CHOOSIXTG AX HANDLES.
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

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.

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

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.
