heat, let IL be drenched with water,
either from n nearby well or from the
eaves-trough of the barn. Often the
manure heap can be located so that wa
ter can be conveyed directly upon IL
from the pump by means of a spout.
Cow manure is considered cold and
slow TO heat, but il has been my ex-
pericnce that where all the liquids are
saved with the solids, the mass is much
more likely to heat. Where heat is
generated, and water can be turned on
as needed decay will take place very
rapidly, and the manure will soon be
in a condition to become readily avail

ments. entirely uncovered as IL is.

From that point II pitches the other

The platforms OF the stalls are raised

be adopted in barns and stables already

will be level.
A thin coat of cement behind the
stalls would be injured by the sharp
shoes of horses, but this will not occur
az the cement is kept well covered with
absorbents, that are removed as they

DRINKING FOUNTAINS.
A Homemade Contriyance which Has
worked Very Well.

In caring for young chickens, duckA
poults, ETC., one often has difficulty in
keeping water before them In sufficient
quantities, and at the same time keep IL
pure and fresh. Many arrangements
have been contrived To obviate the diff
Guilty. all working with more or less sue
cess. Probably the most successful is
the drinking fountain gotten up on the
principle of the siphon. The market is
well stocked with several patterns, all
on the same general principle, but vary
ing in lesser details.
Probably one of the most popular is
the earthen fountain. 1t has the adj
vantage over some others in having
thicker sides and is less liable to be
affected by heat or cold. One of the
most serious objections we have to this
make is the difficulty in cleaning. In
this respect there are others far ahead.
The earthen fountain will not work
successfully during severe weather, es-
pecially il il is so situated that there Is
danger of freezing. Like an earthen
crock, good stiff freeze-up will ruin IL.
There is still another make gotten up
on the same idea but made OF galvanized
iron. This one has the advantage over
the other during freezing weather, but
otherwise the same disadvantage that
will apply 10 one will to the other
We have noted another make gotten
up on the same principle but on an alto
gether different pattern. This one,
which Is also made of galvanized iron.
has a false cover fitting over the can
proper and extends down into the water
about the base. Such n fountain has
every convenience OF the others and the
additional advantage OF being readily
cleaned.
For the past two or three years we
have been using one of our own con-
trivance, which ordinarily works very
satisfactory. We used an ordinary
crock, boring small hole through the
side about ~ inches from the top. The
crock is then filed with water and a
shallow dish placed over the top, with
sides sufficiently high TO allow the water
TO rise just above the aperture in the
crock. The crock and dish are then i'm
verted and if everything has been done
properly, you will have practically just
as good a fountain for the ordinary
poultry yard ms some more expensive
ones. This will be found TO be very
satisfactory in the yard with young
stock, especially with young turkeys.
BY its use the youngsters are not apt to
become wet.-C. T.. Reynolds, in Ohio

FOUNDATION FOR MANURE HEAL

even before IL is received.
IL is all very well 20 describe ideal
conditions. but il seems 10 me that more
good is often done in describing condi-
lions that are less than ideal, but still
seryiceable, practical and easily within
the reach of all.
With this end in view, / present a
sectional view OF homemade founda-
ton for a manure heap in the open
air, which will keep the manure In a
condition very nearly at its best. This
foundation is made just far enough
away from the stable to escape any
drip from the caves. IL is made square
or round, as may be preferred, and has
a rough stone wall about the outer
edge extending down below the frost
line. Within this, over the surface OF
the ground, are placed loose stones,
lowest in the center, as shown. A coat
OF cement, two inches thick, is placed
over them, the surface thus being made
saucer-shaped.
To this foundation is wheeled the
manure from the COW and horse stalls,
the latter being spread evenly over the

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infamed you have rumbling

entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
