the following from a leafiet puDiisneS-
by one of the lending record
lions should be observed:
A short. convenient name should Do
written on the pedigree before ~ =
sent for record. If it is too long -
will be abbreviated before the pear

About the most important consider
alton is to have the names ano ao
dresses written plainly. Too little at
tention is paid to this matter and nu-
nerous errors result.
Give exact date OF farrow. number N
litter and number of each sex rsslsed-
The latter is most important, as = Rec
ord is kept in the office of each 4lre-
ter to which a pedigree refers when
received, and all pedigrees for thls
litter after sent in must agree in every
particular.
Always give sex, as it is in many
cases impossible to tell by the mans
whether the animal is male or female.
Nothing need be given regarding sire
and dam, except their names and num-
bers, but great care should be taken
to have these correct. If the sire was
owned at time of service by another
party this should always be stated
In giving owner of sire, give his.
owner at time of service. In giving
owner of dam give her owner at time
the litter was narrowed The breeder
of litter is the person who owns, or
has the dam leased at time of service.
There is no exception to this rule. u
the dam is sold after being bred and
before she farrows, pedigrees for her
litter should be made out as bred by

service and sold sin dam" to the per-

The name of the person signing q

the upper part of the pedigree. either
in the space for 'bred by or "sold in

to this as there are more errors ON

any other. No pedigree will be filed for

send the pedigree as exactly made out
and signed by the breeder. DO not

POISONOUS POTATOES.

An AIkaloid Called SoIanine Does Great
Damage Sometimes.
It is not very rare to see serious ac-
cidents happen by poisoning from the
use of potatoes in places where food is
supplied by contract, as in schools.
prisons and barracks, and establishment
is expressed that this precious and
highly-estimated food stuff should be
capable of doing much damage. It is
well to know that the potato, even when
absolutely sound, contains certain
amount of vegetable alkaloid called
solanine.
The remarkable point IS that this SOL
anime is much more abundant in sum-
mer than in winter; whereas it amounts
to o.O44 per kilogramme from November
to February, it reaches the figure of
O.236 in July and August This evil
would not be very great if the Produc-
ton of the alkaloid were not still fur
Their increased by the process of germi-
nation and putrefaction of the potato.
The use of potatoes deteriorated in this
way may give rise to cases of poisoning
CHARACTERIZED by vomiting, diarrhoea,
fever, dilated pupils, commissions and
profuse sweating.
It is usually in the months of June
and July that these accidents occur, at
the moment when the potatoes of the
preceding year have begun to terminate
and rot.
1t is, therefore, necessary to watch
these supplies in the most careful man
ner, and to refuse potatoes that show
any black or softened spots or that have
begun to terminate. AS general thing
potatoes used IN eating should be as
fresh as possible.-European Edition

they will bend at the scored places and
not break off. To score the splints in
the right place use blocks of thin Ium-
Der cut the right size to score where L
want them scored. These blocks lay
on the splints and score along each
edge of the blocks with the point of d
knife. The number of sections sold is
set out, and then the splints are scored
just right for that number of sections
Then the splints are wrapped around
the sections and tied with Irvine; then
a paper is wrapped around the package
and again tied with Irvine. This makes
a good, solid package, and the custo-
mer cannot easily stick his fingers into

plete. The wire is then stapled onto
the posts; and by taking pains to have
all the trees the same distance apart,
the fence, with the two by four-inch
posts, can be removed by taking out
the keys that hold them on, to any por-
ton of the farm where trees are pre-
pared for them.
This makes very substantial and
durable fence, lasting from 25 to 80
years. The trees need not cost anything
more than little time and attention,
as they can be obtained by planting
the seed from the incest apples; and
the fruit will more than repay for the
cost of the fence in a few years.
Such fence should be along every
public highway, as it would give the
road and fields an attractive and home
like appearance.-Farma and Fireside.

BARNARD FEEDING RACK

one has a rough fodder that he must
feed out, advantage can be taken, on
many summer days, of this liking ON
the part of stock for out-of-door eat
ing. An easily made and convenient
rack for such out-of-door feeding in
shown in the cut. 1t can be reached by
the stock from four sides, and the last
mouthful can be reached, as the bottom
is close to the post in the center.
With the sides spread still more,
large stock can feed from the outside.
and smaller stock further. in under the
sides. These sides are made of sepa-
rate pieces, four in all, and each side
is held up by ropes or chains attached
to the post. The sides may hook to-
cether at the bottom.-N. Y. Tribune.

hole bored near each end, leaving the
spaces between them all of equal dis
tances apart. Then make bolts about
nine inches in length, sharpened at one
end, and with two holes drilled in the
other, two inches apart. as shown in
illustration. They can be made very
cheaply. They are driven into the

How to Dig /. Farm Wen.

Before digging well it is well to
look and see what kind of trees are
growing near it, Locust trees will send
their roots q distance of Is to 20 feet for
water, and if a well is within that dis
lance they will surely get into it if the
well is walled with stones In driven
well, of course, the water can only get in
at the bottom. and this is a much better
and cheaper way of putting down wells
than the oId-fashioned one of digging
out the earth by hand.

Capacity of a Corn Crib.

1t is safe rule in estimating the size
of crib to allow two cubic feet to each
bushel of corn. By a cubic bushel il
meant 20 pounds of ear corn, which IL
equivalent to sc pounds of sheIIed corn.
The rule is to allow IA pounds for coh
in the fall, and IL pounds in the spring
after the corn has been dried out per-
fectly. Two cribs 80 feet long, six feet
wide and ten feet high, will by this
rule hold 1900 bushels. Ten feet in
too high to throw corn easily with =
scoop shovel, but there can be two OPEN
ings for each crib extending down to
within four or five feet of the floor, and
when the crib is full to the bottom of
these, short boards can be placed across
them, the crib is filled, and most OF
the filling can be done with ease When
the cribs must be filled to the top. q
boy or man can throw corn back to the
ends and fill it, SO as to utilize ali the
space.-Rural World.

For Barnyard Feeding This Device Is to
Be Highly Recommended
Every farmer has proved true the
idea that cattle will eat out of doors
rough fodder that they would scorn to
touch when standing in their stalls. The
fresh air and the changed surround
ings probably account for this freaki-
ness on the part of the cattle. Eating
out of doors is sort of picnic. When

Diversified Production Pays.

Diversified production on the farm
not only increases the opportunity for
profit, but lessons the risk of failure.
With the average farmer the farm
should be made to produce nearly or
quite all that the family consumes, and
a surplus for market will often prove
decided advantage Dairying on the
farm can, with a little good manage
ment, be made to bring in regular in
come every week during the year, and
while the amount each week may not
be very great, it will be sufficient to
materially help keep up the running
expenses.-Southern Cultivator.
