so it may be fastened anywhere along
the strip, a. The strip, a, has bolt holes
two inches apart, along its entire
length.
The runners may be set to mark rows
as wide as four feet apart, and as nar
row as four inches, and between these
extremes, at any distance In an even
number of inches. The outside run
ners in the illustration are set just
even with the ends of the strip, a. The
rows are then three feet apart But
each runner may be set at least a foot
farther from tho center, by means of
the bar shown nt f, and still lap enough
to fasten. When the rows are to be
less than 2ft feet apart the runners
must change places with each other

the rows may be narrowed down to

For several yean prices have, quite
generally, been unremuneratlve and
production consequently limited, says
a writer in the North American Review.
Farmers have refrained from hiring
help and have contented themselves
with what could be produced by the
family. I know of no farm that is
yielding to Its fullest capacity; yet
some are producing more than twice
as much per acre as adjoining farms
equally good. To illustrate: A farm
if 200 acres, ICO of which are improved,
received careful treatment and above
the average condition of farms in the
vicinity, has a cash income of from
$000 to $70a yearly as the result of the
work of two men. An adjoining farm
of 40 acres, with the same labor, aver
ages about $300. A river farm of 40
acres, with a little more work, gives
about f 1,000. Small holdings, diversity
of crops and profitable prices will more
than double our production without
any increase in the area of improved
land. France, with nine times our pop
ulation to the square mile, produced
over eight bushels of wheat per capita
for the five years ending with 1SUT.
Our production for the same period was
hut little more than seven bushels per
capita.

As a rule all grafts succeed best on
trees of their own species.
No matter when transplanting is
done care must be taken to keep the
roots moist.
Bury the old bones and the old boots
and shoes under the roots of the grow

A little trimming every year is far
better than a heavy trimming once id

Bonemeol and potash in some forms
are staple fertilizers for any kind of
fruit trees or plants.
Flowers may not add visible dollars

In setting out trees dig holes large
enough to stretch the roots out full
