FACTS FOR STocKMEN.

Good pasture, feed and care encour-
age early maturity.
1t is claimed that the saddle horse in-
dustry is looking up very rapidly.
If you feed hogs on corn alone they
will have less blood. smaller liver, kid
neys and skeleton.
Farmers as a whole cannot be in
duced to look kindly upon professional
horse racing at fairs.
The silo simply preserves what is
put into it. 1t cannot add to the feed
ing value of the ensilage.
The honey bee is pretty lively kind
of stock, but under favorable condi-
tons it is profitable one.
When cool weather comes the swine
will bunch together and this must be
prevented as much as possible.
The carcass of hog fed on corn will
have say quarter less lean meat than
one that is fed on mixed rations.
There is a shortage of cattle of all
kinds, and we believe that the future
promises well for the beef producing
interests.
Where shorts, bran and corn are fed
to hogs they will grow more rapidly
and more economically than where fed
on corn alone.-Western Plowman.

An EFFEcTIvE HEArER

this is the smokestack proper, the other,
which is six inches in diameter, being
merely sort of draught. This pipe
should be high enough to come just
above the edge of the water tank, in
which it is to be placed. The whole
concern must be soldered absolutely
water-tight, and it can be made by
any timer at a reasonable price. Three
dollars ought to get good one. There
must also be a cover made to fit over
the shorter pipe, but supplied with
hole just large enough to permit
slight draught.
The heater made, take a kerosene or
other cask of equal size, and saw Off
one end far enough up to have a small
tub ten inches deep inside measure
ment. Set this in the water tank, place
the heater in the tub, and make the lat
ter secure by a movable crosspiece,
which must press firmly on the tubs
edge and be held in position by projec-
tons on the inner side of the tank.
Next fill the tank, tub and all, full of
water. This will submerge the heater,
and it should always foe kept so while
there is a fire in it. To fire it, place
some live Goals in it, drop in some kind
ling and shaving, and then some short,
hard bits of wood or soft coal. Let
it get well started, and then put the
cover on the shorter pipe, and the fire
will burn slowly, but it will heat very
rapidly, in that there is not one par
ticle of heat radated except through
the water.-Frederck o. Sibley, in N.

The practice of dipping sheep is a
very commendable one. In fact, 1T is
considered absolutely necessary for
the preservation of flock. Many on
the western range think that sheep
there are free from all diseases, but
the fact remains that while sheep may
run year or two and show no signs
of being affected in any way, there
may be few sheep that are affected
and consequently the whole flock
must be dipped to reach the few as
well as to prevent the growth of the
disease until it affects the whole flock.

WATER FOB SHEEP.
Unless Ii Is Absolutely Pure the ElOc
VIII BE necfmaIeh

Unless Ii Is Absolutely Pure the Flock
VIII BE Decimated.
Water is directly absorbed into the
blood with whatever impurity may be
contained in it. 1t is to some extent
Etrsined or filtered of what it may have
OF solid matter not dissolved in it, but
whatever is held in solution, and some
of what it may have that is not dis
solved to some extent, goes into the
blood with it. Thus impure water
poisons the very fount of life, says
American Sheep Breeder, and carries
into an animal what may be the most
injurious to the health of it. There are,
however, some injurious matters exist
ing in water which are more especially
deserving of notice on account of their
very deleterious effects, such as the eggs
or germs of organic matters, either
vegetable or animal, as the spores of
various minute plants, and the embryos
OF the most deadly parasitic animals.
Of these may be mentioned the germs
of epidemic diseases due to the growth
in the blood of minute plants derived
from these germs, and the deadly para
sites such as the liver fluke, the various
intestinal worms, and the ova of many
tape worms. All these may be taken
into sheep in water drank from streams
or springs or most frequently from
stagnant ponds. One of the most fire.
quent sources of infection is the over
flowing of pastures by streams into
which large extent of MANFRED lands
may have been drained, or into which
the wastes of towns or cities have been
discharged. On this account the shep-
herd cannot exercise too great caution
for the protection of his flock, or esti-
mate too highly those most favorable
localities where the streams flow down
uncleared mountain slopes, from the
primeval forests. or where the sparse
population has never defiled the soil
with filth and impregnated it with the
germs of disease. Nor can he estimate
too highly the pure artesian fountain
flowing from far down below the
sources of impurity, and supplying the
focks with wholesome drink. And in
the choice of range or for d farm for
the rearing of flock this point is to be
considered first and last as being of the
most paramount Importance.

Pntent for Enttening Pigs.

The most ingenious scheme ever de-
vised by the Yankee mind was that of
a man who wished to claim as ex-
clusively his plan for fattening hogs
by wonderful method. The plan was
this: Three pig pens were built, one
having several lean scrub swine,
known as "razor-backs," the central
one being empty, and the third con-
tanning the blooded animal which it
was desired to fatten. The scheme was
to let the fine pig into the central yard
and let him eat all he could out of the
trough. When he had as much as he
could hold, hungry pig would be let
In, and, of course begin to eat. 1t be-
ing a pigs nature to eat as long as it
Jaw another pig do so, the man rea-
soned that the full pig would imme-
diately set to work again and take an
other meal. When the razor-back was
full he was TO be taken out and third
hungry pig brought in, when the same
performance would be gone through
again.-Philadelphia Times.

MODERN CHICKEN COOPS.
The Old Familiar Laths Have GiveI
Place to Wire Netting.

The Old Familiar Lnths Have Given
Place to Wire Netting.
Men whose memories go back say 40
years will remember that in those days
when a man wanted to build chicken
coop he bought bundle or two of laths
and built it. There are mighty few
lath chicken coops built nowadays.
Even the smallest chicken raiser, who
keeps few in his back yard, makes his
coop, or runway, of poultry netting.
The chicken house or shelter is made
of boards, often of two thicknesses,
and with targed paper between. for bet
ter protection from weather, and with
openings at the bottom and under the
projecting roof for ventilation.
Laths are cheap, poultry netting is
still cheaper. 1t is made of steel wire
galvanized in various widths and in
various sizes of mesh. The netting
most commonly used is six feet wide,
with a two-inch mesh. The chicken
raiser sets up a frame and tacks the
netting to it.
Narrow MEETINGS of smaller mesh are
used in various ways to keep in little
chicks. Sometimes foot-wide small
mesh netting to run around at the base
OF the Enclosure. the regular netting be-
ing set above it, thus increasing the
total height of the netting. Sometimes
the small mesh netting is run around
inside of the regular netting, thus maxi
Ing the lower part of the netting double.
Sometimes it is used to make separate
way and perhaps to make q number OF
small Enclosures to keep separate broods
OF chicks apart. The narrow, small
mesh netting is made up to three and q
half feet in length.
There is nowadays use for wire net
ting in chicken houses. A netting with
square mesh is laid on the floor Of
chicken houses to keep out rats and
mice.
There are now many large establish
ments in the country for the raising 81
chickens for commercial purposes, for
market and for breeding, and there are
rs many men as ever who raise chickens
u home, from the many who keep q
Few in the back yard, with q simple
chicken house and coop, to men who
raise many chickens and maintain an
elaborate plant for their breeding and
keeping. But under whatever condi-
uons they are raised chickens are rare
" seen nowadays in coops made Of
Aaths, such as were familiar 40 years
Ago.-N. Y. Sun.

Prerenting Egg Eating.

If an egg is broken the hens will eat
it, and it is 10y eggs being broken that
the hens learn the vice, as they never
eat eggs unless they first find one
broken. The only way to prevent the
hens from eating eggs after they cnce
begin is to make nest with top, com
polling the hen to walk in to reach the
nest, and have the box raised ten
inches from the floor, SO that the hen
cannot stand near the box to eat the
eggs. When she goes on the nest she
cannot do any harm, as she must come
off and stand up to eat the eggs.-Farm
and Fireside.

HINTS FOR FARMERS.

Sell direct to the consumer every
time you can.
The young man can never buy a
farm cheaper than now.
The crop of winter apples will be
much less than last year.
Corn stalks that grow unreasonably
big are all stalk and no corn.
Sorghum should never be planted I'M
til the soil is perfectlywarm.
Subsoiling means more rapid drain
age and better storage for rain.
The farmer who plants more corn
than he has teams to stir the soil is
unwise.
The red baffir corn combines large
yield of fodder with the largest yield
of grain.
Heavy rains compact the soil and
cultivation separates it so that it can
absorb air.
We see it stated that wood ashes and
common salt mixed with water make
a good cement.

The tomato worm has resumed bust

Many man would be surprised if he
knew how many times SOW nurses her
pigs during day. There are two rea-
sons for this; first, the sow is not able
to retain her milk long time; second,
a pig has small stomach and cannot
store away great quantity OF food at
