Rat-ProofHouse.

Poultry Keepers and farmers who
allow rats to secure a foothold on
their premises should suffer the
losses meekly and submissively.
They deserve them, says a writer.
The party, however, whose losses
are caused by the marauders from
some lazy duffer whose premises
happen to join his, is entitled to
our sympathy, and he can have
barrels of it. Make your poultry
houses rat-proof. Sink 12-inch
boards their full depth around it,
and see that no trash accumulates
near or is piled against it. The
rats will not disturb the fowls in
the day time, and you can bo pre-
pared for their nightvisits by SIM
ply closing the door of the house.
Have all of your outdoor chicken
coops fioored and boarded up tight
with the exception of the front,
which should be covered with wo-
ven wire, one half-inch mesh, in
stead Of lath. Have small open
ing for the chicks to get in and out
at, and don't forget to close it at
night Farmers UOice.

TURKEYS in the Fall.

It Is but a matter of calculation
to learn how long the turkeys are
to be fed before they reach the
market at Thanksgiving. 1t is q
waste of time to raise turkeys and
then forfeit the profit by sending
them to market poor. A turkey
that weighs only ten pounds, If
poor, may be made to weigh two or
three pounds more, if made fat.
This extra weight means at least
fifty cents added to the value of the
turkey, and if It is fat and in good
condition, 1t will bring at least two
cents per pound more, or twenty
five cents additional. A saving of
seventy-five cents is thus secured
by feeding each turkey so as to
have it fat and attractive when
marketed. Too many farmers are
prone to allow their turkeys to do
all the work of securing food, simply
because the turkeys are good fora
gers and are disposed to do their
best to find as much food as possi-
BILE; but all extra feed Of corn,
morning and night, will show a
wonderful improvementin in the flock
and the turkeys will more than re-
pay for the extra food when they
are sent to market.

To Preserve Corn stover.

To preserve corn stOver make a
great bin beneath the barn floor,
cut the corn into short bits by
machinery and let it fall through
the floor as fast as cut, filing the
bin to the floor. Fodder that is
brought in in good condition and
cut right into the bin usually keeps
well. IT there is any fear that it
will not keep, an excellent method
is to haul tand cut it mixed with
one.third oat straw directly after
the oats are thrashsd. If the
thrashing is done early and the
corn fodderi not sufficiently cured,
the straw should be carefully pre-
served for mixing with the fodder.
All stock eat this combination eag-
erly. IT has been found safe and
economical provender for horses
not being severely workedsas well
as for COWS, oxen and young cattle.

William O'Toole Of the Leonard street
station, who was accused before the
Lexow committee on Saturday of taking
bribes while he was in charge Of the
Essex market court squad, has asked to
be retired from the police department.
He filed his application for retirement
late Saturday afternoon, just after DIR.
Whitehead had given his testimony be-
fore the committee, but 1t was kept a
secret until yesterday.
DR.. Whitehead had testified that he
had paid money to O'Toole as bribe on
several occasions when he was arrested
for malpractice. He swore that on one
occasion he gave O'Toole 5000. O'Toole's
application for retirement will come up
before the board at its next meeting. It
is not likely. that the commissioners will
retire before the charges shall have been

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
FARM wIND-BREAKs.
why Every Country Place Should
Have a Natural Fence OF Willows.

T.
Every farm needs wind.breaks,
some more than others, for protec-
ti0n 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
II the right kind will also supply
shade, and shade on farm is as
necessary as some other things.
Anywhere, under any circum-
stances, wind-break saves-saves
fuel in 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 econo-
my to build if no other kind be
available; but q board fence in the
summer may be in the way and is
always radiator ofheat. If it run
in the right direction it may fur
nish shade, but other wind break
are better.
Better than wood, more pictur-
esque and more useful in summer
Is. the natural fence of wilows-th
common willow that grows wild in
great abundance. Nothing requires
less care. A farmer went into q
meadow and cut an arm full of will
lows in the espring, 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 surpris-
ing rapidly if there be sufficient
moisture, and moisture they should
have in abundance at the start. AZ
tor they are rooted they will grow
If The soil is not moist, but they
will grow faster with moisture.
In two seasons they may be an
appreciabie wind-break, and in an
other the hedge will turn a COW.
In the summer the hedge of willows
is ornamental; it gives the yard,
the buildings and the surroundings
generally q 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
sh2dy retreat; the turkey may
make her nest there instead of GO
ing to the woods or roadside bush.
Tn providing living wind-break,
several purposes are accomplished,
every one important and useful
