' New Method Developed by Student of Oregon Agricultural College. A new method of budding walnuts Inas been developed by E. J. Kraus of the Oregon agricultural experiment :station. Buds one year old are used, those found just below the current year's growth. Only plump buds that have remained dormant are employed. It is also possible to use buds from edam wood cut during the winter or very early spring, when it is in a per- fectly dormant condition. If such ecious are placed iu moist sand for a couple of weeks before the budding is Lluue the buds may be removed quite easily. In making the hinge bud a trans- verse incision about half an inch long is made about one inch above the sur- face of the soil and a similar one about three-fourths of au inch above the other. The two are then convected - with a longitudinal incision which forms the completed "I" cut on the stock. The bud, which is rectangular and of exactly the same length as the dis- tance between the two transverse cuts ou the stock, is removed from the bud stick by first making two transverse cuts of the proper distance apart to give the correct length to the bud and then connecting these two by longitu- dinal cuts about half an inch apart. The bud proper should be approximate - TOO MUCH WHEAT LOST. Improper Cutting and Shocking Result In Unnecessary Waste. A. great deal of wheat is wasted be improper methods of caring for the grain after it is eut. Careless baud' easily may waste more than their wages during harvest. The "binder man" should be careful in driving so that he may not "cut and cover" or leave strips of uncut wheat as he drives across the field. Many carloads of wheat are lost in Kansas every year by such poor driving. Be careful when cutting the backswath also. Many grain raisers think that the backswath Is not worth saving be- cause of small heads, and they fre- quently do not go to the labor of cut- ting the wheat along the edges 0f the field. While it is true that the heads frequently are not so well developed as the heads farther out in the field, the backswath always should be cut. Wheat that is cut with a binder should be shocked in medium size shocks, which always should be capped with two bundles. It pays to cap wheat shocks. Break the heads and butts of the cap bundles before they are placed on the shocks and then place them at right angles to one t, 1 an- other. Smooth and settle them firmly in place before you leave the shock. Pick up all the loose wheat near the shock, and if there is enough to make STACK THE WHEAT AS SOON AS rr IS CURED. eveu a small size bundle bind it by hand. If there is not, put it in the shock between a couple of bundles. If any of the cap bundles are blown off the shocks go over the field care- fully and put them back. When the wheat is cured and ready to stack. stack it. It never pays to wait for a thrashing machine that "may be here the first of next week." There is not much labor saved by thrashing from the shock anyway. when tbe wasted time of the hands when the machine is stopped is con- sidered, and it never pays to let the wheat stand in the shock after it is ready to stack. Too many things an happen to the machine. When the machine does come get some men that have some intelligence to pitch the grain into the feeder. 1r the grain is fed into the machine with the heads first in a steady. uniform rate the concaves of the machine can be tightened up so the wheat may ho knocked out of the heads better. The grain can be separated from the straw much better also if the machine is carrying an even load all of the time. And, finally, have some wheat haulers that can get that grain to the bin with- . out leaving a trail of grain behind them. Most haulers don't have that ability.—Kafisas Industrialist.

The bud Is then easily removed by inserting the back of the knife blade gently un- der one corner of the piece of bark and prying up, when it will be found that tt will part readily from the bud stick. As soon as the bud is removed from the bud stick it should be inserted into the stock immediately.

The present grounds comprise 15 acres of clea- ed and well prepared ground. with a splendid building for the display of roots and vegetables, grates in the sheaf, with a portion reserved for the display of women's work. Dealing with the much-discussed soil of theclaybelt, J. L, Englehart. tbe T. & N. O. Railway commission- er, said the other day: "In the first place, I know of nc muskeg in the Timiskaming country Real muskeg, you know, is sour, and there Is no sour land up there. The so-called Timiskaming muskeg le no- thing more or less than a thick layer o' mould deposited there from the forest growth. Though water-sot''."9' and soggy, and of unusual depth, there is no suspicion of sourness. I "The clearing of the timber train the land is comparatively easy, for the reason that the trees are web- footed, that is, they are fiat bottom- ed, as it were, having no depth of root. With the trees once removed the mould covering quickly drains and dries. "Beneath this mould covering," he went on, "we find the clay that will make Timiskaming famous as an o agricultural ural section.This clay depos- it it is superior in every way to any clay land in older Ontario, even that of Lambton county. Unlike other clay sections, the Timiskaming clay never bakes if properly handled, Plowed in the fall, the winter frosts cause the lumps to crumble and a per- fect seed bed is produced in time for spring sowing. "There is no need of tooth harrow- ing or discing. Just run the seeder over and follow 1t with the barrow or a light roller. Furthermore, beneatb the clay is to be found a lime deposit varying in depth. This mould, clay and lime formation 'leaves nothing more to be desired from an agricul- tural point of view." Referring to the statement that "with $5 and good health a man can become a successful North Ontartc settler," credited to Mr. Englehart, the commissioner, said: "I would like to add: he must have two hands, backed by a pair of shoul- ders and a willingness to use both hands and shoulders. With these es- sentials 1 will personally guarantee a good living and the best of future prospects to any young man coming to Timiskaming. "Settlers," the chairman of the T. & N. O. Commissioners explained, "are required to put in six months of each year for three years, on their homesteads, or 18 months In all. It they do this and pay the nominal price of 50 cents an acre for their 160 -acre plot they receive their pa- tent at the end of three years time, provided, of course, they have compli- ed with the regulations—cleared to many acres and built a habitation measuring 16-20 feet. "That is what the regulations re- quire of him. If, however, a man known by tbe inspector to have hon- est intentions, should, through force of circumstances, fall to complete hit homestead duties, the inspector will extend the period, even to five years —will nurse him along, as it were."

The Trade and Commerce Depart- ment at Ottawa was in receipt the other day of the annual report of the British Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, which contains a good deal of inf -dation that will be welcomed by Canadian expo-•ters as indicating the growing capacity of the British market. The importation of live ani- mals to the United Kingdom has been gradually declif.ing and the tendency has been to replace this trade by the importation of dead meat. The value of live cattle imported in 1912 war less than $5,000,000, while in 1897 it was ten times this amount, The United States supplied 39,987 head of the imp its last year. Can- ada 6,800, and the Channel Islands 2,125. Canada has disappeared as an ex- porter of butter. There was only ex- ported to Great Britain 27 cwts., as compared with 62,000 cwts. in 1911. Canada still fairly holds its own in cheese exports, sending in 1912, 1,353,007 ewts. New Zealand's cheese exports are growing, reaching last year 644,000 cwts. The importation of wheat into the United Kingdom in 1912 was the Iargest yet recorded. There was a big increase in the imports from Can- ada, the total being 21,550,000 cwts., as against 14,370,000 cwts in 1911. RAISING FALL LITTERS. With Right Care They May Be Made Very Profitable. A. subscriber of the lowa Homestead whose attitude is favorable to the practice of•aising fall pigs writes as follows: I find that I make as much money from my fall litters as I do from the spring litters, and now is the time of year to be thinking of the fall litters. Sows must be bred early enough in the summer so that they will not go into winter before tate pigs are farrowed. Winter pigs should have the s:ane care es fall pigs, of course, but they do not have the advantage of the fall pasture or forage as do earlier pigs. Owing to this I do nut think winter pigs are as profitable to raise as are spring, sum- mer of fall pigs. The greatest disadvantage f have ever found to fall or winter pigs is the quarters. Pigs of any age do not do well if compelled to sleep in a straw pile, out of doers or in a muddy shed or damp bed. These conditions are especially detrimental to young Big F'ature for Canadian. Madame Curie, the discoverer of radium, who attended the meetings of the British association at Birming- ham, Eng., spent much of 1 -r time in Engirna with Dr. Rutherford, pro- fessor oe physics, at Liverpool Uni- versity. This is explained by the fact that Dr. Rutherford ;.aa been carry- ing on certain experiments in radio- activity from which Madame Curie expects great things. In this connec- tion air, said recently: "Dr. Ruther- ford 't the one man living who pre- mises to confer come inestimable boon on mankind as the result of my discovery of radium. 1 would advise England to watch him. His work in radio -activity has surprised MC'. (treat developments aro likely to transpire "hortly to which the dtacovery of ra- dium wars only preliminary." Big Sign Planned.

Of course floors cost money, but they soon wake it back In extra gains In the pigs weight. The quarters of small hogs should be separate from those of the big hogs, for pigs never do so well when permitted to sleep in a heap with large ones. To be sure, there is usually some bad weather In the fall, but we usually have it as bac. and worse in the early spring. In the fall, between showers, the pig may be filling his tank with such green feeds as lie likes if they have been provided. If they have not been provided he runs out in a dry lot, squeals, does not grow, and then usually the cry is, "b'all pigs don't pay..,, While the pigs are on the peas and rope plow trig their winter lots and sow rye. This will be :t good, rich soil for rye, and it will grow rapidly and very rank. It will not take a very large lot or a few small ones to afford plenty of pasture all winter and until rape is :again ready in the spring. This will keep the pigs growing, if they have !,nod quarters. la•o•eoeo•eo• 000 DO OOOO••••• • a FOR POULTRY SHIPPERS. w • -- • • • Don't scald your poultry. o Don't ship unless properly •• • cnoled. • 'Don't hill fowls right out of o • the field or baro yard. • Don't fail to keep them penned °► tip at least three days. • Don't ship to market without • We (except in extreme cold • • • • weather) • s Don't :,hip poor st,)ck,• • o Don't expert more than mar- • e ket price. • • Don't feed the night before • a killing. s • Don't fan to feed cornmeal • while fattening. •• • Don't fail to write your dealer • • for shipping tags. j s Don't fail to deal with respon• • • • alble firms. --Farm Journal. • 0 • e•.•••••O•oe•• OOOOOO••eS s• Children Cry _.

Go Over the Ground and Clean Up Carefully. Just before the soil is being prepared for the sowing of the cover crop is a fine time to go over the orchard and clean up, picking up and hauling out such rubbish as old crates, ladders and other things that were left during the period when fruit gathering was on hand, says the Horne and Farm. 1 Such material is not only in the way, but is a good hiding place for rats and mice. as well as winter quarters for Insects that are injurious to orchard crops. If the troes have made but slow growth the past two or three years it would be a very good idea to scatter some barnyard manure over the orchard just before preparing the soil for the crop. This 'manure should be pretty well rotted and should be scattered uni- formly, being careful not to get it in piles about the trees. The manure will not only help the soil, but will aid the trees in making a better growth and will help the cover crop to grow bet- ter. Where the trees have been mak- ing a rapid growth I think it best to not use any manure. Let the growth of the trees the past two or three years serve as your guide. RACK FOR WAGON BOX. Convenient Auxiliary Wood Carrier Can Be Easily Made. It is often necessary to carry wood In the wagon box. When it is not worth while to take the box off and put on the ordinary heavy wood rack a light rack to fit inside the wagon box is therefore a convenience. One of these racks is shown in the accom- panying sketch. The side and end pieces are made of two by four inch material, the end piece B to be the same width as the WAGON BOX WOOD RACK. Inside of the wagon box. A and 13 are mortised together so the rack may be removed in sections. The side pieces of the end gate 0 pass through staples, the top end going in first, The upright slats may be of lighter mate- rial than the frame, but it is not de- sirable to have them less than two by one inch. Both frame and slats should be of tough wood, such as hickory or oak, so as to withstand rough hand- ling. If desired, bolts may be used instead of the nails or screws. Where nails are used it is advisable to have them clinched.—American Agriculturist. Wire Gate Fastener. The illustration shows the manner of fastening a gate In a barb wire fence. The lever is held to its place in a hole In the post. The stick holding the wires of the gate should be tirade of some hard wood and the lower end should pass behind a loop fastened t0 the post Where the lower wire comes. To the lever is attached a book that passes around the up- per end of the hard wood stick. By pulling on the (ever the wires are stretched taut and when the bolt is put in position the gate Is held fast and firm. Money Made Out of Beans.

I hired the men to plant ft to navy beans They did that with the turn planter. It took them only :t sbort time. They also cultivated the acre et the proper time and helped me thrash the beans in the fall, I paid fee this help at the rate of $4 per day, amounting altogether to $6. For the seed I paid $2.

The breeding of heavy draft borses is always profitable, and it greatly adds to the farmer's income. Small, scrubby horses are not wanted, and the mares for breeding should be large and well built.

The idea is a little startling, but the explanation 18 simple enough. The temperature at which water boils depends purely on the air pressure of its surface. If the air pressure is high the water must be made n good deal hotter to boil than is, necessary at low pressure. On mountains, where the air pres- sure is lower than at sea level, water boils easily at low temperature. In cooking vegetables of all kinds a cer- tain degree of beat is required, and where water boils before that vegeta- bles won't cook. Consequently they have to be put in a closed boiler so that the generated steam will create, pressure for the water to boil beyond the regalred temperature. For un experimental proof of this - fact the wa1 a vessel. t er is placed n and the air exhausted above the sur- face of the water. As the process of pumping goes on the water will boll violently, the steam congealing on the t y+ g sides of the exhaust vessel. If the pumping is continued long enough and the outside is cooled below the frees* ing point of the water the water Nell, continue boiling and bubbling until it Is a mass of ice. This fact is made use of in estimat- ing stimatIng the height of mountains. At sea level water boils at 212 degrees 11'. This principle does not apply to water alone, but to all liquids. --Chicago Trib- une. REST AND HEALTH TO MOTHER AND CHILD. MRS.
