Protected Hay Entrance.

For convenience in drawing hay into
the barn the porch shown herewith
will be found very satisfactory. The
boom from which the hayfork tackle
is suspended extends all the way out
to the gable end Of the porch. Con-
venient dimensions for this porch are
ten feet each way. This will enable
the very largest forkful Of hay to be
taken In without choking the entrance.
As shown, the porch should be
closed with a door hung from hinges

who wouldn't have time to enjoy one;
the man who would like one all right,

orders. Before long there will not be
enough pedestrians left to furnish sport
for the drivers.-Puck

ding outfit may be made of an ordi-
nary pasteboard box, sufficiently large
to be placed over small hand lamp
after the ends have been removed. The
box should have hole cut In it on
level with the flame of the lamp. Sew
eral notches should be cut in the edges
on which the box rests to supply air
to the lamp. The box ought to be suf-
flciently large to prevent danger from
catching fire. The box should be made
Of corrugated pasteboard, but ordinary
pasteboard will serve the purpose. Can
ding Is done In the dark, or at least
away from strong light, and the egg Is
held against the hole In the side of the
box, when its condition may be seen.
An egg that shows any defect should
not be marketed.

SAVE THE WATER.
Keep the Soil Supplied With Humus
and Mulch the Surface.


By saving the water from the early
rains crops will not suffer as much
later In the summer If drought occurs.
Usually more water is lost from the
soil by evaporation-that is, drying out
from the surface, than crops use.
There are two chief ways of helping
to prevent this-namely, by keeping
the soil we'll supplied with organic
matter, or humus, and by maintaining
a soil mulch over the surface. This
soil mulch or layer Of loose dry soil
forms a blanket, preventing the soil
water from reaching the surface where
evaporation is so rapid In hot or windy
weather.
Every gardener should start water
saving at once If the newly plowed
land is disked thoroughly the same
day 1t is turned over there is less
chance Of the burrows drying out badly
before the land is planted. Newly
spaded land should be raked over the
same day the soil is turned.
After planting the use of a weeder
weeds. The cultivator ought to be
started as soon as the rows can be seen
and used often enough to keep the sur
face fine, loose and dry.
Every rain or shower packs the sur
face soil, and unless broken up evap-
grafton Is very rapid from this COM
pact, moist surface. AS soon as the
fields can be worked after a rain the
cultivator should be used to re-estab-
lish the soil mulch. This frequent cul-
tivation not only saves water for plant
use, but also is an aid to plant growth
and q benefit to the soil.
Never be satisfied with cultivating
enough to kill the weeds. Cultivate
often enough to maintain throughout
the season loose, dry layer of soil at
the surface. Start a soil mulch now
and maintain it all summer 1t pays,
for 1t means more water for the crops
to use.

Selection of Good Seed Corn.


Demonstration work with corn con-
Quoted at the New Jersey station has
clearly shown the value Of securing
good seed During the past two years
the seed has been the cause of differ
ence In yield Of five to twenty bushels
an acre and even more in several tests.
The first point to consider in select
Ing seed corn Is maturity. AS corn
must be acclimated to a region before
the best results can be obtained, 1t Is
not wise to use seed from another To-
cality, even that grown in another Sec
ton Of the state. 1t is better to secure
seed from a neighbor producing the
best corn In the community.
It Is difficult In New Jersey to pro-
duce good seed corn because each
farmer produces a different variety or
different strain Of the same variety.
Another important factor In selection
Is pure strain. This may easily be
determined by the color of each ear
and the color of individual grains In
each ear Other points to be consid-
cred are size and shape Of the ear,
straightness Of rows, length Of kernel.
variety Of kernel as shown by the germ
and color Of cob.
