BOOKSHELF FOR MOTHER.
Any Boy Handy at .Carpentering Can
Do It and Weil For Christmas-
, In alrxfost every hoaseholcV there L?
eome one who is handy with tools,
says the American Agriculturist.
To prove its assertion It prints the
following story by .lames B. Duncan
and a picture that shows the result of
painstaking effort
A bookcase large enough to bold 100
books is an adornment to any house
hold, and the youngster who is clever
enough to gather in some nice bits of.
pine wood and then tackle the tcol
box inx the barn will be sure to have
something extra from mother in his
Christmas stocking.
Here are the rules to follow:
In the use of all edge tools. If yon
would avoid cracks and splitting, be
patient and do not attempt to remove
wood too rapidly, although the tool
should be always kept with perfectly
sharp edges. There is much marking
out to do. and as this must be accu
rately done a good sharp pencil should
always be at hand. In sandpapering
it is bptt to wrap the paper around
a block, as the result is more uniform
than when the paper is supported by
the hand.' alone.
The three shelves, which are identi
cal in every particular, should be
smoothly nnished. giving particular
attention to the ends, as these are
visible through the side strips. In or
der to fit around the four corners of
the uprights, the tour corners of these
must be notched out These uprights,,
after having buti out to length,
smoothly finished and the .corners
rubbed down verj lightly with sand
paper, should hiive thejocatiou of the
shelves marked on rhem and then
have the holes bored for the screws.
From half inch wood cut out font
bracket such a length as to fit
closely beiweeo. the two uprights of
each end. Six little side strips, meas
uring one-fourth by one inch, ar re
quired, which should be flat oa top
and pointed at their end.
In assembling make a hole in the
corner of each shelf and carefully try
EXPERIMENT FARMS' VALUE.
They Open the Eyes of Farmers to the
Possibilities of Their Land.
The demonstration farm is just as
necessary to the agriculturist as are he
open air encampment and the sham
battle to the militiaman. The reading
of military tactics can never teach a
man either to stand steady under fire
or to capture an . entrenched, enemy.
We know this because of the many
Instances where even a brief visit made
by some neighboring farmer to these
experimental farms has utterly chang
ed practices which have existed for
generations, practices which during
some seasons have proved fairly suc
cessful and which have caused abso
lute failure onlyat intervals.
For example, shallow plowing got' a.
black eye during the season of drought
when the farmers noted the result at
the experimental stations of deep plow
ing aided by frequent shallow cultiva
tion, a method which kept corn green
without wilt and,produced a big crop
of fully filled ears, to say nothing of
keeping the potato plants green and
healthy until a normal crop was ma
tured. The early planting of such extremely
hardy vegetables as carrots and onions,,
which with them assures a good start
because of the invariably copious rain
fall of early spring, was only adopted
when dry weather set In earlier than
usual, and we by this method had as-'
sured ourselves a crop. In like man
ner the spraying of fruit trees annual
ly, systematically and thoroughly "wa
only brought about in the ' neighbor
hood by the extremely healthy appear
ance of the small demonstration or
chards at the experimental stations,
the farmers saying little, but being
quick to note the dark green of th
foliar- nnd the handsome appearance
and juiciness of the highly flavored
fruit H. B. Fullerton in Craftsman.

I thought my wife was extravagant
when she bought one of those new
fangled bottles for Keeping liquids hot,
but it has proved xry convenient' In

a new, use for it. on the farm I am as

A CHICK FOUNTAIN.
Can Be Made by Anybody, a.nd the Lit
tle .Peepers Enjoy It Immensely..
Here's ' an ingenious little fountain
for ! keeping a constant supply of wa
ter, for youthful chickens. It is simple
in the extreme to make, and any boy
who, can use a saw, and drive a nail
can make one in an hour. Just take
two 'pieces , of board, one six inches
square and the other 6 by 12 and nail
them so as to form a right angle. Get
an old milk bottle and nail two this

strips of tin so that the bottle will slip
easily in and out and remain support
ed head down.
Then nail the lid of a tin can under
the mouth of the bottle, and enough
water will escape to eep the little re
ceptacle always full and be handy for
the chicks to get at whenever they
want to liquidate their little bills. It
goes without saying that the contrap
tion should be kept in a cool, sLady:

WANT REAL PARCELS POST.
Entirely Too Much Energy Wasted on
Rpads From Town to Country.
As to some products of, the farm,
there is a difference of 40 to 50 per
cent between the price that the grower
receives and the price that the con
sumer pays. There are even cases in
which this price difference amounts to
300 per cent. Part of the loss Is due
to a bad system of retail distribution, .
as when a dozen city milk wagons
travel over the same route, each de -livering
one bottle here and another
bottle there, when one wagon might aa
well make all the deliveries along the
route. This same waste appears even
more markedly between the farm and
.the town. How many fully loaded!
wagons do you pass in driving to
town ? From a dozen- farms a dozen
packages of butter, poultry or vege
tables may go to town the same morn
ing, each in a different vehicle. Every
day a doica parcels of merchandise
are hauled out of town along the same
roa,d in a' dozen different conveyanceSi
and the time and labor of eleven men
and eleven horses go for nothing. The
rural free delivery mail wagon now'
comes to your house with a load that
you could put in one or two bushel
baskets, and it goes back to town with
an even smaller load. Under present
conditions it looks as if the postoffice
department was not giving the farmer
his money's worth. Country Gentle
