COVER FOR HAYsTACK.

board up side by laying the studding
six feet apart and cutting the boards of
that length. When you have the two
sides boarded place the two ends of the
sections together. This will be the
apex of the cover. The two by tours
should have been left projecting few
inches in order to bolt the two sides
together at the apex. This cover will
form roof that will turn all storm and
preserve the hay as well as though
stored in barn. AS they are made in
sections of six feet each, only that
much of stack need be cut down at a
time. In order to hold the covers firm
" in place, bore an inch hole in the low
er ends of the two by tours and with
piece of smooth wire or rope hang a
heavy weight to it, or stake it down to
the ground.
This cover will be found especially
useful in the spring of the year. Farm
ers all know the value Of good hay to
working horses and also to stock even
when there is an abundance of green
feed. However, good hay is a scarce
article in the spring. If it has been un-
protected or exposed it is certain to be
musty and spoiled. And where stack
is open to the spring rains it soon be-
comes unfit for use.-J. L. Irwin, in

John Bowman.

Then they got the broken ends of the me-
dulla together an fastened 'em in place with
strips Of adhesin' plaster. After that they
nailed narrow rods of zinc up and down his
backbone and clnched 'em together with
rivits. When this was all fixed the surgeon
sent out an got an oldfashioned bootjack,

Electric Power for Farms.

Electric power has not been used
to any great extent in agriculture so
far, though it seems well adapted to
it. In Bavaria, however, an expert
ment is being made on a large scale,
by an association of farmers who are
building a large power station for the
supply of electric power to the farms
near the village Of Schaftersheim.
The power station is of the mixed
type, both water wheels and steam
engines being used in it for general
ing electric currents. The motors are
made very compact and simple, and,
of course, inclosed so that the enquir-
ing farmland may not break them or
get his fingers nipped in them. Other
associations in other parts of Ger
many are awaiting the success of the
experiment with view to adopting
similar systems. 1t is estimated that
the power thus distributed will be far
more economical than steam or animal
power on the various farms, and far
more satisfactory.

SUBSTITUTE FOR HAY.
Past Experience Has Demonstrated
That Corn Can Be Used with
Excellent Results.

The experience of last summer, so
far as the hay crop was concerned.
ought to put farmers on their guard
to avoid like result this year. TO
the man whose experience in growing
forage crops is limited, corn should be
the crop on which to bank, not only
for needed summer fodder, but to har-
vest as substitute for hay, if needed.
The soil should be we'll fitted and en-
riched, and the seed Of the variety Sc
lected drilled in so that it may be
dropped in three rows at time. Guilt
vate in the usual way, and that portion
not used as green food during the sum-
mer should be harvested before frost in
the fall. If we'll cut, cured and housed,
this corn slower will make an excellent
substitute for hay if properly manip-
ulated before being fed. Vast guam
titles Of corn fodder are yearly ruined
by being left in the field cut and uncut
during heavy frosts that take much of
it's nutriment. If silo is not on the
farm, store the corn stalks under cover
after curing, and when about to feed,
cut in machine that will split the
stalks as we'll as cut them. Moisten the
fodder with ground grain and all of
the stock, even the horses. will thrive
upon it.-Prairie Farmer.

BEST ARE THE CHEAPEST.
why Pure-Bred Animals Are More
Profitable to the Average Farm.
eF Than Scrubs.

It does not cost any more to raise
pure-bred stock than half-breeds and
inferior scrubs. The only difference in
the cost is the initial purchase. The
pure-bred naturally costs more than
the inferior animal, but in the end one
such animal may prove cheaper than
three or four scrubs. The farmer who
starts in with the idea and buys only
little blooded stock as he can afford
it, increasing his herd gradually. may
find in the end that he is in much bet
ter position than his nieghbor who
buys any sort of cattle simply because
they are cheap. The reason why more
do not start in with the idea is because
they have the erroneous belief that it
costs more to maintain the blooded
stock. This is not true at all, for the
fine cattle do not require more food nor
better surroundings than should be
given to any farm animal that is worth
anything. If the farmers style of keep
ing cattle is to neglect them and let
them practically shift for themselves
the scrub stock may be better suited to
his purpose, for the half-wild animals
are undoubtedly harder than the we'll
bred ones, and they will be able to pick
up living much better on a cold,
cherries and almost foodless range.
But where the animals are kept care
fully according to modern ideas of cat
tle-raising, with sufficient food to nour-
ish them. and proper shelter and pro-
lection, the blooded animals are just as
cheap to support as the poorest scrub.
This being the case no farmer can feel
that he is not able to keep few and, in
time, to substitute them entirely for
his inferior cows, pigs, sheep and cat
tie. Let him begin wedding out gra1u-
ally all the poorest OF his flock, and
make every addition be of the pure
bred animals. It is better to do this,
even if only one or two can be pur-
chased a year. The flock will increase
in the natural way and as it multiplies
the owner will realize that he possesses
something that marks the cream of the
trade. Every animal that he brings
into the world has it's price, and price
that huctuates much less than that
given for inferior stock. Such we'll
bred stock can always be sold. There
is scarcely herd of good pigs, COWS or
sheep that cannot. find a good customer
even in the midst of dull and depressed
times. This is the financial difference
in the returns of the two herds. One
adds to uncertain and varying income,
the other brings an assurance of GER
tain definite profits and values that
can be depended upon at all times. The
man of business sense can readily see
which will prove the most profitable to
him in the end.-Indiana Farmer.

The Goat a. a Shepherd.

Sheep are too slow in their move
ments to suit goats, which cover more
ground in day and are more inclined
to herd in one bunch and less addict
ed to scattering. When a few goats
are kept among sheep not herded, the
goats will often, for the sake of COM
pany, stay with the sheep. They are
useful in this connection, as goats al
most Invariably come home at night
and sheep follow them in, thus often
avoiding the danger of having any of
the flock killed by dogs or wild ami
mails at night. Sheep and goats do not
interbreed and so can be allowed to
run together with impunity.-W. G.
Hughes, in Farm and Home.

warm weather Shipments.

When live fowls are sent to market
during very warm weather the rule is
to save the expense by crowding as
many as possible in one coop. Water
is placed where only few can reach
it, while the food becomes mixed with
filth. When a coop of live fowls is
placed in car every fowl sits perfectly
still while the car is in motion, making
no attempt to eat or drink; but if
plenty of drinking cups are provided,
and the birds have room enough in the
coop to move, the attendants will give
them water whenever the car stops.
There is always a loss in weight of
live fowls sent to market, but with
proper precautions and due regard
for the rights of the fowls much OF
this loss at points of destination will
be avoided.-Farm and Fireside.

Gaining Control of weeds.

The nearly obsolete practice of
summer following could be revived in
many instances with profit. We have
many noxious weeds that ripen seed
with grass, and therefore thrive in
meadows. If the weedy grass were
given back to the land by a summer
blowing fertility would be added, and
by summer cultivation the field could
often be made sufficiently clean to
permit new seeding to take the
ground. I have found an early sum-
mer blowing and a rank midsummer
manurial crop a most effective means
in gaining control over some noxious
weeds. It was change in cultural
conditions they could not stand

It has been demonstrated that sor-

it does not contain poison. The cause
of the injurious effects has not been
ascertained, and the Nebraska expert

not TO feed the sorghum-neither frst

sre some who have used it without the
cattle showing the effects of any in
furious substance that may be con-
tanned in the plants.
