REST FOR EYES AND BACK
Little "kink" That Some Lovers Of
Embroidery Work May Not Have

There are not many devotees of the
embroidery needle whose eyes and
back do not grow weary, after work
Ing more than just SO long. Yet at
times. when 1t Is imperative or desir-
able that little more be accomplished,
In order to finish the piece in hand at
the time required, there Is very
definite relief to be found in certain
change. Of position. When the sight
and back muscles begin to tire try
taking good plump pillow-one with
"a smooth cover--intO the lap, and al
low the elbows to rest on 1t slightly.
The altered position will be found to
relieve the muscles Of the body, and
the change Of focus will rest the eyes
at the same time. This latter "kink"
Is not sufficiently well known among
those having rather sensitive eyesight.
Today 1t is recommended by special
lists that those who have to do near"
work should exercise the eyes between
times by looking intently at objects as
far away as possible. and certain
young craftsman asserts that moving
pictures actually rest his eyes after
a days work "over the board" on &C.

SPREAD BARN MANURE DAILY
Under Best OF Circumstances Some
Loss 10 Sure to Occur--Work
Into Soil by Diskino.

Much loss Of plant food occurs every
year from loss Of manure Those who
feed in pastures of course lose much
Of the manure from their animals, I'M
less 1t Is possible to bring the pasture
into cultivation. Manure that is piled
Is likely to deteriorate rapidly unless
special care Is taken in handling it.
Even under the best of circum-
stances some loss Is sure to occur, but
1t should be reduced as low as pos
sible. This may be done by feeding
under cover or on earth floor or still
better upon cement floor.
Probably one other method excels
this and that Is one which allows the
droppings to be deposited In the field
where they are SO scattered that no
heating or fermentation can take place,
and all plant food which is leached cut
goes directly into the soil. Much OF
the advantage Of this method Is lost
In case Of steep hillsides. In case Of
dairy cows, hauling the manure to the
field daily with spreader, where this
can be done, allows Of very little lpss.
After the manure has been scattered
evenly and thinly by the spreader or
by hand care should be taken to see
that 1t Is worked into the soil by disk
ing or blowing under soon enough SO
that 1t will decay. Undecayed straw In
the manure may help to prevent loss
by soil washing, but in dry seasons
unless plowed under early, 1t may leave
the soil so open that 1t will dry toe
rapidly, to the detriment Of the crop
