BILE gang pillow would accomplish a
much greater amount of work than Is
now performed per man on majority
of farms where the two-horse walking
pillow is used. In the preparation Of
the seeded one man can readily ham
die four or six horses hitched TO the
section harrow to which additional
sections have been added, thereby In
creasing the amount of land narrowed
with the same labor. IN the harvest
ing of crops horse power may be ut-
lied more efficiently in many sections
by the use of more horse power per
man.
Cooperative use of machinery in
harvesting the wheat and corn crop
would utilize horse power and labor
to advantage by the exchange of labor
among small farmers.
Use of Manure Spreader. n
Hauling out manure on the average
farm as ii Is produced, instead of al
lowing it to accumulate around the
buildings and hauling 1t out when con-
tice. Where the expenditure Is justi-
| fable the use of a manure spreader
would distribute the manure to better
advantage and effect considerable saw
ing in labor over the old method Of
| hauling out and spreading by hand.

RICH SOIL FOR GooSEBERRY
Land Should Be Well Supplied With
Humus, Deeply PIowed and Given
Shallow Cultivation.

Gooseberries prefer rich, deep,
mellow soil. The soil should be well
supplied with humus and be deeply
pIowed and well fitted. The plants
should be set as early in the spring
as it is possible to properly fit the
soil, as they are among the first plants
to start IN the spring.
The usual distance is four by six
feet. In commercial plantations thor
ough shallow cultivation is practiced
but in the home garden mulching may
often be advantageously employed.
Stable manure is an excellent ferti-
lizer since it maintains the humus as
well as the fertility.

HARVESTING BIG WHEAT CROP
Department Of Agriculture Advises
Farmer to Consider Question
Of Stacking.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
With the biggest crop of wheat on
record about to be harvested, 1t is
probable that In many neighborhoods
thrashers will not be able to make
their rounds in the usual time. Con
siderable quantities Of wheat will have
to wait beyond the usual thrashing
time. If left in the shock, II will be
damaged by every rain, even to some
extent by the dew. The stacking of
wheat has fallen into disuse in latter
years, but it woule be well. the de-
partment of agriculture says, for the
farmer who is not certain of prompt
thrashing to con- der 1t this year.

SYMPTOM OF. SEVERAL ILLS
Limberneck Is Due to Absorption Of

prepared by the United States Depart

The condition known as limberneck
is In reality not a disease, but is a
symptom of several diseases which are
characterized by a paralysis of the
muscles of the neck, which makes II
impossible for the bird to raise its
head from the ground. This condi-
ton is due to the absorption of pois-
ons from the intestines, which act
upon the nervous system and cause
paralysis. 1t is genrally associated
with indigestion or the eating of moldy
grain or putrid meat or with intesti-
nal worms.
The best treatment ls to give q full
dose Of purgative medicine-that is.
80 or go grains of epson salt or three
or four teaspOonfuls Of castor oil for a
grown fowl. Often the birds will be
cured within "a hours. In case they
are not better within three or four
days 1t Is not advisable to keep them.

that innate and exquisite sympathy be-

the form that consents to every mood
and of grace and dignity, which can be

without being distant, and which is
something neither ancient nor modern,
always new and incapable Of growing

More efficient utilization of horse
power on the average farm will assist
in large measure in saving labor
The necessary horse power is usually
available for the efficient operation
of the average American farm, but this
power is not always utilized or dis
tributed to greatest advantage.
The practice of blowing as much
land as possible in the LATE fall rather
than in the spring, when work is press
ing. will result in labor saving, as this
method utilities both horse power and
labor at a season when 1t would other
wise be practically idle.
In practically the entire cotton belt
the one-horse breaking pillow is in gen.
eral use. This requires the use of one
man per horse in the operation of the
farm. BY the use of the two-horse
breaking pillow the same labor could
break more land and the same time
make better seedbed.
Labor Is Plentiful.
Planting and seeding are still done
belt and the distribution of fertilizers
and manure is largely done in the
same manner. This custom has pre-
vailed no doubt because the labor has
been plentiful. But the use of horse
planters, grain drills, fertilizer dis
tributOrs, and manure spreaders.
where the amout of land under cult
walton would justify the expenditure
for the implements. great saving of
labor could be effected.
In the cultivation of crops in many
parts of the South the use of the one
horse pillow and sweep prevails, and
because of the inefficiency of these i'm
plements the crops must be hoed al
most continually in order to keep the
crop clean. This method could be i'm
proved upon by using the light harrow
or weeder when the crop is young and
later the two-horse single-row cult
vator This would result in greatly
increasing the amount of work per-
formed with the same labor, and at the
same time doing the work more etfi-
GENTLY.
Use Two-Row CuItivator.
In many sections OF the country the
use of the two-row cultivator has
been demonstrated as practicable,
thereby utilizing more horse power
and performing more work with the
same labor. The use of this imple-
ment should be extended where condi-
tons warrant. On the average corn
belt farm more horse power per man
can be utilized in many instances. The
use Of four or five horses on the dou-
