TO IDENTIFY CALVES
Marking Is Particularly Impor-
tant In Purebred Herds.
Holes and Notches In Ear 10 System
Practieed by Many Breeders
Punch Specially Designed for
That Purpose.

It is important that each calf be
marked plainly SO as to permit OF
easy Identification. This Is particu-
larry necessary in purebred herds, and
should be done In all herds of any
considerable size, even II composed
Of grades.
A number Of marking systems have
been In general use, among which the
following are some of the most coIl-
mon: leather strap around the neck,
with brass tag attached; ear tags of
various forms; notches and holes In
the ears: and tattoo marks In the
ears.
Marking animals by means Of holes
and notches In the ear Is practlced
In many herds, and a number Of sys-
tens are In use for this purpose. The
notches are made with punch spe-
cially designed for the purpose. Care
should be taken to make them so that
they can be readily detected In run
ming the fingers along the edge of the
ear. Under no circumstances should
they be made with knife, as the out
lines of small cut made by such an
instrument become obliterated or
may be confused with the slight nat
ural identifications of the ear as the
animal grows older. 1t Is also very

FAVOR SHARP GARDEN TOOLS
II Hoes, Spades, Weeders, Etc, Are
Once in Good Shape It Is Easy
Job to Keep Them So.

When the garden itself Is not high
ly esteemed, the tools will be poor as
a matter of course. But even people
who think lot Of their gardens are
sometimes very careless about the con-
dltion of their tools.
The proverb says, ''If the iron be
blunt, then must be put to it the more
strength" Sharp tools greatly econo-
mize strength. Sharp, bright, tools
that are tight to their handles add to
the enjoyment one has In his work.
To have hoe slip readily through
the soil. doing a nice, clean job, con-
tributes to ones self-respect and
makes him proud Of the work he Is
doing. II the hoes, spades. weeders
and other tools are once put In good
shape, they can easily be kept sharp
by the occasional use of a file; and
with an old kitchen knife the rusty
places can be scraped clean so that
they will soon scour smooth.
BY all means furnish the boys with
good sharp tools and show them how
they can be used to best advantage
and kept in order. Nothing so de-
presses boy and disgusts him with
gardening and farming as to be COM
PEELED to use dull and unsuitable tools.

ed action have secured high degree
OF uniformity In the grade and pack
of the berries, which is reflected in
the better price obtained on the mar
kets.
A difficulty that has increased with
the development Of the industry and
the growing practice of shipping
Strawberries over long distances is the
scarcity of labor at picking time. In
order that the berries shall reach
distant market In good condition, II
is necessary to pick them regularly
and at the proper time. The demand
for pickers is, therefore, very great.
On the other hand, idleness, due to a
few rainy days, may cause the pickers
to migrate to another section, caus-
Ing considerable loss to the growers
they leave. To offset this tendency.
the report suggests that pickers
should be guaranteed a minimum
number Of working days within the
limits of the normal harvesting sea-

Notch Method of Marking.

difficult. to make the cut of the right
size with knife. and If too large the
animal Is greatly disfigured. This
system, while causing a slight distig-
urement of the animal. Is very simple
and If rightly done the n0tches are
scarcely noticed. A serious disadvan-
tage, however, Is that mistakes in
marking cannot be easily corrected.
To illustrate the use of this method
the following examples are given: No.
Z, two notches on lower edge and one
notch on upper edge of left ear; No.
40, one notch on lower edge of right
ear, one notch on upper edge of right
ear and two notches on lower edge Of
left ear; No. 152, one notch in center
of left ear, one notch on lower edge
of right ear, two notches on upper
edge of right ear, and two notches on
upper edge of left ear.

AXLE GREASE IS NEGLECTED.
One OF Greatest Sins Against Farm
Equipment Is to Overlook
Proper fabrication.

OF all the sins Of neglect committed
against farm equipment that of fail
Ing to grease" the farm wagon is per-
haps the worst. The farm manager
gets in hurry, bitches up the team
and drives Off to haul a heavy load
when the "spindles" of the wagon may
be so dry" as to be bright from the
friction of the wheels.
Such use means heavy wear and
rapid deterioration. 1t takes but q
very few minutes to grease" the wag-
on when everything needed is handy.
When axle grease is used often the
load draws easier and the wear is re-
duced considerably.
Keep your wrench, axle grease and
axle rest handy so you will not forget
to Intricate the wagon.

RICH SOIL FOR cAUuFL0WER
Plant Will Not Thrive In Poor, Barren
Earth and Docs Best In Slightly
Cool Weather.

Many persons who have attempted
to grow caulifower are doubtless
wondering why they met with more
or less failure.
CaulifiOwer requires rich soil to
produce satisfactory development. 1t
simply will not grow to do any good
In poor, barren earth. and 1t Is use
less to try to grow 1t unless the soil
is or can be made very rich.
Caulifiower does best In a cool soil
and still better II the weather Is
slightly cooler than is required to
produce some other vegetable crops.
Feed the plants, Apply manure
that has strength In 1t, but avoid any
manure that has heating properties.
Well-decayed horse manure well mixed
with COW manure. will produce the
desired results. Apply to the bed
where the plants are to be set, spade
or pillow under. and then during the
growing season. apply 1t to the sur
face and especially along the rows
pretty close up to the plants, but keep
from touching them II possible.
Liquid fertilizer from such manure
will give satisfactory results IL APP
piled during the growing season. A
little wood ashes added to the manure
from which the liquor Is made and
applied at the time the heads are
forming will increase their size and
weight.
Bend over the longer leaves to pro-
tect heads from sun, and finer white
heads will be grown.

SALE OF STRAWBERRY CROP
Every Producing Section Has One or
Moro Marketing Associations
Scarcity Of Labor.

A report of the detailed study OF
the marketing and distribution of
strawberries made by the United
States department Of agriculture con-
tains much interesting information.
The investigators found that with
the increase of the Importance of the
industry more elaborate methods for
the disposal of the crop have become
necessary. Practically every impor-
tant producing section has one or
more important marketing associa-
Citations. These organizations relieve
the grower of many of the details
connected with the disposal Of his
crop, and In some cases even main
tain a labor bureau for securing the
much needed help during the picking

by five years. The clerk was Timothy
Matlack. who died at Holmesburg, Pa,
in 1920, when he was nlnety-nine years
of age. ...
Timothy Matlack, writes Gaillard
Hunt, chief Of manuscript division IL
brary, in the Youths Companion. was
Quaker by birth, but he was an open
advocate of fighting, and in 1776 was
elected captain of militia band In
Philadelphia, known as the "Shrt bat
talion."~~So the Quakers, who were OPP
posed to war, expelled him. and in
1881 he and some others formed the
sect known as Free Quakers." Be-
sides being In the Continental congress
he held u number of important offices
under the government Of Pennsylvania
and Philadelphia. His last service
was as alderman OF Philadelphia from
1913 to 1918.
Was a Great Penman.
To carry out the order of the con-
gress that the Declaration be pro-
claimed, Thomson needed more than a
score Of copies, for he had to send It
to everyone of the states and to the
army. So to save time he did not at
tempt to have any copies written. OFF
with the pen, but sent the original
drafts, which the congress had passed,
to the official printer, John Dunlap.
The following morning the printed
copies were In Thomson's hands.
II was from one Of those copies that
Philadelphia first heard the Declare
ton read, and It was one of them that
became the official copy, for Thomson
had not copied the Declaration even
into the journal of the congress be-
fore he gave 1t to the printer; but
when he wrote the journal for July 4
he left a blank space for the Declara-
ton, and the next day, with two wafers
OF red wax, he fastened in the printed
broadside. At the time il had been
signed only by John Hancock, as presi-
dent Of congress, and countersigned by
Charles Thomson as secretary.

have said sometimes an entry was
made in the Journal of the congress by
another hand than Thomsons, writes
Mr.. Hunt. The first of those occa-
sions was on June II, 1775. when Tim
othy Matlack recorded resolution to
set aside a day for fasting and prayer
to avert the desolating calamities that
seemed to be impending. Matlack had
been appointed clerk In Thomson's
office on May Is, and five days later, on
May 20, he wrote out the most import
ant document that the congress had
issued up to that time--the commission
to George Washington to be comman-

der In chief OF the American army. The
Identification OF the penmanshlp OF the
commission with that OF the entry In
the Journal and of both with an auto
graph letter OF Matlack's that Is among
the papers Of the Continental congress
Is certain.
Probably there was not at that time
a man In the country who was Mat
lacks equal as penman. Later Thorn
son had two clerks In his Office. George
Bond and Thomas Edison. each OF
whom wrote a good engrossing hand !;
so did General WashingtOn's secretary,
Richard varick. Alexander Hamilton
wrote n finer hand than any Of them.
but neither he nor any Of the others
could equal the beauty of Matlack's
capital letters and the clearness and
symmetry of his writing as u whole.
MatIaok Copied the Declaration.
Fortunately. Matlack was still a
clerk In Thomson's office when the
Declaration of Independence was or
dered to be engrOssed for final sigma
ture. and the task Of copying 1t was as
signed to him. He copied from the
broadside, "In Congress, July T. 1776."
which Is reproduced In the written
Declaration In the same form Of let
tering.
1t Is not easy to identify the penman-
ship of document like the Declare
tlon. for the writer has written very
plainly and In characters Of twice the
normal size. but some individual pc
culiarities appear In this AZ In all
writing. A few years ago some of the
officials in the library Of congress who
knew that Matlack was the best pen
man employed by Thomson made
comparison of General Washington's
commission, which was known to have
been written by him, with the Declara-
ton.
The first peculiar letter in the com
mission Is the capital IN" In New
Hampshire. and we find its counterpart
in Natures" in the second line of the
body of the Declaration. The graceful
flourish at the top of CT" In the word
"To" in the commission Is repeated in
the second OF the sentences beginning
"That" in the Declaration. In the word
"offer" in the commission there is
marked popularity in the double e."
the first "f' Is made like the old-fash-
Toned long IS" 1t appears in the word
effect" I'm the Declaration. then in
suffer" and "sufferable." That Is the
most noteworthy popularity In Mat
lacks writing. The capital '''D" In the
commission and In the last line of the
Declaration; the capital "B" In the
