FACTS FOR FARMERS.

ONE decided advantages with a good
shelter is that the sheep will produce a
greater return in sheep and wool, with
less feed,
In selecting horses or cattle for
breeding, q deep chest, with wide nos
trils, are the essential points, as these
signs indicate large, healthful lungs.
The compound given below is said to
be good for the trees aud to prevent
damage by rabbits, viz: two pounds
soap dissolved in three gallons of hct
water aud two ounces carbolic acid.
AN Illinois sheep-breeder, who has
fattened as many rs 10000 sheep, states
that ensilage, with little grain, is an
admirable feed for them. Cd such
diet his sheep have gained twen-
~ pounds in ninety days, on an aver
age, for large number. While the
gain may not lc as great rs on a more
concentrated ration, yet the cost was
less than With some other A.nds Of

or obliquc markings; head, long, shin
ing red or browng, head and anal
segments armed above with Il horny
plate, darker than the remainder of
the body. On each segment are six or
eight dark colored humps each bear
ing IL hair. When disturbed the worms
curl themselves into ring. There are
upwards of three hundred species; one
of the most common and destructive is
the greasy, or black cutworm.
The larva Gig, y or worm, when
full grown is about an inch and half
long, dull red brown color, with five
paler stripes running along the body,
the under side of the body being pale
greenish yellow.
The moth Gig, ~ has dark fore
wings with blush tinge on the front
border and with darlS-brown lance
shaped mark running from the pos
terror portion of the kidney-shaped
spot in the middle of the wing Hind
wings pearly white and semi-trans-
parent There are two broods and the
moths are on the wing from April to
October.
The natural enemies of cutworms are
various species of parasitic and preda-
ceous insects, birds like the robin,
ackbird, catbird and poultry, aud
animals like the skunk aud mole.
Among artificial remedies we name
preventive measures, handful of
salt on the surface of the plant hill, to-
bucco dust about the stem of plant, pa
per, burdocl1 or walnut leaves wrapped
around the stem of the plant, paper or
tin tubes slit at one side slipped over
the stem, or busting dry powder like
| hellebore, air-slaked lime, ashes and
pvrethrum about the stems and on the
foliage of plants.
Among destructive measures we name
early fall blowing which covers up the
feed of the young worms and leaves
them 10 starve, late fall and winter
blowing which exposes them in then
winter quarters to perish, dipping
plants to be set in solution of helle
bore lone pound to ten gallons of wa
ter), Or paris green Zone ounce to cight
gallons of watcr), digging out worms by
hand where plants have been cut by
them.
An effective method of saving {
crop from their ravages is by poisoning
them before the plants are set or crol
like corn comes up, To do this, grass
clover, cabbage or turnip leaves ar,
dipped in paris green water and scat
tered in small handfuls over the gar
den or field. A stone or piece of Woo
laid on it will keep the poisoned tral

MOVABLE SHEEP RACKS.
Two Kinds That Have Been Used with
Good Results.

The illustrations are of sheep racks
designed for use in barns and sheds
and are combination grain and hay
racks. movable rack for the barn is
much more desirable than a stationary
one. In taking out the manure and
when temporary subdivisions are made,
it is often convenient to shift the racks.
Both of those given are movable and
each can be made double by having a
trough for grain feed on each side and
by making it twice as wide as those
described
Double racks make good movable
partitions. They can be any length dc.

A new brick baking machine is to be
noted among the recent mechanical novel
ties. 1t is a simple contrivance, consisting
of table covered with iron brick molds,
to which an electric current is applied, the
table being by IA feet, and holding 1000
molds, joined together like pigeon holes.
Each mold is the size of a brick which has
been pressed but not baked, and each has a
cover SO fitted as to follow the brick as it
shrinks. The bricks are taken from the
presses and placed in the molds. the cover
adjusted and the current turned on. The
iron sides of the molds form the ''resist-
ance," and the bricks are virtually inclosed
by walls of fire. The bricks having shrunk
to the proper size, the sinking covers of
the molds automatically turn off the cur
rent, the baking is done, and the bricks are
dumped. New York Sun.
