During this season there have been a
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 almost as
a poison, and affects the bones, causing
pains 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 viii
overfeeding. When the hens have good
appetites, and appear well except un-
able to move freely, remove them from
the male, as often his attentions are the
cause of the difficulty. Prairie Farmer.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Lime on dry soils will show it's effect
at once and one application will show
for years.
1t is better to hold your corn, if you
can. There is little use in selling at
present prices.
If your hay is dusty wet it before
giving it to horses. Dusty hay is a
source of great injury to horses.
It is worth while to take extra pains
to keep the rats out of the corn crib. It
is good plan to nail projecting tin
around the edges.
Taking all things into consideration,
the matted row system of growing
strawberries is the most profitable,
especially if care is taken not to let
the plants grow too thick in the rows.
A ST. Louis paper thinks that the corn
crop has been over-estimated to the ex-
tent of 60O,OOO,OOO bushels. That is a
pretty high figure, but that the crop
has been over-estimated we do not
doubt. Crop reports are nearly always
exaggerated to keep prices down. The
potato crop is also over-estimated in
our Judgment Farmers Voice.

ELECTRIC soIL-TEsTER.

Clever Invention for Determining the
Amount of Moisture.
The well-known fact that damp
searth is a better conductor of cleo
tricity than dry earth is the basis of an
apparatus invented by Prof. Milton
Whitney, chief of the division of soils
in the agricultural department, which
he thinks will be valuable aid in pro-
ducing the best results from the culti-
walton of soil. The plates, construct
ed of the material which forms the car
bon points in arc lights, are sunk in the
ground at any desired depth. A cur
rent of electricity is then passed from
one to the other, and an instrument
measures in ohms the resistance which
the soil between the plates makes to
the passage of the current. A table
prepared from the results of many ex-
periments shows at a glance the per-
centage of moisture in the soil.
The apparatus will be especially val
liable in dollhouse culture, in Prof.
Whitney's opinion, for in that the con-
ditions are best for regulating the
proportion of moisture, but the amount
of moisture in the fields can be regu-
lated to a greater degree by cultiva-
ton. This is particularly SO in sec
tions of the country where irrigation
is practiced. BY the use of this appar-
atus, which is simple and compar-
atively inexpensive, the farmer can ac-
curately determine what crop is best
adapted to the soil of each field, and
thus make his labor and investment
count for the most in results. From
series of experiments conducted last
summer Prof. Whitney has practically
demonstrated that when pasture land
shows less than one-third per cent. of
moisture it has reached the danger
line, and severe drought is immi-

Hens Need a supply of Salt.

We have referred to the matter of
furnishing salt for fowls in these coll
llmns 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. 1t 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.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Nearly all of the nonsitting breeds
lay white eggs.
Unusually large eggs denote that the
hens are too fat.
One way of preventing gapes is tic
feed on a clean surface.
Do not try to keep too many. Hens
that are crowded will not lay.
The earliest maturing fowl of the
larger breeds is the Langshan.
If chicks are raised in brooder care
must be taken to keep the heat uni.
form.
Gather the eggs regularly now, other
wise they are liable to become frozen
and broken.
Small fiocks, well cared for, will give
the best results. Fifty is as many as
should be together.
When the hens are closely confined
they will thrive better if they can have
something to do.
In selecting young pullets for breed.
ing take the early Matched. They will
bring stronger, healthier chickens.
The fact should be kept in mind that
the excess of food over what is required
for maintenance and egg production
will go to fat.
The purposes for which fowls are fed
are several, and each purpose requires
the food most naturally suited to it in
order to secure the best results.-St
Louis Republic.

Quality Must Be Kept Up.

It is of the utmost Importance that
we maintain the quality of our live
stock, and the only way to do this is
to strive hard to improve it. Good beef
never lacks demand either at home or
abroad. In fact it is potent influ-
ence in creating that fellow feeling
which makes a mortal wondrous kind. %
The Britisher has a warm spot in his
heart for good bit of American roast,
though he may not tell about it, and
the American epicure keenly relishes
n bit of English mutton, well prepared,
though he may not tell about it either.
Our export trade in live stock and
meats has reached enormous proper
tions. Our products, however, have to
stand sharp competition in the world S
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.

two hay mows each 16x5Oh feet and
% feet to the square. The arrangement
of hay and straw tunnels and of gran
airy and feed bins is given in the cut,
and will be found to be convenient for
all purposes intended. The two hay
mows which, owing to their great
height, hold a large amount of hay,
are first filed. Then the wheat crop
is placed on floor No. 1. The oats crop
can be stored on overheads of floor No.
2 and on the wheat. When the crops
are thrashed the machine is set on floor
No. 2, and the straw passed directly into
the straw loft, which is large enough
to hold it all. Floor No. may then be
used for storing the cornfodder. The
granary is conveniently situated for
running the grain into the wagons be-
low. Underneath the straw shed is am
pie space for storage of all manure un-
til it is removed to the fields. The APP
pie cellar may be used for storage of
potatoes.
AS planned this barn should face the
east. If, however, conditions prevail
which necessitate its facing the south,
then the straw shed should be built to
the other side of the barn, which will
permit the morning sun to enter the
stable yard and will also place the shed
on the west, where it will serve as a
protection from prevaining Winds

ton and then in the other. To each
half of shaft is rigidly secured a
blade or sail, in such manner that
when one of the pair stands upright
the other will be lying down. A simple
and ingenious attachment rocks these
shafts and automatically raises and
lowers the blades, according to the re-
quirements of the service. The sails
are ''feathered" as skillful boatman's
oars are.
An important feature of the latter
wind engine is that he has provided
for the storage of power. The force
developed by his machine operates so
as to lift a heavily weighted platform.
ANY expenditure of this force tends
to lower the burden. Elevation of the
latter to it's full height involves about
half a days work. Grist mills, pumps,
dynamos and other mechanical or cleo
trical devices dependent on the wind
engine for power can be run for few
hours during a calm if the storage plat
form has been previously raised to the
top notch, say, during the night.-N. Y.

is larger than the Pekin. It is gen
orally considered more graceful, the
body being long and well balanced, car
rying it's weight both forward and aft
instead of merely the latter, like the
American favorite. The plumage of the
Aylesbury should be spotless white,
the legs of deep orange hue, and the
bill of peculiar fesh-colored tint. The
last is strongly insisted upon, and any
birds whose bills are slightly off color
will fail to bring the highest prices,
even though otherwise without blem-
ish. The reason for this prejudice is
the general opinion that the flesh of
the purc-bred Aylesbury is more deli
cately favored than that of any other
kind
Aylesbury ducks have degenerated
somewhat in size in this country, ow-
ing to too much inbreeding; but by
careful selection this tendency may be
obviated. Where there is plenty of
clear water so as to enable it to keep
clean, this is a very valuable breed.
The ducks are sociable, very easily
tanned, and cross we'll with either Rou-
ems or Pekins.-N. Y. World.

passed through the loop of this car
riage, over the pulley and downward,
the hook at the end of the rope taking
hold of the large ring of the hanger,

Grasses In the South.

One good result of the enforced
economy among southern planters is
the matter of grasses. For long time
the south was regarded as unfit for
grass production, although men here
and there demonstrated its falsity. Mr.
Hilyard, northern man, but for many
years resident of the south, proved by
actual and frequent experiments not
only was this section great grass
country, but perhaps the greatest in
the world. He showed that the south.
in her more favored regions, surpassed
the north in cultivation of the grasses
and forage crops grown there, and that
she had numerous plants of that kind
which the north could not successfully
produce. Tt has been proven by an
alysis, by facts and figures, that our
Bermuda grass is far more nutritious
than the famous timothy.-Augusta

Heavy Animals.

Simply Indispensable for the Hauling OF
Heavy Animals.
A convenient device for hanging
hogs is a valuable assistant in the hand
ling of heavy animals. The accom-
panying illustration represents the
principal parts of such continuance.
Stout posts Ca and b., seven or eight
inches square, are firmly fixed in the
ground about Is inches apart, and
stand ten feet or more in height. These
are connected above by hardwood
beam (c), three inches thick and ten
inches in depth, mortised into the posts
and held by pins OF bolts. At I, near the
post b, and directly over the platform
upon which the hog has been made
ready for hanging, 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 it or
removed. A number of carriages sim
liar to are made to run on the beam.
They consist of 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 f.
From the loop hangs chain about IS
inches in length. Through the post
an opening is cut just below the beam,
ard pulley (l1) inserted, over which
the rope is carried down to windlass
fixed on the post few feet from the
ground. A hanger (h) is provided for
each carriage. In this different length
of stick may be used as ''spreader,"
thus adapting it to larger or smaller
animals.
In working this device all the car
riages to be used are transferred to the
right end of the beam except one,

THE FARMING WORLD.
HlaH-PRIcED BACON.

Selection of the Best Breeds and Feeds
for This Purpose.
There are two aII-important matters
connected with the bacon trade which
are entirely in the hands of the farm
~ers, and which ought to receive every
attention, VIZ: the breeding and feed
ing of pigs, says an exchange. Dlffer-
.ent breeds suit different localities, and
while trying to impress upon the farm
ers the necessity of fresh blood and
careful attention to breeding it may be
well to warn them against attempting
to introduce new breed of pigs into
district. It is much the safer way for
farmers to aim at the improvement of
pigs which have been long bred in a
district than to attempt to introduce
new breeds.
While this is so, care ought to be
taken in the selection and introduction
from other districts of high-class male
animals to develop the points essential
in good pigs. Speaking generally,
short, dumpy boars and sows ought to
be avoided, as it will be found that
extra length of body not only adds
much to the weight of the carcass, but
insures larger proportion of lean
meat TO the gross weight. Every care
ought to be taken to prevent con-
:sanguinity or close breeding. The evil
effort of close breeding shows itself
sooner in the case of piga than in any
other of our domestic animals, and
therefore fresh blood is most essential.
In practice it will be found that we'll
shaped pig can be reared, fed and
brought, in a shorter space of time, to
a greater weight upon a smaller
amount of food than mongrel-bred
one, while the bacon aud hams cut
from the carcass of a weli-bred pig are
superior in quality and command a
higher price in the market. Even in
the heavily stocked markets of the
present day there is still room at the
top" and to-day there is still margin
in the wholesale and retail markets be-
tween the price of ordinary bacon and
hams and those classed as best quality.
The flesh of pigs is soft if fed on
brewery and distillery grains. Tur-
Aips and mangolds are unsuitable for
producing good bacon. The following
foods are suitable for producing good
bacon: Potatoes (cooked), milk, bar
ley meal, oatmeal and crushed oats.
pollard bran, wheat (ground), rye
meal, Indian corn fused sparingly),
ground and cooked.
It is said that one of the principal
reasons why Danish bacon has taken
such a hold on the English market, and
has been SO profitable to the farmers in
Denmark, is the fact that they have fed
their pigs largely on separated milk.
Nor is milk feeding new idea. For
generations the cottagers in Cumber-
land and Yorkshire have made point
of buying SKINNED milk for their pigs
for at least month before they were
killed for family use. Although seem
ingly an expensive food, the use of
milk has been found to add to the fla
vor of the meat and also to prevent
waste in cooking. When creamery
separated milk is available it may be
used fresh from the separators, but if
it has to be carried or kept over, it
ought to be heated to temperature of
100 degrees at the creamery imme-
diately after it is separated.
