to strive hard to improve it. Good beef

Our export trade in live stock and
meats has reached enormous proper
tions. Our products, however, have to
stand sharp competition in the worlds
markets, and in order to hold our own
we have got to give close attention to
the healthiness of our live stock and to
its quality.-Farmers' Review.

An important feature of the latter

to lower the burden. Elevation of the

half a days work. Grist mills, pumps,

Taking all things into consideration,

Leg Weakness In Fowls. 4

During this season there have been d
very large number of complaints of leg
weakness in fowls. Heretofore it has
been very unusual. There are several
causes of leg weakness, among them
the feeding Of sulphur. If sulphur is
given in damp weather it acts almostas
a poison, and affects the bones, causing
pujns in the limbs similar to rheuma-
tism. We have experimental with its
use and found the results as stated.
Then again, dampness of the quarters
conduces to leg weakness, and so will
overfeeding. When the hens have good
appetites, and appear we'll except un-ss
able to move freely, remove them from
the male, as often his attentions are the
cause of the dificulty.-Prairie Farmer.

the direction of the wind, and the dot

will be seen that as each set of sails
come into the right position for work
they slow down gently against the
arm which supports them and carry
it with them half way around the cir

the free lateral edge of each and swings
them all out backward, SO that they
offer no. resistance as the armScomes

Hens Need a Supply Of Salt.

We have referred to the matter of
furnishing salt for fowls in these col
umns once or twice, and expressed our
belief that the moderate use of this
condiment is beneficial. Now we find
that by experiment in the New York
experiment station it has been. demon
strated that the use of salt at the rate
of one ounce to 100 hens each day is
beneficial, and at the trials the hens
that were fed salt produced more eggs
than those that were fed without salt
ing their feed. It has been our prac-
tice to salt all soft feed given to our
poultry, at about the rate food for hui
man use is sailed. This, we believe. is
about the proper condition in which to
give it, and that benefit will result We
are confident.-Farm and Fireside.

A convenient device for hanging
hogs is valuable assistant in the hand
ling OF heavy animals. The accom-
ranying illustration represents the
principal parts Of such q contrivance.
Stout posts Ga and By, seven or eight
inches square, are firmly fixed in tho
ground about 16 inches apart, and
stand ten feet or. more in height. These
are connected above by q hardwood
beam (c). three inches thick and ten
inches in depth, mortised into the posts
and held by pins or bolts. At t, near the
postab, and directly over the platform
upon which the hog has been made
ready for hanging, a small pulley is
suspended from the beam, using for
this purpose an eye bolt passing
through the beam but not above it. The
frame of this pulley should be large
enough that the hook on the end of the
rope may be readily put through 1t or
removed. "A number of carriages sim-
liar to e are made to run on the beam.
They consist of a hardwood roller four
inches in diameter and OF about the
same length, from which hangs long
iron loop inclosing the beam. This loop
should be wide enough below, and ex-
tend downward far enough that the
carriage may pass to the pulley at +.
from the loop hangs q chain about IS
inches in length. Through the post
an opening is cut just below the beam,
ard pulley (k) inserted, over which
the rope is carried down to windlass

each carriage. In this different length

animals.

single or separate Houses.

A long house, with apartments all
under one roof, with a wide passage
way. is a very convenient arrangement
for large flock (that is. each flock to
have house separated from the 9TH
iers) also possesses some advantages If
lice get into large house it will not
only be more difficult to rid thqprem-
Uses of them, but the attack upon the
flock will necessarily cause all the 9TH
.ers to be liable. With the single house
plan the lice can more easily be sub
idued, as one may contain lice willie
the others are exempt. We call atten-
ton to this matter because there is
something else to consider in a poultry
house other than its arrangement, and
that is its liability to attack from YER
