Some Big Flyers.

From st. Nicholas.
OF birds now in existence, probably the
one with the greatest expanse of wing in
proportion to the body, and with the
greatest power of flight, is the frigate
or man-o'-war bird. This bird apparently
flies more by skill than by strength, for
1t has no great carrying powers. The
wandering aibatross, the largest Of all
sea birds. is also one of our strongest fly
ers. One bird was known to fly at least
$50 miles In twelve days. This bird was
caught tagged, released and caught
again.

OF a cabinet which stood beside my

HORSES Thrive ON SILAGE
But, Says an Indiana Man, It Must
Be Fed Judiciously and with
Some Care.

When silage was first introduced
many cases of sickness in horses were
reported, and it was then thought
silage was not suited for horses; under
proper care, however, good silage is q
safe and valuable food for horses.
When beginning to feed silage, allow
the animal to become accustomed to
the food by degrees, as this is as i'm
portant as when changing from old to
new corn or from hay to grass. At
the first feed give small amount, and
increase gradually as the animals ap.
petite and condition of bowels may in.
dictate. Silage makes good roughage
for horses when used in connection
with hay or slower and grain. Silage
is also good feed for hogs and has
been found to be economical to use in
conjunction with corn as mainte-
nance ration, but not SO If used alone.
All good silage contains q largo
amount of corn and IL a large ration Of
corn is given besides, it often proves
dangerous and gives bowel trouble.
Hogs fed from % to IS popnds of sill
age and IA to u pounds Of corn on
the cob per week can be kept in good
condition through the severe winter.
BY using silage the feeder saves one
third in the cost of feed. Silage is
considered cheap maintenance ration
for carrying brood sows over winter.
and not for neutrality-suspicious.

Windmill Made at Home.

It may be built by setting an upright
post, supporting an upright shaft, hav-
ing q hub on top, carrying three hort-
zontal arms, to each Of which are hinged
light rectangular frames, covered with
heavy muslin or light canvas, regulated
to swing in one direction only, from
horizontal to perpendicular. The sails
are carried with wind at right angles to
It. and return edgewise against the wind.
The post may lean two feet at the top,
so as to shorten the connection Of the
upper box with it. The lower bearing
may be in a post set even with the
ground, under the upper bearing. The
pulley, four feet in diameter, secured
near the bottom of the shaft; may have
a smooth, true groove for rope band
burned into it's circumference by crow
bar, its one end resting in hole in q
lost, the other in nand, while the mid
die, in contact with the wheel. Is red
hot.-Albert Daily, in st. Louis Globe"

fasten another pulley to ring in hay
fork. Then tie one end of rope to open
ring, after it has been closed, and then
through pulley at c, then down through
pulley at b, which is on fork then
through pulley at a, then through a pull
ley at d, which is down on barn floor.
All that is necessary to change the fork
so as to drop hay in either NOW is to
unite rope from fork and tie opposite end
there. This method saves one the cost
of track and car, and will pull almost
directly straight upwards until the fork
full of hay gets pretty we'll up, then will
travel over NOW. Those who have hay
to stack can use this plan by using two
tai posts, or one If stack is near tree
which can be used to fasten one pulley
to. Set post far enough away so you
can drive load of hay between post and
stack. This rigging will not take any
more rope than track and car, and is
very convenient in small barns.-C. O.
