Calling a Dog by Telephone.

An intelligent hunting dog who had
strayed away was found in New Hart

notified the dogs owner in Winsred.
The New Hartford man called up the
owner by telephone to arrange for re-
turning the dog. and while talking
asked the owner the dogs name Hold
him up to the telephone" was the re-
ply. The part OF the instrument was
put against the dogs ear, and the
owner called, Dash" The dog rec

stable Floors.
In the Western prairie states wood
is perhaps the most extensively used
material for flooring stables for stock.
1t is largely used on account of it's con-
yenience and general adaptability,
though there is a growing feeling that
it is on the whole quite unsatisfactory.
The plank floor is short lived: il is
made water tight with difficulty, and
above ali it is objectionable for horses
that are confined much to the stall.
For cattle and hogs the same objec-
tlons prevail to considerable degree.
Cement floors are gaining in favor and
are quite acceptable though rather ex-
peIsive. They should also be covered
with plank for horses. The cement
floors in the new station barn have
been in use over a year now and have
given good satisfaction. When well
bedded they are very satisfactory for
cattle. hogs and sheep. The station
floors were made by laying three
inches of concrete composed of five
parts OF clean, sharp sand to one O:

scrub cow gives perhaps one hundred
pounds of butter fat in a year, while
an improved COW produces three or

Another thing to think of is whether or
not the best and cheapest feeds are
being used. The dairyman must be
close observer and student of market

are the best feeds for his own purpose

Preventing Egg Eating.

In this issue T. S. Hatch asks how to
stop hens from eating eggs. The editor
Of the poultry department of the Farm
ers' Review can tell how he broke a
large flock of the habit. He took some
empty egg shells and filled them full
of a congiomeration made of lard,
cayenne pepper, salt. sugar. sulphur
and any harmless thing that would
tend to make the whole mass nauseat-
ing. The first two eggs OF this kind
put in the nests were eagerly de-
voured and the writer began 10 think
his plan was failure, but. knowing
nothing better to do, he kept on feed
ing the hens all the eggs of this kind
they would eat. His object was to dis
gust them with the taste of eggs. After
a few had been fed the hens objected
TO them, and left them alone. They had
evidently arrived at the conclusion
that eggs were not fit to eat after all.
No more trouble was experienced with
egg-eatiEg hens. Perhaps if they had
had feed of meat now and then they
would not have begun to eat the eggs.

Sound Breeding Animals.-The great
est drawback in the way of progress in
breeding and growing horses is the
stubbornness of men who stand in
their own light and refuse to change
practices, even when satisfied that gain
will follow. They cling to the old broken
down mares and persist in using the
cheapest stations. regardless of quail
ity. What a mating will be likely TO
insure is of minor consideration. SO that
a colt is bred. 1t is for this reason that
some of the more progressive breeders
have withdrawn their stations from
public service and admit only selected
mares owned by men who are seeking
to grow and develop the best. II there
is a dollar for the owner of a sound
brood mare, then he should seek to
avail himself of the most by the use of
none bu: the best.-Ex.

An ''amphibious'' boat is now in prac-
tical operation in Denmark. 1t does
service on two lakes which are separ-
ated by a narrow strip of land eleven
hundred feet in width, and over which
the boat travels ON rails laid for the
purpose. The guage of these rails is
four feet two inches. The boat is so
braced as to distribute the weight as
nearly as possible while on land as
while in the water. At the commence
ment of the land passage the boat runs
into a narrow dock, which guides the
wheels onto the rails, which are laid
under the water here to receive the
boat, a change of gear from the pro-
peller to the wheels is made and the
boat glides up the incline on the rails
at about two hundred to two hundred
and fifty feet per minute, and easily
and safely launches herself in the other
lake. The boat carries seventy passen-

liable to take cold. AS to construction
of poultry house there are various
things to be said. If you have a hill
that faces to the south, one good plan
is to excavate place there, after the
manner of building a basement barn.
This will give good warm house. An
other plan to keep the house warm,
is 10 line it inside and cut with build
ing paper. so that it will si-e a dead
air space. The paper should be under
the siding and sheetins. This is bet
ter than TO fill the space between the
studding with sawdust Or fine cut straw.
We would suggest that, where it is pos
sible to do SO. the building should be
located in a protected position. where
the force of the strong north winds will
be broken. These winds will penetrate
through every crack and crevice that
has been overlooked when the house
was built. 1t is rot so diff icult to keep
the temperature even when the weather
is calm. This is the main secret to
success in the winter time. especially if
you want healthy birds ana lots of eggs
