When a team gets stalled with a
heavy load and tbe driver usee every
means of persuasion, from the whip to
bad language, to urge the horses to
start the wagon, nearly every passer
by has a feeling o f sympathy for the
animals and a desire to caution the
driver against cruelty. A more prac
tical thought than these has entered
the miud of a Missourian, resulting In
tbe Invention of a fiimple apparatus,
which can be carried on every wagon
for use In emergency of this kind. In
stead of “ putting his shoulder to the
wheel” the driver w ill get out his
wrench, secure It lo position and ex
ert his strength at the end o f the long

lever, lifting and rolling the wheel out
o f the rut or up the grade. The ar
rangement consists o f a pair o f hook
members, which engage tbe hub and
are adjustably secured to the arms piv
oted to the lifting lever. The latter
has a tilting shoe, which engages the
face of the wheel as pressare Is exert
ed on the level. The device w ill fit
any diameter o f wheel by loosening
the cams which connect the arms with
the hooks, and adjusting tbe latter at
the proper length. By placing the hook
ends on the ground and the* cud o f the
lever beneath the axle this device can
also be used as a wagon jack td re
place the one which teamsters usually
carry. ’s

Another thing we general farmers
ought to do, and that Is set out'm ore
forest trees. Did yon notice the story
o f that old walnut bridge in Indiana
that a certain company wanted so bad
ly that they were w illing to pot up a
good steel bridge in the place o f It?
The wood, they thought, would be
worth more than the steel bridge. And
the men who controlled the walnut
bridge refused the offer. Now, this
state o f affairs is likely to continue.
Our forests are vanishing, and unless
you and I, the general farmers o f the
country, get right down to business
and plant trees the day Is near at hand
when fencing and building material
w ill be worth almost as much as gold.
Every farm ought to be turned into a
little forestry station. W e can easily
get the seeds o f such trees as are In
digenous to our locality and plant
them. Tim e w ill do the rest, and some
day the world w ill thank us for doing
what we did.—Up-to-Date Fanning.

The Mythical Corn W h ea t
Tbs Department o f Agriculture at
Washington reports that an enormous
number o f letters see being received,
from farmers In aH parts o f the coun
try, asking for definite Information
concerning a so-called new grain des
ignated as “ corn w h ea t” Samples for
trial, are aaked by moat o f these In
quirers. The .department saya that
these letters are obviously the'result
of widely published untruthful news
paper articles. The department au
thorizes the statement that there la no
such thing as “ corn wheat,” and that
It is not probable corn and wheat can
talnty, If they were, that the hybrid
would not be fertile. The grain which
has caused the furor, the department
says, Is known correctly as Polish
wheat, although the grain Is not a na
tive of Poland, as the name suggests.
Its original home Is In the Mediterran
ean region- The heads and grains of
this wheat are very large, the grains
being, In many cases, twice as large as
those o f ordinary w h eat The state
ment that it ylelda from sixty, to 100
bushels per acre, howeyer, Is an ex
aggeration, although there m ay be In
stances in Idaho and Washington,
where the ordinary wheat yield
Is
large, where the crop may be sixty or
seventy bushels per acre.
The experiments made by the de
partment with the Polish wheat have
generally shown that the yield la dis
appointing. The new wheat has been
grown, except experimentally, In but
few places In this country. From .the
experiments so far made the Inference
la that the grain may be very good as
a hog food. Bnt Polish wheat Is much
restricted In Its adaptability,, and, the
department says, cannot be successful

pects are, at least,
encouraging. One o f the best classes
of onions for profit is the Southport
Globe, illustrated herewith. The im
proved strain o f glebe onions was
given the name Southport, and both
the white and yellow sorts are su
perior to the old globe varieties. The
red Southport does w ell In many sec
tions, but is not so reliable as the red
Weatherfleld.
Both the white and
yellow Southports are o f good size,
most attractive In appearance and are
excellent keepers. Both are also late
sorts and heavy ylelders. The South-
port Globes are w ell worthy o f atten
tion on the part o f onion-growers.

The heavy work season o f the farm
nearly always occasions galled or sore
shoulders o f work horses. Here is a
simple and cheap way to prevent this:
“ Take an ordinary sweat pad and
cover the surface next to the shoulder
with white soft oilcloth. Be very care
ful to have It put on very smooth,
without any wrinkles or lumps on Its
surface. The cover Is put on by neat
ly sewing It with strong thread, so that
it w ill not become displace^.
The
trouble with the horses’ shoulders In
thi* respect Is caused by sweating, and
ns,the<olleloth presents a cool, dry sur
face and does not hold the dampness
as leather or cloth does. It prevents the

The Farmers’ Protective Association
of Central New York Is making trouble
for tbe canning factories in setting
prices for which the members are w ill
ing to grow their produce instead o f
taking the prices offered, as heretofore.
The scale adopted is considerably in
advance o f what was received by farm
ers last year.
Some factories have
granted a slight increase. , In Mary

flict between growers and packers o f
