s;laue and Roots.

A silo for storing corn is cheaper
than a barn for storing hay. A silo
holding about two hundred tons may
be constructed for about $50. About
twice the number Of COWS may be
kept ON farm If the silo is used. The
ensilage may be kept over and fed
during the dry and hot months of July
and August, when pastures are short,
and that is the most difficult time to
keep up the flow of milk, and if cows
once drop in the flow of milk it is we'll
nigh impossible to get them to regain
the full flow. When dairymen do not
have silos the next best thing is roots,
such as stock beets, which yield six
hundred to seven hundred bushels per
acre, and may be preserved in base
ment, barns or in a root cellar.-Ameri-

Coop for Fattening Chickens.

Where 1t is desired TO take extra
pains in fattening chickens, it is nee
essary to contine them in close quar-
tiers for Two or three weeks before kill
ing. The coop shown herewith is ideal
fer this purpose. 1t is set on legs 215
feet above the ground for convenience
in caring for the fowls. The coop il
about 2 feet wide, feet long, and
2 feet Q inches high, and viii easily
hold six birds
The bottom should be constructed of
Stats, somewhat closer together than
the sides and ends, so that the drop
pings may fall through The coops
should be placed under roofs to shed
rain and to protect the fowls from the
hot sun. In cold weather it would be
necessary to protect them still more
by placing the coops in buildings. Feed
troughs and water vessels are attached

Thrift. not hunger. should prompt
exercise
Sows With very nervous tempera-
ments should be avoided.
The pigs should have dry. clean
bed, free from dust and filth.
The cheapest pork is that made By
the wise use of clover pasture.
A SOW should never be confined to a
dry lot barren of all grasses and other
forage.
The hog should find place in the
economical management of every
farm.
No difference how plentiful the sup
ply OF slOps. the hogs should have
fresh water daily.
While dust in the bed is Injurious.
more may be said against dampness,
which is fatal TO thrift.
The hog to thrive best must be Civ
en- food that will bald up the system
evenly. The hone. muscle and fat
must maintain Just proportions.
