VALUE OF A SLED.

A sled is more convenient for many
uses Of the farm than wagon. EyerY
farmer should have at least one two
horse sled capable Of bearing heavy
loads and about two one-horse sleds
for hauling light loads. There are
many forms Of sleds. some very costly
all serviceabie. One cheap form Is
made from two planks about . or 3
inch) i foot wide and about 10 feet
long for two-horse sled, 6 feet for
one-horse. Cross pieces about O feet
long may be nailed across the top for
hunks, and standards for box may be
nailed on or mortsed into the runners
and the sled drawn by means Of a
chain fastened to the top Of runners.
The runners should be well sloped up
in front and if shorter bearing is
wanted may be sloped at both front
and back. If soled with old wagon
tires it will last long time. All sleds
should be made wide, as a narrow one
is easily upset.-A. n. Horn. in The
Epitomist.

Further Insurance Investigation

back the next but one, holiday inter-
vening, in order to keep within state

Company's report to the Superintend-
ent of Insurance, was the sensational
disclosure made at the session OF the
executive insurance Investigating COM
mittee. The fact was drawn from Ed
munG D. Randolph, treasurer of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
late in the day after Attorney Charles
E. Hughes, Of counsel to the committee
had labored for over an hour to get a
direct answer from Mr.. Randolph to a
direct question.
The inquiry had dragged through a
mass OF figures almost the entire day,
but it was not until near the hour for
ending the session that the sensational
feature was brought out.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Randolph had
handed Mr.. Hughes a schedule of syn
dictate undertakings and transactions
of the New York life for the last ten
years. This statement was to show,
and a footnote to the schedule so sta
ted, that the company had participated
in no syndicate transactions that had
been closed out at loss. Among
these transactions was the underWrit-
ings of the navigation syndicate, or In
ternational Mercantile Marine.

USING THE SKIM MILK

Much of the skim milk which is fed
on the farm is given without much
idea of its value or what it should ac-
complish. 1t is by-product of the
farm, and the main idea seems to be
to feed it and get it out Of the way.
In our experience the best results in
feeding it come from a combination: of
grains, except when it is fed to poul-
try. In this feeding several interest
ing experiments have been made, and
the conclusion reached that the egg re-
turn is best when the grain is fed by
itself. The skim milk is invariably
fed in the morning about 10 o'clock.
poultry come in from the range for
their feed of skim milk.
In the winter we feed the warm
mash in the morning, mixing it with
mixture of equal parts of water and
skim milk; at 10 o'clock We give them
skim milk in the trough, trying to dole
it out so that each bird will get about
cupful; at noon we feed the whole
grain in the litter in the scratching
she'd, and at night whole grain again,
arranging it so that three OF four sup
pers out of the seven are of whole
corn heated in the oven and fed nearly
hot. For swine the best results come
from making a mixture of finely
chopped vegetables, middlings and
enough skim milk to make the mass
like porridge. In the summer this is
fed cold, and in the winter as warm
as the swine can swallow it.-Indian-

The Ranchwoman.

The success of Mrs. w. n. Sherman
and the beauty Of her hospitable home,
the famous Minnewawa ranch in Cali
fornia, should be an incentive to every
woman to hold fast to the home in
stinct while winning her way in the
business world. In the face of much
opposition and caustic comment Mrs.
Sherman, soon after leaving an east
ern college, bought large tract of IN
improved land near Fresno, deter
mined by her own efforts to develop
its possibilities.
Her success is indicated by the fact
that Minnewawa is valued at over five
times the original investment During
the busiest season there are over 400
people at work on the ranch and in the
cannery. Since discovering that by
personal oversight of the packing her
grapes brought from 500 to $500 more
per carload than when left to the SUI
pervision of others, Mrs. Sherman
very sagely concluded that a woman
can be a real helper, even though she
leave the care of the household to
some one else. Mrs. Sherman has not
confined her efforts TO raisin growing
alone, but has a national reputation as
a stock raiser and fruit grower.-Pil.

Atlanta, Ga.

William F. Harbour, of Atlanta,
has invented and received letters
of patent upon cotton har-
vester which he feels confident will
solve the cotton picking problem. Ac-
cording to the patent rights issued
to Mr.. Harbour, his machine is de-
scribed as improved pneumatic cotton
harvester. Mr.. Harbour's cotton har-
vester works on the principle Of pneu-
matte suction, and is SO constructed
and adjusted as to separate the lint
cotton from the leaves and other for
eign matter which may be gathered
with it. The machine is made to be
hauled across a cotton field by pair
of mules, and can be operated, it is
stated, by one man and boy. Mr..
Harbour states that his machine will
pick all the cotton open in a five-acre
field in one day. A demonstration Of
these facts will prove Mr.. Harbour S
machine to the South what the reaper
and binder is to the great grain grow
ing sections Of the west. The princi-
jle of Mr.. Harbour machine is vast
ly different from that of the other
machines which have been constructed
with the same end in view, but which
have practically proven failures. The
principle of other machines has been
either rotating fingers or revolving
stems.

HORSES OR OXEN.

The New Hampshire Experiment
Station has been keeping an account
of the cost of feeding horse, that
weighed 1900 pounds, for a year, he
being kept at moderately hard work,
and say that it costs $74.32. In round
numbers, then, it costs $3.50 year to
feed pair of such horses, and the cost
Of shoeing would be about SIS more,
while repairs to harnesses and keep
ing them cleaned and oiled would make
another $40. Then the ordinary farm
er will not make such a pair OF horses
last more than ten years, and many
would use them up in half that time.
Say that they cost $500, which is not
fancy price, and yet does net mean
cheap pair that can not do a fair
days work. Can they do any more
work on farm than yoke of good
fOur-year-old oxen? Can they do any
work that the oxen cannot, unless it
be on moving machine or reaper?
We know that the oxen can work best
in swamps or among stumps. 1t costs
less for the yoke and chains than for
a harness. They are more easily taken
care of. When not at work they can
feed in the pasture, and they require
little grain feed, unless working very
hard or being fattened, and il well
cared for after three or four years at
work they can be sold for beef for
much more than they cost at three
years old, while If the farmer raises
them himself they seem to have cost
him nothing.
More than one farmer who fails to
make much more than fair living at
his business will find upon invesdga
ton that it costs him from $500 to
$500 q year, and some of them much
more than that for a horse team to
do the work that his father used to
do with his oxen. His father raised
his calves, trained them and worked
them. Sometimes he sold one or two
yoke of steers sometimes yoke of fat
oxen. When he did so it seemed al
most like finding SO much money, and
often he put it in the bank or let it
out on mortgage. Now the son has to
70 to the bank or raise money by Civ
ing a mortgage every few years to
purchase new team of horses
