their nests in corners away from doors,
and the wind will not blow on them
when the doors are open. The pens next
to the alley can be used to feed in, when
the weather is bad. and when good, the
feeding can be done in lots outside. The

would lay the floor with cement con-
crete, making the alley floors level. but
the pen floors I would slope from the
south wall towards the alley, about
three inches in the IL feet. This will
tend to cause all water to flow towards
the alley, and keep the nests and feed
stalls comparatively dry. The bedding
from the nests, when soiled, can go into
the lots or alley, just as the feeder
wishes, when he cleans out the stalls.
The yards shouldsbe kept clean by
throwing in straw. or other coarse mate
rial. Over this floor plan the builder
can put such building as suits him best;
shed in form, the roSf 'sloping one
way, or a comb roof. In either case, II
he Wishes room for bedding and feed
above the pens. The building should be
located on an elevated point of ground,
SO the water will flow away from 1t in
all directions, and the roof spouted, to
keep water from making 1t wet about
the building. Make doors at the ends of
the alley. If the doors are cut in half,
1t will often be an advantage in airing
out the pens. There should also be
plenty of windows on the south side,

rha Rreedinr Mare


A Canadian horse breeder says: In
selecting the mare for breeding pur-
poses you should get one well-ribbed
and wide, with length, depth, ample
heart room and good constitution.
The foals often take after their dams
in constitution and stamina; therefore
1t is highly necessary to select mares
possessing these qualifications. The
head and neck should be set on good
sloping shoulders, the quarters big and
muscular and, above all, good legs and
feet. The feet should be of good size,
sound, open ones, not abnormally large,
but hollow below, with strong heels,
and thick, tough crusts. Big, fiat, over
grown feet are often the first place
where heavy horse is likely to go
wrong, II overtaken by any serious Ill.
ness.

THE LIVE STOCK.

Study the individual needs Of each
COW and supply those needs.
Keep the horse judiciously shod and
exercised.
Be cheerful-help to inspire the other
fellow too.
Some cows would be better ones IL
they were fed more. >
You can change the quantity of milk
by the feed, but the quality is born
with the COW.
A strong, well-grown SOW may be bred
to farrow at one year, but small one
should not be bred until 10 or IL months
old.
Chat and loose straw dropping
through the cracks of an ill-construct-
ed ceiling are constant source and
cause Of dust during milking. The CELL
ing of the stable should be as tight as
Jour house.
Many a stable of four or more horses,
If intelligently mated and driven, would
do better work and do 1t easier. An
old horse mated to young one, a heavy
horse to a light one, slow horse to q
fast one, often causes trouble, which
might easily be avoided by little fore
sight and judgment in the matter.

FEEDING CABBAGE.
They Are Almost Certain to faint
the Milk Of the Dairy
Cows,

Pure milk is the product of a healthy
cow fed on suitable food, exactly as it
leaves her udder. Fortunately all our
common, feeds including silage, produce
pure milk free from taints, odors or
poisonous ingredients. Such food ma
terials as cabbage, turnips or onions
will leave in the milk their character
istic oils, give it an unpleasant flavor,
and make it unstable, says G. D. Smith.
of the Michigan Agricultural college.
Turnips would better be omitted from
the catalogue Of dairy foods.
In 80 cases out Of 100, turnips, cab.
bage and rape can be so fed as not to
affect the quality Of the milk in any
way. Just when you want pure milk
the worst, however, you will find
that some particular cow, the d.
gestive apparatus of which was not
keyed to the right pitch, will give q
mess of milk which taints the product
Of the whole herd.

THE LADIES ALL BOWED.
A Social Custom Of Uruguay That
Led to an Amusing I'm
position.

How different the social customs of
Uruguay are from those of Great Britain
was we'll illustrated by story related
by South American visitor, says Cas-
sells.
He told how a young Canadian went
to Uruguay to join q friend from the
United States, who had spent some
years in Montevideo, the capital.
The Canadian was much struck by the
friendly terms which his friend seemed
to have established with the fair ones
of the place, and rallied him upon the
fact. The American calmly replied that
he knew every lady IN the city!
This struck the Canadian as adecid-
eddy tall" statement, and, his friend
volunteering to convince him on the
point, the two set of for a jaunt through
the capital.
In the course of the walk the pair met
several hundred ladies, all of whom &C.
knowledged the Americans salute with
bow and smile, and the Canadian ad-
mttted himself convinced.
And his wonder was intense until he
learned that he had been victim of q
Uruguayan custom under which any
gentleman who bows to q lady in the
street receives an answering bow Of
recognition whether she knows him or
not.

The Best Results Not Obtained from
the Chickens Which Have
to BE Confined.

have found by large experience
that it is not advisable to pen up
fowls unless they have to be penned,
writes an Indiana correspondent of q
farm journal. Closely penned fowls are
generally deprived of many of the things
fowls should have to enable them to do
their best work. Usually the green stun

1t soon disappears altogether. have
lady friend who was very anxious to
keep hens. She had house built for
them, about ten by ten feet in size, and a
yard about as wide as the house, and
30 feet long. She bought four beau
tiful White Rocks and rooster. How
pretty they looked in the yard, bright
with green grass! If she had but been
content with the little flock, she might
have been keeping hens yet.
But alas! She thought if 80 eggs a
month were such a help, 400 eggs a
month would be far better, so she
bought 20 more fowls of the same
breed. That made a flock of Is.
How the grass did disappear from
that yard! BY midsummer not q
green thing was left there. When the
fall rains began. even the roots of the
grasses that had made UP the texture
of the sod had disappeared, having
decayed in a few weeks after the tops
were killed. The birds spattered
around in lake of mud. How they
did look, covered with mud from foot

visitors out to see them. Her en-
thusiasm had died out, and she gave the
fowls as little attention as possible.

peared. The lady said she had got
tired of keeping chickens, "they are so
dirty"
Now. if my friend had retained her
little flock and at the same time
retained that bit of green grass, she
would not have become disguised.
Looks count for great deal.

Success.

The great difficulty in planning hog
house is to get 1t SO that 1t will be dry

have four sleeping-or nest-pens, and
four feed pens; close partitions between
them, except passageway between the
nest pen and the feed pen, explains John
M. Jamison, in the Rural New Yorker.
Each feed and nest pen is to be 5x6 feet,
and the alleyway 4x2O feet. The build

pens on south side, and alley on north
side, and have yard on south side as
large as desirable. would make a

said the mother. "But can have more

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers. The nerve
centers are the reservoirs of nervous
vitality. These centers become blood
less for want of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of weak
nerves.
