GRAIN FIELDS FOR PASTURE.
Too Close Grazing and Tramping of
Ground Injures Future Yield.
Wheat and rye sown for grain
should not be pastured by cattle or
sheep, as the close grazing and the
tramping of the ground will injure
the future yield of both grain and
straw. If the growth is rank, lambs
and cows may be allowed on the field
for a few days. When ground is dry,
but close, pasturing must be avoided.
The experience of practical farmers
is against grazing or cutting either
wheat or rye, however, rank may be
the growth.
Rye, sown for early spring feed, no
matter how great may be the growth
in the fall, should not be pastured.
The same holds true in regard to pas
turing crimson clover and English
rape. Timothy and red top meadows
should not be pastured late in the
fall and during the winter months.
A Self-Feeder.
Here is a practical self-feeder to
feed hominy meal. My father used
one on his farm, with the desired re
sults, that is, to give plenty of feed
to the stock, writes W. C. Wright.
A is the base upon which the feed
er rests. (Should be raised on legs if
you intend to feed cattle). Band C
are the two troughs one on each side.
I) and E are the two openings from
which the grain flows.
Fill the box with "feed and it will
run out at the bottom until the two
troughs are full, then the feed will
stop, because it has the grain stacked
up in the troughs until it has clogged
up the two openings.
Of course the hopper can be made
as big as wished, but the smaller it is
made the handier it will be to move
about. 1 think you will find this feed
er simple to make as well as prompt
in its action.
Get Rid of Burdock.
Any of the fields full of burdock?
If this pest has a good start It will
spread all over the farm by the end
of another season. Easy to kill it.
The burdock only lives a couple of
years it frequently mowed off close
to the ground, but the best way is to
take an iron bar, drive it down deeply
by the side of the root and pry the
whole miserable thing out and burn it,
root and branch. Every plant thus
treated is dead and done for.
Water the Bees.
The bees should have plenty of wa
ter. They consume a great deal, and
will travel a long distance to get it.
Should there be no running stream or
lake of pure water near, it is well to
place a pail of fresh water near the
apiary every day. Water is used by
the bees to dilute, the heavy, thickly
honey left over from winter to make
it suitable for the young larvae and
also to make the cell wax pliable.
Improving Orchards.
The best yielding orchard is the
one which receives the most intelli
gent care. By this is meant the most
thorough cultivation and the most 11b
•eral manuring. Apples do not grow
without something to grow from. They
need more in the way of fertility than
they can draw from the sky or from
the tired and worn out soil. If these
elements are not supplied the trees
resent it by withholding their harvest.
Alfalfa's Value.
According to an experiment by the
Kansas experiment station, an early
cut alfalfa will produce more pork
than will late cut alfalfa. A ton of
the former fed with grain produced
BGB-pounds of pork, while the late cut
alfalfa fed with an equal quantity of
grain produced only 333 pounds, less
than half as much.
The Chicago Live Stock World has
set. a new pace of much interest to
breeders of draft horses, in guarantee
ing exhibition stakes for-premiums on
yearling colts. It proposes to add a
thousand dollars to the other sums of
fered for the best colts registered, of
Percheron, Shire, Belgian and Clydes
dale breeds.
Put Markets in Touch.
Good roads will bring the country
districts in touch with the markets at
all seasons of the year and will give
the railroads a year round business
on which they can count with a rea
sonable degree of certainty.
Bee Note.
Until frost comes be careful to
look over the combs used for extract
ing, to forestall the ravages of the
bee-moth; the combs are safe after
a good frost or two.
One pint, of Silicate of Soda, or wa
ter glass diluted with eight quarts of
water, will preserve eggs perfectly for
many months.
1 How He Reformed Her j
on——mi.—nil—mi- mi- Ha ng
"Don't you think it's most time we
announced our engagement?" asked
Dick. "We are satisfied with -each
other—that is, I am satisfied with you
—and so many have found it out al
ready I think we might as well give
the tea."
Constance dimpled her chin into
half a smile. "What an idea!" she ex
claimed. "Don't you know my good
reason for keeping quiet?"
"Ye-es; but there's such a thing as
carrying it too far. Just at present
you are too popular."
Constance had been eating ice
cream. Now she took the spoon out
of her mouth, turned it over, and put
it in again. "H'm!" she mused, "I
can't very well help that."
"On the contrary, you can very
well help it. You treat other men
just tRe way you treat me. And I tell
you frankly I don't like It."
Both of them were angry now; but
fortunatelly her partner for the next
dance appeared and Dick withdrew.
The newcomer was long and narrow
In build, and looked like an English
man.
"How did you know I was in the li
brary?" she asked him.
"Because I have always felt you
were of sterner stuff than you pretend.
I've been all the evening waiting for
a chance to speak with you."
"Come, then," pouted the girl.
"We'd better go somewhere else; it's
dark here, and naughty."
"You're the greatest riddle I've ever
run across," he confided.
Constance stared on.
"The dance is over," he observed.
"Shall I take you back to your box?"
"So you wish to be rid of me?"
"No; but I presumed you had this
taken."
"Perhaps I have, and would rather
stay with you," she teased. "But don't
let me detain you; you may want to
get back to someone yourself."
The Englishman sat down again.
"Do you like Dick Britidsley?" he
probed.
"Yes," she answered steadily. "Why
do you ask?"
"You're not with him so much as
you used to be."
"I like any number of men," she
evaded.
"You're a flirt, in other words!"
"In other words."
"Isn't that something to be asham
ed of?"
"I never learned that it was."
"Then you ought to be taught."
"You're another of these men who
want to teach me?"
"I should succeed, if I made the
attempt."
"So-o? -J dare you. Come to-mor
row and try."
The books glowered at each other
and the light blinked at the table. The
alcove was empty.
Suddenly a man hurried in and
dropped into a chair. His muttering*
were interrupted by the reappearance
of the Englishman. v
"Are you engaged to Miss Doll?" he
ventured.
Dick swore, and asked how that
concerned him.
"I am in love with her."
The music sounded, accentuated by
the tread of the dancers.
"Do you think it's right for you to
keep your engagement a secret?"
"Why not? It is her affair, and
mine."
"I think it is the world's affair.
WoulcP it be just for married people
togo about as unmarried. Don't you
do it to enable her to attract more
men?"
"I don't like the way you put it,"
snorted Dick.
"No wonder. If women can entice
men, men can turn about and entice
them. If she loves you, all right ; and
if she does not, then you're well rid of
her."
Dick rose, and his chair toppled.
"An engagement should be a more
sacred thing than this," persisted the
other. "If you do not announce it
then beware!"
Twenty hours passed. The clock on
the mantel was sounding 0. A fire on
the hearth was singing to itself. There
was no other light.
'.'Depends on how strong he is,"
came a deep voice.
"Are you strong enough?" tinkled a
girl's laugh.
"Never mind," retorted the English
man, crossing to the window. He lift
ed the shade and peered out.
"What are you doing?" she ques
tioned.
"You'll know soon enough," he re
plied, going back beside her.
"I'm not an inquisitive girl, you
see."
"Lucky for me. Listen; Do you
believe secret engagements are
right?"
"Do you?" she parried.
"H'm! Well, I don't believe in en
gagements at all."
"Never expect to get married?"
"Married first, engaged after."
Constance laughed nervously.
A little later a park policeman, who
had heen leaning on the handle bars
of his bicycle, saw a man running to
ward an automobile which be
fore the house on the corner. The
policeman saw him place a strange
great bundle In the tonneau and
spring to the wheol. There was the
squeal of the spark-advance, the roar
of the racing engine, the clack of the
shift-lever and the crunch of the
gears. The driver leaned forward,
shifted to the high, threw in the
clutch and was off at break-neck
speed—PERSIS WHITE.
A good many self-made men are
ashamed of It

Old Adage Still True.
"It's a fact," sighed the impover
ished horse dealer, as the cruel wind
blew his cotton trousers against his
thinning limbs, "it's a fact that my
business is getting worse and worse.
There's no demand for horses any
more. If people get hold of money
now they buy automobiles and let
their horses go."
"Yes," commented a grizzled old
bookworm, "and how vividly the pres
ent state of the horse market, so dis
heartening to you, is explained by the
adage, 'Money makes the mare go.' "

CARE OF STORE FIXTURES.
Advantages of a Coat of Lacquer on
Brass Work.
Although brass fixtures when new
have a fine coat of lacquer to keep
them from tarnishing, their protect
ing layer soon disappears before the
attacks of the cleaner. Instead of
wresting then with the problem of
keeping the unprotected brass bright
another coat of lacquer can be piit on.
Instead of sending the fixtures to
the factory for this purpose solve the
problem for yourself by applying the
following solution: Gum shellac dis
solved in alcohol makes a thin varnish
which is applied with a small brush:
ten cents worth of shellac is enough
and enough alcohol to make it thin.
This is enough to cover many fixtures
and the work can be done in less than
an hour.
To prevent your nickel fixtures
from rusting, especially when you
store them in the basement, says the
Shoe Retailer, go over them with a
cloth dampened with linseed oil, wrap
the nickel plated parts in paper. When
you next use your fixtures you will not
have any rust to contend with.
Many metal stands have glass tops.
These tops, from frequent handling,
get quite dull in appearance. To bring
back the original sparkle and crystal
effect to the glass all to do
is to cover the glass with a coating of
whiting dissolved in water and 'am
monia. When dry rub briskly with
dry cheesecloth and you will have a
beautifully polished glass top.
