This calf is baby. and for the first

called rennet stomach that must take

when the calf begins first to chew the

ten weeks. Now, an observant rearer of
calves will easily notice when a calf
shows disposition teeommence to chew
the cud. and he will never force solids

disposition of this kind We should COM

and so take another lesson from nature.
Nature when left to herself turns the
baby calf out with his mother, and he
will take his food from ten to twenty
times a day. | have studied and watch

noticed how many times they will take

Worth Reading Twice.

The best sermons are oftentimes the
briefest, and American Agriculturist, in
the statements here presented, tells some
very important facts in the fewest of
words:
On an average, the man with the few
est clods in the field in the fall has the
most wheat in the field the next sum
mer.
Good farming consists as much in
overcoming adverse circumstances as in
improving fully favorable opportunities.
Pay cash if you have to borrow money
10 do it. The banker will charge you
less than the merchant for credit.
There is some sentiment about having
an ice house on the farm, but there is at
least as much financial wisdom.
The moon is never right while the seed
bed is cloddy.
Before you enlarge production cheaper
its cost.

Making Hives

Mr.. G. NJ. Alves, a Kentucky bee
keeper, has constructed hive which he
thinks presents many advantages. lie
recently described his hive, for the con-
sideration of others, in American Bee
Journal az follows:
The hive consists simply of rs many
frames as one chooses to use, placed side
by side with boards placed on each side
of the frames. The upright pieces Of
the frames are seven-eighths of an inch
thick and one and one-half inches wide,
with holes as shown in the illustration.
The top and bottom bars of the frames
are one-fourth by seven-eighths inch.
All of the corners of the frames are
alike, and as shown in the figure. The
side boards are the same length and
height as the frames, and have CORE
spending holes in the ends. The size Of
the holes of the side boards and frames
is one-half inch, excepting the center
frames, which have quarter-inch holes.
He uses g-inch bolts without nuts. but
with washers; hence the bolts screw
firmly into the center frame, and at the
same time have ample play in the other
frames and side boards to provide for
slight inequalities, The bolts are to be
manipulated with wrench, and when
SO done you have the whole held together
with a vice like grip; in fact, you prac-
tically have solid box. The advan-
tages claimed for this hive by Mr.. Alves
are;
l. By means Of different length of
bolts, you can expand or contract the
hive to any desired extent. \ three
frame hive will take four 3-inch bolts a
five frame hive will take four 4!!-inch
bolts; a seven frame hive will take four
6-inch bolts, and nine frame hive will
take four 73-inch bolts, and so on. If
you desire to divide a hive into two
nuclei, you have but to introduce thin
division board in the center. 2. There
can be no sagging, warping or dislo-
cation of the frames, as is frequent
" the case with hanging frames.
3. A very precise accuracy in con-
struction is not necessary. 4. The hive
is easy of construction and not expen-

Sheep in Small Flocks.

A member of the Oxford, o., Farmers
club, in some remarks on sheep growing,
said: Sheep are profitable and healthy
when kept in small flocks. They are
good scavengers, and with the exception
of ticks and grubs not liable to diseases
For grubs this farmers preventive is a
very simple as well rs effective one. 1t
consists of log with two-inch holes
bored into it. Salt is placed therein and
the edges of the augur holes are kept
smeared with tar. This keeps tar on the
sleeps nose and protects against the in
sect's egg, which produces grubs in the
head. His protection against ticks is
the dip" and against scab and foot-rot
the exercise of care in buying new stock.
He says: BE careful how you buy
stockers at the stockyards."

The house shown in the accompanying
cut affords a model for a creamery build
ing suitable for a farm, and was origin
ally described and illustrated by Prairie
Farmer. The one objection that may be
urged in some sections is the want OF
room for some heating apparatus. This
may be obviated by extending the build
ing in the front, or small furnace may
be put in cellar underneath.
The general arrangement of the build
ing is: Size, 12x20 feet, 8 feet high;
porch, feet wide, covering well and
force pump. The building stands on a
stone foundation, extending 2 feet above
the surface. The frame is of 2X4 scant-
ling. The boarding is perpendicular,
the cracks covered with nodded battens.

The following suggestions occur in the
annual report of the Maine state college
experiment station:
/. 1t is safer to purchase brands of
recognized good standing New brands
may be just as good or better than those
longer on the market, but their quality
should be carefully ascertained.
2. The composition Of the fertilizers in
the market can be learned from study
of the station reports of inspection. Com
pare the composition Of the different
brands which you have the chance to
purchase, and buy the one the value of
which comes most largely from nitrogen,
from phosphoric acid or from potash, ac-
cording to your needs. Your needs you
can only know from experience.
3. If the station money valuation Of
two brands differs by considerable, other
things being equal, buy the one having
the higher valuation. Do not give too
much weight to small differences in
money valuation.
f. The dryness and mechanical con-
diti0n Of fertilizer should be considered,
especially if it is to be used in a seed drill.

For every shooting star he claimed kiss
She. seeming coy, at first demurred to this;
But he, persisting, would not be denied
When he at length flying meteor spied-
And so, us evening grew apace, their eyes
Oft scanned the glittering aspect of the skies;
And when darling star caught either's sight
A sound of kissing broke upon the night.
And so il came to pass anon that she
Looked for a shooting star as much as he.
Nay, If by chance star escape1 his view.
She called his wandering fancy 20 it too.
When intervals seemed long between each hug.
She called him Oh a passing lightning bug;
And, ever taxing her ingenious mind.
Her ready wit enabled her TO find
More shooting stars in three short, feeting hour
Than would compose whole meteoric bowers,
But when she did her last pretext exhaust
And was about to yield her cause as lost.
She saw a switchman's lantern circling swing
And got the youth down TO a steady thing.

The Rev. Charles FL. Fowler,

of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, who has just completed

hence America will pay for its
anti-Chinese laws with the
blood of her citizens. "China
is not asleep" he said. They
little think, but they think. In

sWe are looking after our home

The price nf cotton has been

change 80 as to advance the
price of low middling One-fOurth
of a cent and to reduce the price
of good middling one-fOurth OF
n cent, relative to middling as a
bass. We suppose this has been
done because these is more good
middling cotton on the market
than low middllng. This piece
of financial legerdefmain on the
part of the cotton exchange
means that the buyer and moi
tie producer of cotton is to be
benefited by the superior quail
