TRANSPLANTING GRAPE VINES Operation Will Be Successful If Work ls Done Properly-Good Time Is Early in the Spring. Grape vines can usually he trans planted; successfully, no matter what age, if the work is done properly. With vines as old as 15 years, it ?would be necessary to cut back the top severely and leave as much of a root system as possible. It may be somewhat difficult to take up a vine of that age as the roots have quite a spread. A large hole should be dug so that the roots will be at least six inches below the surface soil and they should be well spread out. Fine top soil should be well worked around the roots and firmed down ?with the foot. Transplanting may be done either in the fall pr early spring before the sap begins to flow. If it is not desired to move the older vines they can be propagated either by cuttings or by layering, and a large number of new plants secured at small expense. REPAIR OUTFIT ON WHEELS Portable Shop In Which Toots, Nails imd Innumerable Cher Things Can Be Placed Is Convenient. In doing small carpenter and repair jobs about the farm a lot of time is Work Bench and Tool 3ox. lost in hunting up mislaid tools, col lecting materials and the like. To remedy this I have a portable repair shop in which all kinds of tools, nails, bolts, nuts, washers, wire, a*nd innum erable other things are kept, writes Frank Ebercole o? Lecompton, Kan., in Farmers' Mail and Breeze. It also includes a work bencb. The wheels are from an old cultivator and any blacksmith caa cut down an old buggy axle to suit the width desired. Fasten the frame to the axle with U-bolts. Make the wor'i bench any length de sired and have the handles and legs at the end. The tool box has a roof over it, both sides being" hinged. FEEDING TROUGH FOR FOWLS Arrangement Described to Save Feed and Protect lt From Drop pings ar-d Other Filth. ThT^ro?Jorify of~poultry diseases are picked up with the food or take.i from the drinking pans. It is difii cuit to keep food clean and dry dur ing bad wea*her where it is thrown on the grouncr ?x even in litter. But this exposure is nearly overcome by using troughs wfch sU.tted sides and j detachable roofs. The trough can be ; from six to ten feet long, with the sides five inches high; the lath slats are two inches apart and the troughs sixteen inches from the floor to roof. The roof should project two inches on the sides to protect food from the weather. The rcof is easily removed by lifting one end and sliding it end wise on the opposite gable end on which it rests. The trough can then be filled and the roof drawn back in place without lifting it. This arrange ment saves feed as well as keeps it clean from droppings and other filth. PREPARE SOIL FOR ALFALFA important That Preparation of Ground Be Uniformly Good-Young Plant of Tender Nature. The tender nature of the young al falfa plant makes a well-prepared seed bed necessary. The root of the young plant strikes down immediately, and lt will be seriously injured if it strikes n. layer of dry, loose soil at the bot tom of an old furrow, or if the ground has many hard, unbroken clods'In it. A very good plan ls to let the ground settle for a few -weeKs before seeding. It is also important that the prepara tion of the ground be uniformly good, as th* poorly prepared spots are like ly to fall, and these bare places will form centers from which weeds will spread and perhaps injure the entire field. All soils are not adapted to the growing of all crops. Book farming is excellent, but actual experience ls tho real thing. ss.?
