FARM `
THE OLD BARN FRAME HELPEDA.
When we tore down the old barn to
give place for the new one, there were'
n good many pieces of sills, beams.
glrts and braces that could not 'be us-
nd in the new frame. The most of
these were of hemlock, dry as a bone.
They would have made fine summer
wood or klndling,.arld there was a
temptation to use them this way.
I like to save every possible piece
ofboard or -timber that I come across,
and so I said: "Boys, we will pile up
these old beams and other timbers so
that they will not rot. It- many he
that some day we shall be glad we
have them." '
Those posts, sills, beams and girts‘
have been a cons-.tant source of supply
in building all _sorts of things. I-f the
buildings we have put up since were
over to be torn down, parts of the old
barn frame would be found in...ho.g
house, hen house, ice house and grain-
nryn- And they have saved me no
small amount .for new lumber or for
timbers hewed out in the woods.
:nn sure some of the old blocks are
still about the place, waiting to he

CLEAN OUT THE FENCE ROWS.
On a recent little trip round 1115’ P1111
of the country I could not help no-
ticing thnt on many farms the line be-
tween adjoining fields is badly grown
up io brllsll.
Stop and think for o moment what
the brush and trees which grow along
such lilies do. in the first place, they
take u great deal of fertility _out of
the soil. . 'l`ho roots extend far out each
way. This root system demands nour-
ishment. No man who has such 11
row can fail to notice that the crops
grown .alongside are poor and never
well 'developed The goodness -has
oil gone out ot the soil into -the wood
growth. <And then, in_ _-every such
ruse, there is a strip of land each S1119
of the line than can not be tllled at
oil. lt is practically waste land.
To clear these rows out is not such
ti intra job. 'rue main thins is to set
nt it and do it. A sharp axe, a bush
hook and at stent. .gcythe are the tools
needed. Large saplings can be i111\1°d
out with rthe tractor. The -best time.
to make fairly sure that 'U10 S1115

after haying. The sap is then up in
the branches and trunk and one cut-
ting will be .practically the, end of the
matter. The brush ought to be piled.

WORK ON A DAIRY FARM
The writer of these notes spent a
week recently on a dairy and fruit
farm and did all kinds of Jobs from
milking. and herding cows, to roofing
liulldlhss. and making cement troughs
for 0. pig-pen. He wishes to testify to
the herd work and to express 'his syml-
puthy with “the msn beside the cow.”
For the brain worker it is one of the
best experiences he can have. Nerves
which are unstrung, and a -brain
which is completely tagged after a
year of teaching are repaired as it
by magic. There are thousands of men ‘
and ‘women who should spend at
least a. week on a farm each year--
not merely .idling away time, but they
need to get on _ n. pair of overalls, a
stout pair of shoes, good socks, and a
working shirt, topping all with a
straw hut..and then they are ready
for any job. Hurd on the hands? Well,
I should say so! My hands were like
those of a, "navvy." Some friends call-
ed to see me one day when I was in
working garb and to say they were
astonished is putting it mildly. They
were too polite to say anything direct-i
ly, but I saw from their faces that
they were more than surprised that rt
