MAKE A FOLDING RoosT.

There are all sorts of roosts con-
structed in poultry houses and most Of
them far from desirable. While the idea
of 4 folding roost is not especially new
the following plan of construction is on
better lines than most of these roosts
are built. Take two strips of 2 by 2
material each six feet long and make
two legs for each strip not over three
feet high. The end which comes next
10 the side of the building may be
nailed to it. A better plan is to place
the legs at one end only of the strips
Ringing the other ends, with strap
hinges, to the side of the building.
Then select the material for the roost
poles II fasten the strips to the frame
already made, having the strip nearest
the front q little wider than the rest.
In the front edge of this strip put a
screw eye and to it fasten u rope the
size Of 4 clothesline. Then arrange a
pulley on the side wall in the custom
airy way and you have the folding
rooSt. When it is not in use during the
day pull it up by means of the pulley
and ropes so that it lays fiat against
the side of the house out OF the way.
This plan of a roost enables one to get
at the dropping board underneath with
out trouble, gives the fowls more room
i'll the house during the day and also
gives n a chance to thoroughly clean
the roost at any and all times. Then
there are no creVices into which vermin
can get.

When there is such a quantity of

around the average farm home
more than the ordinary snow
shovel is needed. If the snow is deeD
and the space to be cleared consider

large pillow with horses to pull it. For

RAISING HOGS IN THE WOODS.

Several correspondents have asked if
the WOO lot would be a good place in
which to raise hogs. Yes and no. If
the WOO lot is of thick growth and q
number of pens put up ST that they
would be comfortable in severe wealth
er, they would probably do we'll. The
exercise would be good for them, but
they Shout be fed precisely as they
would be il in confined quarters. Dur

to lay out Il portion of his woods, sur
rounding it with Il fence of wire, so
that the hogs could &c to ii for shade:
this would work very nicely il the

hogs We're having good grass. In such
case IT would not be necessary to feed
them much i'll the way of grain. The
mistake likely to be made is putting
the hogs into the wood lot and expect
ing them to find their living there.
This would be practically impossible,
and if this is the idea our correspond
ents have in mind they had better give
it up. The exercise in such "A place

EIGHT ABREAST.
(By NJ. Quad.)

There they come! Steady, now!''
The enemy should have sent a force
forward to seize the bridge three hours
ago, but of the hundred details of a
battle some are overlooked or someone

marching at will over the dusty road,
is an advance guard to clear the way.
In front of the advance, a few cavalry
men. The latter are first to make the
turn of the highway and note the OBJ
struction and the earthwOrk at the
north end. They smile in derision. In
front of them are a hundred men; be-
hind them five brigades. There will be
a rush down the narrow road with it's
walls of clay-over the bridge-over the
earthwork-a score of dead and wound
ed friends and foes-and the spectre of
death will hardly have been halted on
its march.

old veteran of his right hand man, as
he peers over the top of the earthwork.

Build Up a Field.

There Is no lesson so effective as the
! object lesson. We try to induce the
'armer to drain and fertilize all his
arm, but we will have little impress
on on him till we have been able to
place some object lesson before him,
such as inducing the leading farmers
n every locality to take one field and
build it up, as it were, to high state
Of fertility. A few farmers have done
his under the instruction of profess
ors of the agricultural colleges, and
more are doing it. Their example Is
| being followed by the farmers i'm
nediately around them, who have
oeen impressed by the things that are
! shown
By tIe building up OF field the
farmer himself will learn about his
and many things that he never knew
before he began that work. 1t is sur
prising how many things there are
about farms that their owners do not
know. There was one man that lived
in locality where the popular i'm
preston was that the land could not
be drained. They said that the tex
ture of the soil was such that the wat
er simply evaporated from its surface,
but did not pass through it. Under
the instruction of the state agricultur'
al college the man put in series OF
drains, and, behold, they worked to
perfection. The other farmers in that
vicinity came to see his drains and
were moved by what they saw to con
struct drains of their own.
This man had land that was def
cient in potash. By draining he low
cred the soil water more than foot
and lay bare a layer of soil that was
rich in potash. The roots of the plants
went down to it and the owner of thC
field was relieved of the necessity q
sending away for potash. He possibly
had never discovered this truth till he
began to build up a field.
One field on a farm should be made
to bear the greatest possible crop
that the value of the farm for crop pro
duCtiOn may be understood. 1t will bC
an experimental lot and it's value viii
depend on the care that is given i
and on the figures that are writer
down as to its cost and products
There are very few fields that canno
be improved either mechanically, il
fertilizing or in moisture contents.

Buckwheat, Rye and Fertility.

The discussion of buckwheat as a
feed reminds us to say that it has even
a greater value as fertilizer of the
SOIL as we demonstrated fully on
sandy land that had been reduced to
the Improbable point by too much
cropping to wheat; that was several
years ago, however. Rye was used
in connection with the buckwheat,
but the element most needed was Sc
cured through the buckwheat, the rye
affOrding some feed during the opera
ton, and helping to put the soil in
good mechanical condition. First,
winter rye was sOwn in the fall, pas
tured then, late, and early in spring.
Then allowed to grow until in bloom,
when it was plOwed under and sown
to buckwheat. That, in turn, was
plowed under and again sown to win
ter rye. The following spring red
clover was sown in the rye, when an
excellent stand resulted and the soil
was again in condition to play its part
in crop growing.
