A Judicious Inquiry.

A we'll known traveling man who visits the drug trade says he has often heard druggists Enquire of GUS toners who asked for cough medi- cine. whether it was wanted for child or for an adult, and if for child they almost invariably reccom- mend Chamberiain's Cough Remedy. The reason for this is that they know there is no danger from it and that it always cures. TheFe is not the least danger in giving it, and for coughs, colds and croup it is unsur- passed.

GRUBB1NG OUT sTUMPs.

Grubbing out stumps or trees is
hard job, if all the roots are removed.
1t does not pay to dig out all the roots
except in road building or digging Gel
lars. The best way to remove small
trees from the soil is to cut them down
six or eight inches from the ground.
Dig the soil away from the stump,
from four to, six inches deep, cut a
length of stove wood from the stump
and cover the roots with soil. 1t is
much easier to cut the tree twice than
cut it through the tough roots the first
time, as it is hard job to work out a
chip long enough to fell the tree ex-
cept hewing out a little at time by
taking tiers of chips. When cutting
the stump the blocks may be split off
in thin pieces working around the
stump to get the narrowest side each
time. The roots remaining in the soil
will decay in a few years, causing the
soil to settle a little, which may be
| filled and reSeeded.-J. II. Andre, in

WATER FOR SHEEP.

Sheep need water most in dry sum-
mer, but when the grass is fresh and
growing well less is required. You
might as well expect your dairy cows
to produce milk, some seventy or eighty
per cent. of water, as to expect your
breeding ewes to raise lambs that are
drinking milk on grass alone In win
ter when they are eating dry feed more
water is taken than when they are sup
piled with roots or silage. Ordinarily
sheep should have from one to six
quarts of water daily, according to
weather and feed There is no place
in which sheep will take water with
more Zest than in a shed. In such a
place water does not freeze nearly so
rapidly as outside. "A shallow trough
is best, and in very cold weather, if
the water is not wanted after the sheep
drink, it may be drawn off to prevent
the accumulation of ice. 1t is mis-
take to try to water them in the same
trough in which cattle drink.

LEVEL FOR IRRIGATION DITCH.

1t is very simple and accurate and
first class work can be done with it.

four inch board, sixteen feet long, with
straight edge. On one end nail leg
one by four by twenty-four inches long

THE LEVEL.

nail a similar piece three-eighths OF
an inch longer than the other. This
makes a good grade. In the middle OF
the long piece nail on either side short
pieces so as 20 hold common carpen-
ter's level. Place the short leg on the
starting point of the ditch and move
the other end until the bubble is level.
In this way you will have a ditch with
three-eighths inch grade to the rod.
Continue this throughout the entire
length of the ditch.

COST OF KEEPING HENS.

The cost of keeping hens depends
not only on intelligent care in feeding,
but on whether the feed is bought OF
raised, says an exchange. The ration
for laying hens should be such that
the nutritive ratio to the egg produc-
ing properties should be about one in
four. This can best be produced with
cut clover. middlings, bran, corn meal,
for morning mash, with grain in
variety, corn, rye, buckwheat, wheat,
millet. etc. A fair amount of green
food, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, etc.,
should be mixed in in the mash oc-
casionally or fed raw every few days.
On such rations hen may be kept at
cost of about seventy-cents a year,
less if the food is raised.
Buckwheat is one Of the best OF
grain foods for fowls and adds great
ly to egg production. Kaffir corn and
millet are also good if they can be
raised OF bought at a low price. On the
rations specified two meals q. day il
sufficient, the mash in the morning
and whole at. night, fed among tht
| litter on the floor. It is sometimes {
good plan to cut the night ration lii
tie short. feeding the portion reserved
about the middle Of the Afternoon
among the litter on the floor Of th
scratching house to keep the hen
busy. This question OF food and thei
! cost needs to be studied closely, es
! pecially in sections where the egg
| fall as low as ten cents dozen du1
| ing the summer.-Farmers' HON
