HIRE LABOR ON HOUR BASIS
Specialist Says Farmers viii Find
Employing Hands on That Plan
Advantageous.

Experience the last several seasons,
says W. L. Cavert, farm management
specialist of the Minnesota College Of
Agriculture, indicates that farmers
will find 1t advantageous to employ
harvest and threshing labor on the
hourebasls instead Of the day basis.
'+The hour plan," says Mr.. Cavert, SIS
absolutely fair to both farmer and Ia
borer and has the advantage that the
help is not likely to object when 1t
seems necessary to put in long hours"

If you are inveigled into betting on
the poker value of automobile mum
bers, don't let the other fellow fool
you into paying him for every one
that contains a pair. Most numbers
show at least pair. as a New Bed
ford man found to his sorrow the
other day.
The terms of the wager were that
he was to receive a quarter for every
number lacking pair, and to pay
quarter for every one that had a
pair. 1t sounded all right TO him, and
he agreed OF the first 80 cars they
saw. "a had numb ers in which the
same figures appeared twice against
II in which all the figures were DIFF
ferent. Since then the loser has test

himself that the pairs outnumber the
others almost two to one.-New Bed

FEW WEEDS ARE DESIRABLE
Detailed Purity Test Will Enable
Farmer to Decide Whether He
Wants Weeds or Not.

Not all weeds are equally undesir-
able in fields, hence a detailed purity
test showing the various weeds in a
sample will enable the farmer to de-
eide whether he is willing to plant the
weed seeds his sample contains or
whether he will look farther for pure
seed. Clean seed is always obtainable,
usually at a somewhat higher price.
The decision must be made on an ac-
curate and detailed test of the seed
under consideration.

PRODUCE BEST cAULIFLoWER
Tie Leaves Over Head to Protect It
From Sun or Weather-Three
Cuttings of Crop.

When the eaullfiower head is about
the size of dollar, the leaves should
be tied or twisted over the head to
protect It from sun and weather, This
method should produce a perfectly
white product. The leaves should be
so tied that snow or rain that enters
may find a ready exit at the bottom,
as an accumulation of moisture on
the head or curd will cause dark spots
and eventually ruin the product.
There are usually three cuttings Of
the crop. If the earliest heads are
tied with string, the second with
raffia and the last have the leaves
broken over. the grower will be aided
at cutting time and will not have to
examine all the plants.

POISONING GoPHERS is EASY
Put stryehnlne su'phste on Pieces Of
Vegetable Of Some Kind and
Shove In Hole.

The easiest way to poison gophers
is to put pieces of strychnine sulphate,
about the size of half a wheat grain,
on pieces Of potato, carrots or turnips.
Then take q sharp stick and push 1t
down into the soft earth around the
mound. Put the pieces of poisoned
material down into these places and
the gophers will get it. This way
also keeps stock and children from
picking 1t up. 1t has been proven to
be very efficient in Kidding the field.
