There Is more or less carting to be { lone on every farm , and it is not al ways a good plan to do the lugging an 1 waste more or less strength , which plight be saved by the sled -\vheel- parrow. The illustration sliows how easily the farm barrow , whether of the box type , as shown , or with the flaring sides , may be utilized. A broad runner is made ( see figure 1) ) of two pieces , ? f inch board , with an upright piece which holds the runner to the axle of the baiTow. This runner is faced with sheet iron ( the blacksmith can put it on at small expense ) , which also runs up at the ends. Remove the axle from the bar row , if it is round , as it probably is. and insert a square axle of wood. Have a piece of iron made like that shown at figure 2 , and apply it to axle and runner , as showu in figure 3. It should be screwed to tne upright strip , which Is fastened in the runner , and bolted to the axle. This sled barrow can easily WHEELBARROW ON RUNNERS. be made by following the directions and the plain illustration ; will cost but little and save much labor. Mules for Market. The advantage of a mule over a horse is lie can be taught to turn ahort- gr , thus preventing the breaking dowi ! of vegetables or other plants. He can 0 in rougher places , Is not affected by heat as bad as the horse , and re quires less attention In the way of lurrying , rubbing , etc. His feet being smalLr , lie can walk closer to the row of growing plants. To make a good mule worth from 50 to $80 at weaning time or $140 co $100 as a 2yearold. . he should be foaled from a large mare in April 01 May. He should run with the dam until October 1. then be weaned. At : this time he should be at least 52 Inches , Pnt him in ashed with plenty of light , and feed oats , with clover and imothy hay. Twomuch corn fevers he legs a'od produces scratches. The aecct summer he should have access to pasture , with a little corn each day , mtil cold weather , when he should be jmiipht back to the barn. At 2 or 2 % 'ears old he should be 10 hands high , 'at and ready for market. I-'ffects of l > rnlnnSe. By means of drainage of land the rnrlous chemical actions which take jlace through the action of the atmos phere on the surface soil are carried flown to a greater or less pxtent into the subsoil , for as the water level Is owered the air enters from above to 111 the cavities of the soil By drain age , also , the depth to which root * will penetrate is increased , for the roots will not grow in the absence of oxygen , and rot as soon as they reach a permanent water level.

The United States Government has commenced the work of irrigating 2 - 000,000 acres of land in Central Wash Ington from the Spokane river. The best remedy for lice in poultry houses is to add a pound of concen trated lye to a wash-boiler of soap suds and to apply the suds hot on the walls , floors and roofs of the houses. All lice , with their nits , will thus be destroyed surely and quickly. An excellent way to test seeds Is to place a few between two flannel cloths , dampening the cloths with warm water , placing them in a warm location and keeping them moist. Some of the seeds will germinate if kept at an even temperature. Another meth od is to p'ant a few In a cigar box fill ed with earth. The winter Is the time to clean up the farm. On some farms the waste water Is thrown near the house ; dead grass and weeds accumulate , and filth in various forms exists. Cold weather hides many disagreeable things , for then tfiefe are no odors , but the filth remains , however , and decay begins with the warm weather and spring. Every farm needs a good cleaning up at least once a year. If butter is a specialty on the farm the pigs are necessary to insure a profit. In the winter season the feed ing of skim milk and buttermilk to pigs is the best and cheapest mode of making pork. With a clover patch for the pigs to occupy in summer and a mess of bran and buttermilk at night they will grow rapidly without any other food. If pigs are confined in pens they should have the grass cut and thrown into the pens , as they should have some kind of bulky food.
