Two Ordinary Doubletrees, Good, Tough Stick, Two Iron Pulleys for Strong Chain and Two Braces, Are Needed. In response' to numerous queries Wisconsin Agriculturist Illustrates and describes n four-horso evener to pre vent side draft as follows : Two doubletrees of ordinary length, n good tough stick of which to make the long evener, two Iron pulleys which will let a strong small link chain work through them, two bolts to go through the pulleys, and twq strap-Iron braces over the pulleys, will bo needed. The stick for the evener should be 5 feet 4 Inches long, and the first pul ley will be put on 7 Inches from the right end of It, measuring to center of pulley. Measure 15 inches from the center of this pulley and bore hole for the plow clevis. Now measure 30 inches from the right end of this Side Draft Is Prevented. evener and bore hole for the second pulley bolt so that the two pulleys are 24 Inches apart. It Is best to boro two or three holes at the left end of the long evener. Put the first one 3 Inches from the end and the others 2 and 4 inches farther In. This evener works one horse In the fur row and' three on the unturned land with no side draft, say those who have used It LIME REQUIRED BY ALFALFA On Soils Which Are at All Acid It Is Absolutely Essential for Success ful 8tand. Alfalfa Is one of the great lime lovers. Reports made to the Iowa ex periment station Indicate that In an average of over a thousand fields, those which received no lime yielded 8.4 tons to the acre, while those that received lfme before seeding yielded nt the rate of four tons to the acre, and those which received lime after seeding, at the rate of 3.8 tons to the acre. Lime generally pays for Itself, even on soils which are fairly rich In lime, and on soils which are at nil acid It is absolutely essential to successful alfalfa growing to spread lime at the rate of one to two tons to the acre. The easy way to spread It is with a lime spreader. With the increasing use of lime, there should soon be a lime spreader in every community In the corn belt. TELL ALFALFA FROM CLOVER Formation of Leaf Enables One to Dis tinguish Plants While Young Longer When Old. 1 i (From the United States Department of Agriculture.) The leaf of alfalfa is divided into three leaflets, the middle one of which has a short stem, differing In this re spect from red and nlslke clovers, In which the center leaflet Is attached di-. rectly at the base. This 'difference In the two plants readily enables one to distinguish al falfa from red clover when the plants are very young. As the plants become older the leaf lets of the alfalfa become more elon gated than in the clovers. METHODS OF DOCKING LAMBS Burning With an Iron Is Favored by Kansas Expert Wound Is Seared and Doesn't Bleed. When docking lambs the four feet of the animal should be held together tightly against the body of the opera tor, points out A. M. Paterson, Instruc tor in animal husbandry in the Kan sas State Agricultural college. There are two methods of docking. One is by cutting off with a sharp knife nnd the other Is by burning with a docking Iron. The latter is preferred, especially if the lamb has a large tail. The hot iron sears over the wound and prevents bleeding.' If tho lambs are old it is well to tie a string around the stump to prevent bleeding. COMFORTS FOR WORK HORSES Proves Small Pasture Which They Can Be Turned Into After Day's Work Does Them Good. One of tho best things you can do Is to provide a small pasture for your work horses. It should be near the barn so tho herses can bo easily" turned into it euch night after they come from tho field. A bite of green grass, a roll and nn hour or two out In tho open will do them n world of good. On hot nights leavj them out all night. The work the following day can bo much more easily done If such comforts aro provided. BURSTING HEAD OF CABBAGE Trouble Caused by Rapid Growth and May Be Prevented by Breaking Off Some of Roots. Many persons growing their own vegetables have experienced consider able annoyance in having a large num ber of fine heads of cabbage to burst, before the vegetable can be used or marketed. The bursting Is caused by rapid growth, and usually occurs after n warm ruin. which has followed a dry spell. It Is surprising how rapidly the heads will split and push out from, the center, which Is damaging unless the cabbage is used nt once. To prevent cabbage from bursting, go to each head, and pull It Just enough to break a large number of the small rootlets, but not enough to al low the head to fall or lean very much to one side. This will lessen tho amount of moisture nnd food taken Into tho plant nnd the development of the head, and consequently the burst lng will cease. In most enses the cab bage will remain perfect nnd unin jured, nnd can, be sold or used before any dnmago results. Heads of cabbage about to burst, or even those showing the first split, can bo kept for several weeks, without damage by simply following the above instructions carefully. PREVENT SCOURS IN CALVES Cause of Great Loss to Dairymen Is Duo Almost Entirely to Over feeding or Dirty Palls. The most fatal dlscnso In calves Is the scours. This simple trouble Is the cause of our great loss among the cnlves during the first four or flvo months. It is owing almost invnrlably to one of two tilings: either overfeed ing, or feeding from dirty pails. The first thing to do when this appeurs Is to cut down the feed and cleanse tho palls thoroughly. Scours are sometimes caused by feeding sour milk and then sweet milk. A good cnlf can be raised on sour milk if he Is fed sour milk nil of the time after he is a month old and the milk is In the-same degree of sourness when fed, but no one can raise a good calf on sour milk one feed and sweet milk the next. And no person can raise a bunch of good calves who feeds from dirty pails. CORNER POST ON A HILLSIDE Simple, Cheap and Satisfactory Meth od Is Described and Shown in Il lustration Herewith. To anchor a corner post on a hill side, set the corner post 4 feet deep, the second post should be not less than 2 feet deep nnd tall enough so the top will be level .with tlje ground nt the Corner Post on Hillside. corner post, says a writer In Tho Farm er. A wooden brace rests on the top of the second post und ugalnst the cor ner post at or near the top. A wire brace fastens to lower end of wood brace and to corner post ut the ground, and should be ncurly level. THIN OUT THE STRAWBERRY Most Common Mistake to Allow Plants to .Become Too Thick Row Becomes Solid Mass. Possibly the most common mlstuke mude in the growing of strawberries Is that of allowing tho plants to be come too thick. Most varieties of strawberries when properly cared for produce so many runners that the row becomes a solid mass of plants. When this Is the condition the grow er Is producing plants at the expense of fruit SUPERIOR ALFA'.FA 0R HAY Best Time to Cut Crop Is When Young Shoots at Bases of the Plants First Appear. In general, alfalfa should.be cut for I finv ntliAn flm tlllll .1 If ul.Ailn ni- bases of the plants first appear. If these new shoots become long enough to be cut off by the mower, the new crop may be badly damaged. The blos soms often appear simultaneously with the new shoots, but blossoms alone aro not a safe guide to the time for cut ting. DETERMINE ABILITY OF COW Milk Scale and Babcock Test, Assisted by Judgment of Eye, Are Most Practical Means. ' The cow Is very much like a race horse when It comes to Judging her ability to perform. Both tho race horse and the cow must be Judged by means of the eye usslsted by the rec ord of performance. The milk scale and the Itabcock test, assisted by Judgment of tho eye, are the best means of exercising Judgment la building up a profitable dairy herd. mm PROPORTION OF MALE FOWLS One Rooster to Fifteen Hens Is About Right With Larger Breeds, Such as Plymouth Rock. Birds of the general-purpose class, such as tho Plymouth Rocks, Wyan dottcs, Rhode Island Reds, Orpingtons, etc., usually require one mnlo to 15 females, depending upon the vigor of the male. Among birds of lighter Barred Plymouth Rock Cockerel. breeds, such as Leghorns, Anconns, Camplncs, Hnmburgs, etc., ono malo is sufficient for a flock of 20 females. About ten days should bo allowed for the fertilization of tho flock by the mnle. However, In small flocks, such ns four or five females, only four or five days Is needed. GOOD MEDICINE FOR FOWLS- On Account of High Price of Perman ganate of Potash Substitute la Sought by Poultry Men. (Storrs Experiment Stntlon.) Many poultry men have been using permanganate of potash to prevent tho spread of colds and other catarrhal diseases. .During tho past two years this product has risen in price from 50 cents to $2.50 to $3 per pound; thus it is not surprising that a good substi tute is being looked for. One authority suggests the use of hlucstone or copper sulphate, which can be used as follows : Dissolve four ounces of tho bluestono In a quart of water, this to. bo known as a stock so lution. Add ono ounce of this solu tion to each gallon of the drinking wa ter. This can perhaps bo well used for a short period, but should not bo too long continued. Furthermore, ono ought to uso en ameled or carthenwaro vessels, as tho copper sulphate solution may produce undesirable chemical changes when used in galvanized pans. GUINEA FOWL IS PROFITABLE Large Farms Now Being Established Where Guineas Are Being Raised for Meat Purposes. . Raising guinea fowls In Kansas Is profitable, according to N. L. Hnrrls, superintendent of the Kansas Stato Ag ricultural college poultry farm. "Large farms are now being estab lished where guineas aro raised for meat purposes," said Mr. Harris. "Tho eggs are small nnd consequently aro of little value commercially. "Guinea fowls are easy to raise. They are noisy and good fighters nnd are not subject to tho nttacks of hnwks. "There Is a good market for guinea fowls. The meat of tho young guineas resembles that of prairie chickens and wild ducks. The clubs and stylish :ares use the guineas as a substltuto for ducks, prairie chickens, quail, and other game which the laws make it Im possible for them to secure."

Tho munition output of India has In two years -been Increased a thousand fold, mainly through tho discovery that one of India's commonest blossoms, tho flower of the mahua or mhowrn tree, contains acetone In quantity. This trco is widely known to all travelers in Britain's Asiatic empire, but Its uso as n base for explosives Is at least ono thing new under the sun, says the Scientific American. When the war broke out, ncctono, which forms the chief ingredient of cordite, was extracted mainly from wood, malzo, and starch ; and the Brit ish ndmlrnlty erected a grent factory for the process of acetone recovery from starch. But fortunntcly two Eng lish scientists In Hyderabad discovered that tho mahua iiowers contained ace tone in larger proportions than It is found In any other vegetable substance that this I -offensive bloom was ten times richer In the matcrlul in ques tion than any known wood. In fact, the director general of ordnance for India reports that tho mahua is by all odds the best source for acetone known. Manufacture on n lnrge scale Is now under way nnd it is whispered that tho abundance of munitions with which tho British forces In Mesopotamia ap pear to be blessed is to bo attributed to tho now discovery.
