ABOUT BELGIAN HAREs.
breeding of Th1. ha1naal as-an INDUS
try began, If Is Now Clainaea,
Ten Years A<o-

In answer to a number of inquiries
in regard to the Belgian hare, we
find, upon investigation, that the
breeding of this animal IN this coun-
try as an industry began about ten
years ago. The breeders are natural
ly enthusiastic and possibly are too
optimistic in their view of the future
OF this constantly charging business.
1t is claimed by them that no other
line of breeding offers anything like
the profits that the breeding of the
Belgian hare does. Both the meat
and the hide are valuable. The cost
of producing the meat, it is claimed,
is not over five cents pound at the
most, and we have been Informed BY
breeders in the vicinity of Denver,
Col, that the meat in that market
sells from Is to 25 cents a pound.
The meat of a young Belgian hare is
highly eXtolled by those who are ac-
quainted with its quality, and all such
unite in saying that as a toothsome
article of diet it cannot be excelled
by any meat that comes to our tables
The hare is exceedingly prolific, the
doe sometimes producing So to so
young hares in the course of the
year, and does begin to breed at ths
age Of six months.
The food is that which is common
ly eaten by sheep, and should be a
variety which can readily be provid-
ed from oats, clover, roots, bread and
milk, etc. All the shelter that is
needed is an open shed that viii
always be dry and must be clean.
Cleanliness in the hutch must be
maintained. Three by four or five
feet is large enough for hutch The
nesting box, which must be provided
for each breeding doe, should be three
feet long and two feet in width and
height. A portion of the cage should
be covered with wire netting. Cover
the bottom with fine straw. a litter
is from six to a dozen. When about
two months old the young are weaned
and the sexes separated. The weight
of Belgian, if pure bred, at ma
turity is from eight to ten pounds

SUCCESS IN FEEDING.
Some of the Methods Pnrxued byzth e
Man Who Is the Envy OF Less
Prosperous NeIEhbOrs.

The man who stands by the hog all
the time is the man who knows how
to make the business pay, ana here are
some of his methods: He has good,
we'll ventilated shelter for his hogs by
the time cold weather arrives, or in
the event of hard, cold storms He
feeds at regular hours; his troughs
are always empty when the hogs have
finished their meals, yet they show
signs of having had enough. He has
feeding floor and 6eeps it clean. He
has provided pumpkins OF squashes or
roots, for he knows that in connection
with gratis these things have a nu-
tritive value that the chemist does
not give them credit for. He knows
how much his hogs are paying for his
corn and other feed, and he knows he
ought to sell them when they do not
pay the market prices for it at least
His hogs are not wasting flesh root
ing in the ground for aIkalies TO aid
digestion, for he sees to it that salt,
charcoal and ashes are within easy
reach all the time. He has his fall
filters separated from the spring pigs
and feeds the first milk and mixed
ration that will develop bone and mus
Gle and not fat, which is net. what
they want to lay on at this stage OF
the game. He has rye for late fall
and early spring pasture and his brood
sows, old and young, are separate
from other hogs, that they may re-
ceive the food and care they need in
their special business. He gets we'll
paid for his labor in the manure he
saves and applies to his fields and
that would be lost to the farm if his
feeding stuffs were sold away from it.
He is delighted with high prices, of
course, but when they are low he fails
to see any market that viii pay him
better for his produce than well-fed
and well cared for hogs.-Farm, Stock

carry. AS seen in the picture, the
shade is furnished by parasol, in the
upper portion of which is placed a
revolving fan with slanting blades,
which drives a current of air down
on the head of the person carrying
the parasol. The fan is rotated by
simple and light mechanism, consist
ing of reciprocating rod suspended
in brackets parallel to the handle, the
upper end of the rod connecting with
gear wheel pivoted on the frame of
the device. This gear wheel meshes
with one revolving around the umbrel-
la handle, which turns the fan and
produces the breeze. To operate the
apparatus it is only necessary to in
sert one finger in the ring at the tip
of the rod, giving the latter a recipro-
eating motion to revolve the wheels
and bring the fan into action. The
fan blades and other parts of the de-
vice are so arranged that they fold
inside the parasoI when the latter is
closed.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

hour. In order to get the maximum
amount of work out of the mill in the
way of feed grinding, it is necessary to
provide a large bin above the grinder,
in which the grain to be ground can be
placed, and then have this arranged
in such a way that the grain feeds d.
rectiy into the mill whenever the mill
isrunning. With this arrangement must
also of course be provided bin into
which the ground meal can fail out of
the way of the grinder. Such an ar
rangement is shown by the cut, taken
from the Wisconsin agricultural expert
ment station bulletin No. 50. The
grinder there shown is arranged di-
rectly on the driving shaft of 12foot
geared windmill, and upon the same
shaft is shown a driving pulley, to
which belt may be attached for the
purpose of saving wood or driving any
other piece of machinery which the
mill has the capacity of handling. This
driving pulley can be used to drive a
machine set anywhere on the circum-
ference of a circle surrounding the
shaft and without disturbing the feed
grinder; it only being necessary to
throw the grinder out of use when the
driving shaft is desired for some other
purpose.-F. H. King, in Rural New
