K.en the Cistern Clean.

A large per cent of sickness is due to
tho impurities in the water used for
drinking and culinary purposes. In many
sections cisterns are depended On for the
water supply; these when i'll constructed
are n danger to health because OF the i'm.
puritfes which obtain access to water and
unfit it for use. Every part around the
surface of a cistern ought to be made
close.
A cistern may be made both frost and
vermin proof as follows: Let the beams
that support the floor be bedded in the
wall or shoulder of the cistern and covered
with lime or cement mortar, leaving
smooth surface all around for the first
floor Cover this with second floor
raised eight or ten inches on frame of
two by ten jolsts made of cedar or other
wood. Pack the earth closely against
this frame and let the top floor extend a
few inches beyond the frame all around.

A Sensible Clstcrn--isreed Swine for
Other Points than Fnt-An Important
Towl-Ncw and Beautiful Piant-Win-
ter Feeding Of Sheep.
Feed racks ought to be so constructed
that sheep can procure their food without
tearing the wool from their nccks or fill
ing their flccccs with dust chaff or hay
seed. Make the floor of the loft close and
tight to prevent the dropping OF dust from
above. A rack suitable for hay or straw
approved of by Henry Stewart and used
by many eastern farmers is illustrated In
the accompanying cut. This rack should
be about 81 feet high at the front. The
bars are placed 3 inches apart and may be
of oak, ash or chestnut, finished smooth,
and inch thick by l. u inches wide.
The front of the rack should slope back
ward ut the top 8 or inches to prevent
the hay or clover dust from falling out
upon the Sleeps heads. At the rear of
the rack sloping boards are fitted, so that
as part of the hay or straw Is eaten the
rest falls down to the front where the
sheep can reach it. The end of the rack
ought to be closed with bars in the same
way as the front, so that lambs cannot
creep in and get lost. This rack may be
made Of any desired length.
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1886-12-24

The variety of foods suitable for the
winter feeding of sheep is extensive.
Hay, straw, pea and bean haulm, corn
fodder, and roots of various kinds, corn,
oats, rye, buckwhoat, cotton seed and
linseed oil cake. meal and bran furnish a
wide field from which proper choice of
food can be made.
The relative feeding values of these
various substances as food will determine
their relative money values, and as these
differ and fiuctuate from time to time, it
is often necessary, in order to secure the
most profit on the feeding, to select the
food that is most economical in it's use,
although it may be the highest in price.
Glover hay is one of the most valuable of
single foods for winter use, provided it
was cut when in blossom, cured so as to
preserve all its good qualities and kept
free from damp and mold. Well cured
pea straw is preferred by many next to
clover hay and before timothy or any
other hay. Dat straw is readily eaten by
sheep and is q heal.hful food. Barley,
wheat and rye straw will help to keep life
in the stock, but are not sufficiently
nutrtive to contribute much to the
growth Of flesh or wool and ought there
fore to be used only as adjuncts to roots
and grains or oil cake meal. Rye straw
that is affected by ergot is highly injuri-
GUS to pregnant ewes and is also the occa-
sion of Inflammation of the stomach and
sheep TINT feed on it, Such
straw ought to be used only for litter.

Another important point is to get rid Of
the sediment which gathers at the bottom
of every cistern. This is easily accom-
plished by carrying the OVERLOOKING pipe
to the bottom of the cistern on a limo
with the inlet pipe, and thereby forming
q current which disturbs the sediment
and carries 1t. into the overflow, as is
shown in the illustration.
The illustration also shows the arrange
ment of the draw ripe, which should
have fine wire strainer on the end and
should rest upon support near the
bottom of a fine strainer at least two feet
high A piece of one-quarter inch mesh
of galvanized wire gauze bent into pipe
a foot in diameter and covered with thick
flannel cloth doubled makes an excellent
filter for the water A cstern thus con-
structed six years ago for use in dairy
barn, says the correspondent who de-
scribed it in The American Agriculturist,
has never required cleaning, and the
water has always been good.

Sensible Advice About Swine.

At the National Swine Growers con-
venton Professor Morrow in an address
said he thought that growers had gone
far enough in developing the fat produc-
ing capacity and in getting up fancy
points. He gave the following sensible
advice:
''Breed from mature animals. Select
breeding stock with reference to health,
activity and vigor, and not alone with
reference to early maturity, case of fat
tening or possession of the minor points
distinguishing breeds Cease to magnify
petty points as essentials, thus limiting
our selections. Recognize the fact that
grass and clover are natural and admir-
able food for hogs, old and young Give ex-
ercise to the young and all breeding hogs.
Give some variety of food and not corn
alone In food, water and shelter give
that reasonable care to secure good SAM
tary conditions which common sense and
experience dictate. Trust little to the adj
vertised specific for Diseases

Numbered with important lessons
learned by wide awake farmers at the
recent stock shows at Chicago, is the ad-
vantge of pure blood in the improvement
of all stock and the excellence attained
through careful selection and breeding in
meat production and in the dairy inter
eSts.
The show of cattle comprised short
horns, Jerseys, Herefords, Devons, Aber-
deem Angus, Holstein-F reision, Sussex
and grades and crosses. The Herefords
made fine show, though not present in
great numbers. The breed most largely
represented, both by pure bred animals
and grades, was the short horn.
The swine breeders were out in full
force, and the show Of fat hogs repre-
sented the various breeds, Berkshires,
Poland Chinas, Essex, Duroes, Victorias,
large and small Yorkshires and others.
The exhibit of horses was fine one,
especially in draft horses-Normans, Per-
cherons and Clydesdales. There was also
fair showing of Cleveland bays and
French co,ch horses.
At the poultry show the Plymouth
Rocks and Brahmas appear to have lost
none of their old popularity, and were out
in fine array. OF the newer breeds the
Langshang and Wyandottes lead. These
two breeds seem to be running a very
even race for popularity.

Free Trade.

The reduction Of internal revenue
and the taking offof revenue from Pro-
prietary Medicines, no doubt has large
ly benefited the consumers, as well as
relieving the burden of home manu-
facturers. Especially is this the case

chee's German Syrup for cough and
lung troubles, have perhaps, the larg-
est sale Of any medicines in the world.

One of the great delights of a child's
Christmas is the Christmas tree This is
SO easily provided as to be within the
reach of all who desire to make the 25th
of December what it ought to be-a gala
day for the young folk. An evergreen
tree of size suited to the number of the
household can be kept firmly in place by
inserting it in hole bored in a heavy
square block of wood. A small tree may
be set upon u table; for large one rude
lew platform can be constructed. Cover
table or platform with green baize, or,
better still, with moses and lichens.
The tree may be lighted with tapers or
ordinary small lanterns covered with
bright colored flannel. Festoons of pop
corn strung on thread furnish II cheap
and at the same time effective decoration.

A Good Word for Geese.

The goose, as the holidays draw near,
becomes bird of importance, assuming
at the Christmas feast much the same
position the turkey claims at Thanksgiv-
ing dinners.
Just why more farmers do not raise
geese does not appear; they are harder
than turkeys and much easier to rear,
and when fat always bring good price in
the market.
For commercial purposes it is advised
to select either the Toulouse or Embden
varieties. The FORMER is commonly known
as the gray goose because its plumage is
of that color, and the Emblem is called
the white goose, its plumage being white
throughout. AS to quality of flesh these
varieties are about equal. Hence a choice
between the two is greatlya matter of
individual taste. To make goose keeping
q paying business, no matter what variety
is kept, it is necessary to have a good
pond with a plentiful supply of water.
They ought also to have house all to
themselves, regularly supplied with
straw.
