As the scione ,grow, the top helpful. It'may be to make over an apple tree from an inferior variety into a palatable and salable sort, Or :It may be to add a few new varieties by patting two • or three kinds on one tree. To describe the operations of Wa- tling and grafting, it is necessary, first of all, to get straight on the meaning of the terms. 'Badding is accomplished by tak- ing a bud' from one tree and inserting it: in another true, which is spoken of es the "stock," The stock. is usually only olie to three years old, and In good growing condition. "Grafting" consists in taking a small branch, which is spoken of es the "scion," from one tree and fasten- ing or grafting it onto another, in such a way that it will grow. The scion is generally cut from active young growth, about the size of a lead pencil. It should be cut durieg• winter or in very early spring, while the buds are still dormant. The scion, may be kept in sand or soil, in a cellar, or in an icehouse. I like to do my grafting just after the 'buds begin to swell in the spring, so that scions will start to grow as soon as possible after grafting. Bud- ding may also be done at that stage, but I prefer doing it in late July or August, after the buds for the next season's growth have matured. Of course, such buds do not start to grow until the following spring, but they should unite with the stock in three or four weeks. In budding there are three distinct steps, First, make your bud. This is done by cutting a dormant bud, of the war - lett, wanted, with a little strip of bark three-fourths of an inch to an inch long. A sharp knife should be used, to make a clean cut, and a little sliver of the wood may be left in the curve of the bark, 'Second, make a T-shaped slit in the bark of the stock, and slip the bud into this so it fits snugly under the bark. 'Third, tie the bark firmly over the bud with raffia or soft twine, to hold it secure without cutting it. In a few weeks, or as soon as the bud grows fast, cut the tie to prevent its binding the growing stools. 'The following spring, when growth starts, the stock is cut off clean, just above the g`row'ing bud, which forms the new leader, making a new tree on the old roots. Grafting is of two kinds. If you have a small tree or branch to make over, say as big es your finger, you can use a "whip" graft: This consists in cutting off the stock with a long, gloating cut, and cutting a scion of the sante size, and in the same way, so that the two pieces will exactly fit together like a splice. The inner bark, or cambium of the two pieces must just fit together, as this is the part which will foram the adhesion. A split or tongue in both pieces will serve still further to hold them in exact position. When I have to make over larger trees, or add new varieties to a bear- ing tree, I select a numiber of strong new branches, an inch or two in dia- meter. These are cut off clean and square instead of slanting. Then they are carefully split act osa the middle so that the two scions can be inserted. The ends of the scions_ are cut to a slim, tapering wedge, so that they will fit snugly in the split, cane being taken to place then flush with the outer edge of the split, so that the inner bark of both stock 'and scion will come together. In both whip grafting and 'cleft grafting the scions should be firmly bound in place as soon as inserted, and the entire joint well covered with branches of the tree aro removed; ii the case of an older tree, a few eaelt year, until the new growth replaces the old alter three or four seasons, The Babcock Tester Who Woke Up Our Town, e Down here in a httle country town of southern Illinois, is a man who has stirred up more interest in dairying than anyone here ever• dreamed of, writes an Illinois farmer,' • Our farmers had been.shipping a little dream for some time --just tak- ing what mills the calves did not get and selling the creast, and that was about all. A man here, owning a few acres, decided that he would like to buy cream for some company. He knew a cream buyer in another town, and had learned how to test cream. Se he took the examination and got a license to test acid buy cream. He made a deal with a certain company, and they sent him an. outfit. The cream station was rigged up, and a little cream began to come in, After a few months a few more bnsckets came in, and occasionally a whole can, This man (I will call him Smith, although that is not his name), having a pretty keen brain, began to wonder if there wasn't a way to get the farmers to use more and better cowsso there would be more cream to ship. His volume was so small that the business was not paying very well, so he suggested to his patrons that they bring in a sample of each cow's milk and let him test it. They would 'then know which were their good cows and which were their poor ones. Three-fourths' of them never had thought of such a thing. But they all gladly brought in their milk samples. Smith tested the milk with- out charge, and insisted that they bring a sample every week for a num- ber of weeks, so be could get an aver- age for a period of time. Now we come to the interesting part: Naturally, Jones didn't like to have his neighbors know what poor cows he had. That is exactly what happened. Smith averaged these tests, giving each patron a sheet with the reports for everyone on it, Every man could see how much butterfat ho had sold each week, and how his cow test averaged, and whether his was better or worse than his neighbor. It was also reported regularly in the county paper. Did they wake up? Well, I guess so, Soon the farmers in bunches be- gan to buy good dairy cows by the carload. Old Brindle wobbled down the lane for the last time, and was shipped to the packer. I wish I could make you visualize the changes that have taken place in that little com- munity. Many farmers now bring in one, two, three, and more gallon cans of create every week. Smith has a fine 'business, but the farmers most all have a liner one. Why, a bank has started }where one never thought of before! The farms are fairly begin- ning to bloom since they have been better fed with cow manure. Silos are to be seem on every farm. New barns are common, and not by any means the least are the many new homes .built from the proceeds. There is keen competition between the best farmers to see which one can get the largest ereatn cheeks each week. Record'dceeping is still the lend- ing feature of interest. It takes a real force to handle the cream books now, whereat the start, Smith could handle it himself. Now he charges a small fee for testing and staking re- ports to each one. They are glad to pay him to keep them posted on what their cows are doing. I wonder if there aren't other places that need a Smith to wake then' up? Things You Can Do to Insure a Big Lamb Crop. Flock increase has much'to do with the profit of the sheep—owner, so a great deal depends.. upon the care given at lambing time. Maty a lamb have I saved by a kit- chen stove, and many an orphan ltunb. have I raised by hand. The gm'eateest danger in hand raising is in overfeed- ing, but this can be guarded against by using a bottle and nipple as for• a baby, and by giving only two or three tablespoonfuls of high -testing cow's milk every two hours, As the lamb grows, the intervals between meals may be lengthened and the gtiantity increased.. It is needless to say that nipple and bottle must be kept clean and sanitary to prevent bowel dis- orders. If the mother cheep has had plenty ,of succulent feed and some grain, in addition to good hay or forage, dur- ing the last few weeks before the lamb was expected, the chances are that she will give birth to a strong, healthy youngster. Lambs that have Rot had such favorable condition may come so weak that they must be given warm milk and nursed carefully to keep them alive. Chilled lambs may often be revived by placing them in a tub of warm water, in a room of moderate temperature. They should be dried thoroughly, and given warm milk before being returned to the mother ewe, Some ewes are not very solicitous of their young, and others will dis- own their lambs entirely, I find this cast be avoided by placing ewe and lamb in a email pen, Then -if the mother is fed on grain ,and roots, or silage, if it is not the season of grans; she will make plenty of milk, and will be glad to be relieved of it, and Will thus come to own her lamb. Such shelter as the season demands insist be provided if loss at lambing' time is to be avoided, 14Iy observa- tion has been that the #loekmastitr who tan show a 106 per cent. Increase is not the one who trusts to luck, He watches the ewes closely, and when by unmistakable signs he sees that lambing time is only a few days away they are confined in comfortable quarters away front the rest of the flock. If necessary, he remains near to assist at the birth of a lamb, but he relies' most on judicious care dur- ing the gestation period to make both lamb and ewe safe. Should a ewe die, the orphan lamb may be given to a lambless ewe if she can be made to own it. This can -usually be done if the ewe has lost her lamb and has milk, In'casea of this kind I place the ewe in a clerk part of the 'barn, tying !her' so she cannot smell the lamb and refuse to let it suck. By putting the lamb to the ewe every two or three hours, the ewe will soon own it, particularly it she ,is young. Older ones are often obstinate, some taking a week before adopting a strange lamb. I know one sheepman who has another plan which wetted successfully. This is to place the skin of the dead lamb over the other lamb ter the mother ewe to smell. Usually she will own it almost immediately. I have tried almost every way except this,. but have no doubt that it will work like a charm with most ewes, Lambs are too valuable to lose, 'and if you are tike mo you need the cash there is in them. I raise sheep for two reasons: First, I like to handle sheep—just have a natural love for then. Then I have found that they tam always be relied upon to help me out ,with profits of the farin, ,Ready both spring and £all to snake their Contribution, I have conte to depend on them.

Ifens eeleeteci in the fall be- cause of their late -laying ability should be marked then and used the coming spring as breeders, provided they have the vigor and proper eon- foratation. To these liens should.' be stated males from be of known production. Ply this method you will be able - tp improve the egg -laying qualities of the flocks tremendously. After the chicks have been hatch- ed and are ready for' the brooder, the next .question is the type of brooder house to use. The proper type of brooder house;. is the one that will give you the Lest' results. A. size is 16 feet wide and 12 feet 'deep, 7% feet high in front and 4 feet in the rear- In this model house the; four upper window -sashes are hinged so that when opened the cold air strikes the ceiling first and radiates throughout the room. In the case of the two central top sashes, unbleach- ed muslin is used instead of glass. The purpose of this muslin is to ad- mit fresh air without any draft. At no time except in the hot summer tnonths•are the lower sashes removed. As a further means of ventilation, there is in the back of the house an opening through which the cool air can come between the roof boards and the rafters; the rafters are sealed up for a distance of perhaps six feet. Another advantage of this brooder house is the great amount of sunlight which is admitted to all parts of. the house. In the case of hens, this might not and. would not be desirable, be- cause no artificial heat is employed in hen houses. But in the case of the brooder house, it is highly beneficial. At no time when the sun is shining are the chicks bunched together. The sunlight is everywhere. At each side of the front of the house is a little door through which the chicks may come out and go in at will. An approach in the general form of a semi -circle covered with burlap bags serves as an ideal board walk for the chicks.- The reason for two openings instead of one is` that they cut down the labor greatly and make it easier for the chicks to find their way into the house in case of storm. Young hogs should 'be sprayed and dipped freely to keep them free from parasites and skin -diseases. • .

"That's right; say 'fib' instead of 'lie,"' said Lucy, with one of her sud- den warm smililes. "That's what Em- ilia calls it to herself, I'm sure; she would think that important lies are lies, but she doesn't feel that little ones are wicked," "But, Lucy—" "Hush, hush, my child!

I wouldn't defend Emilia if you hadn't shown that you meant to stop being friends with her. • She has a fault, and it's a serious fault; 'but she's worth trying to help, And, Kate, in one sense it's the ruinous extreme of a virtue. She told you that yarn to please you—" "Please me!" "And to encourage you when she saw that you needed encouragement and were hoping to find it in Mrs. MacVane's opinion.

"But if _you can't trust what she says—" "We can trust her heart; she's good and loving, And if without being cruel we can make' her understand how much we want to trust her word, A Practical Hog House The profits from the hog crop form a very important item of the total profits' from many farms. These profits depend in large measure upon the. care of the hogs, and good care of the hogs calls for an up-to-date and sanitary hog house. Money put into a good hog house is well invested under any circum- stances, but when market hogs aro up around fifteen cents, good shelter is an the more important. The floor plans here shown illustrate a popular arrangement which is proving very satisfactory on a great many farms throughout the corn 'belt. The outside dimensions of this house are twenty-four feet by thirty- seven feet six inches. • It contains twelve separate pens each six feet by eight in the clear, with an alley four feet, ten inches wide, running the full length of the building between the two rows of pens. Practicaly all hog raisers have agreed that a pen six by eight feet :is large enough for a sow and her Iitter, indeed --a five by eight -foot is used by some with good results. • There is an outside door at each end of the alley. Then a door opens outward into the alley from each pen, matter how cold the air is outside. The hogs are more comfortable in cold weather and do not require so much feed to keep them in good condition. Wood is the most commonly used because of the ease with which it is worked into a finished building. But if a wood building is constructed as warmly as one built of hollow tile or concrete blocks the cost would pos- sibly be the same or higher. The roof in all cases will be of wood and two-by-four number one yellow pine rafters, twenty-four inches on centre, sheathed with'one-by-four roof (boards, number two lumber spaced two incites apart if wood shingles are used. If prepared roofing is used cane - by -six dressed and matched boards should be used. A heavy .three-ply prepared roofing covered with crush- ed slate will give a good roof for twenty to, twenty-five years without any attention. This ;makes a very warts roof for winter use. The metal roof whitlows let the sunshine strike every part of the building during the day. There is no better disinfectant for a hog house, no more efficient destroyer of disease germs known, than plenty of attight sunlight. Plenty of sunshine is bet - '0 N 4- 14 w.w�aa`matta lauekaaaa 6I ND1VIDUAL p EN5 1-lO1.L0 ZILE. FLOO i �EEDiN6 ALLE. ip arasa.'Wet' al- S at e.

Each pen is also supplied with an outside door so that separate runs or yards may be built on the outside for each. In decent 'weather this door could be left open so that the pigs could have the use of the .outside run and inside shelter at will. These small doers should be twenty- four inches wide and thirty-six to forty-two inches in the clear. In cold weather a piece of burlap or ducking hung at the top of the door, with a stick a little shorter than the width of the door hailed across the bottom to prevent the wind from blowing it back, will help materially to keep the 'pigs warm. The pigs will soon learn to lift the curtail] when they want to go through, The board doors would not then need to be closed exceptin very bad weet:ltee, or while :the pigs are very small. The walls of the'buiiddng may be of three materials: wood, hollow build-' ing tile, or concrete. The cost of these different materials woolen be about tine same, provided a good warm building is eoitstruetecl. The hollow buildingtile is being g used by a great many with very good! results, On account of the dead air spaces in the tile, such a house will not freeze if there is stock in it, no, Patti katt.Li tat,tialtatNJ`a Rl_ rnnso'o ter and cheaper than buying medicine for the hogs. Fresh air is alsoan essential fen - titre of any well -constructed hog house. Every farmer knows haw soon theair in the ordinary pig shed be - acmes foul when filled with hogs. Hence to insure healthy hogs some provision must be made. This is pro- vided for by two ventilators. These ventilators are especially valuable during the cold weather in the winter when the doors and windows are closedfor protection from the cold. Such a house is especially adapted for brood spps during the farrowing season. Each cow and litter ci'm be provided with; a separate pen and out- side run, until the pigs are old enough to bo together in a large lot, The individual peens are also useful for weaning purposes. The pigs can 'be shut ill' this pen and given special care during the weaning period. The partitions Batt be made remov- able, and when the sows are through farrowing, they eon be removed and it can be used .for two large sleeping floors for the shotes. Altogether, this house has Iliaiy advantages 'which reoouunerd it tto the average -farmer. It the honed is too large or too small for the purpose of any individual r'ood'er, he could fol- low the same plan of construction And at the size to his individual needs, ! too. Besides, if we are going to be hard because we are truthful, we are lowering our own best virtue." • "We, hard, indeed! I may be, but you've a heart like a pudding! All right, Lucy, I'll admit that with her fibs eliminated Emilia would be a darling! You can tell her I said so; but mind you add that she's neither a darling nor a friend of mine unless they are" T will," said Lucy soberly. It's Only a Stub Pencil, but it Manses Me Money. A lead pencil can be bought for a nickel. It will earn dollars if you use it right. Let me tell you some- thing about the value of a lead pencil: How much of your farm work do you figure out? Never do? Well, I used to 'be that way too, but I'm get- ting' over it. My wife says I know just what each oat straw costs. That is merely satirical, of course, but it indicates something. Do you really know how much it costs to raise any of your crops, or to feed a horse or a cow? Get out your pencil and let's see. You can't weigh each feed for a year, of course, nor can you keep exact record of every minute's work that goes into a farm crop, but you can snake a pretty good estimate in a few minutes. Do you know about how many pounds of ear corn there are in a 'bushel basket? What does the measure of oats weigh that you feed two or three tines a day? When you find out a few of these essential things it will be time to start using your lead pencil. You may miss it a pound or so,' but it won't be much oft the average. My lead pencil is about three inches long. That makes' it handy to carry in my overalls' pocket. I figure when I am in the field, or any old place, when I wonder about sometlming. 1 know it pays me, and that's why I keep at it. Sonic of my neighbors tell me that a farmer dare not figure out what arty crop casts, If he does he'll find that he is losing on every one. Well, possibly that is true—in fact, I am afraid it is often true—but neverthe- less it is time to find out and get: away from it. We farmers are en- titled to a decent per cent. on our 'investment in land and machinery, be- sides pay for our labor, equal, at Least, to the men we hire. Yet we: know we are not getting that. The more and quicker we start using our lend pencil, the quicker we _will wake up and'stert something. In our county there is a big. can- ning factory, We get $16 a'ton for tomatoes. Yet, on an average of 900 acres grown last year, the men who kept lead pencils busy found that it cost them a little better than $19 a ton co produce those tomatoes. We are losing $8 a ton. With an average of six tens to the acre—which is high for the general run—we're giving the company $18 for the. privilege of bringing the tomatoes in to them. . That's only one Crop. Let's find out about more of then. Load pencils are cheap. Farm fertility carted away in the form of crops is expensive. I'm cutting out some of the crops that ars: losing rise money. Shouldn't they be eliminated on more farms? THIS MING TAKE Haod'a Sarsaparilla—A Oeed Blood. purifylno Tpnio Medicine.

Repairs and adjustments will save time. during the rush season, First drain out all oil from crank case, transmission, and differential housings. Then remove all cover plates, so that all parts may be in- spected. Badly warn parts should be replaced, or at least the new parts should be on hand. Remove the pis- tons and rings to see that they are working freely in the grooves. It is important that all carbon deposits be. cleaned from rings and grooves. Wrist -pin bearings can be taken up or rebushed. Crank -pin bearings should be taken up or relined, and scraped its if necessary. After cleating the carbon from the cylinder walls, head, .and valves, care- fully grind the valves. Adjust' Valve push rolls so that valves open ;with proper clearance. Valve guides may be bushed to save contpression. Ex- amine valve springs for wear, and re- place if tension is weak or wear is excessive. Go over the ignition sys- tem and repair all breaks in insula- tion on wires; test magneto for strength of spark. Adjust breaker points. Test spark plugs after clean- ing them, Adjust thrust bearings in differen- tial, if any. Adjust all main bearings of axles and transmission. Be sure that all oil openings are clear anti free. Clean fuel lines and fuel tank and carburetor. Examine radiator, and rinse out thoroughly. Go over entire machine for loose bolts, nuts and rivets. Give all exposed parts a coat of good paint. Last, but not least, refill all grease and oil cups and oil reservoirs with the best lubri- cant you can buy. Webster—Ice-Cream Farmer. A. G.
