The pros and cons of the Belgian
hare industry are appearing at lively

out the country.
The Wisconsin station has expert

lambs and pigs The average gain of
lambs fattened on rape was 211a pounds
per head weekly. A pound of grain
per head daily is the average amount
fed with the rape.
American apples shown at the Paris
exposition are reported to be vastly SUI

other nations. Our handsome red ap-

Shade in summer will add to the

summer sun and where if there is a

A big wheat shrinkage is reported.
Besides the failure already established
in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan it is
now agreed that the Dakotas and Min

you want swallow or two from the
spring between meals. Then there is
the excellent practice, not so common
as it should be, of using sponge and
water freely, especially on the parts of
the horse covered by the harness, at
the close of the days work. One can
scarcely imagine the comfort the
cleansing of these parts gives to the
horse, as we'll as the washing out of
mouth and nostrils and the sponging
OF his neck and head.
The chief discomforts Of the horse,
however, are found in the dark and
poorly ventilated stables and especially
on hot summer nights. The illustra-
ton shows how stables with door and
windows can be arranged to provide
good light and ventilation without adj
hitting flies or mosquitoes and all at
small expense. AS a rule stables are
too dark.
The illustration Of the barn door, Fig.

parts, plan Of construction quite pop

about three inches wide, braced at the
corners Upright pieces of the same
material ar, screwed on as shown in
the Illustration. The distance apart

horse should get loose in the stable,
breaking the netting with it's head. In
such cases the upright strips should be
placed closer together. otherwise four
over the space will be ample. The
wire cloth OF netting is used which can
be bought ut hardware stores at 2
cents square foot, and varies in
width from IS inches up. The screen
is made to swing inside and is bolted
when closed. The upper half of the
door proper swings out in most cases
and can be fastened to the side of the
barn with hook and staple. In the
event of strong wind or rain storm
this door can be closed and bolted from
the inside without removing the
screen.
Fig. 2 shows how the same plan of
screening the windows may be carried
out. Most barn windows are made to
slide, so that in this case the screen is
also made 70 slide, but in the opposite
direction from the window. 1t is thus
very easy to slide either the screen OF

HORSE COMFORTS.

Stable Devices For Hot Weather.
Easily and Cheaply Made.
The poor horse, the work horse of the
farm, usually receives little besides
food, water and an occasional brushing
off of the coarse dirt which covers his
coat. Yet all horse owners will agree
that the sturdy, faithful beast of bur
den of the farm Of all animals on the
place deserves good care. The prac-
tice of watering horses engaged in
heavy farm work between meals adds
greatly to the comfort of the animals
and makes them more willing in the

Telesraphing Chinese Words.
All the principal cities of the empire
have telegraphic service. An arrange
ment was made with the Russian tele-
graph authorities in 1892 by which
communication was established be-
tween Picking and Europe. The appa-
ratus and methods used in telegraph
ing in China are of the most primitive
description. says The Scientific Ameri-
can. The Chinese have no alphabet
but each word has sign. In order to
telegraph them each sign has to be
numbered and the number is sent by
wire. The receiving clerk refers to his
tables and translates the numbers into
the Chinese signs. The tables resem;
