Homemade Heater and Cabbage Holder
for the Poultry House.
The cut shown herewith we copy
from the Farm and Fireside. It repre
sents a homemade heater tor use in a
poultry house in extremely cold
weather. Such a heater will keep the
temperature of a well made house of
moderate size above the frost line, and
this is all that is required of it. It may
be made of two joints of stove pipe
ieSsS)-
riveted together, the larger thd pipe
the better. The best plan is to have a
tinsmith make the whole heater of
sheet iron, each piece about eight
inches in diameter and twenty inches
long. The lamp must have a tiu
chimney with a mica window in it
Suspend the heater by wire from the
roof and put a wire netting screen
around the whole to prevent interfer
ence on the part of the fowls. Be sure
to give the lamp ventilation by rais
ing the heater a few inches above the
floor or cutting holes in the lower end
of the upright pipe.

RULED BY TWO QUEENS.
A Recent I> scoviry Which I pw*tw 1
Ideas About Bees.
It has hitherto been regarded as an
established fact which could not be
called in question by the most skeptic
al that each community of bees was
distinguished by it- loyalty to me
queen, arul that the latter would brook
no rival, the appearance of another
queen being the signal for a battle
royal which only ended in the rath
of one or both. These beliefs are
now overthrown by an Austrian sci
entist, Prof, tiatter. of Simmering,
who has just exhibited a thriving hive
the members of which are governed
conjointly by two queens, and the
bees apparently approve of the no
vation. Nay, vvliat is still more re
markable the two monarchs get along
most satisfactorily and without the
slightest friction.
One of the greatest authorities on
apiculture sat for hours at a stretch
observing the conduct of the two
queens. They approached each other
from time to time without the slight
est antipathy, and on two or three
occasions actually caressed each oth
er most tenderly, and then separated
quietly and peacefully, followed by
their devoted suites. Prof, (latter has
just received the first prize for his sen
sational exhibit, which Is attracting
crowds to the bee show, and the mem
bers of the apicultural and horticultur
al societies of Vienna are proud to think
that no such extraordinary spectacle
as this was ever witnessed or recorded
in the history of bees. The document
drawn up, signed and duly attested
will be preserved in oue of the mu
seums of Vienna, and copies of it will
be sent to apicultural societies
throughout the world.
AMONG THE POULTRY.
Emptying water vessels at nigh’
saves labor in (he morning.
The show may break down y.,ui
roof. Belter shovel some of it off.
To Dl\fi>K the labor aud income of
the poultry yard with the children will
teach them valuable lessons in busi
ness.
Fowls should have something to pick
at and scratch over as soon as they
come off tile roost in the morning.
The exercise will sharpen their appe
tites fo~ the full morning meal.
• How no you like to have the melt’ng
snow dripping down in front of the
chicken house in the yard? H'e al
ways build houses that pitch to the
rear and carry off all drainage that
way. Are we right?
Pork and beef scraps are often
wasted by being fed too liberally to
the poultry; thus fed they are an in
jury rather than a benefit. Boiled
and male inton mush with vegetables
and meal they are very useful to in
duce early laying when judiciously
f"d - I'nrm .l.'ii ri”l.
A PROFITABLE INDUSTRY.
Why n Farmer’* Wife Want* Women Ic
Lngase lu Duck Kataing.
Buck raising lias prove I so protitable
with me, that I urn anxious for oth -r
Women to try this brunch of the poul
try business, as a means of making
money at home.
They require less trouble and atten
tion than chickens; are freer from ver
min, and are exempt from the numer
ous diseases which make the profits in
chicken raising so uncertain. Ducks
are excellent foragers, and after they
i
are a few weeks old obtain a la eg
part of tbeir food in this way.
Buck eggs are h ;st hatched under a
; chicken hen. 'due ducklings should
j be kept in a pen until they are three
| weeks old, w.ien they may be put w.t.i
the old ducks. For the first, twenty
! four hours they seem drowsy and eat
, nothing, after that feed cornmeal
j moistened with water or milk, until
I they are several weeks old, when they
• should have part whole gram. Bucks
1 may be raised without water to swim
| in, if given plenty of fresh water to J
drink, but they grow faster, larger. .
and are more thrifty, and keep them
selves cleaner if they have access to a
i pond or other goo I swimming place.
The Pekin duck is the most valuable
l variety. They grow very large, mu.- j
ture early, are hardy, good layers, and 1
)j have snowwhite plumage. They weigh
from twelve to sixteen pounds per
pair.
Bucks are great layers, commencing '
in February and continuing until Oc
tober. They are ready for market
when they are six or eight months
old and bring the highest prices when
marketed in July and August. If they
are dry picked the feathers bring from
forty to tifty cents per pound, and if
' the down is kept separate from the
feathers it commands a high price for
down comfortables and pillows.
The plumage of the white varieties
is easily dyed and can be made into
ornaments for hats, feather trimmings,
fans, etc., and sold at a good price.
So the profits on ducks are made in
j several different ways. On their bod
ies, for the market, their feathers and
down, which always are in demand, ,
ami on the eggs, which sell for a
i higher price than hen's eggs.
Any woman desiring to increase her
income will find ducks very profitable
and easy to raise. And after giving
• . them a fair trial will be convinced
that there is twice as much money in
■ them that there is in chickens, with
out near the vexation and trouble.—

TRAP FOR RABBITS.
Fatily Mnilti amt Adjusted by Aur Alright .
Farmer Hoy.
The accompanying sketch shows a j
| trap for rabbits, mink or other small j
animals. It is the most humane trap 1 !
ever saw, and can be easily made and
! adjusted by any of our farmer boys. '
Six-inch boards are required an ;
should be four feet long. A is the j
trap door, which is held up by two I
cords attache i to the lever, which j
, rests on the fulcrum C. Eis the trig
ger. which :s a short stick made as
seen in the illustration, and is at
tached t> (he end of lever by a short
cord.
The triv.er passes through a small
hole in the top of the trap and catches
j
i
r
1 on the front edge. The sketch shows
• i the trap set. Grain is used for bail.
but carrots, cabbage, etc., are much
i liked by bunny.
■ Place the (>ait at the farther end of
• i the trap, so chat it cannot be gotten
, | out without touching the trigger.
which flies up, and down drops the
door and poor bunny is a üßisoner
aud not a hair injured. •
• This way of catching rabbits is not
, so cruel as that of steel traps, by
which, if not taken out soon after
being caught, they will -wist around
, ! until the foot comes ~tf, which is
■ dreadful, and. besides, your rabbit is
! gone, which is disappointment. Try
‘ ; thi- trap and see if von do not like it,
boys. Mrs. A. C. McPherson, in Ohio

Windbreak', for Poultry.
On windy days the liens will resort
to anv kind of shelter or break that
protects them from the winds. As
'they prefer to be in the open air as
. much as possible, the necessity for some
kind of shelter often arises. It need
, | not be a covered shed, as clear, sunny
weather induces the fowls to forage,
I and they prefer to be iri the sunlight.
. | All they need is a close fence or wall.
t i This should prompt those who con
template making poultry yards to have
, the lower part of the fence, to the
height of about two feet from the
ground, close, so that the hens may be
protected from the direct action of
| strong winds. If they arc exposed to
the full force of the wind, even when
the weather is not Very cold, the re
sult will be catarrh, and eventually
roup.— Prairie Farmer.

TIMELY HEALTH HINTS.
. ;
Ax open fire is most valuable in an
■ ' invalid's room, especially in a cased
contagious disease, as it is constantly
j purifying the air by drawing it up the
chimney.
, j To sterilize milk for babies or in
valids let it stand till coo] in a clean,
cold place, remove about half the
cream, put in a double boiler and let
the water boil around it for half an
hour or longer.
For earache put a live coal from a
wood fire into a cup. sprinkle a tor
spoonful of granulated sugar over it
and invert a smell i. i.nel over the cup
putting lho uru.ll end into the ear. i

FROL . .iOOF CELLAR.
A Device Which Costs Very Little Rut
Accomplishes Afucli.
An excellent device for making'll cel
lar frost-proof at small expense has re
cently come to mv attention, and as it
is new to me, i take it th at it may be ;
new to many oth rs whom it might!
benefit, as its practical application is
to benefit me. The portion of a cellar
wall that is above ground imi-t have a
; dead air space within it, if the frost is
: to be kept out in our cold c! mete.
This may be accomp.i he 1 by having
| the underpinning backed with brick
I on the inside, a small space being left
between the bricks and the stone; ora
heavy backing of earth or brush out
side must be resorted to.
Instead of backing the underpinning
with briek. plan equally good and
much less expensive may be u-ed. The

j illustration will show. Upright strips
j of “furring” are nailed to the floor
I beams and sills in away to make them
i hug the cellar wall tightly at their
! lower extremity, which should be be
’ low the surface of the ground outside.
- This “furring'’ is then covered with
: lathing and the whole plastered, the
( plastering meeting the rockwork
j tightly below the lathing. This gives
! an air space between the underpin*
! ning and the plastering, through
which frost cannot pass, and the cel- j
lar is made lighter and more at- j
tractive.
Thousands of old cellars, that now
give theirowners no little trouble in the
winter could thus be easily made frost-
I proof. A fn st and wind-proof cellar
is not only of great advantage in the
matter of the cellar alone, but will
also afford a much warmer and more
' comfortable house above the ground
| floor. One need not fear that he will !
have his collar too warm, for ho can
control that matter by ventilation
the point is to hi nbl,' to control the
1 temperature, and this cannot be done
I if frost and wind have easy access.

CULTURE OF CELERY.
Oncfl * BiHi'iinli'ii Veg*t.U*!<\ Hut Now
Universally Used.
I'eierv. like the now popular and
universally-used tomato, was not long
ago considered to be poisonous, or. at
least, unfit for hiiinrn food. To-day
the demand for the crisp esculent is
met by gardeners, north, south, east
and west, ten months in the year.
Formerly the celery season was eon
liued to the winter months, and prices
ranged so high that the table of the
j rich were alone decorated with the
graceful stalks. Celery in a wild state i
j is rank, if not noxious, and certainly j
I unpalatable. It is a plant that only ,
attains its appetizing perfection after 1
; much labor and watchful care. For 1
, this reason the best celery comes from \
the sections of the country settled by
German gardeners.
The great celery beds of the nation '
are in Michigan, especially in the I
. vicinity of Kalamazoo, where no less
than 100,00!) acres are devoted ex
j elusively to its culture. A deep, rich,
well-drained soil is required. The
i seed is planted thickly. When the
plants reach a height of two or three
inches they are taken up and trails
! planted into long ditches ami allowed
, to grow from eight to twelve inches
| tall. They are again transplanted for
bleaching. The stalk is kept eov
1 ered with a dark, rich soil, heaped up
until tlie flowering top is alone ex
posed. A celery farm is generally |
located in low. flat bottom lands, and j
tlie dikes in which the celery is !
I bleached are laid out with precision.]
I regular ditches intervening.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Tin-; man who in the future will j
succeed in fanning or anything else j
I will be the one who ha* a good prae- j
. tical education.
There should be a grindstone • n j
i e very farm, but when there is not one
I a good file can be used to sharpen
j tools and implements.
Commercial fertilizers seem to huvi
no effect on white grubs, nor doe;- -
manure, but the latter stimulate-- ,
strawberry plants so as to repair the !
damage.
The care of stock, feeding, etc., is
often done hurriedly morning and
ni -lit, that the other work may re
ceive more attention. The care of the ]
stock is quite as important as any
other work.
There are many things that may I
and should be done in winter, such as j
nailing up boards and fences and |
building's, and, in a word, whatever
may lie done to save time when the
busy spring comes.
A writer expresses the belief that
we (hall yet have professional plant
doctors as wc now have veterinarians.
Every plant grower ought to be his
own plant doctor, and every animal
owner should be to a considerable de
gree his own veterinarian.—Farmers’
Voice
FEEDING EXPERIMENT.
I’ea* Mixed -ltll llrnn I* (lie Most I'rof*
it:l>lp I red for llog.
Bulletin No. 3t of the Utah Experi
ment station renders, the relative value
of wheat, peas, corn and barley in the I
production of pork. It is a record of a
feeding experiment with Berkshire
hogs during the winter of 1803-4.
There were four sets of hogs fed; one ]
was fed wheat and bran in equal pro
portions by weight; one peas and bran;
another corn and bran, aud a fourth
barley and bran. In other respects
the conditions were equal. Theexperi
ment extended from December 5, 1303,
to May 15. 10.0.
Peas mixed with bran, half an I
half by weight, proved to he far
superior to either wheat, corn or bar
ley mixed aud fed in the same manner,
both as to rapid gain and to the
amount required for one pound of
i gain.
The wheat mixture comes second. ;
with corn and barley following in the
order named.
The pea mixture gave a gain of near- ]
ly 200 pounds more than the wheat ;
I mixture; 225 pounds more than the ,
I corn mixture, and 25!) pounds more ]
than the barley mixture:
M liile the pigs averaged the same I
weight, it required .8!) of a pound
more of the wheat mixture, 1.41 pounds
more of the corn mixture, and 1.53
pounds more of the barley mixture to j
produce one pound of gain than of the !
pea mixture.
Peas and wheat proved to be excel
lent feed, fed mixed with bran in the I
manner described.
Reckoning pork at four cents per i
pound, live weight, after deducting !
tlie cost of the bran at SlO per ton, j
wheat fed in this experiment brought !
89.4 cents per bushel, or 5t.49 per hun
dredweight; peas, 81.70 per hundred
weight; corn, 51. 20 per hundredweight,
and barley, $1.23 per hundredweight.
On the above basis peas should be
worth 13 per cent, more than wheat,
while corn should be 15 per cent, lesr,
and barley 17 percent, less.
The pigs were pure bred Berkshire;*;
the gains were only moderately good
and not excessive.
WATERING THE STOCK.
, DrvU-u for Keeping Water from Chilling:
in Cold Weather.
On many farms the stock is watered
with water brought from a spring by
a pipe, at a comparatively moderate
temperature, which is soon lowered
by standing in an open trough on a
winter's day. even though the water
gradually passes through the trough
by an outlet and is renewed with the
warmer water of the spring. This |
trouble is avoided by making such a
trough as is figured in the cut—u
trough that is entirely inclosed by i, j
still-air space when the cover is shut. |
--■ .3
V . -
FOR WARM AXI) CLEAN WATER.
Cleats, not shown in the illustration,
should be nailed to the cover to shut
down over the trough proper, so that
no air can enter where the cover joins
the trough. This will retain the tern !
perature of the spring in the water
trough. While the trough cannot pre
vent water from freezing in severely ]
cold weather, yet. in fall and spring it 1
will materially assist in keeping the :
water clean, warm and free from sur- 1
face ice.--Webb Donnell, in Farm ami
Home.
HINTS TO FARMERS.
On an acre of rich, well-cultivated I
land, there may be grown five hundred ]
dollars' worth of berries,
j Preserve only strong, vigorous
I plants: give each room to develop and ;
j perfect its fruit. Prune severely.
I Damage by ordinary droughts may
lie prevented by summer mulch and
! frequent cultivation. Severe drought ]
requires almost constant cultivation
I and heavy mulching.
Peter Tim m ehow >• had better let.
] the fowls into his garden to eat up the j
weed see.l there. Come to think of it.
the garden fence is down and the i
chickens ate everything hut the weeds j
early in the season.
The waste of the dairy although I
employed profitably when fed to at- ]
most all stock is especially satisfae- |
t-ory as a part diet for fowls. Nothing !
will take the place of meat more sure- '
Iv. Tli • use of sour milk must be be- l

What to Do with f'hatT.
Chaff is a refuse, and on large wheat
| farms it is used in horse-stalls, or dis
posed of In any possible manner,
j There is nothing that will equal it on
the floor of the poultry-house, as it
absorbs moisture from the droppings,
: keeps the floor clean, and facilitates
j the work of sweeping out the house,
j It should lie u-.cd liberally, however,
j two or three inches deep being prefer
able to a light supply. It is better
than sawdust, as tlie hens do not in
jure themselves with it. as is often the
ease with sawdust when they till their
crops with it. (ut straw or leaves
may also be used with the chaff, the
combination of the several materials
bein r better than any one of them
alone; but th - chuff is better than any
other material, if it can be had, should !
it ho necessary to use only one sub
stance. A handful of millet seed, scat
tered in the chaff, will induce tlie lion:’
to begin work, and they will not care
to g r o <ut hie if the floor is kept con
stantly littered.—Farm and Fireside
MEASURING AN ACRE.
Easy Thing to Do If You Will Follow
T lir*f, Direct iorm.
Few farmers know the sh e of their
fields or how many acres they con'ain.
It is desirable—in fact, indispensable
—for good work that a farmer st - uld
know this, otherwise, he cannot ap
portion seed or manure for it; nor can
he tell how much time it should take
to plow. I row or cultivate it. A
good cotton cord, the size of a plow
line, should he kept for tills pu -posy
To make fine, buy 07 feet of cotton
rope, one inch round, fa ten a ring qt
each end. and make those rin r s pre
cisely 00 feet apart This is four rods.
Tie a p eee of red rag in tli - center
One acre of ground will lie n piece
I foot-of there cords long a -rl two ami
o::e-half wide, equal to Idxio rods,
j making 100 square rods to an acre.
The advantage of the rin-sis that
| one person can measure by driving .i
stake in the ground to hold the rope
while he stretches it out. The r •:> •
should be soaked in tar an I then dried.
This will prevent its shrinking.
Last year a neighbor of the write
hail a heavy sod plowed by contract at
$•1.50 per acre. Three persons stepped
it off. One said it was 4 acres; another
made it a little over 5, and the third
said it was acres.
The contractor sent over and got
this rope, and all five men measured
it, and it was found to be just ti 1 .
acres. lie had paid to have the gr.i ■>
cut off it for three years at 81 per acre,
or S 3 each season, counting it to be live
j acres in extent, thus losing 54.3 ( >
I through ignorance.
Get a measuring line, and when not
[ in use put it away, so that the hands
cannot get at it, or they will be very
apt to cut a piece off to tie up harness,
thus making it worthless for the pur
pose of measuring.
C- .-
The point is made by a writer that
fettling stock in the dark night and
morning is not a goo! plan, for the
feeder cannot see whether or not the
stock is at its feed or off its feed.

ITS ADV \NTAGES.
i Being a self-regulator, is always ready for
business; slacks up at 30 below, and takes a
new grip in the shade. Gently persuades a
runaway team to reconsider Its action. An
unruly bull is as safe as a canary in its cage.
II says to the festive hog, ‘Thusf r shall Ikon
go,” &e. The fierce winds and snow heeds il
not. The “ trespasser is not led into tempta
tion.” and the rail sieater’s occU|xttion Is gone.
Write for ciiculars and prices. We sell
largely ol it.

i shall have been duly vaccinated before being
I received in any school.
The provisions of the Act Include all schools,

I believed that it has been lather better ob

; the State, yet in the considerable proportion
: of instances it has been disregarded or evaded.
Although there does not exist at the present
time a single known case of smallpox within
l the limits or the State,yet it has prevailed in
the United States in afar greater number ol
| localities than is usual al this season of the
; year, and may at anytime make its appear
ance in this county.
The law has made fair provision for the com
pensation to physicians Ibr vaccinating those
( whose means render it difficult to pn\ the
usual fee for such services, and pure and relia
ble vaccine mattee can begratultously procured

Under these circumstances it is hoped and

I observed without necessitating the enforce
ment of the penalty attached to its disregard
