Furlough and Leave of Absence. With the return of the volunteers from active duty the terms "furlough" and "leave of absence" have been em ployed frequently, and in many in stances improperly.

' Clover Falls on Clover Sod. Almost all -farmers know that it is not safe to plow a clover sod, or,. In fact; any other sod in the fall, and then sow wheat with the. expectation oi get ting a clover catch from seed . next spring. There have been various rea sons assigned for this, the old one be ing that the clover sod while it te rot ting in the soil "poisons" the land, for clover until the rotting is completed. But it Is quite as impossible to seed, with clover on any newly plowed sod, and that disposes of the clover-poisoning theory. The true explanation seems to be that when a-sod of any kind is de caying under the furrow it allows the soil above it to fall down, thus destroy ing the slight hold which the young clover plant has, and obliging it to re gain its hold before the leaf wilts and kills the root Clover win come up well enough on a clover or any other kind of sod, but unless there are al most constant rains daring the spring little of h will live. Even a timothy seeding does not do well on a newly plowed sod, though In young plants the proportion of leaf to root is much less in the grass than it is In any kind of clover. A Haying- Device.

Remedy for Fleas. I notice some one asks bow to rid a barn of fleas. It seems to be not gen erally known that salt will kill them. When I was a boy, father's place be came infested with fleas from pigs sleeping at the barn, and they nearly drove me crazy. I heard In some way that salt would kill them. I suppose I used a peck of salt, scattering it freely about the barn and house, and at the expiration of a week we could not tell that a flea ha ever been on the place. All gone. Since then I have cleared our home of them several times. One ap plication always does the work. I have also recommended It to others who have used it with equal success. Salt scat tered over a carpet and swept off before It melts will clean it of both fleas and dirt. I am never bothered with fleas now unless I get them away from home. 1 know there are many people who would willingly spend the price of a bar rel of salt to be rid of the pests, and salt is never failing.

Ptone Fences. While the stone fences common in all sections where stone abounds cost nothing for material, ' and with hard work are therefore within any one's ability to construct they are not usual ly very satisfactory. Horned stock soon learn that the top stones can be easily displaced and then the fence can be' jumped. -The best way to stop jumping is to place a barbed wire over the fence, fastening it to stakes firmly in the ground. It may seem cruel, but the stock must learn not to jump, and they won't get hurt But when sheep have learned to jump a low stone wall, even a barbed wire over it will not stop them. There must be several Wires, so close together that the 'Sheep cannot get their heads between. That wljl stop the first sheep, and no one of the flock will try to jump after the leader has turned back. V Straining: Milk. There are some points about strain ing milk that are not generally thought of, and therefore the milk is not wholly cleared of its bacteria. In the ' first place 'it is Important that the milk should be put through the strainer and set vrtiere its cream is to rise, as soon as posslble.after it comes from the cow. It often accumulates bacteria very rap idly If left in stables exposed to ;foul odors. Besides, if left long some of the cream will rise and will be so mixed with .the milk that what does not cling to the strainer i cloth or .wire will not rise as . ergidi-4ffx';'Thy-9tnta:et-should be: thoroughly washed by dip ping It first id cold wttter and moving It rapidly through both' ways, so; that bacteria will not adhere to the under side, as they are apt to do if the rinsing water is merely poured on the, strainer from above. Then repeat this process with water pretty, near scalding heat. In that way if there are any bacteria on the strainer they, will be killed. :; . A "Kept-Shut" Gate.

A stout spiral spring pulls the gate to, whichever way It Is opened, the spring being attached to the extended upper rail of the gate as shown in the sketch. Plant Lice. . As these Insects do not eat the leaves or buds, internal poisons like london purple or parls green, do not affect them, but something which kills by contact must be used. Perhaps the best and simplest of the remedies Is good whale oil soap solution. This Is made by dissolving one pound of a standard whale-oil soap in seven gallons of water. . The above is an extract from the Popular Edition of Bulletin 130, of the New York Experimental Station. Oth er remedies mentioned are kerosene, emulsion, kerosene water mixture, to bacco decoction, concentrated extract of tobacco, and pyrethrum or PeTslan insect powder. Spray from below, as the lice choose the under side of the leaves, and spray thoroughly. Vlck's Monthly. Sprouting Potatoes. ' While the sprouting of potatoes under ordinary conditions is very objection able, they may be so sprouted as to ma terially advance their earllness. This is done by placing them, stem end down, in single layers in shallow trays on the floor in a light and moderately warm room. Thus placed they will send out short, stubby, green sprouts, which will remain in that condition for weeks. Such potatoes, planted with out breaking the sprouts, will grow Im mediately and produce an early crop. Turns Upside Down. The quince roots so readily by bend ing over the top and covering it with earth that it Is easily possible to re verse the natural order and make the tree after two years live with what were its roots in the air. These roots will then put forth leaves, and the year following will bear blossoms and possi bly fruit. But for several years the tree set upside down will require to be propped, as the original growth was largest at the ground. Poison to Hogs. Towdered soaps, now so largely used by hotels and laundries, are Injurious to pigs if fed to them in swill.
