Where pigeons are kept it is too
often the practice TO house them in
some low loft under the caves. where
it is inconvenient to visit them and
where the birds often suffer neglect.
If possible it is better to have quarters
upon the ground floor and preferably
in a separate building. The pigeon
house may well be made an ornament
to the place. With this idea in view the
accompanying illustrtion is given.
This represents a small and mex
pensive house built in attractive lines
and thoroughly suited to the purpose
for which il is intended. A small hall

MANAGING MILK COWS.

I wish to give you few hints on
milking cows. The farm hand who
knows how to milk properly is more
valuable TO the careful dairyman than
any other help. TO milk cow requires
time and patience. The milk should be
drawn slowly and steadily. Some cows
have very tender teats, and if you want
good disposed cow, be gentle in your
treatment toward her, as she is natural
~ impatient and does not like rough
handling. With constant irritation she
will fail in quantity of milk. As the I'D
der becomes filled with milk she Is
anxious to be relieved of It's contents
and will seldom offer resistance with
out cause. When a patient COW be-
comes fractions we can always trace 1t
to the mixer, Note this: We should
not allow them to stand long time
waiting to be MIXED. When cows give
a large quantity of milk it is very pain

Many successful poultry raisers feed
large amounts of clover hay during the

The usual preparation is to cut very
fine and at night sprinkle well with

soft and ready for feeding, and will be
highly relished by fowls. 1t is highly

advantage every other day Some poul-

An arrangement made by Herr Max

glass cylinder of safety lamps. The
cylinder is constituted by Two tin plates
Of mica united. and also kept in place .,
the top aud bottom by being inserted
in two brass rings, the section OF which
resembles that of a channel iron, the
edges of the two channel rings being
turned toward one another. As the
mica plates are perfectly fitted to the
rings, air tightneSs is insured, and an
additional safeguard may be afforded
BY bedding the edges of the plates in
red lead cement. This double mica evil
