DRINKING FOUNTAINS.
AHomemade Continuance which Has
Worked Very Well.

Worked Very Well.
In caring for young chickens, ducks,
poults, etc., one often has difficulty in
keeping water before them in sufficient
quantities, and at the same time keep it
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 if ii is so situated that there is
danger of freezing. Like an earthen
crock, good stiff freeze-up will ruin it.
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 to one will to the other.
We have noted another make gotten
up OIL the same principle but on an alto
gether different pattern. This one.

has false cover fitting over the can
proper and extends down into the water
about the base. Such a 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 a small hole through the
side about 1s 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 in
verted and if everything has been done
| properly, you will have practically just
as good fountain for the ordinary
poultry yard as some more expensive
ones. This will he found TO be very
satisfactory in the yard with young
stock, especially with young turkeys
BY its use the youngsters are not apt &c
become veto. p. Reynolds, in Ohio

sarv for the ceremony, such as piece
of linen, copper pots, pieces Of sandal
wood, one earthen pot some "ghee,"
or clarified butter, rice, a few split
cbips of bamboo and two strong bam-
hoo poles for the bier. In rainy weather
some oil and resin to revive the flames
are added to the stock of necessaries.
A sacred grass, the "durbhas," and some
"tulsi' leaves are spread over the bier.
II is very necessary that the son of
the deceased should perform the cere-
nony. If he is absent at the time of
the death the father or brother of the
deceased or some other male member of
the family may take his place. When
there is no son in the family one is
adopted for the purpose. The perform
err OF the ceremony must first battle,
then shave off the mustache and battle
again. The priest constantly recites
the "muntras," or sacred hymns, from
the .Vedas." A sacred fire is lighted
in the earthen pot and the body, after
II is washed and bound about the waist
with piece Of cloth, is stretched upon
the bier and completely covered, save
as to the face, which is left exposed.
The friends then carry away the bier.
The son, who lights the funeral pyre
and is the chief mourner, walks ahead

When the body has been placed upon
the pile some of the relatives and
friends scatter pieces of sandalwood
over the body. 'Muntras" and prayers
are again repeated and the remaining
fuel is placed on the body. Then the
chief mourner walks around the pile
three times and fires it. Very soon it is

The whole body is reduced to ashes.

or round, as may be preferred, and has
a rough stone wall about the outer
edge extending down below the frost

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

The early blight of potatoes does not
cause the tubers to rot. A more or less
rapid drying and curling of the leaves
and stems marks the presence of the
disease, The edges of the leaves are

trial parts of the leaflets gradually be-
come lighter green, or even yellow,
and more or less spotted. The early

ROOMY POULTRY HOUSE.

Where one can build his poultry
house upon southern slope, the plan
shown in the accompanying illustration
will be found particularly conve nienJ.
The building can be of any length de-
sired-to accommodate one or Il dozen
flocks--the construction is the same in
any case. The north side has posts
shorter than are those upon the south
side, which gives from three TO four
feet of space beneath the building prop
er. This is utilized as scratching
room for the fowls in cold and stormy
weather. A small opening in the floor
on the north side of the main floor
admits to this scratching-room. En-

We hear much about the desirability
of manure cellars, covered barnyards,
manure sheds and other covered quar-

fact remains that the average farmer
who is not now blessed with one OF
these means of preserving manure at
it's best, does not, in nine cases out of

with one of them. The barn that is now
without cellar cannot easily be fitted

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, us they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
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;
nine cases out of ten are caused 10y catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
