MATTER OF DOUBT.
The Train Boy Knew People Pretty
Well, But He Had a Guess
Coming.

Zone day last fall" said wellknown
Montana man, Il was riding on train in
my state and got to be on pretty fair terms
with the train boy by buying few of the
things he had to sell. 1t was not very
formal kind of train, and when the boy
had finished his rounds he came over to
sit with me and chin Bit as he said. i
was willing enough, as he was a sharp lad
and there was nobody else to talk to, and
he went right at things.
DO you know he said, that can tell
by looking at man mighty near what he
is. Now, there's that fellow over there in
the corner; he's Chicago drummer.
can tell him by the way he let's his money
go and the flip style he has when he talks
to people. And that chap over there with
the silk hat on, he's a preacher from q
country town, I'm dead sure, and I'll go
ask him if you say So
IL didn't say so, because / didn't care a
continental, and the boy went on with his
descriptions of the people on the train. At
last l asked him what he thought was.
had on a pretty hashy suit of light stuff
and was thinking was looking pretty well,
so was willing to risk the boys venture.
He looked me over for full minute very
carefully.
: "'Well,' he said, at last, you've got a
sloo of money, but amt dead sure whether
you are cattleman or gambler. Wash

A correspondent of the Breeders
Gazette describes self-feeder sue
cessfully used on his farm. The frame
work is all bolted together, as nails
will not withstand the strain when
pulling the feeder from one field to
another. The runners are made of
heavy 3x1O oak planks, each 16 feet
long and placed 6h feet apart. The
runneds are rounded at both ends so
that it can be pulled either way.
Nine 2x4 joists, each nine feet long,
are bolted onto the runners, about
twSfeet rparts These joists are then
fastened together by 2x6 joists, which
projeat over the runners far enough
to support the the feed trough. The
trough is built about the width of
scoop. This permits of easily re-

USING STRAW STACKS.
Every Farmer Who Is Raising Small
Grain Has This Rather WeiEhty
Problem to Solve.

II he is a good farmer he will not
allow the stack to stand and rot down.
Aside from waste, there is nothing
about a farm more unsightly than old
straw piles. \ nent and energetic
farmer does not have them. He finds
a use for all the waste ON his farm,
and therein lies the secret of success.
There il wealth and prosperity for the
man who utilities all the waste. The
way to use straw is as feed. BY the
usual method of stacking, its value as
feed is very soon destroyed, however.
1t is the common practice to put the
boys on the straw pile when threshing
Such thing as stacking the straw to
keep it is rarely thought Of The only
idea is to get it away from the machine
80 that the tbreshing may progress as
fast as possible. Well preserved,
bright straw fed to cattle as rough
feed would prove of great value
1t would prove of great value also,
In the construction of sheds. a shed
made by piling straw around and over
a framework of posts and poles is
much warmer than any shed that Is
made of lumber. A lean-to made of
straw, facing the south, where the
chickens can run and scratch on the
warm days of winter, will more than
pay for the trouble of making it in
the number of eggs laid. AS bed
ding for cattle and horses, it can have
no superior. 1t readily absorbs the
liquid manure, which is the most valu-
able part, and is usually lost. 1t is
thus converted into n most valuable
fertilizer il hauled directly from the
barns to the fields. Nothing is then
lost. L. Irwin, in Agricultural Epit-
omist

INCUBATOR CHICKS.
IL IL Less Trouble to Raise Them Than
II In to Run After Lot of
Setting Eeas.

Blessings on the man who first in
vented the incubator. 1t seems little
short of marvellous how these wooden
machines (when intelligently man
aged) will hatch chickens so perfect
~. They really have better start
in life than the chicks the old hen
matches, for the very simple reason
they have no lice. How many read
ers have tried Matching ducks in an
incubator, wonder. There is no pref
tier sight than one of those wonderful
machines full of little ducks when the
last ones are out of the shell. The
greedy little things begin to nose
around" with their long yellow bills)
for something to eat before they get
dry. l Matched three little quails in
my machine last summer. After they
got dry tried to put my hand on one
of them and he hoped away to the
darkest corner, the little fellow didn't
want to be "cotched."
Some people condemn artificial in
cubation. For my part would rather
give the incubator the little care it
requires than to run after a lot Of
setting hens. 1t is so aggravating to
have ar~pld hen stay off her eggs till
they0re cold, or maybe break half the
eggs. Some old hens are like some peo-
pie, there isn't much dependence to be
put in them. And if you have good
incubator land believe the most of
them are all right you can depend on
them as money makers. Of course
there is more work attached to raising
the chickens. So much depends on the
person, whether he make success of
the chicken business. Then | think
one has to have love for any work
he is engaged IN to be successful.-Na-

Lime n. n Plant Food.

There is one kind of plant food that
gives good results on all soils; it en-
tiers into the composition of all plants
and it is cheap, yet it is not given a
place in the list of fertilizers. 1t is
lime, and it is well known to farmers
as a valuable and useful agent for
promoting utility. But farmers who
use lime should not omit fertilizers,
as lime does not take the place of
manure or fertilizers. 1t should be
applied in the fall, but il is not too
late to give the land light dressing Of
lime in the early spring. 1t will show
good effects on both heavy and light
soils.

SAVING COLONIES.
Bees That Arc Apparently Dead Can
often He Saved by Taking Them
Into n Warm Room.

Colonies of bees apparently dead may
be found, owing to the unusual wealth
er conditions existing this winter. The
A, b, c of Bee Culture gives the follow
ing:
sometimes colonies may run out of
stores unexpectedly, and, TO all APP
pearances, be dead from starvation,
the greater part of the bees on the bot
.>>>H board and others with their heads
in the cells. Now, if they have not been
in this condition more than three or
four days, they can often be revived
by taking them into a warm room.
AS soon as they begin to show signs of
life, sprinkle them with diluted honey
or sweetened water. In the course of
two to six or eight hours they will
come to life, as it were, crawl up on
the combs and be nearly as well as il
their mishap had never happened.
Such cases occur most frequently in
the apiary, when the nights are not
very cold. Valuable queens may often
be saved when but few or none of the
worker bees can be resuscitated; for
il is strange fact that the queens ten
acity of life is greater than that of any
of the workers.
"In my earlier experiences was try
ing very hard one year to winter my
whole apiary, of As colonies, without
any loss. did it, but one of them
came so near being lost that it was
saved only by the above treatment;
therefore, friends, don't be in a hurry
to decide that colony is lost ire
