below will find ready approval among
those whose duty it is to care for these
animals. All that it is necessary to do
with this apparatus Is to attach one
end to fence, hang the pail in the CEN
ter and attach the calf to the outer end
for few feelings, and after that he
will see to the attaching himself, rs far
as his end is concerned. 1t is not nat
ural for calf to drink at the age they
are usually compelled to begin, and one
of the results is that when the animal
does learn to drink, 1t swallows the
milk SO rapidly that an attack of in
digestion is sure to follow.

A HANDY BARREL.
that this will prove Il boon in the case
of fruit and provisions is undoubted.


The Importance of having land made
well pulverized and mellow before
seeds are sown or planted in it is not
all in the fact that the roots penetrate
it better when SO than when 1t is in
coarse Jumps, and thus find more cas-
lily the plant food that is in it, though
this is an important consideration, but
1t is true that the seed terminates more
rapidly after two or three days, and
with some varieties week, before 1t
comes up in soil that Is but half work
ed, in which, by the way, much seed
may fail to terminate at ALL The soil
that is fine and mellow fits closely
around the seed and gives supply of
moisture to all parts alike. 1t excludes
the drying air, and yet it is more even
~ warmed by a bright sun, which helps
to draw up moisture from below by
capillary attraction. An extra day
spent in putting field in good condi-
ton before the seed is put In will not
only hasten the growth and maturity
of the crop. but will increase Its
amount.-Exchange.

Fumirate the Fowls,

A desire is sometimes expressed by
poultry keepers for a box for fumlgat-
ing fowls. The larger poultry supply
houses have such in stock and one is
shown herewith. The essentials are a
tight box with hole so arranged that
the birds head is outside the box. The
space around the birds neck must be
packed TO prevent escape of smoke.
During the operation the legs are tied
to keep the fowl steady. The tobacco
stems or similar material must be so
placed as to avoid risk of fire or acct
dent. A smoking of this kind should
last three or four hours, and is the best

Bride Held for Poisoninu.

Mrs. james Scroggins, n bride of three
weeks and but 10 years old, was arrest
ed at Waterloo on the charge of attempt
ing the life of her 65-year-old husband by
administering poison to him in his food.
1t is alleged Scroggins came home to
supper at the usual hour. He had eaten
but little and had drunk a cup of tea
when he was seized with severe pains
which We're followed by purging and vom-
iting. A physician was called. who Mt
once pronounced it as case of poisoning,
the symptoms being those of strychnine.
Officers were informed of the affair and
set on foot an investigation. According
to the best information obtalnable the
honeymoon of the couple has been n
stormy one. 1t is alleged that the wife
had made threats against her husbands
life and these will doubtless be brought
forward to fix the responsibility for The
poisoning upon her. The defense will
probably endeavor to show that the dis
tress from which Scroggins suffered may
have been due to ptomaine poisoning.
Mrs. Scroggins had nothing to say after
the first outburst of grief following her
arrest, but declares her innocence of any
attempt on her husband.

Growing Beans.


Neither the gardens nor field beans
need very strong heavy soil. They
do better on n light loan, rather sandy
than clayey. 1t is warmer than the
clay or muck soil. and thus admits of
being planted earlier, and the bean is
almost tropical in its liking for hot
weatiie: and warm land. If the soil
is made tea rich the vines, @ay grow
so rank as to shade the ground, keep
ing it cold. which results in less beanJ
and there is more tendency to spot or
rust on damp. cold soil. Barayare
manure is better than that from the.
horse stables, as the bean needs but
little nitrogen. Like clover, 1t gath
ers nitrogen by means of the nodules
on its roots. The manure should be
well rooted, and fresh manure should
never be used.-American Cultivator.

Great Interest In Noted Case.

Unusual interest is taken in reversal
Just made by the Supreme Court of Iowa,
the case being the celebrated one of State
VS.. G. @. Jameson, which grew out of
the arrest of G. @. Jameson of bows
for the alleged use of illegal weights.
After hard fought legal battle, the case
went to the Supreme Court which sent
1t back for another trial. This was fol-
lowed by another appeal being taken to
the Supreme Court which has just hand
ed down a reversal of the decision of the
Franklin County Court and another trial
will probably follow. The original ac-
ton was brought by number of farm
ers living near Dows and created nothing
short of a sensation at the time owing
to the defendants in the case. The friends
of Jameson expect his acquittal at the
next trial

The currycomb and brush is just as
needful OH the COW as on the horse.
Cows should be curried and brushed
daily, and before milking the teats and
udder should be carefully wiped, so
that all uncleanliness is removed;
Furthermore, the cloth used for this
purpose should not be used for more
than one milking. The hands should
be perfectly clean, and the first milk
from each teat should go onto the floor,
but never into the pail for there is
likely to be bacteria in this first spoon
full. 1t is considerable trouble to handle
cows in this way, and TO keep the milk
free from faint, but it pays.

How to Grow Cow Peas.
To grow COW peas the soil should be
prepared the same as for the corn crop,
and If the best result, especially in the
seed crop, is desired, some fertilizer
should be used. The varieties selected
should be those that will ripen the crop
before early fall frosts. hence in North
these sorts should be the early ones,
such as Warren's extra early and Early
Blackeye. The later varieties may be
grown with success i'll all sections of
the South. According to the section
the seed should be sown from the mid
die of May to the middle of June,
and be drilled in at the rate of
twelve pounds per acre. drilling
