All this trouble may be entirely done
away with if you take care to Sharpen

side against the grindstone and then
the other, thus making bevel on both
sides as in Fig l. But, instead of do
ing this, allow one side of the Ratchet
to lie nearly fiat on the grindstone
Then lay the other side on the stone
and put bevel on it in the ordinary

The Man That Was Snubbed
By NETTIE LEWIS

Captain Turner had- cave of absence
TO: @nree months, but he had eDoug.1
private business dow1 on Long Island
and in New York o keep him bus.r
He had purchased a country home fer
ais widowed mother, and that had to
be fixed up. There were many things
TO be bought in the city and a dozen
friends he had to look up az their
various clubs. Thus it happened that
he took the train into town almost
every day, and at night took the train
out again.
Judge Eldridge lived at the next
station below, and the Judge had
lovely daughter named Edith. She
and her father or mother often took
the train into town and back again,
but the reason that the captain did
not catch sight of her during the first
week was because Judge Eldridge
and his wife took a trip to Europe
and left her behind in the care of
Aunt Susan, the judges sister, who
had come on from Pennsylvania to
act as guardian and chaperon. Aunt
Susan was an old-fashioned woman,
with old-fashioned notions. The day
that the Judge and his wife departed
she took Miss Edith out under the
apple tree and said:
My dear, you must realize that
things have changed. Until your par
ents return you will be in my charge.
There is to be no more flirting with
the young man at the railroad station.
There is TO be no more flirting on the

was not fiirt and said she was not
lmprudent. 1t was more that the old
lady was too much of Puritan She

smooth the earth's surface, and pre-
vent ruts from forming to hold water.
The drag not only smooths the road,
but crowns it, and puddles the mud so
that it is hard when dry.
These drags have been used with
great success on clay or water-holding
soils. Many stretches of black gum
DO roads in the west are maintained by
the use of this implement alone.
Every farmer should own one, and
after rain he should spend a few
hours on the road adjacent to his farm.
II there are many depressions to fill,
the drag should be used when the road
is wet
After it has been used long enough
to make the road fairly smooth, the
drag gives the best results if used
when the earth begins to dry.

GIVE SEED MUCH ATTENTION
Importance Cannot Be Overestlmated,
as Quality Has Great Influence
on Yield of Crop.
CIV W. r tnLRERTN

This Is a subject which has received
great deal of attention from
thoughtful persons but is still very
little considered by the majority
Its importance cannot be overesti-
mated for the quality of the seed has
great influence on the yield of the
crop.
Every one likes to get bargains and
many think that bargains and low
priced articles are one and the same
thing while in the matter of seed low
prices aud bargains cannot go to-
gether.
Take. for instance. turnips When
We see one man charging twice the
price quoted by another of course the
higher priced is usually for new and
improved varieties, but we often find
difference of price for one variety.
One man may charge for seed which
only terminates 80 per cent, while
another charges half as much again
for a seed terminating so per cent,
while another charges half as much
again for seed terminating 50 per
easily be made as to the amount of
seed required, for 1t Is the low ger
mination that makes thick sowing
a necessity.
The high-priced seed is economy,
inasmuch as so many more seed ger
inmate. When the farmer knows
that termination is poor he tries to
insure a crop by thick sowing. but
there are times when he gets seeds of
poor termination without knowing 1t,
probably paying the full price for
good seed.
This should be sufficient reason for
testing seed. Considering the num-
Der of purchases Of seed each year
there are a ridiculously small num-
Der of tests made. i know of one in
stance where samples tested COM
prised all the various crops grown on
the farm. In some crops the average
OF samples was reasonably good, but
there were miserably poor samples in
practically every crop.
