HINTS FOR THE HOUSEkEEPERS.

A housewife who docs her own
work" has equipped herself with a
big serving tray, such as walters in
hotels use. When she is getting a
meal ready she sets this upon the
kitchen table. and as fast as the dishes
for the table are ready, she places
them upon thread. butter, pickles.
celery, etc..Then she carries every
thing in at one trip, thus making "her
head save her heels" When the meal
is over she carries the dead" as they
call it in restaurants. in the same way.

ENTRANCE TO THE BEEHIVE
It Should Be Large Enough to Allow
Ventilation and Plenty Of
elbow" Space.

Common opinion holds that the low
er part of the hive is the proper place
for the entrance as it protects the
brood nest and at the same time gives
the bees a better chance to clean their
hive of Gaping refuse and dead bees
and to keep their house in general Or
de,. Some argue that the entrance
shculd be near the top of the hive, thus
giving bees a short cut to the combs,
bus on the other hand you are giving
the cold air a chance to get to brood
clutter, and this will bring about bad
results. The size of the entrance
sho1ld be ample and not too small.
During the rush of the honey season
the writer uses a space 3X$ inches, and
during very warm weather raises hives
one-auarter inch in front by means Of
wedges. This allows ventilation and
plenty of space for all requirements
during warm spring days. When rob-
bers are apt to cause trouble close up
the entrance, allowing only about
enough space for two bees to enter at
cncc. OF course your strong swarmG
will take care of themselves, but BY
doing this with your light ones you
will gave much trouble.-G. H. Towns

vide by six feet long. The hopper was
placed up at the head of the granary
stairway with the screens underneath
in such a manner that when the
cracked corn is allowed to run slowly
from the hopper it grades nicely into
three sizes of cracked corn, besides the
fine meal, which would go to waste if
scattered on the ground for the poultry.
and anyone would be surprised at the
amount of this meal saved wen from
the best sifted cracked corn. The size
of screens may be arranged to suit each
user. | use No. 4 for top or coarsest
as | want it as coarse as possible for
pigeons; No. 6 for second, and No. 70
for nest. These sizes if set at an angle
that the corn will run down nicely
without requiring any shaking to pre-
veht lodging, will give nice grades of
cracked corn. The more upright the
grader is placed the more fine will be
LEFT in the coarser grades, and the less
thoroughly will it be sifted. This has
saved me many times its cost in the
meal saved alone, aside from the con-
venience of having the size cracked
wanted for the different birds. At times
when feeding largely on cracked corn

WORKING TEAMS FEED BILL.
It Varies in Different Parts of the
Country, But $50 Per Animal
Is an Annual Average.

A number of experiment stations have
cost of a work horses food. At the New
Hampshire station an experiment was
conducted for a period of two years, dur
ing which time the food and drink of five
work horses were accurately weighed. A
horse weighing in the vicinity Of 1,20C
pounds and working every day lost but
little flesh when fed the following ration
per day: Hay, ten pounds; bran, two
pounds; corn, six pounds, and gluten
feed, six pounds. Reckoning corn at
SIG a ton, bran at ST, gluten feed at SIS,
and hay at SIG per ton this ration cost
1913 cents per day. A ration consisting
of ten pounds of hay, two pounds of
bran, six pounds of corn and eight
pounds of oats was sufficient to main
tain an animal weighing 1900 pounds,
and cost 22.5 cents per day. When a RAJ
ton composed of ten pounds of hay, one
pound of cottonseed meal, two pounds
of bran and eight pounds of corn was
fed the cost was ia cents per day.
Horses at moderate work kept in good
condition on this ration. 1t will be seen
that the cost varied from II to % cents
per day per animal. Horses of greater
weight, of course, would require a
heavier ration. AS a rule a work horse
weighing 1900 POUNDS. doing ordinary
farm labor, but kept fairly closely at
business, will consume about Is pounds
of grain per day, and from ten to Is
pounds of hay. If grain can be pur-
and as this is usually the case in the
corn belt, the cost of grain would be Il
cents per day, while the hay, reckoned
at eight dollars per ton, counting Il
pounds per day, would amount practical
ly to five cents, thus making a total of
II cents a day. At this rate the food Of
n animal for a year would amount to
$62.05. This figure we consider to be a
little too high, because it is scarcely pos
sible to work an animal the entire year
through, and during slack seasons the
grain ration can be cut down consider
ably. While the New Hampshire sta
ton, above referred to, found that it cost
on an average of $.t.32 per animal, yet
it will be seen by the cost of foods that
some forms are unusually high in price,
as, for example, hay at SIG per ton. 1t
may be said in a general way that if
horses are we'll fed and kept fairly busy
during the entire year that their feed
bill will run in the neighborhood of $50.

LITTLE NOTES ABOUT PIGS

The pig is a clean, healthy animal
when it has a chance.
Usually a hog with harsh bristles has
a coarse and thick skin.
The fattening hogs should have all
the grain they will eat up clean.
While hogs should have plenty of
water, it should be pure and fresh.
To secure choice pigs, the selection
of the male is of the first Importance.
The pig pen is always a good place
to dispose of imperfect and small fruit
and potatoes.
If the pigs are closely confined, they
must have a variety of food if they are
to be kept thrifty.
Pigs will stand considerably more
nutritious or rich food II 1t is Given
often and in small quantities.
Young pigs should be taught to eat
as young as possible and receive all
the skim milk they will drink.
A cross sow is a dangerous animal to
have around, and should be made fat
and shipped at the earliest opportuni-
ty.
In selecting a young animal for
breeding purposes, one with a gentle
and tractable disposition should be
chosen.-Midland Farmer.

from a good strong 14-inch grub pillow.
Two men, an AK, brush scythe and five
horses comprise the best outfit that al
be obtained for any field. In order to
equalize the combined strength of the
five horses an evener is made on the
plan shown in the illustration. A piece
of timber three by five and Is inches
long is selected. An inch hole is bored
three-ffths of the distance from the END
for the clevis which attaches the timber
to the pillow ring. A three-horse attach

chain is attached to the long end OF the
piece of timber, running between the
two off side horses through their neck
yoke ring and attached to a double
tree clevis for the lead team"

Importance of Potatoes.

An acre planted to potatoes will
yield more than ten times as much food
material as when planted to wheat;
IA times more than rye or II times
more than peas. The value of this
crop appears to be very largely disre-
garded by farmers in this country. In
Germany the yield per acre is two or
three times as great and the total prod
uct six times as great. Besides con
suming much more per capita than we
do, the Germans use them for such
manufactured products as starch, glu-
cose and alcohol. The real resources
of the potato should be more fully ex-
plotted in this country.
