ANIMALS in the Flower Garden.

W6It largely uLdUc NY VI tOhAuodS'
Among flowers, by far the larger part
of the Old-time favorites We're annu-
ais; and it is probable that nine out of
ten persons today, if asked to mention
their favorite flowers florists stock
excepted), would name ANIMALS. Sweet
peas, pansies, asters, cosmos, nastur-
tiums-these have a hold on people
which they will never lose.
And so, while 1t is possible to find
many pleasant gardens in snug back
yards, or window boxes or tomato
cans-witlhOut trees and shrubs and
perennials, the ANIMALS are omnipres-
emit Their great variety, their adapt
the dnnumerable, Enthusiastically
beautiful ways they have of express
ing themselves, make them always in
dispensable. How the cheapest and
simplest materials may be combined
to produce an excellent and striking
effect is seen in our from tispiece.
Almost all of the ANIMALS may he
grown successfully by sowing the
seeds where the plants are to stand.
This is done when the weather is
warm enough for spring, and ais soon
as the soil is in good workable cOndi
ton. The seed bed should always be
Thoroughly prepared, with good drain
OH off
posed fertilizer worked in. But it is
much the best plan, especially in
northern Iatitndes, wherever it can be
done, to start the plants in hotbeds,
cold frames, greenhouses Or boxes Of
earth in the house, from which they are
transplanted to the open ground. Con-
siderable time is gained in this way
often one or two months. Nearly all
the annual species may be handled IN
this way. There are few exceptions.
But many sorts make much better
plants by transplanting; and it Is of
ten advisable to- transplant the seed
1ings once before they reach their final
stations in the grounds.
The commonest error, in growing an
nuals, is to plant them in flower beds.
This mistake is frequently made with
other plants, but never SO pe1'sistently
and disastrously as with phloxes, Zin-
Mas, marigolds and their like. If
STRICTLY geometrical scheme is intend
ed, or if the garden is one of the old
Italian style, with a high wall about
it, then flower beds will fit the place.
But in the free and natural dOoryard
gardening, the whole picture is sadly
disfgured when it is cut full of holes
to receive strange, detached punches
of unwilling flowers in varied asort-
ment. There they uncomfortably stand
about through the summer, each
bunch of flowers jealous of it's neigh
bors, all appearing to be afraid of
Overstepping the circumscTbing bricks,
stones or oyster shells which hem
them in, all chatting at the restraint
and all wishing they were safely away
in the woods, where they might clam
Der down the banks or revel in the
grass the way flowers were meant to
do.
The annual plants ought to be put
not into beds, but into the borders
with the perennials and the shrubs.

SMALL FEED LOTS.
They Are Valuable Because They
Form a Reservoir for Making
and Saving Manure.

When we see a farmer scattering his
fodder and hay out to his stock over
several acres of ground it is quite ev~
ident that he is making mistake, es~
pecially; in the way of saving manure,
for much of the fertility evaporates
and goes to waste. If the cattle are de-
horned they can be punched in a. small
lot and fed in a rack Of boxes. FROM
their night quarters in the stable J.
turn during the day four COWS on
space measuring Is by 40 feet, where
they eat fodder. In an adjoining lot O.!
about half this area are kept three
yearling cattle which have a straw
shed for shelter. An additional lot
comprising about three-fourths of the
space of cow lot furnishes place for
horses during the day. Thus the stock
is removed from the graveled track
leading through barn yard to stable
doors. A rick of straw adjoining these
lots furnishes supply of litter which
along with the corn stalks will be
thoroughly rotted by next fall and
ready to be hauled out and scattered
over the young clover. It will amount
to 50 wagon loads. Thus it will he seen
that small feed lots are essential in
forming reservoir for making and
saving manure-the most complete fer
tilizer, embracing as it does all the ele.
ments of plant food.-W. r. Porter, in
National Stockman.

PERFECT COW STALL.
No One Who Builds One Accorltn to
Directions Will Regret 1t,
Says the Designer.

The day has gone by when any kind
of stanchion stall can be used and
classed as a humanitarian object for
the confinement of cattle.
/ know of no reason that can be pre-
duced in their favor, but do know that
if the users of them had one week of
commitment in one that his ideas of
comfort would materially change long
before the week was out. For six years
we have been using stall in our dairy
barn that has every point of comfort
and utility that can be desired. A
given space in width will hold as many
cattle, side by side, as any stanchion,
keep them cleaner, or absolutely clean,
and every cow can have absolute free
dom for both head and body.
The construction is easy and cheap,
and handsome adornment to any
dairy barn. Hundreds of them are in

A Strictly Cash Busin ess.

Work on the dairy farm, when con-
Quoted as it ought to be, is combining
and everlasting. The dairyman must
be at home night and morning every
lay in the week. The cows must be at
tended to just right. Close attention
must be given to every detail of the
business. But the pay is commensurate
with the work. The dairy districts are
the prosperous districts. Where dairy

Money Value of Cleanliness.

Prot. w. ]. Fraser, of the Illinois sta
ton, says: Milk, as ordinarily pro.
duceds sells at six cents a quart, while
milk so carefully handled that it is
known to be free from dirt and disease
germs sells at from eight to twelve
cents per quart. To produce really
clean milk requires great care. Some
experiments were made at the Illinois
station with sterile plates exposed for
half a minute in various places. The
following collections resulted: Dust
from fodder, 1858; dust from corn meal,
S; dust from brushed cows, s69; under
nnwashed udder, 2,o23; under washed
udder, 90. Often the milloer goes to his

has it. A great many people think they
are suffering from something else and
have tried many medicines in vain,
when if they could realize that it is
catarrh and take Pe-ru-na for it they
would improve promptly and soon re-
cover entirely. There are no substi-
tutes. Let no one persuade you there
are other catarrh remedies just as good.

for the purpose of mailing on the side
partitions and fence for guarding cows
back to edge of ditch. The fence can
be placed on either edge. of the 5-foot
post, according to the length of cow
confined, or pushed any distance to-
ward ditch by adding another width of
studding for quite small cow or
heifer. The full distance, feet 6
inches, is about right for 1,000-pound
cow, and inches less for one weighing
800 pounds. The side partitions are 3
feet inches long and feet high, and
stall for 1,000-pound cow feet inches
wide, and less, for smaller cows.
The point C is 10 inches wide and
slants into manager at A where all the
feed grain cut fodder ensilage goes.
The hangers are not divided only 10
inches from bottom, thus allowing an
even distribution of the coarse folders,
if any are used, to fall against the
fencing in front of cow to be eaten
through openings. Cows are tied with
swivel chains at point D, in center of
stall. In this stall the cow lies down
and gets up without forward or back
ward movement. Has perfect freedom

attitude she can take for rest. She re-

stall exactly after the pattern will al

are made of by SIS, 16 feet long. The
standards (a) at each end are placed far
enough from the ends of the runners
to bolt on braces (b). The cross braces
(c) are made of 2 by SIS. No tongue is
required unless the hauling is to be
done on snow.
The sled is driven along the shock
row as near as possible to the shock,
which is tipped over onto it without
breaking the tie band. The sled will
hold from four to six large shocks.
The fodder hauled in this way is in
good shape for ricking if desired, and
loses little if any in transportation.
This sled comes handy in many places
about the farm, saving much lifting on
and off wagons.-American Agricul-

CHEAP LEGAL ADVICE.
a. Man Who Believed in PAVING n
Lawyer Cor His

The other day an old fellow slouched into
Attorney Oscar kahn's office, on Legal row,
and introduced himself as Mr.. Smith, Jones,
Brown, or something, of neighboring coun-
ty., He said he wanted to consult lawyer,
and was accorded a seat and one of the at
torneys sweetest smiles.
He then explained that while he was away
from home the sheriff or some deputy had
attached his wife's sewing machine and
bureau for taxes. He didn't propose to
tolerate such imposition, he declared, and
came to Paducah to consult a lawyer
about it.
!, '*What is the amount of taxes?" inquired
the lawyer.
"Lemme sea dollar and % cents" was
the reply.
The lawyer could not conceal smile, but
fastened to say: "Well, Mr.. Smith, if you
want my advice, it is to 60 back and settle
that small amount. It looks like the easiest
and best way out of it,"
The old fellow thought a moment, and re-
piled that he believed he would. Answering
he asked: "How much do owe you?"
'Oh, nothing, SIR" was the reply. 81
