Food For Egg Production.

The fundamental principles to be
borne in mind in arranging the diet OF
hen are that the largest ingredients in
eggs are lime, nitrogen and phosphoric
acid. We have thus found from one
chemist Of what the egg is composed,
and we learn from another that green
bones, when cut up" not ground up,
are the best and cheapest eggmaking
material extant Green bones are rich
in albumen, phosphate Of lime and phos-
phoric acid, which 60 to make egg and
shell. The result has been revolution
In the economy Of egg production in
winter An immediate result has been
the invention and manufacture Of mills
to "cut up" the bones.
Manager Gilbert Of the Canadian ex-
pertinent farm says that a good plan
whereby farmer may utilize waste is
to have pot set aside, into which all
the table waste in the shape Of meat
scraps, pieces Of bread, vegetables, ETC.,
may be thrown. Heat this up in the
morning with boiling water and mix in
bran, shorts, provender or whatever is
cheapest until the whole is crumbly

pepper should be busted in before mix
ing. Let the mixture stand until par
TALLY cooked and feed in a narrow
trough to the layers in the morning. A
light feed Of oats at noon and a liberal
ration Of wheat, buckwheat or other
grain for the evening meal should bring
plenty Of eggs. Each layer should be
sent to roost with full crop to carry her
over the long night fast. 1t is imperative
that green food in the shape Of unmar
ketable vegetables, clover hay or lawn
clippings be supplied. If green bones
are fed, they may be given in lieu Of any
of the regular rations, reducing the guam
tity of grain in proportion to the guam
tity of bone used.

DIAGRAM OF FORCING HOUSE.

where graded and the alleys between
them dug out 2 feet deep and y feet
wide. The roof is formed Of ordinary
hotbed sash, or, what is better, of per-
manent sash bars wide enough apart to
admit panes 10 to 10 inches wide and
strengthened by thin iron rods running
across along the center Of each side.
Chances for ventilation are easily pro-
vided. This house is not recommended
for tender plants, but as cold pit for
forcing spinach, lettuce, radishes, pars-
ley, etc., and for growing early vege-
table plants, as cabbages, caulifower,
etc. These cold houses in New Jersey,
southern Pennsylvania and thence south
produce at least three successive crops
each year.
There are two objections to this style
OF forcing house-namely. the easy ac-
cess Of cold air to the pit by means of
the entrance and the placing of the heat
er inside the pit. These objections, how
ever, can be avoided by having a fur
mace or boiler room at the north or west
end, with an entrance from there lead
ing to the pit itself.
Such a house as the one described will
not only furnish what green stuff is

4 Simple Device Which Prevents the Cholk-

4 Simple Device Which Prevents the Chok-
ing Up of Tank Overflow.
A New Jersey correspondent Of Coun-
try Gentleman writes as follows:
Water is piped to my barnyard from
spring 100 rods away. The half inch
supply pipe enters near the bottom Of
the tank and is kept from freezing by
being continually immersed. But the
one inch overflow pipe, which goes out
about three inches from the top Of the
tank, used to get clogged with ice in
winter and dirt in summer, causing
much annoyance. To obviate this hit
upon the following device, which has
stood the test Of years:
A hole inches square Ga round one
of this diameter would do as welD was
sawed in 6 by 6 piece of inch pine.
This was nailed on the inside of the
tank, with its center over the opening Of
the overflow pipe. Over the hole in the
block was nailed 8 by piece Of gal
vanized wire netting of quarter inch
mesh. Now, any ice that may form is
kept an inch away from the mouth of
the overflow, for the water never freezes

The Sugar Beet.

In those portions Of the arid and semi
arid regions adapted to its growth one
of the surest and best paying crops is
the sugar beet. This is crop that may
be grown with but a moderate amount
of irrigation if the ground is properly
prepared for the crop and the most thor
ough cultivation is practiced. One of
the prime requisites in growing sugar
beets for sugar making is that the ground
be plowed deeply. In no other way is it
possible to grow q straight, smooth root,
such as is required in sugar production.
A stunted, scraggy root, such as will be
produced where the subsoil is dry and
hard, will not yield a satisfactory per
cent Of sugar. Deep blowing and thor
ough surface cultivation, the two requi-
sites in producing good crop Of sugar
beets, are also the two processes which
most surely and effectually conserve wa
ter supply. Hence it is that if a crop of
beets is properly planted and cultivated
the water used to irrigate them can be
made to go a long way. A few acres of
sugar beets, well tended, will pay the
cultivator a larger profit than big field
of wheat at current prices, according to
The Irrigation Age.

Wintering Bees.

In q paper read before the North
American Beekeepers' association at the
twenty fifth annual meeting President
Abbot had the following to say concern
ing the wintering Of bees: The secret Of
successful wintering Of bees, stated in
few words, is plenty Of foo5in the right
place. The right place is above the clus-
ter. As soon as cold weather comes the
bees form in a compact cluster to keep
warm, and this cluster moves only one
way, upward
In the months Of January and Feb
ruary there is generally a long spell Of
cold weather During this time the clus-
ter is moving toward the tops Of the
frames, consuming as it goes all of the
honey in the frames Immediately above
it. The cold weather continuing, it
finally reaches the top of the frames
and can go no farther in this direction.
1t cannot disband and move over to 9TH
er frames; neither can it move length
wise on the frames it now occupies.
What is the result? Having consumed
all of the food in their honey sacs, and
not being able to reach any more, nor
live on wood, the bees die of starvation.
Had the weather turned warm for few
days, so the cluster could have broken
up and the bees ''taken flight" they
then would have formed in another To-
cality on the frames or else would have
carried sufficient food into the combs
where they had clustered before to carry
them over another cold spell Of reason
able length.
President Abbot feeds his bees granu-
lated sugar made into solid cakes. The
warmth and moisture arising from the
cluster will keep the sugar sufficiently
soft so the bees can eat it without any
trOuble

Danger of Damp Linea-

Damp linen is sufficient to account
for frequent colds, consumption, and
premature death of a whole family;
and where the mischief not having
taken that direction, is developed in
the form of a rheumatism, which once
set in from that cause. is generally in
durable. All body linen, shortly be-
fore putting on. should be made dry by
a good fire. Whenever that is impos-
sible. it is a good plan to put the linen
between the blankets of your bed all
night, in a position to get plenty of
heat. Those who have experienced no
signal evidence of the mischief of
damp linen are apt to be careless on
the subject; but the carelessDess will
inevitably entail its punishment,
which is likely to accumulate insidi-
ously until it is too late.-Hall's Jour
nal of Health.
