built poultry house, which, while COM
Portable in winter, was too hot in sum-
mer. It finally became infested with
vermin, which [ could not keep rid of.
L finally built sheds of poles and old
hay, and have used them with the best
results. These sheds are made 25x1OO
feet and ten feet high, with poles set
in the ground six to eight feet apart.
Use poles for the top pieces, put cross
wise. Fence wire is stapled on top of
the cross pieces lengthwise, about II
inches apart.
About two feet of old hay IS put on
and tar paper laid evenly over the hay,
with the ends projecting on the north
about five feet. Six-foot small-mesh
poultry netting is put on the sides all
around the shed, and before stapling
to place the wire is set in the ground
about eight inches to keep out rats.
Poles are then set about three feet
from the sides all around the shed,
with the exception of the south side,
and few strands of wire tackled to
them to keep the sides in place. When
the hay is put in it is tramped well I'M
til it is built up to the paper and the
projecting laps laid over.

duck and Stats nailed over the duck,
For entrance a flap is left and board
tackled to the duck endwise. Loops of
leather or wire are stapled to the board
to draw taut. This will give the build
ing plenty of light and will answer
better than window glass. During the
warm months the duck is removed and
put away for future USE The sides on
the north are also removed for yentila-
ton. In the fall new sheds and runs
are erected upon a new location, the
poles removed, the old pile of hay
burned and the ground plowed for a
garden for the next season.
During the winter when thu wealth
er requires it these sheds are heated
with steam from two old steam cook
ers in a greenhouse, which is located
about the center of this row of sheds.
Two-inch pipe is laid through the
sheds upon blocks of wood in Il trench
20 inches deep. 1t is covered with
boards and then dirt. The pipes
through the shed are not covered, with
the exception of Stats over the trench.
The steam does not return to the
greenhouse, but is let out at the end
of the last building. I breed fancy
poultry altogether and was unable to
get 'paying prices for stock and keep
them in perfect order until I adopted
this style of buildings.-Orange Judd

Prof. w. A. Henry, in Feeds and
Feeding, says: ''The following direc.
tions for reducing cobs to charcoal
are given by Theodore Louis: Dig a
hole in the ground five feet deep, one
foot in diameter at the bottom and
five feet at the top for the charcoal
pit. Take the corncobs, which have
been saved in a dry place, and, start.

keep adding cobs so that the flame
is gradually drawn to the top of the

the cobs. Then take sheet-iron
cover, similar to a pot lid in form,
and over five feet in diameter, so as
amply to cover the hole, and close
up the burning mass, sealing the
edges of this lid in turn with earth.
At the end of - hours you may un-
cover and take out fine sample OF
corncob charcoal. Charcoal so pro-
duced may be fed directly, or, better
still, compounded as directed by Mr..
Louis in the following manner: Take
six bushels of this cob charcoal, or
three bushels of common charcoal.

VALUE OF ALFALFA.
1T Makes an Excellent Permanent
Pasture Which Lasts for Eight
or More Years,

Those sections of the country
where alfalfa can be grown have in
this crop one of the most valuable of
our forage crops. 1t supplies the pro-
teln which is such an essential food
element, and does so at small cost,
because of it's immense growth when
all conditions are favorable. It has
been grown successfully in portions
OF nearly every state in the union.
Alfalfa is valuable in a permanent
pasture, as it lasts for eight and ten
years, as the roots often penetrate
the soil to a depth of ten feet, though
usually about half this depth.
1t requires rich, loose soil with a
porous subsoil. The ground should
be plowed deep and then finely pull
verified, and be free of weed seed as
possible, for during the first year the
plant is very delicate. Hence it is
best to SOW on land that has been oc-
cupied by well-cultivated plant. It
is sown broadcast or by suitable drill,
generally about 20 pounds of seed per
acre. When sown for hay more seed
is sown, as the hay will be finer. The
seed is sown in the spring after all
danger from frost is passed. Alfalfa
is quoted at Is to 20 cents per pound,
according: to the quality.
Would not small test patches of al
falfa be wise in districts where it
is not now grown? AS stated, it re-
quires a porous subsoil for best de-
velopment, and this is lacking in
many sections of our middle west
states; yet in all of these there are
areas in which alfalfa can be grown
if pains are taken to get it estab-
]ished.-Rural World.

And gently stroked my curls and gave
A little sigh and babe me rise:

All, heaven! My soul was crushed that day
My heart was riven by the blow!
I wonder where her album is
And if my portrait still is there?
All, yesterday she welcomed me
And, smiling. rushed to get chair.
Upon the mantel I beheld.
The portrait of a pudgy child:

And sighed. I fancied. when 1 smiled.

that horrible nose had ended every

have loved her. But how could he be
expected to carry forever in his heart

in New jersey; Lily's father, in order
to give the best appearance to the
