Then two pieces 2X4, 16 feet long, are
nailed to cross piece, 4X4 1215 inches

cage are two blocks nailed on, so as to
receive the 2x4, and serve as a guide for

end fastened to cage, which weighs 35

the other end, and rope SO adjusted on

great sheep feeding districts of England,
racks mounted on wheels are found use

the place Of foddering without too much
labor, more equally distributing the
manure and saving time in going to and
from the stacks. The aXles Of an old
carriage may be used to servo good

WinterinC Bees.

October is the best month in which to
prepare colonies for their long winter re-
pose. If short of stores they should be
given granulated syrup. If fed early
enough the bees will have this food put
into the combs and sealed over before
cold weather. For wintering an under
ground cellar is best, as the temperature
is even. 1t should be we'll ventilated,
should have few or no vegetables in it.
aud sawdust should be kept on the floor
to absorb the moisture. The hives ought
to be raised from the bottom boards at
least one inch to secure circulation OF
air. If the bees get uneasy the hives
should be lifted from the bottom boards
at least once week to prevent foul
odors from rising into the hive and caus-
ing disease. Field and Farm.

Cattle Hopes Lie in Good Cattle.

More plainly and still more plainly
from week to week is demonstrated the
fact that the great runs of cattle in the
West and elsewhere are pressing more
hardly upon every branch Of the cattle
business than the ripening of choice
beeves The men who are putting first
class cattle on the markets, while not
receiving the prices of few months
ago, are getting so near them that they
feel to only limited extent the pressure
of the heavy runs. 1t has always been
a point urged by The Stoclnlan that
beef production if it paid at all must
pay best and almost only where con-
Quoted with an eye to supplying the de-
mand for the highest quality of meats.
We hope that progressive beef-makcrs
when they read those columns will take
this oft-repeated lesson to heart, and de-
eide either to be in competition with the
best or to do something else. We see no
special hope in the future for the pro-
Queer Of inferior beef, while the man
who puts his brain into studying the
matter of furnishing prime beef to first
class markets is as much as almost any
other agricultural producer likely to be
paid for what he does. --NdtiOndL StOch-

horses. There are fourteen cows, two of
which are kept for rearing calves; eight
of the cows are pure llolStcnS. The

The figures are worth extended notice,
as there are several points which go to
show how the income might have been
increased with Il corresponding increase
of profit. The total income includes
gent for the farm at s.. so per acre and
interest on the value of the farm stock.

MILDEw may be removed by rubbing
common yellow soap on it, then salt and
starch over that; rub all in well and lay

A GOOD remedy for damp, moist
hands is four ounces of cologne water
and one-half once of tincture of belladon-
ma. Rub the hands with this several
times day.
A GOBLET of hot water taken just after
rising, before breakfast, has cured
thousands of indigestion, and no simple

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Making Bedding,

good many housekeepers seize the
interval before the house cleaning time
to make up bedding. Almost everyone
knows how to make a cheesecloth COM
Portable, than which nothing at the same
small expense is so pretty, light and de-
srabIe. But while great many may
know how to make one, they may not
know how to manage with the cotton, so
that it is nearly as light as elder down,
says an exchange. TO make q very
thick comfortable take five one-pound
rolls Of cotton batting, unroll it care
fully and hang on a clotheshOrse in front
of a register or hot fire. Let it get just
as hot as possible, taking care that it
does not burn. The heat separates the
minute tibres, causing the cotton to eX-
paud to nearly twice its original bulk.
Cut the cheesecloth into lengths of
about two and half yards each, two
widths being enough for each side.
Pink and baby blue make Il pretty com
bination. If the blue is to be taken for
the under side, spread it, after sewing to-
gether, very smoothly on q bed or some
other convenient place. Next lay the
cotton batting on Iengthwise, cutting it
the same length as the cheesecloth; it
will be found to be about the same width.
The next layer should go on crosswise,
the next lengthWise, and so on till all Is
used. Spread the pink cover very
smoothly over the whole and tuft it with
pink wOorsted, button-hOle stitching
around the edge with the same
Coverlets made of white cheesecloth
can be washed successfully if they are
dried quickly in bright sun and the
four corners of the quilt pinned to the
clothesline, spreading it out horizontally.

poultry and the Farm Boys. f,

How to keep the boy on the farm. We
will venture to assert that if each boy is
given a flock of fowls, if only Bantams,
and he alone have the management, and
the receipts,-a very important adjunct
the flock of fowls will cause the boy
to take an interest in farming from the
start. Let him become accustomed to
the breed and he will soon learn the
points of all breeds. And he will not
stop there. He will aim to know the
breeds CT cattle, sheep, horses and hogs.
He will look forward to the exhibitions
of the county fairs, and strive TO win
prizes. He will have a love for the
farm bred in him from the start, and
when he is man he will yearn for the
happy days spent on the farm, and will
go back to it if he can, should he be in
duced away. When one becomes in
terested in poultry on the farm he be-
comes educated to an interest in every
thing else AS soon as your boy can
manage them, give him a few Bantams,
and after he is older, start him with
some pure breed of standard size. 1t is
the best plan for teaching the boy to re-
main on the farm. mirror.

Clean Eggs.

One of the finest things tor poultry
man to learn, says the Toronto Globe, is
the fact that soied or dirty eggs should
never be sent to market. Many of the
eggs that come in are flthy-the shells
frequently stained with mud or manure.
FaStidious people-the only ones that
are willing to pay a fancy price-Will
never buy such eggs if they can help
it. Clean the eggs before they come to

Every newspaper wants to publish the
news. The better the paper the more pros
porous it will be. Local news items are
especially hard to run down. How many
times have you, dear reader, been approached
by the newspaper man for an item of news
and told him that You knew nothing Of any
interest. Probably at the time your family
were away on a visit or some one from out
Of town was visiting at your home. Of course
you didn't mean to deceive the scribe, yet
when you received the paper you wondered
why your family or friends were not men
toned. Agood way to avoid all Of this is to
kindly inform us of the facts or drop note
in the postofice to the paper. The one item
may not amount to very much, but three or
four columns of such news is the life of the
local paper. See?
