SOFT POULTRY FOOD.
A Simple Device which Keeps II
Glenn No Matter How Greedy
the Chicks May BE.

When soft poultry food is thrown
on the ground or even on board. it
is quickly trampled and befouled SO
that IL is unfit to eat. Especially is
this true in wet, muddy time. To be
sure, it may be placed in a shallow pan
or trough, but even this does not help
the matter any. What is wanted,
rather, is covered pan or trough so
constructed that it will permit the
poultry to obtain the food and at the
same time keep them out of it with
their feet.
For small chicks make a double
trough of tin, such as is shown in Fig.

the notes are sounded. 1t took him two
years to teach the dog the simplest tune
so that he could trust his pupil before
an audience. But the reward was great.
Blacks first appearance was made in
Paris and the hit was instantaneous.
Prof. Fills taught Black to play the
few airs in his repertoire by the most
persistent practice. No aspiring
musician ever spent longer hours or
more labor over piano than did Black.
He had one advantage in that he never
had to do scales or practice lingering
o. pedaling. The professor guided a
paw to one key enough times to teach
the dog its location, then upon another
and another, going back to the begin
ming and repeating an infinite number
of times until the whole mechanical
process of that particular tune was inn
pressed on the dogs brain. But even
after all this practice Black cannot be
trusted to play AT air before an audi
ence without a rehearsal beforehand.
If Prof. Fills should rehearse him on
THE Last Rose of Summer" only and
the audience should demand an encore
master and pupil would be in "a guam
dary, for large as Blacks repertoire is,
he couldn't strike a note correctly in
any air except the one he had rehearsed
and just played.
The piano Black plays on isn't really
piano. 1t is a system of electric
chime bells, containing enough notes
to play any ordinary tune. When
Black presses a key with his paw he
really presses button, causing bell
to ring. But the tune can readily be
recognized, and with the accompani-
ment of the orchestra flows prettily.-

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Don't cultivate the corn too late.
You will cut the roots.
We would advise feeding calves from
tin or galvanized pals.
If the calf will not drink-and some
will not-starve it to 1t.
Cut the grass when the bloom is on
and you will preserve the aroma.
When the rains cease be sure to cul
tivate and make the surface fine.
The preservation of u good aroma in
hay makes it all the more palatable to
the animal.
Glover hay is hundred per cent.
better than timothy for all purposes
in feeding stock.
1t looks now as if wheat would be a
good price for the next crop. Don't
sell early If you can help it.
A tread power, run by big dog OF

farms, and save lots of labor,

How to sIake Lime.

To slake lime properly three pints of
water to one pound of lime are re-
quired. Lukewarm water is the best,
which is not always to be had when
stalking large quantities of lime. If
slaked in box or vat put the neces.
sary quantity of water in first, then
put in the required amount of lime
During the progress of shaking it is
well to cover the box or vat aud the
same should be stirred occasionally
for the purpose of placing the lime SC
that all will receive its share of water
Do not put the lime in the vessel first
and put the water on by turning il
from a hydrant or pouring it in with
buckets. If you do the whitewash will
be granular and lumpy.

carrying it in circle. One of the
boys then grasped the rope as high up
as possible and ran in a circle around
the pole as far from it as the rope would
allow until the centrifugal force raised
him from the ground. This start and
the unwinding of the rope caused him
TO make four or five revolutions at a
distance of IS or 20 feet from the pole
before his feet touched the ground.
This performance was then repeated by
all the other boys and was declared
the most pleasing feature of the day.

Rear Chewed Spruce Gum.

There is a man in Maine who has dis
covered that bears eat spruce gum, and
he thinks he knows why they do it.
One day this man was hunting for
spruce gum in the mountains, and he
had filed one basket and was working
on another, when he heard growl be-
hind him. He looked, and saw black
bear eating the spruce gum in the first
basket. He hurled stone at the ami
NAL and it ran away, but not before it
had eaten all the gum. This was in the
fall, and the man says bears always eat
gum, ito keep their stomachs from
growing together while they take their
three months nap"

we call pluck" All Australian boys
are taught the necessity of guarding
against snake bites and the method of
treating them. Two boys had gone
into the bush to play, and one of them
pushed his hand into hole after rab-
bit. He jerked it back. with snake

Charley" he cried, laying his hand OH

Then the little fellow ran mile to
drug store, where the druggist dressed
the hand. Think of that for nerve!

and has sufficient windows already, cut
a large, square opening in the south side
of the house and use the piece OF wall

To Prevent Smut In wheat.

Smut in wheat may be prevented by
putting bag OF wheat in barrel of
cool water and leave it until all the
seeds are moist, usually two or three
minutes. Drain off surplus cold water,
then immerse for a minute or two in
a second barrel containing warm wa
ter. The object of this is to warm the
wheat so that it will not cool the water
in a third barrel. When warm, plunge
quickly in the third barrel and leave il
IS minutes Keep the temperature (by
steady thermometer test) between 13O
and l34 degrees, preferably at 131. Re
move wheat after IS minutes and
spread on floor, that has never had
smutted wheat, TO dry.-Prof. II. Gar
man, Ky. Exp. Sta.

will be experienced. Have this part
hinged and fastened with a hook, as is
shown.
Each side should be open and fitted
with wire bars placed two inches
rt, each end of these wires being
pcnt at right angles, driven through
the strips of wood and clinched. To
insert the food, simply raise the up
per portion or roof part, the semi-ro-
tundity of which prevents the fowls
from roosting on it. Thus the poultry
cannot get at the food with their feet
to pollute it, and, at the same time, it
is safe from any stray animals that
may come along, such as cats and
dogs, for which it is not intended

A TRAVELLERS TESTIMONY.
What He Carried on the Cars.
To Take when Travelling.

Every traveller knows that continuous
journeying on the railroad is very apt to
derange the system in some way. In spite
OF springs and soft seats there is a contin-
uous jar and vibration, which acts upon
the nervous system, and produces results
varying somewhat, according TO the
strength Of the traveller or his predisposi-
tion to some specific ailment. The most
common consequence OF continuous car
riding is constipation: And this condition
invariably produces headache, and tends
to biliousness. ]. ]. Converse, ST. Louis,
Mo-, found a way to avoid the evil effects
OF constipation, to which he was subject
when travelling. He carried with him
"the pill that will" cure constipation and
all it's sequent sufferings. This is what
he says:
"Trave11ing on the cars tends to consti-
patton with me, but by using DIR, J. c
Ayers Pills moderately, my bowels are
kept in healthy action. They also prevent
headache."-J. ]. CONVERSE, st. Louis, Mo

THE BOY IN THE HARVEST FIELD.

Out in the fields in the midsummer heat
The reapers were busy binding the wheat,
And the farmer looked with an anxious eye
At the "thundercaps' in the western sky.
"All hands must work with a WILL" said he;
There's storm a-brewing UP there, 1
see."
Then the bright-faced boy at his fathers
side
To help bind the sheaves most patiently
tried;
But he could not manage the work at all,
For those willing hands were too weak and
small;
"I can't do this" said the brave little man,
$50 I'll give it up and do what can"
The men were thirsty and far from the
. spring;
"ItNwill give them lift," thought he, ito
bring
A pail of that clear, cold water, that flows
Down the mountain-side where the sweet
fern grows"
And soon he was dipping his little cup
In the messy place where 1t bubbled up.
And the Joy of doing something he could
Shone in his face as he came through the
wood.
"God bless the boyl" every man cried out,
AS he passed the pure cold water about;
Twas sustaining power-they bound the
grain
Just in time to save II from drenching
rain.
Then the father said that night, with a
smile,
While the mother listened with pride the
while:
my boy, you helped harvest the field of
wheat,
Bringing water when we were parched
with heat.
Remember through life, my dear little man,
God only bids us to do what we can"
