Farm Notes.

Weeds and other refuse left i'm the fence
corners last fall should be carefully cleaned
away before spring. They can be easily
raked out as they are now dry, and the
best way to dispose OF such material is to
burn ii.
There is an increasing interest being
taken in the plan for dipping hogs for lice
says the Winchester Herald. This is some
thing that was scarcely known a decade
ago. Nearly all up-to-date swine breeders
now engage in the business, while the great
army of breeders know nothing about il,
either by experience or observation.
A farmer was telling how he succeeded
In killing a lot OF rats. says the Steuben
Republican. 1t is an old scheme. He took
a barrel and put about six inches OF water
in it, In the center he put q stone large
enough that rat could stand or On ton
he put heavy paper and cut IL in quarters
Then smear this over with cheese and
put a board leading up TO it. He catches
just scads OF rats.
The farmer reduces the value of his own
labor by keeping inferior stock, or failing
to secure larger yields of crops as the
higher the price and the greater tie pro-
duction che better the remuneration for the
labor bestowed. There are periods when
the farmer cannot perform work I'm the
fields for which reason he should aim TO

which can be performed inside the barn.

Raising Squads.
the AgriculturiSt.

The Agriculturist.
That there Is money in squad raising is
shown by the fact that at one time Mr.
Rice disposed of his flock and buildings:
five years ago he started again with a sim
gle pair of birds, buying a few from time
to time until small but well-selected flock
was obtained This flock has paid ali ex-
penses of every kind, the bills for erecting
two new houses at cost of $3.50 each. and
the wages of a man two days in each week
to dress squads and clean out the houses
To-day he has a flock of coo pairs of good
birds in healthy condition and yielding a
fair weekly income.
The most important thing in starting
light is the site, which must be in a spot
we'll drained. facing east or south, sheltered
from prevailing winds and not exposed to
extremes of heat, cold or wind. A shallow
stream of pure running water for drinking
and bathing is desirable. The house is as
important as the site.
1t should be built in sections of no more
than 250 pairs, and not more than 80 pairs
in each section, and designed so as TO be
we'll ventilated, easily kept clean secure
from attacks of mice, rats and other ami
mails and not subject TO drafts of air Mr.
Rice's houses are 40 feet long, Il feet wide
8 feet to peak of roof. Nest boxes are made
II inches wide, inches high and II inches
long. "A covered yard or fly 81 feet long and
feet high is attached TO the house
The homer Is recommended as the best
variety of pigeons to keep for squad rails
ing. THESE DlrdS are large and healthy:
are good workers; are the best of feeders
and of quiet disposition when prop
erly mated. and their eggs are generally
fertile. The runs, which is the giant
among pigeons. is highly spoken of by some
breeders because the squads are so large
but they are not prolific and IL takes an
extra good pair 10 yield four pairs of
squads per year. Dragons probably rank
next TO homers, and are particularly use
full in crossing with homers. Straight
dragons are about week longer In matlr-
ing. The duchesse variety is preferred by
some breeders, but they not as good
feeders as homers and have feathered legs
which is Objectionable in squads.
A variety of feed is needed, for wheat
and cracked corn, If long continued, will
fail to produce the best squads. In addition
TO these Canada peas, millet. Kaffir corn
and hemp are needed. Boxes should be pro-
vided of fine salt, cracked oyster shells and
ground charcoal, to which the pigeons can
have free access. Birds should be fed twice
a day, morning and afternoon. at regular
hours. and IL is important that one person
always do the feeding alone. Pure water
should also be provided at all times
AS the old pigeons feed the squads on a
] special feed called pigeon milk, which they
secrete, IL Is unnecessary TO feed the young
| before they leave the nest. When feed is at
prevailing prices. IL costs from 30 cents to
| 90 cents per year to feed each full-grown

Cheap stock Feeding.

Baltimore American.
AS soon as the weather turns cold the
live stock should be stabbed or have deep,
well-bedded sheds to run under. Pine
boards are cheaper than hay and grain.
Stables and sheds may be made comfort
able by banking up the frame on the out
side with two feet of straw or long fod-
der. In very cold weather keep the inside
barn doors and the hay and straw shute
doors closed at night and early in the
morning. After milking clean out the sta
bles. open the windows and outside doors
SO that the confined air in the stables may
pass out and the pure air be admitted. The
health of the stock requires pure. fresh
air; economy of feeding is secondary con-
sideration requiring warm stables Both
may and should be had.
Rough and weedy hay should either be
mixed with an equal quantity or good hay
and run through the cutter or dampened
with little warm salt water and thrown
into a pile few hours before feeding 10
heat up. The cattle and sheep will then eat
il without waste. Feed second-quality hay
the first thing In the morning when the
cattle are hungry. After the hay has been
eaten give the mixed feed, then water, ana
after the stables are cleaned give each AMI
NAL a large forkful of clean straw. Cattle
and milk cows that are grain fed Will eat
large quantities of straw as change. Tur-
nlpS ana DeetS should De Sllceu OF puIpSu.
Feed roots after the mixed feed has been
eaten. One peck of roots mixed with two
quarts of bran may be fed TO each cow
morning and night. Corn fodder should be
cut fine for cattle: III fed to horses cut IL
long. For horses feed it dry; for COWS IN
milk mix with grain and boiling water,
cover with canvas and let IT neat up ,3 lew
hours before feeding-the stalks viii be-
come soft and most of IL will be eaten. The
improved cutters cut and split the stalks
up quite fine, which is great Improvement
over the old style of cutters. The new
cutters have a series of small knives that
cut and grind the fodder and hay as IL
passes through the machine, making II hne
and as soft as wheat ehaff.
There is a waste of fodder when IL Is fed
long, yet this is the way most of IL Is fed.
The value of fodder may be increased by
feeding a little at time and placing the
fodder in racks. The racks should be Sc
curely nailed against the fence.
The feeding and care of the cattle should
have the owners daily supervision. If the
feeding is given to the hired men. the
owner should see that II is done properly.
BY carelessness feed will be wasted the
cows will fall off in milk and the cattle
in condition, and this loss may easily reach
81 and a day. Every animal should
be full fed; more than this is waste.

1.-The cattle-raising business could be-
come the most profitable industry, in Ala
bama and adjoining States" said, a stock
man last night, IF the people owning the
lands and the stock would only feed them
properly. In fact the lands would do this
if they were only properly cultivated. The
Southern farmers spend thousands of dol
lars each year in the work of destroying
grass. and, thousands. yea millions. more
in buying 1T from the West for feeding
stock. This is simply suicidal. You South
erners produce cattle, ship them to the
western plans for feeding and for slaughter
by the Armours ct al, but to be returned
to the South for consumption as beef at a
high price Why not feed, shelter and
otherwise care for them here and thus save
money? 1t will only require care. The re-
cent striking success of King Edward in
the London cattle show makes 1t plain that
tant part in the economic world.
1.-The entries from Windsor included three
Herefords, two Shorthorns and four De-
vonS. His maj sty was awarded four first
prizes for Hereford steer, for Shorthorns
and a heifer and for Devon steer and a
two reserve prizes for cows In addition
his majesty wins three breed champion
ships and two challenge cups with the
Hereford steer, which was the best beast
in the show. The Hereford was bred by
Queen Victoria. 1t lacks half month of
being three years old and weighs l,6l2
pounds. All of these can be raised to
magnificent proportions in Alabama, and
the wonder is that more attention is not
paid here to the industry"

pigeon. The houses should be whitewashed
at least once year and cleaned once a
week. The flies should also be cleaned four
to six times year.
SQUADS are killed by bleeding in the
mouth, and are hung up by the feet TO
allow bleeding out. They are picked dry,
then put into tub of cold water. TO take
out the animal heat and make the birds
more firm and plump. An expert picker
can kill and rough pick twenty squads an
hour or completely dress twelve to fifteen.
The feet and mouth must be cleaned of all
filth and blood After drying they are
packed in a basket or box with ice and sent
to market. In one year Mr.. Rice produced
from 425 pairs of birds 400 squads for
market.

1t is admitted that water is essential to
the well-being of humans and if this is so
why should any one presume to think that
animals can get along with little or no
water? Yet this is the plan on which many
farmers work. The cows and horses are.
perhaps, properly watered, but the other
farm animals are given little water. In a
series of experiments carried on by the
writer number of years ago ii was found
that sheep, swine and poultry gave US near
ly 20 per cent. better returns when regular
ly and carefully watered than when the
water was given but occasionally
That is the egg supply larger from
the hens, and the sheep and hogs kept to
the desired weight. More than this, we
found there was less trouble with diseases,
particularly those that had the stomach for
their base of attack. 1t is now a regular
practice to give all the animals on the farm
regular supplies OF clean water. In water
ing the sheep and swine troughs are pro-
vided and kept for the purpose. After the
animals have drunk, the troughs are re-
moved so that there is no chance of them
being defiled. 1t will pay every time to
water all farm animals regularly and with
clean water.
