il>es a four-borne evener to prevent aide draft as follows: Two doubletrees of ordinary length, ■ good tough stick of which to make the long evener, two Iron pulleys which wlU let a strong small link chain work through them, two bolts to go' through the pulleys, and two strap-iron brmcea over the pulleys, will be needed. The stick for tbe evener ahould be 6 feet 4 Inches long, and the Am pulley will be pat on 7 inches from the right end of It, measuring to center of pulley. Measure 1514 Inches from the center of this puUey and bore bole for tbe plow clevis. Now measure 80)4 Inches from the right end of this

Side Draft la Prevented, evener and bore bole for the second pulley bolt so that the two pulleys are 24 Inches apart. It la beat to bore two or three holes at tbe left end of the long evener. Put the first one 8 Inches from the end sad the others 2 and 4 inches farther In.

LIME REQUIRED- BY ALFALFA On Sells Which Are at All Add It Is Absolutely Essential for Successful Stand. Alfalfa Is one cf thf great lime lovers. Reports made to the Iowa experiment 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 lime before seeding yielded at the rate of four tons to the acre, and those which received lime after seeding, at the late of !L8 tons to the sere. Lime generally pays for Itself, even on rolls which are fairly rich In Hue. and on soils which are at all add It Is sbsoiotely essential to successful alfalfa growing to spread lime at the rate of one to two tons to tbe acre. Tbe easy way to spread It 1s with a lime spreader. With the Increasing use of lime, there ahould soon be a lime spreader In every community in the corn belt.

TELL ALFALFA FROM CLOVER Formation of Leaf Enables One to DIstinguleh Plants While Young— Longer When Old. (From tbe United States Department of

Agriculture)

Tbe leaf of alfalfa Is divided into three leaflets, the middle one of which has a abort stem, differing In this respect from red and slstke dovers. In which the center leaflet Is attached direct It at the base. This dlfferencf In the two plants readily enables one to distinguish alfalfa from red clover wben tbe plants are very young. As tbe plants become older tbe leaflets of tbe alfalfa become more elongated than In the dovers.

Trouble Caused by Rapid Growth a™ May Be Prevented by Breaking Off Some cf Roots. Many persons growing their out vcgptable* have <xi*rlenped cpngldfl^ able annoyance In having a large nura-la-r of flna beads of cnbbsge to btrst. iK-fore the vegetable can tie used or

marketed.

The bursting Is canned by rapid growth, and usually occurs after a warm rain which ha* followed a dry spell. It Is surprintng how rapidly the heads will split and push out the center, which Is damaging ^jl—a the cabbage Is used at once. To prevent cabbage from buratlfe go to each bead, and pull It Jo*l enough to oreak a large number of th« small rootlets, but not enough to al* low tbe bead to fall or lean v< ry much to one side. This will lesaen <he amount of moisture and food taken Into the plant and the development df the head, and consequently the bursting will cease. In most case* the cabbage will remain perfect and uninjured, and can be sold or used before any damage result*. Heads of cabbage abort to burst or even those showing tbe first split Qan be kept 1 for several week*, wit bout damage T>y simply following tbe above Instructions carefully.

PREVENT SCOURS IN CALVES Cause of Great Loss to Dairymen Is Dus Almost Entirely to Overfeeding* er Dirty Paila Tbe most fatal disease In calves la tbe scours. This simple trouble Is the cause at our great In** among the calves during tbe first four or live months. It la owing almost Invariably to one of two thing* : either overfeeding, or feeding from dirty pall*. The first thing to d • when thla appears Is to cut down the f<-ed and cleanse tbe pell* thoronghly. Scours are sometimes caused by feeding sour milk and then sweet milk. A good calf can be raised on sour milk If die Is fed sour milk all of the-tlmrf. after be Is a month old and the milk Is In the same degree of sourness when fed. but no one can raise a good calf our milk one feed and sweet milk the next. And no person can raise a bunch ot good calves who feed* from dirty pall*

Possibly the most common mistake made in the growing of strawberries Is that of allowing tbe plants to become too thick.
