Points on Sirun Making.

Prof A. j. Cook is responsible for the
following points on making maple
sirup; Make only sirup, 1t brings
more money than sugar. Do not put
any sirup on the market that is not
first-class, This gives a ready market
for all sirup produced at gilt edged
prices. To do this use only tin buckets,
which, by use of the post spout, are
hung on the tree, are all covered by
pine boards one foot square, painted
white on one side and red on the other
for convenience in gathering, as the
covers are all turned bottom up at each
gathering. THESE covers keep all dirt,
snor, and rain out, and are indispensa-
bic to first-class success. Strain sap
three times from bucket to evaporation,
the strainers being successfully finer
and finer This secures the absolute neat
ness which No. l sirup requires
Strain the sirup as it passes hot from
the evaporation through the factory
cloth, then let it partially cool to allow
the lime to settle, then turn it at just
eleven pounds to the gallon into cans
and seal air tight.

REVOLVING FEED TROUGH.
No Well-Regulated Poultry Yard Should
BE without One.

Make two circular boards, three feet
in diameter, larger or smaller, accord
ing to the size of the flock, by giving
small boards round ends and sides as
required, and fasten together by cross
pieces Through the center of each
make an inch auger-hole. These circu-
lar boards are to be joined together,
six inches apart, by pieces of lath, two
inches apart, nailed from the edge of
one to that of the other. Before they
are joined, nail on the upper side of the
circular piece, that is to be the lower
part of the feeder, pieces of board on
edge to prevent the food from getting
into the feeder out of reach. For a
standard, halve together two pieces of
joist, and bore a hole in the center.
Into this hole fit a spindle or axle, an
old hoe or broom handle. Placing the
feeder on the standard, the spindle
through the hole in the center, the
feeder is ready for use. If a lit
tie more time were spent in the
construction, the top, or upper cir
cular part may be made in two pieces,
hung on hinges, to act as movable COW
ers. By this arrangement the food
might be placed in the feeder in the top
instead of at the side. This feeder
may be called distributor" for the
result of its working is to distribute the
food more equally, to give all chicks a
chance, and to prevent the stronger
gluttons from monopolizing the places
at the table" Large and small chicks
should not be fed together, but even
when they are graded some will get
more than their share. When a stout
cockerel thrusts his head into the
feeder and gorges himself, Others
crowd him, and this force against the
feeder causes 1t to revolve-to move
away from the sutherland another
PUSHES in and the operation is repeated.
This continues while the food lasts; the
food moves away from this one, and yet
is ready for the next; it compels the
chicks to take breath between bites,
and to take little more time in feed

more convenient to tie them, and less
Irvine is required, while the tops are in
better shape for picking. / remove
the old canes as soon as the
fruit is off, and tie the new ones to
the wire to prevent their being
twisted off by the wind. l am well
aware that large number of fruit
growers dispense with stakes or wires;
but after having used both for three
years, regard them as indispensable,
if one wants the crop to be the best. l

effects on the soil are not desirable,
and it also makes an excellent breeding
place for injurious insects. To keep
the soil moist, cool and rich each winter

the cultivator as soon in the spring as
the soil is in fit condition, and continue
its use until August. Blackberries re-
quire the same treatment if one wants

drought at fruiting time in the past
season, I noticed that the neglected
berries on the wild as well as the tame
bushes were drying up, while mine
were ripening nicely and in large guam

bad advice for growers in Ohio, for

the vines to winter-kill. 1 say, set
them on the highest land, and thus

ABOUT CREAMERIES.
Testing the Patrons MILK Essential to
Even Moderate Success.

Even Moderate Success.
Never in the history of thecreamery
business have SO many advances been
made, says the American Creamery, as
during the past year. The creamery is
fast climbing the ladder of perfection
and has already passed many of its
rungs. The milk testers which have
recently been brought out and decided
practical are doing more to revolution
ize the business than anything thus far
placed before the public. They will
make successful those creameries
which have been decided failures in the
past. Whole milk creameries have
bought milk by weight regardless of its
butter value and pooled it with the
neighbors, and all have been paid alike
for their milk. No test was made, 50
the butter value of the milk was never
known, and the same price was paid for
milk as was paid by neighboring cream
cries who received their milk from
good herds and paid for it according to
it's value. The patrons made money
and the creamery made not cent, in
fact lost ground every day, and event
ually shut down because there was no
money in the business. In localities
where the herds were of much better
class of stock, although some poor
herds were in the community, the
patrons owing to the good herds
were paid the same price as
those with poor herds. Occasionally
the milk is kept at home and churned
by the patron who owns the good herd
and he finds that he is not getting what
he should for the butter his milk con-
tains. He becomes dissatisfied and
| drops out. The man who owns the
poor herd is satisfied and stays in, and
with this class to deal with the cream
cry man finds hard sliding, as only
those with the poor herds will stay
with him. There is only one remedy
to apply to this crude state of affairs,
and that is to make a test of each
patrons milk and pay for it according
to its butter value. The patron who
feeds his stock well and keeps the best
strains should be rewarded for it, and
the patron who feeds his herd on
mullens and sorrel and shelters them
under the rail fence should also be
given only what his milk is worth
butter value. The milk test will dc
this and the patron who cares for hi,
cows, and keeps good ones, will be
paid well for it, while the poor, worth
less patron will have to drop out OF
"brace up" his herd and feed then
differently. No creameryman viii
hesitate minute after examining the
milk test in adopting it at once L
shows him the hap-hazard way he ha'
been doing business 1t shows that hi
is paying one what belongs to another
1t shows him that he is not paying the

he is entitled to, and that he is paying
the Indifferent patron money which be
longs to honest dairymen.

it as tightly as possible However long

QUEER FORMS OF INSANITY.
An Old Mans Mania for Perpetrating
Great Hoaxes.

An Old Mans Mania for Perpetrating
Great Hoaxes.
Not long ago an old man, looking like
rich retired merchant or banker,
walked into the office of one of the
foremost publishing houses of New
York and asked to see the head of the
firm. That gentleman recognized his
caller as man who twenty years ago
had been the junior member of great
Wall street firm. He also remembered
that the senior member had been one of
Lincoln's most trusted advisers in finan-
cial matters. The eX-banker said
you will remember that my partner,
who died about six months ago, was
very prominent during the civil war.
Every one in New York knows that
Lincoln many times sought his counsel.
Now, / have in my possession papers
and memoranda showing how very
much Lincoln was indebted to him.
This information is of deeply interest
ing, and, / might say of a startling char
acter. l thought, perhaps, we might
make some arrangements to write a
memoir. l feel certain that it would
pay, besides being fair tribute to my
friend and throwing much light on his
tory"
The ex-banker went on to tell that
he had proof that his partner drew the
original draft of the emancipation proc
lamation, besides doing many other
things of vital importance. The pub
Usher was delighted, and made arrange
bankers house on certain day and be-
gin work. The publisher talked with
the eX-banker for an hour or more and
they separated equally wcil-pleased,
At the appointed time the writer called
and began to discuss the Forthcoming
book. After some time the ex-banker
said:
There is one thing / have not yet
told you, and it is the most important
of all" His voice sank to a mysterious
whisper: my partner assassinated Mr..
Lincoln"
No" said the writer, drawing back
and looking at the ex-banker in an as,
tonlshed way.
Yes" said the ex-banker, ''he killed
him." And then he proceeded to re-
late wild and rambling story. The
writer questioned him and was soor
satisfied that he was stark mad. On all
other subjects he was perfectly sane
On this one of his partners connection
with the Lincoln administration he was

GOOD FARM FENCE.
One That Combines Strength, Neatness
and Complete Portability.

One That Combines Strength, Neatness
and Complete Portability.
Below | give description of what l
believe to be one of the best general
purpose farm fences, as it combines
strength, durability, neatness, cheap
ness and complete portability. 1t also
can be made either in the field on the
posts or in the shop or barn.
For common farm fence | would
make it four feet high, or for those who
wish cheap poultry fence I would
make it six feet high.
The cost would be about as follows
in this section of country:
20 pickets, %x2h ill.,, #. long. 10
strands single No IL wire... 100
Two-pointed lacks to staple over wires. 49,. 05
Posts u in iron, it. long per rod,..........05
Sag wire per Tod......,.......,....... .03
Total cost per rod Observation-Disclosures
The posts would put about twenty
feet apart.
Use only three strands of single wire
and weave the pickets in and staple
over every wire.
The fence is to be made in lengths of
five or ten rods, as would be most con-
venient, unless it is wished as per-
manent fence, when it can be made in
one continuous length.
The sag wire is only to be stapled to
about five piclzets near their lower ends
and the center carried up and hung
over the top of posts 1t should be
short enough to raise the center of
stretch between posts about two
inches.
The fence is fastened to posts by a
loop of wire wrapped on main wires
which the post passes through. The
post should extend little above the
center wire and should be driven into
the ground about eighteen inches.
AS poultry fence it will cost about
five cents per rod less than as a stock
fence.
There is no patent on this fence, so
any farmer can take advantage of this
and get good fence cheap.-Clarence
Walter, in Farm, Field and Stockman.

THE oils of the different kinds of
grain fed to dairy cows have very much
to do with the quality of the butter.
Cotton seed, while giving an increased
flow of milk rich in butter fat, makes
the butter greasy and sticky. Oats and
bran give good oils for butter, but the
best is the oil of corn. To the general
use of corn in feeding dairy cows in the
west is due to great extent the fine
