Li able and does not corrode when exposed
to the weather.
V For the seed bed clip from the end
of the seed package the strip bearing
the name of the variety planted. Slip
this Into the bottle, cork tightly and
wire to a stake ut the end of the row,
or If desired the bottle may be slipped
over the end of the stake, as showu
In the accompanying photograph.
For trees, shrubs, etc., the bottle Inclosing
a label written with indelible
Ink may be wired to a branch, twist'
ing the wire tightly around the neck
of the bottle and leaving a long loop
f4or the branch. Labels attached In

can thank their "stars" for being

EXPERIMENT FARMS' VALUE.
They Open the Eyes of Farmers to the
Possibilities of Their Land.
The demonstration farm is just as
necessary 10 me agriculturist as are uio
open air encampment and the sham
battle to the militiaman. The reading
of military tactics can never teach a
man either to stand steady under tire
or to capture an entrenched enemy.
m/gg We know this because of the many
instances where even a brief visit made
by some neighboring farmer to these
experimental farms has utterly changed
practices which have existed for
generations, practices which during
some seasons have'proved fairly successful
and which have caused absolute
failure only at intervals.
For example, shallow plowing got a
black eye during tho season of drought
when the farmers noted the result at

ing aided by frequent shallow cultivation,
a method which kept corn green
without wilt and produced a big crop
of fully filled ears, to say nothing of
keeping the potato plants green and
healthy until a normal crop was nia
tu red.
The early planting of such extremely
hardy vegetables as earrc:s and onions,
which with them assures a good start
I because of the invariably copious rainfall
of early spring, was only adopted
when dry weather sot in earlier than
usual, and wo by thiS method had assured
ourselves a crop. In like manner
the spraying of fruit trees annually,
systematically and thoroughly was
only brought about in the neighborhood
by the extremely healthy appearance
of the small demonstration orchards
at the experimental stations,
the farmers saving little, brif being
quick to note the dark green of the
foliage and the handsome appearance
and juiciness of the highly flavored
fruit.?H. It. Fullerton in Craftsman.

STRONG FARM SLED. j
Km sily uilt and Substantial Without
Tenons or Mortises.
A writer in the Rural New Yorker,
from which the picture shown here-1
with is taken, says that every farm
should be provided with one or more
goods sleds, and one built as shown
in the drawing will prove very satisfactory.'
It is easily built and subIstantial,
as there are 110 tenons to
make nor mortises, both of which require
much labor and seriously weaken
the sled. The frame of tlie sled is
made of 1 by 4, excepting the blocks
marked X, which are 4 by G by 10
inches. Upon these blocks rest the
crosspieces A A A, and upon these
the upper part of the sled frame rests,

inch bolts. Resides the bolts, spikesj
should be driven through the blocks X;
to prevent their turning should the,
bolts become loose. Next come the,
diagonal brace B and the crosspiecet
at the rear end of the sled just be-i
hind the standards. The top of thai
sled may be floored over If desired.'
The tongue is bolted loosely on top of1
the front erossplece and braced with;
chains or heavy strap iron braces.;
Iron soles should be used if possible,,
and good ones are easily made of old!
wagon tires. I
This sled, as described and shown In,
I diagrams, snouiu give sniisiacioryj
service, but it may bo made higher if
desired, though greater height is not)
needed unless to he used in stony or
stumpy fields. Crosspieees XXX
may lie 2 by 0 Instead of 4 by 4, when
two bolts at each joint can be used
and the diagonal brace B be dispensed
with. The bottom of the sled frame is
nine feet long, and the top from standard
to standard is twelve feet.
The place of the thinking farmer
is just the opposite to that ef the
"let well enough alone" man. The
fertility of his farm, the yield of his
crops and the general appearance
of his place improve every year.
We understand that Mr J W
Sparks will shortly install an upto-date
machine and foundry plant
I at his place of business ou Oik
street. This will supply a lcn^ felt
want.
Prom prosed^, appearances there
will be a?^up?r abundance of all
kinds of fruj^ in their seasou.
