It is pointed out that the elements
to be first eonbrdered for the preserve-

moisture, drainage, depth, and loca-
tion. All these matters are taken into
consideration. The cellar under the

sometimes need to put it down on
the calendar and in my notebook, too.
Tlhen, usually, the calendar would ibe

halve found a tuuoh better place to
keep these records, and that is in t
breeding booic.
I have lined it so -that there is a
space for the name of the animal, the
date hired, the ire, the 'date cpa-
ceptiori takes place, and the date I8irtii
may be expected.

Preba'bly some farmers would need

stock kept, but I find one book suffi-
cient for my purposes,
Most farmers figure that a cow's
gestation ,period is -nine months and as
sow's four menthe. This of course, is
not exactly correct, 1 find by carefully
watching that -in most cases' they will
come mighty close to the exact num-
of days. Two sows that I watched
farrowed within an hour of the 112
days expected.. With cows the tune
is not Mess than 280 day, except . ip
rare cases. Calves have been carried.
f' or eleven months and have lived and
matured. Manes require an average
of '330 days R. E.

One seaeen.the wet weather kept vis

grew very thick, It looked as though
they would take the crop.
Ordinary cultivation w-ou'ld have
done very little, if any, good, so we
hitched to the lister .with one 'horse,
and ran .a shallow furrow between
the rows, the dirt; of course, being
thrown'each'way, covering the weeds.
As 000'10 as the, dirt settled a little,
we took the five -shovel cultivator and,
letting the horse walk down the shal-
low furrows, pi—ad—Madly leveled- the
ground between the rows.
By this 'time the weeds had been
given such a good worrying that the
ordinary four -shovel cultivator: was
put in the field, and the ground worked
to a ,good advantage where it would
have been impracticable without pre-
vious preparation.

feeling much 'top sleepy' to 10050,.
Indeed, when two mosquitoes lighted
on 0 nasturtium leaf near his 1108d,
Tumpty Toad only blinded an eyeilt
them. They would have'tasteel good

be worth the effort of putting out

"Ansi nothing 'biteable in oi'ght,"
said 500 crossly, "-but that old toad.'"
"You don't call him ibibeable," said
the other. "rte's boo tough for my
taste."
"Hush," warned the first. "Ile may
hear us,"
"No danger," retarned the esoonok
"Can't you see he's asleep?"
Tumpty Toad, kept his 'eyes shut.
Not that he wasn't annoyed. No one
likes to he 'called tough,; even by a
mosquito.
"Here comes somebody tender,"
said the first mosquito'- suddenly.
"Aha," said'._the seoand with 'sa'tis-.
faction.
And.' both mosquitoes fell silent.
Tumpty Toads could hear them sharp-
ening their bills. He was almost
curious enough to open his eyes, Still
he felt so lazy:, And he %could' truet
his ears to tell him who this tender
somebody was.,
For steps were coming along the
walk, a big, grown-up pair of steps-
not the tender ones decidedly—and a
lipase, uncerta'inj toddling'pair.
"Funny toad," `said' the baby.
Tumpty Toad felts soft little tickle
down his back. He didn't jump or
wriggle away, for he knelt' that the
tickle was the baby's finger strolling
and' patting him. IIe sat very still,
not to frighten the ticicle away.
"Nice, funny toad saki the baby.
"See if it does -tat want a fly," 'said
a big, grown-up voice that belonged
to the 'big, grown-up steps.
That was thoughtful surely, Tuntp'by
Toad was almost excited enough to
open his eyes. Still he felt so lily!
And he could treat his nose to tell him
when the fly w,as near.
The mosquitoes stopped ,sharpening
their ,bill's.
"Ready?" asked the first.
"Go!" said. the second.
Tumpty'` Toad heard the hum of their
wings as they passed.,, It was a awn
gay h,tim. Ansi it was headed straight
for the baby.
Tumpty Toad' opened both eyes 'wide.
He had forgotten all about •being
sleepy. • Close beside frim on the walk,
