The Illustration shows a home-made device fw -rolling barbed w-i re wbka will work well mid enable one to han dle the wire without trouble. Use any sort of a sninll barrel and nail the ends In tiplit and fee that all hoops are securely fastened on. On the cen ter of each end or head nail a block of wood thick enough to be alxive the level of the edges of chimes. Through this bore a hole Into the barrel. Make handles of material an Inch thick, two inches wide nnd five feet long. Take ui iron rod, puss It through the ends of the handles and through the bar rel, as shown In the cut, fastening at the ends with a nut Nail a piece of board across the handles, or use iron bars, If iHBwIble, to stiffen the bandies, and the machine Is complete. Stretch the wire out on the ground, fasten one end to the barrel and then simply roll the barrel over the wire until the lat ter ie wound around the barrel. Hay In Rnnnd flalea. The cylindrical bale has become very popular for hay and cotton, and many shippers are discarding their old presses to get one that will press It In this form. The standard bale Is eight een Inches In diameter and thirty-six Inches long. The pressure used In packing for home use puts about two hundred pounds In such a bale, but when Intended for export they use higher pressure and get In about 275 pounds. A bale put up for army use Is but half as long, or eighteen Inches, and welgs about 140 pounds. It Is cal culated that a good pack horse or mule will travel with one of these on each side, and they can go where the army wagons could not. Thousands of tons of these round bales have been shipped to our army In the Philippines, and a large amount to the British army In South Africa. In this form a given weight of hay Is compressed into about one-half the space that It occupied In the square bale, and the fact that It does not pack as closely In car or ves sel, there being spaces between the bales, which prevents moulding, pre serves the sweetness of the hay, and the close pressure In the bale reduces the combustibility. For cotton many of the same advantages are claimed for the round bale, that Is, getting more in small space and reducing the danger from fire. American Cultivator. Cutting Potatoes for Seed. Here are some outline drawings showing how to cut rxxtatoes for seed, la the first case the prfo 1" cut in two pieces; In the second and third, In tlrree and four respectively. By cut ting potatoes as indicated about ten burihela of seed are required per acre. Much of the Buecews with the crop de pends on starting right. With a good strong growth at the iitJirt the battle Is half won. The other half of the battle may he won by proper spraying and tillage. The Strawberry Pcafa. The most objection to continuing to keep the strawberry bed In one place for several years Is not the exhaustion of the soil, because the fertility can be applied. It is not the matting of the row, because after runners have put out "into the paths between them, l they are worked mellow and enriched, the old row of plants can be cut out, leaving the path there, and the new plants can be thinned, If too abundant, and the weeds can be taken out, but Insect pests are bo numerous now that It may be easier to set a new bed than to try to kill them. Thpre are more than a dozen that are well known, and the root borer, crown borer, stalk borer, leaf rollers, cutworms and grubs are probably those which do the most dam age. Nearly every one of these can be found In tbe anil aa egg, larvae or pupa soon after the fruit is picked, and when any of tbem have been especially rroubleaome, we would advise the set ting a new bed at some distance from the old one, and plowing up tbe old bed In August, which will destroy most of them. If any plants are taken from FOR R0I.LIN0 BARBED WIRE. TOTATOE8 CUT FOR 8 FT. I). the old bed to get In the new ene, wash all soil from their roots before they are set, to prevent carrying the pest to the new bed, and reject all that are not strong and vigorous. American Cultivator. Our Farmer Ariatocrsta. Tales of sudden wealth are quite com mon In the famous Kansas and Okla homa wheat belt; fine houses, modern in every appointment, are the rule; ruhber-tired buggies and automobiles are nothinc to attract attention. In cer tain communities even the farmer has grown metropolitan to the extent of building an opera house on a school lot and securing some of the best attrac tions in the theatrical line. It was not until the present winter that Wichita could affcrd a guarantee for certain notable singers. Among those occupy ing front seats were well-known wheat growers. Farmers' daughters and fanners' sons form a goodly part of the Kansas society element, while piano salesmen look to them for their quick deals. It Is nothing uncommon for a farmer to come to town and buy two or three rubber-tired buggies, or even to place an order for an automobile. Mr. I. YV. Blaine, a rich farmer of Pratt County, superintends all his har vesting hi an automobile. Many oth ers are equally plutocratic. One of the richest fanners in the Kan sas wiieat licit is John T. Stewart, who came to the State five years ago. He Isirrovved $"i0 from a friend, rented a quarter section of land In Sumner County and began work. To-day he Is worth $2,000,000, and his income from wheat in 1W1 was $fr4,000. He Is known as the wheat king of Kansas. There are twenty-three millionaires In Kan sas, fifteen of whom are farmers living on farms and running them as an In vestment. Perhaps they have not all of their fortune Invested In land, but a goodly portion of It is. Solomon Bes ley, of Wellington, placed $31,000 in wheat land last year and realized 30 per cent on his Investment, or ten times as much as he receives from money loaned In Illinois. Ainslee's Magazine BnowahotR for Horses. Over the light crust that form on the snow in the dense forests and deep gulchee of Northern Idaho the horoes of the win ter mall carriers make their way on snow shoes, and wooden snow shoes at that. These shoes are made with a dou ble thickness of Inch boards, the whole about 20 Inches long and 14 wide. An in 8.NOWSHUKS. dention to fit the horse's foot Is brand ed in with a hot horse shoe, and an Iron clamp, secured by a screw bolt, holds It over the hoof. Alfalfa on Sandy Soil. The claim that alfalfa will not thrlvt on sandy soil Is not borne out by ex periment. Col. B. W. Richards, secre tary of the Laurel Hill Cemetery Com pany, who has a farm at Hainmouton, X. J., has grown alfalfa for several years, and on a plot consisting of white sand. The plot was seeded In August, 18i8, and another later. As many as four or five cuttings are secured every season, and from two to three tons of hay per acre are cured. Manure Is spread over the land every fall and Hnie (mostly from burnt oyster shells) Is broadcasted. The land has become very productive, and more animals were necessary In order to consume the hay produced. The experiment 's a valuable one, as It demonstrates what can be done with alfalfa on the lightest kind of sand. llillndelphia Record. In Favor of Sheep. It Is sometimes asserted that cattle and sheep require the same amount of feed per 1,000 pounds of live weight, according to Prof. Curtlss. This state ment seems not to be well founded, In some experiments at the Iowa sta tion the cattle consumed 1D.0 pounds of dTy matter per 1,000 pounds of live weight against an average of 20.7 by the sheep. Both cattle and sheep wero on full feed. The sheep made a dally galu of 3.73 pounds per 1,000 pounds of live weight and the cattle 2.11. In summing up this comparison we find that while the sheep ate 4 per cent more than the cattle they gained near ly 75 per cent more. Topdreaelng Winter Wheat. In some sections of the country It. Is a practice to top drees the wheat In the fall, and this regardless of the quan tity of fertilizer applied to the field before seeding. This is an excellent plan and should be more generally prac ticed. Tbe Idea. Is to apply this top dressing immediately after seeding, us ing a manure spreader arranged so that the manure will be scattered evenly but quite thin. Durlifg the winter thf) strength of the manure Is washed down to the roots of the plants while the coarser portion acts a a mulch. Feed Bulky Food. Growing animals need bulky food to keep the stomach distended? Whey feeding Illustrates the point to an ex treme. One hundred pounds contain only about seven pounds of solids. The animal therefore must drink and void nine-three pounds of water to get tbe seven pounds dry matter. While not an Ideal food, the growth obtained serves to show a demand for bulk. French Holla. Two quarts of sifted flour, a pint of warm milk, half a cup of butter melted in the milk; a quarter of a tup of su gar, three or four eggs beaten light, a little salt, a half cake of compressed yeast dissolved In a little warm milk. Make a batter of the milk and flour, add the eggs and sugar, Ix-at hard for Ufteen minutes. Cover the pan and set to rise over night if for luncheon, in the morning if for tea. Knead them well, but do not add any more flour. Make them Into shape, and let them rise again until light. Hake about fifteen minutes in a quick oven. For linns add cinnamon. SI: t t!ie flour be fore measuring, and measure lightly. Crearn Filling for Chocolate Cake. For a delightful chocolate creme fill ing for layer cake try the following: One and a quarter squares of choco late, one cupful of sugar, three-quarters of a cupful of flour, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of salt, two ctipftila of milk, two eggs and a tenspooiiful of vanilla. Melt, the chocolate in a double boiler; mix the sugar and flour, salt and milk, and arid the two eggs slight ly Itoaten. (';)! 1 he mixture fifteen minutes in a double Ixiiler, then add the chocolate and one teaspoonful of vanilla. When cold, spread between the layers of cake. Stuffed I'cppera. Take three green peppers, wash them, then put them in hot grease and blanch until tender. Remove from the fire and again wie the skins with a cloth. Cut off the tops and take out the seeds. Take one ounce of butter, chop up a few shallots and fry in the butter, add ing a few chopped mushrooms. Sea son with tomato puree, thickened with bread crumbs, and put this filling into the peppers. Place on the dish and serve with bechamel sauce. Fudge. Two cups of granulated stigar, half a cup of milk, a piece of butter a little larger than an egg, a little salt, and seven teaspoonfuls of Raker's cocoa. Roil twelve minutes. Add three tea spoons of vanilla, and stir for three minutes. Remove from the fire. Pour, caramel thickness, Into buttered tins. When partially cold, mark off in quares. The Wh Boiler. Many people complain that the boiler ;usts and Iron molds the clothes. This may be entirely prevented by rubbing the boiler well with any good kitchen oap immediately after emptying It and 'hlle It Is warm. (.Jive It a liberal coat ing, remembering the soap is not wast ?d, as it all goes Into and helps the Urst filling the the boiler next washing lay. Fro.en Hnapberries. Two quarts of raspberries, one pint of nigar and one quart of water. Boil the water and sugar together fifteen mln- ltes, add the berries and cook fifteen minutes longer. When cold add the lulec of three lemons and freeze. When he beater Is taken out add one pint of whipped cream. Ham burn; Steak. Two pounds of the round of beef chopped very fine; press it into a flat Htenk, Hprlnkle with wait and pepper and a little onion juice; flour it light y and broil the same as lKefstek. Make a Irrown gravy with a little soUp stock; thicken with flour. Brief Hints. Carry a lighted match with the light ed end from you to keep It from going nut To set the dye in cotton stockings put a good handful of common salt in the washing water. Iron the silk fronts of embroidered blockings with a warm Iron to make them bright and shiny. To polish fretwork first rub It over with sandstone, then dip a cloth in lin seed oil and rub the wood well with It. When ripping up the neams of an ild skirt, If the ripping Is started from the iKittom, the goods are much less likely to tear at the edges. A little pipeclay dissolved In the water employed In washing clothes will vaatly Improve their color and will irove a great saving of time, trouble ind soap. Keep all hooks and eyes and buttons firmly sewed on, thus avoiding the temptation to use pins nnd saving the wear on your skirt bands. Nothing wears and tears out bands so quickly is pinning. An admirable Idea for cramped bed rooms Is to have a long mirror set In the closet door; extra hooks on the oth r side and a skirt banger or so never oitie amiss, and a bag below them for boots and slippers Is very desirable. To clean wood tables and shelve use his mixture: Half a pound each of soft nnp and Hand and a quarter of t pound of lime. Mix and apply with a crobblng briiah, Ulnae with plenty yt clean water and when dry the wood ill be spotlerwly white. The cleaning of windows may be rrctly facilitated by first dusting tbem with wbltlng. Hew up some whiting n a small linen bag and nib the whole window and ledges, Rub this off with a ough cloth and polish with chamois. not her plan is to rub tbe glass with t chamois, dampened with whiting, and polish with soft elotb.
