*S GARDEN m#-jfr~j '-S GETTING A SUPPLY OF FUEL. Borne Suggestions 33 to Method* Which Will Make the Work Easy. We have tried several ways of getting up the year's supply of fuel, but have finally settled on the fol lowing plan, says a writer in Orange Judd Farmer. Fell the trees on the ground with a small sapling tinder, so a log chain can be passed beneath. Fig. I.—Logging Bob. Then a logging bob (Fig. 1) is tipped up on its side near the largo end of the log; a chain is hooked to the bolster near the ground, passed under the log and over the top runner of the bob and the team hitched to the end of the chain. A quick pull of the team and the bob comes down on both run ners, with the log on top of the bol ster. The log Is now drawn to some shel tered place near the woodhouse and sawed into stove lengths with a 6-inch crosscut saw on the skidway shown in Fig. 2. The limbs are trimmed in the Fig. 2.—Skidway. woods, drawn on a pair of bobs to the shop, where we have a three horse power boiler and two-horse pow er engine, and are sawed at the rate of cord an hour with a buzz saw. A handy device can be made of two crotched limbs, as shown in Fig. 3, to saw large limbs on. A 2-inch auger Fig. 3.—Handy Sawhorse. hole is bored where the limbs branch, and a hardwood limb driven tightly In the hole. We had a large number of trees blown over several years ago, leaving a mass of earth and roots on the stumps. Most of the trees were too far from the ground to saw. We found the following described device (Fig. 4) very handy to hold and low er the trees after sawing the stump AA, planks with holes bored in them; B, log; C, chain; D, crotched limb; EE, lever; FF, iron pins, off. It is made of two hardwood planks about Bxs inches and 1V& inch thick, bolted together at the top and bottom, with a 2-inch space between for the lever to work in. One- Inch holes are bored through the sides of both planks, in which iron pins are placed for the lever to pry over. The lever is made of white ash, and has two notches near the large end, with HI L'i M r -i— —i •if 112 ° i Fig. 4.—Log Jack. a chain link attached midway be tween notches. A stout log chain is hooked in the link, passed under the log, and attached to a crotched limb leaning slightly against the opposite side of the log. By working the small end of the lever up and down and moving the pins up one hole at a time, a good sized tree can be raised from the ground high enough to be sawed tasily without a backache. ALL AROUND THE FARM. Corn following a poor stand of al falfa gave 11 bushels per acre moro than the check test in some AlabamA experiments. Make a good work bench this win ter. You never can entirely rid your saw of rust if once it gets a hold on the steel. So keep It off, if you wish to have nice bright saws. Let all useless fences go; can't af ford to keep them. A little brain work during this win ter will be a saving for leg work next summer. Prepare for the spraying campaign. If you haven't a good pump and at tachments, better order the necessary outfit soon. If it is wrong for a man to have a diseased cow in his herd, why should it not be considered just as much so to let a tree covered with insect pests, or affected with some bad disease, sta» the orchard?

SKIN ERUPTION CURED. Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful That Little Sufferer Could Not Sleep —Scratched Constantly. Cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven. "When about two and a half years old my daughter broke out on her hips and the upper parts of her legs with a very irritating and painful eruption. It began in October; the first I noticed was a little red surface and a constant desire on her part to scratch her limbs. She could not sleep and the eruptions got sore, and yellow water came out of them. I had two doctors treat her, but she grew worse under their treat ment. Then I bought the Cuticura Remedies and only used them two weeks when she was entirely well. This was in February. She has never had another rough place on her skin, and she is now fourteen years old. Mrs. R. R. Whitaker, Winchester, Tenn., Sept. 22, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston. A Slight Misunderstanding. Little Helen Bentley of Los Angeles, aged five, dearly loves her grandma, who has been living with her and her parents. Recently grandma went to Seattle for a visit, and caught cold on the way. When she arrived there, she wrote back to Helen's parents that she had reached Seattle, but had had a hard fight with the grip. Helen wanted to hear what grandma had to say, and the letter was read to her. Soon afterward she saw one of her neighbors, and exclaimed: "Oh, Mrs. Smith, we've had a letter from grand ma. She got to Seattle all right, but she had a terrible fight with her va lise." For the Public Taste. The following makes a very popular dish, the usual name given it being "funny paper."

Did you ever stand on a prominent corner at an early morning hour and watch the throngs of people on their way to work? Noting the number who were forcing themselves along be cause it meant their daily bread, and the others cheerfully and eagerly pur suing their way because of love of their work.

Mr. Austin was a man who had never had any previous experience in farming, but Western Canada had al lurements, and he profited. He got a low-rate certificate from a Canadian Government agent, and then moved. What he says is interesting: "Ranfurly, Alberta, May 10-' 08. "J. N. Grieve, Esqr., Spokane, Wash ington.—Dear Sir: After a dozen or more years of unsuccessful effort in the mercantile business in Western Washington, in August, 1903, decided to come to Alberta with a gentleman who was shipping two cars live stock to Edmonton. 1 assisted this man with the stock over one hundred miles out in the Birch Lake Country, East of Edmonton. Indeed, how sur prised, how favorably everything com pared with my dream of what I want ed to see in a new country. "Had never had any experience in farming, but I was Immediately con verted into a farmer. And from that moment I have prospered. Selecting a homestead near Birch Lake, I re turned for wife and three small chil dren and freighted out from Edmonton in March following year we shoveled a spot clear of snow and pitched our tent and commenced operations, at that lime we had no neighbors. Four years have passed, the locality is well settled, two miles from railway sta tion, with churches and schools, tele- I phone and good road accommodations. "We are enjoying the privileges granted to any rural district in ! Washington. The Birch Lake Coun | try is no exception, this great trans formation is rapidly going on in every j district in Western Canada. "I estimate that every quarter sec | tlon in every direction is capable of producing a comfortable living for a family of ten forever. After paying for two horses and a cow, had just SIO.OO togo on. Did my first plough- I ing in my life. I was very awkward in my work, but nature was glad and I was abundantly paid for my efforts. Our cattle has increased to about fifty head, which was very profitable on ac count of the abundance of forage. To farm was compelled to buy about four hundred dollars' worth of farm ma chinery on time, and the payments fell due last fall, and you may wonder how I expected to pay for them when we had such a bad year. 'Twas a little bad for Western Canada or for a Mis sourian. But is not 35 or 40 bushels j oats a pretty good yield per acre in many States? Then the price of 1 grain v/ent out of sight, so when I had | sold my crop I found I was able to make my payments nicely, besides we had lots of feed. No one has any busi ness raising cattle without growing grain, or vice versa. As to the winters, did not feed my cattle, excepting the calves, a fork of hay until in March. Have fouud the winters much more ; pleasant than we did in Western Wash | ington. This is strange and hard to : explain, but 'tis true, nevertheless, at 40 degrees below zero we have more ! comfort than you would at 20 degrees | above, so still and dry—with bright, sunny days. My wife says that the | only regret she has is that we did not j come here ten years ago, as we would ! now certainly have been in a position 'to retire from hard work. Most wom en soon become satisfied as neigh bors begin to come round them. Have 98 acres in crop this year, besides two acres potatoes, which have always brought me a fair price. We find a ready market for 1 everything we produce. To the Poor Man —Here is a chance to establish yourself. To the Rich Man —Here is a chance to buy land for SIO.OO to $15.00 per acre which will produce more crops than a half dozen acres of your $50.00 |to $75.00 per acre land. And if not very much mistaken, this year will prove an opener to those who are a little sceptical. The trouble with me is that 1 have so much to say so favorable to Alberta 'tis hard to be brief.
