-w--v mm The AVlieelburrow. The vlllace resident soon comes to find the wheelbarrow a very Indispeu sable article. The cut, which is from the American Agriculturist, shows how one Village resident extemporizes a hay rack out of his wheelbarrow when desiring to get into the stable two or three hundred pounds or so of hay. Narrow strips of board are lightly tack ed to the surface, as shown, and the hay cart Is ready. It will surprise any one to see the large quantity of hay that one can thus easily and quickly wheel away from his grounds to the sold In the fall in pits. This Is especial ly Important for the potatoes required for seed. While the ground was si. .1 frozen we covered the potato heaps with straw, so as to keep it frozen as louj; as possible. I'otatoes that can be kept from sprouting until planting time produce much the best crops. Ex change. Care of Grain Drills. The grain drill is quite too expensive to be allowed to remain out of doors ex posed to the weather when not in use. It should be carefully cleaned rroiu nit dirt, and those especially with a fertil izer attachment should be scoureu iu take off the rust from use, and then coated with grease to prevent the air from getting to the metal. Most grain drills rust out rather than wear out. They are used, even where fall grain Is sowu, only a few days in the spring and fall, and ought to last a lifetime with few repairs, If they are properly sheltered when not in use. THE CARETAKER. Feeding for Milk. Feeding the cows to increase the flow of milk should uot entail additional ex pense If the farmer uses judgment in tinnincr the various foods. If grain, linseed meal and other concen trated foods are given In excess, the dl gestion may be impaired, and if hay is mostly given the animals win ue com belled to eat large quantities of it to ue- cure the desired nourishment. I'oous should consist of both concentrated and bulky substances, regulating the pro nortlona according to the couuitions and circumstances. Caretaker is a word adopted into modern use and means one who takes care of, and is very generally applied to those employed to take care of things committed to tueir keeping. The way some people have of taking care of themselves is very suggestive of the need of a caretaker. The human bouv to such is a mansion tilled with pre cious tilings uncared for, where thieves niav break in and mst doth corrupt. Pains and aches are thieves, and the body lets uncared for to their spoilage will be robbed of all its comforts and despoiled ol its peace of mind and happiness. It is a .happy thought to look upon St. Jacobs Oil as a carelaKer, to employ ii a wo..... against such intruders. There is hardly an ache, ironi a tootnucue i a that it can't take care of and effect a cure. and pains the most violent are conquereu bv its use. its oince as a luremui prevent the spread of aches and pains into u chronic stage.

Let the stalks first be piled cross-ways of the bottom strips. Then the other way. t upplemcnting Ensilage. There are all kiuds of ensilage, vary ing, of course, with the material put Into the silo. There Is no magic in the silo to add to the nutrition of what is put into It, though it may add to the nutritive value by making it more di gestible. Much of the ensilage from corn fodder Is deficient in nitrogenous forms of nutrition. It needs to be sup plemented, not necessarily with richer ensilage, but preferably with dry food. Instead of trying to ensilage clover. which is difficult because It heats so rapidly, It is better to cure It and feed three to five nounds of good clover hay to all animals whose main ration Is corn ensilage. If clover cannot be had, use wheat bran or oats. Both linseed meal and cotton-seed meal may be given with good results to animals fed on corn ensilage. If possible some straw or hay should be, given with these to Increase their bulk and pre vent them from compacting In 'the stomnch. Com is not a good supple ment to corn ensilage, as It also Is so largely carbonaceous, But corn and oats ground together and fed with cut hay or stray make a very good supple- mentary feed.

The outdoor crop of spring lettuce mav be made several days earlier by sowing the seed In some sheltered place late In fall. It Is not likely that if sown now any of the lettuce will come up this fall. A few leaves scattered over the bed will keep the seed from Injury, and It will sprout and grow with the first warm weather In spring. Almost every one has seen self-sown lettuce on the beds where It was grown and went to seed the previous year. It Is much more forward than spring-sown lettuce can be had In the same locality.

Brisk rubbing with soft woolen cloths is excellent for giving the hair a silky, glossy appear ance, and is an excellent thing ior tue skin. Full-Planted Trees. As fall rains are coming on some care Is needed to trees lately planted. Very often the earth used to fill around the trunk sinks away, leaving a hollow, which carries the rains down among the roots. As these in newly planted trees are dormant during winter, this ! water does them much injury. It Is al- wavs best to draw up earth around newlv planted trees. This Is a protec tion against attacks of mice if the earth Is closely compacted. The earth should be pulled away from the trees lu the spring. SPP Grain Cheaper than Hay.

Bobert Hichens, whose "Flames" pro duced a momentary sizzle as it dropped into the ocean of fiction, has written another novel. It bears the title, "The Londoners." Miss Violet Hunt's novel, "Unkist, Unkind!" named after a phrase from Pee-le, is shortly to appear. The same Is true of Mrs. Mannington Caffyn's "Miss Becher," a social study. James Otis, the Industrious maker of Juvenile tales of adventure,' sen out two historical stories for boys this sea anii. Thev nve called "The Boys of Fort Schuyler" and "The Signal Boys of ;75." J. Edward Newberger of Chicago" Is the author of a thoughtful pamphlet ou "The Development and Growth of Interference by the Federal Courts In Controversies Between Master and Servant." James Schoulur, having finished the manuscript of his "Constitutional stud ies," has turned his attention to the long promised sixth aud concluding volume of his "History of the United States," embracing the period of the civil war. It is hoped that this will be ready for publication next year. Ernest Daudet, with the untiring lit erary activity that distinguishes him, Is at work on several books. 1 he nrst to a,ppear iu all probability will be a volume dealing with the Due d'Aumnle, and consisting largely of personal rem iniscences, M. Daudet having been ou intimate terms with the late Duke. Emlle Zola's "Paris," announced as among the forthcoming publications of the current season, will not appear In book form until early In 181)8. The translator has entered Into an agree ment with one of the leading London weeklies for its serial Issue In 'Great Britain. The volume will be slightly shorter than "Ixiunles," and will be divided Into five books, each of five chapters. Mr. Vlzetelly says: "It will probably come as a surprise to the crit ics and readers of M. Zola's more recent works. It will be a genuine novel, with no dissertations and no digressions. From llrst to last It will be brimful of life and action, at the same time pre senting a klaeldoscopic picture of all classes of the Parisian community at the end of the nineteenth ceutury. A friend who has recently visited S. It. Crockett at St. Andrews, says or him: "He has two type-writing ma chines of unusual size and strength that Ue had made especially for his own use at a cost of $500 each, and he works ou these at lightning pnee. But that Is not nil-he will carry on a gen eral conversation wWh a rpouiful of people while he Is writing out a story on the machine. Now, 1 have nearu compositors talk while setting type, but they were merely copying, whereas Mr. Crockett was writing out original matter. Usually he works alone, be gliwilug nt about 0 o'clock In the morn ing, and wheu he comes down to break fast at 9 he has 5,000 words written out. lie seems to be Inexhaustible nnd Is certainly Indefatigable. He Is six feet four inches tall, weighs 280 pounds, nud Is as nimble as a cat." Gen. Lew Wallace lias been silent since the publication of his "Prince of India." The announcement of a new book from h'.s pen Is, therefore, news Indeed. It Is called "The Wooing of Malkatoon: Coin modus," and contains ... .. i ... i r wo poems, with l..usiraiions uy r. v. i PuMond and J. R. Wegueiin. "ine Wooing of Malkatoon" !s a love story, he scene of which Is lu the orient. The hero, a chivalrous youth, while on the chase, meets his fate. Acting under conditions mKsed by the maid s fath er, he goes forth Into the wor.d to do and dare that which will secure him her hand. "Comniodus" Is a play founded upon a dramatic Incident In the time of Rome's greatest power and glory. Maternus, a slave who had lib erated himself, gathered about him a band of freebooters that flnal.y reached Rome, Maternus being slain after a vnin attemixt to kill the Emperor and capture the throne. Chrysanthemums. Perfection of chrystauthemum cul ture Is to have them retain their leaves healthy as long as possible. If the plants lose their leaves early the bloom will be small. Sometimes the lighter leaves ore attacked by a parasite fun gus which causes them to drop off early. On the first appeorance of the pasnslte the leaves should be synngea with copper sulphate solution. Some times these attacks nre encouraged. by allowing the leaves to become wenk for want of good food, for, although it Is not Impossible for fungus pnraslte to nttnek healthy vegetation, It is also true that they attach themselves more readily when the plant Is weak. Man ure water, or a surface dressing of manure, Is the precaution to bo taken nirnlnst this result.
