fv *V HOUSE FOR TURKEYS. It Secures the Flock at NlKbt and Provide. .* Fine Feeding Place for Yot|n« Bird*. My turkeys have a large range, and as foxes are numerous in this vicinity a great many of the finest bird* were lulled last year. In June Duxit iiKe the had a house accompanying illustra tion to secure the'flock at "night, to provide a feeding place for the young birds during the day and to prevent the old birds from eating with them. f1® building is 12 feet square, ten feet high in front and eight feet at the back. The foundation consists of tamarack planks spiked solidly to gether and four posts are set in at the corners. The sides are of fine slats, four inches wide, nailed an inch apart so as to provide light and air within. The roof is made" df boards put on to exclude the rain.' On one side is a door (a), 6x3 feet, fastened by hooks on the outside and inside. On the front there is an opening (b), and a door (c). On the ground the opening (b) is four inches l^igh and five feet long ^.nd per- 'XV COMFORTABLE TURKEY HOUSE. mits the ingress and egress of the young birds only. This is closed by means of a drop board.^ The hanging door (c) is 1£ feet long two feet wide^ and two feet from the ground, i» formed of boards like the sides, is fastened by hooks and is attached to the front by strong hinges. Inside the house are drinking and feeding troughs for the young birds, clean straw at one side and three tie^s of roosts, the first, very low, the second midway and the third of strong poles as near thestop as possible. In the morning I dropped the hang ing door to let out the old birds, fed them outside, and closed the door. Went in at the side door, fastened it, fed and watered the young birds and left them till the dew was off the grass. By raising the board the young ones could come out to the old ones. -Three times a day they ca^ne to be fed, the board being utilised to shut them in until all were fed. At night the young ones remained in and by dropping the hanging door the old hens flew in. When the turkeys grew too large for the opening (b), I fed them just out side the house and they entered by means of both doors, which were fast ened before dark. .The house was adapted to our purpose from the time the hens were let out of the coops until they were sold in the fall.—American Agriculturist. TAKING OFF HIDES. Few Valuable 8nggeitlon« Whlcli May Save Yon Many Dollars In the Future. Let us give a few hints, which, if carefully observed, may save many dol lars in the future. In skinning, beef hides and calfskins keep the back of the knife close to the hide, and draw it tightly with the left hand. This is a simple rule, but by following it the liability to cut or score is considerably lessened. On the foreleg the knife should go down to the armpit, so called, and then forward to the point of the brisket. On the hind legs the cut should be made from the hoof of one, down the back of the leg, semicircular ly across from one to the other, and on to the hoof. The throat should never be cut crosswise, and the horns and tail bones should always be removed. The operation of salting is equally important. To salt hides thoroughly a water bucket full of good salt should be used to each 60-pound hide, the quantity for larger and smaller hides being in proportion. After this they should be rubbed and rolled up. Inde pendent of cuts and scores hides which are not taken off in the manner specified are classed as No. 2s, and if dried on fences or exposed to the sun or weather are only fit for the glue maker. A butcher's skinning knife should always be used and no employe should be permitted to take off hides with out one, as the loss from one hole in a hide would buy several such knives. These few rules are simple enough, but their adoption means a gre^t deal to the country slaughterer.-j-National Provisioner. Dipping IR a Neeeeef ty. The sooner a r.heepmak realizes the necessity of dipping the sooner he is on the road to prosperity with sheep. The intelligent shepherd would never al low a sheep to come on the farm with out its being dipped at any time of the year. A sheep that has been in stock yards or in stock cars has run the risk of being, exposed to scab ticks and lice. One sheep raiser recently said he never had a sheep of his own raising get lousy, but he has often bought lambs that were covered with the pests. This goes to show how careless some qheep men are, and how they may injurt the flocks of the careful sheepman. kota Field and Farm. it* straw was smaller. -Dar Leaving Manure In Heaps. The only advantage we could g£e frbm the' practice of dumping manure in- heaps was the ease with which it could be done and the wagon unloaded for another load. The manure thus dumped is never so evenly spread as it can be from the wagon. To unload quickly always have two men on the load, spreading from each eiyl of the waggon. Then there will be no heaps to lie on the ground, perhaps for weeks, and giving the field a "patchy'" appearance ip the larger growth of straw where the manure heaps hare lain. Often this extra large growth rusts and yields less grain than where INSECTS'IN HIVES. A {Remedy tor Ante and Green Vllel Tliat Sometimes Make Life Burden, to the Bee*. Theye can be no harm done by the flies and ants, providing your bees are in good condition and fairly strong, Otherwise, the ants will work, on the combs and honey and become much of an annoyance to the bees. The flies also will thus annoy them and eat their honey. Flies are frequently seen about the entrances of hives in this climate, attracted by the odor from the bees, but are seldom seen about the hives that are strong in bees. When the flies are thus very numerous it is evi dence that the colonies are not in good condition. They are much worse about colonies that have been or are being rpbbed. They are more troublesome also about weak cOl onies. The proper thing to do is to examine your bees and' ascertain if they have a queen, and have young brood in the combs, and that they have plenty of honey to live on. If the queens are all right it will pay well to feed them a little sirup made from granulated sugar to the amount of a gill or half a pint a day, according to the strength of the colony. This will start them to breeding rapidly, and if continued they will soon become strong, which is the remedy for all'bee ills. If they are gathering honey it is not neces sary to feed them, but if not, it is of much importance. If it is the* large ants—those that make the ant-hills—I should judge they were very annoying to the bees, and I should destroy ^heir nesting place. You can readily "bottle them Up." Make a hole in the center of the ant-hill, and as deep as your bottle is long, or a little deeper, so wheii the bottle is set in the hole the mouth of it will be about an inch below the surface of the ground. Ar range the earth around the mouth of the bottle funnel shape and the ants will do the rest. They will all go into the bottle, and the inmates of an ordinary ant-hill may be thus bottled in half an hour.—Kansas Farmer. -HANDY LITTLE SILO. One Can Be Bntlt at an Expense Hang* Ins, According to Size, from $10 to $36. Prepare planks 16 feet by 6 by 2 inches then secure five round iron bands, made of three-fourth-inch iron, large enough to encircle the proposed silo and with threads on ends. Mark out a circle 16 feet in diameter on the ground. Then set four planks on end on the circle and as far apart as posr sible, being held by braces. Bend two iron bands in a circle and place around the planks one foot from bottom and SAFE AND SECURE HOMEMADE SILO, from top. Drive in each plank a 12 penny nail, bending it up and over the iron band. Bun the.ends of irons with threads through blocks of cast-iron with two holes through them about two inches apart a nut on each thread should be provided for tightening the structure after the planks are all in position. Planks should then be set on end and fastened by a nail as were the previous four. Screw nuts tight and' place the other three bands in po sition so each is three to four feet apart key up the nuts. For removing silage, cut holes through four planks two holes will be enough. Replace planks when refilling with next crop. Such silos can be made for $16 to $36.— Farm and Home. AMONG THE POULTRY. Lice are death to chicks. Watch foi this enemy. Oats are not the best nor cheapest food for poultry. If you overfeed you will h^ve fat hens and fewer eggs. Poultry should have an abundance of pure fresh water. Over 50 hens should never be kept in a single pen. Tweive to 25 is better. Fowls do not injure orchards, but destroy insects injurious to the tree3. As a rule the hens with the largest combs will prove to be the best layers* The hen house should be kept clean —and successful poultry raisers know what.clean means. Do not put off building the poultry house Until winter. Plan it now and build it after harvest. Dump a few sifted coal ashes into the poultry yard. The hens will eat a good many of the cinders. For scaly legs, a good enough plan is to dip the legs into a dish of kero sene once or twice a week for month. Keep the hens tame. It is more sat isfactory taking care of them and there will be fewer hens with rupture and broken eggs. Worms eome very close to the top of the soil this moist weather. A few strokes of the blade will turn up hundreds of them, greatly to the de light of the hens. Contrary to the'usual opinion, there 'are but few breeds of fowl that pay better according to cost than guineas, The flesh of the white guinea is ex cellent, and they lay a large number of eggs.— Rural World. 1 Spraying Poultry Quarters. The sprayer permits of giving the poultry house a thorough scrubbing occasionally. It is done on a warm, clear day, thoroughly spraying the walls and floor with water, using an old broom on the floor to loosen the dirt, and finally drenching with the sprayer, first removing the nests. ^After this is done leave the door and windows open and let the work be performed early in the morning, but not in ^winter, when the temperature of the atmosphere is below 40 de grees. In summer it should be done of ten asonce a week. 1 UtS' 4 r- MINNESOTA NEWS. Mortgage*. Labor Commissioner Powers- has compiled some interesting figures re lating to .the evolution of mortgages in the twonty-thrtee southeastern agri cultural counties of the state. These counties are Blue Earth, Carver, Chi sago, Dakota, Dodge, Faribault, Fill more, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston," Le Sueur, McLeod, Mower,. Nicollet, Olinstead, Rice, Scott, Steele, Wa basha, Washington, Wir/ona, Wright. The mortgages upon acre property in these counties showed the highest ratio in the years 1880 and 1881. The foreclosures numbered 1,449, and were for the sum of 81,872,871 and covered 173,287 acres of land. Since the year 1881, with the adoption of a good sys tem of farming, of a diversified char acter, there has been a continuous de cline. The years 1896 and 1897 record the lowest amount of foreclosures cov ered by the investigation. The num ber for these years was 357 and for the sum of $464,183, covering 35,231 acres of land, being about one-fourth of the number,, amount and acreage fore closed in 1880 and 1881. Fish Protection. Secretary of State Berg received a letter from the American secretary of the joint high commission, which meets in Quebec, Aug. 10, asking for information in regard to the reciprocal privileges between Minnesota and Canada in protecting the fish preserves in international waters. For a num ber of years Minnesota has been un able to secure laws uniform with those existing in Canada for the protection of the fish in the waters bordering both countries. At the last session of congress an act was passed providing for a high com mission to act in conjunction with a similar commission appointed by the Canadian government to secure a uni formity of the laws of all the boundary states with those of Canada, and also secure concession from the Canadian government along the same lines. The commission will also take up the matter of the use by both govern ments of canals crossing and near the border lines of the two countries. 1 Fuel. The state fuel commissioners, at a recent meeting, received bids for 3,000 tons of coal for state institutions. The range of the prices' which the big coal companies agreed to supply the state was considerably lower than last year. Soft coal ran from 80 to 50 cents per ton lower. Last year the price paid by the state for anthracite coal was .70, and this year the range of this class is lower than 87. The fuel com mission, which consists of the gov ernor, auditor and state treasurer, will award contracts in a few days, as soon as the figures submitted can foe assem bled and tabulated. The contracts will go to the lowest bidder. N. P. Kobber Held. James Curran was held to the United States grand jury at Duluth on a charge of holding up the Northern Pa cific train last September, with two other men. The grand jury will meet at Fergus Falls Sept 27. Anthony Stevens, the United States prisoner who identified him, testified that Cur ran told him after the hold-up that the job might have been worth $10,000 if they had not pulled the wrong coupling pin. Recently Curran told him in Du luth that he was going to try it again and he would get it right this time. Gave Himself I7p. A man with a badly bruised face and his left ear torn and bleeding came in to the sheriff's office at Winona and surrendered himself to that official, saying he had set fire to a strawstack and barn on the .farm of Emil Ti'mm, between Bethany and Altura, while under the influence of liquor. A tele phone message developed that only the strawstack was burned, the barn being saved by hard work. The man gave his name as Paul Kurgus. White Pine for 20 lean. Chief Fire Warden Andrews states 'that there is scarcely a 20 years'sup ply of white pine now standing in the state, and that there was promise that at least 1,500,000,000 of white pine logs would be cut in Minnesota during the fall and winter. Minnesota Briefs. Hans Hanson, from Turtle Lake, Wis., was killed by the cars at Elk River. He was on his way to Dakota to get work. The postoffice at LaCrescent was en tered by thieves and stamps and plun der amounting to $112 was stolen. Thomas Eelley, a clerk in the office of the Chicago Great Western railway at St Paul, attempted suicide by tak ing an ounce of laudanum. The doc tors saved him. Assistant Dairy Commissioner Law rence paid the first installment to the state auditor of collections from 968 milk licenses received from towns of 1,000 population or over throughout the state. Of this amount Minneap olis furnished 450, St Paul 300. Mrs. Helpn Anderson was terribly burned at Mankato while saving the lives of a neighbor's children. She saw a gasoline stove blazing up in a neighbor's house, and while endeavor ing to get the childrea out of danger her own clothing caught fire. Her condition is serious. Mrs. Louis Nodding, living near Fulda, had both legs broken by a run away team. During a fit of insanity Thomas Pig gott, living near Oconto Falls, drove his wife and children from his farm, gave his stock paris green, placed all his farming implements in the barn, set fire to the barn, house and stacks of grain, and when he saw- their de struction was complete, shot himself with a shotgun. He died two hours after. Sank Center is to have anew bank, with 925,000 capital. Mrs. Ida Martin's 8-year-old child at Elk River fell into a tnb of scalding water and was terribly burned. Wm. Klussman, a farmer, was found dead in his mrove near Jackson. Baron vop Stumm, who has been nicknamed the king of the Saar, was so angry at not being'elected to the reichstag on the first ballot that he put up this notice on his factory gates: "A« the Neunkirchen Zeitung has slandered me, I consider it a matter of course that no workman shall'tolerate that sheet in his family.1 In the new reichstag there are 88 nobles. The number has steadily diminished since 1871, when it was 160. There are said to be only seven Jews elected to the reichstag, all of them social democrats. ..

Jamie haB a big sister—ablooming, bound ing destroyer of hearts, and the principal of Jamie's school used to call on her. He came one evening, just before the close of the last term, and wore rubber overshoes. He al ways was afraid of catching cold. He left these shoe protectors in the nail. Jamie? by no means sure of passing from seventh into eighth grade, was conning his .geography— from necessity, not choice, and ne saw those goloshes. So he got the tack hammer and two tacks and nailed through the rubber soleB into the floor. When Mr. Principal departed an hour later Jamie was watching him. Mr. Princi pal, still smiling on the big sister, inserted nis feet in his rubbers—ana then he braided himself up in the most amazing fall that ever an educated man accomplished: The big girl picked him up, and extracted him from his stationary footwear, but'she was shaking with laughter. Next day Jamie, sweet seraph, drifted past the principal's desk with a look of angelic innocence on his chubby face. He paused a moment. "Who called you?" asked the petulant principal. "The kids called ine. They called me 'rubbers!' Say, Mr. Soandson, do I pass?" And the eyes of the two met for one tense moment. Then the prftcipal surrendered. "Yes—you pass!" he snapped.
