HOW TO USE A HOE

So many people have a horror of
using a hoe 1t is the most comforta-
Bile implement to be found in the
equipment of a gardener or farmer
II Is so handy to use for SO many pur
poses that one cannot get along with
out it.
Probably one reason that people do
not like a hoe is that most hoes ex-
plain at once how dull as hoe" came
into proverbial use.
A dull hoe is certainly not a pleasant
implement with which to work The
good gardener will keep his favorite
hoe filed to sharp edge all the time
1t is impossible to grind a hoe on a
grindstone because the level must be
on the upper side of the blade when
it is in use, in order to make the hoe
bite into the soil
File your hoe. making the bevel
about twice as wide as the thickness
of the blade Then keep it bright.
and when you so out after weeds the
hoe slips through the soil so easily
that hoeing is not much like hard
work
In hoeing. a long, slow movement
should be made, If the soil Is in good
condition. Simply Scouting half an
inch of the top soil is enough to kill
weeds, and one can go over lot OF
ground in one day if the hoe is sharp
and bright and the strokes long and
smooth.
In choosing a hoe. select one the
blade of which lies not quite fiat on
the floor when you are standing erect
with the hoe handle extending from
yoar hands when in working position
to the floor The heel of the hoe
should not quite touch the floor from
this position
With sharp hoe one can cut this
ties. dock. dandelions and other nox-
ious weeds with quickness. dispatch
and ease 1t is light 70 handle easy
TO use and more effective than any
other implement for many purposes.

The economical use of straw in
such combinations rs these will also en-
able farmers in the western states to
purchase their feeder cattle in the fall
and carry them through the winter
without undue expense. The prices
for feeder cattle are frequently 50
much lower in the fall that if the cost
Of wintering can be kept down, it will
prove profitable TO secure stock at that
time instead of in the spring. As
matter of fact. in a number Of western
states it frequently happens that grass
is wasted because cattlemen are un-
willing to purchase enough steers to
consume it at the high prices FREE
quently asked in the spring An easy
way to avoid this waste and to secure
the maximum returns from available
pastures is To purchase the feeding
herd in the fall and carry it through
the winter on a ration in which straw
plays an important part.

up large commerce between the
United States and Japan, and it has
steadily grown since the present war,
since we have been unable to buy in
European markets many supplies
formerly obtained there. With both
countries prosperous, our buying has
led to return buying in silks and many
othe PARTICLES on the part of the United
States. Our own foreign commerce,
export and import, reached an average
of seven hundred million dollars yearly
before the war and I expect it is bet
ter now.
1T has been stated we want the
Philippine Islands. 1t is far better for
Japan to have the United States de-
velop those islands. She is able to
spend the money needed to do it and
we are not, and it is fine thing for us
