GRAIN BAGGER
is CONVENIENT
BY n. II. MUSSELMAN, instructor in
Farm Mechanics.

A cut is presented herewith Of a
convenient Dagger which may be cas-
lily constructed by one at all familiar
with the hammer and saw. The adj
vantage Of its use will be appreciated
by the man who is obliged to fill bags
with grain and without assistance.
The Dagger is designed to be hung
up at any convenient place on the wall
or bin where screws, nails or spikes
may be driven. The Dagger may also
be moved from one place to another.
Another feature Of the bag-holding at
tachment is that 1t will not tear the
bags. In many schemes of this kind
the bags are held by wire hooks, by
which the bags are very likely to be
torn, particularly If any considerable
weight comes upon them, as for in
stance when a short bag is used, or
when the bag happens to be hung
rather high. In attaching the bag to
the holder 1t is opened and caught
over the four points. The right hand
still holding the top Of the bag is
brought over the knob from below,
hooking one thickness of the bag over
the knob. The bag is then drawn taut

l lowered my rife, and our troop
was soon in friendly touch with the
natives. The chief asked what we
were seeking In the swamps and We
told him that We were looking for the
missing Boer trekkers. He told me
that he hCd heard of their settlement
In the country to the northwest be-
yond the swamps and would put us on
the way to them. After resting for
few hours, the chief and his follow
ers led us across the marshes by
paths which we travelled for little
more than a week until we came out
into an open country where the
kopjes were sticking up stiffy like the
horns of a young koodoo.
We had hardly reached firm land
when our soldiers fell sick. The only
one OF tho company of mistaken spirit
was the priest OF the troop. q little
gray-headed man who was constantly
praying, with undlmmed faith in Gods
help, while the men groaned and raved
in the delirium of fever We made
hammocks of grass and bamboo poles
and natives of the country agreed to
carry our sick men for few of our
cartridges.
From the day that we left the
swamps a string of graves stretched
behind us. One after another of the
little troopers fell out of the ranks.
At length we passed the ridge
which was pointed out to US as the
last to be crossed before reaching the

Indications of Cropping Values.
The possible cropping value OF thess
lands is indicated by the original veg
citation which they are supporting or
have supported.
/. Nearly all of these sands origi-
nally covered by hard wood, such as
maple, oak, beech, elm, ETC., can be
depended upon to produce fair to good
crops.
2. Areas which originally supported
good growths Of white pine usually
prove reasonably productive, and for
some crops, such as potatoes and clo-
yer, quite productive.
8. Areas originally covered with
Norway pines are uncertain.
4. Areas originally covered with
Jack pine can rarely be depended upon
for profitable crops. and never under
ordinary methods Of soil management.
5. Where the original forest vegeta-
ton has been removed the productive
ness OF these soils is indicated by the
density of the growth OF grass. shrubs,
brakes and other plants which occupy
the ground.
1t sometimes happens that the pro-
spective purchaser of wild lands may
form a fair estimate of the cropping
value by observing the crops growing
upon nearby cultivated areas having
the same formation.

VALUE OF SANDY
SOILS EXPLAINED
BY J. A. JEFFERY, Professor Of Soils,
Michigan Agricultural College.

At the present time considerable
areas Of sandy soil are being offered
for sale in Michigan. These soils
range from the coarser dune sands to
the finer Miami fine sands. The great
er part Of the soils offered for sale
are properly embraced under what is
known as Miami sands.
The dune sands possess little or no
agricultural value.
The Miami sands vary from soils
that possess much intrinsic agricultu-
raj value to soils that can never be
proftably productive under ordinary
methods Of management.
Intrinsic Value.
The value Of Miami sand will de-
pend chiefly upon four things:
1. It's origin-Whether made up
largely of material produced from the
breaking down of granite rocks and
other rocks rich in plant food constt-
uents, or whether made up of material
chiefly silicious-pure quartz.
2. Upon the fineness of the mate
rlal-The finer the material the great
or is its water-holding capacity and
the greater. also, the amounts of plant
foods which it will give up for the use
Of the plant.
3. The subsoil-The finer the sub
soil the more valuable are these lands
for cropping purposes. 1t is not an
uncommon thing to find areas OF these
Miami sands so coarse In appearance
as to cause the observer to wonder
at the excellent crops which they pro-
duce. The secret is found usually IL
an underlying subsoil Of clay located
Is to go inches below the surface and
having a depth of few to several
feet. This subsoil Of clay is of value
that: (a) IL acts as reservoir to
hold the water In the soil above, and
In itself, which otherwise would disap-
pear downward by gravity. and CD In
that when close enough to the surface
the roots Of the growing crop above
find their way into the clay itself. and

Got His Answer.

When Oscar Wilde came to the
United States to lecture on aesthet-
les in his highly aesthetic velvet cos
tume-and incidentally to prepare the
public mind for the proper apprecia-
ton Of Gilbert and Sullivan's PA
tience," in which the aesthetic move
ment was held up to ridicule-he used
to complain that America was very Nm
interesting since it had mo antiqui
ties and no curiosities." But he ven
tured on this disparagement once too
often, for in the course Of his travels
he uttered 1t to the American Girl.
and she replied with the demure de-
pravity of candid innocence that this
was not quite a fair reproach, since
Eve shall have the antiquities IN
time, and we are already importing
the curiosities."

Wheat as a Food for Horses.

Concerning wheat as a horse food
Shepperd Of North Dakota writes: 1T
was with difficulty that they (the
horses) were kept from getting off
feed and otherwise deranged In di-
gestion, when fed this ration of pure
wheat. A large proportion Of the
kernels were passed through the ali.
mentary tract unbroken, while other
grains were broken but only partly d.
gested. The test demonstrated
clearly that 1t is not advisable to use
wheat alone as n grain ration for
horses, and the less expert the feed,
er the greater the risk"
