leaning back with legs crossed one knee as high
as his head and still asleep. He took only one
look and then flew up, alighting on the conspicu-
Gus knee At this juncture every one else in
the car became intensely interested, and nearly
all the passengers were on their feet, anxious
to see what the man would do vixen he awoke.
1t needed cnIy one more sound from the rooster
before the stout man opened his eyes. and with
a sudden start backward he threw up his hands,
in astonishment, while roars of laughter cams
from every part Of the car
This excitement was too much for the
rooster and with jump he flew UP on the
bell rope which sagged down under his weight,
and the Chicago express, laundering along at
fifty miles an hour, came to such a sudden stop
that many passengers were thrown from their
feet il a confused muddle- The train had no
more than come to a stop when an irate con-
ductor came hurriedly into the car and de-
rnanded who had stopped the train. BY that
time the owner Of the rooster had awakened,
and. taking in the situation. reached Up and

Schwab some time ago. and plans for the beau-
tfful home which will be erected Tor MIN on lhe
plot have been completed. The building VIII
be of light granite, with a frontage on RIVERSIDE
Drive, overlooking the river. and highiy orhd-

The architectural style is. according 10 the
architect "the first period of the French Renais-
sance which is q transitional period leading
from the French Gothic to the Renaissance
representing the period Of architecture from l4oo
to 1850"
Interesting buildings have been taken as
models. and from these the plans for the eX-
terror of the new structure were made The
buildings are the Chateaus ChenonceauA' b!olS
and Azay-le-Rideau.
The Chateau Chenonceaux which has been
admired by generations, was selected by Mr.
Schwab for the composition OF the main build
ing while the compositions of the side and rear
buildings are taken from the Chateau BIois
and the Chateau Azay-le-Rideau-
The grouping Of the different parts Of the
building is made to produce a pleasing
picture both in line and color and SO as to
present finished facade on all sides Of the
building which VIII stand in the centre Of the
block.
The dimensions Of the building will be about
- by 100 feet. and it will be surrounded by
terraces, gardens and lawns.
In his description of the Schwab house, Mr.
Hebert the architect, says:
The front facade facing Riverside Drive, is Il

Azay-Ie- Iiideau. and is arranged as to include
a large porte-cochtrc with a safe giving exit

The south facade has composition similar to

We were little surprised to hear
that skilled veteran breeder and feeder
Mr.. S. II. Todd state at a farmers in
stitute recently that the five Chester
White barrows which won first prize
at the Chicago fat stock show last fall
were raised and fatted upon an eXclu-
sive corn diet, with nothing to drink
but water, and we were still more sur
prised to hear Mr.. T. state in the same
connection that the dam Of these same
barrows was fed nothing but corn and
water during the period Of CESSATION.
We have had lifetime experience in
raising hogs for market, and it was
quite a revelation to us to learn that
premium pork could be produced upon
a purely corn and water diet. We do
not doubt Mr.. Todd's statement in the
least, as he was only stating what was
told him, but we are little skeptical
about the ACCESSIBILITY Of adopting that
method of feeding for ourselves ana

besides corn that will contain more OF

Carrots as Horse Feed.
It will take seven or eight pounds of
carrots to equal a pound of cornmeal in
feeding value. 1t will be found impos
sible to substitute carrots for grain
with hard worked horses, because car
rots contain far too great an excess of
water. In a hundred pounds of carrots
there are nearly ninety pounds of wa
ter. Three or four pounds of carrots
daily for a hard worked horse and
eight or ten for a light worked horse
may be used with advantage, as they
are greatly relished by this animal and
are succulent and wholesome. The ex-
cessiye use of carrots will tend to make
the flesh of horses soft, which leads to
undue sweating during hard work and
warm weather. Giant or mammoth
carrots are not good horse feed. While
the roots are very large, they are ex-
cessively loaded with water and are
not palatabie.

Good Horses In Demand.

The editor of the Maine Farmer, in
response to an inquiry, says regarding
the breeding interests in that state:
sNot for thirty years has there been so
good an opening for live young man
with clear idea of quality to engage
in the horse breeding industry. Work
out your fancy breeding always to the
best, and watch sharply after the blood
inheritance of the individual. BE sure
that sire and dam not only have the
size, action and courage wanted, but
that they represent these in their blood.
There is no room for poor horses to-
day, but there is every chance to eX-
pect a profit by growing a good, free,
stylish roadster"

Do You Believe lit

The oldest chestnut about the dog
which could count sheep and bark as
every hundredth passed through the
gate has been improved upon some
what. The latest version is that of the
man who owned a bitch and pup.
When the sheep were running past, the
mother gave zap for every fifty sheep
that passed, and the pup instantly
made a scratch on the ground with it's
paw. Thus, after the flock had gone
through, all the man had to do was to
count up the pups tallies to arrive at
the total number of sheep. 1t is said
that there are some people who have
not themselves seen this remarkable
instance of canine sagacity who don't
believe the story.

COWS AT CALMING.
SOM ething About the Animals Care
at This Important Period.

at This Important Period.
I believe in having COWS dry six
weeks or two months before calving,
and when thoroughly dry feed liberal
ly I'D to within a week of parturition,
says a writer in Farmers Advocate.
It is the greatest mistake and the most
common to have cows thin in flesh be-
fore calving. A cow should be fed but
lightly a week before calying and a
week or ten days after calving, as her
digestive organs have not recovered
their normal power, and there is also
the great drain Of motherhood upon
the system. We have thus two weeks
of light feed with a great drain upon
the system, and if cow is not in good
"heart" before calving she will be al
together too weak to do good work
after. A. cow has been likened to q
steam engine. Well, we get up steam
before we start the engine. A COW in
proper condition before calving is OF
course likely to develop large udder
If she is any good. Feed lightly when
the udder has developed to a ''com-
Portable" size. The best feed, find, is
ensilage and a little bran and cup
Of oilcake twice a day, with some nice
hay. A few days before calving give
one and half to two pounds of ep-
som salts, one tablespoonful saltpeter,
one cup black mOlasses mixed in two
quarts of water as drench and the
same day or SO before the calf is
dropped. If the udder is ''leg spread
err" or caked, give one tablespoonful
saltpeter twice day as long as you
consider advisable. 1t is a mild purge
and Trims the blood. There is moth
ing better to reduce caked udder be-
fore calving than to put halter ON
the COW and take her for one mile
walk. If the weather is cold be care
full that she does not catch cold after
her walk. Blanket her.
