A Cheap Manure Shed.

1t would pay most farmers to have water
under roof for watering stock in the win
ter. A cheap shed adjoining the stable
answers very we'll The stock can thus
be kept out of the mud and can get water
without exposure. The trough should be
kept in one end and the room then serves
for housing farming implements in the
summer time, when stock is at pasture,
and for saving manure in the winter
When it is impractcable to draw manure
direct from the stable it can be spread
over the floor of the shed and covered
lightly with straw. The stock tramps it
solid, so that it does not heat, and as no
rain reaches it the place keeps dry, clean,
and solid for the stock. Such a shed,
built over ten years ago at a cost of $50,
has repaid its cost several times.-Ef-

TEXAS SNAKE STORY.
A Rather and q Mexican Ahoat on
Plank For Hours.

81 have heard of many men being
placed in odd predicaments, y remarked
Captain Jenkins but one Of the most
peculiar situations that ever befell an
individual was assuredly that of an ig
norant Mexican good many years age
near Indianola. Tex, at the time the
town was so nearly destroyed by trop-
ical hurricane or cyclone. have heard
the story many times, although 1t hap
pened so long 40, 1t was during the
extreme height Of the cyclone Houses
in Indianola were going to pieces like
so much paper, boats were being wreck
ed, and it looked decidedly bad for the
individuals who were located i'll ex
posed portions of the coast. 1t was
about this time that a little Mexican
settlement on one of the coast islands
adjacent to Indianola began to go to
pieces, the water having risen over the
top of the sand dunes and the waves
smashing the loosely constructed build
ings Of the settlement into kindling
wood. Jose Baretti, one of the inhabit
ants of the settlement, was separated
from the remainder of his family, and,
clinging to long plank, was driven in
to the inner bay over the ruins of the
settlement.
"When the day broke, he was out of
sight of land. The waves had claimed

cast his eye about in the early dawn to
his horror he found the other end of
the plank occupied by an immense rat
tlesnake. AS soon as the snake observed
the Mexican he began to writhe and
coil in an old sort of manner, and APP
parently to make attempts to reach the
poor fellow, whose hair was then stand
ing on end in a manner wonderful to
behold. The hours went by. The snake
kept up his antics, but for some reason
did not get any nearer the Mexican.
The unfortunate fellow was afraid to
leave the plank, knowing that he would
drown, and at the same time he was III

Saving Seed Corn.

"Have you saved your seed corn for
next year." is question put by the writer
to about dos n farmers one day last
week. Out of this dozen but one had
saved any seed corn at all. Most of them
were nearly through husking and in nearly
every instance they expected to pick corn
from the crib as they had leisure during
the winter, which means this work will
not be done until spring. Then oppor
tunity to get the best will be gone and a
poor stand of corn will be the result.
Seed corn should be saved early in the
fall and thoroughly dried, and put where
it will not freeze during the severest wealth
er Early in the spring it should be test
ed BY planting grain or two from a
goodly number of ears in box of dirt
near the kitchen stove. If it does not
grow readily, then make haste to see a
neighbor whose seed will germinate.-k.r-

Soil Moisture.

There is great deal written. read, said
and forgotten about retaining moisture in
the ground or preventing evaporation
there-from, but have never had the sub
ject so forced upon my notice as during
the past ten days, when planting. Having
to use some old sod land found that it
was nigh impossible to get spade into it,
and had to resort to the use of picks.
For two feet down there was perfect dust
when broken up, and every plant set had
to be soaked with water. Another part,
where some early lowered ANIMALS had
been, and the ground since kept free from
weeds. was found to be in perfect cond
ton for planting, while on the same
border, fifteen feet distant, where the
ground was covered with zinnias {and
could not be cultivated), there was not the
least appearance of moisture, and watering
had to be done Gardening.

Regularity in both feeding cows and
milking them is during these short days of
the greatest importance in keeping up an
even flow of milk. The cow which is
MIXED at regular hours, and as nearly di-
viding by two the "a hours, in day, will
hold to her milk much better than if the
interval at one time was nine hours and at
another IS. In the snort days at this
season of the year neither milking should
be by daylight. When the time comes to
milk but once day the time then should
be towards night and as nearly as posi-
bic at the same hour each day The best
feed of the DAY should also be given at
right SO that the COW may eat quickly,
and be full during the hours when the
temperature both in winter and summer
averages the lowest.

Our Feathered Friends.

The great service of birds is for the de-
struction of insects The snipe and
woodcock protect the soil below the sur
face. ackbirds. thrushes, larks and even
crows, remove insects from the surface.
Woodpeckers. chickadees and creepers are
constantly searching for insects in tree
trunks. Warblers and fly catchers are
amoung the many varieties OF birds that
feed on insects that destroy foliage. The
exhibition case of the Massachusetts,
Gypsy Moth Committee shows great
number OF birds which feed upon the
dangerous gypsy moth. In case of unual
invasion of insects, like the army worm
or grasshopper the birds join comm IN
cause with man and quickly lessen the
numbers of invaders. Save the birds and
save the crops.
