A correspondent of the Michigan
Farmer says the cheapest way to make a
silo is to use the bay in barn and make
the sides tight. lie uses clover cut up
and packed tight After the silo is full
it should be weighted heavily and COW
cred tightly. Twelve acres of clover
put In a silo make more feed than twelve
acres Of hay, and is better for cows in
milk.
A New Hampshire farmer says that the
idea that the silo must be filled at once
and Immediately covered and weighted
is being gradually disregarded, while the
plan of gradual filing IS being adopted.
This requires less help and is attended
with much less expense. The process
can be carried on for an indefinite length
of time and no loss of time occur. and
the work stop at any time for two or
three days with no perceptible loss. BY
tn s method a good degree of heat is de
velopcd and the silo will hold a great
deal more than when filled at once and
closed. Besides, it is thought the ensil-
age is much better.

Effects of Frost on Fish.

A week or two ago there were para
graphs in several Of the papers descriuing
the large takes Of cOnger eels in the
channel during the cold weather. A
pondent sends me an interesting
extract from a book of the late rank
Buckland, which contains an explanation
of this phenomenon-the explanation
being that the frost causes the air in the
bladders Of the fish to expand, and SO
brings them to the surface. In one year
as many as so tons Of fish were caught
in this way by the Hastings boatmen

what Made enc nutter BAD.

A writer in Hoard's Dairymdn, find.
ing something wrong about the butter
from a herd of fifty-two cows, made a
thorough investigation with the follow
ing results: "Every possible source was
overhauled, till at last it was traced to
the milk of one particular COW, which
had been observed, when the cows were
out at their daily watering, TO make per
sistently for the dirtiest puddles in the
yard, and drink these in preference to
the running water to which she had free
access with the rest. When her milk
was kept separate it was found that the
milk of the other fifty-one was all right. +"

How to Make a Good Lawn.

Spring is the time to start lawns, and,
as they are usually permanent, the work
should be well done. The soil should
be deep and rich, not so sandy as to dry
out quickly or clayey as to crack or
bake. The seed bed should have a
smooth, even grade, and may be nearly
fat, gently rolling, or both. Avoid, by
all means, dished or uneven surface.
A stout garden line stretched taut be-
tween any two points will show whether
the land is level or not. If not, move
the higher portions into the depressions.
One accustomed to the work rarely
needs line, but for accurate work it is
best to use it, and if space warrants,
several at once. After levelirg, shade
1t, if small plat, or plow If large
enough, and harrow or rake to n fine
surface when it is ready for the seed.
Sodding is the quickest way to get a
lawn. This is done by placing thin
layers of grass or lawn sod. evenly cut,
on previously prepared ground, fitting
nicely together and rolling or packing
down with fiat rammer. 1t is desirable
to spread little good soil over the
lawn to fill up the cracks between the
sods and to give the grass good
start. Prairie Fdrmsr.

How to Keen Cellars Dry and Cool


A great mistake is sometimes made in
ventilating cellars and milk houses The
object of ventilation is TO keen the eel
lars cool and dry, but this object often
fails OF being accomplished by com
mon mistake, and instead the cellar is
made both warm and damp. A cool
place should never be ventilated, unless
the air admitted is cooler than the air
within, or is at least as cool as that or a
very little warmer. The warmer the air
the more moisture it holds in suspension
Necessarily, the cooler the air the more
the moisture is condensed and precipi-
tated. When cool cellar is aired on Il
warm day, the entering air in mo-
tion appears cool; but as it fills
the cellar the cooler air with
which it becomes mixed chills it, the
moisture is condensed, and dew is de-
posted on the cold walls, and may often
be seen running down them in streams
Then the cellar is damp and soon G.
comes mouldy. To avoid this, the win
dows should only be opened at night,
late-the last thing before retiring.
There is no need to fear that the night
air is unhealthful-it is as pure as the air
at midday, and is really drier. The cool
air enters the apartment during the
night, and circulates through it. The
windows should be closed before sun.
rise in the morning, and kept closed and
shaded through the day. If the air of
the cellar is damp, it may be thoroughly
dried by pla ing in it peck of fresh
lime in an open Lox. This quantity OF
lime will absorb about seven pounds OF
more than three quarts of water, and in
this way cellar or milk room may soon
be dried, even in the hottest weather.

Feeding 4 Horse Like a Child.

A pure white Arabian mare that is
being fed with a spoon is one of the
curiosities that excites the interest and
sympathies Of the horsemen Of Mont
golnery county, says the Philadelphia
Record. The animal belongs to john
M. Wilson, of Norristown, and is suffer-
ing from a most singular fracture Of
the iawbone. The injury is known. as
n fracture of the inferior maxilla of the
lower jawbone posterior in the ~incisor
teeth. Both bones Of the animals jaw
are broken completely Off, and the
lower portion of the jaw is now being
held ip place by a mask Of pliable cop
per lined with cotton The case is eX-
citing widespread interest among vet
Urinary surgeons. "
The accident to the animal occurred
last Sunday night. While tied with Il
halter in its stall at Mr.. Wilson's stable
it broke loose and, while mingllng with
the other horses, was kicked squarely
On. the front of the jaw. DR.. II. o.
Dengler, a. veterinary surgeon. in Nor
ristown, was summoned and he found
that the jaw was twisted to one side and
that the animal appeared to be suffer-
ing but little pain. After an eXamina-
tion of the fracture he reset the bones
temporarily and applied. a truss to the

On Monday Dr.. Dengler telegraphed
toe. j. Blank. of Easton, and j. Rein
hart S. Keller, of Harleysville, Mont
gomery county, two veterinary sur
geons, with whom he held "a consulta-
ton. They made an exhaustive search
of the archives OF animal fractures but
could not find a similar case to the one
they had under discussion, where: both
bones OF the jaw had been broken at the
same time. DR.. Dengler then perma-
nently set the broken jaw, an entire
day being spent in the operation. The
copper mask is kept tightly pressed to
the animals head, and its mouth is
kept in a bucket of cold water to reduce
the swelling in the jaw,
The mare is kept in sings, which are
securely attached to the roof of the
stable. so as to guard against her lying
down to go to. sleep. The canvas slings
will be kept about her body for about
four weeks, by which time DR.. Dengler
anticipates n marked improvement in
the fracture. So.
During that time it will be impossible
for the animal to take ordinary nour-
ishment, and she will be kept on a diet
of milk, eggs, oatmeal, butter and

The races OF yesterday at the Driving

fact, when the first race was rung up
there were barely two hundred persons
in the amphitheatres. So small an at
tendance was terribly discouraging to
the management, but for all that the
races we're put. on according to pro-
gramme. The weather was delightful
and the track was in elegant conditions;
in fact, it was a perfect racing day.
The first race on, at 2:l5 o'clock, was
the fifth heat Of the 2:35 trOt, which was
not finished the previous day. Mollie
II. and Betsy Baker were drawn, leav-
ing six horses in the field. Fannette
sold favorite in the pools, even money
against the field. The horses came
down for the word in the fol-
lowing order: Jennie Lynn pole,
Jeanette. second, Welchman third,
Peter Gar dncr fourth. Lady Leighton
fifth, Golden Wing sixth. The horses
were sent away at. the eighth trial.
They were punched around the. turn,
but Jennie Lynn led away on the back
| stretch. The field pulled up together
on the upper turn and came into the
home stretch in good shape, and under
the wire as follows: Jennie Lynn first,
Peter Gardner second, Welchman

The money was divided as follows:
