to the common ba Sement stables, and
with such a shed a more abundant sup
ply of milk is sure to be obtained.
1t can be built any length required,
that is, to accommod the number
of COWS kept on the farm, but should
always be IS feet wide and have posts
eight feet high. A row of common
stanchions can then be placed along
each side, and door made at one end,
through which the cows may enter. If
grain is fed, it should be put in the
feed boxes before the cows are admit
ted. A small quantity of salt should
always be kept on the floor, directly
in front of the stanchions, for thus
will the cows be able to obtain a suf-
fciency of it twice every day. Fur
thermore, this manner Of sailing is an
inducement for them to enter the
building and take their accustomed
place, let alone its tending to keep
them quiet while the milking is in
progress.
The sides and ends of such a shed
should be boarded up and down with
eight-inch stuff, leaving space three
inches wide between the boards for
ventilation and light. The floor of the
stable part may consist of the earth,
but if so it should be covered with
coarse gravel over layer of broken
stone. This will insure its keeping
dry.-Frederick o. Sibley, in N. Y.
Tribune.

and an ivory tongue to raise the
bark. The bud is cut (b) SC as to
take off a thin strip of wood. A slit
is made lengthwise in the bark of
the stalk one and one-half inches
long and transverse cut at the top
of this, as shown at C. The edges
of the bark are peeled back and the
bud slipped in as at d, being pushed
down to the position shown at e.
Strips of raffia are commonly used
to tie it. The string is started be
low the bud with a full turn and
then placed above where another full
turn is taken, when it is again passed
below and tied, as shown at f. The
edges of the bark are tied down Sc
curely over the bud. but not so tight
as to stop circulation.
The bud should be examined with
in a week or two. By this time it
will have become fast, if it does not
fail to grow, and the raffia should be
cut with a knife to allow for the
growth of the stock. Unless this is
done the rapidly growing branch will
outgrow it and soon be spoiled.
Nothing more needs to be done with
the bud until the following spring,
when the stock should be cut off
with an oblique cut about one inch
above, and all buds on the stock
should be rubbed off to aid the
growth of the initial bud.-Orange
Judd Farmer.

IDEAL MILKING SHED.
Arranged So as to Secure the Largest
MOdicum of Cleanliness and
NentiIatiOn

No dairyman can be the possessor of
too many conveniences, especially
when they are obtainable at a compar-
atively small expense, and the excel
lent milking shed presented in the ac-
companying cut is something appre-
ciated more and more the longer it is
used. 1t is great improvement over
the usual plan of milking in an open
yard, where broken stools, spilled milk
and lost tempers are the rule rather
than the exception. Added to this, it
always secures a dry place, no matter
how stormy the weather may be out
side, and that with comparative quiet.
The arrangement for cleanliness, ven
tilation and the like is also far superior

PUMPKINS FOR cows.
As an Addition to the Winter Grain
Ration They Have Proved
InVaIuabIc

Judiciously planted in the cornfield,
crop of pumpkins can be raised as a
sort of double crop that will make a
most excellent food for cows in win
ter, says correspondent of the Amer
lean Cultivator. The value of root
crops is well known in helping 20 regu-
late the bowels of the stock when fed
heavily on grain in winter. Pumpkins
come under this same class, and they
should be fed for about the same pur-
pose. Nature seems to have designed
the pumpkins for the corntield, for one
can raise just enough to feed with the
crop of corn produced on the same
land. In addition to this, the pumpkins
furnish excellent food for chickens. 1t
is better for stock to have the seeds
removed, and it is better for the poul-
try to have the seed crushed, ground
or broken. The feeding of pumpkins
will largely decide their merits. To
let the stock eat them in the field is
a great mistake. Gather them all for
winter food and wait until other sue
culent food has disappeared. Then
commence to feed the pumpkins, grad
ually increasing the quantity until the
full diet is reached. One large pump
kin or two small ones per day for each
animal is a liberal diet and sufficient
to keep the system in excellent condi-
ton. They should not be fed in large
pieces at all, for there is danger of
the cows getting choked with a big
lump. Cows actually break off and
loosen their teeth trying to break up
pumpkins fed to them in large pieces.
1t is no difficult work to break the
pumpkins up and then chop them fine
with a sharp spade. Put them in
wooden tub, and in a few minutes a
free use of the spade will reduce them
to small pieces, which the cows can eat
with relish. When first broken open.
scoop out all the inside part, thus re-
moving the seeds, which ometimes
prove dangerous to the COWS. Put the
seeds and pulp in which they are buried
into a sausage grinder and grind them
up into small pieces. The seeds will
thus all be crushed, so that the chick
ems can eat them without danger. They
will also eat the pulp itself. This prac-
tice is certainly commended by the
chickens, which enjoy the feast and
look forward to the ground pumpkin
seeds every day. Every part of the
pumpkin is thus utilized, and one can
obtain a winters supply of good food
for both stock and chickens from the
corntie3d without much extra cost for
labor. Those who do not plant pump
kin seeds freely in the cornfeld lose
far more than they realize and miss a
chance to get double profit from the
land

The method of selling fruit at auc-

SCIENCE OF BUDDING.
Clip This Article and study 1t Care
fully as often as You Get
the Time,

Budding is the operation of setting
. single bud, bearing little or no
wood, upon the surface of the stock.
1t is the method most commonly en-
ployed in propagating fruit trees.
There is no general rule of when to
bud, but it can be done at any time
when the buds of the new growth
are sufficiently formed for setting
and the bark on the stock will peel
or slip easily. Early summer or June
budding is precticed to a consider
able extent by nurserymen on peach
and plum trees, where they wish to
obtain a growth from the bud the
same season. New and valuable va

Calves Need Gentle C,re

ton of the COW depends upon her
treatment when young. To make a
gentle mixer the calf should never
receive a blow or a harsh word, in
order that 1t may have confidence in
the attendants, and it will not there

break in calf than to worry with

rietles are usually worked in this
way.
Among northern nurserymen aAl
fruit growers, budding is commonly
practiced in July and August. Or
chardists are taking up this system
of propagation and using it in place
of or in connection with top graft
ing. If the buds fail to live the
branches can be grated the follow
ing spring. The operation is more
easily and quickly done than graft
ing.
The illustrations show clearly the
different steps in the operation. A
branch of the new growth with well
developed buds is selected (a), the
leaves cut off, leaving part of the
leaf stem half-inch or more in
length. This serves as a handle in
setting the bud. A sharp budding
knife is used, having a rounded point
