It'a a Little Wtg la Way, Bat Oai Calllaa? tor Bxeraiae for Ja as sent HsyeiiktlcH. WJien baying- an ax handle always select one that is made entirely from the sap wood or the heart wood, but never one that is made partly of each, for it will split along1 the line of union. Handles made from sap wood are mor.e elastic and better for chopping, and a" man will not tire or get sore so quickly when using one. 1 prefer those made from the heart wood for split ting, although they are not so durable. The' proper length and curve - of the handle depends upon the habit and method of chopping of the user. : With a long handle a man will strike a much harder blow, but with a short handle he will'strike oftener, so there is prac tically no difference in the work ac complished. . . The curve, too, depends upon the habit of the user. . A curved handle AX HANDLES AND AXB8. has no advantage over the one that is perfectly straight. Most people pre fer the curved, because they are ac customed to its use. ' As a rule the straight handle is more durable. The size of the handle depends upon the muscular development of the user. If it is too-small it will cramp the fingers, and if too large it will lame the hands and wrist. If one will examine the end . of a piece of wood he will see that it is made of layers, each layer represent ing the growth of one year. Wood splits much more easily alo.ng these lines than across them, bence wfien se lecting an ax handle, always choose one in which the layers are parallel with the. line of force, as shown in Fig. 1. If they are at right angles, as in Fig. 2, a few days use will cause the handle to tsplit along the dotted lines shown. The difference in quality in this respect is so marked that many) dealers sort their handles and make the price of one about double that of the other. In hanging an ax' considerable at tention should be paid to the kind of work which is to be done. For small wood hang an ax pointing in, as shown in Fig. 3. For very large trees hang it squarely across, or-at right angles to the handle, and for splitting, es pecially block wood, hang it out ac cording to Fig. 4." This "gives one a chance to strike a heavy blow, square ly across the block, using the whole bit of the ax, and without making a tiresome bend of the back with every blow. The relative position of the blade and handle may be changed by inserting a small wedge in the eye of the ax, either above or below the han dle, as occasion may require. Orange Judd Farmer. FACTS FOR FARMERS. It is not the abundance of land, but the thorough and skillful cultiva tion of it, that fills the 'barn with hay, the cribs with corn and the kitchen with plenty. ' The farmer with no inheritage but heaKh, with no riches but industry, and no ambition but virtue is sole king1 among' men, and the only man among1 king. . No farmer ought to undertake to cultivate more land than he can stock, and manage. It is better to till 50 acres well than 100 in a slovenly man ner. Industry, pru3ence and economy are essential to insure success in any business whatever. A regular system is also indispensably necessary, - and in none does this find a more appro priate lodging than in farming. A practical farmer, whose liveli hood depends. upon his calling, should make it the pinnacle of his world ly ambition to excel in it. If he neg lects his farm for almost everything else,, he is generally a miser both in interest and credit. Be not above your profession, and always consider it, as the best any man can follow. Never shrink from doing anything your business; calls you to do. The man who is' above his business will some day find his business above him. Cotton Plant ers', Journal. . Broom Cora la Sonthweit. ' Broom corn is a "cash crop," and, like other cash crops, has its favor able and unfavorable features. Its cultivation on a very large scale is seldom successful, but' if properly handled on a small scale, say from 15 to 85 acres for the average farmer, and especially on new land where the variety of sure crops is limited, it will prove to be as paying as almost any crop that can be raised.' Okla homa has early seasons and can mar ket the brush early in the season, when the highest pTrice is usually paid, and for that and other reasons should easily become a great source of the nation's supply of broom corn. Farmers? Review. , RESEEDJJfG PASTURES. Idvloe to a Farmer Who Waate to Restore Wora-Oat Graaa Land la Oae Seaeoa. . Sometimes an old, run-out pasture can be greatly improved by harrowing .thoroughly two or three times in early spring; then sow a mixture of seeds. The following might be used, although it is not customary to sow as much per acre under these -conditions as when a' well-prepared permanent pas ture is laid out: lied clover, six pounds; al&ike clover, "four pounds; Kentucky blue grass, Zya pounds; orchard grass, Z pounds; meadow fescue, 3 pounds; red top, 3 pounds; timothy, five pounds. . You might simplysow on blue grass, timothy and a Is ike clover in moderate quantities. After the seeds" are sown, roll. It would in crease the chances of success if some fertilizer containing a rather high per centage of nitrogen- was applied. Some times one can find damaged cottonseed meal, which makes a splendid fertil izer for pastures, as do also wood ashes, though the latter are seldom sold on a guaranteed anaylsis, and may contain much or a very little potash. We would not purchase them unless they wer guaranteed. However, we ad vise dividing the pasture and contin uing the use of the greater part of it while thoroughly preparing and, seed ing a few acres each year. Plow the ground this spring; sow peas and oats. Plow them under about the middle of September, fit the ground wellsow the seeds indicated above, roll and pas--ture light the first year. It may be said, too, that if the effort is' made to improve the pasture without re plowing, it will not succeed unless the field is pastured light the coming sum mer. If it is trampled over . and gnawed by too many cattle, many of the young plants will perish. It is pre supposed that a dairy herd is connect ed with this pasture. If so, one of the things 'to do is, to sell ten or 20 per cent, of the poorer cows. There are few- dairy herds from which the net profits would not be. increased by even giving away this 20 per cent, of in ferior and usually unprofitable ani mals. Country Gentleman. DURABLE BARN ROOF. One Mad to Carry a Traclc for a Hay Fork Shoald Be Steep and Well Built; . Almost any kind of roof structure may be made tcr carry a track for a hayfork. Hayforks and hay-carriers are operated most satisfactorily where the roofs are steep, third pitch or more, and the mows deep. The curb construction of roof, shown in the il lustration, carries the track high up, and in this day of economies it is best to make, the roof high and leave the extreme upper portion of the mow un filled. The steeper the roof the less thrust there will be on the plates and ROOF TRACK FOR HAY CARRIER. the easier will the load be carried. Rafters two by six-inch will be strong enough to carry an ordinary barn roof and the load of hay, since the track is attached to every pair of rafters, ancLthe rafters are but-16 inches apart. This distributes the load. If the. barn.' is small and the roof steep, two by four-inch rafters will be strong enough. The steeper the pitch the smaller - the rafters may be, other things being equal. Country ' Gentle man. THE GROWING OF RAPE. Farmers Are How Paying- More At tention to ThiB Really Valuable Orop Than 9frrer Before. At the meeting of "the Wisconsin Agricultural Experimental associa tion recently held in Madison a num ber of reports were given regarding experiments in rape growing the past season. As indicating the nature of these reports we give the following: Va riety Essex. The soil in which it was sown was a heavy clay; plowed in the spring and sowed broadcast immediately after oats were sown, about five pounds to the acre. The field was then harrowed and crushed, leaving the ground in fine tilth. The little plants began, to make their appearance June 20 and from that time on made good prog ress, but did not seem to interfere with the oats. The weather during the greater part of the growing sea son was exceedingly dry and the en tire crop suffered. The oats were cut the last week in July. In cut ting them the. machine was tilted so as to leave the stubble and rape plants about six inches in height. In a short time after the oats were re moved the rape came on very rapidly and in about three weeks it was fit for feeding purposes. The ground being at that time pretty well cov ered with fdYage we turned our cows onto it for about two hours each morning. The rest of the day they had the run of a good grass pasture. The milk from these ten cows' was sent to the creamery. We could not detect any taint in the. milk or did the man at the station. Later in the season on another piece of ground I sowed some rape if days after sowing the oats' and harrowed it, but this piece did not get a good start and did not thrive like that first sown, but, I think it was due to the fact that the season was exoeediTijTl.v dry during the time it should have been growing.
