I Often read and heav of people who eentPiabl of the Inge setrielcege hogs on comparetivele Mort believe that 11110 trouble may usually be tratted tee the 'setae iteele or 'to the rtreethod 01 weighing, We will' Wee it for granted that the mete eteele le weighing correctly, Then one or 'Isiah of these two things may happen; First, the team, ie lie tineMinese, nifty pall, makieg it nec- essary for the •drive' to lceep o„stiff hold on the lines, Such a eireum- etance ectsily lighten the load from ,20 to. 80 Muncie. Second, the team may betelc decidedly against the neek yoke, which ,will Add erten 10 to 60 peuncles-to the weight. There is just Dm thine to do to avold these possibilities, which ee-re really prola abilities; and that lo to enhook the begs when weighing and melte 'the team crated perfectly slack -Test youe scales oceasiortally by delving a load front scale to scale aed welabing with the horses unhitched. Scales should not vary over five pomade. - When taking year hog e to market, eme tliat the scales!: are 'balanced bet fore weighing. Rain will add ,freen 10 to 50 pounds of weight, according to the dryness. of the platform and the fall of rain. Then, in wet weather, mud will gather and be left on the scale, also adding to the weight.. So et is always safe to ask for a new balance. 'See that the scale does net bind any- vvherc-that no lateen mud, coal, or atone hem become wedged between the platform lend planks, a condition which. will also lighten your weight, The. questien is often raised..as to what. constitutes cowed weight, or where the noee of the item should come to reel -be -mat the top ..46f the trip loop or pin, or at the centre of trip loop .or pin. If it comes to rest at the top, you are accepting light weight, especeally on a sluggish scale. The mete 'of the trip loop indicates the molter weight. 111 some cales you will find the sensibility very sluggish. ley this is meant that the poise or weight indi- cator may be shoved ahead or back 20 to 30 Mounds while the beam is travelling from one trip loop to the °thee. It .is clifficult to get within five or ten pounds correct weight .on such a scale, and ittshoulcl be -adjusted, Hundreds of people pre of the ion - pression that a settle is correct if it balances.. This is not necessarily true. A scale may balance perfectly and yet not weigh correctly within 300 pounds on a ton. This is because scales however great, are built along me: chanted lines, and there are a numbee of Sarta to get out of adjustment. A. repair man should go over a heavily esed 'scale at least onee a year. Then, again, thme is the man who knows ha ecAle is -all right because he frequently tests it eveth iv 60 -pound iron weight. That stale may also be wrong, for two reasons: A 50 -pound weight is not test enough.- One is that the errote in a scale may not show up until heavily loaded -at least a ton should be put on the scale, more if poseible. Then put on 1,000 pounds of iron ovaig.ht.s-anct notice the error f in 'the 1,000 pounds of weights. Let us stop 11 monient and figure t what some of these enters might total: A 40 -pound scale error plus 5 pounds wrong balance, plus 15 pounds bind on platform, plus 40 pounds team error equals 100 pounds error. When pork is 15 cents a pound these errors .would cost the seller $15. Surely, such a --conviderabion justifies the farmer in looking over the scales which be uses. ' • The Tractor in the Orchard. . While the development of the farm tractor during the past five years has been little short of marveleus, only a small percentage of the farmers and orchardists have seen fit to substitute the trader for the horse. In the past they have had four very good reasons for not making the stelestitution. - First. The old tepe of tractor could not turn in a short enough space and as .5.result many trees were injured at the ends of the rows, Second. The. old type of 'machine, s W0.8 01105001y t� tali and. nleile.le'eter hnamed' etes weve There, 010111074141003ny ereeedate dill riot be- lieve that the leader Whit ' • • F01.310, • The lace, O.1! methanical enewledge etc the 'pert of the .average melee causetta, ereat aeal of trouble. ; Bat eeeeraly teeee .obeections have thee „great extent been overoome, We now have tractors that con teetn ie diameter of less tlehaawelve feet, and that' -built so low that all possible daeger oe enjuelne the .tree hes been done atvey Alm better method co'netreetion have made elle 'tree* prectically as certain 0? oihg etewoek ehroeghout the. year 014 'the Merge, , Al preseetmehe. tatter has tWo great points- in its feevor: Mut The treetor es speedier than the „ • Seeond.

The question .of speed is of great importance tomthe orchardist becausa orchard operations are of ' mock a n.athee teat they need to be clone as quickly as possable. Delays are both dengerente and costly in the orchard. , •• . In elle amend place the -trader is more..econornical than the horse. Aside from the 'interest on the investment, . , depregeation, and . storage, it costs t practically nothing te keep the trac- tor while not in operation. On the other Mind it' costs nearly 'as much te keee the horse when idle as when -at week.- This ie of greatimportance to the orcharaist as -the season during -which the- thecae: or horse is needed in the orchard is much shorter than on the genet:el farm: A few idle. horses will eat up the profits in a Mort' time. • ' ' I 'A. s,eries of experiments recently carried on. showed Mat 'the tractor could do the same amount of work that a- horse could' do -with one-half less labor, and nearly one-half less labomis an item that Mu Met be' very emely overlooked in these days of scarce Mbar and high was. , ' Value of Manure Spreader. IS -I were to advise one ahoet buying implements for a deity farm, the first lin the list would be 'a ma:nere spreader. 1 The main mop a dairy farm should thm produce is they, and e anure spri eader s the bayanaker than can- not be bea•tee. Two years ago we seeded a piece of clever dud timothy. The seeding came along very goed until the cleought struck it, and by the last of August it didn't leek geod enough to leave for a hay crop, but we needed •theeleay badly and decided to give -it a top -dressing with the spveader. At this this lime we hadn't much ma- nure but used all we had, which cove ered about an acre and. a half. The next spring -we went on with the spreader, covering the whole field ightly. And say, if anything can per - tram a miracle, manure can. Just be - ore tutting time I went over the field o see what kind itf aecrop we 'had, was 'surprised to be able to track that manure spreader as easily as a dog would a rabbit 00 .5 fresh snow. Wherever the spreader threw its "straak of gale!' there etood clover up to my waist and where the manure did net cover, nothtng but vagweed and sheep sorrel were go -owing. . At the ends where the machine would -lap, the clover was no rank that it lodged in such a shape that the mower would not mit all of it This top -dressing was put on in the early spring, in the forenoons of each day before the sun cut the frost and let the spreader, down into the meadow. Another advantage of putting the enanure on the grass crop is, that not a bit is wasted% It is all washed to the roots of the mlant and not down the dead furrows and larger creek. It makes a better and larger crop of hay and stores valuable plant food for the umeednig corn crop, Of „ Hens are apt ece learn eg.g eating when they lay in open nests.

Typewriters on Farms. .The use of typewriters on farms is corning to bp quiee common. In thie neighborhood I estimate that ten per cent, of the farmer:4 have typewrit- ers in their homes.

I was about ten years old at the time, and going to a country school, of course. I liked to write some ofmy letters on the reaohiee. The typewriter was eseful in learning to spell, and spelling is a very badly neglected subject. One can not, write a word on a typewriter and have it misspelled; it stares 'at the write too plainly. The formation and general con- steuction of every kind of lettee come to the Mee of the typeevriter. Many social letters are weitiletie on the type- writer to -day. I use a typewriter for all my lettees, end. before 1 was mar- ried I wrote practically' all of my social letters on a typewriter. It was a favor, I think, because my Mende could read ehe letters eaelly, . The boys and •girls who have typele writers en theie homes are a step ithead of lis h6yo Mel girls who ,clo not have them.

If the fruit grower, vegetable grow- er, or flower grower does not sevay nowadays, he is .almost certain to have infetior pm -ducts in his orchard, email fralt plantationand garden. There are so many injurious insects and diseases Which affect a large pro- portion of the plants he grows that if they aro uneonerolled there will either be no crop left or else the value of the crop will be Veey much reduced. There are few of these insects -and diseases which cannot be web con- trolled,by using some pf the remedies which have been discovered during the past twenty-five os thirty -epees end Which have been well tested by many. experiments. Spraying reuse, however, be thor- oughly done if good results are to -be obtained. Materials are expensive, and. the cost of labor is high, and -money will be wasted if the work is improperly done or riot done at the right time. The early spraying are, as a rule, the most important, ancl ,,those evlio contemplate spraying as; all sheead who have .orchards or gardens, should get everything in eeadiness to begin -at the right time as delay may mean much loss. Spray Calendars are is- eued by the Dominion ana Provineial Departnients of Agriculture, in which severed sprayings ave recommended to be applied at cmtain stages in the development' of the- -leaves, fiowere, andefruit. In the case of fruit trees the spray should be applied so that every leaf, bud, and -fruit will, ef pos- sible," receive some' of the material; not only on one pert of it, bue as nearly ell over as posseble. Every leaf, flower and Mee or young fruit missed mewls .a poseible starting point for disease or insect pests.

The tee eup eves very -friendly -with the cream pitcher, for it, too, was 'without a handle, steel the smell girl played thereavere two 8580005, as one was in two parts! These tiny dishes were decorated with very pink flowers and dela:ate sprays of green leaves. Every lietle piece was web washed ,and dried whenever the small girl and her smaller doll had a tea-party. One night when the farmer was planting acres of potatoes the small girl watched the careful cutting of the seedepotathee before teeytwere put in the ground. :Peeling sure that she had mastered the lesson about potato Oyes arid the fall crop, she hurried to look at the Parts of her beloved tea -set.

The eifare of the Holm What's Wrong With Baby? By Idu M. Alexander, MD. This -is the question asked by many mothers eegardIng theie babies of less than a year old. Most of these mothers take it for granted •that the baby'e food was the _cause of the trouble. Instead it was neatly deways -one or two things: either the baby was not 'given enough water or the mothee her- self '4105e sick and the baby was sick for that reason. When I say. "sock," remember I •do not mean :ticket -bed, I mean, she was not 100 per cent. healthy.
