are of every conceivable kind and

more tents and tent houses but one
story frame buildings abound. A tent
house is half log or frame house and
half tent; it is simply she'll of logs or
boards with canvas roof. This kind
of building is very plentiful in the
West, and particularly popular in new
towns. The canvas Is not made
specially for the houses: it is an ordi-
nary tent adapted to the purpose.
Their size is often considerable. /
have seen them 80 by 30feet, but the
average are from so by 90 to 40 by 20.
They are plentiful because they are
cheap, lumber being an expensive arti-
Gle in new country, but they are
more comfortable than s tent. Any
thing covered with canvas is damp in
rainy weather, and ii1sufferably hot
when the sun pours down upon it;
besides light canvas is bot waterproof,
and here eight-ounce or Sucking is
used almost exclusively.
There is no seasoned lumber in the
town, and promises MOTTO be for some

plank was whipsawed, the amount

Farmers, Homes.

Frank d. Curtis, in his address be-
fore the New York State Agricultural
Society, said among other good things
in regard to farmers homes: A house
on a hill, with no trees around it,
looks cheerless and unhomelike. Have
grounds around the dwelling. Tear
away the fences; they cost money and
are useless. I mean fences shutting
the house up as If there was danger of
its running away. Let there be no
less than an acre of door-yard; ten
will be better Make rich lawn of
this and cut the grass. 1t can be no
waste, but it will be thing of
beauty; and a thing of beauty is a
Joy forever. There need not be any
loss to be tasteful; nature and beauty
are synonymous; good taste and
economy can therefore be made hand
maids to each other. Set your fruit
trees in this inclosure and dig around
them with a spade each year, and top
dress the whole, and the trees will
grow finely, and the grass will grow
luxuriantly, and the house will grow
beautiful, the children contented, the
fathers and mothers as they grow old
will grow happy, the neighbors will
grow to emulate and excel, the town
ship will grow attractive, and the
young men and the young women will
grow up to feel that there is no place
after all, like Home, Sweet Home. :"

1t must be borne in mind that the
most profitable system of keeping
fowls involves four things, i'll.
Crowding in winter for the sake of
warmth. 2. Plenty of room or fewer
fowls in summer. 3. Very early
Matched pullets for winter layers. 4.
Constant attention as to regularity of
food, cleanliness, pure water, the dust
bath, etc.
People who have hens, must be dis
tinguished from those who keep
fowls. Most of what is written is in
tended for the latter class, and these
are encouraged to become fanciers-a
poor plan, as rule. The beginner
should learn to keep fowls with profit;
then he may adopt breed which he
likes and become fancier, but in nine
cases out of ten there will be no profit
in it.
Our supply Of eggs in winter is very
limited, and it may be safely predicted
that the demand for fresh eggs will
be Unsuitable for years to come. The
people who should raise eggs in winter
are those who do not and who will not;
for there is no duller class of people in
the community, with reference to mat
tiers which require thought and change
of plan, or any plan at all, than farmers
that is, those who have hens.
The difference between an egg laid
by plump. healthy hen, fed with
good, fresh food daily, and an egg laid
by a thin, poorly fed hen is as great as
the difference between good beef and
poor. A fowl fed on garbage and
weak slops, with very little grain of
any kind, may lay eggs, to be sure, but
when those eggs are broken to be used
for cake, pies, ETC., they will spread in
weak, watery way over your dish, or
look milky white instead of having
rich, slightly yellow tinge. A "rich
egg" retains its shape as far as posi-
BILE and yields to the beating of the
knife or spoon with more resistance
and gives you the conviction that you
are really beating something thicker

Cows should have daily exercise and

When they are kept in the barn, they

cut, upland hay should form the basis
of their food, supplemented with silage,

fodder. They should have grain twice
day while giving milk. One quart
of corn meal, one quart of cottonseed
meal and two quarts of shorts make an
excellent ration. If one objects to
silage, good supply of roots should
be furnished, and Of these carrots and

Principles In. Farming.

In my observation of farming, find,
to large extent. that the good land
has to pay for the farm, carrying the
poor land with it, which, instead of
being a help, is burden, not unfre-
quently causing the less of the farm.
This has been the case especially in
the older parts of the country, and it
still holds to considerable extent.
Either there must be some means for
bringing up the poor land, or less
number of acres worked, for only the
best farming stands chance in this
age of rapid progress and close COM
petition, when land is high and profits
are small. There must be intelligence.
experience, acquaintance with the land
and climate, and the crops best adapt
ed. The knowledge is indispensable,
and practice must 60 with it; not only
is the trade to be learned so as to know
how to work and plan to advantage.
but the soil also must be understood,
in all its varieties. Actual experience
in understandingly working the soil
for years in succession, is imperatively
demanded il the best results would be
obtained.
It is of the most Importance to
understand the principles that apply
the why's and wherefores of what is
to be done. This is the domain of
science. For instance science tells us
that sunlight is an important element
in growing and perfecting seed. If.
therefore, the farmer plants his corn
50 as to shade the stalks. no ears viii
be formed; or, IL he allows his fruit
trees to be crowded TO the extent Of
shading the fruit, small and imperfect
specimens win result. This teaches
less closely planting trees and thinning
out the branches planting corn SO Is
to give access to sunlight. There Is.

Raisanw Colts

It is time for our farmers To under
stand. says an experimenter, that the
DAYS of the small horses are over, ex-
cept to drive to town and for light
livery work. They cannot afford
either to raise them or own them. If
they observe carefully they will dis
cover that it costs no more to keep a
colt two years than calf, and that
during these two years on stock keep
the colt will increase in value great
deal faster than the calf. We do not
advise farmers TO go altogether into
horse farming, or into any other
speciality. But along with the calves
and pigs, raise few good, large colts.
1t is unsafe to devote farm to any one
kind of stock. The true wisdom is to
raise some of each, but whatever you
do raise the best. We have learned
by experience that corn is never so
cheap or grass so plenty that it will
pay TO put either into scrub cattle,
scrub hogs or scrub horses. And the
man who does it when he can help it
win soon be rated as scrub farmer.
