HANGING-SHELF FOR CELLAR Curtain Hung Around Fruit Jars Excludes Dust and Keeps Out Flies to Great Extent. (Dy J. WKKI.KV OHIFFIN.) We used to wrap all of our glass fruit jars with paper to exclude the light. Now we have a curtain hung K v^uX-?li-ir-. . X ^ ^rttrtirr^ Hanging-Shelf. around the shelf as shown by the dotted lines in the drawing. It is tacked along each side joist to the edge of the center Joists. What light gets in between the joists amounts to nothing and the arrangement makes a good ventilation for the closet. Try u curtain around the cellar shelf and see how well the fruit keeps. It also keeps out dust and (lies to a great extent. The Gipsy Brown Tail. Every farmer should take pains to learn to recognize at sicrht the vnrinnu stages of (lie gipsy brown tall and many other of our insect pests, and they should lie instructed by the state how to manage the war against them. If farmer A keeps his orchard and trees free from brown tails and neighbor 11 just over the fence leaves a lot of these pests on somo of his trees that are out of the jurisdiction of the town or state, how can farmer A expect to get ahead In his tight against the pest? The well filled silo forestalls dry pasture wowy, One and one-half bushels of wheat are ample to sow an acre. Tho successful farmer finds weeding to do In the flocks as well as tho fields. You can find many chunks of wood about tho farm. Save them all for tho stove. Every weed that Is killed before going to seed makes next year's flehl the cleaner. Manuro that is spread upon tho fleltf will not waste Its fertility. This Ih not the case with the piles In the barnyard.
