" Cutting rotato Made Four.
The preparation Jof no farm seed
causes more trouble than that of the
potato 'crop. It Is a slow, tedious task
and must.be done by hand. This Is
usunlly " done , by placing the potato
upon a boqrd and cutting It in the size
desired. Now this task may be great-
alleviated by the use of a device that
Is not new. It Is simplicity Itself, con
sisting only of a plank, a, ten or twelve
jut-lies lu width and two feet In length,
nd a knife, b, driven lu one end equal
ly distant from either side. This Is
placed upon a box," or stool,' and the

How to Fet a Hen. - ,
Very few people know how to set a
hen properly. In the first place, re
member that you can't-make her set If
jhe doesn't want toj Cut a barrel in
two in the middle; then cut out one or
two staves, so that when, ils stood on
ts enu mere win oe plenty ot room for
the lion to pass in and out. Tlaee the
barrel on the ground.-witli the headed
nd up, and then scoop out the eartfi
to a concave, shape and. put In a very
little fine hay, and the nest Is ready
for the eggs. If It la not convenient to
put the barrel on the ground, a grass
sod placed underneath the nest will
nswer. It Is best to place the hen on
few glass or worthless eggs at first,
S she may not take kindly to the nest
oil have prepared for her. Tlnce Tier
an the nest after dnrk nnd she will get
customed to It through the uiglit. If
she seems Inclined to set after this, she
may be given the eggs which are la
nded to be hatched. If the hen Is
allowed to leave her nest every day a
small coop may be placed in front of
(lie barrel, and then she will be sure to
return to nest. She should always
have plenty of fdod. If the above di
rections are followed ami the eggs are
ell fertilized, a good brood of chickens
may be expected. Ex.
Potato Fcab.
For treating seed potatoes with cor
rosive sublimate solution to prevent
cab. make a basket as follows: Take
rec strong iron hoops, 17 Inches la,
diameter, with holes punched every 3
Inches. Inside of these fasten com
mon laths. 28 Inches long, with small
holts. Place the bottom hoop 1 inch
from cihi of latns; make the bottom
from a 1-lncb board sawed circular, 10
Inches In diameter, ami fasten to the
end of the laths with nails. Iiore sev
eral holes In this bottom. Make a bail
from a strong piece of wire and fasten
to top hoop.. Suspend liy a rope pass
ing through pulley overhead. When
filled with potatoes It can be easily
raided and lowered Into a 50-gnllon
kerosene barrel containing the solution,
liaise from, the barrel and allow to
drain for a short time, when they ca
bo emptied Into tho potato boxes. By
this method none of the solution Is
wasted, and It is a short cut compnred
with the old way of tying a suck over
the bnrrel and draining the solution
from the potatoes.
WondchnpiilnE In cprlnr.
. It Is too hard work to do much chop.
ping after warm weather comes, whll
In Kero weather tho exercise of swing
ing the ax and bringing down the tree
la rather a delight than otherwise. But
after the sap starts In the trees it
easier to chop or split them than
midwinter. A very knotty and tough
tree may therefore be left standing un
til nature nns tilled it run or sap,
though tho wood will dry out slowly,
If beech wood Is cut while full of sap it
must be kept under shelter, for If ex
posed to rains water will soak In ns fast
as the sap dries out. Hprlng 'Is the
worst time of year to cut wood and
have It kept wet, and the abundance
of sap It contains Is probably tho rca
son. Most timber will keen best If cut
In July or August while the tree Is In
leaf. The leaves continue to evaporate
moisture after the tree Is down, and
this soon makes the wood dry.
Outdoor Nesta.
Of course In winter nests are made
In the henhouse. Hens are not apt to
be broody In cold weather,- and the
short time the hen is laying her dally
egg does not cause vermin to breed In
It. ' But so soon as warm days tempt
the fowls out of doors they should be
encouraged to nest outside. About this
time too fowls will become broody, and
If nllowed to nest In the henhouse they
will Inevltobly 1111 It with vermin. If
the outdoor nest Is made on the ground
the moisture arising from the soil will
keep the shell In good condition for the
chick when hatched to pick Its way
through. Most hens If nllowed any
range will steal their noHis, and gener
ally bring off a larger hatch of chicks
than those for which the poltry keeper
has carefully set the eggs.
Butldlnsr ftone Piers.
Country places are much Improved
by entrance posts of cobble stones, but
to be attractive these must be laid up
Pi
with great exact
ness. Excavate to
the frost line, and
setup In the square
excavation a box
1 I lr a striintiifa rf
iHSif-f boards, one side
';Y coming only to the
rgs surface. Fill In to
.tfi the top of the
'"' . ground with loose
rock and soft cement soft enough to
run Into all the -wet-Ices between the
stones. From the ground up the stones
hotild be laid up carefully in cement,
the sides of the box permitting the
stones to be pushed out to make an ex
actly even surface. When the top Is
renched the three hoards can be sawed
oft at the surface of the ground, leav
ing the bottom of the pier encased,
which will keep the frost from getting
ny lifting -power on the stones. It will
lift the boards rather than the stones,
When the boards are removed from the
portion above ground, can fully dig out
the loose cement from between the

It sometimes happens thnt the farmer
finds even before his orchard gets to
benrlug that a large part of the trees

much profit. Regrafllng to better sorts
Is a very laborious and expensive proc
ess lr tue tree8.nave grown to nearly
bearing size, because so many grafts
must be set to make an even head. A
few sprouts may be left below the
grafts to draw the sap, but they must
be cut away as soon as the grafts get
to growing. A better way Is to take a
few years to do the grafting, putting
In two or three grafts each spring, un
til the entire head Is changed. So much
cuttiug away of the top wood will
cause many sprouts to start. These
must be destroyed ns fast as they ap
pear, rubbing them off while the green
shoot can be removed with the thumb
and finger.
Oatmeal for Younsr fhlcken.
Laying hens ennnot profitably be fed
with whole oats because they have too
large a proportion- of hull and are too
chaffy to dlpest well. But oat meal
that has had Its hull sifted out of it
and has been mixed with pressed cur
dled milk mnkes nn excellent feed for
young chickens. Another good way to
feed oat meal Is to mix with water and
bake It, breaking the hard pieces small
enough so that the chicks can swallow
them. These feeds supply all that Is
needed to make chickens grow thriftily,
nn there will be few sickly chickens
if oatmeal prepared in either way ia
nade a part of their diet. If variety
Is needed feed some whole wheat or
rye. Whole grain or meal which has
been baked until It is hard is better
than any soft food for fowls at any
age.

On July 1, ISilS, when the battlo at El

The Spanish soldiers censed their, fir

commotion among them. Presently
this commotion resolved Itself luto a
rush of several soldiers out of , .the
trench and lu the direction of the pig.
CAl'TCIIINQ TUB KUN A WAT.
Soon there were fifteen of them out In
the open, in the full sweep of . the
American fire.
Some of them ran to head off the pig
and others pushed up behind to catch
him. The pig wheeled nnd dodged, and
the soldiers wheeled and dodged after
him. Their voices rose In chorus of
Spanish shouts. I'p and down went
the pig; when a soldier's lr Is wore
on him lie would make a .'ist ana
wriggle himself away.
Once he mnde a long straight ruti to
ward the American lines; it did not

him, entirely uuregnrding the battle.
Some of them headed him off again,
and In another moment nn athletic

his way back to the trenches, riding on
the shoulder of this young man, his
forelegs gripped by one hand and his
hind legs by the other.
The soldiers resumed their places In
the trench; the one who hnd the pig
put him back into the thatched roof

own place and took up his gun.
It Is safe to sny thnt during the chauc

saw the affair discharged his gun at
