RACK FOR CORN FODDER.

being careful to keep the center full
and we'll tramped it will turn wa
ter perfectly. A rack 16x32 feet should
hold good-day's threshing, or about II
acres of ordinary fodder, without MAX
ing the rack very high. Racks are made
by setting posts in the ground and
mailing on fencing, beginning four or
five feet from the ground and running
them as high necessary. To keep
the thing f.om spreading, the wires are
tied together by putting wires across
and twisting them together with a
stick to tighten them. Around the rack
manager is constructed with fencing
boards and posts for the cattle to eat
out of.
The sketch herewith will serve to
show the principle of constructing; it
shows a small rack which is very con-
venient for feeding straw or hay in the
yard, well as for fodder, when it is
made on alarger scale. Ths, lower part of
the manager, being the opening for
heads of cattle to pass through, should
be boarded up tight Tor feeding fodder.
The railing about the opening should
be strong pole or a hardwood 2x4.-

ABOUT CORN FODDER.
Some Valuable Hints About Shreddins
Storing and Feeding.

Some Valuable Hints About ShreddinE,
Storing and Feeding.
Combined corn huskers and fodder
cutters or shredders were used to a linn
tied extent in this section of country
some years since, but think none are
used now Imperfections in material,
workmanship. and in principle of con-
struction, as then made, and the ex-
pense of operating, will account for
their failure to obtain foothoId
among the labor-saving machines of
oul country. All except the last of
these objections have been overcome IN
the latter machines, which are now be-
fore the public
For several years past all the shred
ding that has been done in this section
has been with the common small-grain
thresher-mostly with old machines.
While they do not do the work quite as
well the special corn machinery
now in use, the expense of purchasing
the latter is avoided by the use of the
tLresher.
AS a shredder, the thresher, used
with all of the cylinder spikes and two
half-rows of concave spikes, is a de-
cided success, doing the work rapidly
and well-in fact, much more of a sue
cess than as a shelter and cleaner OF
:,
what broken and not clean enough for
market, though in good condition for
feeding purposes. If, however, the
ground has been wet and is frozen when
the threshing is done, causing the earth
t. adhere to the stalks, a considerable
quantity of Jumps of frozen earth about
the size of corn kernels will be found
in the grain. If the corn is dry when
threshed "a condition essential to best
work and easily secured west of the
Missouri), there will be no difficulty in
keeping the grain in bin and the slower
in large quantities in NOW or stack.
Our dry autumns are very favorable for
this work, which is usually done in
November and December. know that
in northern Ohio the corn was never
ready to shell and store in bulk before
winter set in; therefore, I think the
huskers and shredders should be bet
ter adapted to that and other sections
where the season is comparatively
short and the autumn moist. Ear corn
can be safely stored in large quantities
when so damp that if sheIled and piled
Up it would certainly be lost. As be-
fore stated, the fodder must be dry
w hen it is threshed: for damp stover is
a great material to develop heat when
shredded and stored in large quantities.
A little of the natural juice remaining
within the stalk is not nearly so bad as
outside moisture from rain or dew.
The western plan is to run the shred
ded stover directly into large racks in
the feed yard, where two or three men

NOTES ABOUT HORSES.

The horse has been known to exhibit
hatred to particular men, and home
sickness.
fence is not good protection from
cold and storm, or straw stack very
succulent food.
Too much feed is as bad If not worse
than too little, especially when the
horses have but little to do.
The colt should be well cared for and
well fed from the day of his birth until
he is a mature horse ready for market
First impressions are most lasting in
man or beast. Animals can never be
made to unlearn habits which are once
acquired.
A few feeds of bran mash, carrots or
other roots, given to a horse of his
feed or slightly ailing, will generally
bring him around all right
If we would fatten the work horse
for market, we take him off his oats
and bran and put him upon corn and
oil meal just so are we learning much
about feeding cows for beef or milk.
Good mixers are invariably thin, while
others with the same food get fat and
produce less milk.-Southern Cultiva-

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.

Nebraska Farmers Are Making the Crop
Pay Fairly Well.
The live question among farmers now
is what can be done to make farming
pay? If sugar beet growing pays in
Nebraska may it not be made profitable
in other grain-growing states? 1t is
an interesting question. What, then,
arc they doing in that state that is
taking the lead in this industry? The
season is so far advanced that a pretty
close estimate of the beet-sugar prod
uct may be made, and the output of
the great Oxnard factories is expect
ed to reach a total of 5000, 900 pounds
from IS 900 tons of beets. This is about
twice large a field as that of 1895,
ard nearly three times great that
of 1894. At the same time the number
of farmers who have cultivated beets
has increased with like rapidity. In
1894 only about 500, and in 1895, 1900
engaged in the business, but the pres
eDt year the number reached about
1000. The average yield has been about
IL tons of beets to the acre, and the
price per ton has ranged from four to
seven dollars. The latter 11gure was
paid for beets that contained the re-
markably high per cent. of 20; the lower
price was given for those that graded
only IL per cent. of sugar. The amounts
received by the growers ranged from
S44 to SIT per acre. The average amount
of beets grown by each farmer was
only about 81 tons, showing that less
than four acres were planted, on the
average. But the profit from this small
area was from $3.50 to SaOo-more, prob
ably, than that derived from all the re-
mainder of the farm.
1t is an interesting fact that in all
the foreign sugar-beet growing coun-
tries, including France, Germany and
Russia, this industry is steadily increas-
ing. In the last-named country the in
crease last year was nearly 20 per cent.
over the amount grown in previous
years. The subject is certainly well
worthy of consideration by our farm
ers.-Indiana Farmer.

How to Tell Fresh Eggs.

A correspondent of the Dakota
Farmer asks rs there any sure way of
distinguishing perfectly fresh eggs
from tainted ones, or those that have
been set upon by hens for several days?
Gambling is quite a sure method, but if
there is any other 1 would be glad to
know it," The following reply is
given: ITO the experienced eye the
roughish or granulated surface of the
perfectly fresh egg distinguishes it at
once from the more shiny or polished
surface of the one that has been under
the hen day or two. We can pick out
every fresh egg among a nestful of
those that have been sat on two days,
even in the dark. The secret is very
simple. Just scratch over the surface
with the finger nail, if it CRATES the egg
is fresh, but if the nail slides smoothly
the egg is old. A little practice makes
this a sure test"

MARKETING TURKEYS.
Birds of Medium Size and Weight A
the Best Sellers.

Birds of Medium Size and Weight Are
the Best Sellers.
We can offer a pointer on marketing
turkeys that we discovered while buy
ing Christmas turkeys in the city mar
ket, and that is the superiority of
medium-sized turkeys over 20 to "a
Founders. as sellers. People, as a rule,
do not want enough turkey at one time
to lay banquet spread, and conse-
quently they pick for something small,
or not exceeding medium in size.
The hen turkeys always sell first,
simply because they are more suited in
size to the wants of the ordinary fam
lily. Then the smaller gobblers go, and
lastly the pride of the hock-the big
gest tom in the lot-and he usually goes
at discount of two or three cents a
pound less than the lesser weights.
A turkey that weighs from ten to fif-
teen pounds dressed is plenty large
enough. The people don't want a tur-
key as big as a hog. but they do want a
fat turkey.
1t seems to us that there is a good deal
of room for improvement in breeding
turkeys for the market. That bird
shorter in legs and neck, and very full
in the breast, would be more desirable.
One that would be meaty and plump,
and capable of taking on a great deal
of fat.
The heavy weight, tall. rawboned
toms that weigh 25 to 40 pounds may be
suited to a barbecue feast, but they
are not the kind that the man with an
ordinary size market basket looks for
when he goes to the city market.
There would be more demand, and
better sale for turkeys all the year
through, if they were grown more with
view to compact body. meat and fat,
than for large size and coarse structure.

Wonderful Work OF Bees.

Bees must, in order to collect pound
Of clover honey, deprive $4,000 clover
blossoms of their nectar. To do this
the 1000 flowers must be visited by an
aggregate of 3,75o,000 bees. Or, in
other words, to collect it's pound of
honey one bee must make $3.50 900
trips from and to the hive. The enor-
NOUS amount of work here involved
preciudes the idea of anyone that enc
bee ever lived long enough to gather
more than fraction of a pound of nee
tarine sweets. AS bees are known to
fly for miles in quest of suitable fields
of operation, it is clear that a single
ounce of honey represents millions OF
miles of travel. 1t is no wonder that
these Industrious little insects have
earned the reputation of being '.busy'

THE FARMING WORLD.
SELLING COMB HONEY.

A simple Plan That Has Been Success
fully Used for Years.
There is need for a good, cheap and
substantial way to put up small guam
titles of comb honey to preserve it from
being broken until the purchaser can
get it to his home. The plan that one
beekeeper has used for ten years and
gives an illustrated description of in
the American Bee Journal may not be
the best, but il is convenient and eff
fective when the material can be OBJ
tanned with little trouble and expense.
Here is what he says about his method:
What use is called basket splints"
at the shops I think almost any bas-
ket shop will sell the material very
cheaply if you will order it at a time
when they are the least crowded with
other work, say in the winter or early
spring. The size 1 use is about IT

WINTER MATCHING.

Everything Considered. There Is Not Much
Money in 1t.
Eggs are too valuable in winter to be
used for Matching purposes unless one Is
confident of securing good matches and
of raising the chick, says the Mirror and
Farmer. To use a dozen eggs from
which only six chicks come, and then
lose three of them, means an expendl-
ture of four eggs for one chick, and no
one can afford the cost in that respect.
The heaviest loss of chicks is with hens
not with incubators and breeders
and this fact should not be overlooked.
1t is admitted that in the spring and
summer when the hen has everything in
her favor she will be more serviceable
when cold winds, ice, snow and rains
prevail. the hen has difficult undertake
ing to care for herself instead of at
tempting to raise a brood, and as rule,
the hens are fortunate if they raise one
half of the chicks Matched.
When a hen becomes broody make her
nest in a warm place, and when she
brings off her brood have place pre-
pared for her, under shelter and where
the sunlight can come. Be careful that
the chicks are not exposed or become
chilled, and aim to raise everyone of
them. In that case the chicks will pay
because the expense of the eggs used
will be reduced by reason of the larger
number of chicks marketed.

up number of these packages so a Gus
toner does not have to wait for it to be
done. By putting up packages contain
ing one, two, three, four, five and six
sections each you will be able by COM
bining these to give the customer the
exact amount he may want. You can
put it up in packages containing an ex-
act amount, 25-cent, 5O-cent or 81
packages or almost any other
amount, as the sections will vary lit
tie in weight, and you can select the
ones that will make it come about even
for the price you may need. L
sell the most 50-cent and one-doi-
lar packages. Some of the pack
ages have a convenient handle or
bail to carry them by. These are
for the foot folk and those on BIZ
cycles or those who go on the train and
wish to take a package to a friend.
This bail is made by cutting the twinc
long enough to weave back and forward
a few times. 1t pays to make it easy
and convenient for a customer to handle
these packages. IIe gets his honey
home without breaking the cappings or
having any mess about it and is much
more likely to want more.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
PORTABLE HOG PENS.

Those Who Have Tried Them Pronounce
Them Great Success.
In order to be successful in wintering
swine, both old and young. it becomes
necessary for many hog raisers to give
tie question of sleeping quarters more
serious attention. Many a lot of nice,
thrifty shoats go into winter quarters
only to come out in the spring having
barely held their own in weight and
growth, and perhaps are somewhat
stunted. Wintering hogs in large
Groves and around strawstacks is not
conducive to best results. One great
objection to the practice of many
farmers in allowing large numbers to
nest together is that they pile up in
cold weather, in which condition they
generate a good deal of moisture
What farmer but what has seen the
steam rising from a nest of swine?
When they come forth from such a
condition on a cold winter morning
they are very apt to take cold. When
they leave the nest wet and warm and
go out into exactly the other extreme

pressed financially could not afford to
keep poor stock, it is at present The
poorer the farmer is the more neces-
sity there is for keeping only the best
stock, because it is the only kind in
which there is any profit. Only rich
men can afford to keep scrubs. 1t re-

If the farmer does not have balance
