From Journal, Lewiston, Mel
Samuel r Jordan has just given the Jour
nal an account of his life, which in view of
his extremely hard lot for the past few
years will be read with interest.
81 am 4S years old and have always lived
in New Portland. I enlisted in the army in
1862 as private in Company A, 2Sth Me-
Volunteers. My army experience injured
myhealth to some extent, although worked
at blacksmithing some part of the time,
when suddenly, several years ago, I was

feeling in my legs and feet, they felt like
sticks of wood and grew so much worse

out help, as my neighbors and friends could
testify. / employed several physicians in
my vicinity, and elsewhere, and they all
told me that medicines would not help me,
that they could do nothing to effect cure
and that In time should become entirely
helpless. became discouraged. I was
great care to my wife and friends. Shortly
after met an old army comrade Mr.. All.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES,

If seed is carefully selected it will
not run out. If it is not. it will.
The corn crop is an important one,
not only for its grain but for its fodder.
TAKE the boy into some sort of part
nership with you, and allow him every
cent or share that the contract calls for.
THE farmer who carefully saved his
seed corn at husking last fall took the
first important step toward getting a
good crop in 1895.
THE boy that is made to work like a
slave for his board and lodging, will
likely be one of those funny boys who
will want to leave the farm.
BECAUSE the father was compelled to
work himself aim ost to death when he
was young is no sort of reason why his
child should be made to work himself
nearly to death.-Farmer's Voice.

way, it is found very useful, some
think indispensab BILE, to apply the actual
lime to the soil.
1t is not much of job to make lime.
The limestone may be put in heap
with wood or coal, and a wall built up
around the heap to confine the heat.
The fue, being fired. the stone is made
into lime in three or four days. But
this is a costly way, and thus where
there is a demand for the lime. kilns
are used, some temporary ones, but lit
tie improved on the heaps, or clamps,
as they are called, and some strong
structures called permanent kilns Of
which the cut is an example. This is
made of any kind of hard stone, and
lined with fire brick. 1t is egg-shaped,
because as the limestone is burned, and
the coal or wood used as fuel is con-
sumed, the bulk decreases, and thus
what will fill the belly of the kiln,
only fills the throat at the bottom.
This kiln may have three or four
threats or openings for drawing out
the lime. but each is made in the way
shown. The lime w hen it reaches the
bottom being fully burned, is drawn
out into the hearth a, through the
opening into the kiln, b. In burning
the stone is broken into convenient
size for handling, and a way is made to
the top of the kiln, which is most often
built in bank. A small sloping track
is sometimes made to the top of the
kiln, and platform around it. so that
the small cars Of lime and fuel may be
drawn up and dumped into the kiln.
The fire is started in the bottom
by filling in dry wood; on this
is laid other wood, from the
tu.oat, then more fuel, wood or coal
(the cheap slack being used), is dumped
in at the top, then some lime, and then
alternately fuel and limestone until
the kiln is full, when it is fired, and
goes ON day after day as long as lime
is required. About the third day, the
lime is ready for raking out, which is
done with long iron bars with right
angled hook at the end. It is only
necessary to start it, when it fills the
hearth. where it is left to cool. When
It is taken out. more lime comes down,
or if it lodges, the hook is used to
loosen it. After the kiln is first
charged, the stone sinks down steadily,
and as this is always to be kept heaped
at the mouth, as soon as it has sunk
down to a level, a fresh supply is
heaped up AS the fumes from the
deadly gas when breathed, it is neces-
sary for the man in charge of feeding
the kiln, to keep on the windward side,
SO that the gas is blown away from
him-Rural New Yorker.

A MOVABLE HENNERY.

How to Make Poultry Pick Up q Living
on Stubble Fields.
On stubble fields there is often a
good deal of food which if the fowls
could be induced to forage sufficiently
would amount to a considera BILE guam
tity of feed. In some countries the
young, growing fowls are housed in a
small, lightly constructed building on
wheels, of a weight not too heavy for
horse to draw, and of a size to &C.
commodate from so to 20 chickens.

Sure Sign OF Coming Wind.

Says an old Pennsylvania farmer: II
Always know when there is to be a
windstorm by watching the turkeys
and chickens go to roost each night.
In calm weather the fowls always
roost on their poles with their heads
alternating each way; that is, one
faces east, the next west, and so ON.
But when there is going to be high
wind they always roost with their
heads toward the direction from which
It is coming. There are reasons for
these different ways Of roosting, I
take It. When there Is no wind to
guard against they can see other
danger more readily If they are head
cd in both directions, but when wind
Il to arise they face It because they
can hold their positions better. But
the part can't understand" he con-
eluded. sis how the critters know that
the wind is going to rise when we NOR

Lice in House or on Body.

Don't labor under the superstition
that because they do not get on you
when you go into the poultry house
that no lice are present. Pick up hen
and slowly and carefully look along
the neck and the top Of the head, and
the chances are you will find them,
and they will be large and easily seen.
The lice that travel over the poultry
house are very small red mites, but
those that you will find on the bodies
of the hens do not leave the birds at
all, but remain and multiply. If you
see a single one, grease the necks of all
your hens. for, If one has them none
are exempt.-Colman's Rural World.

The Poultry Yard.


Mr.. Thomas A. Duff gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the poultry build
ings on the Agricult ursl college farm,
Guelph, Ont. They have it cold there
in winter, hence build houses that will
keep their birds comfortable:
The main building is 140 feet long by
fifteen feet in width, divided, however,
by story and a half erection 2Ox32.
The house is seven feet in height at
the caves with a third pitch roof. 1t
ia constructed as follows: After the
frame work was up it was boarded on
the outside of the uprights with inch
boards. Upon this was put tarred
paper; upon this again inch boards
(dressed) were placed and then the
whole was battened and painted. Then
on the inside of the uprights, the
whole building, ceiling included, was
lined with tongue-snd-grooVed lumber,
leaving an air.space between the walls
of four inches, which certainly adds to
the comfort of the building. The roof
is shingled and on the inside, instead
of running the match boards up to
the center Of the roof, on the rsfters,
the boards run straight, giving the
buildings "a much better appearance
and adding to the warmth. The whole
sits upon q substantial stone founda"
tion. Across the building, where each
pen is divided, a stone wall runs to the
level of the floor, the space between
being filled in with sharp, ,graVelly sand.
This is a sure preventative against
Vermin of every kind. The front part,
16x2O, forms the office. This is well
lighted and fitted up with all conVen-
fences. The back part, 14x2O, is the
