Sheep suffer if kept in close, under
ground. unventilated stables. which are
pretty sure to be also damp and have
foul air. Even in warm weather sheep
will prefer to sleep on knobs not merely
to be able to watch against danger. but
also to secure free circulation of pure
air So long as the roof keeps out the
rain the open texture of the wool on
the sleeps backs win keep cold out,
however severe, provided it is not ac-
companied by wet. The sheep need this
shelter from rain, even when the wealth

which nature provides protects the skin
from being wet. unless the storm is SO

when ali opportunity occurred for
the stick to be substituted for its inno-

All tanks in which milk CT cream is

odors which may be injurious to the
favor of butter
The temperature in said tank shall

Collectors shall be inspectors of cream
and shall be forbidden to take any
which is sour dirty or frozen or for
any reason which in their Judgment
renders it unfit for the manufacture OF
high grade butter until such objection
or neglect on the part of the patron is
corrected.
1t shall be the duty Of all patrons to
report at the factory any incompetency
or negligence on the part of any col
lector in his capacity as such.

rounded at both ends. so that the feeder
may be pulled either way. Nine 3 by
joists each feet long are bolted on to
the runners about two feet apart These
joists are then fastened together by by
joists which project over the runners
far enough to support the feed trough.
The trough is built about the width of
a scoop. This permits of easily remov-
ing the grain from the trough should
you choose to do so. This. however. is
seldom done Used in this way. how
ever. the feeder makes a very cheap
granary. The bottom of the feeder is
built high in the middle and slopes to
the feed trough on either side. The roof
projects a little over the sides and
measures about IA feet from cave to
cave. A door or cover is provided at
either side for the feed trough. If one
has cows in the lot at night. but wishes
calves to eat grain from the feeder dur
ing the day. he can simply drop the lid
when the cows are in the lot and raise
it on turning them out. Calves can
then eat oats or shelled corn or what
ever you may have in the feeder for
them. Cut the rafters for the floor ont
of IA foot 2 by As, making them each
81 feet long. Thirty-six rafters of this
sort will be needed for the bottom and
the drop OH sides.
After the feeder is sided up with ship
lap or flooring the roof of / by sheet
ing is then put ON, which is afterward
covered with shingles. 1t is a good idea
to put several braces across the feeder
from cave to cave. Bolt these to the
upright by As. Strength will be given
to the structure by running a one-half
inch rod the length of the feeder and
making ii fast just below the grain
doors The feeder is about / 6 feet long
and has capacity of about 1000
bushels of corn. Total cost including
lumber, labor and hardware, will be
about 500 or $50 From so to so head
of cattle can be fed at one of these
feeders In adjusting the slides at the
feed trough / place them SO that l can
just run my finger under them at the
bottom. The cattle then have to lick
the grain with their tongue. They get
but small quantities in this way and
clean it up before reaching in for more
Feeding from these troughs results in
their thoroughly masticating the grain.
Timid cattle win come up to the trough

corning the feeding of 81 head of pure

they wanted through the day and nurs-
