resolve to thump the sissy boy as

DEVICE FOR FILLING SACKS
Man When Bags Are to Be Filled
with Grain, Flour, Etc.

In filling bags with grain, -four,
cement, etc, it has been found impos-
sible for one man to do the work
tecond laborer is required to hold open
the mouth of the bag, while the other
does the filling. The necessity of the
extra laborer is eliminated in the sack
alling apparatus shown here, the in
vention of a Washington man. This
apparatus was designed primarily to
provide a device by which bags could
be quickly and economically filled by
one man A hopper is provided, to
which pulley is attached at one end.
At the front are the frames for sup
porting the bags after the latter have
been fastened in position. The grain
or other article to be placed in the
bags is shoveled into the hopper, from
which it drops by gravity into the
bags. AS the grain descends the bags
are shaken at regular intervals by an
arrangement attached to the pulley
The bags are in this way automatically
lifted off the grund a trifle at each
turn of the pulley, allowing the grain
to settle, filling the bags TO their ut

Beauty the Farm.

Why should not our farm homes be
places to be made beautiful as well as
places to accumulate dollars? The
continual emphasis of the bread and
butter side of life to the neglect OF
that which makes real life is dwarf
ing to the best in every man or WON
an. 1t does not require the expendi
ture of so much time and money as
thought and care to fill our homes
with an atmosphere of beauty. One
good copy of real work of art q
Corot of Millet, often costs no more
than one that is merely bad mixture
of colors or sentimental face and
will be worth a dozen such in the cul
tivation of taste and love for what
is really worth the name of art.

Varieties Of Corn.

AS to the variety of corn to use, that
will depend somewhat on location, soil
and the purpose for which it is de
sired, says a writer in Baltimore
American. We have found Boone coun
ty white an excellent variety for grain
and we think Virginia ensilage OF
early leaning well adapted for use in
the silo. The leaning is also an excel
lent variety for grain. Virginia golden
dent has also given us good satisfac
ton when grown for grain. Cooke &
prolific can be grown where two OF
more medium-sfzed ears are designed
per stalk. On medium land we have
found Hickory King an excellent yield
err, better in proportion than some
others.

Farm Notes.

Alfalfa ought to be grown where you
can know about It,
The proper use Of your time will
produce a good farmer
Many farmers do not seem to I'M
derstand the advantages of ventila-
ton.
one-crop country is generally n
poor country, especially for the small
farmer.
Every man who owns farm is a
trustee for the nation for his small
property
With large machines the work of
husking and shredding corn is usually
custom work.
The price of broomcorn f1uctuates
rapidly. and sometimes unaccountably
between the margins of profit and
loss
Forget that potatoes were ever
planted in hills: level culture is much
better. Plant the tubers in deep fur
rows
The shifting from wheat to corn
in some of what have been regarded
as especially wheat counties is very
noticeable
Well-rotted manure is all right in
It's place, but it has very little place
on farm; the process of rotting it is
too wasteful, whatever the process
may be.
practical rotation is to plant COW.
peas in wheat or oats stubble, pillow
the crop down before heavy frost
in the fall, and follow with corn the
next year
Do not follow your grandfather
custom of planting beets. lettuce, on
ions and such vegetables In raised
beds. They dry out too quickly, as
we'll as being difficult to cultivate.
Farmers in all sections are pretty
well aroused over the necessity OF
better seed wheat and corn. The
same enthusiasm should enter into
the improvement of farm animals.
1t is not an easy matter to cure COW
pea hay; the vines, being so large
cure slowly, and with unfavorable
weather the hay is apt to be badly in

Childish Inference.

Little Julia was taking her after
noon walk with her mother. Her at
tention was attracted for the first time
to large church edifice on one OF the
street corners.
"Oh. mother!" she exclaimed,
whose nice big house is that?"
THAT, Julia, is Gods house." ex-
planned the mother.
Some time later 1t happened that
the child was again taken by the
church, this time on Sunday evening
when services were in progress.
Julia, noticing the brilliantly lighted
windows, drew her own conclusions.
ooh, look, mother" she called out.
God must be having party"

whiskey; Take tablespoonful be-

Any druggist has these ingredients
in stock or will quickly get them from
his wholesale house. Good results are
felt from this treatment after the first
few doses but it should be continued

WaQes of the Farmer.

You watch the hired man closely, but
how about your own time? What
would your work be worth the past
year If done for some one else? The
busy planting and harvest seasons

about the rest OF the time? Taking

Quality Not Quantity.

Prof. Creelman of the University of
Maine says in agriculture it is not
bigger farms, but better farmers; not
the new varieties in crops and poul-
try, but better culture and better
strains; not bigger and better imple-
ments, but better handling of those
we have: not more expensive barns,
but more sanitary; not more cows, but
better ones.
