A Low Wagon.

| A low wagon is decided advantage
at times on the farm If the roads are
firm. With low wheeled rig a man
can go into hay field or corn field
and load the rack with half the labor
| involved with high wheels. OF course
small wheel will sink deeper into
the mud and drop into a furrow or
small depression that a large wheel
will bridge over.
The wagon illustrated Is built out
of the ordinary farm wagon with full
size wheel First, make an axle nine
and a half feet long, with skeins that
will flt your wheels. Take two tim
hers eighteen feet long, relatively as
strong as 6x8 pine Ground timbers will
answer If you have them on your
farm), hang these under the axle near
the skelns with five-eighths round iron
clips with burrs underneath. Four or
six inch blocks may be put between
the axle and timbers, which will make
them still lower. Chamfer the front
ends and bolt together, forming a tri-
angle.
Hang the front end under the front
axle by means Of a strong, short reach
bolted firmly to the timbers just behind
the circular part Of front hounds. The
king-bolt goes through the reach and
serves 10 draw the rear part, but the
weight is supported by coupling in
front OF the axle This consists of a
heavy eye bolt and large triangular
link, which is looped over the projecting
end of the reach in front of axle Gov
er the timber with tight floor eight
feet wide, as far as possible, without
interfering with the turning Of the
front wheels against the timbers. Deck
over the front wheels, resting the deck
ing on false bolster All the deck
ing is of sound inch boards, with
strip nailed under the ends of boards
to protect them.
For hay, use stakes in rear, with 2x6
bolted cross-wise, and 2x4 fastened
from top Of same to the deck to shield

FigurIng Cost of Crop.

Dr. H. c. Price Of the Ohio Agricul-
tural College has charged his farm
land with 35 cents per hour for man
and team and the market price for
the products grown, and gets the fol-
lowing results: One sixty acres of
corn yield was 1913 bushels per acre,
which cost $2039 to produce, and was
valued at $49.47. This showed clear
profit of $29.08 per acre. On clover
hay he raised 81 tons per acre on fif-
teen acres. This cost $6.33 and pro-
duced $2526, or profit of 1888 per
acre. His twelve acres Of wheat aver
aged 1929 bushels at a cost of $3.50
per acre, and with a yield of $16.52
per acre showed a profit of $263. On
oats he had a yield Of 20.7 on eight
acres. The cost was $12.13, the pro-
ceeds $12.56 and the profits 43 cents
per acre With 6.4 acres Of potatoes his
yield averaged 1913 bushels. which cost
s5767 and yielded $S4.S9, with profit
of $27.2 per acre. In his locality this
would seem 10 indicate that all crops
pay, but that corn is the most profit
able, with potatoes second and oats
with almost no profit.

the wheels. This part may be removed
when hauling commodities other than
hay. Three short posts may be set in
ground with inclined bars and the wag-
on driven or backed upon same to raise
it from the ground, when the wagon
can be changed quickly and much more
easily than the ordinary rack can be
lifted on or off. This wagon may be
used for hauling silage, corn, and, in
the absence of a spreader, for hauling
manure, having no sideboards to both.

DniryInE in Holland.


Dairying in Holland is the princi
pal occupation. The land is worth
from $500 to $1,000 an acre, yet the
people pay their rents or interest on
the investment, by producing butter
and cheese, which they place on the
European markets in successful COM
petition with that produced in Ameri-
ca on land less than one-hfth the
value. The secret is-efficient cows,
excellent care, cooperation and supe-
riority Of butter and cheese. A COW
stable in America is usually an un-
tidy, uninviting and in many cases
absolutely filthy place, where, to the
disgrace of civilization, human food
Is produced. In Holland a COW stable
is as clean and carefully cared for as
any other room in the house.

Feed Material.

The various feeding materials give
results more according to quality than
to amount provided the stock. Properly
cured corn fodder, hay that was put in
the NOW at just the right condition
and grain that is free from mold or
smut, will produce greater gain at less
cost than articles that are not of good
quality. No rule for feeding, accord
ing to weight of the animal, can be
depended upon, but the more food an
animal consumes the greater its abil-
ity to produce If the food itself is not
deficient in nutrition.

When any Spanish sovereign dies
the body is at once submitted to the
process of fossilization, nor can it be
placed in the royal pantheon until the
body has been absolutely turned into
stone. Curiously enough, the period
required for fossilization varies con
siderably. Some royal bodies have
become solidified in very short pc.
riod, while others have taken years be.

Noter Of the Farm Dairy.

The best cows are the ones that the
careful dairyman raises for himself.
The best favored butter in the world
is made in private dairies-and the
worst, too.
The silo enables the farmer to carry
more head of stock than he otherwise
could be able to do.
To produce their full milk-givins
capacity, cows should be kept as free
from disturbance as possible.
No one man can develop COW into q
high producer unless that COW had an
inherited quality Of development to
start with.
The COW with a good appetite is apt
to be the cheapest butter producer.
Cows that are "hnicky" are not apt to
ha profitable.
