FEED TROUGH.

An Excellent Device for Feeding Chicks.
1t pays to have good, dry, comfort
able house for young chickens, whether
they are kept in broodcrs or under hens.
No brooder that stands outside in all
sorts of weather will keep little chicks
steadily warm and comfortable, though
a good one will do it, when placed in q
wea ather-proof building. Small chicks,
under the care of hens, do we'll enough
in common coops, set outside during
dry, warm weather; but q week of cold,
stormy weather invariably Injuries and
stunts them to greater or less extent.
They can not sit on wet ground or on a
wet floor, even under warm hen, night
after night, and remain healthy. Cheap,
make-shift coops can, by being placed
in building or under good shed, be
made to answer the purpose of protect
ing hen and her brood from cold, but
they are far inferior to well-made,
foored, vermin-proof coops A really
good outdoor coop should have tight
door, sides and roof, so that rain or snow
san not beat into it; be well-lighted,

POULTRY HOUSE.
1t is Good One and Can BE Built for
Sixty Dollars.


The ground plan is 20x20 feet A par
tition runs lengthwise four feet from
the back or north side of the house, cut
ting the building into two sections-4x
90 feet and 16x20 feet. The larger room
is then cut into two apartments, each 10
x16 feet. The partition should be tight
for or 8 feet from the grouhd, to pre-
vent the cocks fighting, and the same
in the yards. The house should have
gable roof Each roof should have
pitch of feet if covered with tarred
paper, and four feet If shingled. The
posts are s to 10 feet long, feet being
set in the ground. Four such posts (4x
~, one at each corner, are enough. The
sills, 2X6, are 1 foot from the ground,
up to which fill in with cobbles at the
bottom, then gravel and then sand.
This will let the water run off and keep
the floor dry. On these set the 2x4
studs four feet apart. On top of the
studs put the plate (2x4). The rafters
are boarded with cheap, square-edged
pine boards. If you wish to shingle and
clapboard, put tarred paper under both,
as it will stop all drafts should there be
any cracks, and make the house enough
warmer to pay. There is no danger of
making poultry house in this climate
too warm without artificial heat.
The house should face to the south
and have two windows in front and one
in the east end. The bottom of the
windows should rest on the sill. One
sash may be hung on hinges, making a
door opening into the yard, or two
sashes may work with weights. Each
apartment contains 16o square feet and
accommodates 30 fowls. There should
be small opening cut for the en-
trance of the fowls, with a slide door.
The nests consist of two boxes, each =
feet long, IA inches wide and is inches
deep, divided into eight parts. These
are placed along the partition inside
the sitting-room. To the edges of the
partitions which separate the nests tack
a cieat projecting over half an inch, and
the same distance from this toward the
middle of the partition tack another
narrow cleat. Put two like these on
the other edge, doing the same to each
partition. Then cut slides 11X12 inches
to slide down between the cleats. A
board six inches wide is nailed to each
side of the boxes on which the slides
rest, leaving an opening 11x12 inches
on each side of every nest, one opening
into the laying-room, the other into the
sitting-room. One of these is always
closed by means of slide. When the
hens are all laying the nests are kept
open toward the laying-room, but when
a hen becomes broody the door of the
nest she occupies is changed to the

Quantity and quality in MIX.

Quantity and quality are not neces-
sarily irreconcilable in milk, says the
Western Rural. Many Jersey cows with
large butter records are also noted as
large milkers-not large as compared
with Holsteins, but large for COWS that
put butter in their milk; but as rule
very rich butter cows are not great
mich cows. Nor is it desirable that
hey should be, where the object aimed
at is butter. In this case the smaller
the number of pounds of milk necessary
to make pound of butter the better for
the butter maker. By careful selection
and persistent breeding for that pur-
pose it is easily within the power of any
first-class breeder to establish two dis
tinct strains of Jerseys, one producing
q moderate or small quantity of milk
very rich in butter; the other giving a
copious flow (forty to sixty pounds at
fush) Of milk containing good per
cent. of butter. There are condi-
tions in which the larger mixers
would be more desirable, because more
profitable. But Jersey breeders in gem
eral will find their inta,est lies in breed
ing to increase the quantity of butter
without increasing the fow Of milk.

A FRUIT ROOM.
1t May BE Built in the Residence, for
Convenience.

1t May BE Built I'm the Residence, for
Convenience.
For the use of a private family fruit
room may be built in the residence; by
preference, in position as little eX-
posed to direct sunlight as practicable.
1t should have double walls, ceiling
and floor, with 'dead-air," or some
good non-conducting substance between,
and with double doors for ingress and
egress. Arrangements should also be
provided for the admission of cool air
from without, when the outer tempera-
ture is sufficiently low for the purpose;
also for the displacement of warm or
impure air above, when ventilation be-
comes desirable.
This arrangement will suffice, says a
writer in the Rural New Yorker, only
for slight or brief preservation of per-
ishable summer or autumn fruits. For
longer and more perfect preservation,
resort may be had to the use of ice, by
means of which, in room constructed
as above, a temperature but few de-
grees above the freezing point may be
readily maintained. and even the most
perishable fruits (if in sound condition
and not already over-ripe) can be held
nearly unchanged for an indefinite
period.
Experience has, however, shown that
there is an apparently unavoidable loss
of flavor and aroma, when perishable
fruits are thus retarded even while
maintained in an otherwise unchanged
condition.
Since the warmer air always rises
from expansion; when ice is used as the
refrigerating. material, it should always
be placed in the highest part of the
room, and means should be provided
for carrying the drip from it, as we'll as
all condensed moisture, from whatever
source, out of the room, passing it
through trap in the waste pipe, to
prevent the admission of warm air from
without.
My own arrangement for such pur-
pose has been nothing more than an
ordinary cupboard built within an ice
house, with an entrance from without
through double doors.

FEED-TRouGH FOR CHICKS.

well-ventilated, and easily cleaned out.
1t should rest on low runners, so that it
can easily be moved about A pane of
glass, six by eight inches, set in each
side, will admit light enough; an open
ing three inches square, at each end,
close under the roof, and covered with
wire-screen, will supply ven tilation.
Such coop, eighteen inches square,
with run of the same size attached, will
enable hen to keep fifteen chicks COM
Portable as long as they need a coop. If
they are well made, painted with min
eral paint and piled up under cover
when not in use, they will last life
time. 1t is not difficult matter to
make such coops, and a single brood of
chicks raised in one of them will pay
for half dozen.
Another thing that pays is a trough
to feed the young chickens in. Whether
they are kept in brooders or with hens,
feed-troughs, like the one illustrated
herewith, are almost Indispensable as
means of preventing diseases of the
mouth and throat. The base and CEN
ter-piece are inch board; the troughs on
each side are tin. Over the troughs are
wires, which pass through the center
piece, are bent downward and extend
over the troughs far enough to prevent
the chicks from getting into them. The
engraving shows the form of the
troughs so plainly that almost any one
can make them. After feeding, the
trough should be rinsed out and kept
perfectly clean, which is an easy mat
ter if attended to daily.-America Ag-

shorthorns for MIX or Reef

The handsomest and most snowy form
for Shorthorn COW includes broad as
we'll as deep chest full crops, fore ribs
so round as to leave no depression be-
hind the shoulders; straight line
along the back to end OF the rump;
wide between the buckle bones, and
wetl-developed quarters. This is the
best shape for making beef. For milk
the chest should be deeper and not so
broad, fore ribs rather fiat and long,
crops less full than for beef, and the
quarters quite broad, so that in looking
at her in front her body will appear de-
cidedly wedge-shaped, the larger end to
the rear. But even thus formed, when
dried Off q Shorthorn COW will fatten
quickly and cheaply, and make a good
carcass of fine quality of beef. Occa-
sionally one of beef shape-that is,
about as full in front as rear, and rath-
er fat-proves a greatmilker of a highly
excellent quality, like some Holstein-
Friesians. Many of the latter seem to
have changed their nature in America,
yielding richer milk generally than in
Holland, and yet of very abundant
quantity. No doubt this change is
owing to the difference of CLIMATE and
quality of food.
The summers in Holland are cool and
wet and in Northern America compara-
lively hot and dry, with drier and more
frosty winters, and the grass of our
meadows is less rank and succulent.
These have much Influence in giving
quantity and quality to milk and also
in tho formation. .of flash Still tho
difference in breeds of cattle is para
mount, and the animals should be
chosen from such as excel in what is
most desired by the breeder to produce.
