Hen Houses.

Hen houses on the farm are often COM
bined with other buildings. This is gen.
orally done as matter Of economy in
construction Sometimes they are placed
as leans against the ends or sides of
horse barns. Sometimes they are made
the second story Of hog houses In the
end all such combinations are false econ
omy. The hen house should be by itself,
some distance away from the other
buildings, both for the health of the
chickens and the comfort Of other ami
mails. All hen houses are infested more
or less with mites and chicken lice. If
the hen house is attached to the horse
barn these insects will be sure to tor
ment the horse; If 1t is attached to the
hog house, they will annoy the hogs;
and If 1t Is attached to the cattle barn,
they will disturb the peace Of the cattle.
The odOr and steam from the horses,
hogs or cattle will be likely to affect the
poultry and tend to make them less
healthful than they will be If the hen
house stands alone by itself. Cleanli
ness in and about the hen house is abso-
lutely necessary for the good health of
the fowls, and this can be better accom-
plished when the hen house is by itself
and not attached to any other building,
and especially a building where stock
Is kept.

plague may involve the intestlnes. Both
diseases may sometimes be present at
the same time, when the intestines and
lungs will both be affected. That the
germs Of hog cholera are found in the
blood and grow in punches which plug
up the small arteries and capillaries.
arrest the circulation and form red
blotches in the meat. They also form
ulcers on the inside of the intestine,
sometimes resulting in perforation.
In swine plague the disease germs do
not collect in punches, but the lungs arc
congested and the air tubes are filled
with frOthy mucus. This information
may be valuable in helping to determine
the treatment that should be used for
both prevention and cure OF these de-
structive diseases. 1t may also aid in
determining at an early stage of the dis
ease whether the hogs have cholera or
swine plague One Of the preliminary
symptoms Of approaching hog cholera is
constipation, with black, hard, knotty
passages. When this condition is first
noticed preventive remedies should be
given at once and OIL meal and bran
mash fed freely. This stage, If the dis
ease Is not arrested, will likely be fol-
lowed by severe diarrhea, and that
closely followed by commissions and
death Of the animal.

Milk for Pigs.

We have protested from year to year
against the excessive use Of corn as a
food for young pigs. 1t is deficient in
muscle-maklng material has a surplus
Of fat, and the result of its continued use
in large quantities is pigs too fine in
the bone, deficient in length, breadth
and depth; animated lard kegs without
constitution and without vitality. Where,
however, the farmer has plenty Of sep
aratOr milk he can feed corn with i'm
punity, for the reason, which we have
repeated over and over again, that corn
Is an excellent balance for separator
milk, and separator milk an excellent
balance for corn. Fed together, they
are the bread and butter, pork and beans,
Of the pigs table, each rich in elements
that the other lacks. The pig needs the
separator milk to prevent the evil re-
suits that follow from whole corn diet
while it needs the whole corn diet to
make up what the separator milk lacks,
and the farmer who Is patrOnizing the
creamery need not hesitate to use both
these feeds and thus secure the full ben
eft Of both. II a farmer has ten cows
with ten calves, and the cows are good
ones from one-half to three-ffths OF the
milk is abundance for the calf; they are
better off with a less amount than a
greater, and hence the pigs can right
fully claim their share. Nature intended
that the cow should give enough milk
for the calf Man has improved on ma
ture's methods, doubling and sometimes
trebling the amount, and he is therefore
entitled to a share of this skim-milk
for the pigs. Farmers who raise calves
by hand and feed the separator milk in
telligently to pigs, will never be troubled
with pigs too fine in the bone, lacking
in constitution and vitality. In fact, the
very best pork grown in America, and
most desirable for export for high-priced
bacon, good enough to satisfy even the
most critical English epicure, is made
In dairy districts where separator milk
forms large portion of the pigs food.--
Wallace's Farmer.

Stable Floors.

The best stable floors for horse stalls
can be made from clean clay soil,
pounded down hard and smooth and
slOping five or six inches from the front
to the rear. Floors made Of plank are
too dry for the horses feet, and floors
made Of stone or cement are too hard
for the horses to stamp their feet on
as they will do when tOrmented by flies.
Where horses stand on dry wood floors
for some time their hoofs become as hard
and dry as bone and the horse will be-
come foot-sore and lame. In some livery
stables a vat two or three feet square
and two inches deep is placed in a stall
and filled with water so that the horse
is compelled to stand with his feet in
water for hours at time in order to
soak and soften the hOOfs when they
have become dry and hard while stand
ing on wooden floors. Where the stable
floors are made from clay the horses
feet will not become so dry and hard,
because there is always some moisture
in the clay, and IL the moisture is not
sufficient it is an easy mater to dampen
it with part of a pail of water. If the
clay floor in the stall becomes uneven
1t is easily repaired with little fresh
clay. If the clay becomes saturated
with the litter from the stable so that
it becomes offensive it should be thrown
out onto the manure pile and fresh clay
put in it's place. The clay floor is the
most natural for the horse as we'll as
other animals, and it is the healthiest
and cheapest floor that can be used.

little care and attention. The entire
load and strain come against the horses
shoulders and they have to endure an
immense amount of chafng and bruis-
ing. II man feels sore spot coming
on his hand or foot he takes some pre-
caution at once by bathing with liniment
and covering with a cloth or some other
remedy to stop the inflammation. A
little attention Of this kind to the horses
shoulders would keep them from getting
sore. When the horse is embarrassed at
night his shoulders should be bathed
with cold salt water. Take a couple Of
quarts OF water, throw a handful of salt
into it, and with a cloth thoroughly
wash and battle the shoulders and wipe
them dry every night after the horse has
been worked through the day, and the
horse will not be troubled with sore
shoulders The salt water will cleanse
the shoulder and help to tougher the
skin so that 1t will not become CALLED
The inside of the collars should be kept
clean and soft Sweat and dust will ac-
cumulate and harden in ridges, and the
constant rubbing of this rough surface
against the shoulder will irritate the
skin and make 1t sore. When the collar
Is taken off at night few minutes work
will clean it. If nothing more can be
done, take corn cob and rub off all the
dust and sweat and then rub 1t smooth
with handful Of hay. The horse will
appreciate any kindness of this kind
and pay for it by doing more and better
work the following day.

Sheep in Corn Fields.

Most sheep-raisers consider 1t a good
thing for both the sheep and the corn
field to let flock of sheep pasture in
the field after the corn has matured.
They will clean up the crab grass and
any stray weeds that may have escaped
the cultivator and hoe and will eat the
lower corn blades and may eat an occa-
sional ear Of corn that happens to be on
the ground but will not injure the crop
of corn to any extent All corn fields
should be kept clean from burs Of all
kinds, but If they are not the burs will
stick to the wool OF the sheep and thus
become a greater nuisance even than
they are in the field. The sheep will not
break down the stalks nor waste the
corn, but will eat clean what few ears
they can reach. If the corn stalks are
short and the ears near the ground old
sheep might injure the corn, and only
lambs should be pastured in such field;
but if the corn is good growth and the
ears reasonably high from the ground
any sheep may be allowed to run in the
field, and they will thrive and fatten
without any great injury to the crop Of
corn and with some benefit to the land
by cleaning up the grass and weeds.
This pasture in the corn field comes at
time when the ordinary pastures are
very likely to be tough and dry so that
they will not furnish nutritious feed for
the sheep, and the most that the sheep
get from the corn field may be considered
as clear gain.

The Colts Mouth.

The colts mouth often needs more at
tention than 1t gets. From the second
to the fifth year is the formative period
In the colts mouth. Sometimes the first
or temporary teeth are not shed prop
erly, but form caps over the permanent
teeth, or being pushed partly out Of
place, become wedged In between two Of
the permanent teeth. In either case they
should be promptly removed to prevent
defOrmity or liberation Of the jaw. The
fourth pair Of molars develop the first
year, the tlfth pair at twenty-one months,
the first and second pair at two and a
half years. The back molars are chang
ing from two and half TO the fourth
year Of age The third molars develop
at three and half years. At two and
a half years the two front incisOTs, both
above and below, take the place OF the
temporary ones, and at three and half
years the next two front inclsors make
their appearance; the sixth mOlar teeth
develop during the fourth year, and at
four and half years the corner front
inclsors develop, and In male colts the
canine teeth are developed the fifth year.
During this period OF development the
colts mouth should be looked into care
fully two or three times each year, and
IL any irregularity is found it should be
corrected at once, as prevention Is far
better than subsequently attempted cure.

Plum Trees.

Plum trees have been extensively
planted in this country during the last
ten years. The greatest enemy Of this
valuable fruit seems to be the curculiO,
which cuts a hole through the skin Of
the immature fruit, in which 1t deposits
an egg that matches into worm which
causes the fruit to fall and decay. Wood
ashes sprinkled on the ground under the
tree while in bloom has been found use
ful in preventing the raVages Of this in
sect.
AS a rule, plum trees need but little
pruning. All root sprouts and water
sprouts should be cut off, and limbs
which make the tree one-sided or un-
shapely should be cut back. II the fruit
sets too thickly part of 1t should be
whipped off when small. A moderate
crop of large fruit is better than large
crop Of small fruit

Sheep and Dogs.

There are nearly a million sheep killed
every year by dogs in this country and
every sheep that is thus killed was worth
more than the dog that killed it, for
every sheep-killing dog is worth several
dollars less than nothing. 1t is surpris-
ing that so many worthless and danger
GUS ours are permitted to live. They
ought to be speedily introduced to the
business end of a Winchester rifle and
their depredations cut short by ending
the career of all sheep-killing dogs. A
flock Of sheep we'll cared for will add
more than hundred per cent. to their
value every year. The wethers should be
turned off for mutton either as lambs or
as soon as the first fleece is clipped. The
ewes will more than double their num-
ber by increase from lambs and produce
fleece Of wool besides And 1t is
shame to our civilization that any such
innocent, peacable and valuable animals
should be murdered by worthless dogs.

all is thoroughly dissolved and mixed
with the water. When watering the hogs
take one pallful of this mixture to three
Of water, and as preventive remedy
give it once or twice week. If the
hogs are sick with the cholera give it
once day for several days, or until
they become better. 1t is a good plan to
keep some of this mixture on hand and
feed it to the hogs once week as pre-
ventlve, even IL they do not show any
symptoms Of the disease. 1t can be fed
with a bran mash or with slops as we'll
as in the water. In all diseases, but
especially with cholera, the best remedy
Is prevention, for the loss of even one or
two hogs would be more than the ex-
pense Of using precautions for long
time.

Soy Beans.

The Kansas Agricultural college is ex-
perimenting with soy beans with very
satisfactory results. The crop this year
has been harvested and the lghtest yield
on the poorest land was seven bushels
per acre, while ground of medium fer
tility produced twelve bushels per acre.
Severe drouth just as the beans were
forming llghtened the crop or the yield
would have been much greater.

Curo lor Hog Cholera.

Most farmers who have had expert
ence with that terribly destructive NAL
ady, hog cholera, have come to the con-
clusion that there is no certain cure for
the disease. One of the best recipes
among the many that have been tried
is the following: Take 2 ounces Of salt
peter, 2 of copperas, 4 Of black anti
mony, 2 of arsenic, Of blood root, 2
Of poke root, Of carbolic acid, and 4
pounds Of fresh lime The solid ingred-
tents should be powdered. Put the above

UsIng Fruit for Jams.

Using Fruit for Jams.
Jams are slowly taking the place OF
the elaborate jellies and preserves upon
which in Olden days the reputation of a
housewife largely depended, but which
nevertheless cost far more trouble than
they were worth.
Jams are made with less sugar than
preserves, and are more wholesome as
we'll as more fruity in flavor
II you possess a good, cool, dry stor-
ing place, there is no reason why you
should not make larger quantities at a
time, as it will keep for years, and so
not have to make every kind each year.
First--See that the fruit is dry.
Second-It should be free from dust
and not over nor under ripe.
Third-It is at its best If gathered
early in the morning.
Fourth-Keep the fruit in cool place
If it cannot be boiled at once.
Fifth-There is no economy in pur-
chasing cheap sugar. Common sugars
spoil the flavor, and by the quantity of
scum that they throw up much jam is
wasted.
Sixth--A copper preserving pan is the
best to use; failing that, a cast-irOn
enameled stew-pan will answer Capi-
tally.
Timed pans should be avoided, as they
are apt to spoil the color Of the fruit
and sugar.
Seventh-R two kinds OF fruit are
mixed together, put the hardest kind in
first.
Eighth-Remove all scum as it rises,
and stir gently but thoroughly now and
then.
Nlnth-The time Of boiling depends
on the quantity. 1t should boil fast, as
slow cooking will spoil the color of the
fruit. Boil all kinds TILL If a spoonful
is put on cold plate, it jellies when
cold
Tenth-To most fruits and to all acid
kinds, allow equal quantities of fruit
and sugar.
Eleventh-Some people put fruit and
sugar in the kettle together; but it is
safer to put the fruit in first, bring it to
the boil, and then add the sugar, except
when you wish to keep the fruit whole,
as in apricot or rhubarb, when the sugar
should first be boiled, and then the fruit
put in.
1t is said that if the fruit is boiled be-
fore being added to the sugar, the jam
will never ferment, even though the
fruit was overripe or damp
Often, however carefully the jam Is
made if the fruit was slightly overripe
and put on to boil with the sugar, it will
ferment.
Twelfth--It is a good plan to slightly
butter the bottom of your kettle. Should
there be any thin place in it, this will
prevent the jam from sticking and get
ting burnt.
Thirteenth-If your fire Is fierce or
your kettle thin, 1t is well to place your
kettle on a trivet on the fire. Jam easily
burns, so great care is needed.
FOurteenth-Pour the jam into clean,
dry jars, and cover when cold.
Fifteenth--Keep in a cool, dry place.
The foregoing table will give you some
idea when the most ordinary jams are
best made, also the quantity of water
and sugar. But bear in mind, no hard
and fast rules can be given, as so much
depends on the condition of the fruit.
If it seems overripe or moist, you may
have to leave out all or a part Of the
water or, II very sour, then add more
sugar and so on.
Il is too late to make some of these
jams this year, but the directions may
be found useful another season.--Philas
