DIG HOLES BY HORSE POWER
BY Use Of Soil Anger Farmer Is En-
abIed TO Avoio Much Manual La
Dor and Twisting of Back.

A soil auger by means of which the
farmer may make mis- horse do the
heavy work OF post-hole digging, IN
stead of twisting his own arm and
back muscles, is here shown. The out
fit is simple to operate The horse
pulls a rope through a grooved pulley,
this action revolving the auger. All
the auger operator has to do is to
press downward on the handles. When
the auger is full the horse is stopped
and the earth shaken out. This is re-
peated until the hole is of the desired
depth. From 35 to As feet of rope is
pulled out to complete a three-foot
hole, nine inches in diameter In max
ing the first hole, stake is driven
into the ground to fasten the anchor
cable to. After the first hole is bored,
an anchor post is used, the anchor
cable serving to measure the distance
from hole to hole, as well as to keep
the auger upright during the boring.

GIVE HARNESS BEST OF CARE
When Placed Just Behind Work Team
Leather Becomes Brittle and Some
times Breaks Very Easily.

Many farmers hang their harness
in the barn just behind the work team
SO that it Will be handy when wanted.
Of course it is convenient and can be
thrown onto the backs of the horses
in few minutes, but there is a con-
siderable loss in hanging the harness
at the back end of the stall.
There is a constant passing off of
ammonia from the manure behind the
harness and this has a bad effect on
the leather of the harness. This is
the reason why a harness that is al
lowed to nang in stalls cracks and
dries out, becomes brittle and some-
times breaks very easily. One would
have to keep the leather thoroughly
soaked with oil to prevent injury rom
the action of the ammonia.
Then there is danger of harness be-
ing thrown down into the manure OF
the stable by the constant passing OF
the horses from the lot into the stalls.
When it is thrown down ana tramped
into the manure it is filthy to handle
ana is injured by the action of the
damp manure.
Inc pest san IS to have room in
the barn In which TO hang the har-
ness. 1t is even better to hang it in
the hallway than over the manure.
The room need not be large. Every
tElng in 1t may easily be kept in
proper order, and ali repair material
should also be located here. This
room should be free from mice and
rats, for these rodents are destructive
to leather.

SWEETEN SOIL FOR ALFALFA
Sourness Can Be Corrected by Appll-
cation Of Air-Slaked Lime-Test
With Litmus Paper.

Alfalfa will not do wen on sour or
acid soil. Before growing alfalfa, the
soil should be tested with blue litmus
paper, which can be secured from
druggist. Take a handful of moist
ened earth from a few inches beneath
the surface OF the ground and press
into bail. Break this mud Dan in
to halves and place'a strip OF blue lit
mus on one of the lalyes and cover
with the other. After I'VE minutes ex.
anime the litnus paper, and If it mas
changed color from blue to a distinct
pink or becomes spotted with pink
spots, the soil is acid and needs lime
for successful alfalfa growing.
On sour soils from two to four tons
of air-slaked lime or ground lime
stone rock or mari or rme refuse
should be applied. Whatever form IS
used II should always be app len TO
the surface OF plowed land ana mar.
rowed or disked II. 1t may De put
on IN the fan or early spring-prior
to seeding the alfalfa. Lime distribu.
tors are desirable when large areas
are lined, put with small acreage it
can be conveniently spread with
shovel.

Johnson Wins Again

Johnson High School added an
other victory Saturday. when she
defeated Enosburg High 12-2.
Though the cold wind made the side
hill on Waterman Field an unpleas-
ant place, about a hundred loyal
supporters lived it through. The
game was not interesting, and was
replete with loose playing. Gonya
pitched for Johnson, allowing five
hits, all scattered, but the team,
realizing that they did not need to
work, did not support him at all
well. We are hoping that Essex
Junction High School, which comes
here next Saturday will prove a
more dangerous team.

considerably better than the rest of
