Thus we encounter a twofold loss by shearing late in the summer. Either the old-fashioned hand shears or the power sears may be used.

The sheep should not be al/owed to get wet before shearing, as wet wool will mold when packed. In discussing the method If shear- ing I shall refer to a smooth -bodied mutton sheep- free from wriekles. The work requires a boy to turn the crank of the machine and one man to hold the sheen and do thesshearing, unless the machine is hitched up to the gaso- line. engine. The first thing is to set the eheep on its rump in front of the machine. Start shearing at the brisket end breast; shear down over the breast and over the belly, from the right side to the left side, opening, the fleece to the right hind flank as you proceed downward. (Be careful that you do not cut the small teats, especially if it is a Yearling eeve.) •You are then ready to trim out the inside of the hind legs and around the vulva. The next step is for the operator to place his eight foot between the two bind legs of the sheep as it is still on its rump, The left knee of the op- erator is held against the shoulders of the sheep, holding it in position. Grasp the muzzle' of the sheep with the left hand and hold the ewe's head back over the knee. Shear the Ileece from the neck, starting at the brisket and shearing up the throat. .The fleece is divided up the middle Of the neck. After shearing up the neck and around the face,- the sheep is laid flet on the !Moe in front of the machine with all four legs pointing toward the metalline. The side can now be shorn, taiting long sweeping strokes from the 'rump end to the head end. This side ehould be shorn in this manner past the median line of the back. The next Step is to elevate the head and neck of the e.heep by placing it over the operator's left knee. The ani - Mal is now in position to shear mit the top of the head and the back of the neck. The sheep is placed on its rump again and you are ready to shear out the right side. This is accomplished by shearing around the body from right to lei; starting at the ieck, We start at the point left off in shear- ing the left side and finish he stroke ct tho belly line which was opened in the first -operation. The fleece should always be kept ogether and in one piece. It will .be oted, that we have shorn around the heep froth right to left. The fleece thus rolling away from the sheep t all times and neeer conies near the nt -of the sheep to he kicked and orn apart. All fleeces should be tied ndiiridually. First turn thee -fleece ver 'with the skin side next to the tem., Remove ally dirty tags. Place lean tags in centre of fleece and turn n the sides. Start to 'roll the fleece roes the tail end to head end. This Ives es a clean white -appearing eece with the best wool from the hold -flee on the outside. , The fleece should be tied with at eat two -stings; four are better. moon, glazed paper twine should be sed in tying the fleece. Never use sal 'or binder twine for this purpose. Ile email fibres from such twine get to the wool and have to be picked ut .by hand. Some are bolted to bit 'ft in the fleece. When such wool is oven into cloth and dyed, light spots ill show up in the cloth because these sal fibres do not take the dye. Wool ed with binder twine or sisal will be cited on the market. - It pays to take a little time and put an. honest fleece that is neatly tied ith papee twine. • It means more oney in the pecket of the man who es it. Importanee or a Firm Seed Bed, it re ts of S- S. e he does get it fine eiaough he has it ff too loose. AValea demands a fine, o firm seed bed." The loose seed bed is wrong for several reasons. Probably the meet important rdeson is the fact that it loses moisture rapidly and requires an abnormally heavy rainfall to start and mature a crop. The reason that a .loose seed bed is such a poor holder a. moisture is because of the fact that it has so many air spaces, This can very readily be understood by a comparisop of a sandy soil and a clay soil. The sandy soil is naturally looser and containe more air, while the clay soil is heavier and more compact. A sandy soil in good tilth will retain in the surface three inches of soil only 7.8 inches of water, while in the sur- face three inches of clay soil, in good tilth, there will be retained. 15 inches of water. • A loose soil, because of its inability to hold moisture, will not furnish as much plant food as will a firm seed bed. Plants must have their food in liquid form. The seed bed must be the medium for the starting of the croP. Here again a firm seed bed is superior be I In161. 74 Mathew St, West, Toeonto Mean' ceeld be vesy greatly Marne- sf every earrner understood and praeticed correct ead-bed preparation, If you 01.0 leterested th getting bettev yieldfrom yopr crime, I believe it will pay you to give eoine thought te this matter. It was not so vety many years ago that the popular seed bed was one that was extremely loose, This seed bed wa$ mellow and full of air spaees, and dried out raPidly, but became it look- ed good; and even felt good, many a farmer worked mighty hard to secure it. • 00 couthe, not. all of us made this mistake, as is evidenced by the de- velopment of the home-made log roller and the plank dreg, as well as the smooth steel -drum roller. To -day farmers and ageiculturef •experts are almost one in ieeornmend- ing a fine, firm seed bed. An ex- perienced alfalfa grower recently eMted, "I have prepared many differ- ent kinds of seed beds for alfalfa, and I am convinced that mare.failures of alfalfa can be traced to a loose seed bed than to any other condition. Some- times the gamier fails to get his soil fine enough, but very often even when si ti do up 10 sib My experience as a farmer and as a comity representatiese working with other fern:lets has impressed me with the importance of the right kind of a seedbed. I am convinced that many mem failures are dee to the neglect of this veey impOrtant item, and also that the average yield of crops in this oose solI because it supplies the mois- ture so essential to germination sev- eral days quicker than in a loose seed bed. The firmer soil will also tide the young plant over until its root system becomes big enough -and 'well enough eitablished so it can seek its own food and water. The seed bed should not, however, be compact and firm at the sueface, for then surface evaporation would be excessively high and the danger from cracking and backing' tho great. The surface two inches should be mulched and loose. It will then dry out, and will decrease the surface evaporation, for water from the IdWer area will not rise beyond the 'mulch, and hence will not be so rapidly lost... The ideal mulch is granular in strusture, and is not a dust Mulch. It should also be ridged and rough, so as to absorb rainfall readily „without puddling or without an excessive run-off, and also to hinder 'soil blowing. You can pre- pare this ideal seed bed if you only use tlie eight implements at the right time. 'Now that eve know the'essentials of 'a' good seed bed we can consider how eto go about to get it. It means, not only the right distribution of organic matter and fertilizers, good plowing, the right kind of harrowing and disk- ing, bet also the right kind of pulver- izing and packing. The farmer who follows the. one -crop system of farm- ing, and thus depletes the amount of organic Matter in _his soil, making it a hard one to hamdle, the inan who will insist in plowing his ground when it is too wet, the man who does net have power enough, and so is afraid t� set the disks of his harrow at a sharp atigle, and the man who says that a combination pulverizer and packer is not eseential are all making mistakes. The perfect seed bed will tome only .from doing the right thing at the right time, all the time. In other words,' follow a good system of farm- ing, rotate your crops, make economi- cal use of farm manure; make use of the right type of moldboard plow, the right harrow, and then the pulverizer 05 corrugatee roller. No one imple- ment will do' the job.

' Madame IVIontessore in her famous Italian school, has shown us how mar- velously the five senses of even very little children may be trained. Seine of the Montessori methods can be ap- plied by any busy•farm mother with- out expense and at a Teal saving of time, for baby will be "playing" ---en reality, learningl—instead of clinging to Mother's skirts while she tries to work. Numberless familiar household ob- jects teen help to train the five senses. Many children enjoy (blocks and dig- ging and mothers take it for granted that all children enjoy blocks and dig- ging; but children 'axe much keener specialists than we appreciate One small boy witha nurseryful of toys, devoted hours a day to string. All the -verandah chairs became involved in complicated fastenings. Every package which came to the house found him waiting like a little robin for theebit of twine. By the 'time he was four he had acquired such manual facility in tying bows and making string- harness that lie was able to apply his control to :other materials and could do advanced kindergarten work with ease. Manual gymnastics and manual labor are thus connected and can be led from one to the other, for only he who has perfected his own hand can produce a useful object. Another child, to his parents' dis- appointment, took no interest in blocks. He wanted to make animals, not houses. His father bought him some peg blocks to broaden his inter- est and showed bins how to make barns and cagea. The child was pleased, started to work immediately and the parents were convinced that it was merely a case of the child's interests needing stimulation. At the end of three days the son had made an excellent model of—a rhinoceros! Parental interference ceased. This boy, now at the age of five, has an extraordinary knowledge of geo- graphy,gained through his interest in learning where different beasts dwell; and though father and mother grow limp at the mention of natural history, son already has begun his education in that subject even though he hes not yet entered school, If, however, buileling bloeks are a child's chief delight, then everything in the house that makes suitable ma- terial ~and can 'be spared should be his.

The trainer would say, "If I had six feathers and two blew away, how many would 3 have left?" and the pony would tap out four—usually. To add interest thesmother should some- times be the pony and the child the trainer. One child learned the alphabet by means of large letters cut froni heavy cardboard. With these a story game was played. Mrs. Letter A would live in one *ail:, Mrs. Leteer 13 and her daughter, Miss 0, woulhl live in an- other. MTS.

A child old enough not to eat seeds is old enough to col- lect them.

The best thing 1 ever did in the poultry line was to drive six miles for a setting of eggs from well-bred hens, They were the &it We ever had, and it created an appetite for still bet- ter things that laid the foundation of success. Concrete floors in hen houses have proved to be very satisfactory. They not only keep out rats, but they are more readily cleaned of filth. About two inches of dirt thrown upon the concrete floor, and then scratching lit- ter over that makes it all the better. Males from hens which have laid more than 200 eggs in one year are of special value in transmitting the high - producing character to the pullets.

Have you changed ye= mind about ,their being more useful than the old style?" "I'm not going. to spite my face any longer by pulling my nose. That Brown kid took care of nearly twice as muchcorn as I did last summer just because he had a two -row culti- vator. Yelu cannot convince me but what I have been a fool for not Lur- ing one sooner." ' And it is by comparisoe that we learn the best methods of doing things and the best way -to live. A recent study of the practices of six hundred farms brings out many very practical lessons, and telling them here will at least suggest some of the places where we might look for leaks in the cost of Producing farm products. Just read these facts: These farmers find that the use of a corn binder increases the efficiency of man labor fifty per cent. over that achieved wben cutting and shocking by hand. Eighty bushels was an average day's work on these farms for one man when husking corn from the standing stock by hand. The use of a hay -loader reduees by about twenty-five per cent. the time regiiired to put on a load of hay. The amount of labor required for unload - Ing into the mow is only a little more than half as great when a hay -fork ie use(' as when the work is done by hand. The men in this territory who use manure spreaders haul and spread a given amount of manure less than half the time required by men who haul in wagons and spread by hand. A large majority of the men reports Ing, broadcast their small grain, using eralgate Seedees attached to the box of an ordinary wagon. Only about twenty-five per cent. of the farmeth reportieg owe grain drilla. The bulletin analyzes each field op- eration from the standpoint of man - labor „requirements, horse -labor re- quirements, tin of machine, etc. The manner in which the data on plowing have been summarized is typical of the way in which several subjects are treated. About eighty per cent. of the farmers reported the use of sulky plows, about eighty per cent. stated Unit they uee horse-drawn gang plows, and fourteen per eent reported the use of tractors for plowing.

Four -Horse Teams Preferred. As in the case in spring plowing, the fourteen -inch plow seems to cover practically as much ground per day as the sixteen -inch size, provided both' are dra-wn by the same number of hoses. The addition of the fourth horse increases the efficiency of the unit by about ten per cent, and tile additibn of the fifth horse to the six- tegn-inch plow results in a similar increase. Excepting under favorable conditions, a sulky plow seems to be somewhat of an overload for three horses of the size and type lased on these farms. Many Gang -Plows /Med. Over four hundred and fifty men re- ported using horse-draevn gang -plows on their farms. About eighty per cent. of these plows have fourteen -inch bot- toms. Most of the remaining plows have twelve -inch bottoms. Some plows with thirteen -inch bottoms WeXe reported, but the number was so small that no figures on their performance are given. Over three-fourths of the men who use gang -plows also reported the use of sulky plows. A. comparison of an avevag-e day's work for sixteen -inch sulky plows and twenty -eight -inch gang -plows shows that so far as horse labor is concerned the gang -plow drawn by four horses is the most efficierit 'unit in both spring and fall, In the spring this outfit Wr- ens one and a quarter acres per day per horse, while both the sulky plow draevn by three horses, and the gang - plow drawn by five horses cover one acre per day per horse. The gang - plow drawn by six horses covers but nine -tenths of an acre per horse. To the fall four- horses with the gang -plow cover 1.02 acres per horse, while three horses on the milky plow . and five horses on the gang -plow cover 0.80 acre and 0.01 acre per horse, respectively. Four horses on the sulky plow and six horses on the gang -plow cover 0,72 and 0.78 'sere- per horse, respectively. However, the gang -plow is evidently a heavy load for four horses in the fall, excepting under favorable conditions, The twenty- elgetsinch gang -plow is a somewhat heavier load for six horses, the most popular sized team used in the :fall, than is the sixteen -inch sulky for four horses, but is a lighter load than the sixteen -inch sulky for three horses. As far as Man labor is concerned, the gangsplow drawn by six borsee is, of course, the most efficient milt, both in the 'spring and fall, but when horse labor as well as man label- is con- sidered, it is seen that the advantage of this larged unit is somewhat lee- eenet k15, There lee% a member oe the Palnily need suffer froze iidffiention, siek headache's, bilionsness, fermented etoreaoh, ate., if lie of' She will take Chambeelainve Stomaish and Liver Talelehe They eleariee 011* stomarth andhowels and atimulate 'the liver to heal tless aotivity and tone teethe whole Byetem.
