The wheel hoe should have an adjustable cut 6% inches, and be thicker all the way up, If it sticks out a little too far it will prevent any strips of weeds being left between the rows. : Let me say here that I am talking of a double wheel hoe--that is, one that straddles the row of vegetables instead of going in between. I'like this kind because it does not matter if- the rows are not exactly parallel, or: if one row runs further than an. other. Anyway, it is not possible to get as close to a row with a single White] hoe ag J is with a double one. On part 'of the e there is an upright that and weeds next to the row, If this is left sharp a good many vegetabl v ; ovion, for instance, wi oiled the outer layers of skin are injured.| When I file or sharpen my hoe I grind down the lower side--as it sets on the ground--and then smooth it down on the opposite side. I think a better edge can be put on this way, and it lasts longer. I take the blades off sometimes, and put them on the grindstone or emery wheel. After you use a wheel hoe for a few years the spindle becomes worn, and this prevents close working around vegetables, because the wheels do not carry the rest of the hoe where you want it to go. 1 bush them when they are worn by using a layer of thin sheet iron. or tin. It lasts a season, and makes the hoe work almost as well as axle will help too. One can buy new axles for less than a dollar, but the other way is about as good, and far cheaper. i For the ordinary sandy soil the one drawback to a wheel hoe is that the soil is cut off in a thin layer on top and then dropped back again, and the! weeds go right along with their growth. We have got around this by making rakes to go on" behind the 'hoes. A. block of 'wood about five bored through it, and No. 8 wire cut in pieces about seven inches Jong is put handle. It some work you want the handle higher, and in some lower. And you may have a boy who will want to run the hoe, and he will be shorter and so want lower handles. ~~ With the coming of warm weather it will be necessary to have shade "the chickens. © Even more to the heat of the sun are covered with boards or burlap are vided, if there dre no trees or shrubs to 'give protection. Some such plan 'may be 'followed on a small ace, but often it is quite possible and more satisfactory to furnish na- tural shade, which can be, dons by growing artichokes, sunflowers, or something of that kind. The arti- chokes can be allowed to grow right in the hen yard if protected until they get well started, for the hens will not eat the leaves, Of course, the Jerusa- lem artichoké is nfeant, the so-called French artichoke being an entirely different plant. * Jerusalem 'artichokes provide good shade when planted rather closely, and- once started, will come up year after year.

Truth to tell, the sun+ ower is not appreciated as it should be, but of course the Russian or mam- moth variety should be grown. These tall sunflowers standing close toge- ther make a good summer hedge and screen the poultry yard as well as providing shade in the fall, Fresh water is needed as much as shade. 'It is best renewed several times a day, but if this requires too much labor, a barrel may be elevated on blocks and a small hole bored near the bottom. A plug with a groove in one side can be driven into the hole, thus allowing water to drip slowly in- to. a_ basin underneath. There are patented drinking fountains on the market which will hold enough to sup- ply a large flock all day. é Vermin are not a pleasant subject for discussion, but they must be reck- oned with when warm weather comes, for then they multiply with almost un- believable rapidity. This is especially true of the red mites which collect on the fowls at night and fill themselves with blood. They are harder to fight than common lice because they leave the hens or chickens in the morning, hiding under the perches or in cracks in the walls. The simplest way to deal with these pests is to use carbolineum or some such thick mixture on the under part of the perches and to spray kL 0! 1 which can be put on easily with a common spray pump. Even if the house 'becomes 'badly infested, all trace of vermin may readily be done away with by this plan, without an excessive amount of labor. ent " "Norwegian Government experi- menters have succeeded in producing a bread containing 20 per cent of fish.
