GROUND PLAN.

gates working with a lever from the
alley should be suspended above the
troughs, to shut the hogs away from
them while putting in the feed.
A platform the width of the alley,
with the proper incline and at the end
of the alley most accessible to wagon,
furnishes a very convenient way of
loading and unloading hogs. The
small doors opening from each pen to
the alley makes such platform avail
able. The location of a piggery should
be high and dry, and southern ex-
posure is desirable because more sun
shine, especially in winter, is thus made
available. The pen should be reason
ably warm, so that close budding of
the swine will not be necessary in or
der to be comfortable. Good ventila-
ton without direct draft is imperative.

Sheep Need Dry Bedding.

Many people who keep sheep Under
sheds on an earthen floor in cold wealth
er make the mistake of not providing
bedding enough, thinking that it will
interfere with properly packing the
manure which is trodden into a hard
mass by them. But little dry straw
should be scattered over the floor at
night, and it will be none the worse
If it is the refuse of what the sheep have
picked over during the day. Even the
fattening sheep will eat some straw
each day as a change of food, and it will
select the upper part of the stalk near
the head. Oat straw is the best for
this purpose. The sheep is very impa-
tient of wet, and besides, it is injurious
to the wool to have it soiled by manure.
If the ends of the wool are closed by
filth this stops its growth, just as ii
does on the tags, which, even after they
have been secured, are not worth as
much as clean wool from other parts Of
II body.-American Cultivator.

PFOFIT IN POULTRY.
Hate. Chickens without the
lid of IncubatOrs.

Tle farmer who raises more than 100
chickens cannot afford to hatch them
with hens. The average farmer should
arraAge with his wife and girls to
hatch as many chickens as can be cared
for during the coming season. The
farmer has every advantage as poul-
try raiser over the man who makes a
speci5lty of it. \ He produces nearly ev-
erything that is needful in the way OF
feed and can provide shelter for an un-
usually large number very cheaply by
MAKING straw houses or other make
shifts for temporary use.
Where this plan is followed incuba-
tors and brooders are used to greatest
advantage. These machines have been
SO nearly perfected that boy or girl
of average intelligence can care for
them without difficulty. The children
take an interest in such things and soon
learn how to operate them perfectly
and once this knowledge is acquired the
presence of an incubator or two is cause
for very little extra work.
When an incubato is used the chicks
all come out at one time, and, being of
one age, have an equal chance to grow
up. 1t is no more trouble to take care
of 100 chickens in good brooder than
1T is to- watch an old hen with three
ck:clAf,--An incubator is much easier
70 care for than lot of sitting hens, and
it is reliable in every way. 1t does not
get tired of sitting and strike, nor does
it get fussy and scratch lot of valuab BILE
eggs into heterogeneous mass of shell,
contents and pest material.
A sewing machine is considered indis-
pensable and to go without a moving
machine is to be very far behind the
times. The Dlan who would make his
poultry most profita BILE must use an in
cubator and brooders in order to derive
thc greatest profits from his flock.
These machines are cheaper than ever
and better than ever. No class of ma
chinery has been improved to a greater
extent than these and they are now so
perfect, that the old claim that "a child
can operate them" is literally true

CRATE FOR SHIPPING HONEY.

smooth, the boards nailed on the out
side, while the boards of the other two
sides are nailed on the inside of the
frame, forming two panels which make
a convenient hand-hold by which to
pick it up. 1t is impossible to pick the
case up by any of the other sides, and
this keeps the crate in such position
that the section always stands on edge.
This crate is designed to hold two
cases of sections, about so or 60 pounds
of honey, but may be made of any de-
sired size. 1t is little larger inside
than the outside of the cases, and the
space between may be packed with ex-
celsior or other suitable material to
help relieve the jar. When loaded in a
car, the crates should be set down so
that the sections are parallel with the
sides of the car, as they are less liable
to damage in transit. After all, the
best market for honey is the home mar

HEAT KILLS PLANTS.
All Kinds of Our Ordinary
House Flowers.

The ordinary furnace-Eeated house
Is bad place in which to grow plants.
The air seems to have had all the damp
ness removed, and that moist condition
so conducive to a good growth in plants
is not found. This may in a measure
be overcome by means of evaporation
which, while not supplying a great
amount of moisture, should do some
thing toward relieving the bad condi-
tion of the atmosphere. Place jars or
pans of water in, around or about the
furnace, hang buckets of water down
inside the furnace pipes, below the
registers, or place them anywhere that
rapid evaporation may be induced.
Keep all the plants in light, airy loca-
tions, but away from draughts. Never
consign a well-grown specimen palm
to corner of the room, though it may
look better there. It's beautiful ap-
pearance will last short time only in
the dark, close place. 1t may seem
strange to some, but the very best
place in the house, if the temperature
can there be maintained at an even
point, is the kitchen, because of the
constant evaporation of the water as it
puffs forth from the spout of the tea
kettle

One of the worst farm products to

broken down and ruined by careless

chants dislike to handle it on that ac-
count. In the cut is shown a crate H.
lustrated by r. c. Aiken, in Gleanings
in Bee Culture. 1t is light and cheaply
constructed, of size easily handled by
one man when filed and so made as
always to be carried and set down with
the sections on edge, very important

ABOUT CEREAL FOODS.
They Are Prepared in Scores of Ways
and Form a Valuable Addition
to the Daily Diet.

1t has been conceded by those who
have made dietary matters a study.
that the stomach is helped, and diges-
tive conditions improved, by an al
ternating diet of the various grains for
breakfast food. There is such a great
variety in cereal preparations to draw
from, and these too can be cooked in SO
many different ways, that there is alb
solutely no reason for the consumer
becoming tired, with a monotonous
diet.
1t is not generally understood by
housekeepers that any cereal, with the
exception of samp or hulled corn, after
it has been well boiled, set aside to
cool, cut in slices and dipped in beaten
| egg, can be fried a most delicate brown,
without hardening or toughening the
cereal, thus making a most delicious
dish for breakfast or luncheon.
| Barley meal used in this way gives a
companion dish to the fried sausage,
as novel as it is tasty.
The variety of ways of manufacture
ing the raw grains, j. e., finely ground,
coarsely ground, rolled, toasted, etc.,
seems to impart a different flavor to
the same grain when cooked.
Barley-Barley flour, barley meal,
pearled barley, rolled barley.
Observation-Disclosures meal, groats
or hulled buckwheat.
Corn-Whfte corn flour, white corn
bolted meal, white corn granulated
meal, white corn grits, white corn
hominy or cracked corn, white corn
whole corn, white corn rolled, or faxed
hominy, white corn lye hominy.
Popcorn-Popped and ground
Yellow corn flour, yellow corn bolted
meal, yellow corn granulated meal, yell
low corn grits, yellow corn lye hulIed
hominy.
Oats-Oat -four, fine oatmeal, coarse
oatmeal, oat groats, rolled oats.
Rice-Rice flour, broken rice, whole
or head rice, faxed or rolled rice.
Rye-Rye meal, cracked rye, rolled
rye.
Wheat-Wheat middlings or farina,
toasted middlings or farina farinose.
cracked wheat, steel cut wheat, rolled
or faxed wheat.
This does not enumerate any of the
fanciful or special trade names given
to these grains by manufacturers.
One of the most delicious cereals, sell
dom used in the as'rStye household, ex-
cept for gruelt or in soup, is barley,
which, when t>oiled or steamed and
served like rice, and eaten as vege-
table, with butter and salt, will be
found most acceptable addition to the
table.
During the cold weather the Ger
mans, Hungarians and Poles make
most nourishing porridge with boiling
milk and buckwheat groats. Although
largely used in this way by our for
eign population, we have yet to know
of it even being tried by Americans.
Results point out that we should
vary our diet to keep in perfect health,
and although we may not at first take
kindly to a change of cereals, still this,
like any other habit, can be cultivated.

Sailing CLOVER HAY.
Some Reasons Why the Practice IL
Rather to he Encouraged
than Condemned.

The farmer who guides himself by
what he reads about sailing clover hay
will probably become confused, says a
writer in the Stockman. One authority
says never salt tit is dangerous to do
so. Another no less confidently assures
us that it should be salted; he has al
ways done so, likewise has his father
Plainly when doctors differ the individ-
ual may use his reason about the mat
ter, and if possible decide for himself.
The objection against salt is that it
is deliquescent and therefore an in
crease of moisture is to be expected
from its use. After many years of OBJ
servation and experience we have con-
cluded that for us sailing clover hay is
very desirable. We have cndeavored to
arrive at this conclusion intelligently
by repeated tests both in the NOW and
stack. The clover which is sufficiently
cured to keep without sailing will not
suffer from heat if salt is applied. While
it is true that salt is deliquescent, yet
it is altogether probab BILE that this draw
back is balanced by the preserving quail
ity, for why should salt cease to pre-
serve hay when it is applied to other
commodities for this purpose? Yet we
can admit, if cessary-which our OBJ
servation does not warrant-that salt
ing does not materially preserve the
hay, and still claim our case. The pref
erence of the stock for the salted hay
is apparently sufficient guide. Suppose
the individual had to partake of his food
unsalted, would he not make an objec-
ton? Neither would he be reconciled
to this if his salt came in daily or week
ly installments.
The Republican., 1899-02-16

Many successful poultry raisers feed
large amounts of clover hay during the
winter, when succulent food is scant
The usual preparation is to cut very
fine and at night sprinkle well with
boiling water. BY morning it will be
soft and ready for feeding, and will be
highly relished by fowls. 1t is highly
nitrogenous food and can be fed with
advantage every other day. Some poul-
trymen mix cornmea1 with it; this prac-
tice gives a complete food, the corn fur
nishing the carbohydrates or fat pro-
ducing element of the food.-Journal OF
Agriculture.
