A Four.Footed Bird.

The Connecticut River sandstone II
the geological wonderland OF the New
England States. The Bad Lands OF
Wyoming and South Dakota have rocks
and fine clsys that are literally filled
with the remains of antedeluvian mou-
sters, but they all appear to have be-
longed to the order of four.footed
mammalia. The prehistoric monsters
of the Connecticut Valley were also OF
the four-footed kind, but were prob
ably the Oldest creatures of that class
that ever walked. These old-time
freaks were birds of size larger than
any horse that now exists; but, birds
though they were, they walked on four
legs, just as any other quadruped
does. No remains of these creatures
have ever been found other than their
tracks. dozens of which have been
found on sandstone and carefully got
ten out and sent to the large museums
of the world. The bird tracks recent
ly found at Hastings, England, are
as canary tracks to those of an ostrich
when compared with the gigantic i'm
pressions left by the four.footed bird
of the Connecticut Valley.

the nights milk. All that need 60 in
to the house is the sweet, fresh cream,
thus Tightening the labor there.
The diluted skim milk is fed TO the
pigs, the costly butter fat extracted
from it being replaced by the cheaper
fat in corn meal in such proportions
as are needed to feed to growing or
fattening stock. No time is lost ana
no power or labor required by the dl-
luto process. -,
As soon az the milk is mixed with
the cold water, the separation goes on
naturally while the farmer may be at
tending TO other duties. In this way
farmers can manufacture their supply
into butter for time and regulate
the supply of milk sent to market and
by cooperation control the price, in
stead of having the contractors die.
tate the price they shall take.
The following extracts are from. a
letter written by the late T. s. Has
kell, of Belchertown. In his expert
ence creaming by dilution was very
satisfactory: 81 have been on farm
most of my life, have invested in some
Improvements and theories, and had
about come to the conclusion to de-
sert farming as it cost so much to keep
up with new and expensive theories
and machines. I last invested in a
creamery as the me plus ultra for
butter making. The summer Of 1890
came and no Ice, as none over four
inches thick was gathered. I thought
to try water in milk and began in
August when milk would sour in eight
hours with scarcely cream enough to
say cream. I followed it two weeks
with one dollars worth more butter.
Then I remodeled my cans and ex-
perimented in contrast with ice cream
cry and found results in every respect
without ice equal to those with ice.
The past summer I have followed the
same idea and have reduced more than
half the work for the housewife.
"The expense is not as much as the
old way of pans. strain the can
half full CT milk then fill up with cooi
water, say ffty-six degrees Farenheit
or less, set in cool shady place, out
of doors if you please, but cover so no
dust or flies can get in.
'1n two hours draw off the milk;
you have all the cream you can get
anyway; churn cream as near sweet
as you can, wash in granular state,
salt to your customers taste; you
have all the butter your COW can make.
Save your hard work, getting ice, as
you do not require ice by the ton for
the season as water of ffty-six degrees
or less is all you need"
The quantity of milk that can be
worked by this process per day de-
pends on the number or size Of the
cans or vats used; this again will de-
pend on the number of COWS in the
dairy. The less number of cans or
vats used the less labor to keep them
clean and sweet as large can will take
but little if any more time for care
than smaller one.
Cream should not be churned on the
day that it is taken from the milk, but
should be we'll stirred and allowed to
ripen evenly before it is put into the
churn.
One advantage of churning the
cream sweet is, that the butternilk is
very sweet and rich. Farm, Field and

NEW BELTS AND COLLARS.

Some girls have as many Us ten sets
of collars and belts for their gowns,
and as eacn set requires two yards and
three-quarters of ribbon from four to
six inches wide, costing from thirty to
seventy.five cents yard, it is an easy
matter to put SO in these becoming
trihes as light us air, but stylish and
becoming withal.
Points or square tabs of lace, in
twos or fours, hang over the tops OF
collars; then a plated ruch of lace,
tulle, etc., finishes the inside edge Of
many collars, and all Of this is climaxed
with folded band of ribbon tied in
two loops and ends at the back, so n

SEPARATING CREAM WITH COLD WATER.
Butter made from cream raised In
submerged cans has not that delicacy
of favor of butter from cream raised
in open cans, and is readily detected
by a critical observer.
4 method is fast coming into use
which is simple, inexpensive, a saving
OF ice and labor, reduces the cost Of
making butter one-half, preserves the
quality CT the open cans, and saves
time as we'll as the mechanical sepa-

POULTRY NOTES.
Feed the chicks cut grass every day

Feed the chicks cut grass every day.
You can't feed your young stock
too much.
Mark your best chicks. You'll wish
you had, in the fall.
The incubator is fast displacing the
hen as a hatcher of chicks.
One good meal day is enough, now,
for fowls that have anything like a
good range in which to forage.
If you don't want to take the time
and trouble to treat your fowls de-
Gently you had better 20 out of the
business.
Coal oil all the nests once week
during the warm weather and burn all
the nesting material and then replenish
with new.
Newly cut grass as soon as it is
thoroughly wilted will make excellent
nesting material. Cut it before the
heads get ripe.
Set your hen on the bare ground, in
hot weather. She will be more COM
Portable and will hatch more chicks,
and not get lousey.
All drinking vessels should now be
thoroughly washed out every night.
An occasional cleansing of them all
with lime or soda water will also be in
order.
Even at ten cents dozen your hens
are bringing in more money now than
in winter when they were twenty-five
cents, for the hens lay tour times
as many eggs now.
Now look out for lice. Don't be
afraid to sprinkle kerosene all around
the inside OF the house, especially in
the roosting places, on the perches,
and dust the nests with insect powder.
Eternal vigilance will now be the
price OF chickens. Vermin swarm in
hot weather, and the flock that has
to combat with vermin pests and hot
weather will soon become an exceed
ingly sorry-looking one.
When you send away for eggs, if
you hatch eight or nine out of the
setting you are doing splendidiy.
Don't expect too much. When the
eggs arrive it is best to let them stand
twelve hours, to settle, after the jolt.
ing they have had en- route.
The fowls that commence to moult
in hot weather should be fed very
little grain, and whole corn should be
avoided. Oats, boiled, are best of all
the grains now. Late setting hens, If
set in hot places. will suffer unless
something is done TO afford O chance
for air to circulate and keep down the
temperature.
a space should be spaded up every
other day-before sunrise IS the best
time SO that the young chicks that
are weanet can find space to scratch
and hunt for insects. When it is done
first scatter oats, 40 as to spade them
under. By the time they are about
to come up the space will he in prime
condition to be respaded, and will
furnish tender bits OF sprouts that all
the flock will appreciate.
Clean out oil the ccops and houses
every morning early, and let the sun
shine in the house awhile early IN the
morning to help sweeten up things.
It will add to the comfort of the hens
to have curtains or some other means
to help keep the sun out from their
houses in hot weather. Poultry suffer
greatly from lack of shade and fresh
water. See that good shade is acces'
sibIe to the focks, and that plenty OF
fresh water is handy, and that it is
frequently replenished. =:

The studding inside and the inner
lining are not shown. The sill is ten
by six inches. This gives a space of
ten inches between the inside and the
outside walls. The surface of the
ground is leveled down to the solid
earth, the foundation for the wall is
dug out foot or more, and the wall
laid up as shown, to a foot above the
surface. The floor is then cemented
over with three inches OF concrete,
and this is carried up on to the wall,
the sill being bedded in it to make
this part completely air and water
tight. The studs are covered outside
with dressed siding, laid on tarred
paper, and the inside is lined with
matched stuff, also on tarred lining
paper. This makes a perfectly air
tight wall, and consequently frost
proof as we'll. Or the inside lining
may be doubled, with the airproot
paper, between. The round silo is by
far the best for cheapness, strength,
and soliditY. If 1t is connected with
O barn there should be a passageway
to it of three or four feet, into which
the doors will open for taking out the
ensilagc. The silo is best filed from
the top by means of an elevator con
nected with the cutting machine out
side.-New York Times.

poultry netting is fitted into the wire
rectangle. This, laid upon the grain
in the box prevents the horse taking
too large mouthfuls. 1t falls, OF
course, as the grain is eaten. Where
the grain for the horses ration IS
poured into the manger, the same end
may be secured by mailing parallel
strips of wood across the bottom of
the manger. 1t is much better, how
ever, to feed in a box which can be
washed out occasionally, for where
soft feed, especially. is turned into a
manger, the latter is likely soon to be-
come sour. ur.-American Agriculturist.

FOUNDATION FOR A sILO.

The foundation for q silo must be

be most carefully made. As thus
