Make the box of Inch boards; also make it tight, so that no mice or rats can enter. Put on hinges a_nd rasp hook' to the cater. Selection of Seed Improve- ment. Different seleceons of seed of various classes of grain have been carefully tested at the Ontario Agri- cultural College for ,from six to nine years. The average results show that even one year's selection of seed grain has a marked influence on the result- ing crop. In every instance, the large plump seed' gave a greater yield of grain per acre than medium sized, small plump, shrunken or broken seed. In the average of the six classes of grain, the large plump surpassed the small plump in yield of grain per acre by 19 per cent., and in the aver- age of the three classes of grain, the plump seed gavo a yield over the shrunken seed of 20 per cent. It should be understood that equal numbers of seed were used in this experiment. The results throughout show that a large plump seed will produce a larg- er, more vigorous and more produc- tive plant than is produced from a small plump or from a shrunken seed.

These iiistructions usually can be ob- tained at a very small cost from the maker and in no case should one at- tempt to operate without them.

A great edeal of success in raising early lambs lies with the care andwe feeding of the es during the time just previous to and just after the lambs are born. A sheep is not a difficult animal to raise or feed when the proper management is followed, in fact, I know of no animal that re- quires so little attention for the net return received for both the feed and labor put intociit. One practice we have always tried to follow with the breeding ewes was to provide them with stalk pasture all through the wniter. They do not do so well when kept housed all winter.

We have never Sound any feed that would answer this purpose so well as oats, because of their combined bulkiness and protein content.

Here is a phut 1 ;tee; and I find that it lengthens tho life of a handle several times. Get a spool of copper Wire, twenty -gauge prefeiably, and wind eight or ten inches of .the handle next to the ax tightly with it, as that is where most ax handles are broken. Drive n small nail in the handle, the distance you wish to wrap it, to a depth of half an inch, then withdraw the tail and cut off half an inch of the nail. Now put the end of the wire in the nen hole and drive the piece of nail in flush with the handle. Weep the wire tight and close to- ward the ax, first having made a hole clear through the hatidle close to the ax. When the wire reaches the hole cnt it off long ectottgit to put the end through the hole, But not this one. A tin washer, the kind used for putting on prepared roofing, had been drilled out to fit the spout. The slight depression on the upper side collects whatever oil spills, and when the can is again used it runs out. Sewing Grain Sacks. A bodkin or needle suitable for use with string or twine can he readily made from one of the openers that are used to open tin containers. The wire opened is straightened out and the ends rounded up with a file or on the grindstone that they may pass freely through the open weave of the sacking. This simple modification is so easy that a few of the openers can be put aside until such time as the bodkins are needed, when one or more may be straightened up and pointed for use. This is a simple detail. How- ever, it is most necessary when sewing the sacks, and is a hint worth re- membering for this need. Live Stock Sales in January. At the principal markets in Canada, reported by the market division of the Dominion Live Stock Branch, the volume of business transacted during January compared favorably with that oe the corresponding month of last year. The total sales of cattle at Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Cal - gory, and Edmonton were 59,407 ag•ainet 57,873, of calve 9,978 against 8,627, or hogs 11.9,393 against 111,879, and of sheep 24,480 against 80,719.

Here is a good plan to relieve the drudgery of Sunday night chores. Where there are several men on a stock farm, divide them into two groups. Then one group do the work one Sunday night and the other the next. ' This arrangement leaves everyone free for Sunday afternoon and even- ing every other week. A chance to get away is appreciated, especially by the boys and hired men, but Dad likes to take mother and go visit his friends without feeling that he has to hurry back to help milk. If there is an uneven number of men on the farm, say, for example, three, it could be handled this way. Call the men A, 13 and C. A and B will work one Sunday, B and C the next, and C and A the next, ete. Flickering Lanterns. It happens frequently that even a new lantern will begin to flicker after it has been burning for a short time, making a noise like the exhanst on a motor -boat, Some people are very rnuch alarmed at this and imagine that the lantern is about to explode. There is nothing dangerous in the flickering of a lantern. This is caused by water hi the oil font, which saalcs into the wick and prevents a perfect combustion.
