In the second cut is shown a spud,
which is described by another Ohio Farm
er correspondent who has used it for 10
years to destroy burdocks. His farm was
overrun with that pest when he came IN
possession, but now they are nearly wiped
out By cutting them off below the
crown they never sprout. He hadaspud
made at that time in the following man
ner: He got a broken crosscut saw plate,
took it to a blacksmith, had it cut about
IS inches long and cut tapering, the top
of plate cut square across, and thepoint-
ed end cut a little rounding, as shown IN
Fig. 1. Then he punched two 4-lnch
holes. the first one about one inch from
upper end of spud and the other two or
three inches below, according to the
length of spud. Then he made it a little

Peas are an excellent food for Elilch
cows OF for hogs. Take a piece of fall
blowing and harrow it well to make a
good seed bed. Sow broadcast p bush
els of the small Canada peas or three
bushels Of marrow fats and plow under
four or five inches. The pea is a
deep rooted plant and should be put
well down. Sow on top Of the ground
one bushel of oats to hold the peas
mp. For hogs they come in as a green
forage after clover and may be cut with
a scvthe and thrown into them or a
movable fence may be put around a
small portion of the field. Good success
has been obtained by putting the peas
and oats in the silo, or they may be cut
and cured, thrashed and ground into
meal. Try two or three acres as an ex-
pertinent this spring, advises The Amer
lean Agriculturist.

A CHEAP AND CONVENIENT HENHoUsE.
fOby 10 feet would be needed. The yards
should be 10 times larger than the houses;
hence for 10 hens the house should be 10
by 10 feet and the yard 10 by 100 feet,
though the yard may be Of any preferred
shape and may contain more space, but
should not be less than the area men
toned. The nearer to the square form
the cheaper the cost Of the house in pro-
portion to the space secured.
A very convenient poultry house for
small flock may be built Of yellow pine
boards, rabbeted (barn boards, nailed up
and down to by pieces, the house to
be 10 feet square, 8 feet high in front and
6 at the rear, with large window on the
front (Which should face the south or
southeast), and a small sash on each end
near the front, the door to be on the
west end or side. The small windows
should open so as to allow ventilation
according to the direction of the wind,
a top ventilator often causing drafts
down on the fowls. The roof may be Of
tarred felt or other suitable material, and
in a cold climate the house may be COW
cred entirely with tarred felt, fastened
with strips.
The same house may be double for
two focks, if preferred, with a door III
the center or at one end. If it be raised
18 inches from the ground, the hens will
find much comfort underneath in Win
ter. The cost of the double henhouse
need not exceed S45 for one 10 by 20 feet,
but much will depend upon the local
prices for materials and labor. The
space underneath may be protected by
boards to break the wind. If the house
is low on the ground, cement floors are
best, as they protect against rats, but
they must be covered with an inch OF
dry earth, with cut straw over 1t, or
thev will be cold. II raised up, the best
floor is of tongue and groove boards.
The nests should be movable; hence
soap boxes are excellent.
The roost should be a piece of 8 by 4
scantling, slightly rounded on the edges,
and it should reach across the rear OF
the house about two feet from the floor.
For 10 hens four nests are sufficient,
two at each end Of the house. Yhe wa
ter fountain may be placed at Amy con-
venient point. Feed troughs should not
be used if they can be avoided, ,las it is
best to compel the hens to scratch for
all they receive. Keep the midd Of

The arrangements for small poultry

Owing to individual preferences and
the amount of capital to be invested in a

rhe Delnnd Tootball TrIeI,s.

The main interest in the tactics of foot
ball in the coming season centers about the
Deland tricks, in which Harvard support
ers place such trust. OF these, the now eel
ebrated flying wedge is the only one that is
generally'understood, In the tackle wedge
and the one or two nameless tricks that
were publicly attempted last fall the play
ers were so closely punched that it was inn
possible to make out their working exact
ly. The use of the tricks was sparing,
moreover, because, though they had sue
ceeded repeatedly when tried by the Har-
ward team against its second eleven, and
even in some cases when tried by the second
against the first eleven, it was feared that
they could not be safely worked against
Yale. This year their reputation is estab-
lished MI. Deland is known to have tab
ulated over GO plays, each with its counter
play, and he has already spent much time
in teaching them to the Harvard eleven, so

The late Frederic Splitter, a native of vi
emma, was entirely the architect Of his own
fortunes and conquered his unique posi-
tion in the art world of Paris and the con
tinent generally by his surprising energy,
boldness and power Of self education, and
by a peculiar quality, too, that can only be
described as le tlair-that instinct which
enables the connoisseur to distinguish not
only the good from the Indifferent, but
what is supremely fine from what is merely
very good. Establishing himself in Paris
in or about 1852 as a dealer in these special
branches and achieving a success and a su.
premacy among his confreres which was
ungrudgingly acknowledged, he, by de
grees, as his wealth grew and with it his
honorable ambition, formed the design OF
.bringing together not a mere collection OF
splendid objects Of vertu, but veritabls
museum Of decorative, applied and indus
trial arts generally, beginning with the
earliest postclassical periods Of the Byzan-
tine and Romanesque styles on the one
hand and ending with the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries on the other.
This museum the late collector continued
to add to and to complete with infinite la
Dor and skin during the whole of the latter
part of his career, wedding out things less
than first rate, but not otherwise impairiug
its integrity, his object being that after his
death it should be disposed of as a whole to
the Louvre or, as an alternative, to some
other great museum, continental or Brit
ish, so as to preserve unimpaired its inter
est as a resume Of the finest industrial art.
This plan, for the achievement Of which
Mr.. Splitter always declared himself pre-
pared to make the most important pecuni.
airy sacrifices, has unfortunately proved
impossible of achievement at the present
momsnt- Paris Issster.

INTERIOR ARRANGEMENT OF THE HEN
HOUSE.
The rule in regard to the cost of a plain
house is to allow $50 for so hens, or 81
per hen. The decimal system will serve
to remind the reader by allowing 81 as
the cost of food per year for hen, 81
for her share of the building, about 81
profit per year, 10 square feet Of room
in the house and 100 square feet Of space
in the yard. A cheap and convenient

THE TEACHERS.
They Should Not Weary In Well
Doing.

The District State Teachers Asso-,
Citations held during the holidays pres
ented admirable programs but failed
to attract the usual attendance. The
ordinary explanation of this would be
that teachers are to heavily taxed in
this direction, being called upon to
sacrifice too much of their time to
educational gatherings. Aside from
the owners duties attacking To-
the annual institute. there
are the county district, and state asso-
CITATIONS claiming their attention, and
demanding a greater sacrifice than
they are in position 10 make. This
may be true in part, but we are in
clined to look for other causes. There
was noticeable absence OF leading
teachers, the rank and file being fair
" represented, and it may be endiller-
enee on the part of the favored has
its influence, Kirksville was an excep-
ton however to this objection. The
splendid lectures OF DR.. Greene, pres
iaent Of VIM. Jewell College, DR.. Cor
don acting president of Westminster
College. Prof. Anthony Haynes of
Cooper Institute Boonville, and Col.
\. F. Fleet Of Mexico would have
awakened the most indifferent and in
creased the professional zeal OF the
most ambitious.
1t is hoped that our friends
the teachers. will not tire in
well doing" In due tine they will
reap if they faint not. They should
determine to make good this apparent
loss by largely increasing the attend
ance OF Pertle Springs next summer.

looking man entered a New York
street car, and accidentally trod on
the toes of big six-footer. He apol-

fed. He talked for some time. and
finally invited the little man to leave

ment, the latter accepted. Those who
witnessed the contest say that il didn't
