in tops of two front ones.
Make a box Of the dimensions thought
most suitable for the object in view, a
little longer than broad, however, in
all cases. Put by inch crosSpiece
on bottom of box near the center.
Round off the projecting ends of this
crosspiece to fit in the tops of rear up
rights of runners. Put another lighter
crosspiece on bottom of box in front
of the other, at right point to have its
projecting ends rest in the top notches
Of the front uprights. Over the ends
Of the center crosspiece that rest in the
rounded notches put iron straps or
clips to prevent the ends of crosspiece
from moving out of place and yet al
low them to turn in the notches. The
front of box can now be raised, the
center crosspiece on bottom acting as
a pivot by reason of it's rounded ends.
A framework is put inside Of the
four uprights, extending under front
of box and being braced as is shown
in the illustration. To keep box from
dumping while the sled is being loaded
or in transit the front end is fastened
down to this framework by a hinge
hasp and staple such as are used to
hold shut the lid of a chest, door,
etc. If the crosspiece which acts as
pivot is placed little in front Of box
center, the sled when evenly loaded
will dump itself as soon as hasp is dis
engaged. If little to the" rear Of
center, the front of box will have to be
raised by hand when desiring to dump

Irrigation Is Fertilization.

The value of silt is illustrated in the

banked space was half full of mud and

it. The exact location Of the pivot
crosspiece will therefore determine the
ease of dumping, and the matter may
be settled to suit the wishes of the
builder Of sled.
When the box is in it's horizontal po-
sition and the hasp is fastened, insert
wooden or other pin in the hasp
staple in the place that would be oc-
cupied by paddock were the hasp
used as a door or lid latch. Make an
end gate at the rear of the box. In
Fig. A shows the box inverted in or
der to explain fully the manner of ap-
plying the supporting crosspieces, and
B shows a side view of the sled and
makes plain the dumping idea.
While this kind of dumping box
could be used on any size of sled, so
far as the main idea is concerned, it
would not be satisfactory if the box
were made too large, as the increased
height of the uprights. in this case
would make the sled inconyenient to
load and handle On sled of a size
adapted to one horse ordinarily, or two
horses in case of being loaded with
very heavy material, the sled is very
satisfactory. 1t is especially conven-
lent to- have this sled stand where the
manure from the stable can be thrown
into the box, and when full hitch on
the team and haul it to the field and
dump it.

The following query was sent to
The Breeders Gazette: "Please tell
the feeds to- be used with a herd of
beef cattle fed for sale to get the best
results for the money with grain as
follows: Ground corn, sol; oats, $24;
bran, $40; linseed oil meal, $31. May
gluten meal be proftably fed? Is there
any danger of causing blindness in
feeding cottonseed meal?' -.
w. A. Henry gave this answer:
If fat only is desired, use ration
consisting of three-fourths cornmeal
and one-fourth bran. If it is desired
not only to have the animals fat, but
in the finest bloom, then use one-half
cornmeal and one-fourth oats or bran
and one-fourth linseed oil meal. Gluten
meal and germ oil meal can be sub
stituted for the bran or linseed oil meal
without loss. Cottonseed meal will not
produce blindness in fattening cattle
unless it is fed excessively and for a
considerable period. 1t is the abuse
and not the legitimate use of this high
ly concentrated material that brings
trouble with fattening cattle.
Registered Bulls.
The demand for registered bulls of
the various beef breeds ought to re-
main good for years to come, says Live
Stock and, Wool Growers Journal
Breeders of registered cattle have it
largely in their own hands to maintain
good prices. and this they can do if
they will make steers of the medium
to fair bull calves, although they are
from good families and subject to reg
istration. Nothing will hurt the regis
tered bull trade so much as selling in
ferior animals for breeding purposes.
No matter how good the herd, there
will necessarily be some inferior AMI
mails. and breeders can i'll afford to sell
! such except for slaughter. Breeders
should work to create permanent de-
mand for bulls. and this can only be
accomplished by selling animals whose
progeny will show up all right
Care of Stock.
Feed and management have much to
do with the health as well as thrift
ness of stock. says Kansas Farmer.
Young and growing animals require
feed which will make bone and muscle
rather than fat. Bedding literally with
some dry material will add greatly to
the comfort of the animals during the
winter. $3.50
Keep Cattle Growing.
The aim in keeping stock should be
to secure the greatest growth in the
shortest time possible. The health and
vigor of all animals are much more cas-
fly retained by good care than regained
when once lost by improper treatment.

Percheron stallion Of good size and ex-

winner at the Paris exposition in 1900,

him the best draft horse on the ground.
He was approved by the French gov

Right side Wear. out First.

"The journals in street car trucks al

This sounds funny, but it's fact.
Right handed people involuntarily
choose seat on the right hand side Of
the car, and most people standing up
reach for strap on the right. Any
conductor will tell you that the right
hand seats always fill up before the
seats on the left, and If you make it a
point to count the number of persons
occupying seats in crowded car you'll
almost invariably find that there are
more people squeezed into the right
hand seats than in the left. This, with
the majority of standing passengers
holding on to the right hand straps,
throws most of the weight on the right
wheels, and the extra friction grinds
the right side journals down before
those on the left are much worm"

depicted poor boy sitting up in bed

his only pair of trousers. The boy,
