top of the opposite gable end for venti-
lation.
They can be built on runners so
they can be moved anywhere by a
horse. We put no runners under ours,
but tipped them onto a stone boat
when we wished to move them. We
found six feet square large enough for
our purpose, but you can make them
as large as you wish. Ours will ac-
commodate four or five hogs weigh
ing 200 pounds each. In feeding time
we moved them out in the feeding lot,
and at narrowing time back to the ac-
customed place.
The principal improvement in these
pens is the door. One first doors were
hung at the top and when a hog went
out, it would drop back with a bang
that might often injure or kill pig,
besides wearing the hair off from the
hogs backs. Notice, this door is hung
on gudgeons or bowels placed just a
little bove the center, so the door will
drop back gently and will always be
shut. If, for any reason, you want to
keep it open, it can be done by rope,
or any other means that may suggest
itself to your mind.
My man and I made our eight pens
in two days, but we are both carpen-
1ers and can do much more work of
this kind than one who is not a work

Calf Raising Made Easy.

The rapid introduction of the
hand separator is the feature of the
times in the dairy industry. 1t is
largely solving the question of get
ting good skim milk for calf raising,
as we'll as having other important
advantages. Warm, sweet skim-milk,
separated within few minutes after
being drawn from the COW is in the
best possible condition for the calf,
and by observing the points men
toned in this bulletin, and as prac-
ticed by the. most successful dairy
men, little trouble will be had in
raising as good calves as are raised
in any way. The majority of those
producing cream or butter for sale
insist on some means of raising the
calf satisfactorily, and the hand sep
arator seems to fill the want better
than any other system.-Midland

TIMELY STOCK NOTES.

A feed lot is too small that compels
animals to eat in filth.
In selling mixed lots of stock the
best always suffers by being sold with
the inferior.
Stock farms don't wear out, but be-
come more and more fertile, and more
and more profitable.
Feed generally is high priced, and,
as far as possible, everything that can
be used to advantage should be stored
under shelter.
In northwestern Colorado thousands
of cattle are reported to be starving.
The cattle are showed in on the high
range in Routt and Rio Grande coun-
ties without pasture or water, and it
is impossible to get feed to them.
Salt is a good thing for stock, and
it is almost as necessary as food. 1t
aids digestion, and by SO doing it pre-
vents disease. 1t destroys germs of
fermentation, and renders them harm
less. Large doses act as poison;
smaller doses laxative; minute doses
a tonic. Experiments have shown it
to be nefcial.-Midland Farmer.

THE NEBRASKA COW.
She Has Helped Many Hitherto struE-.
Cling Farmers to Make Modest
= Fortunes.

The Nebraska cow has joined the
winter wheat crop as q mortgage
litter.
According to the report of the
secretary of the State Dairymen's
association, just published, the pro-
duction of butter in Nebraska last
year was one-third greater than in
the previous year. Two things have
caused this great increase, the hand
separator and the culture of alfalfa.
Both of these are new in the west.
The hand separator is a mechani-
cal device that has permanently dis
placed the old and the new fashioned
churn alike and rendered butter
making a function purely of the
creamery, instead of the farmers
wife. 1t was introduced into Ne
braska two years ago, and has COM
pletely revolutionized the dairy in
dustry, not only doubling it in
volume, but increasing it's money
making power.
Farmers no longer haul their milk
to the skimming stations of the big
"reameries, but do the separating at
home and carry only the cream in
their cans. This leaves the skim to
be utilized at home. It is a poor
cow that doesn't pay in cream alone
each year for her original cost.
Modest fortunes are being made in
the older settled parts of the state
by the maintenance of large herds
Of dairy COWS, whose milk is sold at
the skimming stations. "A herd of 50
COWS, with the natural increase in
calves and the sale of milk and
cream, makes it possible for farmer
to obtain a yearly income from this
source alone as large as that OF
most country professional men.

Musty Fodder Kills Calves.

A dispatch comes from Creston,
Ia., that Hazard Dunn, living short
ways west Of there, has recently lost
13 head of yearling calves from too
much feeding on dry and musty fod-
der All the calves but one that were
taken sick died and reports come
from other parts of that country
that there have been many more cat
tie dying there from the same
cause. The wet weather has been
such that much of the fodder this
season is unfit for feeding except in
small quantities, and then the closest
watch must be kept on the cattle
fed. It now appears that the enor-
nous loss of cattle reported from
the east end of that county some
weeks ago is attributed to this same
cause

Danger in HiEh-Heel Shoes.

High-heel shoes on the forward feet
of a horse often cause lameness. Be
fore the horse was shod he travelled on
the wall sole. and frog of the foot
the frog taking off the jar to some ex
tent and keeping the heels from con
tracing. Thick heel shoes on high
heel calks often cause lameness by
changing the foot from it's natural
obliquity to direction approaching
perpendicular, changing the position
of the bones SO the navicular bone is
made to bear the weight for which
it was not intended, and causing lame
ness. Shoe with a shoe same thick
ness at heel as at the toe; let frog
come down so it strikes the ground; !;
do not cut out bottom of the foot or
frog. Level where shoe rests; use
level shoe. With drivers use four
nails on the outside of foot and three
nails on inside, giving heels chance
to spread. Horses shod this way in
the forward feet are not liable to get
lame by being shod, and in most casel
where the horse is lame forward he is
helped. Inmost cases where the lame
ness is behind high heel is best

quently among the interior villages
and spend much of their time making
new plows and repairing old ones.
In this way farmers who have any
old iron get it shaped into plow
points for a small sum.
Referring to this primitive plow,
Mr.. Henry B. Miller, United States
consul at Niuchwang, says that he
considers China an excellent field for
American agricultural implements.
Any American plow, however, which
is introduced, he says, must be
cheap, as cheap as it is possible to
make it and so cheap that it would
not be used in the United States"
