A MOVABLE CRIB.

crib has a shed roof, is feet high in
front and 5 feet at rear, feet wide
and 10 feet long, placed on runners u
feet long, 5 inches thick and 8 inches
wide. The crosspieces resting on the
sled are 3 by 6 inches and feet long.
The side end, floor and end door are
left open in the cut to show construc-
ton. The upper door CD falls down.
The crib is filled through it. If this
crib is wanted for a self feeder, put in
an inclined floor.
The accompanying cut shows a very
convenient trough for watering or
feeding cattle in the barn. 1t can be
made any size desired, but the most
serviceable size is about four by one
and a half feet The sides should be
built slanting, as shown. for then it is
easy for stock to eat out of it, and it
can also be more readily cleaned. 1t is
also convenient to water cattle with in
winter. Provided the managers are COM
posed of nothing more complicated
than the bare floor, the trough, filed
with water, can be rolled in front of

When n Tree Is GirdIed by Mice.

when a Tree is O1r0AeO by MICE
If a tree is girdled by mice, it usual
ly dies If, however, as soon as the
injury is noticed, the wound is cleaned
and covered with grating wax and
wrapped with cloth so that the air is
excluded and the wood prevented from
drying out. the sap which rises
through the soft wood will continue to
do so, and. returning through the in
ner bark, growth will be made all
around the upper part of the wound,
and if the latter is not too large there
is a chance of it's healing over. If,
however, the wood becomes dry before
the bandage is put on. it will almost
certainly die. When the wax and band
age are applied, the tree should be
headed back considerably to lessen the
amount of Transportation of moisture,
as there will not be as much sap rise
as if the tree were uninjured. Girdled
trees are sometimes saved by connect
ing the upper and lower edges of the
girdle with scionS, which are inserted
all around the trunk. Mice may be de-
stroyed in the orchard by using mix
ture of one part by weight of arsenic
with three parts of cornmeal. To use
this safely nail two pieces of board
each six feet long and six inches wide
together so as to make trough. In

the poison on Il single and put it near
the middle of the run. renewing the
poison as often as is necessary.-W. T.

Doesn't Like CoNnens.

A dairy farmer in Carlisle Pa, with
200 cows does not like cowpeas fol
food for his herd. He sowed two acres
and the yield was good, but the cows
refused to eat them. He thinks they
might do for southern cows that can
not get a square meal without taking q
mountain walk of mile or more. He
cannot understand how well fed COWS
can be induced to eat them. But there
are farmers who claim that both cows
and horses eat them greedily and seen
to prefer them to other food, says the
American Cultivator. But, as all dC
not, and it seems to be an acquired
taste, and dis they are as difficult to cure
as hay, we see no reason for urging q
trial of them on northern farmers Oh
those who can grow clover, which
seems to suit the appetite of all oul
animals and which produces nearly il
not quite as much food per acre as the
cowpea and as much milk per ton OF
dry or green food as any crop grown
The Massachusetts experiment station
has spent much time and some money
in testing various fodder crops. but we
think it has not yet found any bet
ter than the combination of corn fod
der and clover, which seems to grow
in almost any fertile soil to furnish
food that all animals like and thrive
on, whether green or dry cured, and
that leave the land in as good if not
better condition for future crops as
any crops that have been tried.

VaIue of Guernseys.

In my opinion, the best plan for tho
man who wishes to raise larger butter
cows from grade Jerseys is to get {
business Guernsey bull, says CORE
snondent in Rural New Yorker. He
will get more size than the pure bredS
of either breed. A Guernsey male uset
on high grade Jersey cows seems tt
get better average results i'll producers
than is obtained with pure breds OF
either breed. This is contrary to tho
best accepted theory, know, and does
not apply to all cross breeding, but the
facts of extended observation and ex
nerience with both breeds have chang
ed a strongly preconceived bias against
mixed breeding with grades. A good
grade is today the
best dairy COW for the ordinary farmer
and | believe the further crossing viii
be Just as successful if continued il
one direction, but promiscuous mixing
is hardly desirable. With a good reg
istered herd of either breed permit nc
crossing, but with herd of high grade
Jerseys l am sure the size and also the
dairy qualities can be improved by the
use of Guernsey bull of high dairy
qualities. In your selection beware OF
beefy tendencies.

'There has been more rot written
about colds and their prevention and
cure than would fill volume" said

man. ga cold in the head is a mani
festation of sn infamed and congested
condition Of the mucous membrane,
and these infiammatory diseases run
their courses and have their regular
stages.
ga remedy which would eliminate
this infiammatory condition from the
system in a day or two would be a
great help to the human race, saving
inestimable suffering and countless
deaths. l don't think it will ever be
found, and generations hence our de-
scendants will blow their noses and
wipe their watery eyes just the same
rs today. The use of silk handker-
chiefs will more than repay for their
purchase Linen is harsh and tends
to produce soreness and redness of the
nose. Therefore, since the suffering
coincident to this condition cannot be
avoided and must be endured, the best
way to cure cold is to make this
condition as easily borne as possible
and aid nature in subduing the con-
gestion. Those who can stay indoors
should do so, and those who must go
out should put on additional clothing.

warmth is what is wanted. Quinine
in two grain doses every two OF three
hours, according to the susceptibility
of the patient, is better than heavy
doses. Elixir of iron, quinine and
strychnine in teaspoonful doses an
hour before meals or one-thirtieth
grain granule of strychnine an hour
before meals provides a tonic which
tends to counterfeit the depression at
tending a cold. The nervous and mus
cular systems are stimulated, and the
cold feels better The appetite, al
ways affected, is sharpened, the pa
tent eats, the vital forces are renew
ed and a cure is effected in half the
time usually required if the warmth of
the body is maintained and additional
colds and checks are not taken"

WORTH 100000. 600.

The President of certain big Oil Com
pany is said to be worth $500, 900, 900. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear a Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, better still, divide the money among
the members of the class. I don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes mo
want to laugh, but it does. All the same
I have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain.
1t may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches of rheumatism it may
be colds in muscles or bones; it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as at a dog bite; or it may be a
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting. Don't bother with
salyes, liniments, lotions, etc., or with any
OF the stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on Benson's. It relieves at once
and cures quickly. It stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and good
feeling of it. But watch out against i'm
itations and substitutes. All druggists, or

Gasoline is excellent for cleaning col
ored ribbons that have become soiled,
but it makes white ones yellowish in
color and does not affect creases as wa
ter will.
For white ribbons or those badly
creased or mussed prepare a suds of
soft water and any pure soap. Wash
the ribbons in this just as you would
wash a fine handkerchief; rinse and
let it partially dry. Take it down
while still damp in all parts and roll
it smoothly over a wide card or piece
of pasteboard, rolling piece of clean
white muslin with it.
Wrap the muslin around last, so that
the ribbon shall be covered, and place
the whole under a heavy weight. A
letter press is an excellent place in
which to press it. Leave it until it
shall have had time to dry. The mus
lin will absorb the moisture. The rib
bon will come out looking fresh and
clean and will have lost none of its
life" as is the case with ribbons
which are pressed with an iron.

FOR DYSPEPSIA.
How 1t Can Be Cured by Simple Ex-
Ercfsaa.


Thousands of persons suffer daily
from dyspepsia and indigestion and
heartburn. The sinful practice of
mothers in allowing their very young
children an indulgence in improper
food. letting them eat any and every
thing, is one reason for trouble, both
stomach and nervous, later in life.
Too full indulgence at table OF very
highly seasoned foods, strong liquors.
coffee and tea to excess and great
quantities of iced drinks is another
cause.
Investigation of late gives another
cause for dyspepsia-the presence Of
butyric acidity OF the food, says Pro
fessor Ward Beam in the Philadelphia
Enquirer. The nervous centers are af-
fected and lower vitality is also among
the many symptoms.
The three exercises described here
with will act direct upon the organs of
the stomach, kidneys and intestines
and will stimulate and yitaliZe their
action. Remember results cannot be
obtained at once; it will take from two
to three weeks before permanent help
is obtained
Exercise No. 1.-Sit firmly upon
chair, feet well apart in front, SO that
the body is braced, place the hands up
on the hips, keep the trunk of the body
straight up. Now bend to the side as
far as possible. first on the right, then
to the left; repeat from twenty-five to
hundred times. as your power in
creases.
Exercise No. 2.-Seated as in No. 1.
clasp the bands firmly in front, keep
arms and shoulders high; now with
considerable force swing the arms to
the right side and as far around as you
can, from right to left, twisting the
body as it has never been twisted be-
fore. This will make the muscles very
sore at first, but keep it up, twenty
five to hundred times
Exercise No. 3.-Sit upon q stool or
chair, with back of chair at the side,
place the toes under the edge of bureau
and bed, keep hands upon hips. Now
lean as far back as the strength of the
| muscles of the abdomen will permit;
then return to erect position sitting;
repeat twenty-five to fifty times.
If you will earnestly try the above
exercises you viii be well repaid for
your trouble. as the results are of
great benefit in the strengthening of
the trunk. This article is not written
for dyspeptics only, but for all who
wish to take care of the temple of the

AN OBSERVATORY HIVE.
The Quickest and Best Way to Learn
the Bee Business

The Quickest and Best Way to Learn
the Bee Business.
+. G. Herman, who is an authority
on apiarian matters, considers that
there is no way in which so much
practical knowledge can be obtained
about bees as by observing them work
ing in a normal way through the glass
sides of an observatory hive. You will
see the field bees coming in with their
loads of nectar and pollen and deposit
ing them in the cells, the nurse bees
feeding the larvae and the comb build
ers making comb. You may also OBJ
serve the queen in her arduous duty of
laying two and even three eggs per
minute. Mr.. Herman therefore tells in
The Farm Journal how to make such .
hive:
If you are using in your yard nova
BILE frame hive, the matter is simple
enough. Make the two end pieces, the
bottom and cover the same length and
height as the hives in your yard, but
only wide enough for three frames Of
comb. Five inches inside measurement
is about right The sides should be
made out of good, clear window glass.
This constitutes the body of the hive
See Fig. l.
The lower cut in Fig. 2 is tube
which is connected to the body at b,
which will be explained little further
on. G in the first figure is piece of tin
that holds the tube in place. The bees
enter the tube at A and crawl through
the tube into the hive. The tube is
made two and half inches wide and
half an inch high, inside measurement,
and about twenty inches long, or Ion
ger if necessary. The upper cut in Fig.
is the hive cover, which has hole in
the center two and half inches in di-
ameter covered on the underside with
wire netting. This hole is for two pur-
poses If the bees need feeding, pint
fruit jar can be filled with sirup, then
covered with one thickness of cheese
cloth and inverted right on the wire,
and the bees will do the rest. The other
purpose is to ventilate the hive in very
warm weather. This hole should at
other times be covered with a small
block.
OF course it would be useless to put a
swarm of bees into glass hive, for a

How to Make Ginger Wine.

This is an American home brewed
beverage which finds favor in country
homes. All the ingredients are put to-
gether cold, and there is no cooking to
be done. To every gallon of cold water
add three and one-fourth pounds of
loaf sugar, one and one-half ounces Of
bruised ginger, two lemons. two Sc.
vile oranges and one sweet orange.
Pare the oranges and lemons very
thin, squeeze all the fruit, put the
juice and peel in the barrel; also one
ounce of split raisins to every gallon.
Do not quite fill the cask at first and
stir well till the sugar is dissolved
two or three days., then add little
yeast. Do not stir again, but in about
week fill the cask and cork it up.
This will be ready to bottle in three OF
four months,

siheria,s Dairy Industry.

Siberia has long been sending butter
TO England, but the opening of the
Transsiberian railway has made it q
far more formidable competitor than
# formerly was. Last year the i'm
norris of Siberian butter were valued at
Ell 400, 900, and this year it is estimated
that they will reach the value of e.
100000. The supply of butter which
Siberia can furnish is said to be prac-
tically unlimited, and it is possible that
fhe opening Of Siberia may affect the
dairy industry of these countries as
disastrously as the opening up of Amer
lea affected the wheat growing indus
try. 1t is also expected that Siberia

The Working Cow.

In some parts of Europe they make a
practice of working cows in the yoke
as we do or used to do oxen, excepting
that possibly as they want milk they
are careful to feed well and not over
work. This led to a series of expert
ments at Stockholm. Sweden, in test
ing the milk of cows so treated, and
they found that the milk was reduced
in quantity by the exercise, but its
quality was so much richer in butter
fat that the working cows actually pro-
duced more butter than COWS equally
good that had no other exercise than
they found in gathering their food in
the pastures. This opens up new
possibility, remarks American Cultiva-
tor.

How to Lie when sseenlr,...

The correct posture for sleep is to lie
on the right side. with the limbs
stretched out to their full length and
the arms either straight down by the
body or in any comfortable position.
provided they are not raised above the
head. The mouth should lie closed.
and all the muscles of the body should
be relaxed. The lungs work with
greater deliberation during the hours
of sleep, and if the arms are raised
above the head at this time and for
any period the action of the heart
drives the blood away from the arms
and sends it to the head, frequently
making one very restless when it does
not prevent sleep entirely.
