Illustration is the best. In place Of the
manager is a rack for hay, slanting to-
wards the COW at an angle of As deg.
The other side of the rack is boarded
up four feet high. Into this all the
coarse fodder is thrown. The cut and
ground feed is given the animal in
strong box, placed under this rack, as
shown in the ulustra ton. The COW is
held by q halter to which is snapped a
rope. This is tied to ring in the
rack and gives her perfect liberty of
motion SO she can rub or lick herself
at pleasure. The floor is planked level.
As the COW stands feeding at the rack
2x3-inch scantling is laid down lust
forward of her hind feet and spiked
firmly. Between this scaatling and the
rack a little dry bedding is placed.
The cow in lying down soon learns to
step forward and not lie across the
scantling, but will occupy only the
dry, clean and comfortable portion Of
the floor. When she rises the sloping
rack forces her to step back and there
the manure is dropped, The bedding
inside the scantling will remain dry un-
til ground to powder. The bottom Of

He Was Struck.

A clerk in a Grand River avenue
grocery, who had been greatly annoyed
by the boys pilfering from samples at
the door, saw a ten-ycai Id pocketing
apples. He couldn t catch the young
pilferer, and in his great indignation
he called out:
"Boy, if ever I get hold Of you, I'll
break every rib in your tody."
"Will, eh?''

"I'n tell you what I'll do, and the
First National bank will back me-"
said the boy as he came little nearer.
I'll bet you ten dollars you can't tell
how many ribs a human being has.
Now, put up If you dare"
The clerk looked like a man who had
been asked hard question as he went
back into the store and began to hunt
for a medicine almanac.

Farm Notes.

Farmers and gardeners Of New Jer-
sey experienced considerable difficulty
in getting a stand of melons, sweet DO
tatoes and corn last season, owing to
the severity of the attacks of cutworms.
Many cocoOns, nests. etc., Of harm
full insects can be destroyed by covering
the garden or truck patch lightly with
straw and then burning it, being care
full to have all the weeds and stalks con-
sumed.
Now is the time to settle Just what
crops are best to be grown next sum-
mer, keeping in mind the certainty of
a drought to be met in July or August.
The short pasture m,,~t be helped out
With some kind Of grown crop, so that
the cows will not shrink In milk yield.
A good crop to help out poor pasture
is the COW pea that can be either cut
or pastured. Are you planning to SOW
some? It makes a splendid crop for
emergencies because it can he either
pastured, cut for hay, or allowed to ma
ture and the peas threshed out. There
is no better COW feed.

1t was easy to divine that, with such

long separation between the horsemcn
and the treasure they We're guarding.
and, eager as he was to overtako the
