George Huych, who lives up there

When Sid Mcguire comes up town

George Cotton and Moses Brinker-

VIM. Bintner was at Audubon last
Tuesday interceding for the benefit of
Uncle John Banner and his aged wife.
The board kindly granted their re-
quest and Uncle banner and wife
will move into Aunt Ann Howlett's

While conversing with Mr.. Bintner
he told us that Tuesday, April G.,
1897, was an anniversary day with
him, for just thirty-five years ago he
was gobbled, along with General.
Prentiss and a lot of others, at the
"Hornets Nest" on Shiloh's bloody
battlefield, and hastily chucked into
the horrors of Andersonville prison.
The occupants of Hotel de Jenkins

From the Wisconsin Agriculturist.
With good psstursge, plenty of good,
pure water and good shade, stock can
be kept thrifty and growing with very
little trouble. But with stock intended
for meat II is always an item to push
the growth as much ss possible, quick
growth and early maturity being eS-
sentlal to the best results. With milk
cows @ little extra care is necessary in
order that full supply of milk for the
longest season Can be secured. But IL
the best results are received 1t is very
essential that the stock be looked after.
Salt should be kept where they can
help themselves. They should be
changed from one pasture TO another
every two weeks. Even with the same
acreage much better results In every
way can be secured by having the pas
lures divided and changing from one
to another than IL all is together. But
1t is often the case that although the
pasturage will be ample during the
early part Of the growing season, as
soon as the weather gets hot and dry,
as It usually does by the latter part OF
July or early In August. they will
begin to fail, and unless something
else is provided to take the place, the
stock will fail In condition. With all
stock il is better to feed little during
this time rather than to allow the
stock to run down, the amount being
determined largely by the condition Of
the animals.
Or course the meadows may usually
be depended upon to furnish some
feed, but with these, care must be
! taken not to allow them to be eaten

PFOpagatlng Currants and GOOSeberrles,
From Vick's Magazine.
Take cuttings Of currants in Sep
tember after the new wood has ripened, 4,
as may be seen by having turned
brown. Make them about six inches
In length, from the new wood, remov-
ing the leaves. Plant them so that
only one bud Is left above the surface,
and they will take root In the fall and
be ready to make growth promptly in
the spring, Some leaves or litter
should be laid around them when cold
weather comes on, to prevent them
from heaving when the frost comes
out Of the ground.
Cuttings of the goosebeTry are more
difficult to root, but treated in the
ssme way q portion Of those made
from our American varieties will root.
But the better way TO raise gooseber.
rIes is by lsyering, This can be done
ss early as the latter part Of July,
Draw the soil up about bush and lay
the branches partly down upon 1t and
heap fine soil up over them, spatting it
down we'll with the back Of the spade
to make 1t lie close to the wood, The
leaves should be removed from the
portions of the stems which are Gov
cred. Leave the plants earthed up In
this way all winter, and in the spring
level off the soil and cut away lhe
rooted branches and plant them out to
make a set Of strong roots before final
transplanting for fruitlng, From the
plant thus employed Called a stool
plantl another set of shoots will grow,
and at the proper time in summer it
can be earthed up, and thus an annual
crop of plants be produced.

SIlOs and How to Build One With Slaves.
From the Milwaukee Journal.
The staVe silO which has lately come
into use is being built by many people.
This Is a round silo made of one layer
of boards stood up perpendicular and
drawn together like tank or tub with
large iron hoops, The principal thing
to be observed is to get the boards so
they can be drawn together and form
an sir-tight surface. There has been
great deal Of dispute about which are
best to se--tongued and grooved boards
or boards with simple straight edge.
Both methods have found some pretty
good advocates. When either method
Is used the slaves need to be beVeled to
form true circles and need TO have q
perfectly straight edge, and the silO
should be painted on the outside to
further cid In excluding the air. IL

Fall calves are generally better cared

In the autumn. The writer feels GER
tain Of getting better results, in the
end, from raising four calves dropped
at the season advised than from FIVE
born In the spring, and is inclined to
make the comparison stronger,
From the time milk ceases to be the
main food OF the calf until the heifer
drops her first calf (at which time she
becomes COW, If ever, regardless of
age) the feeding of the animal should
be with a view to nOurishment and
growth, without accumulation Of flesh.

Hog Cholera.

Referring to a loss of $50, ,260 hogs in
Indiana last year as officially reported,
a late bulletin publishes these remedial
suggestions: can important factor in
reducing the loss is to provide proper
shelter, as sl hogs with only a mild
attack, or having apparently made a
recovery, may take q relapse If exposed
to a cold rain or sudden change TO
rough weather. There are thousands
of hogs now In q condition to become
affected with pneumonia, which would
escape If given little protection, Any
shed which will keep off the rain and
break the wind is sufficient. The floor
should be dry, but little bedding is
needed, and that renewed frequently.
Burn all litter and bedding once
week. Keep the herd divided so that
crowding is impossible. Remember
q straw stack is the most unfayorsble
place that can be provided for sick
hogs. The essentials in prevention are
good food, pure water, and clean, dry
quarters"

down too close, as serious injury may
be done them. The second growth of
the clover, miIlct, sowed sorghum,
KaRr corn or common field corn may
often be used to q good advantage at
this time, cutting off and feeding
green. In this way, with care In feed
ing, the stock can be kept In a good
condition, thrifty and growing at less
cost than TO be compelled to give dry
feed.

chance to dry, as the tar will help some
In making the silO sir-tight and will
also keep the boards from decsylng,
which Is the biggest drawback TO wood
silOs of all kinds.
To bind the silo together half inch
iron rods should be used, extending
half way round the silo and fixed with
a clamp SO that nuts can be put on
each end of the rod end be drawn up
as tightly as desired. These should be
about two feet apart with the two bot
tom ones six inches apart. A smaller
rod might be used. To hold the boards
in place while the silO is empty during
the summer, board can be nailed on
the inside, at the top, which will serve
that purpose all right.
The stsVe siIo finds favor with many
on account of the quickness with
which it can be built and the small
amount of material required in It's con-
struction. An Objectionable feature
of 1t in Wisconsin would be that 1t
would sllow the ensllage to freeze too
rapidly. Built on the inside of build
ing, there is no reason why it should
not answer the purpose as well as q
structure costing great deal more.
Some provision for floor needs to be
made with every silo. The bare earth
is too loose and allows too much air to
circulate through 1t to be any good.
The best floor is made by about four
or five inches of concrete covered with
good cemenG so as TO be perfectly solid
and sir-tight. Many farmers have
used clay as floor by putting in about
five inches of good stiff clay and pack
ing it solid. But there is an objection
to clay, as it is very likely to crack
open and GLOW the air TO gee IN after
1t has been dried out. The concrete
and cement floor will give the best sat
isfsction every time.
Every silo needs some provision for
getting out the ensilage. This could
be done by hauling 1t over the top, but
that would make too much work about
the time the ensilage was getting down
toward the bottom of the pit. Atleast
four doors should be put in the side Of
the silo, making them from two and
half to three feet wide and about three
feet high. These should be arranged
at regular intervals by the side of the
silo. The opening should be with
frames so that an sir-tight joint will
be made of double layers Of matched
flooring, and should be beveled so that
when the pressure Of the ensilsge is
against it it will ft perfectly tight.
