STOCK AND DAIRY NOTES.

For hog pastures woven wire is the
best fencing material. ~
For the first few days newly purchased
hogs should be fed lightly.
Il No man should attempt to raise hogs
without adequate fencing Of yards and

infested districts. s@i .5 st4
Sweet cream butter is coming much
into use In this country. This kind Of
butter is not made, as might be supposed
from the name, from cream from sweet
milk, but Is generally made Of ripened
cream. It is called sweet because 1t is
not sailed. ..s. b., S y 5s5z 8ss s.
A COW must be very poor mixer
not to respond to good feed and good
care. Good feeding can greatly increase
the milk-producing powers~of the cows
we have, but only to the limit of their
natural capacity. Many Of our cows are
being fed so unscientifically that they
have never been brought up to their full
capacity. -Farmers' Review.

Then lay third course and nail to other

You are now ready to build the silo.

turn over and paint same as before.
Paint the edges In same way. In doing
this you have a silo that will last about

eighths inch iron. Each hoop is in four
sections. To reach through the 4x6 tim
bers, have threads cut six or eight inch

To make doors: Go inside Of silo. Take
pieces cut out and nail together with
barrel slaves. These doors will be held
in place by pressure Of the silage. Don't
spend a cent on cement or other bot

she sternly denied the leaning. But she
answered it, as the writer had earnestly
begged she should.
That was theIbeginning. Before many

when MIX Cans Get Rusty.

Don't keep throwing away money
patching rusty milk-cans, when at best
they will last but q little, longer; such a
practice is decidedly disastrous to the
quality of the milk. Throw them away
and get some good, new cans, we'll timed.
Always empty them as soon as they re-
turn from the creamery; wipe dry after
washing and give them daily sun bath.
Given this treatment, good can ought
to @ last seven or eight years.--Midland

Vermont Farmer Makes : Discovery
Which Surprised Him and His
NsighborsS % We'll.

Simeon Johnson, farmer OF Tyson.
We. made ! discovery recently which
80 surprised him that he has spread the
marvellous tale from one end Of the
county to the other. }iy5 5,s353 III
For several months Sim has known
that some one or something has been,
stealing milk from his pet Jersey COW.
His good wife told him that the Jersey
had, simply dried mp and that he was
"amicted with Z spell Of imagination"
Sim, however. declared that he knew
that he knew. and at up nights to dis
cover the thief. But hssaw no invaders,
and the more sleep no lost the madden
he got. ~. 5
The Jersey was ono Of herd Of 20.
and % her milk was richer than that Of
the others the supply was saved for fam
lily use. She was quartered in . stall
at the end Of the COW stable and until
three months ago gave four quarts
morning and night. Then she suddenly
cut down her morning quota to little
or nothing. Sim would have agreed
with his wife If Bess hadn't furnished
the usual amount at night and seemed
ravenously hungry.
It made no difference whether Sim
watched or not; the milk was always
gone in the morning, although It was
several times established that at mid
night the supply was normal. It was
this fact more than anything else that
bothered Sim and gave him creepy and
uncanny sensations when he kept his
v1gils by the dim, uncertain light Of an
old kerosene lantern. He couldn't hg-
ure out why Bess should not give milk
in the morning when there was plenty at
midnight, or why she should be we'll
supplied at night and not at the early
milking: >>Sss q
II don't believe there is anything
milkin' that cow" said Mrs. Johnson
one day recently, '''but If there is II
crawls, and you won't catch it unless
you clean out the bedding SO you can
see the stall floor" ,.r,s. ... a
4 Sim allowed there might. be some
thing in this, and 50 he swept odt tho
stall and made Bess lie on the planks
instead Of on q fine bed of clean straw.
About nine o'clock he got his lantern
and once more took up his post Of vigil.
He had begun to doze when he heard
Bess shift her position, and he held up
the light. He was just In time to see !
long, glistening, sinuous form slip from
under the side Of the reclining cow and
glide down a rat-hole in the corner Of

Bess jumped to her feet and mooed
contentedly as the farmer advanced
cautiously and began a careful investi-
CATION. There was but one rat-hole.
This led to pile of rocks under the
barn, and Sim retired to the house. In
the morning, with the help Of the hired
man, the rocks were removed, and five
rattlers, each three times its natural
size, were killed. According to the
number Of srattles, Ill but one was
young, but exceedingly large and fat. 60
