the dairy business have proven that

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 beside
that of the mixer. Shed rooms may
be attached for storing the grain and
forage, which may he thrown into the
feed stalls through openings provided
in the walls of the barn leading into
the shed 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

Between the blossoming of the fruit
trees and the coming of good honey
supply from any other source there is
usually season when the bees obtain
but little honey. They do not store n
large amount from fruit blossoms, but
il is enough to feed them well aud in
duce them TO breed rapidly. If they
do not have a 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 a queen that is in good condition
to go right on depositing eggs il 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. II would undoubt-
giving supply of sugar syrup every
day until il 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 il she
gets well established with combs or
foundation which she can quickly fill
with brood, she may lead out another
swarm from her new hive. Such u
swarm would probably he better than
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
or 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 n
necessity of feeding both, while if
kept from swarming, the entire colony
may store good amount of surplus
honey, besides 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 n 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.

200 years and is the property OF Mrs.
Edmund Law Rogers, born Platter, of
Baltimore, and was part of the orig
inal Platter grant made in early
colonial times. Scientific men who
have from time to time visited this
tree have said that 1t would take at
least 1000 years for this species of
poplar to grow to such size in this To-
cality. II stands alone, picturesque
feature Of the landscape, in an open

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 well brushed out
every night. Dirt, II 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.
Uso the currycomb lightly; when
used roughly it is source of great
pain. To fine skinned horses it should
never 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 a horse comes in from a
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 aud 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 wisp of straw,
and then with brush. This removes
dust, dirt and sweat aud allows time
for the stomach to recover itself aud
the appetite to return. 1t also re-
freshes the animal. II he has been
fasting long. give him small QUEEN

give Calves s,archy FOOD sparingiy.

Never put corn, kafllr corn meal or
any other grain in the milk for calves.
Tho starch of corn has to be changed
TO grape sugar before IL 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 he digested in
the intestines. The opposite is true
with the calf, the stomach being large
aud 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. ii.

Drainage is of the utmost import
nnce to an earth road. Water is the
greatest foe to all roads and especially
so of earth roads, for If these are not 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.
If the subsoil IL Of a springy nature 1t
will be necessary to run n line of tile
down the centre OF the roadbed, or il
the expense is no objection two on
each side of the roadbed. Some will
say n tile drain is of no use because
the surface will become so hard that
the water cannot find it's way down to
the drain. 1t is not such water we
wish to remove by tiles, but the bot
tom water which il not removed would
work its way MP to the surface by
means of the capillary attraction and
keep the surface soft and springy SO
that it will cut up easily into ruts by
passing wagons. When these ruts are
iilled by rains the evil is intensified.
In caring for the surface IL is inn
portant to see that tho bitches are of
sufficient depth to carry off all the
water that will fall during the heaviest
rain storm. The culyerts 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 IL 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 tho
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 filed i'm
mediately, as every passing wagon
only makes them deeper, and the old
adage, "a stitch in time saves nine, "
is as true in road building as in any
thing else. Ruts formed by travel if
taken before the road gets baked too
hard and dry can be filed by running
the disk harrow over them aud then
rolling with heavy roller, or better
still, by means of cheap and easily
constructed road leveer. 1t is made
by taking single plank or inches
thick and 10 or II inches wide. A
piece of iron or steel or inches
wide is bolted 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 rol.

all times. American Agriculturist.

In the Paris Museum of Natural His
tory at present there is to be seen the
only living captive specimen OF what
African explorers have called the "pris-
on bird" The popularity OF this
feathered beauty is that he is the most
tyrannical and Jealous Of husbands,
imprisoning his mate throughout her
nesting time. Livingstone watched the
birds habits while in Monpour and in
his subsequent observations referred to
the nest as a prison and the female
bird as a slave. The nest Is built in
the hollow Of tree through an open
ing in the bark. As soon as 1t is COM
pleted the mother bird enters carefully
and fearfully and settles down in it.
Then papa walls up the opening. leav-
ing only just space enough for air and
food to pass through He keeps faith
full guard and brings food at regular
intervals without fail. The female
thrives under her enforced retirement.
But If the prison bird is killed, or in
any other way prevented from fulfill
ing his duties. the mother and her little
ones must die OF starvation, for she
cannot free herself from bondage. Nor
mally the imprisonment lasts until the
chicks are old enough to fly. Then the
male bird destroys the barrier with his
beak and liberates his family. 1T is
