farmer throws down corn
his hens liberally he may
secure but a few eggs, as he is then
feeding for the market and not for
eggs. A fat hen will not lay, and is as
unprofitable as a fat sow for breeding.
What the-hens mostly need is nitrog
enous matter, for they can, if fed
any grain at all, easily provide the
yolk, lime, phosphoric acid, etc., but
tlie large amount of albumen in an
egg calls for more nitrogenous food
than is usually allowed. Some, im
properly, ascribe the failure to secure
eggs to a lack of green food. While
some kind of bulky food (such asclover
hay chopped fine, and scalded, as well
as cooked potatoes and turnips) is ex
cellent, yet the desideratum is animal
food, and if less grain be fed, and more
meat, cither raw or cooked, there will
i be more eggs.
Milk and curds are also su itabie, but
meat is better than anything else. As
a pound of meat daily will be suffi
cient for a dozen liens, and almost any
kind of meat will do, the expense is a
small matter, compared to the high
prices obtained for eggs in winter, lt
is not necessary to feed grain more
than once a day. A morning meal of
scalded, chopped hay, with some kind
of animal food and wheat at night
will give more eggs, if the henhouse
is kept warm, than any other method,
and it will be cheaper than feeding
three times a day on grain. A pan of
warm water in the morning should al
ways be allowed.—Farm and Home.
COSTLY POULTRY HOUSE.
Ball! by Mrs. Robert Garrett at Iler Conn
try Place Near Baltimore.
A poultry establishment costing over
$8,00!) has just been completed at Up
lands, the country place of Mr. Robert
Garrett. The buildings were all con
structed under the direct supervision
of Mrs. Robert Garrett, who, like
many ladies in this country and in Eng
land, has become interested in poul
try culture.
The poultry house is all under one
roof, and is over 250 feet long. It has
three turret towers, one at each end
and one in the center. One of the
towers will be used for choice fowls, a
pigeon loft being in the second story.
The feed will be kept in tlie other end
tower. A reception room, well fur
-1 nislied and equipped with a library of
poultry literature, occupies the first
i tory of the center tower, the second
' story being the bedroom of tlie poultry
keeper. On the right of the center
1 tower are accommodations for brood
ing 2,000 “broilers” at one time.
“Brooders” are devices for providing
warmtli for artificially hatched chick
ens, arranged so that the chickens
may run in and out at will. There are
ulso outside yards in which the chick
ens may exercise and obtain fresh air.
Compartments for brooding pens of
thoroughbred poultry stock are on
the left of the center tower. The
house is constructed of wood and tlie
floors are all of cement.
A heavy brick ornamented structure
for the incubators is in the rear of the
poultry house. As soon as the young
chicks are well dried after emerging
from the eggs they are taken from the
incubator and in lots of 100 are put in
the brooder apartments.
A building especially arranged for
fattening, killing and dressing poul
try is connected with the establish
ment. Ducks and turkeys have a sep
arate house in the rear of the main
building.—Baltimore Sun.

Whsre the Knife Should Enter the Month
When Killing a Fowl.
It is difficult to express in words how
to properly kill a fowl by sticking it
in the roof of the mouth (which is re
quired for dressed poultry), hence the
illustration is intended to show where
the point ofethe knife should enter.
In the illustration A is the artery that
must be cut. Open the bill, and by
observing closely, the artery can be
seen. It runs across the back of the
throat, a little under tlie ear. Insert
the point of a sharp knife in tlie
mouth, and make a clean cut across
this artery, so as to sever it at the
point indicated by the X in the illus
tration. We are indebted to Mr. Verne
Clisby, Ohio, for the illustration.—
Farm and Fireside.
The manager of a large poultry farm
who has had no epidemic in his flocks
for five years, states that his inflex
ible rule is to kill without delay every
bird that shows a decided lack of vi
tality.
Fowls will starve to death with an
abundance of food before them if they
have no grit to help grind it
Treatment for Sore Feet
This trouble will be a certain result
of permitting a cow to stand in wet
mud or manure, as this inflames the
tender skin between the claws of the
hoofs, where blisters will then appear,
and, breaking by the rubbing, will
form sores. If this is neglected the
hoofs may be wholly destroyed and the
animal permanently injured The feet
should be well washed with water and
tar or carbolic soap, then drjpd and
dressed with an ointment made of pure
lard or vaseline, ten parts, and one
part each of turpentine and acetate of
copper, stirred in tlie lard when it is
melted and until lt is cooled. It is
well to bind the sore feet in bandages
and to UeeD the animals on a drv floor
Foaled. Hut Not Swindled.
Two young ladies were walking in
the woods one day, when they were ac
costed by an old and much shriveled
Rypsy, who politely offered to show
them their husband’s faces in tlie
brook which ran near by, for a slight
remuneration. So, paying the sum,
they followed the hag to the brook, as
they were very curious to see how she
could do so wonderful a thing, and
also anxious to see their future hus
bands. But instead of beholding the
faces of the men they so fondly hoped
for, they saw their own. “We can see
nothing but our own faces,” said one. j
“Very true, mem," replied the saga
cious fortune teller, “but these will be
your husband’s faces when you are
married."

TWO GOOD EQUALIZERS.
What to Do When Three or Four llorse<

I send sketches of, I think, the best
equalizers for three or four horses.
The three-horse equalizers came witli

four horses to a wagon without them.
I have a different rig for one-gang
plow.
In the three-horse equalizer, the
short eveners are attached to tlie long
one by good swingle-tree centers and
clevises.
We need something to equalize our
horses in this country, where we use a
four-horse team so universally—four
horses to the drill (7 to 12 feet), to the
harrow (16 to 26 feet), to the binder
(6 to 9 feet), to the grain tank (100 to
150 bushels), and to the plow (24 to 30
inches). —S. M. Edwards, in Country
Gentleman.
LIVE-STOCK NOTES.
Whenever an animal coughs, imme
diate attention should be given it.
Coughs are always in the direction of
danger.
Every time a horse slips the animal
is liable to permanently injure itself.
See to it then that it is properly shod
if it Is to be driven on icy roads.
Cutting coarse fodder makes it more
digestible, and hence it makes it more
nourishing, denial of the fact in some
quarters to the contrary notwithstand
ing.
The trotting horse and the mule are
about all there is left of the business
of breeding on that line. Of the two
we would rather breed the mule. The
income would be steadier.
The importance of examining the
teeth of animals now and then is
often mentioned, and yet it is a fact
that little attention is paid to the
matter. Bad teeth are often a cause
of suffering and disease. —Farmers'
Voice.
HOG CHOLERA REMEDY.
Official Report on tlie Treatment and Pre
vention of the Disease.
With estimated losses of between
$10,090,000 and $25,000,000 from hog
cholera and swine plague in the United
States, the discussion of tlie treatment
and means of prevention of these dis
eases in a bulletin issued by the agri
cultural department is of great value
to the farmers of this country.
The bureau of animal industry has
been conducting an exhaustive inves
tigation of this subject and finds that
the agents which destroy the germs of
one of these fatal diseases are also ef
fective in destruction of the germs of
tlie other. Both are spread by infec
tion and their course varies from one
day to three weeks. Both are caused
by bacteria. The germs of hog chol
era, says the report, are very hardy
and vigorous, while those of the swine
plague are very delicate and easily de
stroyed. The latter ace found to be
present in practically all herds of
swine, but the former must be Intro
duced from infected herds.
The most efficient virus remedy
tried by the government's agents is
the following: Wood, charcoal,
sulphur, sodium sulphate and anti
mony sulphide, one pound each;
sodium chloride, sodium, bi-carbonate
and sodium hyposulphite, two pounds
each. These are to be completely
pulverized and mixed, and a daily
lose of a large tablespoonful for
each 200 pounds weight of hogs
given. The medicine may be used
also as a preventative of these dis
eases. It should be put in the feed of
the whole herd. To Insure successful
treatment the animals should be kept
In dry and comfortable quarters away
from drafts of air. Five or six
months should be allowed to elapse
after an outbreak before new hogs
are purchased or any of the old herd
sold.
The report recommends a rigid
quarantining of newly-bought hogs
and the prevention of their joining
those already on the farm for at least
six weeks. During the warm months
of the year the swine should have
plenty of young grass or clover;
crushed or rolled wheat should be fed
to the growing animals.
HANGING FEED RACK.
A Convenient Thing lor Farmers Where
Sheep Are Kept.
The usual method of feeding sheep

pen. Where the fodder is thrown down
from the floor above the pen an ar
rangement such as is shown in the
illustration may be found serviceable.
It is a hanging rack with slats all
around it, and made narrow at the bot

and the pen can be kept closed so that
the lambs cannot escape from it l>en
when the fodder is not thrown down
from the floor above such a rack may
be hung near the side of the pen, and
the hay thrown over into it from the
feeding floor, giving much more feed
ing space to the flock than would a
rack nailed against the side of the
pen. —Orange Judd Farmer.
.Judgment in Cattle Feeding.
Cattle feeding and handling is a
large subject and only general prin
ciples are to be laid down. No hard
and fast rules for feeding are now
known, and doubtless none ever will
be known, is the conclusion of the
Wisconsin and Connecticut experiment
stations. It is nevertheless true that
the man who exercises the largest
amount of good judgment, based upon
all the most advanced science can
bring him, and who tries to put into
practice the knowledge thus acquired,
will be much surer of success than one
who works blindly. There may bo no
"best” breed, no "best” ration and no
“best” way of handling dairy stock,
but there are poor cows, uneconomical
rations and bail ways of handling, and
the man who learns to avoid the bad
and choose the better is well on the
road toward the best.
To Tell the Age of Sheep.
Sheep have two teeth in the center
of the )aw at one year old, and add
two each year until five years old,
when they have a “full mouth.” After
that time the age cannot be told by
the teeth. The natural age of sheep
is about ten years, to which age they
breed and thrive well, though
there are instances of their breed
ing at the age of fifteen and of living
twenty years. On the western plains
sheep do not last nearly so long, from
the fact that their teeth soon wear out
while constantly nibbling the gritty
herbage of the sanuy prairie on which
they graze. Sheep under these condi
tions seldom last longer than six years
and cease to be profitable after five
years. When the teeth give out the
6heep take on digestive ailments and
soon become emaciated for want
of nutrition which they cannot get.
PROPER CULTIVATION.
In It the Farmer Will Find Good C'ropa
and Good Dollars.
It is probably a fact that it would
always pay to harrow wheat after it
comes up. A neighbor of mine once
harrowed his wheat and rolled it after
it came up. I thought he had ruined
it, but he had a better crop than I had
on land of similar character. I have
seen corn harrowed after it had at
tained considerable size. The process
seemed to tear the corn all to pieces,
but time showed that to all appear
ances the harrowing was beneficial.
In harrowing wheat after it comes up,
if it has been sown broadcast some of
it will naturally be torn up, but the
crop will be better. The soil cannot
be stirred too much in the earlier
stages of plant growth. Crops that
can be drilled, such as wheat or peas,
may be drilled deep enough so that
the harrow will not touch the roots.
Not only does cultivation rid the soil
of weeds, but it puts it into the best
possible shape to enable the plants to
take up their food and also enables
the soil better to hold moisture; and
the earlier and more thorough the
cultivation the easier it will be to de
stroy the weeds. Weeds at first are
shallow rooted, and even if they have
not yet appeared above the surface
they will be so disturbed as to prevent
their growth. After heavy rains
crusts when they form on the sur
face should always be broken by the
harrow. If grain that is sown in the
fall is harrowed in the spring the re
sult will be very satisfactory.—Farm
ers’ Voice.
MOVABLE PLATFORM.
Just the Thief for Farmers Who Wish to
Drive Poste.
In driving fence posts a platform of
some kind is required for the operator
to stand upon when manipulating the
sledge. This is usually a cumbersome
box that is rolled and tumbled front
one post to another as ths work pro*
gresses, and if the ground is uneven
the support is very unsteady, render
ing the work unnecessarily tiresome
for the operator. It takes but a little
while to construct a-wheeled platform

like the one illustrated herewith.
The top or platform Is three feet In
length and two and a half feet wide
and twenty-eight inches from the
ground. The wheels should be six or
eight inches in diameter and may be
of wood or iron; the handles are four
and a half feet long with a step nailed
on top of them, as shown In the
sketch. This arrangement will prove
handy in gathering apples from the
lower branches of trees, and for many
other purposes about the farm. It can
be made from bits of boards and is
easily moved about. '-Atowiaaa ‘‘ill

AWNLESS BROME GRASS.
Reports Generally Favorable to r \s Mors
Kitended Cultivation.
This hardy perennial (bron us in
ermis) Is related to the rescue grass,
but endures summer beat and drought
much better and will grow on harder
and poorer soil. It has strong, creep
ing root stocks, and is conspicuous for
its free, leafy growth and tall stems,
which bear an abundance of seed. The
official agrostologist, F. L. Scribner,
recommends it for light soils, especial
ly In regions subject to extremes of

drought, where the finer grasses do not
thrive. It has creeping roots like
couch grass, and serves well to hold
the banks of ditches and to strengthen
turf of sandy soil. It has been favor
ably reported on by the Mississippi,
North Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Louisiana and Wyoming stations.
Awnlessbromegrass (also known as
smooth or Hungarian brome) remains
green in winter in the south, where it
is esteemed for grazing. It grows well
in cold climates, and Canadian reports
speak very highly of this newly intro
duced grass both for its nutritive qual
ities and luxuriant habit of growth.
It should however, be introduced very
cautiously, as it makes long, strong
underground root stocks, which are
difficult to eradicate.

There is probably no branch of farm
ing that has made such rapid strides j
as dairying during the past five years.
It is now possible to estimate the an- :
Dual profit of each cow and to discard 1
all animals falling below an estab
lished standard. Butter-making is
now reduced to such fine proportions
that churning is varied so as to con
trol water in the finished product. The
watercontent varies with the quantity
of salt used, used; thus, fresh or light
salted butter requires less water.
Butter-making will soon be a science
that few farmers can afford. Milk and
cream will be sold to the city or cream
ery, where aroma in the form of bacte
ria for ripening will be cultivated and
used. Economy in dairying will then
fall back on the farmer, who will be
required to study and know the actual
value of the food consumed by each
cow and its value returned in the form
of milk or fertilizer.—Farm and Home.
Protecting Buggies and Wngons.
Unless the wood work of a wagon Is
thoroughly protected by paint or var
nish it will swell whenever it is wet,
causing “springing” of the spokes,
splitting of the hub and felloe, and
perhaps the dishing of the whole
wheel. When wheels are long ex
posed to the sun’s rays there is likely
to be a shrinkage of the wood that
opens the joints, readily admitting
moisture. When it is necessary to
leave a cart or wagon out of doors, let
some old blankets or pieces of carpet
ing be thrown over the wheels, or,
better still, have on hand apiece of
cheap cloth large enough to cover
body, wheels aud all. A light carriage
or wagon that is frequently driven on
the road should have its rim painted
and the whole thing varnished at least
once a year. That will go a long way
toward protecting it from the
weather. —Column's Rural World.

Charcoal for Cora-Fed Hogs.
A diet wholly of corn is very hard
to digest, if food does not digest in
the stomach it must sour, for its tem
perature is always at 08 degrees,
which is extreme heat for a summer's
day. When souring of the stomach
occurs, it is remedied by feeding char
coal. This is not, however, a perma
nent remedy. The charcoal is carbo
naceous. and therefore the larger part
of it is like the corn. It is the potash
mixed with it that corrects the acidity.
But the better way is not to let the
.ornach get sour. Feed even the fat
tening hogs some fine wheat, millings
with milk and a few sliced beets daily.
This will keep their digestion good,
and when food digests it does not sour
on the stomach.—liural World.
The Horse** Power of Scent.
There is one perception which a
horse possesses to which little atten

is the power of scent. With some
horses it is acute, as with the dog; and
for the benefit of those who drive at
night, such as physicians and others,
this knowledge is invaluable. I never
knew it to fail, and I have ridden hun
dreds of miles of dark nights, and in
consideration of this power of scent
this is my simple advice: Never check
your horse at night, hut give him a free
head, and you may rest assured that
he will never get off the road, and
will carry you safely and expedi
