Most premises hare old leather traces about, and a number of parts of harness, such as breast, pole and holdback straps, ! can be made of these, by one bandy at j such work. Select a piece long enough ' for a breast strap, fasten a snap at one end; 18 or 20 Inches from this snap cut away all bat the best outside ply. rivet a buckle, punch a number of holes, and there you are. The pole and holdbacks CLAMP FOR LEATHER WORK. may be made from old light traces. A belly-band tor chain harness would have a large loop at one end Instead of a buckle. A back band for plow harness may be made from old leather or rubber belt ing. The leather belting. If pretty fair, will make good traces. These hints are not for repairing val uable new harness. One should be very careful about riveting on these. The il lustration shows how I made a clamp for sewing harneaa from two kerosene bar rel staves fitted in block so the bolts will draw at least one-fourth Inch. This makes it clamp the work at top. Use two three-eighth-inch holts. This clamp. If properly made, will hold any part ot the harness while being sawed. Orange Judd Farmer. IMPROVING SEED CORN. experiments Demonstrate That Se lection Is an Important Factor In Securing Good Crops. In the Year Book of 1902 Prof, a P. Hartley gives the result of six breeding experiments made to Improve corn by seed selection. A stalk of Pedrlc Qolden Beauty corn, producing exceptionally broad leaves, was fertilized with pollen from the same plant, and the seed from the resulting ear produced plants exhibit ing the same character. The seed from these plants produced broad-leaved plant. In one experiment three Abort and very leafy stalks of tall-growing white dent corn were oross-pollinated one with another.. The resulting seed produced plants resembling the parent stalks. The test ot seed ears varying in the percentage of shelled corn showed that each seed ear transmitted Its character In this respect to Its offspring. Another test ot seed ears showed that, the longer the seed ear, the greater was the average length of the ears produced. Experiment have been mad to test the extent to which the size of the germ can be transmitted. The results almost without exception showed the germs, of the progeny of the large germed ears to be plainly larger than those of the progeny cf the small germed ears. The individuality of kernels was studied by planting red and white ker nels from a spotted ear of White dent. About one-half of the ears produced had kernels like those planted, and the rest of the ears were white. In a second test of this kind various kernels of a hybrid ear followed the same rale ot transmitting their Individual eh exac tors. Bow to Tan Sheep Pelts. A writer In Practical Tanner gives the following: The process Is simi lar to that of tanning furs. Wash the pelt la warm soapsuds till the wool is cleansed thoroughly; rinse well and soak for one day In a solution of alum and salt, eight ounces of each In suf ficient warm water to cover the pelt, rain well, stretch on a board and when half dry sprinkle the flesh side with equal parts pulverised alum and saltpetre. Fold together and let It re main indoors for a week, turning twice a day to get the alum and salt petre equally upon all portions of the skin. When well dried rub well with pumice stone, which will make the hide very soft and whit. The edges may now be trimmed to suit the taste. Pelt tanned In this way can be used for laprobes. When, to Teed the Fowls. Ped at regular hours, giving th lightest meal in the morning, a it la better to have the fowls a little hungry rather than overfed, so as to Indue them to work for scattered grains. It la not advisable to feed at noon. The heaviest feed for poultry should be at tdght, as rest and quiet favor diges tion, while a full stomach Is the best protection against cold during winter nights. If any corn Is given. It should be at night. In winter it will be all the better if it is warmed and some of it charred. At night, when exercise to Impossible, no unnecessary burden should be placed on the system. In the morning it is better to feed poultry with grain scattered among straw, thus compeHlng them to scratch for it Salt should be in constant supply. Sheep like good, clean and warm Quar ters to winter and plenty of good tod der. CORRESPONDENTS' CORNER. Philomath.

A homestead is not exempt from seizure under the mechanics jlien lav according to a decision made by Judge G orge in the cir cuit court at Portland recently. Judge George said : "The t heory of the mechanics law is that if an owner allows a contractor to build or repair a house on the owners ground, to be and become a part of the realty, the owner cannot 'hold the material or labor thereon for the owners bene fit to the realty, unless the m i- terial, man or laborer is paid for j the benefit rendered. This isj equity, and the homestead law ought not to be permitted in equity to overturn this principle aud thus permit the homestead j land to be benefitted, something or nothing, unless the homestead law clearlv means it."
