er's Gazette as follows:
In the illustration showing its attach
ment to a single stall Gig. y the hori-
zontal bar B. which is placed some eight
feet from the floor to be out of the way,
runs the whole length of each row of
stalls. 1t is of wood. dressed smooth, and
9 by 8 inches square. It rests in wooden
brackets secured to the outside Tor alley
side) of the posts, and in which it can
slide freely. It is moved back and forth
by the means of the lever A. A few inches
from each post a common sash cord, C, is
attached to the bar at one end. and pass
ing over a common small pulley securedto
the post, as shown in the illustration, it
hangs by the side of the post and termi-
mates in a heavy iron pin a foot or more
long made of half inch round iron. This
pin passes through two pieces of gas pipe
which are secured to the side of the stall
by heavy staples. This part of the de-
vice is best shown in Fig. 2. The two
pieces of pipe are about three-fourths of
an inch apart. The chain E, which is
secured to the stall at one end and has
the other end free. is Slipped through the
ring in the neck strap on the animal, and
the terminal link is put into the opening

and the animal is securely fastened.
An entire row Of cattle thus securedis
released in an instant by simply moving
the lever A a few inches. which in NOV
ing the bar raises the pins, the chains
drop, and all the cattle are loose at once.
To prevent the cord being pulled by the
horns it is covered as far as the horns
can reach by a piece of wood provided
with a groove through which it slides.
This could be improved by making the
upper piece of gas pipe longer and the
pin correspondingly longer also, which
is necessary since the eye to which the
cord is tied is too large to slip inside the
pipe. When the cattle stand in the same
stall, the chains can of course not be
stretched across the stall, but must have
both ends fastened to the same partition
or post, as in Fig. 2. The chains for sin

Other Peoples Yellow Dogs. That Ia. hut

About two miles from n certain town
in this state is u farmer whoowns Il flock
Of very fine Cotswold sheep. In the said
town lives Il gentleman who is quite Il
"sport' and owns a varied assortment of
fighting. hunting and other dogs, all of
which are very fond of raw lamb chops
and leg of mutton. Ono day the farmer
met the sport" on the road, and greet
ing him pleasantly remarked:
"Jenks, your dogs and my sheep seem
to be getting mighty friendly Of late. !
believe they lie down together in my
pasture every night-my sheep inside Of
your dogs"

closing one eye and cooking the other.
II do" said the farmer. stroking his
beard thoughtfully.
Well" chippered jerks cheerfully,
my dogs allus was noted for their
friendly disposition an hospitality. In
that respect they're jest like myself. l
won't charge your sheep anything for,
storage, lodging or entertainment! Get
up, Dolly" And now they don't speak
as they pass by.
Isn't it a little singular that the farm
er is compelled by law to put a fence
about his sheep and keep them ON his
W land, while the dogs of such chaps
as jerks are allowed by law to roam ut
large day and night? But as the farm
ers who raise sheep are vastly outnum-
bered by the farmers who raise dogs and
whose sentiments are, THE man wot
kicks my dog kicks met" it's not likely
that any law abridging the privilege of
the %sanguinary cur to wander abroad at
his own sweet will and devour the gen.
tie lambkin will be enacted very soon.
"Ihave a piece of woodland over there
that would make splendid sheep pasture
if I could use it for that purpose" said a
farmer to me II day.
"And why can't you use it," l asked.
"Two many mean dogs prowling
around. They'd eat up a flock of sheep
in less than a week"
And when I called at his home two
fierce dogs came forth and threatened to
rend me in twain: They were his own
especial pets.
Driving up to the house of another
farmer who keeps a flock of sheep, l was
greeted by three tough looking mongrels.
"You are we'll supplied with dogs,"1
said as he came out and heaved q cudgel
at them.
"Yaas," he drawled, II am just now.
But only one of them belongs to me.
That big one is Ben's, and that brown
cuss is one I gave away about a month
ago, but he's found the way back. I'll
have to write to the man l gave him to,
or give him to somebody else. He's no
account only to bark at people and eat
eggs!"
81 should think you would be afraid
they'd get after your Sheep"
"Oh, there's no danger. They're used
to 'em. Dogs are O half so bad on
sheep as some people try to make US be-
lieve."
AT the proper time, however, he pre-
sented a bill ''for four sheep killed by
dogs" and l suppose it was duly al
lowed.-Fred Grundy in Rural New

Hives OF the habitations in which bees
live and work have been made Of differ
ent materials and i'll different forms. &C
cordins to the fancy of people of differ
ent ages and countries. Melissus. king
OF Crete. is said to be the first who in
vented and taught the use of beehives.
Surplus honey when taken from the
hives should be stored in an airy. warm
room, so that it can cure put and grow
better instead Of deteriora,lng. The GUS
tom of storing honey in a cool cellar is
now condemned by all progressive apa-
rlsts. for the dampness arising in such
places causes the honey to sweat and be-
come thin, so that the quality and flavor
are much injured. If the larvae of the
wax moth trouble the comb honey while
stored in the warm room. fumiga1e bv
burning sulphur or birthstone in the
room.
II after swarms of bees keep coming
against the wishes Of the apiarist, the
best course to pursue is, While the swarm
IS out. to go to the hive. open it and cut
ont all the queen cells. To make sure
none Is missed shake what bees there are
on the combs off in front Of the hive. when
each comb is to be carefully inspected,
looking in every corner of the hive and
about all irregular places in the combs.
After this has been done and the hive
arranged as it was before, return the
bees to the hive and restassured no more
trouble will be had, as it is a rare thing
that bees send out after swarms unless
queens are held in their cells.
Bees are cross sometimes, and cross
bees often sting. Some classes Of stinss
are unavoidable. \ bee may become so
Infatuated as to strike without warning
and stings as it strikes. However, bees
must be badly provoked to do this and
never do so only as the object of their
disturbance is lear their hive.
Some seem to think bees are roaming
around only bent on singing everything
far and near. This is not so, for a bee
seldom ventures an attack 10 rods from
its hive, and never then unless its hive
has been molested. Besides the una
voidable class of stings, caused as above,
the novice is apt to receive many more by
his way of provoking bees. If a bee hay
ing an inquiring mind comes looking
around the head and face of such a per
son, the first thing he does is to begin
striking att, which only tends to irritate
the bee. Every makes the matter
worse, for the bee would soon go awayif
no attention was paid to it. Shrieking,
beating the air and tearing %insanely
about. as many do, are only so many
steps leading t melancholy and almost
certain result. When such a bee comes
near, instead of doing as before, gently
incline the rim Of the hat toward it, and
if it still persists in buzzing about the
head put u pthe hands before the face and
walk quietly away from near the hive,
when the bee will soon leave you.-G.

Live Stock Points.

Boiled down, the latest knowledge
about breeds of chickens is this: If you
want fowls for eggs only, get Rose Comb
Leghorns. Any Leghorns are good layers,
but the hideous, wabbling, binding flap
pers of the single combs freeze in a cold
climate and are enough to give q nerv-
GUS person st. Vitus' dance besides. If
you want to raise market fowls for
broilers and roasters, get Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes. For a heavy,
general purpose bird, the Light Brahma
is the breed. So says a poultry expert.
Where cattle are housed in a warm
stable at night and turned out upon snow
and ice on a freezing day they take cold
and get pneumonia and consumption
precisely as human cattle would do if
treated in a similar way.

A farmer finds that skimmilk is worth
30 cents a hundred pounds when used to
produce pork ut present prices.
A hog breeder has observed that sows
never eat their young at the time of year
when green food is plenty. When green
fodder is scarce, it can be replaced by
turnips and the various kinds of root
crops.
Professor Stewart believes in cooking
food for hogs. He says: "By good man
agement the general feeder may reach
with raw corn 8 pounds, with raw meal
10 pounds, with boiled corr 10 pounds
and with boiled meal Is pounds Of live
pork per bushel." But many other doc
tors doubt whether cooking hog feed
pays. Let every mar try it and decide
for himself.
In wet seasons tho flow of milk is

FIG. TIE FOR DOUBLE STALLS

= 3AL 10n DOOoAE S1AA1Ss
gle stalls should be a few inches longer
than the stall is wide in order that they
may sag some eight or nine inches, which
gives the animals still greater freedom.
Each animal must of course be fastened
by itself, but it can be done from the
alley in front, which allows Of more
rapid work than when the stalls are
entered. All things considered, l know
of no cattle tie which offers the same
advantages. The cattle are released
instantaneously, which saves much time
in handling them; they are securely
fastened, and withal they have as much
freedom and comfort as it is possible to
give them and still keep them tied. The
materials are cheap and can be had any
where. They should not be over Is or 80
cents per head, and the device is so simple
that any n who is handy with tools
can put it I'M.

Occult SPAWN.

When a horse suffers from an occult
SPAWN, the lameness thereby occasioned
shows peculiarities of a pronounced type,
so that, as a rule, there is but little diff
Guilty in diagnosing the ailment. There
is imperfect fexion Of tho hook, and tho
toe is dragged somewhat, and the shoe
will be worn at the toe. There will
usually be observed a certain finching
when turning suddenly o. when being
moved quickly from one side of the stall
to the other. Exercise causes improve
ment, but the animal if allowed to stand
tor some time manifests the same symp-
toms again and generally in an increased
degree.-American Cultivator.

Feeding Cattle to Fatten.

After once commencing to feed cattle
to fatten, the work should be pushed
along as rapidly as possible, for this is
the only course by which the best results
are possible. 1t is only by securing the
best market price that cattle feeding can
be made profitable, and this implies hav-
ing a good grade of steers to begin with
and then feeding so as to result in the
best condition possible.

Finding Money Where He Lost 1t.

That able thinker and writer, Azure
Illus, speaks thus of the trotting horse
breeding industry: II believe in one
gamblers maxim at least. and that is to
look for my money where I lost it. To
me breeding has been a pleasure and a
source of profit, and I would have to
lose several more mares before the breed
ing industry would owe me anything.
I said, more in sorrow than in malice,
last year that trotting horse breeding
was a sick industry. Between depreci-
alton of price and losses by death a
severe strain is put on ones fidelity, but
l have faith that there is still plenty of
money in the business for those who
have the patience to wait, the wisdom
to learn and the courage to sacrifice
dead wood"

mai only when convenient, as Is me

That only when convenient, as IS the
common practice-if the followingm meth.
cd be pursued the great loss of mules by
colo now experienced by Mississippi
planters would be reduced at least three.
fourths: The mule should be waterel
and then fed at least one hour before 90.
ing to work in the morning. In themil.
die of a long forenoon he should again
have water. At noon he should be first
watered and then allowed to eat hay for
a short time before receiving his grain,
which should be given him at least one
hour before he is again put to work.
In the middle CT the afternoon lie
should be watered again, and in the
evening his grain should not be given
him until he has first been watered and
allowed to eat hay for at least an hour.
The trouble and loss of time required TO
water working animals in the middle of
the forenoon and afternoon may in some
cases render it impracticable, but fire.
quent watering will be found advan-
tageous to the stock in all cases and a
powerful factor in the prevention Of
collie.
So long as the animal will drink it no
water is considered too foul for either
horses or mules. Not only is this neglect
on the part of stock owners responsible
for many cases of collie, but many other
diseases also are directly traceable to I'M
pure water. An unlimited supply of good
pure water is essential to the health Of
all animals used for farm work. Pools
formed from surface drainage where
large quantities of organic matter are
carried into them, and wells or pools
contiguousto barnyards or manure heaps,
are especially to be avoided.
Sudden changes of temperature, IN.
duly severe exertion, parasites (worms,
etc., in the intestines and feeding on
green grass when the animal is not ac-
customed to it are frequent causes Of
collie.
