A TROUGH THAT PREVENTS CRoWDINd.

A TROUGH THAT PREVENTS CRowDING.
A merciful act at slaughtering time IS
to stun the victim before bleeding with
a blow between the eyes, trihe above
the direct line. 1t also facilitates stick
ing. If the scald water is not hot
enough at butchering time drop in few
bricks or stones superheated. This IS
al old and good way. A hog hanger at
killing time for the porkers Is sometimes
a mueller on a small farm where only
few swine are fattened and the owner
does the work himself. Seven II
foot poles that are stocIy should be cut
in the woods and hauled up beforehand,
TO be convenient, these are bound to-
eether as shown in the third cut, the
feet of the uprights being imbedded IN
the soil an inch or two If the upper
crossbeam is not high enough the spread
NAV be lessened and the height thus in
creased at once with little trouble.
When it is desired to lower the pork for
cutting up the act may be reversed, II
the binding cords are not too tight.
The pig ought to be a prominent fac
tor in the winter dairy business. The
maker of butter or cheese can just as
well keep two to twenty brood sows
and get two litters yearly to sell at SIX to
eight weeks old. In this way large pay
NAV be got for the slrimmilk or whey,
and bought foods will make the farm
richer for the cows.

THE GREAT AMERICAN

rha Poaftion Occupied by Indian Cor
in the Agriculture OF the United states'ss
Indian corn occupies the leading posi- i
tion in the agriculture Of the United
states. both as regards the volume pro
duced annually and the area under cul-
tivation. It is also the most widely dis
tributed crop. being grown to more or
less extent in every state and territory
and almost in every county in which ag-
riculfure is carried on. As stated IN a
oovernment report, taking the eleven
cotton states rs a whsle, these devote
LARGER area Of their cultivated land to
corn than to cotton. The great wheat
balfof the Ohio and Missouri valleys
nives corn a more prominent position
than that occupied by wheat itself Ia
measured quantity our crop OF a Single

civilized world, and no other grain crop
annroaehes it in volume About SO per;
cent. Of our crop is annually consume Z
in this country, and more than 80 per
cent never crosses the lines of the oun-
tv in which it is grown. 1t Is the5 great
American crop. ~

Cornwall had the good fortune to strike
a kind of urn and scatter number OF
coins. which on examination proved to
be Roman, many of them Of the time OF
the first emperor. Thsy were Of various
sizes. and generally in state Of good

1000 Of them, and, as he was ignorant
Of their value, disposed Of them at a

Seven Years Experience with siIOs.

John Gould, a progressive farmer,
who is now feeding silage for the sew
enth winter, was asked not long since at
a farmers institute if he thought silos
are losing ground in the public estima-

experience warranted him in saying that
he was most thoroughly convinced of
the necessity for silage and instead Of
the system losing ground the silO was
rapidly increasing its number of enthu-
siastic advocates in Ohio.

4 Suggestion as to Pie Crust.

To prevent that unpalatable and dyspep-
tic condition of pie crust which results
from such soft filings as custard and
pumpkin sinking into the crust, it is best
partly to bake the lower crust first. If it
is well prlcked with a fork and has the
white of an egg turned over it, it will then
be tender, crisp and with an even surface.
The white of one egg may be used for sew
eral pies, and the pricking with fork will
prevent the crust from rising in bubbles.
Those who make puff paste often bake a
number of shells and add the filing as
they are needed. Some famous cooks use
ice water for mixing the paste; others add
the yolk or the white of an egg.-New
York Post.

How Negroes Catch o scorpion

In Jamaica the negroes believe that
scorpions know tneir name; SO they
never call out, "See, a scorpion" when
they meet with one on the ground or
wall, for fear of his escaping. They
thus indirectly recognize the scorpions

you wish to stop a scorpion in his

Gaa Lime.

An English agriculturist writes thus
about gas lime:
The best way of applying gas lime IS
from four to six carloads per acre be-
fore plowing for roots and cabbages.
| followed this system many years and
found / grew good clean roots, free
from grub, and the corn crops following
almost free from wireworm. l have
tried dressing with four carloads per
acre Immediately before plowing, for
wheat and oats, but found it always did
injury more or less to the corn.
