lUeh I.and For Weeds.
Any soil that will produce woods is
iu good condition, as only rich land
will produce some kinds of weed. One
of the surest indications of good soil
Is when pig weed nourishes. As the
land should not l>e required to produce
two crops at the samp time no
farmer should allow weeds to make
headway ai the expense of the regular
crop.
Sheep Like Oxeyed Dairies.
Sheep are very fond of the orteyc
daisy either as pasturage or hay, and
will cat them so closely as to kill
them out. In some parts of England
they sow the seed of tbe:n to make a
sheep pasture. Those who have fields
where they prevail might do well to
pasture them with sheep oue or two
seasons, then plow up and sow the
seed of better grass. We have eradicated
them by two seasons of liberal
manuring, keeping the land in hoed
crops and then reseeding. but they
would come in again as soon as the
laud became poor again.

A Handy Fodder Sled.
Hauling shocked corn fodder or cane
from the fields is a hard and tedious
iol> where the hauling is done with a
wagon and rack?the usual method.
Then, too. the tearing down of the
shock, the throwing of it upon the
rack and the unloading of it again
break off the leaves and dry stems.
A CHEAr FODDER SLED.
This job is greatly simplified and
much is saved in fodder and labor
If a sled is built for the hauling. The
runners of the sled are made of 1 by
fTs sixteen feet long. The standards
ji at each end are placed far enough
from the ends of the runners to bolt
cu braces b. The cross braces, c. are
made of 2 by S's. No tongue is re- J
quired unless the hauling is to be dona ,
on snow.
The sled is driven along the shock
row as near, as possible to the shock,
which is tipped over onto it without 1
breaking the tie band. The sled will
LolO from four to six largo shocks.
The fodder battled in this way is in
good shape for ricking if desired, ami
loses little if any in transportation.
This sled comes handy in many places
about ti e farm, saving much lifting
on and off wagons.?New England

When tlic Cows Pr.y*
The difference between a paying
and non-paying dairy cow is sometime^
so apparently slight that it is
not noticed bv the average person.
Here are two animals which look
almost identical. Both arc healthy,
good caters and good miikers. But
one has a persistent tendency to
? lit *1?? eo mill* nor rVlV
J?=l ....... . ......
than the other. r.ud if anything it is a
trifle richer in butter fats. Moreover,
-careful observation shows that ibis
cow keeps in milk a little lotiger than
the other. Now. these points could
not be noted without some attempt
at keeping accounts. The record of
every animal on the farm should be
kept daily, and in this way comparisons
can be made. Now, suppose one
cow thus gives about a quart of milk
a day mete than another, uud extendi,
the milking period over a much longer
time every season. This difference
added up and converted into dollars
and c ills would show at the end of
the year that one animal paid a good
nr.'iiit. while the other barely paid ex
penses.
This condition of affairs is just
-what can bo observed on many farms
to-day. The dairymen may be experts
in their line, and they have
brought the question of cost of feeding
down to the point where little
further improvement can l;e made.
Yet there is such a difference in the
relative yield of the animals that the
profits of one must be cut down in
order to make up for the deficiencies
of others. So extreme are these eases
sit times that there is a difference of
one-half some years between the actual
profits of two different dairy
cows. The difference is due entirely
to causes that can l?e remedied. Granting
that both are fed the same, and
very satisfactorily and economically,
the cause of the difference in the yield
must be found in the cows themselves.

The noise made by the burglar in the
Ferguson pantry, slight as it was, dis- i
turbed the light sleeper in the bed- '
room not far away, and the midnight
marauder was surprised a moment
later to find himself covered with a
big revolver in the hands of a deter- i
mined looking man in a long, white j
robe.
"I hain't done nothin' but eat a few
cold victuals, mister," stammered the
burglar.
"I see," sternly replied George Ferguson,
"you have been eating the re- (
mains of a strawberry shortcake my ,
wife made for dinner, last night. Do j

"Turn me over to the police, 1 i

with a ferocious grin. "I'm going to

A Novel I.tfe.
Life on an Australian station is ex- i
feeding novel and Interesting. Many !
of the station owners reside in sub-' '
.-tantial stone bouses, wbich are
equipped with all modern conveniences
and often luxuriously fur- ,
n.shed. Their children enjoy education
in England. France or German}',
and although the homestead may be (
U)t) miles from the railway and fifty I
from the nearest neighbor, the freedom
of existence oil.the broad plains
has ill is much to compensate for its (
isolation. The family is more likely
than not to spend the winters in Melbourne
or Sydney, the station being
[ carried on meanwhile by a manager, i
and a trip "home," as England Is al- 1
ways referred to. is undertaken every
few years. Visitors are received at
these stations with a cordiality unmatched
in any other part of the
world; whether introduced or not, any
tourist of refinement and discretion is i
warmly welcomed, and is at liberty to
star as long as lie chooses. During
h'o sojourn everything about- the i
house or station is at his service:
horses, traps, guns. tisuiug tackle, all
are indicated to him as his property
for the time being. Should he wear
out his welcome, and I have known

The Executions of the Pencil.

who scented to he fairly withering

don't you put sonic flowers and green

"I don't want you to eat them, understand."
for the patient -tared at him as
if she doubted his sanity. "They'll help
your appetite, though. See if they don't.
vXTp to last summer it never had occurred
.to n:c that flowers in a dining- *
roont served any other purpose than that
or decoration. Uut in a London hotel I I
met people who had studied the thing. |
and the head waiter gave me their
theory.
.""Yes. sir. certainly, sir.' this man
said, when 1 complimented him on the
appearance of my table and the room in
general*. 'We find it 'elps. sir. to trim
pretty hextcnsively. especially hin close
weather. Say that a gentleman?as it
might he yourself, sir?is almost hover"er.me
by the 'cat and doesn't care whether
"c heats hanything or not. But the
flowers and the greenery make the place
look cool, and then hinfluence 'im. sir.
they hinfiucnce him. Hafter a while 'e
feel- rested and rcfrcrhcd. and 'is happetitc
comes hack. We hestimate that
it's worth pounds to us to 'ave such
things 'ere on the table.'
"I believe the waiter was right, and
I've been recommending the (lower cure
ever since. There's just one warning to
add: don't overdo it. Use only one
kind of flower, and that in one color
only, at a time, and have plenty of green
stuff. A ro-c or two and a little smilax
will do more good than a 'Joseph-coat
bouquet'?as my wife calls the 'loud'
kind?as big as a water pail."?Youth's
