The Land of the Rising Sun.

A native japanese, Reverend and Honor
able F. Tukushima, lectured in the NJ, E.
Church on last Tuesday night on the man
ners and customs of Japan. An enormous
audience packed the church to suffocation.
The speaker said he was here to study our
civilization, laws and society. While he
finds much to admire here, he evidently be-
lieves in his own country. He said he
thinks New Japan will combine in its gov
ernmeut all that is good in all the govern
ments OF to-day.
Although educated il Japan Mr.. Tuku-
SHIN is a fluent speaker of the English lang
uage. He makes a splendid impression on
his audience, being 4 superior man, witty,
logical, eloquent aud graceful. He will be

Draining the Poultry Yard.

A poultry yard should be placed upon
sandy soil which drains itself naturally,
but if this is not feasible throw several
loads Of sand and gravel around the
house. Last fall | had the hard coal
ashes emptied in my yard: it not only
formed a firm and dry walk, but the
cinders furnished the fowls with grind
ing material for their crops. Charcoal
sifted from wood ashes should also be
supplied them, and broken oyster shells.
ground bone, or some other shell forming
materials. a long shed closed toward
the north and west is better place for
feeding fowls in winter than the house
in which they roost, as greater ceani-
ness can thus be obtained, and the fowls
are induced to take more exercise. Even
in the very coolest weather they should
not be allowed to remain all day upon
their perches.-Miss II. G. Dudley.

The more sunlight in the COW stable the

Some of our learned scientific experts
are discussing the question Of how fat
gets into milk. 1t does not matter how
it gets there so there is only enough Of
it, and if cows can be bred that produce
4 per cent. regularly we are not going to
quarrel with them about how they got
it. We know they did not steal it.
It is claimed that the flesh of poultry
and animals killed by electricity has "a
superior favor TO that slaughtered in the
ordinary way. But the experiment has
certainly not been sufficiently tried yet.
1t is a matter which might be tested, as
it would be an easier way of taking the
lives of food animals than by the ordi-
nary processes.
"Hogging down" crop is sometimes
an excellent rhing for a poor field, and
rye is one of the best crops for this pur-
pose. Put the hogs on the rye field as

Arrangement of Floor and Watering
Trough at Wisconsin Experiment Farm.
L. H. Adams, superintendent OF the
experiment farm, made the following
report on the arrangement of the stable
and methods Of tying, at one of the
Wisconsin farmers institutes. He said:
eve have had experience in several
methods of tying, at the station, but
none have given such success as the
stanchion. There are opponents to this
system Of fastening cattle, but, all things
considered, | know Of nothing to replace
the stanchions with at the present time.
The floor represented in tho diagram Is
the same as the one in use at the expert
ment station farm, and has been for
three years. In putting this floor into
our stable we took out a plank floor
with 4-inch drop behind the cows; 1t
was unsatisfactory Our cows would
get dirty in spite Of liberal bedding.
This matter Of bedding is point that
we must spend thought upon if we wish
to cut down the expenses of dairying.
With the floor represented here there is
no absolute necessity of using bedding
for the sake OF cleanliness. There has
not been fOrkful of straw litter of any
kind put on that floor In three years
time, and there is not tag of manure
on the flank of one Of the cattle.
"rhis floor is six feet wide, and we can
drive right in with team and wagon
and load the manure from the cutters
on either side directly into the wagon.
This floor that the animal stands upon is
about ffty-lour inches wide. This water
ing trough is made of two planks, one ten
inches wide and the other twelve. spiked
together, and the bottom of the trough
is on a level with the floor on which the
cattle stand. The trough has an incline

FEEDING COTTON SEED HULLS.
Their valuo to the Dairyman as Cow
Feed.

Their Value to the Dairyman as Cow
Feed.
For the benefit of those so situated as
to be able to get cotton seed hulls, will
give something OF my experience in feed
ing them for the past two years:
About 1898 saw them fed on large
scale by Mr.. Albert Montgomery, of
New Orleans. He was feeding about
600 Texas steers on hulls and meal alone,
and finer lot of cattle l never saw.
Two years ago, when l engaged in
dairying here, found hulls much the
cheapest and most available rough feed
obtainabe. | fed it in combination
with wheat bran and cotton seed meal
all winter, with most satisfactory re-
suits, although was forced to keep my
cows up in small lot without pasturaye
Of any kind. About the middle of April,
when grass was putting out nicely, the
mills closed down and [ could get no
more hulls. In spite of an increased
grain feed and the abundant young
grass, the cows went down considerably
in milk. AT no time during the summer
of 1890 did Bermuda pasture and bran
and cotton seed meal give as good results
as did hulls with these latter foods in
winter.
/ have continued to feed bulls ever
since with increased satisfaction. am
confident they are worth more, pound
for pound, than Bermuda, Timothy or
any other grass hay. the ease with
which they can be handled and fed
counts for something. can prepare u
feed "a mixture of six pounds Of hulls,
two pounds of bran and two pounds of
cotton seed meaD for thirty cows in fiji
teen minutes. the feed stuff being in
one corner Of the barn. | have never
fed anything that cows will eat up so
clean.
/ am well aware that most scientific
writers Go not accord to cotton seed huils
the high place in the scale of our feed
stutTS that DO. They argue that hulls
possess "a worry low degree of digestibili-
ty and are valuable simply as a means
of filing mp the cows stomach. But
perhaps these opinions are based more
upon u chemical analysis than upon an
actual feeding trial. | am inclined to
think the cows stomach is the labora-
tory in which the conclusive test should
be mlde.-W. c. Wclborn in Southern

Here in Colorado, where there Is an
abundant honey flow, where the bees
can work eight months out Of the year
and gather the finest honey in the world,
every farmc. should have few stands
of bees. The product of these little
workers. Is almost clear profit to the
farmer, for the bees require no more at
tenrion than can be given by the farm
wife. The only time that bees interfere
with the farm work is during the hay
ing AID harvesting ,ime, when the honey
flow is at lts height, but with little
folethought one can easily prevent even
this Interference. At other times of the
year the bees demand the attention of
the farmer only at such times when he
can easily Afford the tiuo.
From forty colonies of bees on the
farm it is a common occurrence TO re-
ceive more profit than from any one
product raised, and during depressed
periods this industry certainly comes in
as timely relief Tie bee industry has
not yet had Us serious setback, and SO
fur no signs at any such disaster can be
detected, Heekeeping isan industry that
ran be easily learned a standard bool;
and IA few Colonies of bees for the first

Homemade Fertilizers.

Whether farmer should buy the raw
materials and make his own fertilizers
by doing the mixing on his own farm
is question that each individual farmer
ought to be a ole to best determine for
himself. There aye considerations, how
ever, that should be taken into account
in coming to conclusion on the sub
ject. First, the quantity required should
be large enough to make it an object to
save the ascertAined difference IN the
cost OF the materials when bought
sinsly, and when bought from reliable
manufacturers mixed ready for use.
Again, if ths attempt is made 10 dis
ponse III whole or in part with some
one or more of the ingredients of COM
plete fertilizer on the score of economy,
tins can only be done by such as have
through previous experiments ascer-
tanned with considerable accuracy the
requirements Of particular crops on GER
tain soils This viii be found the most
difficult part Of the business, for there
are large numbers of farmers who do
not know what their different fields re-
quire, and who are not likely TO spend
time ana money IN finding out Hence,
III making or buying fertilizers it viii
usually be found best to use such as are
prepared for general application rather
than for special soils, The saving from
home mixing will depend on the prices
which sellers of ready mixed fertilizers
are willing to take, and the cost of fer
tilizing chemicals delivered as near the
farm as the mixed goods can be bought.

FLOOR AND WATERING TROUGH IN STABLE.
of one inch to every twenty feet, which
is sufficient to carry the water entering
this end to the other. There is an out
let at the other end to which the water
runs after the cattle have finished drink
ing. Feed is given to the animals in
this same trough. The drop is twelve
inches from the Stats down TO the bot
tom. Whatever urine is on this floor
goes right through and is taken up with
an absorbent that is thrown between the
joists which support this floor. The
solid part of the eXcrement is left along
in this drop. y COW in urinaiing will
drop the water farther forward than she
will the solid part OF the manure, so
that in cleaning out it is not difficult if
the manure is out here.
"For an absorbent we use horse manure.
The horse stands over the cows and the
manure is pushed through hole daily
down into the basement stable where
the COWS stand, and distributed along
these cutters, and it takes up the liquid
and keeps the manure of the farm al!
together where it goes out. If, as have
explained, the urine passes through
these Stats, you can readily see how the
COW lies down on a dry floor"
When questioned on the use of bedding
Mr.. Adams said he would prefer to have
the cows bedded where there was the
material for it, but many dairymen
utilize the waste products of the farm
so closely that they do not have material
for bedding
