The Veterans Outing.

The excursion of the Veteran AS
ISOLATION Blue and Gray to White
Springs yesterday was a most sue
cessful affair. The train bearing the
exeursionists, and consisting of eight
coaches, left the union depot at 1880,
comfortably filled, and enough more
were picked up along the line to
make standing room Il premium be-
fore the destination was reached.
Arrived at the Springs excursion
lists found amusement in sort Of
go-as-you-please way; some saw a
ball game between the Palatka and
White Springs teams wherein the
former were done up to the. tune of
II to 8, and others listened to Attor-
ney f. Noble Calhoun's really able
oratorical jolly of the old Vets.
About six hours were allowed at the
Springs, and some say it was all the
time they needed in their business.
The party got back to Palatka about
8 D. IN. The excursion was the most
successful one ever given by the Vet
Grams.

this, it being so much easier-aye,
agreea 5le--on u cold winter morning
to dump the feed in the trough and
hurry back to warm tireside as soon
as possible.
Now, all this trouble can be easily
eliminated, for the most part, by at
taching cover to the back of the
trough, using the leather straps for
the hinges, with a hasp at the front
edge, staple driven into the board of
the pen, and wooden or iron peg
thrust through it to keep it up during
the day, as is shown in the accompany
ing illustration.
At night the peg should be pulled out
and the cover allowed to drop down
over the trough. Then anything it
may contain will not freeze very hard
and snow or dirt which might other
wise be blown in will be kept out.
Remember, good wide board, a
hasp and staple and about one hours
time are all that is required for the
construction of this valuable device !;
valuable in that it will save many
pounds of meat, to say nothing of the
laborious work of cleaning out frozen
feed.-Frederick o. Sibley, in N. Y.
Tribune.

LARGER SCHOOL BUILDINGS RE-
QU1RED.

Owing to the recent large influx of
population into Western Canada it
has become absolutely necessary in
many parts Of Manitoba, Assiniboia,
Saskatchewan and Alberta to in
crease the school accommodation. In
many places buildings have been
erected that are only half-occupied.
This is perhaps as good evidence as
will be found not only of their salts
faction with their present school sys-
tenn and their confidence that it will
remain as it is, but also of their firm
belief in the future expansion of the
country, in increased immigration,
and it further indicates that they
have little fear that the well estab-
lished rate of births in civilized COM
munities will not be maintained
there.
The free homestead laws and the
cheap railway lands offer great in
ducements, which are opening up the
new settlements. Agents of the Gov
eminent of Canada are actively at
work in different portions of the
States for the purpose of giving in
formation to possible settlers, and
advertisements are now appearing in
a large number of papers, giving the
names and locations of these Agents.

WINTER CARE FOR EGGS.
The Hens Have . Good Warm ROOst.
ing Place and Quite a Little
Exercise,

Wintering fowls without succumb-
ing to some dreaded and incurablc
disease has been perplexing qucs-
ton with many a farmer and fancier.
To winter successfully one must not
have too much light, good warm
roosting place free from drafts, a
sunny room to be used as a scratch
ing shed, to be filled four 20 six
inches deep with bri ght straw, cut
hay, cut fodder or leaves. Last Win
ter, straw being scarce, had to re-
sort to the use of cut fodder, and
find it makes an excellent litter to
scratch in.
To winter successfully, one must
keep the fowls busy, either scratch
ing or by tying up heads of cabbage
so they will have to jump up after
it. Clean out the house often, spread
air-slaked lime over the dirt or floor,
and put coal oil on perches each
week with an old paint brush.
For roosts, get three boards about
six inches wide and of length to suit.
bore a hole in each end, then saw
notches one inch deep and two
inches wide on same edge as the
holes are bored. Then take q No. 9
fence wire, place secure in the hole
with one end, then fasten the other
end to a rafter or .ioist above, so all
three boards will be of equal height
from the floor, about 20 inches.
Then place roofing lath 1x2 inches
crosswise of the three six-inch
boards. This makes of course a
swinging roost, to which some OBJ
ject, but after the fowls get used to
it they will learn to balance them
selves at any disturbance. In clean
ing out the droppings, take out the
1x2 lath and you have nothing in the
way. With what objections it may
have, it beats the old way which is
advocated by some by making stair
step roosts. Most fowls will try to
get on the top perch, sometimes fall
ing to the floor again. Where roosts
are placed on a level there is no dan
ger of overcrowding. for they are
willing to roost anywhere.-D. E.
Hathaway, in Farm and Home.

THE NEW FARM BARN.
Some Ideas ON Building, Ventilation,
Light and Proper Construction
IF the Stalls.

If YOU have new barn in mind, this
winter is the time to read up the SUBJ
ject and get ideas. Here are few
hints:
Have plenty of light and air. In the
past barns have not had enough OF
either. The large amount of ammonia
in horse stable makes it get foul
quicker than COW stable. Two cubic
feet of air space per pound OF horse,
one cubic foot per pound of COW 10
plenty.
The ideal place for horse is the
box stall, but where there are many
horses this would take too much room.
Box stalls should have four or six
inch board projecting all around the
sides and on the door, about three feet
from the floor, to keep the horses from
scratching their tails. A very small
box stall is not as safe as the ordinary
stall. 1t should be at least IL by II
feet and IA by 16 is better.
A box stall is always desirable for
valuable driving horse, a sick horse
or mare in foal. For most horses the
ordinary stall must be used They
should face away from the windows to
avoid the direct rays of light in tho
horses eyes, and to keep the drafts of
air from striking their heads.
The stalls should be eight feet long
where the horse stands, and at leas
four feet ought to be left for pas
sage behind the stalls. The latter
should be four or six feet wide. If
five the horse is apt to get cast. In
four-foot stall a big horse may hit
his hips, and six-foot stall is more
comfortable because the inmate can
lie down and rest at ease. You are mis-
taken if you think that just because
horses cannot talk they don't like to
be comfortable.
For heavy farm horses it is best
to have the floor pitch towards the
front, SO as to rest their back muscles
by throwing the weight more in front,
but this cannot always be arranged.
AS near level as possible is the most
practicable. 1t is better to absorb the
urine than to run it off.
Never bore holes in the floor for this
purpose, for the cold air would come
up right under the horse. Stone makes
poor floor for a horse stall-it is
so hard and cold unless a great dea
of straw is used. Asphalt is not as bat
as stone, and can be used, but there
is nothing better than wood. The soft
err woods are better than hard, which
become slippery for horse when get
ting up. White elm is soft, wears well
and is not slippery, and is hence very
good for the purpose. 1t is better
| than hemlock.
Abundant fresh air is as necessary
| for the health of horses as of men
But beware of drafts in winter, espe.
cially from overhead hay shutes. High
hay racks are poor things anyway, as
they necessitate an unnatural position
and may cause weak knees.-Fa11n
Journal.

uoxx to Handle Seed Corn.

AS 1 save from 300 to 500 bushels of
seed corn per year, l will tell you the
way that 1 have found most satisfac-
tory in selecting and keeping. have
a house with cement floor and trimmed
on all sides two feet high, with bins
raised two feet from the floor and legs
timed. This makes it rat and mice
proof. 1t is made with plenty of
doors and windows on all sides so that
the wind can blow through in fair
weather and closed and fire in bad
weather until corn is thoroughly dried.
I select my seed when husking; can
get the grains and ears more uniform,
and a better quality than at any other
time. Have never failed in getting a
good stand of corn when selected and
cured in this way.-W. NJ. Green, in

Facts on HOK-Fe ed ling.

Young animals will give more gain
for the same amount of feed than
will older animals. There is no adj
vantage in farmers carrying along
their animals with just enough feed
to keep them alive. It is not wise
to have the hogs on scant feed eth
er summer or winter. Swill and
milk will not work well with silage,
that combination making an unbal-
anced ration. During the winter
season some of our best feeders
make corn one-third to one-half of
the ration, using swill with ground
peas and oats for the balance of the
ration. One feeder that we know of
makes his swill of milk and mid
dlings, making thin mixture. Into
barrel Of this is thrown a shovel
full of hardwood ashes.-Farmers'
Review.

PIG TROUGH FOR WINTER.

endangering the trough, not to men
ton the wasting of food which the pigs
should have turned into flesh. 1t is

Gathering Stones from Fields.

Cool weather is an ideal time to
gather stones from the meadows and
tillable pastures. Their room has
much value, and it will not pay to let
them cunlber the ground. To avoid
backache and sore fingers, potato
hook may be used to gather the
stones on boat, and, if any are
partly Undecided in the earth, the
tines will more readily pass under
them than ones fingers. The large
stones will have to be handled in the
old way. It is useless to expect an
ideal meadow with many stones on
the surface, even if they are quite
small

comes very near to explaining itself.
The device consists of three moder-
ately heavy pieces of wood for legs.
which are attached together at the
top by heavy bolt. Some six or
eight inches below the union of the
three legs a heavy clevis is secured
to the middle leg. From this clevis
two chains extend downward to prop
or distance and double backward to
fasten onto the ears of the kettle,
which then hangs suspended. The
length of the legs will depend on
convenience and the size of the ket-
tie they are to support. Those
shown in the cut are II feet in
length and were made from medium.
sized well seasoned fence rails.
