A MODEL FARM GATE.-My father
spent one whole summer on farm gate
which was model of its kind. Two of
them would have taken up a small farm.
1t was one of the most perfect things to
climb over that you ever saw. 1t would
give employment to two men TO open it.
A small engine would work it easily. l
suggested to the old gentleman an i'm
provement by placing the boards wider
apart, so it would be handler to crawl
through. He suggested an improve
ment in my manners with a shingie. 1t
was nearly as good as pair of slip bars.
1t was SO hard to open that / always
went to one side and climbed the fence.
He finally remodeled it and fixed it so he
could drive through it without getting
out by letting the tongue of the wagon
strike it and knock it down, but he had
to get out when through and set it up
again; he afterward remodeled it into
stove wood.

MANY ladies are annoyed by their
white spool cotton becoming gray with
the particles of dust that will accumu-
late in work baskets, but 90 not feel lik .
spending money to buy thread-case.
Here are directions for making substi
tute: Take small pasteboard box Ia
collar box is good, cut piece of thin
board to fit it tightly, bore holes in this
at convenient distances for the spools to
stand, and into the holes fit small wood
en- pegs an inch in height and of
such size that the spools placed ON them
will revolve easily; then in the sides of
the box pierce small holes for the end
of the thread to pass through, and you
have a spool case without cost, which, if
not as ornamental as one bought at the
shops, will be equally useful If one
chooses the box may be prettily orna-
mented with gilt paper, flowers cut from
wall paper or any of the various meth
DDS for decorating fancy boxes.-N. Y.

FAST WALKING HORSES.

The best gait horse has is the fast
walk. A slow walking horse is an
abomination. Who has patience with
such horse. If you ride him or drive
him, he exhausts your patience. If The is
used TO plow or harrow, or to 90 on the
road, he mopes along at snail's pace
He does only about half the work Of a
rapid walker. If time is money, you
make money because you save time by
having horse that walks fast.
Breeders should pay attention to this
matter. In selecting stallion to breed
from, By all means select one that can
walk fast. A slow walking stallion will
be likely TO get slow walking colts; while
the stallion that has long, rapid, spirit
ed stride, will be likely to beget colts
with a similar action.
Then, there is great deal IN breeding
to a horse with spirit and ambition.
These cold-blooded horses will beget
cold blooded colts. The nearer you can
approach the thoroughbred, even for
obtaining a fast walker, the better.
There is game there, and spirit, and en-
durance, and stamina, and style. There
are the neat, bony heads. the prominent
eyes, the small ears, the capacious nos
trils, the large lungs and chest, the we'll
developed muscle, the bones as dense as
ivory.
Even for walkers, then, get the near
est to thoroughbred as possible, and the
same for trotters, and, of course, the
same for runners. You have then horses
fit for any company, and for any pur-
pose-to haul the plow, or buggy, or to
carry you upon their backs. Breed large
fine mares to thoroughbred horses, and
you will get colts that you will not be
to have your friends see

USE OF CORN MEAL 1t is queer that
so wholesome an article as corn meal
occupies position of so little import
ance food in our food curriculum
Whether We may account for this on
account of an Unborn love of fermented
bread, which meal will not make, or
because to SO many it suggests term of
poverty when its use was a necessity,
We are unable to divine. Certainly its
more common use would be blessing in
that it is most healthful food. Many
attribute to it properties that render it
indigestible, and hence say it is poor
sflment for dyspeptics. This is only
when it is poorly cooked The truth is,
corn meal is not generally cooked suffi-
ciently to be real wholesome.
There is more working force found in
corn meal than in wheat flower The
latter is better brain food, but to the
man of muscle who requires that his
strength be well kept up by his food, no
grain is comparable to corn. The three
grand rules in making corn bread are:
Never have the meal ground too fine;
always have it fresh; never fear baking
too much.

SMOKING IN THE BARN-''No Smok-
ing" ought to be posted in every barn.
There is not much difference between
having horsethief around the stables
and a man cleaning of the horses and
tending cattle with pipe in his mouth !;
and there is no hired man much meaner
than the one who, when his employer
comes around, slips his pipe into his
pocket, or holds his hand over it, as if it
were = little bird. All such fellows
should be payed off, and kept off. As
for the farmer himself going into the
barn with pipe in his mouth, no COM
plant can be made; but if his establish
mcnt burns up, nobody should cry, un-
less it be the wife and children. Light
nii ( and incendiaries and spontaneous
combustion, combined, do not cause as
many barns to be burned as the filthy
practice of smoking.

FATTENING PoULTRY.-The London
Field states that poultry properly fed
will acquire all the fatness needed for
marketing purposes in fortnight or
three weeks at most. Their diet should
be Indian, oat or barley meal, scalded in
milk or water; the former is the best, as
it will expedite the fattening process.
They should be ted early in the morning
at noon, and also in the evening just
before going to roost. A plentiful sup
ply of pure fresh water, plenty CT gravel,
sliced cabbage or turnip tops. If the
fowls are required to be very fat, some
trimmings Of fresh mutton suet may be
chopped up and scaIded with their other
feed, or they may be boiled in milk
alone and poured over the meal. This
renders the flesh firmer than it otherwise
would be. When fit to kill, feeding
should be stopped for twelve hours or
more, that the intestines may become
empty.

SLEEPING PLACE FOR HoGs.-It is a
ruce looking affair. 1t cost but little
money. Twenty-Five cents invested in
nails and two days labor covers the en-
tire cost. The material is the remains
of an ancient granary, and the plank
from wornout stable floor. The roof
is load ot wild grass from the bottom.
1t is ten by twelve feet high, with
small door in the southeast corner. The
walls are double and the space of four
inches between them stuffed with straw
The cold wind cannot find even a warm
hole for entrance. We located it in the
back part of the orchard Oh a dry piece
of ground. The ground is the floor.
1t is homely, primitive looking struct-
ure, but doubt not, if the hogs could
give us their opinion, they would say it
was the most comfortable building on
the tarm. And if every farmer in the
State of Ohio had such sleeping place
for his store hogs it would in the aggre-
gate save thousands of dollars the pres
ent winter. Besides, | think it will
come handy in narrowing time next

SCALDED FOOD FOR HENS.

In point of economy it will pay gener-
ously to grind and cook grain of all sorts
or vegetables before such feed is given
to hens. The grave trouble with large
portion of families who keep hens is they
supply their fowls with feed at irregular
times; deal out too much at one time
and not enough at another; feed soft and
nourishing feed one day, coarse and
rough feed at another time; keep their
fowls In cool apartments; provide no
water nor gravel for them, and then won
der what can be the matter with all their
hens that they do not lay in cold wealth
er. A writer in the Practical Farmer,
when recording briefly his mode of feed
ing hens In cold weather, states that
those who want their hens to lay in win
ter should give them a warm breakfast.
This is easily done by cooking or scald-
ing the mess. When the scalding pro-
cess is adopted the mess should be
well stirred 30 that all the parts are
equally scalded. The feed should con-
sist of corn and oats chopped together
with wheat, bran or middlings in about
equal parts. Where potatoes are plenty,
a pot full may be boiled, and, when done
and the water drained from them, the
ground feed may be poured over them
and the whole mashed up together
and fed in troughs. Where it is
found necessary to feed whole grain
as corn, oats, wheat, buckwheat, ETC.
it should always be boiled and fed warm
in the morning. 1t will be a little more
trouble to prepare the food thus, but
eggs in winter are worth little trouble.
Fowls thus fed, and having access to a
cabbage or sheaf of oats or
wheat, together with some ground bone
or crushed oyster shells and plenty of
pure water, will lay well in the coolest
weather, if they have a warm house
Try it and see how it will work. We
have always been satisfied with the plan.
