across those on the floor and parallel
to the end piece just nailed until the
opposite end is reached.
The next move is to nail each alter
nate one of these latter laths at its
ends to the crosspieces beneath. The
last piece ~ be nailed is the thick
crosspiece at the opposite end from the
starting point. Through this each al
ternate lath below should be nailed.
All that is then necessary is to over
turn the frame. when the unnailed
pieces will drop out and leave the
shade as in the drawing.
This way Of managing is easier than
to measure the distance between laths
as each one is nailed. 1t is a good
plan to use nails one-fourth or one-half
inch longer than will go through the
wood and to clinch the ends by bend
ing them over by blows with a ham
mer. To do this the frame must be
turned over and placed ON an anvil, a
bench or some other solid body.-Or-

THE GERMAN FARMER.

His Interests Carefully Looked After
by His Government.
The interests Of the farmer are as
carefully conserved in Germany as
those Of the city dweller, for the farm
er is most important factor in pre-
paredness. The German government
has paid out hundreds of millions Of
dollars in subsidies for the farmer. 1t
has subsidized an army of chemists to
increase the fertility of his fields. A
model system of inland waterways,
run in collaboration with the railways,
assures him cheap transportation. In
times of stress special railroad rates
are granted to save him from disaster.
Expert personal advice is furnished
for his smallest problems. and care is
taken to insure ready market for his
products. Cooperative associations pro-
vide for the small farmer the most
modern machinery at a moderate rent
al. If he has to borrow money on
mortgage or to make a short term
loan to get in his crop a system of
land bank associations assures him
easy terms. He pays between 3 and 4
per cent for his money on mortgage
and about per cent on short loans.
The American farmer who can OBJ
tain money at double the German rate
Is lucky. We permit chaotic system
of distribution whereby the farmer
gets only third Of the value of his
product. the rest being swallowed up
in transportation charges and by the
numerous middlemen.
The result is that while Germany
has doubled cher agricultural produc-
ton in twenty years. with virtually no
increase in acreage. we have been de-
clining steadily to agricultural unpre-
paredness. The German farmers acre
of wornout soil has been made to
yield twice the product of our young
fleld.-Century Magazine.

A Safe Experiment

A Boston wool buyer who was
in Idaho not long ago is impressed
with the idea that the small farm
flock is the thing. He knows
that if all farmers had a few
sheep the quantity of wool pro-
duced would be larger than it
ever was in the palmiest range
days. At the same time, he is
Aconvinced of something which is
feven more to the point-that it
would be very profitable for the
farmer.
In this we agree with him.
While we would be the last to
make prediction as to future
prices on wool, we think it will
be maintained at a renumerative
level for a long time to come.
Even though prices go lower
than they have been, the aver
age farmer may raise a small
flock with profit. Sheep cost
little to maintain, and both wool
and mutton find a ready market.
They help clean up weeds, too,
and distribute manure without
waste, building up the soil from
which they get their living. -

18th Shades In Plant Growing.

1t is often necessary to shade seed
lings and small or delicate plants from
sun and wind. Among the best de-
vices is a shade made from laths. as
shown herewith. Preferably the out
side pieces are thicker than ordinary
laths. so as to hold the nails well and
to prevent splitting. The easiest way
to make such shades is to place the
laths on a smooth, level floor, touching
each other and with the frame pieces
on the outsides. Then the first cross
piece at one end is laid on the laths
and nails are driven through each al
ternate lath. Then laths are laid,
