Writing in Drovers' Journal, G. p.
Reynolds says: The horses stomach is
built for more highly concentrated feed
than the OK. He cannot take the same
kind simply because he has not the
capacity to digest it in sufficient guam
titles to supply his system with the
needed nourishment. The result is
when too much hay is fed the horse
becomes badly pot bellied and is una
BILE to secure the required nourishment
to work at the best advantage. A work
ing horse should have plenty of grain,
which furnishes his nourishment in the
most highly concentrated form that is
practicable to feed. 1t requires also a
certain amount of hay, but the hay is
not to supply it with the main portion
of its nourishment. The most expert
enced teamsters are relying on grain
for the main portion of the feed, not
only because experience has demon
strated that it Is the most economical,
but that it is also best for the horse.

When canning fruit by the ordinary
method, fill the jars to overlooking,
then run the handle of the silver spoon
down the side, inside the Jars and on
all sides to liberate the air bubbles, so

THE APPLE AND THE SHEEP.
Stock the Orchard Heavily, Feed
Generously and Note Results.

Stock the Orchard Heavily, Feed
Generously and Note Results.
I am very sure l am right in adyis-
ing the pasturing Of apple orchards
with hogs and sheep. If people will
only read what / write carefully and
follow my advice to the letter, / am
sure they will find how to raise high
colored, fine grained and well favored
fruit, freest from insects, that will
keep longest and in best condition, and
to raise it at least expense. But they
must not misunderstood me, says J.
S. Woodward in Rural New Yorker.
do not advise seeding an orchard nor
keeping it In sod.
Simply stop cultivating. put in the
sheep, feed them and let the grass
come in naturally, If it comes at all.
Don't think that 10 sheep are enough
for a ten acre orchard, but put 10 or 10
sheep to the acre, overstock so heav
lily as to compel you to feed and then
feed enough to keep the sheep thriving
and feed with a view of feeding the or
chard through the sheep
To convince himself that l am right
let any man fence off al acre of or
chard and put Is sheep into it, provid-
ing plenty of fresh, clean water for
them at all times, and feed them 10
pounds of wheat bran a day.
Keep the sheep there until the apples
are fit for market, no matter if they
do eat few fallen ones and all they
can reach from the lower part of the
trees. There will be just as many when
it comes picking time.
Just watch and see how soon the
trees will take on cloak of green col
or, thick and vigorous, and how hard
and stocky the wood will become; how
firm and highly colored the fruit will
be, far beyond the part kept in con-
slant cultivation.
While this amount of bran will make
the sheep thrive better than in any
pasture, however good it may be, they
will eat the grass to the very roots, eat
all sprouts from about the roots and
take every fallen apple long before the
contained codling moth or maggot can
escape, and their constant tramping
under the trees will break up the sur
face and in a great measure conserve
the moisture for the use of the trees.
If Is sheep be kept on an acre and
they be fed Is pounds of wheat bran a
day for seven months, the length Of
time they may be kept in the orchard
before and after the crop is picked,
they will be fed 3,150 pounds Of bran,
which will contain 81 pounds potash
102 pounds phosphoric acid and SO
pounds of nitrogen.
Sheep are quite prone to lie about in
the vicinity where fed, and by chang
ing the location of feeding troughs
once or twice week they may be
made to scatter the manure very even
ly over the whole orchard.

seven ~ foot by As are all that is
necessary. Twelve feet is the best
length from the fact that all are cut
feet long, thus avoiding all waste.
The lumber used in covering the
framework should be of good quality
and practically clear, or if knotty the
knots should be sufficiently firm that
there will be no danger of holes. think
inch pine matched stuff is prefer
able. If this width is used, 10 II foot
boards will cover the building in good
shape without any great waste. In adj
dition to this, there will be required
eight more boards of same width and
length to cover the ends. 1t will be a
good idea to face the ends of the struc-
ture just below the roof boards and
also put boards on either side of the ga
bic. If this is done, there will be re-
quired three more boards of the same
length and width as the others, save
that it is preferable if this lumber is
unmatched stuff.
1t does not seem to me advisable to
build one of these shelters without Civ
ing it floor. 1t is sometimes done, but
because of roofing in the winter time
such arrangements are seldom Satisfac-
tory. A floor is the cleanest, healthiest
and generally most convenient. 1t is
most apt to mean warm nest for the
hogs and. what is more important, q
dry one. In putting in such a floor L
would use nothing save 2 inch plank
probably foot wide. If this size is
used, only three 10 foot planks will be
necessary. | do not believe that floor
of inch boards doubled would prove
satisfactory in such place on account
of the likelihood of holding moisture
and ultimately decaying.

conditions, although the best results
cannot be secured with the last three
varieties except in rich, moist soils.
Glen Mary, William Belt, Marshall and
Nick Dinner also are quite satisfactory
under high culture.
Sample in plant and fruit compares
well with any other variety. Morgan,
Ponderosa, Ridgeway and Ruby have
also been quite satisfactory.
OF the newer sorts that fruited in
1900 Fl. and H, Echo Emma, Carnage,
Gladstone, Stouffer, Johnson Early and
Wool are most promising.
Particularizing in regard to some of
the varieties, the station says:
Greenville.-Plants good in vigor of
growth and productiveness. Berries
are large in size, but not of sufficient
firmness. In other points is very good.
Gandy.-Vines are fairly vigorous
and hardy. Fruit is large, of high
quality and firmness. Season late.
Only moderately productive, but the
variety holds out WELL
Glen Mary.-Plants of good growth
and healthy. Fruit is borne in album
dance, is Of large size, of good quality
and firmness. One of the best market
varieties under high culture.
Marshall.-This variety is a strong
grower and quite prolific. Berries large,
dark red and uniform. Quality and
texture are very good. Except on strong
soil the foliage is slightly subject to
blight. This is one of the best large
berries upon moist, rich soils.

About Gapes.

Gapes are usually due to filth, the
eating of the residuum of food previ-
ously given and feeding in damp places.
1t is believed that they are propagated
in earthworms. but no facts have yet
been discovered regarding such claim.
The best remedy for gapes, if the
chicks will eat, is to add a teaspoonful
Of spirits of turpentine to mixture of
one pint of cornmeal and half pint of
middlings. Thoroughly incorporate the
turpentine with the dry material, then
scald as much of the material as may
be required and feed to the chicks on a
clean board. Put ten drops of carbolic
acid in every pint of drinking water
and change the water frequently once
a day. There is no sure remedy for
gapes, and inserting feather tips in the
windpipe to draw out the cape worms
can be done only by an experienced
person. There are suggested remedies,
but they are sometimes as fatal to the
chicks as the gapes.

CONCERNING WRINKLES.
How 10 Prevent aud Remove Thes
Aunoyfnr Lines

How TO Prevent and Remove These
Annoying Lines.
The best preventive Of wrinkles, &C
eording to a physician who has made
the matter a study, is a happy DISPOSE
ton which meets life and its trials witt
a serene countenance. 1t is worth
while, it may be interpolated, if one has
not the disposition, to cultivate its coun
terfeit presentment in the expression
Of smiling repose," which, a celebrated
French beauty declared, takes away
half woman's years, whatever they
may be- Wrinkles are merely express
sion habits crystallized by practice.
FAN in the way of raising the eye
Drows constantly or pickering the fore
head between the eyes in troubled per
plexity, and soon the lines of latitude
and longitude thus produced remain
Grows feet" are really pleasant lines
caused by smiling and laughing, which
is why they usually impart a kindly
touch to the countenance.
The lines about the mouth come
quickly, for no feature of the face is sc
mobile and expressive of every passive
motion. 1t is wise, therefore, to &c
back of the effect to the cause and stifie
anger, bitterness and other unlovely
feelings, which will speedily write theil
indelible message. All lines come quick
est in fabby, relaxed skin.
For this daily douche of water il
which a little alcohol or cologne has
been put is useful. Bathing the face
first in very hot water, then instantly
in cold, tends TO tougher the skin and
keep it smooth. For cheek wrinkles
sleep on small hair pillow. Massage
with good cold cream is also helpful.

The Dairy Quickstep.

Time Is an element of great impor-
lance in dairy work. Milk, cream and
butter are Of exceeding perishable ma
lures, and, like all quick decaying ar
ticles of food, they are hotbeds for
breeding all kinds Of destructive bac-
terra. The only way to fight this ene-
my is by celebrity of action. Hurry
the milk from the COW and out of the
stable. Hurry the cream from the
milk and spare as little time as posi-
bic in getting the cream into the churn
and the butter to the customer. To
carry out this idea clean the stable,
clean the cow, milk into covered pals,
use separator, use cream starter,
use swing churn and start the butter
to the customer the night of the day it
is made.
This, says L. S. Hardin in Home and
Farm, is strict business principle and
should be pushed for all it is worth,
and that means large profits for the
trouble taken, for it may be safely
stated that you will lose to cents a
pound on your butter for every day
you linger past the SO hours necessary
to carry out the plan outlined above.

CHEAP HOG SHELTER.


Comfortable and Easily Constructed
House For Swine.
There is tendency with many farm
ers to turn from the old fashioned hog
house to Gle small shelters large
enough to hold possibly a half dozen
medium sized pigs. says Michigan
farmer in Breeders Gazette. Even
farmers who still cling to the large
hoghouse are using small shelters in
addition to the other where hogs are
turned off into a field, and in some
cases in small yards the large house
might be used The small house has
the advantage of being more easily
handled and involves less attention to
keep it In order.
In building such structure the first
thing is to build the frame. This is SIM
pie and can be modelled largely after
the general outline of the shed. The
first things necessary are the run
ners on which the affair is to be built.
Perhaps nothing better than two Z
foot planks 8 inches thick and 6 or
inches wide can be secured. HeWed
sticks from the wood lot may also be
made to do. The general dimensions of
the building are 6 feet each way at the
base, feet 6 to the gable, with a 6
foot slant length to the roof. The frame
for the ends will follow the general
outline of the roof edge. The A shaped
ends are connected with gable piece
and two crosspieces somewhere be-
tween gable and where bases are nailed
to the runners. The runners are con-
nected by three crosspieces two feet
apart, to which the floor is to be at
tached For the general framework

Keeninn MILF Sweet

If the milk is to be delivered in good
condition to the consumer during the
summer months, it must be thoroughly
cooled and aerated and kept cool, says
Hoard's Dairyman. These steps are
absolutely necessary with all milks
during the hot weather. A great i'm
provement can also be made by looking
carefully after the cleanliness of cows,
stables and milk utensils, as there is a
great difference in the keeping quality
of clean and dirty milks. The whole
question of keeping milk sweet is in
providing a clean article, kept cooled
and well aerated. Personalities should
not be used under any condition.

Food For Late Chicks.

With chicks hatched in May the same
treatment as is given the early broods
will suffice. With June and July chicks,
however, this will not do. While, in
my opinion, it is never advisable to
give soft food to youngsters intended
ultimately for breeders, it is little less
than murder to feed it to late chicks.
1t is well enough to say it can be fed
in troughs and that the troughs can
be cleaned out, but it has been my ex-
perience that no matter how careful
one may naturally be this important
duty is often neglected. For that rea-
son, therefore, if for no other, the late
chicks should have nothing but dry
food. : Treat NJ. Right in Poultry

DUAL PURPOSE COW.


Red Poll Promises to Fill a Useful
Place on the Farm.
There are dual purpose COWS in great
numbers, says Professor Joseph f.
Wing in Breeders Gazette. They have
long been here. Those great Shorthorn
cows we used to have, their udders
swinging as they walked coming in
from the pasture in the morning drip
ping with dew brushed from the blue
grass, those COWS that gave their six
gallons of rich milk at a milking and
whose calves grew to be great 1000
pound steers at three years-there were
plenty of those cows here once, but
they are rarer now.
The Red Poll is coming and will fill
an important place with the farmers
who keep few cows, milk them and
grow their calves. While of quite
different type, yet the Red Poll fills
very nearly the same place that the old
fashioned heavy milking Shorthorns
