How Plow Point Should B Ground
-Only Lars Silo An ProBtablo-
Oll-Foaked Cob Mk Good Kind
llugf General Farm Matter.
. Pin Vtalnta-
NVnny all plow, whether riding or
walking, are now made wltn large, al
most square cut, points on the shear,
and In consequence when the plow Is
new. roots adhere and double over the
point, which gives a rocking; motion to
the plow and makes good work Impossi
ble. It Is claimed that the point wears
very fast, and that It soon becomes suf
fldently rounded to allow everything
of the kind to pass off, and while this
Is true I much prefer having a plow
that will do good work from the begin
ning, than to wait for several weeks,
and In plowing have to stop every now
and again and clear the point or tne
plow, says a writer In Bnrai Life. There
is no satisf action In the use of such a
plow, and If the manufacturer has
failed to do his work In a proper man
ner the point should be rounded by file
n, .rrinrintnne before the Dlow Is used.
Sometimes It may be necessary to tike
the plow to the blacksuiltn snop ana
have the point made hot and cut, but
the file or grind-stone Is to be preferred
If too much work Is not required.
Only Lars Silo Are ProBtablo.
The silo depends on entire exclusion
of air for the preservation of Its con
tents. It Is filled with vegetable matter
and carbonic acid g.is, which, being
heavier than air, excludes Its entrance
from above. But If there la any leak
beiew through which the smallest par
ticle of air can reach the ensilage. It
will rot so far as the air extends. There
Is always more or leas rot around the
edges of silos and at the top. But this
top loss Is prevented by covering with
some worthless material, which will
rot and preserve the ensilage below. It
is not practical generally to make a silo
for less than four or five cows, as the
waste of feed In the small silo will be
too great proportionally.
Oll-?oaked Cob for KlndllaK.
Much of the danger of using kerosene
oil for kindling fires would be avoided
If corn cobs were handy to be dipped
Into the oil and nsed , for kindling.
The cobs win hold more oil than will
wood, and if dry sticks are piled over
the soaked cobs they will quickly
make a blaze, which is always needed
on cold mornings to lift the volume
of cold air that is always found In
pipes and chimneys after the fire goes
lown. It Is not best to dip more than
one or two cobs into the oIL If all
the kindling, especially that on top, Is
wet with oil, the fire will sometimes
quickly burn off the oil, and then,
-without lifting the cold air, a dense
volume of carbonic-acid gas win settle
down Into the stove, making the start
ing of a fire worse than It was In the
beginning.
Keepias Hog la Barnyard.
We once knew a farmer who would
not keep hogs. Be was prejudiced
against pork as unhealthful and
against the hog as being an especially
uncleanly animal. It Is true, as he
used often to say, that no other farm
stock will eat hay or other fodder that
a hog has nosed over or has trampled
upon. But that Is Itself no good rea
son for discarding the hog. One of
his beat uses Is to keep in the barn
yard, or rather In that part of it which
has the manure pile. Of course, no
other farm stock would be fed here.
If cattle are fed grain of any kind, or
if horses are -fed whole oats, the hog
will get much of bis living, from the
grain passed whole in their excrement
In doing ibis he will add his own drop
pings both liquid and solid, to the pile,
and thus convert It Into much more
effective manure than the farmer can
get without the labor of turning over
and composting the manure pile. Ex
change. ' Fprsrinj Gripe Vine.
The advantage of , spraying grape
Tinea Is not alone in preserving fruit
from mildew and rot. Even when
these are not present on vines u nop ray
ed, a close examination of the leaves ;
will show patches of brown, beginning
early -in the summer, and gradually
spreading during the season. The ripen
ing both of fruit and of this year's
growth of wood depends on the vigor
and healthfulness of the leaves during
the growing season. Whatever Injures
the leaves must by so much delay the
ripening of fruit and Injure Its quality.
Now that the Bordeaux mixture sp
oiled earlv In the season is known to
no neglect in applying It
Late Fall Peed I nit with Tlmotby.
Wherever It is desired to permanent
ly seed land for meadow or pasture
timothy and. In fact all the grasses
will succeed better If sown In fall, even
though late, rather than in spring;
we have sown timothy seed up to the
time the ground freezes up, and have
had a better catch than could be got
by spring seeding. There Is some
growth of timothy whenever an open
spell of warm weather comes during
the winter. If the ground Is covered
with deep snow the timothy roots
will make some growth under it The
wheat sown late may winterkill, but
the grass win not even when exposed
to frequent freeiiDg and thawing. No
doubt the tiny plant is thrown out to
the surface, but It catches bold of the
loose, wet soil again and grows as rap
Idly as ever when suitable weather
comes. On the other band, the spring
sown grass seed barely gets rooted
before it is liable to be pinched by
droughts, and that too, before It has
got deep enough root to withstand in
Jury from this cause.
Chanorlns from Green to Dry Feed.
All farmers recognize that sudden
change in spring to green feed for
stock, after being used to dry feed
all winter, is unwise. But when the
change Is the reverse, the effect
though perhaps more Injurious, Is apt
to pass unnoticed until loss of health
compels attention. . A rough, staring
hide always shows that the animal Is,
or has been, constipated.,- It is not
necessary to dose with physic to rem
edy this evil. That will purge the sys
tem violently, and be followed by
Equally violent reaction. Whenever
green food Is superseded by dry ths
change should be gradual. Cornstalks
do this very nicely. When put up In
the fall they are always more or less
damp from their natural Juices, which
only slowly dry rjnt during winter.
The worst constipation Is from tim
othy or other meadow grass hay. Clo
ver Is rather laxative than constipat
ing. All animals fed mainly on mead
ow hay should have a small amount of
linseed meal, or boiled whole flaxseed
fed dally with a few oats. These will
keep the bowels In good condition, and
also give the animal a sleek, shining
coat which Is the natural result of
good health and good digestion. s
Care of Farm Roadside.
Much of the attractiveness of coun
try scenery, and with It the farms and
'country places it includes, depends on
having well-cared-for roadsides. This
subject Is getting more thought from
farmers than it used to do. Because
the roadsides do not have to be tilled
It Is often thought they are the fair re-1
ceptaele of whatever stumps, stones or
other material Is unwelcome else
where. Whenever a farm has to be
sold whose owner takes this view of
things he Is apt to discover his mis
take. A row of maple trees far enough
from the - roadside fence to allow a
path for walking or bicycling Is a
paying Investment for any farmer to
make. If he lives ten or fifteen years
these trees may be tapped, and having
plenty of sunlight they wtll yield more
and better sap than he ran get from
trees of equal size in the woods.
What Grain Chaff I For.
In its wild state the chaff of grain
served a very Important purpose In
shielding it from too early sprouting,
which with all kinds of grain would
insure Its destruction by the ensuing
winter. If a head of wheat rye or
barley or of Indian corn is exposed to
the weather all winter some of Its
grains will survive till spring or of
the winter grains will fall out in time
for the best seeding in fall. It Is thus
that these grains were perpetuated In
the ages before man learned to culti
vate and care for them. Even now
heavily bearded grains are less like
ly to be Injured by rotting In mow or
stack lr the straw ana grain are wet
Often in threshing the straw will be
rotted around the band, while the grain
protected by Its chalt is uninjured.
Keep an Account.
It Is to be regretted that there are
not more farmers who Imitate the ex
ample of a farmer In Vermont who
kept a close account of what It costs
him to manufacture and sell butter.
After considerable bookkeeping with
respect to his dairy herd, he found
that he made butter at a cost of 13
cents a pound. How many farmers
are there who have been making but
ter for years, who know with anything
like reasonable accuracy what It costs
to make it or whether the manufacture
has been any profit to them?
Home-Grow Beef.
Since the monopoly of the beef-shipping
business by Chicago millionaires,
it has been almost impossible for farm
ers to find home butchers willing to
purchase their home-grown beef prod
uct. Yet steer or heifer beef fattened
at home Is better than beef brought by
rail many miles, and kept for weeks,
perhaps, on lee before it goes into the
hands of the meat retailer
, Color Blindness Increasing- '
"Color blindness is on the Increase,"
says a New York optical expert "The
causes of this defect In vision that
may be otherwise perfect are not very
well understood. It would seem that
the use of tobacco had a good deal to
do with it I have examined a great
many for color blindness, having on
several occasions been employed by
railroad companies to do so, and In
every instance where the man exam
ined was found to be color blln.1 he
was a user of tobacco. Women are
seldom afflicted in this way, hence It
must be caused by something that
men do which women do not What
cases exist among women will be found
to be Inherited from male ancestors. I
have never known a woman to be
color blind whose father was free from
the defect I am a smoker, and my
perceptions of color are unusually
good, so that it Is not Impossible that
a man may use tobacco without such
an effect, but I believe a large propor
tion of the cases are caused by to
bacco." " . i,
How to Meet Ill-Temper.
Ill-temper is a babtt, and grows with
every repetition, while it weakens with
lack of exercise. In dealing with a
ohlld. It Is now acknowledged by a
thinking people that to remove the
causes of fault or to check H in the bud,
is Incomparably better than to antag
onize It afterwards, for thus a good
habit is formed and an evil one hin
dered. And what Is thus true in child
nature Is equally so In all human na
ture. Sympathy, in its best sense, la a po
tent instrument in allaying this evil. If
we did but realize the mental condition
of the one we blame for giving way to
anger or irritability or fretfulness, we
should usually find more reason to
soothe than to condemn. i
At all events, most of us have proved
the futility of criticism on this point;
and the true appreciation which comes
from a wise sympathy will suggest
many far more potent methods.
Artels' Food.
The secret in making angels' food lies
In the baking of it. Sift one cup of flour
and one teaspoonful of cream tartar
several times through a fine sieve. Beat
the whites of nine eggs to a stiff froth,
and to them add one cup and a half of
sifted granulated sugar; mix carefully
into this, stirring constantly, the sifted
flour, and add one teaspoonful of ex
tract of vanilla. Pour this batter Into
an ungreased pan and bake In a slow
oven for forty-flve minutes. When
baked, turn the pan upside down on
something that will admit of the air
passing under It, and allow It to stand
until the cake falls from the tin. Ice
with white icing. Be careful In mak
ing this cake to have all the ingredi
ents as light as possible. . . , .
The Speed of Blood.
It has been calculated that assuming
the heart beats C9 times a minute at or
dinary heart pressure, the blood goes
at the rate of 270 yards in a minute, or
seven miles an hour, 168 mile a day,
and 61.320 miles a year.

"I have come, sir," he said pompous
ly, "to take you by the hand. I lave
long wished to know the author of
'Hannah Binding Shoes.' "
Now, Lucy Larcom happened to be
sitting. In her serene fashion, silently
by the window at that time, and Mr.
Wblttier turned toward her with the
courtly bow into which the Quaker
poet's simple manner could bend to
finely when he chose.
"I am happy," be replied, waving his
hand toward the lady In the window,
"to have the opportunity to present thee
