| MACHINE SHEARING EXHIBI-
TION.

The daily shearing exhibitions given
by the manufacturers of our three
sheep shearing machines were attend
ed by large and enthusiastic crowds
of flock masters who have never seen
the power machine peel the wool off
as smooth as billiard ball :" The ma
chine astonished the sightseers. 1t
is marvellous, the development in
sheep shearing machinery. Some
twelve years ago the first sheep shear
ing machines were brought to this
country with much ado They had
captured Australia and South Amer
lea, but were found wanting when it
came to clipping the big, heavy, sand
laden Western sheep. 1t took the
brightest mechanical minds in this
country to invent a sheep shearing
machine that could do satisfactory
work on American sheep, the major
ity of which are twice as hard to shear
as the ordinary Australian and South
American animal
All OF our present machines have
well nigh reached perfection, and the
range wool grower who still looks
upon the sheep shearing machine as
an experiment " is away behind the
times. According to reports given us
by the shearing machine manufacture
ers, several thousand machines will
be installed during the coming year,
and we would advise all wool grow
ers who expect to erect plants to place
their orders early. -American Sheep

GOOD CARE OF HOGS PAYS.

Too many are afraid of little work
and trouble. 1 clean the pens twice
a week. Hogs are supplied with plen-
ty of charcoal and water to prevent
disease. Air slaked lime is used for
a disinfectant. With proper care there
is very little danger of disease.
There are preventives, but no cure,
for cholera when it gets start. al
ways plant a patch of potatoes for
feeding hogs in the fall to get them
to market quick. l started bunch of
hogs on potatoes, fed them sixty days
with chopped and cooked potatoes,
with little whole grain, and the
hogs made gain of two and half
pounds day, or $50 pounds hog.
Care should be taken in starting hogs
on potatoes. They should be fed spar
ingly at first, increasing little every
time they are fed, not feeding more
than they will clean up. The best
market for hogs is at 200 to $50 pounds
weight Iowa Farmer, in Farm and
Home.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1902-01-29

corn sufficient was produced for the
experiment A portion of this was
ground into meal and the remaining
shelled corn was soaked i'll water, as
needed until the grains were soft
The meal was mixed with water be-
fore being fed No attempt was made
to feed the same quantities of meal
and soaked corn, but each lot was fed
all that it would eat up clean.
The lot fed soaked corn consumed
2, 1873 pounds and gained in weight 555
pounds. For 100 pounds live weight
they consequently required 1856 pounds
of corn. The lot fed on cornmeal re-
quired 410 pounds for 100 pounds gain,
therefore the soaked corn produced
the more economical gain, to say
nothing about the extra expense OF
grinding the corn. Tennessee Farmer
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1902-01-29

Keep on friendly terms with your
herd, cultivate quiet dispositions.
Have the hogs so that you can handle
them with ease. Quietness and pa
thence will aid in doing this. AS soon
as your hogs are ready, sell them; you
have no further profitable use for them
on the farm. The man who keeps his
hogs after they are ready to go, ex-
pecting to get more pound, will be
very apt to lose money while the one
who sells when the hogs are ready
generally hits it.
The man with the good stuff, and
who is not overstocked, reaps the
greatest reward, while the one who is
Overstocked, Of course underfeeds
and fails to get out of the business
what he should. A breeder who will
accomplish anything by permitting
his animals to lose in growth has the
expense and no work done. The
fault with the young breeder is in
keeping more stock than can properly
be cared for. There should be no
difficulty i'll seeing which is the right
road to pursue. Jersey Hustler.

HINTS FOR MOTHERS.

All children, girls as we'll as boys,
should be taught self reliance.
Children should be taught to sing sim
pie and sweet songs about the house.
Children should be taught to say
"Thank you" as soon ms they can speak.
A baby should never be frightened by
stories told by an ignorant or thoughtless
nurse.
Good literature that is interesting and
adaptable to the small minds should be
plentifully supplied for the children.
child may be made gentle or rough
according to the manners and actions of
those about him, for his greatest desire is
TO initiate.
WEAKLY" children may be greatly
strengthened by daily salt bath, and IL
possible sea salt should be obtained for
this purpose.
a child should be taught to gargle as
early as possible and should never be al
lowed to be stubborn" about taking
medicine, for dsobedience in this respect
is not infrequently risk of life.
Children should be given light supper
of bread and milk at o'clock and put to
bed at G or a little later until they are
five years old. After that time their bed
time may be fixed at for several years.
Every precauton should be taken to
keep child in the best of health. A
sickly, peevish baby is a constant care
and anxiety. but when healthy and well
trained it is easy for the little one to be
happy and good

A good time to think most seriously of
the harvest is seed time. The decision
you make then will determine the value
of your crops later. The growing compe-
titlon i'm seed selling is an increasing
temptation TO inscriptions dealers to
make eXtravagant claims for their seeds,
both in price and producing qualities.
The wsest farmers are those who are in
fluenced most by what experience has
proven to be good and true. Thousands
of seed sewers in all sections of the coun-
try sow Ferry's famous seeds year after
year, and have the satisfaction of good
harvests TO justify their continued faith
III the Ferry firm. They pay few cents
more at seed time, but realize many dol
lars in better crops at the harvest. The
natural consequence of this confidence is
an ever increasing business. ID. M. Ferry

any other seed house in the world. The

AGRICULTURAL.
BUILDING OUR ICE HOUSE.

Our experiences in building ice
houses has not been extended, but
such facts as we have CLEANED from
such experience and from others lead
us to recommend the following
Build the ice house above ground.
There is tendency for ice to melt
more when placed in juxtaposition
with stone than when placed near to
a wooden wall filled with porous ma
terial. which would, of necessity,
pocket much air. 1t is a well known
fact that the hollow space i'll which
air is confined protects a building
from radical change of temperature
when the temperature is changeable
outside, or, in other words, confined
air is poor conductor of heat or cold
Place rather broad stills, IL inches
wide and about four inches thick on
the walls, and erect studding by IL
inches on them The outside had
better be boarded vertically in which
case pieces of scantling, two by four
will have to be cut Al between the
studding to save the outside. Board
on the outside of these pinch stud
ding with rough unmatched boards
Fill the space of one foot with saw
dust or chaff; it is immaterial which
is used. Then fasten to the inside
boarding studding two by four inches
and board again with rough boards.
This will leave a second space of four
inches. This should be filled with
dryish sawdust. When the ice is
packed it should be kept little away
from the inside boarding and the
space left should be filled with saw
dust This space need not be over
two or three inches wide. From time
to time during the summer pack the
sawdust, that no opening may occur
between the layer of ice and boards.
Ventilate the house most thoroughly
either at the peak of the roof or at
both ends of the gables. In fact you
can hardly ventilate such a building
too much at the top. Keep one foot
y
times. By means of these double
walls much air has been locked up,
and from the fact that the boarding
has not been matched the straw and
even the sawdust filling is likely to
remain dry, and this also helps in
preserving the ice. OF course the in
side boarding will, after time, espe-
cially near the bottom, rot out. Ac-
cording to this method of construc-
tion it can be easily and cheaply re-
paired, and best of all, the stills and
outside of the building will remain
intact-that is-they will probably be
as good twenty or thirty years from
now as when erected We have such
an ice house built twenty-five years
ago which was attached to the barn.
1t apparently is as sound today as
when it was built, except that the in
side boarding had to be repaired once
or twice Country Gentleman.
