Stable Accommodations.

1t has been unquestionably proven
that the barn or stable in which the
cows are kept should be built with an
eye single to their use alone. The
building should be large with an open
lot, and thoroughly ventilated. The
floors made of dirt, firmly packed
down, should be raised about four
inches higher than the outside ground.
Each stall should be large enough to
allow the COW plenty of room leside
that of the mixer. Shed rooms may
be attached for storing the grain and
forage, which may be thrown into the
feed stalls through openings provided
in the walls of the barn leading into
the she'd rooms This would be con-
venient and also allow the feeding to
be done quickly and under cover, if
the weather was bad. For the best
sanitary regulations there should be
from 1000 to 1900 feet of cubic space
prepared for every COW. Box stalls
are better than open ones, as in the
latter the COWS have less space and it
is necessary to tie them. In the open
stall manure gutter should be pro-
vided about 20 inches wide and shall
low in depth. This should be we'll
cleaned every day, the manure re-
moved to covered pen outside the
building, if it is not convenient to
have it at once broadcast on the land.
The daily use OF small quantity of
land plaster in the gutter and scat
tered over the stalls will greatly aid in
retaining the ammonia, the highest
and most valuable percentage of plant
food in barn yard manure. At least
twice a year whitewash the inside
walls of the building, and keep the
cobwebs carefully swept down. Close
confinement in buildings not we'll ven-
tilated is as injurious to the COW as it
is to human being. The perfect
health of the herd is most important

The Real Culprit.
SIl.2ag ssSy2 /; , /! !2:ll:sElg@

A youthful graduate of the Harvard
Law School went out West and opened
an Office in a small frontier town. His
frst client was a man accused of steal
ing horse. The case came to trial
before an old judge and jury COM
posed OF hewhiskered ranchers, and,
though there was no doubt of the
guilt of the defendant, he had regi-
ment o. friends who swore he was
forty miles away when the horse was
stolen. This evidence the prosecu-
hon was unable to break down, and
the young lawer plumed himself on a
csrtain acquittal. The jury retired,
and five pinutes later came back into
court.

When to Feed Bees.

Between the blossoming of the fruit
trees and the coming OF a good honey
supply from any other source there is
usually season when the bees obtain
but little honey. They do not store
large amount from fruit blossoms, but
it is enough to feed them we'll and in
duce them to breed rapidly. If they
do not have surplus when the apples
blossom, it will happen at the end OF
the bloom, they will have a consider
able amount of brood and brood comb,
and queen that is in good condition
to go right on depositing eggs if she
is kept supplied by the other bees
with food.
If she is not she stops laying and
the stores are used for the brood, often
proving insufficient, and resulting in
loss of brood by starvation. Certainly
it results in the colony ceasing to in
crease until there is new source of
obtaining honey. 1t would undoubt-
edly be profitable to feed at this time,
giving supply of sugar syrup every
day until it is found that they are OBJ
tanning honey from the fields again.
This should result in large and
strong colony, and possibly in swarm
ing early 1t is the old queen which
goes out with the swarm, and if she
gets we'll established with combs or
foundation which she can quickly fill
with brood, she may lead out another
swarm from her new hive. Such a
swarm would probably he better than
a second swarm from the old hive.
Yet it may and often does happen
that the colony IN the old hive will
send out their second swarm in eight
OF ten days after the first one left. 1t
would be better in most cases to pre-
vent this by cutting out any queen
cells left after the swarm has gone,
and that may be built there, and to
encourage storing of surplus honey
instead. The young queen left in the
old hive after swarming may be in
such haste to go as to result in two
small and weak colonies, not as valu-
able as one strong one, and in a
necessity of feeding both, while if
kept from swarming, the entire colony
may store good amount OF surplus
honey, besil lies their winter supply.
To gain one new colony from the
old one is doing we'll, and often two
good ones may be obtained in good
season, but to increase fourfold is
likely to result in the loss of one, at
least, before winter ends, unless much
care is taken and food given.

Give Calves starchv Food sparinr,v.

Never put corn, kaffir corn meal OF
any other grain in the milk for calves.
The starch of corn has to be changed
to grape sugar before it is digestible.
This change only takes place in the
presence of an alkali and is done
chiefly by the saliva of the mouth.
When corn is gulped down with the
milk the starch is not acted upon by
the acids of the stomach, but remains
unchanged until it comes in contact
with the alkaline secretions of the in
testines. With hogs the stomach is
small and the intestines long. This
allows starchy matter to be digested in
the intestines. The opposite is true
with the calf, the stomach being large
and the intestines short. Unless the
starchy matter is largely digested by
the saliva of the mouth, complete di-
gestion will not take place in the in
testines and the calf scours. ID. H.

Stable Hints.

Let the horse have some exercise
every day, otherwise he will be liable
to disease.
Never dust horse in his stable.
The dust fouls the crib and makes
him loathe his food.
When cool, dry and willing to eat
let him have his oats and stand by
while he consumes it.
Let the heels be we'll brushed out
every night. Dirt, if allowed to cake
in, causes grease and sore heels.
Look often at the animals feet and
legs. Disease or wounds in those
parts, if at all neglected, soon become
dangerous.
Use the currycomb lightly; when
used roughly it is source of great
pain. To fine skinned horses it should
lever be applied.
When horse is washed never leave
him till he is rubbed quite dry and
bandaged all round. He will probably
get chill if neglected.
When horse comes in from
journey the first thing is to walk him
about till cool, if he Is brought in hot.
This prevents him taking cold.
The next morning, after your horse
has come home tired and wearied, let
his legs be we'll rubbed by the hand.
Nothing so soon removes soreness.
1t also detects thorns or splinters,
soothes the animal and enables him
to feed comfortably.
The next thing is to groom him
quite dry, first with a wisp OF straw,
and thea with brush. This removes
dust, dirt and SWEPT, and allows time
for the stomach to recover itself and
the appetite to return. 1t also re-
freshes the animal. If he has been
fasting long, give him small quar-
tity of hay during grooming.

HER TRIUMPH.


6he was not the brightest maiden in her
class;
Every other always stood above her there.
And they wondered how she ever came to
pass,
Not remembering, perhaps, that she was
fair.
Hers was not the finest essay that was read
She had borrowed her ideas here and
there,
But they cheered unto the echo what she
said
She had precious little wit, but she was
fair.
They described the dainty costume that
she wore,
Nor mentioned what the others had to
wear.
She was dull, as has been mentioned here
tofole;
But what of that, as long as she was fair?

Don't Use Turnip. for Ensilage.

A small experimental silo was filed
with cut turnips and heavily weighted.

and in cold room. There was no

when the mass gave way and fell in.
There was too little dry matter, par
ticularly of fibrous nature, to hold
together the mass. The result was as

The Treatment of Earth Roads.


Drainage is of the utmost import,
ance to an earth road Water is the
greatest foe to all roads and especially
so of earth roads, for if these are II It dry
they have no bottom at all. Thorough
drainage must be provided for taking
away the water which falls upon the
surface and also that which would rise
to the top from underlying springs.
Ii the subsoil is of springy nature it
will be necessary to run line of tile
down the centre of the roadbed, or if
the expense is no objection two on
each side of the roadbed. Some will
say tile drain is of no use because
the surface will become so hard that
the water cannot find its way down tc
the drain. 1t is not such water we
wish to remove by tiles, but the bot
tom water which if not removed would
work its way up to the surface by
means of the capillary attraction and
keep the surface soft and springy SC
that it will cut up easily into ruts by
passing wagons. When these ruts are
tiled by rains the evil is intensified.
In caring for the surface it is i'm
sufficient depth to carry off all the
water that will fall during the heaviest
rain storm. The culverts must be in
working order so that there will be no
ponds beside the road soaking into
and through the roadbed, allowing it
to cut and spring with every passing
load. This is very important point,
as it is impossible to maintain firm
roadbed where water stands in ponds
IN the bitches during wet weather.
The surface should be graded smooth
-ly from the bottom of the bitches to
the centre OF the road, so that in pass
ing wide load you can drive into the
ditch without danger of upsetting.
By this means all rain water will be
carried off the surface at once into the
bitches.
Aroad of this kind should be care
fully watched through the season. All
ruts and holes should be filled i'm
mediately, as every passing wagon
only makes them deeper, and the old
adage, ga stitch in time saves nine,"
is as true in road building as il any
thing else. Ruts formed by travel if
taken before the road gets baked too
hard and dry can be filled by running
the disk harrow over them and then
rolling with heavy roller, or better
still, by means of a cheap and easily
constructed road leveler. 1t is made
by taking a single plank or 5 inches
thick and Is or II inches wide. A
piece of iron OF steel 2 or inches
wide is bolte onto the bottom of the
front side of the plank, while couple
of long iron braces will strengthen
the tongue. This machine will cut
the surface better if the tongue is put
in at slight angle SO as to draw the
cutting edge somewhat in the slant of
the road grader. The use of this last
named machine is to be highly recon-
mended, especially for earth roads,
for by its use the surface can be kept
at all times oval and smooth with lit
tie labor. Unfortunately such ma
chimes are expensive, and where only
one or two are owned in township
they are likely to be in use or at the
farther end of the township when
most needed. The use of the roller
should not be neglected; heavy roll
ler should follow the road grader at
all times. American Agriculturist.
