DIAGRAM OF BROODER..


fve-inch drum opening into the space
between the floor and the sheet iron.
Around the top of the drum are open
ings that let the hot air out into the
brooder: Now comes the improvement.
The top of the drum formerly extend
ed out from it some two or three inches.
It now extends out for ten inches all
around the drum and from the outer
edge a flannel curtain is hung, inclosing
a circular space with the drum in the
center. The curtain is "slashed'' up
every three inches. Within this curtain
will be the warmest place in the brood
er. It will always be warm in there. If
it becomes too warm the chicks will go
outside the curtain. The addition of
this inclosed hover renders it practical
ly impossible for the chickens to be
chilled or overheated and makes very
excellent brooder into one that cannot

The dotted line shows where the
cover can be placed for an inside brood
er. If it is to be used out of doors it
must have sloping cover. Put two
lights of glass either in the cover or in
opposite sides.-Orange Judd Farmer.

TREATMENT OF OUINSY.
Swine Afflicted with This Disease
Should Be Placed in Dry and
Comfortable Quarters.

Quinsy is most often seen in the fall,
winter or spring. Drinking ice cold wa
ter, sleeping in damp nests and ex-
posure to extreme weather must have
much to do with the attacks, says the
Field and Farm. In mild attacks pigs
always recover in week or two. In
aggravated cases there is fever, with
frequent and painful breathing. The
throat becomes sore and swollen and
the grunt or squeal is hoarse. The ap-
petite is lost, and swallowing causes
great pain. AS the disease advances
the breathing becomes very painful,
and the pig usually sits on its launches
and breathes through it's half-open
mouth with wheeling sound. In ag-
gravated cases the animal may die in
from one to three days. Affected swine
should be placed in dry, comfortable
quarters and fed entirely on sloppy
food. An emetic at the beginning may
cut the disease short, but owing to the
difficulty in swallowing it is danger
Gus and must be given in food. If med
icine is given alone, the amount should
be only sufficient to wet the mouth with
white hellebore in doses of from one
half to Is grains. This gives them re-
lief at times.

PRESERVED MEATS.
stances They Are Not Preferable
to the Fresh Article.

Prof. Harvey w. Wiley, chemist Of the
department of agriculture, has subject
ed certain samples of canned meats to
chemical analysis for the purpose of de-
termining whether any deleterious sub
stances had been used in their prepara-
tion. Eleven samples were procured in
open market, eight being corned beef
from five different packing-houses, two
of luncheon beef and one of roast beef.
Ten samples were furnished by the war
department, being taken from the COM
missary stores at Atlanta and Savan-
nah. Prof. Wiley reports that all the
samples were in good condition. A
careful chemical examination failed to
disclose the presence of either borax or
sulphites, or sulphurous, boric, salicylic
or benzoic acids. The only preserva.
tives found were salt and saltpeter, tho
former in about the same and the latter
in a smaller quantity than would have
been used in private families for pre-.
servative purposes. Neither lead nor
zinc was found in the cans, the solder
ing having been done in such manner
as to prevent the solder coming in con.
tact with the contents of the can.
In conclusion, Prof. Wiley emphasizes
the fact that preserved foods, especial.
ly meats, are not preferable to the fresh
articles, where these can be procured.
He urgently recommends that some
competent supervising agent be always
present to inspect the packages when
opened to detect any failure of COM
plete sterilization in their preparation
or any evidences of incipient or ad-
vanced decay in their contents. "When
these precautions are Observed" says
Prof. Wiley, "there is no reason to be-
ieve that the ingestion of preserved
meats as an article of food, in proper
quantities and in properly balanced
ratios, will in any way interfere with
the health or comfort of the person. con-

CROPS FOR THE BEES.
Their Cultivation Is Rapidly BecOm.
ing a Necessity in Many Sections
of the Country.

Even in California where flowers are
as abundant as the sands on the sea-
shore flower crops are raised ostensibly
for the bees. But the flowers there have
a commercial value, or at least their
seeds do, and the apiarist adds another
source to his income.
But in reality this is possible any,
where. The bee-keeper should also be
a specialist in some other kind of farm
ing. Fruit-growing seems to go natur-
ally with bee-keeping, for the flowers
of the fruit trees furnish abundant
nectar for the bees. Then when the
fruit blossoms have disappeared buck
wheat can be sown in the orchard to
yield more food late in the season.
Clover raised in the orchard also fur
nishes good honey for the insects.
Where cut flowers can be sold to ad-
vantage, it pays to raise them on large
scale, with the double purpose of feed
ing the bees, and of selling the flowers
and plants. One may undertake this
business on small scale by confnin e
the work to the production of ANNALS
and hardy perennials. Then no .hot
houses or greenhouses will be needed
to increase the initial expense. Con-
siderable success has been attained in
this way by women as we'll as by men.
One might think of many other crops
that would be suitabl for the bees. One
man added dairying to his bee-keeping.
A neighboring grass pasture was sown
with the seeds of wild flowers, and an
upland field with clover. From the two
he raised enough milk and butter to
supply the house and make several hun
dred dollars year besides. He calcu-
lated that. the pasture fields yielded
him as much return in the shape of
honey as in milk and butter.-Annie C..
Webster, in Journal of Agriculture.

GOV. 7. c. FLETCHER.

Hon. Thomas C. Fletcher, the noted
war Governor of the State of Missouri,
is great friend of Pe-ru-na. He writes:
The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus,
Ohio:
Gentlemen-For years I have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system, and
no one knows the torture and misery I
have passed through. My doctor has
prescribed various remedies, and Ihave
never found any relief until I was per-
suaded by friend to use DR.. .Hartman's
Pe-ru-na. After the use of one bottle I
feel like new man. It also cured me
of a dropping I had in my throat, and
built my system up generally. To those
who are suffering with catarrh I take
pleasure in recommending your great
medicine. Very respectfully,
Thomas C. Fletcher.
Everything that affects the welfare of
the people is legitimate subject of
comment to the real statesman. The
statesman is not a narrow man. It is
the politician who is narrow. The true
statesman looks out on the world as it
is, and seeks, as far as is in his power, to
remedy evils and encourage the good.

Training Colts to Balk.

Many colts are actually taught to
balk, kick, scare and many other bad
habits that render them almost WORTH
less. This usually results either from
carelessness or trying to crowd too
much instruction into little time. Man
with all his intelligence requires from
two to five years to become skilled in
any trade. Some never learn. How
can we expect, the horse, that is guided
only by instinct, to know anything aft
er being hitched half dozen times?
This would be presuming him to have
more sense than his driver, and many
of them have more horse sense than the
driver has man sense.-National Stock

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Don't feed the horse standing in the
stable too much hay.
A good team, fast walking team, will
put money into the pocket.
The corn that will cover the whole ear
to the tip is the corn to grow.
1t is not too late-never is in winter
to batten the cracks of the stable.
Never strain team if you have horses
enough to add to the horse power.
Go light on corn in feeding the idle
horse or comparatively idle horse.
Late sowing of fall wheat is some
what of protection against Hessian
fly.
Give the COW plenty of time to drink.
It takes her long time to get at it
sometimes.
Shine up the harness. Get some har-
ness backing and make the harness
look like new.
Lay out plan for next season. $ work.
It is better than planning and working
at the same time.
Omission to SOW wheat on the same
ground for couple OF years will dimin-
ish the Hessian fly.
There are times when it is profitable
to 60 into debt, but upon the whole it is
better to keep out of debt.
Fight the rats. Feeding rats brings
no profit. Poison, bisulphide of carbon
and ferrets are all death on rats.
Slices of potatoes poisoned with Paris
green will kill SOW bugs which often do
damage, especially in green houses.
1t is pretty costly business to keep
stock in winter, without good shelter.
Stock thus kept loses flesh and vitality.
Blankets are cheaper than grain, and
If horse stands out until it is nearly
frozen the grain must restore the neces-
sary heat.
Buy cheap and sell dear is the BUSH

do that completely, he can often do it
more frequently than he does.--West-

Compost the Cow Manure.

All COW manure should be composted
before it is applied to land. It is so
slow to ferment, especially if plowed
under deep furrow in spring, that it
can do little good the first season un-
less it has been partly fermented by
putting it in heaps. On the other hand,
horse manure ferments too easily, and
if piled in heaps will frefang, which
is really burning it, as the carbona-
ceous matters are turned to ashes in the
process. Hence both kinds of manure
are improved for use by putting them
together in the compost heap. Each
corrects the defects in the other.
