A Homemade Contrfvance which Has

A Homemade Contrfvance which Has
Worked Very Well.
In caring for young chickens, ducks,
poults, etc, one often has difficulty in
keeping water before them in sufficient
quantities, and al. 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 eartben fountain will not work
successfully during severe weather, es-
pecially il it 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 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 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 small hole through the
side about u inches from the top. The
crock is tlien filed with water and n
shallow dish placed over the top. with
sides sufficiently high to allow the water
TO rise just above the aperture in thr
crock. The crock and dish are then in
verted and if everything has been don.
properly. you will have practically just

Montgomery County Farmer Tells
of His Experience with 1t.
Last spring / bought five cents worth
of chicory seed and planted it in my
garden. This fall dug four bushels of
chicory roots AS l had never seen
any of the stuff before. did not know
what to do with il, but hearing il was
substitute for coffee. concluded to
try an experiment. l washed the roots
carefully slicing them into thin strips,
took them to heading mill and put
them into box used for driving head
ing timber. In three days they were n
dry as powder. ran them through
little hand bone mill, which took
me about Is minutes. and found 1 had
over bnsheI of chicory meal This
meal my wife roasts or browns in the
stove. the same as green coffee, but
il takes a much shorter time.
II is not a complete substitute for
coffee. but if used with it cannot be de
tecfed from the pure article. We use
two-thirds chieory and visitors declare
they cannot tell it from pure coffee
i think il should be largely used. as
coffee is not healthful. if medical author
ity is to be believed, but chieory
never was known to have any bad ef-
feet unless used in excessive quantity,
when it sometimes results in dysentery.
Again coffee is expensive while chicory
costs but very little. What i raised
from five cents worth OF seed will last
a large family five wears Let some of
our wide-awaiSe farmers in each com
munity try il and it will not be long
until large coffee bill viii be cut off
