Breeders should ll.ve q house set apart
for this operation, even if they are of
the outdoor pattern, early in the season
especially. Later the outdoor hroodcrs
may be used in the open air. The brood
er house preferred by Il Country Gen
tleman correspondent has Il board floor,
windows that admit the sunlight on the
soutl.erly side Of the house and room
about the brOOdrr to secure exercise for
the chickens, which, if very early in
the season, cannOt ba advantageouSiv al
lowed to run out of doors. The house
need not be expensive. Even "a building
inclosed on three sides, upeu to tho
south--a mere shed-will answer, if
one uses outdoor breeders, though an
inclosed house is better. This CORE
spondent has used brOuderS in a cellar
and had really good success with them,
but prefers Il house set apart 10 their
use. 1t is not necessary, however, to eX-
ercise SO much caro- i'll the location Of a
broodor as in thar of an incubator, for a
hatchCd chick has much greater vitality
than the unmatched germ. Still the
more favorable the situation of the
broodel, other things equal, the more
satisfactory will be the growth and de
vel0pment Of tho chickens.

end Morgan, derive their endurance and
high spirit from the Arabian blood
whence they are descended. Through a
century Of horse generations it has de-
scended. Henry Clay was one of the
colts of the famous Lady Surrey that
raced with Flora Temple.
Beautiful as Henry Clay was, there
are still ho:. IS in Kentucky as hand
some and ~ full of spirit. The picture
shows, too, that we have had for gen
erations in America horses as fine in ev-
cry respect as any of the imported hack
neys and Cleveland bays so much fuss
has been made about. But we have not
had enough Of them to 90 around, and
that was the trouble. We want enough
of the best horse blood to admit of the
scrubs being shot for their hides and
bones, as has been occasionally donc in
the west lately.

A bulletin from the Wyoming exper-
motor for irrigation purposes. 1t is IA
combination of undershot and breast
water wheel for utilizing the force Of u
river current to raise water from the
river to the irrigation bitches. Being
hung OH a swinging frame, the wheel
rises and falls with the river. 1t is not
patented. Mr.. Harvey, the inventor,
has given it to the public. The Wyo-

this new water motor as IA cheap, relia-
Bile and effective method of taking wa

the wheat net 81 per bushel against 50

that l6.4 per cent of the wheat crop of

mated about 3d. per cent of the 1894

Hog Wisdom.

At the Missouri swine breeders con
vention the valuable points brought out
were as follows:
A small number of pigs at the first
farrow cause Il failure in the develop
ment of a sufficient number Of teats, so
that subsequent |littars will not be sup
piled with milk for the whole number
of pigs. One speaker suggested The plan
OF borrowing pigs from some other SOW
III order that IL good development might
be secured for a particularly fine SOW.
AS to the care needed for II brood SOW,
it was agreed that this should begin
some time before narrowing. Good feed,
not too muci, corn, plenty of exercise,
good quarters. The SOW should become
used to the place where she is expected
to farrOw some weeks before. After the
narrowing care should be taken not to
feed too much at first. Give wholesome
diet-hran, some >lops, not too rich
diet, for thereby scours in the pigs may
be brought on. As soun as pigs begin to
eat prepare q trough apart from the SOW.
Wheat meal, bran, shipstutT and milk
were all considered good.
Many remedies for lice wcro given.
Coal oil OF crude petroleum was used;
also an ointment made IF m~erCurial
ointment 10 ounces, sulphur + ounce
CARROLL" acid 3 ounces. oil of penny
royal II, ounces, Il quart of grease.
Melt, mix and stir till cold. Use by
rubbing on the posts in pen or by satu.
rating II rag and lacking the same to

leuln was recommended very highly to

it by the inrrrl. Several others gave
very satisfactory results from its use.

teeth occasionally Wear off sharp and

does not lie with them.

1iNf STOCK EOIHtS.
At the Chicago s~t0ckvards 3,O0O.-
600 sheep Were slaughtered and sold
daring 1894. This was 30, 600 more
than We're consumed in 1898. Normally
The number would not have been larger
rhan during the Worlds fair year. The
increase shows that many farmers are
going ont of the sheep business because,
Of free wool.
British cavalry regulations require the
saddle to he placed in the miodlo Of the
back. 'nbuut the breadth Of the hand

The record breaking year for the Chi
caso pork market was 1891, when
>, 600, u We're sold there. The poorest
Ct recent years was 1898. For 1894 the
"tcOrd rose again, and the number was
about 1850, 900. But tn" price Was
over, being &l.1J Il hundred less than
II lSDi. The average price for grown
hogs i'll 1894 Was 500 per hundred.
1t is IL mistake to quit raising sheep
because the tariff has been taken oil

GOOD demand as they are now, and tho
'aste for good article is growing, With
.tlder, mild favored mutton rs the first
object; and with steadily working up to
Lat object by improving the meat il
all ways, breeders can still make the
.1ieCp business pay well. Wool will be
merely an incidental fUr the present.
