BUSINESS BITS. 
It is always well to prepare in advance 
of the harvest, so that when the busy time 
comes all will be in readiness. It is not 
too soon to look after fruit baskets for 
next season. Besides, you can usually buy 
cheaper early in the season. The Pierce- 
Williams Co., So. Haven, Mich., will be 
glad to send catalogue free, giving infor¬ 
mation regarding the Climax boxes. 
Naturally enough dealers are opposed 
to the policy of manufacturers that sell 
direct to the consumer. This may account 
for your hardware man not recommending 
the Advance fence. It is sold direct to 
farmers at wholesale prices, and no dealer 
can buy it a cent cheaper than the farmers 
can. It’s a good fence, and even though 
the time for fence building is far off it will 
be well to send for circulars and prices 
now. Address Advance Fence Co., 172 K 
St., Peoria, Ill. 
Bad plowing is the rule and not the 
exception—furrows crooked, of irregular 
depth, balks, etc. Harrowing with spike 
or spring-tooth drags only makes matters 
worse. Use an Acme pulverizing harrow, 
clod crusher and leveler with sloping coult¬ 
ers, which will cut, lift, turn and pulverize 
the soil and fill hollows without dragging 
up sods and rubbish, thus leaving a smooth, 
perfect seed bed. The Acme will be sent to 
any responsible farmer on trial, to be re¬ 
turned at the expense of the manufac¬ 
turer if not satisfactory. Address Duane

ODDS AND ENDS. 
I have fed several barrels of the waste 
molasses from beet sugar factories. I like 
it as a feed very much for horses and cows. 
I feed a horse two quarts a day with other 
feed; cows the same, and they increase 
in flow of milk at once when we commence 
feeding it. The cost is $1.50 per barrel at 
factory. w. s. t. 
East Maine, N. Y. 
Grass For Wet Soils.— Prof. Jones, of 
the Vermont Experiment Station, advises 
the following mixture for wet ground: 
Timothy, 10 pounds; Alsike Jclover, six 
pounds; Red-top (recleaned), four pounds; 
Fowl meadow (in chaff), 10 pounds. These 
should be sown in midsummer without a 
nurse crop. The Timothy and Red-top are 
apt to take the ground at first, and may 
predominate for the first two or three years 
even. But as they succumb to the wetness 
of the soil the Fowl meadow-grass takes 
their places, and presently will be found to 
have occupied nearly the whole territory. 
Farmers who have low, wet meadow land, 
where Red-top and Timothy do not succeed, 
should look carefully into the merits of 
Fowl meadow-grass. It is native and 
hardy, and not controlled by any trust. 
Centralized School Tax.— I have noticed 
two or three articles on centralized schools 
in recent issues of The R. N.-Y., and think 
the woman from Ohio has drawn a perfect 
picture of the “kid wagon,” as parties con¬ 
tracting to draw the children put their bid 
so low that they cannot furnish a suitable 
rig. She wishes to know how it decreases 
taxes. I will try to explain how they are 
taking advantage in this section. The pro¬ 
moter, a tax dodger, goes to his neighbors 
without or with large boys or children who 
can walk or drive to the village school; 
tells them that it takes only one majority 
to close a school. With the majority they 
elect their officers, close the school, then 
make a contract with the school they want 
to attend and pay the tuition with public 
money. Those who have conveniences take 
their own children; those who haven’t are 
politely told that they can stay at home. 
The law seems to make no provisions for 
the stay-at-homes, and as they are not 
truants they can’t even be sent to the 
truant school, so you see part of the chil¬ 
dren are educated on the public money, 
while the others are termed “put-outs.” 
What benefit are our so-called free schools 
unless it is to help the poor?
