PORTABLE SELF-FEEDER.
Total Cost, Including Lumber, Hard
y ware and Labor. VIII Not Exceed
sixty Dollars.

A correspondent of the Breeders
Gazette describes n 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 0H 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
two feet apart. These joists arc then
fastened together by PKG joists, which
project over the runners far enough
TO support the the feed trough. The
trough is built about the width of a
scoop. This permits of easily re-

moving the grain from the trough
should you choose to do 80. This how
ever, is seldom done. The bottom Of
the feeder is built high in the mid
die and slopes TO the feed trough on
either side. The roof projects n lit
tie over the sides and measures about
IL feet from cave 10 cave. A door or
cover is provided at either side for
the feed trough. IL one has cows in
the lot at night, but wishes calves TO
grain from the feeder during the day,
he can simply drop the lid when the
cows are in the lot and raise il on
turning them out. Calves can then eat
oats or shelled corn or whatever you
may have in the feeder for them. Cut
the rafters for the floor out of 14-foot
2x4's, making them each 3h feet
long; SO rafters OF this sort will be
needed for the bottom of the drop on
the sides.
After the feeder is sided up with
shiplap or flooring, the roof of 1x3
shecting is put on, which is after
wards covered with shingles. 1t is
good idea to put several braces across
the feeder from cave TO cave. Bolt
these to the 2x4's. Strength will be
given to the structure by running a
half-inch rod the length of the feed
er and making il fast just below the
grain doors. The feeder is about 16
feet long, and has a capacity of about
1000 bushels OF corn. Total cost, i'm
GLIDING lumber, labor and hardware,
will be about $50 or 500. From so TO
60 cattle can be fed at one OF these
feeders. Have slides in the troughs
so the amount of grain can be adjust
ed TO the kind of feed.

have an old hen stay off her eggs till

Washington, Oct. 22.-Npthing came
to the state department from Minister
Conger in regard to the proposed pre-

of peace negotiations asked for by Ii
Hung Chang and Prince Ching for
Oct. 20. The presumptions Of the Off
cials therefore are that the press dis
patches announcing that it had been
postponed is correct. This postpone
ment was due probably to the unreadi-
ness of the powers generally to begin
negotiations, the ministers in all like
lihood not having received their final
preliminary instructions from their
governments for their guidance.
