it firmly
around the stock where the scion is
inserted, or a more convenient mode
of using this wax is to spread it while
melted upon thin muslin or strong
MANILA paper and when cool cut or
tear in strips of convenient width
for wrapping around the grated
stock. Another formula used for in
door and outdoor work is as follows:
Resin six pounds, beeswax one pound,
linseed oil one pint. Melt together
and when at the temperature of $50
degrees apply directly to the joints
with a small bristle brush. In order
to keep 1t at the proper consistency
the vessel containing the wax may be
placed in another vessel containing
boiling water, which may be kept at
this temperature by any convenient
application of artificial heat.
