will permit, a good plan manage
ment is to provide good racks in the
feed lots and fill with straw and
turn the stock to them in the morn
ing, giving them all that they will
eat. This will be found much more
economical than to allow them to
run to the stack.
Later on, or rather when the
weather will not admit of turning
the stock out, the managers can be
filed and what is not eaten can be
used for bedding, and in this way
material that in many cases is large
ly wasted can be used to good ad-
vantage while at the same time the
stock can be kept in a much better
condition than if they must depend
upon straw alone.

eyelid. One ear is situated at the
back of the head and the other di-
rectly under the lower jaw, near the
hinge. II has no tail, but in the

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story. or picture, or architectural plan. all
tho competitors risking the loss OF their labor
and the successful one merely selling his for

Company's offer is something entirely differ
emit Each person is asked merely to help him,

advantage Is to be rewarded for doing it. The

Feeding straw.

When oats and wheat have not
been allowed to get too ripe before
harvesting and the straw has been
properly stacked at threshing so
that it will keep in good condition
it makes a good rough feed to use
during the Winter. 1t is not COM
plete food, however, and therefore
needs to be used in connection with
other materials in order TO give the
best results. AS it does not supply
all the elements of nutrition in the
right proportions to maintain a
thrifty growth an animal must eat
more than it can properly digest in
order in order to grow ON straw
alone, But by combining it with
other materials wholesome, eco.
nomical ration can be made up that
will not only use the straw to good
advantage, but also lessen the cost
of wintering the stock.
For cattle and sheep one of the
best ways of feeding is to take the
same quantity of clover hay as OF
straw and add one-eighth the weight
of wheat bran. Better results can
be obtained if the straw and hay
are first run through cutting box
and the bran is added afterwards;
there will be less waste and a more
perfect ration will be made. A lit
tie oil-meal may be added, which
while increasing the cost but little,
will greatly improve its nutritive
value,
If run through cutting box and
bran and oilmeal added, a very good
ration can be made up that will
keep growing cattle or sheep thrifty

grain is given at night, give all Of
the straw the stock will eat in the
morning. AS long as the weather

Never give young chickens water
before feeding.
Do not allow the spurs on the
ROSTERS to grow too long.
Gather up the sorghum seed to
give the poultry this Winter.
1t is not by any means necessary
to pamper in order to give good care.
If hen can be made to lay one
egg a week she will pay the cost of
keeping.
Even in Winter it is an item to
have dust for the fowls where they
can futter at will.
1t is good plan to Gull out and
sell early all the chickens that are
not to be Wintered.
tits good plan to feed the moult-
ing hens literally now in order to
have them in good condition.
The wise poultryman avoids ex-
tremes, but feeds enough to keep the
fowls in a good, thrifty condition.
1t is when the hens are idle and
closely confined that they are most
liable to fall into the habit of feather
pulling.
The objection to throwing out the
egg shells to the hen is the liability
of their getting into the habit of
eating eggs.
In caponizing, the earlier bird
reaches maturity in his natural
state the earlier the operation should
be performed.
Feed plenty of buttermilk to the
poultry. A good plan is to mix it
with either bran or meal, giving all
that they will eat up clean.
In obtaining the highest prices
from special customers, it will pay
to put all the eggs of one color to-
gether before sending to market.
Feeding too much soft slushy
food is often factor in bringing on
the gapes in young chickens, as the
fermentation taking place tends to
create the germs of the disease.
On the farm, at least, the fowls
should have good range, as they
will pick up much that would other
wise go to waste, and in this way
the cost of feeding be greatly
lessened.
Chicks that give promise of prov
ing standard fowls will thrive much
better if the culls are removed and
more room in the quarters and a
freer range given to those that are
TO be kept.
Diarrhea may often be mistaken
for cholera, as the symptoms at the
start are nearly the same. AS soon
as the birds ar. affected they have
downcast look, become sleepy,
lose strength and have more or less
fever.
Properly managed, an incubator
will hatch fully as many eggs in
proportion as the average hen, es-
pecially during the Winter. But it
is necessary to fully understand the
machine and to give proper care in
order to obtain the best results.
Now is a good time to buy and try
an incubator, as it will give plenty
of time to get accustomed to man
aging it before it is necessary to fill
for Matching.

Onion Culture.
Onion culture is not very difficult
nor intricate, yet there are some
things to be understood and to be
done to insure success. If field
can be had but recently recovered
from the forest, or if apiece of new
land which has never produced a
crop of any kind is available, these
would be items of great value.
However, any rich land--it cannot
be too rich when made SO by thor
oughly composted barn-yard man
ure, especially such as is produced
by-swine or corn-fed cattle-if free
from weeds will produce good onions.
The large red "Danvers" produced
from the black seed would be the
most profitable. Onion sets would
be expensive and require a deal of
labor in the setting out on a large
scale; yet I shink they are the more
sure to bottom we'll.
If manure is used it should be
spread and we'll mixed in the soil
in Autumn, say early October,
Then as early as possible in the
Spring the soil should be titled with
cultivator and harrow and either
;sown or planted. The onion is very
hardy and frosts that would kill
other vegetation never touches the
onion; they may be touched, but are
seldom or never killed outright. 1t
is an absolute necessity that the
soil be thoroughly pulverized or dis
integated. A seed drill that can be
regulated as to depth of sowing and
quantity of seed is another desider-
;atum. Happily this and hand
<cultivator are not very expensive
nowadays. Make the drills the
longest way of the land. Most fire.
.quently the seeds are sown too thick;
this can be guarded against by mix
hight with wood ashes (leached) or
pure sand. The plants grown from
The black seed are at first very tiny,
hence careful handwriting is i'm
perative; and this must also be OBJ
served by cultivation. There can
be purchased combined drill and
cultivator. This implement cuts
off the weeds just below the surface,
and ought not to be used in time of
frequent showers, but in compar-
.atively dry time. The soil ought
often to be stirred. Overcrowding
the rows will prove a mistake,
though often the bulbs will crowd
each other, then there will be too
many small onions. About june l
the onions will be full grown; the
season of exact ripeness will be
shown by dropping tops, then, or
soon thereafter an empty barrel can
be rolled over the plot yet not so as
to disturb single root, While a
potato is injured in quality by ex-
posure to bright sunshine, an onion
is thereby improved.

NOT SO HARD Az 1T SEEMS.

A patent strikes person as an appallipgly
| formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor
must be natural genius. like Edison or Bell
that he must devote years to delving In compli-
Gated mechanical problems. and that he must
spend fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get new device to pstentable degree
| of perfection. This deluson the company de-
sires to dispel. It desires to get into the head
| OF the public clear comprehension of the fact
| that it is not the great, complex. and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors. but the little. simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
| the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention OF
the Patent Office.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent.
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost OF
his experiments. But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit of rubber cord to a
child's ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown, made fortune out OF :he
scheme. The modern sewing machine is a mi
racle of ingenuity-the product of the toll OF
hundreds of busy brains through a hundred
and fifty years. but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye OF the needle at the
point instead of at the other end

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost every body has been
struck, at one time or another, with ideas that
seemed calculated to reduce some OF the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
why don't the railroad companies make Its
car windows SO that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers bscks?'
exclaims traveller. 'If were running the
road would make them in such a way"
what was the man who made this sucepan
thinking off, grumbles the cook "He never
had to work over the stove. or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar buttonl" growls the man
who is late for breakfast IF l were in the
business Id make buttons that wouldn't slip
out. or break off. or gouge out the back of my
neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin TO think of some
thing else. II they would sit down at the next
convenient opportunity, put their ideas about
car windows. saucepans. and collar buttons in.
to practical shape. and then apply for patents.
they might find themselves As Independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron UNI
brella ring. or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzle.

Princess Who Ran Through a Fol \

Philadelphia Telegraph.
The Princess Ypsilanti, who died in
Vienna few days ago, belonged 10 one
OF the oldest families i'll Austria. and was
born in Vienna on March II, 1915. Her
father was the late Baron Sina Won
HOdOS und KiZdia. and her mother
member of the famous Roumanan
family of Ghika. Baron Sina was the
son of George Sina, the wealthiest
banker in Vienna. Baron Sina received
on his fathers death 10000, 900 fiorinS, or
45,000,000. This immense sum was
divided on the death Of Baron Sina be-
tween his three daughters, each receiv-
ing nearly $15,000,000. One of the

families of Greece. The second married
the spendthrift Due de Castries, a rel
alive of the late Marshal MacMahOn, of
France.
The third daughter, Helene, on Nov.
%, 1862, when she was about seventeen
years old, married Prince Gregory Ypsi-
lanti, native Of Epirus, and son Of
Demetrius Ypsilanti. whose valorous
deeds during the Geek revolution made
the name of Ypsllanti famous through
out the world. During the siege of the
city or Nauplia Demetrius, with small

terror among the Turks that they raised

Prince Gregory Ypsilanti was the
Greek envoy i'll Vienna for many years.
He was a man of independent means
aside from the great fortune brought to
him by his wife, and served his country
for honor alone, refusing all compensa-
ton for his duties as its diplomatic rep
resentive in Austria.
Prince Gregory Ypsllanti died in Paris
on Feb. 20, 1886, and was succeeded as
head of his family by his eldest son,
Prince Emmanuel, who is now a lad of
sixteen. Three weeks after his death
the bankruptcy of the princess was an
