The Yankee farmer usually gets good
living when he so plans his crops as 10
have something to sell livery week in the
year, and because he does so, almost
each week in the year he sells milk or
butter, eggs or poultry. The summer
and fall crops from the garden and field
are as productive as OF those who neglect
these smaller items. while in winter there
is store of apples, potatoes. turnips and
other root crops that will keep him busy a
good part of the winter in marketing
them, more particularly if he depends up
on home market. He may have a few
fat cattle or hogs to help swell his bank ac-
count when he sells them, raise few pigs
and lambs to sell. and he can so plan it
all that he has no long standing accounts
to take away what he receives when some
one more valuable crop is ready to be
sold

CIDER MAKING,
The Benefits of Filtering-HOw to
Make Barrel or Bag Filters.


Cider is greatly improved by filter
ing as soon as it comes from the mill.
The more perfectly the particles OF APP
pies are removed the better Will be tho
cider and the vinegar to be made from
It, Filters of cloth with small meshes
are good and remove the larger parti-
Giles. but It the very best results ara
wanted charcoal filter is necessary.
This can be quite easily made from an
ordinary cider or whisky barrel.
Remove one head and make of it a
false bottom two inches above the 9th.
err head. ON the false bottom nail
strips of hard wood. Between these
strips bore holes. Have faucet near
the bottom of the barrel. Above the
false bottom place three inches Of char
coal broken to the size Of birdshot, first
laying down piece of coarse cloth.
On top of this charcoal put another
layer of cloth and four or five inches Of
clean. we'll washed wheat or rye straw.
Above the straw put circular, hard
wood grating with openings an inch or
so square. Fasten this in place.
Turn water into the barrel and keep
1t running through until 1t issues en-.

plished, the filter is ready for use OF
course the filter will become clogged.
when it must be recharged. When
properly filtered. the cider will be free
from albuminous and mucilaginous
material and will keep much better
than when not treated.
In small way bag of heavy can
ton flannel may be hung over a tub
and the liquid filtered through this. By
lining this bag with paper pulp the
openings in the cloth can be so COM
pletely closed that nothing but the
pure liquid will get through. concludes

1t is as natural for u pig to put his
feet in the slop trough as to put his
nose there, and If he can get his body
lengthways of the trough it suits him
just as well to stand with both fore
and hind feet in the trough. An Ohio
Farmer correspondent has figured out
the following contrivance for circum-
venting this little trick; the cut ex-
plains the construction:
These troughs should not be made
longer, they are inconvenient to handle
or move about. The lumber used should
be durable, IA inches thick for one
side of the trough and s inches wide:

these BIRDS been Matched earlier and
