The shoe shown in the cut here pre-
sented is intended for draught horses.
If the horse pulls from the outside toe,
the outer side quarter and heel will wire
in. To overcome this tendency the style
of shoe shown was designed by Professor
William. Russell. author of Scientific
Horse Shoeing." He says that amy Or
binary shoe may be used, on which the
toe piece at A may be welded, which
should extend over the outside rim of
the shoe, say from one-half inch to an
inch. Stave up the outside heel of the
shoe sufficiently to get good broad COW
ering for the narrowed in heel and quar-
ter Use the round fullering tool to
swedge the shoe wide enough to obtain
good bar pressure. Turn up heels, and
weld calk on the outside heel, and fit
the shoe snug to the wall up to both
sides of the frog.
The effect of the projecting toe piece is
to brace or stay the weak part of the
ankle and foot, and in two or three shoe
iDgs the foot will become natural in its
<>0vements, and fairly returned to its
normal sta

of Country Gentleman. He says: The
arrangement illustrated l made last
summer for keeping my turnips, pota-
toes and rutabagas, which find works
well and costs very little. 1 cut three
good sized posts, with forks at one end,
about 0 feet long; put them IN ground
deep enough to be firm. Then took two
heavy poles, z551S:nat 16 feet long. ana
placed them in forks of uprightS. Goo
sized poles were then laid against the
,ones in forks, ends resting on ground
and slightly sunk, to keep from slipping
out of place.
| They shout be put at an angle to bear
Considerable weight. Against the south
end upright post nailed an old door
frame with door, SO that when filled
could put the room under lock and key.
built the frame just before threShing
my wheat. When the machine came,
put it so that the straw, in coming from
same, would fall over the skeleton room.
1 also made a skeleton vestibule to the
door, and had it also covered with straw,
and find it quite good, as it keeps rain
and snow out of ones neck when I'M
locking the door.

The Rutter EXTRACTOR.

The improved system of dairy manage
ment now in use was, as might be ex-
pected, fully demonstrated at the late
Royal Agriculture show. Cream is no
longer, in the most progressive diaries,
allowed to rise spontaneously, but cen
trifugal separators, whirling the fresh
milk in many hundred revolutions a
minute. cause the heavier particles to
seek the circumference of the vessel,
while the lighter cream collects in the
center and is drawn off in fresh state.
At the Windsor show an improvement
on-these centrifugal separators was in
troduced under the name of Butter Elk
tractor" With this the milk enters the
machine as in ordinary extractors, and
the skim milk is delivered in much the
same manner, the great difference being
that instead of cream being delivered by
the other tube, butter is given out in the
granulated form. Although much in
terest was excited by the butter extrac-
tor, the fact that its appliances are quite
complicated will, it is thought, render
its coming into common use at present
somewhat uncertain. 1t was exhibited
by the Aylesbury dairy and is manufac-
tured by the Extractor company, OF
Stockholm

Time for Sowing Wheat.

There have doubtless been instances
where few days difference in the time
for sowing wheat has had large and
exceptional influence on the success of
the crop. This may have resulted from
other causes than the exact time. Series
of experiments have been made to deter
mine the best time, by sowing at regular
stated intervals, resulting in gradual
dininution in the crop from the latter
part of September till early in Novem-
bor, the latter proving small and poor.
The fertility and condition of the soil has
. large controlling influence, and If fine
" pulverized, it will give much greater
Seturns than in badly prepared land.
Artificial fertilizers, and especially super
phosphates, produce a great improve
nnent on some soils, and on others they
have produced too little benefit to pay
cost. There is less difference in the time
Of ripening, from the fact that the
weather at the period of ripening hastens
the process rapidly, producing but little
difference in most cases, says Country
Gentleman.

A STACK vENTILAToR.

The ventilation need not extend fur
Their than the body of the stack, with a
tube leading to the top in extreme cases.
The trough below shows admission of
air beneath.
The same general means may be used
in ventilating very wide ear corn cribs
for corn somewhat damp. Make skele-
ton of 2x4 scantling in the shape of an
inverted A to, say, 3 feet high, upon
which nail strips, leaving 8 inch spaces
between each strip. The bottom of the
ventilator need not be more than 80
inches across. 1t should be run clear
through the crib and within, say, feet
of each end. If from any cause corn
should get very damp. as from a too
open or moist winter, the ventilation
will repay the cost.
In the second cut is shown a straw
stack so constructed as to provide root
room underneath the straw. This latter
is the device of a Maryland farmer, who
originally described it for the benefit

Live Stock Notes.
normal sta, :.

The following live stock notes for Au-
gust are furnished by American Agri-
culturist:
A sun struck COW is ruined as mixer
for this season, if not forever. Avoid
such calamity, if there are no trees in
the pasture, by putting up frame and
roofing it with leafy brush for an arti-
fetal shade. Later plant trees.
Horses enjoy greatly bath after
work. Where there is stream with a
safe bottom easily accessible, give them
and the bows a treat But always let
them cool off before bathing. Horses
hard at work through the day get hardly
satisfied upon grass only. Give feed
of grain before turning out to pasture,
and another early in the morning.
Wean the lambs, giving them rich
grass or clover pasture. Prepare for
early lambs; Southdown makes the
best cross for quality. Whatever breed
is used, be sure that the ram is pure
blood.
The run of a good pasture will bring
the pigs into excellent condition for fat
teniDg.
Now is a good time to kill off land eat)
The mongrel fowls that have accumu-
lated, and start anew with pure stock of
whichever variety may be preferred.

The time for trimming hedges of all
kinds is in midsummer, after the shrubs
have made thrifty growth.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-08-27

Mr.. Andrew S. Faller finds that the
green cabbage worm is discouraged by
the following treatment: Two quarts of
coal tar are put into an open vessel,
which is set in the bottom of barrel
and the barrel is filled with water. In
forty-eight hours the water is impreg-
mated with the odor of the tar, although
the tar is then sprinkled abundantly on
the cabbages and the odor penetrates
every portion of the head, killing or
driving away the worms. As the water
evaporates no stain nor odor remains on
the cabbage. The same quantity of coal
tar can be made to impregnate several
successive barrels of water.

feeding sparingly until the harvest opens.
then work for swarms, not honey"
Liberal feeding and contraction of the
brood nest will undoubtedly accomplish
the desire of your heart" says Eugene
Secor. eff your yield is good, and you
hive after swarms, they should increase
all you desire without feeding" is the
opinion of G. NJ Doolittle. J. E. Ponds
advice is to "adopt the nucleus plan of
artificial swarming, feed literally when
needed, and build up. Keep at least
one-half of the colonies intact, to draw
brood from with which to build up the
nuclei"
James Heddon says: You can encour-
age swarming by giving the bees only
Just enough surplus room at once to keep
them busy; that is, none to spare. Do
not keep them well shaded, but allow
solar heat to make their home uncom-
Portable. Pray for a favorable season for
swarming. You need not feed
II. L. Taylor's plan is to hive each
swarm on a new location, and retain
with the swarm only sufficient bees to
build up into good colony, letting the
rest go back If that does not make it
lively enough for yoa, feed in times of
scarcity.
If the season does not furnish the
means to your ends, produce them by
feeding. Feed just enough to promote
the rearing of the brood, and feed daily.
Do not feed SO much as to gorge the
combs, but feed just enough-observe
closely and feed ''just enough" says NJ.
Schuck.
The editor concludes as follows: Prob
ably it will be as well to divide the col
onies and thus increase them. If honey
is plenty, they will not need feeding; if
it is not, then feed them literally.

ELECTRIC powER.-The utiliza-
ltion aud distribution Of electric
bower are stated by Mr.. f. l.. Pope
Ito have reached by far the greatest
development in Switzerland and
/ he United States. In the former
country electricity is transmitted
4 10 considerable distances for large
motors. AT S0lothurn a manulac-
story of machine screws is driven
sby an electric motor of 50-horse
bower, which drives Its energy
from a turbine wheel more than
| five miles away on a mountain
stream. At Derendingen, a de-
laine mills of $4,000 spindles, is
! driven by a pair OF electric mo
I st0rs OF 2S0-h0rse power operated
4 by a turbine wheel twelve miles
distant. AtLucern 120-horse pow
er is similarly carried half mile,
and 250-horse power quarter of d
mile. In the United States nc
electric motor Of than 60-horse
power is known 10 Mr.. Pope, but
5there are as many as 5000 small
motors in use, a iaVOrIle size being
l1O-horse power. 1t is predicted
that in cities electric motors vii
soon practically supplant the steam
engines of less than 5O-horse
power.

DRIFTING.
by NJ. ALLIE DAVIS.

sThoy are drifting, slowly drifting to 4
homo beSo the tide,
sOne by Que the ships so floating over tt
] the other side;
In the cleaning, oft I hear them-thro
the purple shadows falling,
Voices of our loved and lost ones DER tht
unseen river callug.
They are drifting slow but surely, thro
the valley damp and drcar,
But the Saviol's dear hand leads them
and they feel no doubt or fear;
One by one their echoing footsteps die
upon tho silver strands,
One by enc in waxen beauty, fold the
pulseless, weary hands.
They are drifting, drifting, drifting down
the eddying stream of time,
One by one like phantom shadows, from
every home and every cline;
In the morning, in the evening, when the
leaves begin to fa'l,
In the spring time, in thu summer when
the feashery snowhakes fall.
When at eve the light is fading, gazing
westward with smile;
Crimson curtains backward falling, re-
vealed the fair -ernal isle;
Unseen fingers bcckon 10 them, hold the
portals open wide;
Angels whisper I'VE are waiting" And
To- they vanish from our side.
Drifting outward, onward ever; our lives
simple tale soon told;
Shade and sunshine, joy and sorrow, then
shroud our forms enfold;
Soon, all soon the fears that haunt us
VIII like low'ring clouds of night
Fade before the glorious splendors of the
Resurrection lighF.
