In reply to a query for a plan and
description of a bob sled, suitable for
hauling wood, fodder and other heavy
work, the Country Gentleman makes
the following reply:
The following account of a bob sled
was sent us years ago by D B. Ray-
mond ; he used it for years for logging,
and It has the advantage that It will
turn short corners and enable a team
to draw one-fourth more than any
other sled.
The tongue Is not set stiff, but Is
fastened to the nose-piece with two
devices—one on the tongue, and one
on the cross-piece, making a sort of
universal Joint, permitting it to turn
at right angles, and allowing the team
to turn half around without, moving
the load, and to clear trees and logs.

CALUMET
BAKING POWDER
— And it docs better
work. Simply follow
your customary method
of preparation — add a
little less of Calumet
than when using ordi-
nary baking powder.
Then watch the result.
Light, fluffy, and even-
ly raised — the baking
comes from the oven
more tempting, tastier,
more wholesome.
Calumet insures the baking of an
expert. Ask your grocer today.

Fig. 1—Chain Bob Sleds.
The draft-chain being entirely inde-
pendent of the tongue, the latter may
be made light. If used much on the
road, it should be heavier, and set
stiff.
The bobs are coupled together with
a forked cable chain in place of a
reach, with a grab-hook on each end.
and a ring in the center. This ring is
put into a clevis at the rear end of
the saddle-plank of the front bob, the
other ends of the chain to rings on
the nose of the rear bob. The rings
are large enough for the chain to
double through, so as to let them out
or draw them together, and by which
logs of any length from 8 to 25 feet
may be placed equally on both. The
rings, properly put on, cannot catch a
tree or brush; and the chains playing
up and down, permit the rear bob to
go over the roughest ground, logs or
brush.
The shoes of the runners are made
of the hardest dry wood, sawed slight-
ly across the grain, so os to wear with
it. They will last a whole winter. The
lower figure in Fig. 2 shows how they

by farmers and fruit growers for fer-
tilizers containing this element. The
air we breathe is the greatest known
storehouse of nitrogen, but the nitro-
gen in the air is not in a form which
can be directly used by the plants It
can, however, be converted into a
usable form by the action of soil bac-
teria—those microscopic organisms
which exist in soils and materially af-
fect the growth of crops. Cultivation
brings these soil bacteria into direct
contact with the air from which they
take the nitrogen and convert it into
food for the adjacent plants and trees.
Without cultivation this beneficial ac-
tivity of these minute organisms is
greatly restricted, and consequently
uncultivated orchards are not as well
supplied with the food materials re-
quired for the prolific production of
fruit of the best quality. Cultivation,
too, keeps in the moisture of the soil,
and give the rain and sun a chance to
produce the best results.

is 4 by 5 inches. The bolt heads which
fasten it should be “let In,” so as to be
out of the way. The bolster of the for-
ward bob is shown In the upper figure
of Fig. 2, and has rings to bind the
load. The saddle-plank, on the front
bob, should be 2% inches thick and a
foot wide, to support the king bolt and
whole load.

You don ’t saoe money when you buy
cheap or big-can baling powder. Don I
be misled. Buy Calumet. It’s more
economical — more wholesome — gives
best results. Calumet is fat superior to
sour miUt and soda.
Commercial Fertilizers.
Commercial fertilizers aire valuable
In truck growing where one knows
the needs of his soils and supplies
them intelligently. But before fer-
tilizers are used the soil must be put
In good mechanical and physical con-
dition. Fertilizers can never be made
to take the place of good preparation
and ample cultivation.
No Better Place for Farmer to Market
Corn and Roughage Than to
Give to Animals.
On nearly every farm live stock
raising is merely a side line where it
should be the main thing. There is
no place where the farmer can market
his corn and roughage so profitably as
feeding it to good live stock. The mar-
ket is right at home in the feed lot,
and no long hauls to town are neces-
sary. If a farmer can fesd his 60-cent
corn to good hogs which will pay him
80 cents for it, does he not make an
advance on the price of his corn and
a profit in the fertility returned to the
soil, as well as a saving of expense in
hauling? Breeding pure-bred live
stock is a business which should be
entered gradually and retired froam
reluctantly Improving the common
stock a little each year will lead up to
the pure-bred business. There can
♦xist no permanent system of agri-
culture without live stock and, on high-
priced land, pure-bred stock is the
only kind to have.
His Childish Wish.
Here is an excerpt from Paul West’s
'“Just Boy” letters, which read like a
clipping from the “Little Johnny” pa-
pers by Ambrose Bierce in the early
volumes of the Argonaut: “I ast my
father why ministers move so much
and he said he guessed they was
forced to on account of thare sons. I
wisht my father was a minister.”—
