LARGE LOADS"
OB* of tli e Detail* 111 ill Menu Good
Haului-kn to the Fanner.
Much time is lost by drawing small
kind* Many times have I seen farm
ers going to town with a load of wheat
of only SO or -4<» bushels. I can remem
ber when a boy we had to draw our
wheat and oats to market a distance of
10 miles. Even on good roads we con
sidered 30 bushels of wheat and CM
bushels of oats a good load. Xow we
draw 80 bushels of wheat and don't
consider it any too much. Where there
is a large quantity of stuff to market
a third horse pays well. You can then
put on 100 bushels of wheat and 200
bushels of oats. One man can do tho
work, an extra trip is saved, and the
third horse iioi>s nothing but draw
grain. It will take one horse to draw
the wagon and the other two horses to
draw grain.
A great many loads of logs and bolta
are drawn past our house every day
in the winter time. It Is interesting to
notice the difference in the size of
loads. Some, with a good team and a
long distance to haul, will have ou a
couple of small logs, while a neighbor
with no l»etter team will pile ou 10 or
12 logs as large. What a lot of time
is wasted here! Frequently large load
ing is overdone, but more frequently
small loading Is overdone.
One of the handiest things we have
on our farm is a large flat rack. 7'j
feet wide ami I<> feet long, with a
tight, smooth floor laid over it. We use
this on our low wheel, wide tire wagon.
It stays ou all the time, and we use it
for nearly everything. It has a 2 by 3
strip nailed around the outer edge to
keep loads from slipping off. It is the
best thing for drawing in hay or grain
that I ever saw.
We can put on some monstrous loads
of hay, and it is no trouble to put on
60 (lozin of wheat, or all that a large
team can handle. It looks like a flat
car while empty, and the old fashioned
rack looks like a toy beside it. Large
loads of hay pay well. They save sev
eral extra drives to and from the field.
Besides, it does not take any longer to
clean up the bottom of the load from
a large one than It does from a small
one. So t i fte is saved in two ways
here. Saving time means lots of mon
ey sometimes in drawing hay. It may
mean the saving of large quantities
from being spoiled by getting wet. I
have often wished for an extra day to
finish up the hay. Ilad 1 used large
loads I might have saved a good deal
from getting wet.
These things mean business to every
farmer. The time is here when tiie
farmer must use more business in liis
business, writes I. N. Cowdrey in The
Country Gentleman.
FnrclnK Rliulmrb In the Cellar.
Horticulturist Fred W. Card of the
Rhode Island station, in summing up
his experience in forcing rhubarb, ex
presses a desire to impress upon ev
ery one who has a garden with rhu
barb In it the fact that he and his fam
ily may be enjoying in February and
March of next year a more beautiful
product than ever grows lu the open
ground. To do it lie will need to trans
fer a few roots to a dark corner of the
A OOItVER IN UnUHAKB.
cellar after they have frozen In the
fall, packing a little tine mellow earth
about them, and then simply see that
the plants are kept moist. Whoever
owns a garden with no rhubarb in It
should see that some is planted there
fori hwltli.
A warm cellar will hasten the crop,
but a moderately cool one will give a
finer product and probably a I letter
yield. The length of time between
planting and harvesting varies from
less than three weeks to more than
two months, depending chiefly upon
the temper:*ture. Allowing the roots
to freeze In the field will greatly fa
cilitate forcing. Large roots should
yield five to ten pounds per plant, and
every ten ounces of that yield will
make a delicious pie. The color of the
cooked product will be much brighter
if it is placed upon the stove in cold
water, and it will be sweeter if thu
sugar is added Just before It is eaten.
AKTrlotiHnral Brevities.
The resultw from the continued ex
periments of the Rhode Island station
appear to indicate that many farmers
might find the use of lime ou their lan
a paying financial operation, eveu
though the first cost of the Investment
seems to them forbiddingly great.
J. 11. Hale of fruit growing fame
says there is less danger from Injury
to the trees by freezing in winter when
the soil is given frequent cultivation
during the growing season and then a
cover crop grown to cover the soil In
the winter and to plow under to add
humus to the soil the next year
Thorough fall cultivation seems tc
be the only practical means yet known
of destroying wireworms in the soil.
Sweet corn, if allowed to remain ou
the stalk and cut and put In a shock
before being injured by frost, will keep
fresh for a considerable time, sayi
John Ilobson in American (iardenlng.
Smudge fires can be used to advan

agriculture, for orchards, vineyards

Some doctors believe that a man has
Just so many hours to be awake, and
that the more of them he uses up in a
flay the shorter his life will be. A man
might live to be 200 if lie could sleep

economize time, therefore, is to sleep
when there is nothing better to do.—

JUNE GRASS.
Recommended For England
Pnslurvi—llent y S««dlu».
Seeing an iuquiry in a western paper
In regard to the desirability of sowing
Kentucky blue grass upon pasture laiul
reminds The American Cultivator that
not only those making the Inquiry, but
many farmers in New England, would
find an advantage in doing so if they
did not feed the tield too hard in the
spring. The Cultivator says: This
grass, known to many here by the
name of June grass, or botanieally as
I'oa pratensis, is one of the best pas
ture grasses, not only making a thick
and heavy sod and standing drought
better than most others, but also one
of the earliest grasses to start and fur
nish good pasture in the spring. In
this lies the danger if it is sown on old
pastures. It looks so green that the
first year the farmer is apt to turn his
cattle upon It before it is well rooted,
and it is pulled up rather than bitten
or gnawed so closely that the roots die
before other grass comes to protect it.
Scratch the old pasture over with a
sharp toothed harrow or score it with
the disk harrow and sow from one to
three bushels of seed to the acre or one
bushel of that and one of redtop and
keep the stock off until they have made
a fair 'arrowtli ami the wild grasses
have begun to grow, and the next year
they can be fed much earlier, having
looted well, and there will be a good
permanent pasture. Of course a top
dressing of the pasture so treated with
fine manure or a good fertilizer like
bone and i>otash or wood ashes would
be an improvement if one had the
means, but even without that the pas
ture would nearly double in feeding
capacity.
June grass makes a good, tine hay If
cut early, but its yield when alone is
not enough to make it a profitable
grass, and, though often sown with
clover and orchard grass. It is at its
best for hay even before they are, yet
if we were sowing them we would add
a bushel of June grass or Kentucky
blue grass to the seed. If to the bushel
each of redtop and blue grass were
added one peck each of perennial rye
grass and tall oat grass and five pounds
sweet vernal gra»s, it would make al
most an Ideal pasture, good enough for
a lawn. In fact, this would make a
good lawn grass, to which we would
add nothing more but live pounds or
more of white clover.
Some may consider the above too
heavy seeding for pasture or lawn. Imt
we believe in heavy seeding for both,
and those who think it too much or too
expensive can reduce the amounts.
ClarlfyluK Rorirlinni Sirup.
The quality of sorghum sirup is de
termined by the more or less perfect
separation from the juice of the im
purities which are solid and of those
which are in solution. The method of
clarification found preferable by A. A.
Denton in his investigations, conducted
for the agricultural department, into
the making of sorghum sirup Is to set
tle cold, iiiued and clayed juice, draw
off and heat the settled juice, clay and
TAXKS FOB COLD AND lIOT SETTLING,
settle it, and again draw it off, then
evaporate it. These processes are
clearly shown in the cut, the raw Juice
being limed, clayed and settled cold in
settling tank A, the settled juice being
drawn off by the swing pipe E into the
Juice heater B, where it is heated to
near the boiling point and skimmed,
then drawn off by the swing pipe F
into the hot settling tank C, where it is
again clayed and settled and the clear
juice drawn off by a swing pipe G into
the evaporator or receiving tank D.
The clarified Juice Is then evaporated
to sirup. By this method most of the
solid impurities which were In suspen
sion in the juice are removed.
In the cut the tanks A, B, C and I) Il
lustrate simply the principle of trans
ferring the juice by gravity. In prac
tice the tanks 14, C and D are separated
from A and are supplied with a source
of heat, either steam or open lire.
Cnltlvndnsir I.ntc Cabbnjre.
Through the fall until Halloween
late cabbage makes its best growth,
and it should be given good attention
to promote this growth, according to
an exchange, which affirms that it is
impossible to cultivate cabbage too
much and almost impossible to feed it
too much. It is a rank feeder, and If
fine manure Is put around the stalks
and worked Into the soil it will help
tiie cabbage heads to grow big and
tender. Keep tiie ground well worked,
and even if there 1* not a weed to be
seen it should 1 »«• hotd as often ns pos
sible. Hoe the soil to the stalk just
a little each time, so as to keep the
roots cool and 11101 st and as the cool
nights come the heads will begin to
fill out and by tiie tVme they are ready
to pull will lie hard, sweet, white ami
tender, and with these four good qual
ities the cabbage will lie perfect.
lInrvPH«l»K Conjieti.
Teas are cut for hay with an ordi
nary mower when tiie first pods turn
brown. The curing '.s difficult. The
vines should be put into cock the sec
ond day to prevent loss of the leaves,
and the curing is effected by the sweat
ing and subsequent exposure to the
air by loosening the cocks with a fork.
This process must be repealed (hiring
several days Some growers make tiie
hay without much curing, just as is
recommended in case of red clover,
but tiie one adopting this plan will
likely fall. Green stufT, free from
outshle moisture, but full of sap, will
cure nicely in a barn for the highly
scientific, but It is very apt to char,
burn, aiold, rot aud do £ lot of other
things for the rest of us.—Ohio Farmer.

YOU CAN'T TELL
'
What kind of weather comes at this season of the year
—we are liable to have blizzards, extreme cold and
sudden changes of terpperature. Do you know that a
little good whiskey is the best medicine to fortify the
system against such changes? Ask Any Physician
and if he is honest he will tell you that pure whiskey
is the best preventative against Colds, Chills and like
ailments.
Our Cabinet Bye Whiskey at $3.00 a gallon
is guaranteed to be absolutely pure and four years old.
There is no whiskey in the county for the same money
that can compare with it. We pay the expressage
too, and make no charge whatever for boxing and
shipping. When a transfer from one express company
to another is necessary, we prepay charges to point of
transfer.
Send us $3.00 for a sample gallon,
We know it will please you.
