BARNS SHOULD HAVE GOOD LIGHT

One of the common faults of old barns.
and to some extent of many new ones. is
a lack of windows. Not, however. the
sliding pieces Of board, which have been
dignitied by the name of windows, but
which only let in light when they are
open, and which seldom close tightly
enough to keep out the wind and rain.
but glass windows, which answer all the
benehcent purposes for which such things
are made. Too many stables are com
paratlvely dark at midday, and toward
night become entirely So The dark
ness Is constant source of dissatisfaction
to the owner Of the stable, and to every
one who has to take care of the stock.
and 1t cannot be comfortable for the ami
mails. In coming from the light yard to
the dark stable, the cattle must feel IN
comfortable, and as dark rooms are pro-
nounced unhealthy for people, it is pos
slble that the influence of dark stables
upon the health of the cattle confined in
them is far from beneficial. Cattle like
the sunlight, and it will pay to have
windows enough in the barn to supply
all the light they need. The light viii

who take care Of them, and will be fully

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
SHIPPING EGGS.

a good way to pack choice eggs for
shipment is by taking a strong, neat
basket, large enough to amply accommo-
date one or more dozen, placing each egg
IN small pasteboard box, just large
enough to hold the egg The egg should
be wrapped with layer of cotton before
placing 1t IN the box. Excelsior, or fine,
soft hay, or even bran will answer in

be neatly and securely packed, filing up

POULTRY POINTS.

All farmers should keep pure bred
poultry; there is no economy or profit in
common barnyard stock. They eat no
more, and certainly a thinking farmer
prefers the blooded fowl and will keen it
and no other. A good farm should nat
urally demand good stock.
Put all tarred felt on the outside of tho
building, making the inside white and
clean by whitewashing. This will
answer two purposes-one shuts out the
cold, the other makes the GOODS bright
and cheerful, which makes the flock look

steamed and mixed with warm feed in
the morning. The hay is stored after
harvest each year.
A tattenlng coop should be awav from
the flock and roomy enough to accommo-
date the birds without crowdino. IF fed
on good sound wheat, oats, and bran
chop, two weeks should find them in er-
cellent condition for the table. A fowl
neatly dressed, entrails taken out. and
thoroughly washed, adds much TO IFS
attractiveness to the buyer. The price
should be the best for choice dressed
stock

FLEXIBLE CURRYCONB.

The currying of thin-sklnned horse
Is often an operation as trying to the
temper OF the groom as to thehide of the
animal, and considerable amount of
practical phllanthrophy is embodied in
such inventions as flexible currvcomb.
which has recently made its appearance.
This comb has a leather back and teeth
made of coppered wire. The points of
the teeth are rounded and flexible, and
thus, while etfectually cleaning the skin,
they obviate the excessive irritation suf-
fered by many horses. It is claimed that
by this construction all the good points
OF the sottest rubber combs and those
made with sharp teeth are combined, and
thus one comb will take the place of
two Chicago Neacs.

REMEDIES FOR BEE MOTHS.

E. B. Ravens asks if there is any way
to prevent moths from getting into bee
hives. There is no moth proof hive.
The best remedy or preventive is to
''keep all colonies strong," that they
may fight their own battle against the
moth, and destroy every moth, larva, or
chrysalis at sight. With the frequent
handling of movable combs, in the
various operations incident to the season,
worm IN any part of the hive can
readily be detected and disposed of, and
there is little excuse for allowing them
to become numerous. A knife or other
sharp-pointed instrument should be at
hand to administer speedy justice, as
everyone not destroyed soon becomes a
host. Combs taken from hives in which
bees have been wintered, and later in the
season, such spare combs as the moth
may have had access to, should be ex-
amlned, and if signs of its work are seen.
the combs should be placed in box and
subjected to the fumes of birthstone.
II, from any mishap or carelessness, a
stock becomes so overrun with worms
as to be in danger of destruction, the
bees should be removed and the hive and
contents thoroughly fumigated with
birthstone. If any brood should be
worth saving, let it be cut out and cared
for. The combs unfit for any purpose
should buried Or burned.-Farm, FTeN
and St0cknaan.

Holland is noted throughout Europe
as center for fine geese, ducks and tu.-
keys. They show keen perception of the
demands Of the market by producing
eggs and feathers, which bring better
profits the year round than market broil-
ers. Large flocks of from 1000 to
6OOO geese may be seen on some of the
best farms close to Amsterdam. The
farmer drives his geese to market several
miles distant, as we would flock of

Of eggs to each duck during the year has
been 157 eggs. This is en- average

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Two and three story barns are NUS
ance.
See that frost is excluded from your
cellar.
Too much water ends in bog or swale
grass.
If you want thin crop skim the
surface.
Grass to be permanent must have suffi-
cient moisture.
Fresh eggs are in demand these times.
Are you doing your share toward supply
ing the demand2
Trim your fruit trees so as to give
| free, open top, no two limbs touching or
crossing each other.
Farm products that excel in quality
and have an attractive appearance never
have to hunt market
Broadcast sowing of corn indicates
broadcast sowing of profits, which pro-
duce worthless harvest.
Keep an account with the hens this
year and see if it don't pay. Find out
whether it pays to keep them.
During the dormant days of winter
fruit trees will feel the effects of trim
ming less than at any other season.
The COW gets her exercise in gathering
food to fill her stomach. She is at rest
when she is doing her best in celebrating
milk.
Hen manure is no better than anv
other manure unless the food of the
hens contains valuable fertilizing elc-
ments.
If it does not pay to keep poultry on
the farm, change your management and
see II that does not produce better sup
ply of eggs.
Hortense Dudley says when Leghorns
arc cared for judiciously they may
doubtless be kept with profit until FIVE
years of age.
A lot of fat old hens and males, be
they old or young, will reduce the aver
age egg production per fowl wonder
fully. Reduce the number of these ia
the flock.
If you have no covered run for your
fowls, scrape the snow from the ground
south of the hen house or barn and give
them a path to it and see what they will
do on sunny day.
The export of evaporated apples last
year amounted to about twenty-five mil
lion pounds. This source Of our national
income will dwindle down to very
small figure this year.
Wood cutting naturally will be an oc-
cupatlon for those who have any cut it
IS far easier to cut and cord it before the
deep SHOWS fall. 1t can be hauled cat
more easily On sleds after a good snow
storm.
Fruit growers subjected to premature
spring thaws should allow the frost to
penetrate we'll into the ground and then
mulch their trees heavily. This Will
prevent the trees from thawing and start
Ing the buds prematurely. Remove the
mulch in early spring.
How much grain per day should
dozen chickens eat to do we'll and lay
W. G. D. That depends upon what
other feed they have. Our flock, which
has considerable range and good many
scraps, soft feed in the morning and
skim milk to drink, have good quart OF
grain to the dozen fowls, hail wheat ana

Advantages of Silk Underwear,

Silk gives SO it never shrinks, never can
shrink, and the travelling man who wrote
that he meant to use it because the hotel
laundries shrank his wool Nndershirts so
ne could not wear them was entirely level
headed. Silk shirts don't shrink; they
stretch by washing. so that they have to be
made small purposeiy to begin. This elias
ITCHY makes them very eesy TO get in and
out Of after being once washed. AT first
there is crispiness to the fabric, owing 10
its gummy nature, which softens when it
is warm on the skin and wholly disappears
after washing once. But you don't want
to put such fabric through laundries, for
scaldipg and boiling will ruin it.
All silk should be washed in lukewarm
water, with mild soap, and rinsed in clear
lukewarm water the same temperature. 1t
does not need the sealding which wool and
cotton require to get the sweat out. as old
wasaerwomen say, for it does not hold it
as they do. Consequently it has not the
rabid scent which common clothing will
acquire in warm weather when travelling
without baths. It is not pretty, true, but
it has all the other good qualities, and
every time it is washed it improves, taking
the clean, Witty look of nice crash, a whole
some look that wears vastly better than

The Prejudice Against Reporters.

The old time prejCdice against report
ers is fast passing away. The pencil and
notebook scribe now finds little difficulty
in gaining access to any and every house
in town. This is especially the case with
women reporters, who am now chosen
from class of people who would as soon
think of moral suicide as of violating a
confidence. Whatever is told them they
respect and only print that which is
actually intended for publication. Peo-
pie have found this out from experience
and they have gained confidence accord
ingly. But some of this reporting is ter
Tibly exacting work and difficult to man
age. For example, Miss Reporter goes
to see Mrs. Interview about forgery In
which her brother was implicated-not
actually guilty, you know, but drawn
into the case in questionable way, posi-
bly, receiving diamonds for his wife when
the world said no diamonds were due.
Now, I'll tell you confdentialIy, be-
gins Mrs. Interview.
NO, please don't tell me confdentially,
because shall want to give the newspa.
,ers fair account, and ! can't do it il
you bind me in this way"
well, you can say that those jewels
were promised long ago and were given
to nv sister-in-law because she was OF
service to Mrs. Blank when her last baby
was born. But please don't tell that"
