Estimafes al Feeiinn.

One of the difficulties encountered by
farmers who study the experiment sta
ton reports IS the estimates of feeding
based upon the live weight of the ami
mails. The presumption is that large
animal should eat more than a smaller
one to maintain itself. and the tables
are given on such superstition. The
fact is that farmers know that size
does not always regulate the amount of
food required. Individual characters
ties govern the matter to large ex-
tent. and small animals will frequently
consume more food than those that are
larger. No two animals are alike. and
there is no certain rule that can be bas-
ed upon weight of the animal when
feeding.

va1ne AZ Mood Ashes.

When wood ashes are applied lime is
unnecessary, as every 100 pounds of
wood ashes contain about 40 pounds of
lime. Ashes vary greatly. as they are
produced from different sources, easily
absorb moisture. and their composition
cannot be determined without careful
examination. The most valuable in
credient in ashes is potash. the proper
ton being about 6 pounds to every 100
pounds Of wood ashes. Ashes also con-
tain about . per cent of phosphoric acid
and about 3 per cent of magnesia. Coal
ashes are of but little value. Wood
ashes give excellent results on all kinds
OF crons. especially grass.

The farmers wife has about three
times as much work to do as her city
cousin. She assists her husband in run
ming the farm Without her aid the
husband would often find it difficult to
farm successfully In many cases the
farmers wife is not treated as she
should be. Frequently the husband has
been drinking. end after his death the
mortgage takes the property. and the
wife has either to struggle for her liv-
ing or go TO the almshouse. A good
many of our farmers are members of
some beneficial order. This is all right
and good. but the wife can never feel
happy. because she has to lose her hrls-

following is how | treat my wife: For
every article sell from the farm | give
her 8 per cent. of the money for pres

and when / need money ! use it. and
when she needs money she uses it. The
) per cent. is all profit to her. and is
intended to be used by her in case she
should become a widow. Some of the
readers of the Practical Farmer may
think 8 per cent. is very small portion,
but it amounts to great deal. Farm
ers sell good many articles in year,
often more than they think they do.
In case farmer would only sell $500
worth in a year the wife would get $25.

man should enter the farm at the age

age of 63-or 40 years. IF he sells

Kerosene Emulsion.

Many speak of the emulsion as trou-
blesome to make. l find it very easy
by the following method: A bar of
common washing soap is dissolved in a
quart of water and allowed to boil.
then two quarts of kerosene are added
to the boiling soap. This is churned.
while hot. with a revolving egg beater;
force pump would be better. but do
not own one. and a beaten answers
very we'll. When the emulsion is prop
erly made it will come like butter. so
thick that the beater will not work. A
pint of the thick emulsion is diluted
with eight quarts of water. making
liquid resembling skim milk in color

VALUABLE PROPERTY BURNED.
Brick Plant and Freight Cars the
Prey Of Flames.

disastrous fire occurred at the plant of
the Washington Hydraulic Brick Company
at Waterloo station in Virginia, a short
distance below Jackson City, last night In
addition to the almost total destruction of
the plant dozen or more freight cars were
burned. The exact amount Of damage done
is not known, but 1t is roughly estimated
to be about $4,000. The bright blaze from
the fire made it appear that the conflagra-
ton was in South Washington, and hun
dreds of people from other sections of the
city started in that direction. Many of
them continued across the bridge and went
all the way to the brick yards. They re-
manned until about IL O'Clock, by which
time the fire had done its work.
1t is stated that the fire started in the
main building of the plant and soon COM
municated TO the little frame Sheds which
were spread over two acres of ground The
