LIVE STOCK JoTr1NGs.

A very large sow about to farrow
should be carefully watched. Unless
the breeder gives her attention at
narrowing time some of the young
are likely to be overlaid, mashed.
When examining a horses teeth
for soundness, or for cribbing, re-
member that the presence of a dis
agreeable odor means something,
even though evidence of unsoundness
is lacking.
The young calf is not always able
to get about soon after his arrival.
He is therefore at the mercy of mis-
fortune. Help him along until he
understands what his mothers udder
was made for.
Make a pet of every calf. Don't
make a nuisance of it, however. A
gentle calf never has to be ''broken''
for mixer. It is the same with a
colt. Train him from colthood up,
and when he is old enough to work
he will be ready for business.-Farm-
ers' Voice.

THE WEED QUESTION.
talk and the Use Of Chemicals VIII
Hardly Solve 1t, hut Intensive
Farming Will.

Weeds are never of much concern
TO the energetic farmer. He takes
them as a matter of course. He
knows they cannot stand the cultiva-
ton that his hoed crops require, and
are rendered impotent by q we'll
managed rotation. Men are con-
stantly trying to find some easy way
of getting rid of weeds. About every
chemical that can be purchased will
kill weeds, but the cost of the chem
icals and the labor of applying make
the problem big one. In some cases
we have known salt bountifully
sown along the roadways to kill
weeds. The work was apparently
accomplished, but proved to give only
a temporary advantage. The rains
diluted the salt and the land again
became open to the reception of weed
seeds.
In England and in France expert
ments have been carried forward to
ascertain the effect of spraying
weeds with certain chemicals, not
ably sulphate of iron solutions. The
results have been what might have
been expected-partial success and
partial failure. IF we could find
some inexpensive method by which
to annihilate all weeds it would not
be to the advantage of the farmer.
The weed is the thing that tends to
make immense farms Improbable
and tends to encourage what we call
''small farming" The many small
farms are of more benefit to the ma
ton than are the few large ones.
Abolish weeds and it would be easy
for the great combinations of capital
to get control of all the farm lands.
The army of weeds is bulwark
against such an invasion. Intensive
farming destroys weeds.-Farmers'

whe. the Rec. Cle.. House.

The honey bee, like every good
housekeeper, begins cleaning house
in the spring, as early as the wealth
er will permit. They may be seen
at the hive entrance bringing out the
bees that have died in the winter,
bits of comb, and everything that
may have accumulated in the hive as
waste material. They are not con-
tent to drop this at the edge of the
bottom board or near the hive, but
cart it all to some distance away,
and it looks strange to see a bee fly
ing off with the body of dead COM
rade as large as itself. This work is
done before they begin to gather
pollen or honey, and any colony that
does not attend to this as soon as
they can take good flight needs
looking after, as it is probably very
weak, or perhaps queenless. After
they have completed this work, they
are ready to go to rearing brood,
and they may need feeding.-Rural

is also made of split lath, except tho
outside and crosspiece, which are full
width. The cover is hinged at a a to
top of double wall and the other end
rests on top of brooder. The sliding
door in cover is for feeding and wa
tering. '.
At evening, while the chicks are in
brooder or in the middle of the day.
while they are in outside runs, the
covers are raised and hooked to the
ceiling, the partitions are lifted out,
throwing all the runs into one, and
are very easily cleaned. The advan-
tages are when the chicks are put
into the runs they are there to stay.
There is no flying over partitions, nor
flying out of doors opened when wa
tering or feeding, as the slip doors
can be opened just enough, to put in
anything desired, as trough, drinking
fountain, 'etc.-Orange Judd Farmer.

GRADE UP THE FLOCK.
err, One That Has Been Bred
Right and Is Right.

Have you got that strong, vigorous
cockerel to grade up your flock, to in
crease the egg yield and build up the
size of the birds you sell to market ?
1t is quite time the bird was in the
breeding pen, becoming acquaintedw with
his mates and preparing for the
springs duties.
It is an old and familiar axiom that
the male is half the pen. He may be
mated to a dozen females, hence the
chicks have any one of a dozen moth
ers, but he is the father of all and inn
parts his vigor and personality to all
the chicks.
Not only should this head of the
family be a pure-bred male. but he
should be a bird of real merit, bred
with care and for purpose. Such a
bird has the power to reproduce him
self and will certainly improve next
seasons flock. A well-bred cockerel,
one bred from meat producing and egg
laying ancestry, will decidedly i'm.
prove the laying qualities of the pullets
and increase the size as well.
tits common mistake to breed from
anything left over from the holiday
killings, because nothing else is at
hand. Don't repeat that mistake this
year. Start right by getting a good
male bird, one that has been bred right
and is right; and his cost will be re.
turned to you many times over in the
laying vigor of his pullets and in
creased size of the chickens marketed.
Get a pure-bred male for this years
breeding; get him now.-Practical
Farmer.

striking Fact. About Horses.

At the recent meeting of the Texas
Live Stock association the statement
was made that there are now 3,OOO,-
600 fewer horses in the United States
than there were ten years ago, that
there are 100000 more in active use
than in 1900, and that there is bet
ter demand for our horses from
abroad than for many years, if ever
before. It was brought out in the
discussions that we could not by
any reasonable measures restore our
numbers in less than six years. and
that in the meantime we would have
great difficulty in supplying our for
eign customers, if indeed we were
sufficiently equipped to hold their
trade. It was agreed that the OUT
look just now for the industry of
horse breeding is especially promis-
ing.--National Stockman.

AN IMPROVED GRANARY.
up-to-Date StoFehouse for Corn
Which II Absolutely Safe from
Encroachments by yermin.

The dimensions of my granary-you
see have got past the corn crib period
entirely--are as follows: Length,
stills, Is feet; plates, 20 feet; width, IA
feet; total length of posts, IL feet;
height of floor from the ground, 3A
feet. These dimensions may vary, ac-
,ording to the amount of grain to be
stored. Wide strips of tin shield the
tops of the posts from the invasion OF
rats and mice.
Inside the plan is as follows: Corn
in the back part, the crib running
across the end, and on each side row
of grain bins. These are arranged so
that the ends nearest the alley be-
tween, which is four feet wide, may be
removed in case they are not needed.
These empty binsa store room for
q corn shelter, or for bran or other
feed. A loose floor overhead also fur
nishes space for putting away many
articles which might otherwise be cast
around anywhere. The inside is lined
with matched southern pine three
eighths thick. The outside is bat
tened, and the boards being surfaced
the whole is painted. The entire ex-
pense of this granary was not far from
SIS, and [ have received the compli-
ment that it is the best job I have
done in the way of building, and have
spent small fortune in that line. In
fact, it pleases me exactly. I never
have seen but two mice in this gram
airy, and those carried in with empty
bags; and, as may be supposed, I was
on nettles until they had been found
and settled with. Igot the cat as quick
as could and entered upon the most
exciting hunt [ ever took part in. It
beat the famous fox hunts of the city
folks who come out to kill time all
hollow. And 1 succeeded, which is
more than the city chaps who hunt
for the fun of the thing can often say.
In my granary keep my corn
knives, corn ties and bags-every-
thing, in fact, that concerns corn and
garden stuff. The satisfaction of
knowing that what raise is now free

he = Away.
He felt disgustl the whole
thing, and he was 81 ore disgust
cd when Sparks went bdnd with
handkerchief in his hard, begging the
other fellows to wipe an imaginary
black spot off his nose. This request
was always granted, and for a time
lii was quite the usual thing for the
men to pull out pocket mirrors and
handkcrchiefs and rub their own
noses when Dawley approached them.
Still, nobody could have guessed how
the proceedings exasperated tho
young man from his manner, and the
joke naturally died at last.
If at first he decided that Miss
Dixon's action was somewhat indell-
cate he changed his mind about it
afterward. It might have been in
anybody else, but she was too en-
tirely a child Of nature. tempered
with Chicago, thatit seemed on con-
sideration almost proper. a day sell
dom passed that he did not go up
to her desk to talk to her, and he
found himself very much amused by
her artless chatter. He felt that he
was unbending. He occasionally
hurled Babylonic bricks at her and
was not in the least offended when
she told him that his language was
'sfierce'' and desired him to come
down to where she could reach him
without standing on tiptoe and rip
ping the seams in her sleeves. He
told Johnson, the one man in the
house with whom he was on intimate
terms, that "the little girl was SIM
ply delicious"
.'Watch her chewing gum now" said
Johnson. &
ooh, WE'LL" replied Dawley, tolerant.
ly, ''that's just a part of her. You
ought to have heard her telling me
about her ma and her pa, and the way
she called down young lady friend of
hers about something the young lady
friend had said about ,her,3to another
young lady friend"
''All the same, you oughtn't to get
her to thinking that you are gone on

you do, only you know that there's be-

"Great Scott, mol" exclaimed Daw-
ley. ooh, of course, jolly her once
in awhile, but she knows how to take
that--L guess she does.'
When Dawley began to think it over
lie was not so sure whether Miss Dixon
knew how to take him. He had Occa-
sionally made protestations of an
ardent and consuming passion. He
had called her Emmeline for some time
when they were alone, but she had
laughed at him and he had supposed
that she had understood perfectly well
that he was not in earnest. He was,
in the main, right-minded young
man, and, recalling the fable of the
boy and the frogs, he reflected that
what was sport to him might be death
to her. He decided that he would keep
himself steadily to the lace depart
ment and away from Miss DiNon's
then, yielding to a feeling of curiosity,
he went over and found her chatting
in a very animated fashion with Sparks
and showing no sign of mental an.
guish.
"They must be keeping you busy
these days, Mr.. Dawley," she called to
him as he passed. "Haven't got
Crouch, have you?"
"Oh, no." replied Dawley, rather
frostily and without stopping.
He felt irritated, and vaguely UNI
easy, and when he heard her join her
musical laugh to Sparks raucous bray
a moment later his irritation turned to
something like rage. For another
week he avoided her, and during that
time his uneasiness became more de-
fined. He lost his appetite to a great
extent, which he could hardly account
for. At the end of the week he con-
Guided that as the young woman was

She was not busy and as he APP

HANDY BRooDER HOUSE.

The brooder house have used for
the past five years accommodates
nicely $50 chicks until eight weeks
old. It is nine by twelve feet with
shed roof, three feet high on lower
side and seven feet on higher side.

for brooder and five feet for runs.
The part used for the runs is double
walled one foot high. The remainder
of the house is built of one-inch boards
