think, Is about as simple as l have
seen. Upon one side of the stream an
ordinary post is set, on the opposite
side a much longer post is set. on the
top of which is provided a pulley. The
gate can be made to fit the gap in the
stream, having in the tops of the cross

Why So Mnny Fail.

Many people never get to the front
in the poultry business because they
struggle and work from year to year
only to be beaten again at the shows
and by practically some beginner, but
finally after losing five or ten years
time they and that their mistake was
in always buying something cheap in
stead of paying little more and get
ting good foundation stock. The
quicker a man buys good birds to breed
from the sooner he Is started right in
the fancy and the sooner he will get a
share of the business.-T. b. King, III

Room for Improvement.

Farmers pay taxes on everything,
for everything they have is in sight
Every farmer pays taxes. But ore per
son in fifty in New York City pays
taxes. Much Of the city property is
"out of sight" hence escapes taxation.
The levy has to be increased in order
to raise enough money for carrying on
the State and county government, and
the farmer pays more than his proper
ton. There is room for Improvement
in the methods of taxation.-Iowa

To make butter with a natural vel
low color during the winter months is
almost a lost art in this age of frauds
and shams. While farmers and dairy
men denounce oleomargarine as a fraud
and want a law TO prevent it from
being colored yellow, they do not sell
their own butter with its natural color,
but use few drops of butter color to
give it an attractive tint. supply a
few private customers with butter, and
while do not claim that my butter is
as dark yellow in the winter as in
the months when the cows are ON pas
ture, yet it always has color enough
to look well without adding artificial
colOriug to the cream. TO make yellow
aid requires extra care in making the
butter in feeding the cows and select
ing the cows, Some COWS will make
darker tinted butter than others. The
Jersey cows are perhaps the best for
making yellow butter in the winter and
firm butter during the hot summer
months. If butter color was not used
this fact would add to the value of
Jersey cows.
In feeding to make yellow butter l
think there is nothing better than car
rots. With a good supply of these
roots. together with plenty Of clover
hay and good corn and bran, with the
right care in handling the cream. it is
possible TO produce fine butter in cold
weather. l generally have some blue
grass left in the woods pasture in the
fan, and the cattle can get bite when
there is no snow on the ground in the
winter.-Jersey Bulletin.

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes I'M
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
70 digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
