fixed houses, conveniences for water
ing, feeding, cleaning, ETC., can be intro
duced, which it would not be feasible to
introduce into movable houses. By
providing two yards for each pen, which
can be done with a little foresight in
laying out the hennery, the objection to
foul earth can be overcome.
These yards can be used on alternate
years, the year in which they are not
used by the fowls geing devoted to the
growth of a crop of clover. By having
portable fences, and the yards upon OPP
posite sides of the house, the cost of
fencing will not be appreciably in
creased, and the ground upon which the
hens have run can be plowed and sowed
without difficulty. Raising crop for
one year takes out all the noxious quail
tiles from the soil. 1t is, therefore, a
question whether 1t is advisable to
adopt movable houses or not.
If one decides to adopt such houses,
and intends to keep large number OF
fowls, we think the colony plan one of
the best which has been devised. The
houses, for winter use, however, should
be provided with a floor. During the
winter they can be drawn together SO
as to avoid large amount of travel in
caring for the fowls.-Country Gentle

quired. 1t is only necessary, then, to
lutte the joint with clay, as seen in Fig.
2, to make it tight and keep it in place.
Greater security against getting out
of place may be secured by ring
around the hole in the collector, laid on
when green, and burned SO as to form a
part thereof. The form of special piece
shown in Fig. 2 may be used for a
joint at different levels, but in this case
the feeder-line requires a similar, but
smaller piece, closed at one end and hav-
ing hole made in it's fat side, and
two cross-pieces added to prevent the
sliding of the feeder, before burning
(see Figs. 3 and ~.
In laying drain pipe the last piece
of the feeder-line must always rest on
virgin soil; this insures its remaining
in place and the joint remaining tight.
Where the end piece of the feeder rests
securely on the collector, but insecurity
on the other end, the joint would be
opened by the setting of the pipe. A
very acute junction is to be avoided, as
the feeder would not have a firm bed;
when the lines would otherwise meet
at an. acute angle, there should be a
slight later detour made. Lastly, when
preparing for overlapping joints, the
laborer must be accustomed always to
make the trench bottom for the feeder
higher than that for the collector. The
vital point in successful tile drainage,
after the grades have been established,
is to give attention to properly laying
the tile.-Robert Grimshaw, in Amer

TRAINING THE COLT.

Frightening or 1ll-TreatinR Must BE
studiously Guarded Against.
When a colt has been left till three
or four years old, as is often the case,
before any attempts are made to ham
die him, it is wise TO devote, if possi-
ble, at least a month to the process of
gentling, as preliminary to actual
breaking. Frightening or ill-treating
such an animal must be studiously
guarded against. Speaking from
varied experience, the writer is con-
WINGED that to engage in any struggle
with young horse is in the hsghestde-
gree unwise if it can POSSIBLY be
avoided. The fight to halter strong
animal will give him a severe fright,
and one which it takes him a long
time to forget; and, besides this, if he
should succeed in breaking away Gur-
ing the effort to fix his halter, he will
become conscious of a victory gained
over his master-a fact which will not
soon be dispelled from his mind. The
knowledge of success in an attempt
to break away not only induces ob-
stinacy in future stages of his tuition,
but will also prompt him to resist by
every means in his power repetition
of the effort to halter him at the time.
When wishing to halter young horse,
there is no plan SO good as to moose
him quietly first of all, and the best
way of doing this is to drive him
gently through a partly open gate
preferably that of yard in which he
has been confined-where moose is
suspended by cotton in such manner
that he cannot pass out without lodg-
ing therope round his neck or shoulders.
The moose must be knotted so that it
cannot pull quite tight round the neck,
while the loose end should be IS or
20 feet long When the animal has
been driven back to the yard, the end Of
the rope can be secured and the moose
drawn close up to the head. If a
steady pull is kept upon the rope, the
horse will turn and face his trainer,
who should approach him quietly and
gradually. If the animal is very nerv-
Gus, wait for a few minutes without
moving, and then again approach him,
always keeping the rope taut. When
at last within reach, rub his ears and
forehead with the halter for awhile
and then slowly place it in position.
He should next be coaxed into the
stable, or wherever it is wished to tie
him up. A young horse must never
be forced into building of which he
is suspicious. If he is led up to the
ioor, and the trainer, allowing six or
seven feet of rope, stands inside, and
keeps a gentle tension on the halter,
the animal will eventually make up his
mind to enter, although 1t may take
him half an hour to do so-London

Pork Produced from Corn Alone Ii Not

Pork Produced from Corn Alone Ii 1sot
the Best Product.
''Corn is not so exclusively the feed OF
hogs at any age as it used to be. Instead
of growing pigs on their swill with pas
cure, and thus stunting their early
growth, itais the pftagtice' Of the best
Farmers to begin the high feeding from
birth, keeping the pigs always in con-
dition for the butcher, and topping of
the last few weeks with a clear corn
diet. Many farmers" according to
American Cultivator, prefer that pork
for their own use shall not be thus
topped off. 1t is sweeter but less firm
in texture, containing more moisture.
This, however, only means that the pig
killed after being fed SO as to waste
in cooking is by that fact shown to be
in healthy condition. All animals in
perfect health are composed largely OF
water. This is evaporated when inter
nal fevers evaporate the internal mois-
ture, and the meat is then said to be
firm, solid and will waste little in cook
ing. Whenever pork of this kind is not
wanted. it should be fattened with
boiled vegetables or fruit mixed with
wheat middlings and bran to make the
right proportion of heterogeneous mat
ter. We have often more than half fat
tened hogs on boiled pumpkins and
windfall apples. and never had pork

Mortgages on Feeding Stock.

There are few experiences in bust
ness, however unsatisfactory they may
be, that do not in the end teach a valu-
able lesson or result in some good.
Thus the difficulty in getting money
which the western feeders now expert
enece may yet result to their advan
tage by inaugurating a new system Of
credit in such business, whereby the
feeder will not be SO dependent upon
the ability or the disposition of the
banker to accommodate him. 1t is now
possible for the western feeder to get
cattle to consume his grain by giving
a mortgage on both cattle and corn,
thus making the seller perfectly safe
and paying him good interest on his
money. This is now only makeshift
to overcome the difficulty of borrow
ing money, but it and other credit ex-
pedients now necessary may be useful
in future business.-Nationa Stock

reason that the public demanded their
passage. This unconstitutional busi-
ness, the senator said, was getting to
be the fad, and the wishes Of the gen
eral public in the interests Of economy
were being overlooked. In view of the
decision Of the courts and the law
which prevented special legislation, the
senator saw no other relief than that
provided under the Sheehan charter
bill. There were several things he had
in mind which would, he thought, be
of much moment to the public welfare,
but he did not care to discuss them
before the delegation had met and
talked over matters.
Senator OZmun says there is little
need Of legislation for the city or coun-
ty. With few amendments to the
Howard charter bill, such as having
the mayor appoint the chief of police,
the chief Of the fire department and the
members Of the board Of water COM
missioners, and also fixing the limit
to be expended by the various depart
ments annually. Senator Ozmun was in
favor of having the law made absolute
without having it voted on by the peo-
pie This, however, was only his per-
sonal views on the question, and as he
had not conferred with his colleagues.
