Don't trust the hired man or boy to
look after the chickens. They will
neglect them. If you want the poultry
attended to properly do it yourself
Do NOT let the chicks roost on small
roosts while they are young. II they
roost before their breasts become firm
and hardened, they will be sure to
have crooked breast bones.
EXPERIENCE is great school in
poultry raising, and the mistakes are
guideposts to keep every one in line
Get all the experience you can and
avoid making the same mistakes twice,
and then You will be on the road to a
profitable success.
AT this season Of the year, when
there is an unlimited range, care will
be necessary to observe, by liberal
feeders, not to overfeed the fowls.
There will be little or no danger of
overlooking the chicks, as it takes all
they can get to furnish them bone,
muscle, feathers and flesh.
THE success of many a man in the
poultry business, both commercially
and from a fancier's standpoint in
show records, is due to women, who
get no credit They have been the
power behind the throne many a time
when men have received the honors. -

pended from the sleepers above, which.
by the use of ropes, pulleys and
sand bag, can be gently let down. one
of the pens can be turned into a closed
compartment for ewes when breeding:
and by the use of hurdles which are
hinged together, and which, when not
in use are stored neatly away above.
this closed compartment can be sub
divided into numerous pens for several
sheep. The doors at the ends of the
feeding passages next the walls open
int, the passages and are hung in such
a way that when sheep are being
changed from one pen to another the
doors prevent them from getting into
the passageway The floor Of the feed
room is made of cement and a root
pulper and stripper occupy one side
of this compartment, while in another
corner is a neat little cupboard for
holding shears, sheep-dip, etc. A dip
ping trough and other appliances are
stored away in convenient corners. A
large inclosed water cistern has been
built at one end of the root cellar, and
by means of tap the hose water can
be carried to any part of the building.

GET WIDE TIRES FIRST.
Then Good Country Roads win he Easier
of Attainment.


The good roads spirit of progress has
impressed the value and necessity of
wide tires upon all classes of road
vehicles. Transfers, merchants and
manufacturers in towns and cities are
adopting wide tires because they find
the loads haul easier and the streets
wear smoother and better Wide tires
are imperative on the good roads of
France; then how much more Important
upon our soft dirt roads. writer in
Good Roads says: In those parts of the
country where stone does not abound,
and the most available road material is
prairie mud-thc first, best and cheap
est relief is to use wide tires, next put
in underdrains and keep the road well
shaped up. Such a road, properly
looked after, comes very near being
right for sparsely settled prairie coun-
try, and during Il large part of the year
Is good enough for anybody, but it is
absolutely necessary to use wide tires,
and what is more, it is profitable to
the user, in that he can haul double
the corn out of the field that he could
have hauled with narrow tires,
and he can get to town with a
very much larger load, even when
he is the only user of wide tires over
that road: and as soon as the ilat-footed
wagons become general, it is not neces-
sary to spend one-half the amount
keeping up even Il common dirt road
With proper drainage and wide tires, a
long step is taken in the direction Of
going TO town in the spring and fall.
Few localities are so slow that drain

lowest bottoms" road, properly
raised. with suitable side bitches and

soft road is kept smooth a good road

longer, larger loads can be hauled,
larger bank accounts can be main
tanned, better profits for the farmer,
better prices for the consumer, better
nature will prevail, and better citizens
are made by the use of wide tires.
Therefore get wide tires first, and good
roads will be easier of attainment.

Better Than Condition Powders.

When an animal falls off in appetite
and does not seem to relish the food,
some simple treatment will often bring
it around, such as to give to a COW one
pint of raw linseed oil, repeated the
third day. Then give bran mash with
one ounce of salt, half an ounce of
ground ginger, and the same of sui
plate of iron finely powdered. If the
food is made up of good hay, cut and
wetted, and a small handful of this
mixture is given it will probably re-
move the trouble: A pound of linseed
meal, four ounces of ground gentian
root, the same of Peruvian bark, pow
dered, two ounces of anise seed pow
dered, one ounce of iodide Of potassium
and two ounces of carbonate of iron.
All are mixed evenly and kept in a dry
place. This is better than any of the
common condition powders, and costs
much less. The feed should be given
in small quantities, at four intervals

The object of dividing the load into

The bacteria on the roots of the
clover plants which store up nitrogen
are more numerous and active when
the plant is young than when it is old,
and having the plant in the soil, it
would be best to let it remain there
until it was nearly mature, or until its
active period of growth had passed.
soon after crimson clover begins to
bloom it ceases to produce nitrogen
With red clover it is different, because
it IS a biennial; that is, provided the
borers and the clover seed nudge do
not destroy it. In recent years in cen
trai New York it is impossible to get
more than one cree from it on account
of the ravagcs of the root borer The
second crop of red clover plowed under
when in bloom will be at the period
when its beneficial Influences have
measurably ceased. The first crop
should be cut for hay The second
crop will be worth nothing for seed on
account of the clover seed nudge.
