foundation of stone or wood, the lower
log being one foot from the ground.
There are three logs on each side, the
extreme height of the fence being not
less than four and half feet On the
leeward side of the pen a permanent
and durable manger can be easily
made from small poles. This may eX-
tend the entire length OF the pen and
be built upon one or more sides. The
straw is thrown into it directly from
the stack. and if ration of hay or
straw be fed at noon it will prove
equally as valuable as a manger in Il
barn or shed, the only objection being
that it is located out of doors. How
ever. it is more convenient and econom-
ical than to throw the food upon the
ground or in the nearest fence corner.

some Famous Recipes From New England
Kitchens and Their Cooks.
TO prepare Rhode Island baked beans
put one quart of beans to soak in cold
water over night. In the morning
pour off the water and cover with fresh
cold water: put on the fire and let them
come to the boil slowly. then simmer
until quite soft, but not broken. Then
pour off the water and put them into a
baking dish with boiling water enough
to moisten. Add pinch of dry mus
tard, some salt and two tablespoons of
molasses. Take about half pound of
fat salt pork, boiled and scored, and
put in the middle of the dish. Set in
the oven. covered, and let them cook
slowly ali day. About two hours be-
fore night uncover and brown.
For sponge cake or diet bread take
twelve eggs and the weight of the
eggs in sugar and half the weight in
flour: one lemon, juice and rind. Beat
the yolks and whites very light: beat
the sugar into tine yollls. Next add the
jnice and grated peel of lemon, then
the -four: lastly the beaten whites
put in these very lightly. Have tins
with perpendicular sides, lined with
outtered paper and a steady fire. The
cake should be eaten the day it is
made.
For brown pudding use three cups
Of flour. one cup of milk, one cup of
molasses. one cup Suet, chopped fine,
two cups of raisins, one teaspoonful of
powdered mace and cinnamon, and two
of powdered cloves and salt, one tea
spoonful of soda dissolved in d little of
the milk. After mixing pour into a
tightly covered and well-buttered tin
mold. Tie this in a strong towel and
boil nard for three hours and half.
Citron and currants may be added. A
hot liquid sauce, favored with lemon
or brandy, is nice to eat with this. The
man is yet undiscovered who does not
like this pudding.
For raised biscuit set a sponge to rise
as for bread at e o'clock. At half-past
rub into one quart of flour one table
spoonful of lard, little white sugar
and one tea spoonful Of salt. Make a hole
in the middle and put in Year sponge.
Knead it lightly with enough luke
warm milk and water to make it into a
soft dough let it rise. Early in the
morning kr ad it down and make into
biscuits and 1t before the fire to rise.

FARM WlND.BREAKS.
Why Every Country Place Should Have o
Natural Fence of Willows.


Every farm needs wind-breaks,
some more than others, for protection
in winter and summer, for what
breaks the force of the wind in the
winter will not only serve the same
purpose in summer, but if the right
kind will also supply shade, and shade
on a farm is as necessary as some
other things.
Anywhere, under any circumstances,
Il wind-breall saves-saves fuel in
I winter whether put into the stove or
fed to the stock, and in the summer
saves the life or prolongs the life of
man and beast. A tight board fence
costs. but it is economy to build if no
other kind be available; but a board
fence in the summer may be in the
way and is always a radiator of heat.
If it run in the right direction it may
furnish shade, but other wind breaks
are better.
Better than wood more picturesque
and more useful in summer is the
natural fence of willows-the com
mon willow that grows wild in great
abundance. Nothing requires less
care. A farmer went into II meadow
| and cut an armful of willows in the
spring, thrust the scions into the earth
| where he wanted his wind break,
making two rows, eighteen inches
apart, and the work was done.
The willows grow with surprising
rapidity if there be sufficient
moisture. and moisture they should
have in abundance at the start. After
they are rooted they will grow if the
soil is not moist, but they grow faster
with moisture.
In two seasons they may be an ap-
preciable wind d-break. and in another
the hedge will turn a COW. In the
summer the hedge of willows is orna-
mental; it gives the yard. the build
ings and the surroundings generally a
bright setting: and more, it provides
through the hot months shade for all
small stock on the farm.
The ducks, geese, hens, chickens and
the turkeys delight in the shady re-
treat; the turkey may make her nest
there instead of going to the woods or
roadside bush. In providing a living
wind-breal1, several purposes are ac-
complished, every one important and
useful.-George Appleton, in Farm and
Eireside.

POULTRY NOTES.


Notes ON the Selection of Winter Lay ers
and on Other Live Topics.
Defects increase with age, and il is
best to dispose of all objectiona bic
members of the flock early in the sea-
son. Do not keep any chickens that
appear stunted; they always degrade
the appearance of d flock, and when
once fowl has been stunted it is not
fit for breeding purposes, and in facs
is not worth the keeping. Disease, or
tendency to disease, is hereditary.
Discard all hens that show a ten
dency to lay on fat, and retain those
that under proper feeding will convert
the food into eggs instead of fat. If
part of the flock convert the food into
fat instead of eggs, the profit the lay
ers might give is eaten up by thc
drones. No fowl should be retained
that does not in some manner add to
the profit of the flock.
Much care should be observed in Sc
lecting layers for breeding purposes
every year, and in a short time the en-
tire flock will consist of nothing but
layers.
A good layer has small head. a
long neck and back and wedge
shaped body. The eyes are bright
and the comb and wattles are of a
bright red. She is senergetic and active,
starting at every sound or motion with
an elastic spring.
A good layer usually lays eggs that
will hatch well. The very fact that
she is Il good layer shows that she is
in a healthy condition, the consequence
being that the greater number of the
eggs will be fertile and the chicks
strong and vigorous.
A hen is a profit until she is three
years old; after that the number Of
eggs annually decreases, and she
should not be kept longer unless she
is world beater and perfectly healthy.
The hens that moult early should be
retained in preference to those that
moult late. They will come into profit
early in winter, when eggs are at d
good price.
Hens that hatch and raise brood
make good winter layers. The rest
they get by incubation fits them for
better work when they start again

UTILIZING THE STRAW.


Most farmers utilize the straw more
than they did twenty years ago, and
many of them consider good bright
oat and barley straw worth for feed
ing purposes quite as much as over
ripe clover and timothy hay, and,
pound for pound, worth fully half as
much as any good hay. Hence, in
stead of wasting the straw by building
fat-topped stacks and allowing the
cattle and other stock to have free ac-
cess to them, yard is built around
the stacks and the straw fed out as
regularly as hay or grain. TO make
all secure a log pen is built around the
stack similar to the one shown in the
illustration. The logs rest upon u
