The skids G are made of by Ia inch

The braces are 2 by 6's and should be

mast to lean over towards the stack SO
the load will carry itself to any place

Arrangement of Poultry Yard.

The poultry yard should be so ar
ranged that half of it could be planted
to cultivated crop each year This
would not only save the droppings
falling upon the ground during the
day, but it would keep the grounds
immensely cleaner, and fewer cases
of gapes and cholera would occur
The drcppings that fall upon the
ground during the day on the open
range are not wasted, as they are
taken up by the growing crops

John Burroughs is well known as
one of the foremost of nature writer's
in this country Some time ago he
visited his brother. Eden Burroughs,
who lives in the Catskills, at a place
called Hobart. The two brothers went
fox hunting together. The honor of
the hunt came to Eden. who shot the
only fox. 1t SO happened that fox
skins were worth five dollars at that
time, and the successful Nimrod took
much pride in telling how he got the
better of the sage Of Slabsides. Later.

ChiId's Fear of the Dark.

If mothers notice that the brains of
their little ones conjure up uncanny
sights and thoughts from the shadows
of room more or less dark, let the
light burn brightly. To force a child
to become accustomed TO the darkness
is grave error, if it's nervous system
is SO organized that this forcing is
productive of fright.
The nervous system of child is a
very susceptible organization and the
deleteNous impressions made upon it
will often make their influence felt
throughout it's whole after life. If the
child asks for light under such cir.
cumstances do not refuse it.

Cultivating Potatoes Late.

The Virginia truck experiment sta
ton has found that the best results
in growing potatoes are obtained
where the soil is kept level during
the earlier civilizations, but as the
season advances earth may be worked
toward the vines by means of winged
cultivators in order to keep the tubers
thoroughly covered and free from sun
scald.
tinue cultivation as late in the season
as possible. Many eastern Virginia
growers do not stop cultivators until
two or three weeks before digging is
started

Helps for Peas and Beans.

Peas and beans are checked in theit
early growth when grown on soils
deficient in nitrogen and are benefited
by applications of heterogeneous fer
tilizers. Sodium nitrate is better
adapted to top-dressing than ammo
mum sulphate on account of it's quick
action. Sodium nitrate is easily
washed into the subsoil, whereas the
ammonium sulphate is more firmly
held in the soil. The continued ap-
plication of sodium nitrate tends te
form crusts on the soil.

furnish seed for quite a patch next
year One bushel of seed oats would
furnish enough seed for a number of
acres the next year.
This would give the seed an oppor-
tunity to become better acclimated
and he could select the best seeds for
home use, which is an opportunity that
seldom comes to a farmer who buys
seed from the seedmen who sell it
from the general crop which is raised
by farmers especially for them
Then there is always an opportun-
ity for a farmer to sell choice seed
oats, corn or potatoes to his nearby
friends for better price than his gen
eral crops will bring. The time is
coming when good seed will be better
appreciated by farmers.

Save all the manure and apply it
