ANIMALS ON FARMS.

A Decrease Reported Of All Kinds Ex-
cept Milch Cows.
The statistical bureau of the agricul-
tural department has given out the fol-
lowing report:
The estimates of farm animals for
January, 1895 show a decrease in the
number of horses, as compared with
January, 1904, of 1s7,2s1, or LII per

O.sl per cent; an increase in milch
cows of 17.129, or O.l0 per cent; de-
crease in oxen and other cattle of o.

the number of sheep of 2,753,953, or

OF swine of 1,04O,782, or 2.30 per cent.

COWS have increased about per cent,
oxen and other cattle have lost in
value IL per cent, sheep have declined
2.2 per cent. and swine 16.9 per cent.
The decline in the prices of farm
horses is general throughout the coun-
try. The exceptions are to be found in
the mountain and Pacific states and
Massachusetts. The range of horses
is from $l6.1 per head in Utah to $74. 13
in Massachusetts. The average value
of mich cows increased from SPLIT in
1898 to $2l.97 for last year.

TO MAKE A HOTeED.
A Subject In Which Every Farmer ShouIa

A subject In which Every Farmer Should
+0-,s He Interested.
A hotbed of convenient size for the
farmer NAV be made as follows: The
frame may be l6 inches high at tho
rear and II inches in front from the
level of the ground, and covered with
sash of any desired size. The boards
are nailed together at the corners,
fastened to ox3 inch scantling, but
gardeners first make a pit, foot deep,
and use a frame "a inches ut the rear
>and % inches at the front, according
to the kinds of plants to be grown. Ihe
height at the front, however, depends
on the width of the bed.
Fresh horse manure, free from lit
ter, is generally used 1t is the fer
mentation of the manure that creates
the heat. If the manure is too loose
it may create heat more rapidly THAN
desired. 1t is better co mix the ma
nure in a pile, allow is to heat some,
and then turn it over and well mix it
again before using it in the hotbed.
Having trampled the manure firmly
cover with rich dirt to which has been
added one-fourth it's bulk of fine, we'll
rotted manure. There should be no
Jumps. stones or pebbles in the hotbed.
If necessary, sift the dirt. The thick
ness of the dirt should be about 6
inches AS there will then be about
foot of space between the dirt and
the sash (the hotbed being - inches at
the rcar) ample air space will thus be
provided. If the manure does not heat
up quickly and is slow sprinkle the bed
we'll with hot water, first adding a
small quantity Of air-slacked lime to
the water. If too mucl, heat is gen.
Grated use cold water alone. When the
heat reaches about 50 degrees plant the
seeds in rows, but more warmth will
be required for the young plants
later on.
The frame shou Id be well banked up
with dirt to prevent the effects OF the
frost. The object should he to main
tain as even temperature as possible.
On clear, warm days the sash may be
raised slightly in order to admit air
during the middle of the day, but this
will depend on many circumstances.
The better plan is to hang thermom-
eter in the hotbed, and to visit it fire.
quently. As the heat from the manure
decreases the weather will become
warmer. Gradually accustom the
plants to the atmosphere as much as
possible, and transplant to the cold
frame such as may be suitable for that
purpose. Some sort of covering should
be used over the sash at night, such as
an old carpet, with a few loose boards
over the carpet. The temperature of
the atmosphere must be the guide in
management, as the plants must not
be kept too warm or become liable to
being chilled.-Farm and Home.

An Excellent Device Which Does the Work

The help problem among farmers is
to-day one of the most serious with
which they have to contend and any
device that tends to lessen or save la
bor,will or should be hailed with de-
light as boon of no little value.
The accompanying illustration is
presented in the hope that some one
may be assisted in tightening farm Ia
bors by the use of this ensilage or man

so constructed that the wheels will

-Four carrier wheels are bolted in

The journey of two hundred and
eighty miles had to be performed on

the shortest days for travelling. We

weather but 1ean-to of cotton to keep
the wind off, and an immense fire in

Some nights the cold was so intense
that even the best dry wood would not
flame up, and we sat huddled about a
dense smoke with our capotes, mitts
and fur caps on as in the daytime, and
waited with what patience we could

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

WHEN we feed the COW variety of
grains we come nearer to feeding an
evenly balanced food than if we fed
only one kind. .,.
GIVING cow ice-cold drinking water
necessitates feeding her more grain, if
she drinks such water. She will not do
it as long as she can help it.
OLD COWS to not respond as younger
ones do to the food they consume. The
young COW is ready to give full ac-
count of all she eats, if she is a good
COW.
AN exchange claims that in deep
setting Of milk, when the air is pure, it
is better to leave the tops off the can.
It is claimed that the flavor will be
better.

feed to a better advantage than if she

How to Keep Flowers Fresh.

Lovers of flowers not rich enough to
buy often have various ways of pro-
longing the life and freshness of the
few they get. Violets may be kept
freshi if placed in fresh water and Gov
cred over night with tumbler. Most
flowers will retain their freshness for
several days if kept over night in tho
open air. Anyone possessed of one Of
those delicate French clocks that have
to be covered with a glass dome cannot
do better than sell or pawn the clock,
usually an object of neither use nor
ornament, buy flowers from time to
time with the proceeds, and use the
glass dome as a protector for the flow
ers at night. 1t will keep them fresh
for days.

bringing with them youth OF about
twelve years of age, and reported that
the father of this boy had suddenly
turned cannibal, and had killed and
eaten his wife and three younger chill
dren.
The boy had effected his escape and
carried the news to these Indians.
It was not an uncommon thing for an
Indian to acquire taste for human
flesh, and at times he had not the ex-
cuse of starvation, for in some instances
as in the present case-the party was
in the midst of abundance of game.
The Indians call this becoming a
"Windago;" and when Windago is
known to be within one or two hundred
miles of a band of hunters, the latter.
are paralyzed with fear to such an ex-
tent that they do not even venture
from camp to procure food, much less
trap for furs.
knowing this trait of the Indians,
and recognizing that if they did not
hunt. our trade for that year would be
lost, AIr. Clark, my superior in charge
of the post, ordered me to take four
men :and proceed to the place where
the Indian was last known to be. and
capture him by some means.
wanted to take the youth that had
come in with the Indians as guide,
but he could in no way be induced to
leave the post, being in such dread OF
his father.
The best informa tion as to the locali-
ty in which She-ma-gan was last seen
we got from boy. and started in a
three -fathom canoe to hunt him up.
Our journey to reach the place in
dicated by the boy was not difficult. as
we simply had to follow down the
Rupert river to the High falls: and it
was below that, at a bend in the stream
about two miles from the falls, on the
Eight-hand bank, where the boy had
last seen his father.
As She-1na-gan was known to be an
expert shot, and in possession OF a
good ouble-barreled gun, with plenty
of ammunition, it behooved us to ap-
proach him with due care, and not to
risk the lives Of any Of the party un-
necessarily.
The Hig IN falls from Mistassini We're
about sixty miles distant, and as it was
past noon when we left the post, we
only reached there the following even
ing in time to camp.
We took cold supper of jerked
moose meat and biscuit, with cold
water in place of the usual tea, as it
was deemed the safest plan not to
make fire because the smoke might
be drawn down the valley of the river
and thus betray our presence.

of his crimes, one could hardly hold
him accountable for his actions when
his reason was unbalanced.
Mr.. Gladman, the head officer of the
district and personally in charge of
Rupert house, was small, nervous
man, and anything out of the common
run of circumstances upset him ter
ribly. The reception he accorded us
for bringing this man down on his
hands was not the most gracious. In
fact, he threatened to order us back.
If this had been insisted upon, fear
there would have been mutiny on our
part. However, this unpleasant con-
tingency was obviated by the offer Of
Rev. Father Pion, who was stationed
at Rupert house as missionary priest,
to take charge of the man.
I was not sorry when the. return
packet was delivered to me and was
free to return to our inland home.

was there, for he was anything but a
