the whole pipe of water, and the time

" failure To overcome this well
pump must be used, bringing the cyl
inder near the bottom of the cellar
Then let the suction pipe turn upward,
as shown in the illustration, and pass
out through the cellar wall little high
er than the top of the cylinder. This
will cause water always to remain in
the pump and thus secure the pipe from
becoming empty. With this arrange
ment water may be drawn under
ground to where it is needed from a
distance of ten or twenty rods without
difficulty, except that it must be from a
point not more than rs feet lower than
the pump cylinder. If the kitchen is
subjected to freezing temperature in
the winter the pump may be protected
by making a small hole at "a" thus per-
mitting the water to escape down to
that point when the pump is not in use.

SAVE YOUR FIELDS.

III You Do Not Feed Your Land 1t Will
Refuse to Feed You.
why do you feed your horse?" If
that question were asked the average
farmer he would doubtless answer:
you are fool; I feed him to keep him
alive and able to work" But If the
question were asked: why don't you
feed your land?" the average farmer
would not be 80 ready with his answer.
Yet the one thing is no more important
than the other. If It is absurd to be
able to work and produce results hav-
ing no material to be converted into
strength, it is no less so to expect land
to produce crops continuously without
having new supplies Of plant food with
which to make them grow. No soil is
inexhaustible.
While there are large accumulations
of plant food in some localities, con-
tinuous cropping and the teaching and
washing caused by rains will in time
dep1ete and exhaust them. It is better
to feed the land before it is starved. It
is easier to keep a horse fat than to
fatten q poor one; and it is easier to
keep land productive than to take that
which is dead poor and make it so. A
horse that is still strong enough to as
simulate his food can soon acquire his
normal strength; he only wants plen-

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERs.

The first swarm is always the cream
of the colony.
1t is poor economy to store good white
honey in unclean vessels.
The Italians stick closely to the
combs even when handled.
After the first swarm issues cut out
all the queen cells but one.
Do not keep colony with a defective
queen. Kill her and give them a good
one. i.
Wherever farmer, dairyman or hor-
ticulturist can make living bee man
can also. ! .
One advantage with bees is that dur
ing the greater part of the year their
feed costs nothing. igE&
There are three classes of bees in a
thrifty colony, nurse bees, wax workers
and honey gatherers.
Always have extra hives to save every
swarm that comes out; often a little
delay will lose them.
Give the bees plenty of working
room if you want to. prevent small
If you will go through each colony
once a week and take out the queen
cells, a swarm will rarely come of.
While bee hives may sit out in the
sun all summer, it is better to shade
them on account of saving the honey.
Italian bees are generally admitted
to be superior to the black bees. They
are better workers and are more easily
controlled.
1t is good economy to use founda,-
tions during the honey season, as it
saves time that the bees would spend in
making comb. '-..>t v. ~-
Old queens are more inclined to
swarm than young ones; hence it is
often a good plan to- requiem with
young ones in the spring.
Bees swarm because they get so pop
ulous in the hive that there is not room
for them to store honey, rear brood or
be comfortable in the hive.
Especially in the middle of the day
when the bees are at work, approach a
hive from the sides or rear, so as not
to interfere with them in their fight.
Never leave a newly hived swarm
near the place where it. clustered. The
safest plan is to remove it at once to
a stand somewhat distant whether the
bees are all in or not--St. Louis Repub-
lie.

To Prevent Potato Rot.

When potatoes are already infected
with disease there is no way to make
them sound; they viii rot sooner or
later. Before putting potatoes into the
cellar they should be looked over care
fully and all affected ones removed, as

sometimes used tosprinkle over q bin OF
potatoes to absorb moisture and thus

Causes OF Swine Diseases.
As the hog il the most difficult of all
farm stock to give medicine to, pre-
vention will be found to be the best
remedy in most cases. Almost all dis
eases of swine may be traced to neg
lect, insufficient and unwholesome food
poor shelter. filthy, nauseous pens, u.
ing in dung heaps, inhaling large quan-
titles of deleterious gases, lying in cold,
wet beds and exposure to the inclem-
encies Of the weather, permitting too
many to sleep together and breeding to
animals that have been diseased, or in-
and-in breeding, the feeding Of smutty
corn, not providing clean, pure water
these are undoubtedly the principal
causes of disease in swine.

-
The profit is always sure when every
detail is correct. Cheap food must not
be estimated by the price paid for il
in the market. The cheapest food FOL
the poultryman or farmer is that which
gives him the largest number Of eggs
It matters not what the food costs, sc
long as.the eggs correspond. It is the
product by which we should measure
and estimate.
Green bones are not used as exten.
sively as they should be, because grair
can be obtained with less difficulty and
at q low cost, but as producing ma.
terial the bone is far superior to grain;
nor does the bone really cost more than
grain in some sections. The cutting OF
the bone into available sizes is now
rendered an easy matter, as the bone
cutter is within the reach of all. Bones
fresh from the butcher have more OF
less adhering, and the more of such
meat the better, as it will cost no more
per pound than the bone, while the
combination of both meat and hone is
almost perfect food from which to
produce eggs.
If the farmer can get two extra eggs
per week from each hen in winter, he
will make a large profit. We may add
that if the product of each hen can
be increased one egg per week only in
winter, that one egg will pay for all
the food she can possibly consume, and
it therefore pays to feed the substances
that will induce the hens TO lay. II
the hens are consuming food and yet
are producing no eggs, they will cause
loss to their owner; and this happens
every winter on a large number of
farms. The hens receive plenty of
food, but not of the proper kind.
A pound of cut green bone is sufi-
cient for 16 hens one day, which means
that one cent will pay for the bone for
that number Of fowls. If one quart of
grain be fed at night to Is hens, and
one pound of bone in the morning, it
should be ample for each day in win.
ter. In summer only the bone need
be given. Such diet provides fat,
starch, nitrogen. phosphates, lime and
all the substances required to enable
the hens to lay eggs. AS an egg is
worth about three cents in winter, it
is plain that it is cheaper to feed bone
than grain, as the greater number of
eggs not only reduces the total cost,
but increases the profit as well.
The bone-cntter is as necessary to
the poultryman as his feed mill. It
enables him to use an excellent and
cheap food. and gives him a profit
where he might otherwise be com.
PEELED to suffer a loss. It is claimed
that a bone-cutter pays for itself in
eggs, and really costs nothing. Bones
are now one of the staple articles OF
food for poultry, and no ration should
have them omitted. They are food,
grit and lime, all combined in one, and
the hens will leave all other foods to
receive the cut bone. If cut fine, even
chicks and ducklings will relish such
excellent food, while turkeys grow rap.

quires the use of the best materials,
and green bone beats all other sub.
stances as food for poultry.-Rural
