KeenChicks Growing.

Whether the chickens are being
raised for the market or for winter
layers, it is essential that they make
the best possible growth from birth to
going into winter quarters or to the
market The range, to a large extent.
solves the question Of food and Of
healthy growth, but it is necessary
that the chicks have some food other
than that picked up on the range, or
they will wear themselves out trying
to get enough to eat.
Then, if they roost under cover at
night, and they should by all means
do this, there is the question Of lice
which must be given proper considera-
ton, for few lice will cause the chick
to lose more weight in month than
can be made good by two months of
feeding. Everything possible must be
done to keep the chicks growing dur
ing the summer; keep them making a
strong. steady gain, and then they viii
be profitable. and not otherwise.

will be sufficient. At about the mid
die of the racks a bent hasp is fastened
so that when the racks are in place
they may be held so by turning the
hasp over to the other side over a
staple and holding it in place with a
bit of wood. In this arrangement
either rack may be let down and the
trough thus filed from either side.

One-Man Cross-Cut Saw.

When one man operates the cross
cut saw the blade is apt to wabh]e
more or less, making it difficult for
one man to get good work from the
tool. An excellent way to strengthen
the blade is to take a hickory pol~
about a foot longer than the saw, shay
ing down the end rather fiat SO that
it will be about one-half inch thick
Saw a slit in this end of the pole
slip it over the saw blade close to the
handle and wire it to the handle after
making two holes, one on either side
of the slit in the pole. The other end
may be treated in the same manner
or a notch may be cut in the handle
of the saw and the shaved end of the
pole go up against this notch and be
wired to the handle.
If the pole is a good one this device
will materially stiffen the saw blade
so that one man can operate the saw
with good results. The illustration
shows the details as follows: Figure

Skim Milk for Pigs.


Relative to an inquiry concerning
skim milk and pigs, will say that when
two weeks old the young pig will be-
gin to take skim milk from a separate
trough. OF course, only little will be
consumed at that time, but it should
be supplied two or three times daily
at irst, and twice daily later. At first
skim milk alone may be given, but
later cornmeal, barley meal or mid
dlings should be added Allow the
young pig to eat practically all 1t will
Of the combination. Often 1t Is best
to have the trough from which the
pigs feed in special Enclosure where
the pigs can reach it, while the dam
is kept away. If this plan is followed
the pigs will gradually wean them
selves when about ten weeks old, or
at least there will be no trouble In
finally separating them from the dam.
Carefully conducted experiments 81
this station have shown that to get
the largest returns from both milk and
| meal, not over three pounds of skim
milk should be given for each pound
of cornmeal or other grain. Where one
has large quantities of milk he may
| feed as much as from six to nine
pounds of milk with each pound of
grain, but in that case the returns are
40 so economical as where the milk
does not run over three pounds for
each pound Of grain.
There is no better single feed for
pigs than skim milk. Often where
| large numbers of pigs are handled
|. there are runts or pigs of condi-
| ton, understood, etc. Always separate
| these from the main lot and fed them
/ separately, giving special care. One
will be surprised to see how the I'M
| likely specimens will improve with a
| little care and extra allowance of milk
and grain.-Prof. w. A. Henry, in
| Ioard's Dairyman.

Better Dairymen Needed.

A writer says: when l see a cow
with a good, sharp back a deep body,
clean head, and prominent bright
ewes, two large milk wells and a dou-
BILE extension milk vein, and those
about the size of hnger, | say at
once: What pity that this COW did
not have an owner as well bred as
she. in order that her bodily functions
might have been developed and her
full powers given play. Her capacity
is from 5000 to 10000 pounds of milk
yearly; her production does not exceed
half this amount.

Feeding Sheep in Troughs.
The design Of sheep trough, Hits
trated herewith, is one which has been
found entirely satisfactory, all things
considered; it is but little trouble to
make it, but its superiority over the
average trough is so great that the la
Dor spent in its construction will be
well spent. AS shown the trough is II
feet long, is inches wide, % inches
high tapered as shown. " 18th the ex-
ception of the Stats which are 1a-inch

Teaching a Horse Bravery.

Expert horsemen believe that q
horse can be taught to do anything
that it is possible for an animal so
formed, and to be utterly fearless.
Thus, Of horses rushing into battle
with fearlessness that is magnificent,
although in the beginning of their lives
they may have been foolishly timid,
shying at everything unusual that hap
pened to be seen in their travels.
In order to teach a horse fearless
ness he must be accustomed to all
sorts Of sights and sounds. He must
come to know that because something
that he sees or hears is unusual it does
not follow that it is harmful. For
it is the unusual things that frighten
him. The horse is an animal Of one
idea at a time, and is not able to dis
eliminate, so say the men who have
made a study of the horse.
While he will travel along quietly
close by the roar Of train he may
tremble at the futter of a piece Of
loose paper flying in the wind. 1t is
not the frightfulness of the object that
seems to alarm him, but the unfamil-
iarity Of it. Horse trainers say that
the mistakes made in breaking" and
training a colt is that it is too often
done in the seclusion of some country
road, instead of amid the sights and
sounds that the animal must neces-
sarily become familiar with later.
AS soon as the horse becomes fam
iliar with anything and has learned
to believe that it will not hurt him,
he will stand quietly or trot along
peacefully, even though all sorts Of
noises and queer sights are about him.
Thus the artillery horse will stand
amid the roar of cannon, being used
to the noise and not knowing that the
sound predicts anguish and death. It
is we'll to accustom a horse to unusual
sounds as soon as possible after he
Is trained for riding or driving. It
renders him safe and docile even
though he be spirited animal.
A certain trainer of horses said that
an ideal school for horses would con-
tain thrashing machines, pile drivers,
steam drills, electric, steam and ele-
waited cars, a band of martial music
and gang of quarrymen blasting
rocks. A horse that was drilled among
such bedlam as this would, indeed,
prove immune to strange noises.

THADDY'S SONG.

Once on day they slipped away
Il had so much to carry)-
Visions of shades within the glades
Where dwell the elf and fairy.
My ways ran down into the town
Where all men strive for money;
And l forgot the briery spot
Where wild bee sucks the honey.
Then on a day in leafy May
Came to my house a daddy;
And as he grew I found he knew
What had escaped his daddy.
He takes me by the solemn, shy,
Sweet silent woodland places;
We hear the beat of elfn feet
We almost see their facesi
Ho! but it's fine so to resign
The dull towns toll and worry;
And through his eyes grow young and
wise
Where no ones in hurry.

EaedinU NaIue of Alfalfa.

It is within a few years since any
special attention has been paid to
alfalfa and farmers have been slow
In testing it. Perhaps the undisputed
statement that ton Of alfalfa prop
erly cured has nearly the same feeding
value as a ton of wheat bran will
convince farmers that the crop is
worth their attention. Unlike clover
1t is not difficult to get catch Of al
falfa and it does not readily winter
kill. One cannot put to better use a
norton of the leisure days than in
finding out all possible about alfalfa
and it's culture.

Poultry Hints.

Young geese are not good breeders.
Goose eggs do not hatch we'll when
shipped quite distance.
AS an producing grain oats has
not an equal among cereals.
Best results are not obtained by per.
hitting poultry to roost in trees.
Pure refined charcoal is one Of the
best disinfectants for the poultry
yards.
Young ducks should be kept away
from swimming water until they are
we'll feathered.
Ducks may be advantageously
raised on many farms where they
have never yet been tried.
A goose yields about 81 year in
feathers, the market price being abous
40 to 30 cents pound
Soft-shelled eggs are seldom found
where hens are supplied with cracked
bone or small bits of oyster shells.
Poultry is raised on S8,s per cent OF
the farms in the United States. II
would be interesting to know what PEI

Chicks raised in late spring an6
midsummer can be made to lay by
February if they are given some meat
in their daily ration.
Cleanliness is the keynote of health
Nothing will breed sickness so quickly

School for Training Farmers.

American farmers are the most intel
iieent tillers of soil in the world. An
example Of this is shown in the i'm
proved agricultural machinery of this
country as compared with that of 9th
err countries. A large part of this ma
chinery is due to the inventions of the
farmers themselves. In selling farm
machinery in foreign countries, the
greatest drawback to the development
Of the trade is the ignorance of the
farmer classes. One American firm S
trade has been so hindered that it has
decided to start school of training
for farmers sons at Orusk, Russia,
where the principles Of mechanics as
applied to farm machinery will be

The Coconino sun., 1904-02-13

So much has been heard of Russia s lumbering interests in Manchuria, Siberia and Sakhalin, and of the efforts of the companies on the Yalu river to enter into competition with the lumber trade of the Pacific coast, that especial interest will attach to a report on the subject made by Henry B. Miller, United States consul at Niu-Chwang. It is evident that con- siderable progress has already been made, and that while the pine being handled at Port Arthur is not equal to the Oregon product, it is good enough for the common markets of China, and will be accepted for most purposes. Most of the supply is now driven or rafted down the Yalu and is brought thence in Chinese junks. The Russian sawmill at the mouth of this river is the third largest in the world. Shipments are also being made from Vladivostok to Port Arthur, Dalny (Ta-Lien-W an) and Niu-Chwang. Mir. Miller is of the opinion that Russia intends to provide for all the require ments of lumber in Manchuria and Siberia, with possibility of entering the Chinese market.

We give ourselves credit for being very clever in this twentieth century, and, in the line of invention, some wonderful things have been done, but, as smart as we are, we are only copy ing some things done more than a thousand years ago. So far as his- tory goes, the Egyptians were the first inventors. They had incubators and matched chickens artifcially thous- ands of years before America was discovered. They knew the embalm- ing business better than we have ever been able to learn it and were able to temper copper, an art which is en- tirely lost to us. They understood agriculture remarkably we'll and raised as good crops as can be pro- duced now. We are finding out some things that have been forgotten for centuries.

In no calendar year in the history of this country have our exports foot ed up to the amount that they did in the year that has just been brought to close. The nearest approach was the calendar year of 1900, when our exports were about $7,OOO,O ,OOO less in value than during the year 1903. The gains made during the past year were in the last three months of the year.
 The exports of STA, 734, 900 for the month of December formed the great est trade record that has ever been made in this country in any single month, while the three months to- gether, showing exports to the value of nearly $500, ,OOO, 900, are also un- parallelled in our past record. Our import trade was also larger in value than that of any previous year, foot ing up in round numbers s995, 900, 900.
