poles, small ends on bolster, two inches
from the standard and fit in cross-piece
as shown, to go through the goose neck.
After shaping it to the holes in the poles
pin it closely. Put small round in the
two holes which are near the tips of the
poles.
The first piece inserted should be
strong, as by it the improvised sled is to
be drawn. A round should also be put
in through the holes at the thick end Of
the poles. The poles should be boarded
from this round up five or six feet to-
ward the small end to prevents stubs or
stumps from catching the fodder which
is to be thrown across the poles for
hauling. This is convenient for fodder
and other bulky and heavy materials
like apple barrels, cider barrels, etc.
The poles resting on the front bolster
make it handy to turn, and the entire
arrangement is drawn from the reach
and dng-pin the same as wagon.

The EnsiIage system.

Many practical farmers have adopted
the ensilage system, and think highly
of it. The question of its value, as COM
pared with the drying of fodder, is not
yet, however, entirely settled. Prof.
Sanborn, of Connecticut, sums up the re-
suits of carefully conducted experiments
as follows: Corn-fodder may be success
fully dry-stored, and more cheaply than
in the green state. A given amount Of
dry food stored lasts longer than the
same amount put in silo. Silage-fed
steers made a less substantial growth
than those dry-fed, and probably did not
make really as great growth of solid
matter. Dry fodder for cows proved
more effective than silage, producing
the richest and best milk. Dry food
gave the best butter, which seemed to
keep better. Dry food is more cheaply
handled, and COWS maintain their live
weight best upon it. The air-drying
method with dry storage in good barn
in compact form is decidedly the more
economical method Of the two.--N. Y.
Examiner.

1T is not necessary that a playhouse
should not freeze, but it is necessary
that the air should be free from damp
ness and the chilliness which is con-
nected with a cellar or warm, damp
place. Hogs are very susceptible to
colds, both inward and outward, and to
rheumatism.
THE Mirror and Farmer calls atten-
ton to the fact that geese can do
good work on any location over
run with weeds, when the weeds are
young. Many kinds of young weeds are
preferred to grass by geese, and espe-
cially plantain and purslane. Geese go
right down to the roots for the plants,
and effectually keep them down if the
flock is large one.
THE amount of honey to expect from
hive can not be estimated by the num-
Der of bees in the colony, but upon the
advantages possessed by the bees for
working. During long spells of wet
weather the bees can do no work, nor
can they fill the combs unless they have
ample opportunity upon which to work.
There must be bloom of some kind or
there will be but little honey.
IT is an easy matter to farm prohtably
on rich soil, ample capital and with all
the necessary appliances, but the farmer
who expects to succeed with limited IA
cilities will find it improbable to ad-
here too rigidly to customs of the past.
1t is essential that the farmer advance
carefully, but no farmer can expect to
obtain the full benefit of his labor I'M
less he is willing to accept the results
of experiments, and to endeavor to i'm
prove his opportunities.

a Simple but Excellent Device for Draw
ing Fodder.
In most localities, says a writer in
Farm and Home, people are looking for
something on which to draw their
fodder corn to their silos and feeding
lots at this time of the year. 1 have
tried all devices, and good sled upon
the snow can hardly be improved upon,
but this is a poor thing upon bare
ground, and wagon is too hard on the
back in lifting the green stover on and
off. l prefer an arrangement like that
shown in the drawing. Two straight
poles sixteen feet long and four inches
thick at the butt should be bored in
three places; first two feet from the
butt end, second at the small end and a
third time a short distance from the
small end.
The front wheels should be taken of
a heavy wagon and the reach should be
removed. Next put in a short reach or
a piece of scantling which will extend
back about one foot. Bore three-quar-
ter inch hole near the end of this and
pin it to a goose neck. Next lay the

are placed inside; they can be either
halved together or simply placed with
ends butting up to each corner. On the
tops of these stills are spiked in regu-
lar courses six-inch wide plank two
and one-half inches thick, one-half the
ends of one course projecting over the
course next below it, as appears in the
foregoing sketch. This building up is
continued until the desired height is
reached; in ours it was carried up twenty
feet from the bottom of sill to top of last
course, on which the rafters are placed
and all rooted in.
To build on this plan requires little
more lumber than to erect a balloon
frame, and plank both the outside and
inside of the same. But no frame build
ing can be put together that will resist
the pressure of inclosed contents, and
be as easily made air-tight as one built
after this plan. Witness the immense
grain elevators that stand throughout
the Northwest, some of them holding
their millions of bushels of grain If
bins located away up hundred feet
from the bottom of their walls, which
are built up with inch boards placed fiat
sides together, one above the other.
The silo walls are lined on the inside
with tarred paper, over which one-inch
boards placed perpendicularly are
nailed, making perfectly alright wall.
If the builder had any fears of frost en-
tering such a wall, after lacking on the
building-paper let him nail on inch
strips to which to nail the inside boards.
Do the farmers of the South know the
value of sorghum as fodder plant for
nearly all stock? Has any grower found
out that it can be cut twice, and posi-
bly, thrice, in a season? If the tame
grasses do not thrive in this warm eli
mate, here is plant that will, together
with little bran and corn meal, furnish
a suitable ration, and more of it than
any other with which l am familior. 1t
can be cut twice that we know, and
used in its green state: it can be sliced,
and will furnish an excellent ration for
mich COWS during the winter and early
spring months. Feed it to young horses
once day; hogs thrive on it, and sheep
love If dearly

murmuring and snarling of one of he
largest throngs that had ever gathered
there.

men," said the presiding officer of the in
fernal regions, "for the purpose of deciding

he continued, in a voice that pierced the re

ence. The contestants will now have an
opportunity to be heard"
81 was a country blacksmith for fifty
three years." called out one of the claim
ants, as he mounted the platform and
looked complacently about.
There was murmur of applause, and
general shaking of heads, accompanied by
whispered observations to the effect that
his record would be hard to beat.
An uncanny specter, with countenance
that would have broken the strongest
camera on the surface of the earth, came
to the platform next.

'And made the first machine for clip

The presiding officer checked the applause
that followed, the assembly having seemed
FOL ar Ia Of ha

A hard-looking resident mounted the
rostrum. ''My friends" he said, II made
the first cheCz-rein."
In vain the chairman attempted to silence
the cheering of the audience. 1t was only
after some of the noisiest of spirits near the
door were thrown out and the warning
given that the galleries would be cleared if
the offense were repeated that order was
restored.
Suddenly commanding voice rang out:
81 invented the barb wire feuce.''
4 deathlil1e stiffness pervaded the cav
ernous place. With the conviction that no
contestant would have the hardihood to dis
pute the claim of the last speaker the chair
man half rose as if to announce that the
controversy was at an end.
At this moment a comparatively mild
looking and unpretentious shape took its
place on the platform and looked timidly
about.

FARM AND GARDEN.
vENTILATING DAIRY BARNS.

Fresh Air n Necessity, and One Way OF
Obtaining 1t.
In order to produce a pure article all
of the ingredients must be pure and
the processes of change they undergo
must, says the Orange Judd Farmer,
be free from foreign influences. In
seeing that the water and food are
pure, the stalls well cleaned and
bedded and the animals kept warm,
one very important consideration is apt
to be overwhelmingly, pure air.
Where the atmosphere is not kept
pure the effect upon the system soon
asserts itself in one way or another;
the milk may not show it directly at
first, but the quality of the products is
liable to be influenced. When this is
the case it is generally a good plan TO
look well to the ventilation of the
barn and increase it according to cir
cumStances.
A too common way is to leave open the
hay shoot; but this spoils the hay for a
considerable distance on all sides, be-
sides generally giving either too much
or too little circulation. The best plan
is not to postpone this matter until cold
weather approaches, but to look it up at
once and make such alterations as are
necessary, as time permits-a splendid
job for rainy days. In the accompany
ing illustration the principle is shown
to good advantage, which may of course
be varied as circumstances require. The
ventilator leading to the cupola is six
by eight inches with regulator at the
bottom, which brings it under perfect
control.
When this is not practicable the open
ing may be made in the wall at the up
