FOR COLONY KEEPING.
Very Convenient Coop and Run DescHSss
~. by Prof. ThOmRnn.


by Prof. Thomson.
A very convenient chicken coop IL
illustrated below. 1t is built by
feet and az feet high to the caves.
Stills are by set edgeways to act as
runners. The plates are of chestnut,
2 by 2, and project foot each way
outside the roof, making very con-
venient handles for moving. Floor,
sides and roof are of square-edged,
smooth inch boards. Tbs roof is built
with square pitch, and projects on
all sides beyond the boarding inches.
The roof is covered with thickness
of ordinary building paper held -
place by narrow strips of wood. One
coating of linseed oil renders this pa.
per waterproof and quite durable. Al
each end, running full width of the
coop, is door foot wide; one is
hinged, the other slides. The gables
are closed with fine wire screen. Two
movable roosts are placed leng thwise
~ feet from the floor. The yard is
built separate, made by mailing lath
az inches apart upon frame of inch
turing. 1t is the same size as the

Dealers in bogus butter and cheese
are not enjoying even a fair trade in
that usually profitable product. In
fact, oleomargarine and other decep-
tive compounds bearing the rich yellow
color of butter are drug on the
market. This is due to two causes
the low price of real butter and the
existence of the state dairy bureau,
formed by an act of the last Legislature
Among the duties of the bureau the
principal one is the enforcement of the
act which makes the sale or disposal
of unbranded imitation butter and
cheese an offense punishable by fine or
imprisonment -San Francisco Call.

The Future Of Irrigation.

Irrigation makes considerable
showing in the census of 1890. In that
year, according 10 the official report.
52,5s4 farm owners in the arid and sub
humid regions OF eleven states and ter
ritories were employing artificial means
of watering their land, to the extent
of 1854, 4l6 acres. The average size of
these farms was sixty-eight acres, and
their average annual production was
placed at sl4. SO per acre. The census
of 1900 will show large extension of
the area irrigated. The various sys-
tens are still in the experime ntal
stage, but the main fact looms up that
irrigation will be one of the leading
elements of the American agriculture
of the future.

Why the Fruit OF Athens Is Always Too
Green to Eat.
II is the way of ira yelers to complain
of the food they are obliged to eat in
foreign countries. Whether 1t is an
American in Europe, or European in
America, the result is much the same.
We like the things to which we are ac-
customed. When Edmond About was
in Greece, he carried matters so far as
to object to eating green peaches. He
was in the bazaar at Athens, says the
Youths Companion.
Wouldn't it be possible to get some
ripe peaches?" he asked the vender.
II think not, answered the Athenian.
"But pray tell me why?"
1--WE have no good roads. If the
farmers should try to bring ripe fruit
to market on mule-back, it would arrive
In the shape of marmalade."
but at Corfu, also, the peaches were
green. and they have good roads, and
bring the fruit to town in wagons"
'Ah, WE'LL" said the man, there is
another reason. The farmers have no
money, and they have creditors. They
can't wait for fruit to get ripe"
There, says About, you have fair
example of the state of Grecian agricul.

A French gardener, being at Smyrna,
noticed that the Greeks had almost no
vegetables in their gardens--tomatoes
everywhere, and scarcely anything else.

The Purchase of Seed,

Some farmers will carefully look
over the catalogues every year and
purchase all the newest novelties that
are offered They buy seeds knowing
nothing of them, and the new varie ties
turn oun to be of no value. Yet these
same fsrmers keep the same kind of
stock they had when they began to
farm, anu all the evidence that can be
presented ia favor of pure breeds is of
40 avail, If they were as energetic in
securing the best stock as they are to
procure superiority in fruits, grains

surrcstion FOR Cattle Raisers.

Beef cattle are yet in demand, and
there is plenty of time to grow calves
Of good breeds for conversion into
beef in three years provided the calves
are well bred. If every farmer would
resolve to keep pure bred bull the
calves would be more valuable and not
be sold off the farm when but few
days old. There is large loss to the
farmers of this country in the annual
slaughter of very young calves and
yet the failure to retain the calves is
due to the use of scrub bulls, which
have done more to curse cattle raisers
