Farm Water Works.

The illustration explains itself. The
plan is intended to meet the needs OF
the ordinary dairy or stock farm
where there is windmill for pump
ing the water. A two-inch tube con-
veys the water into the galvanized
in tight wooden box. Water is
dipped from this tank for household
purposes both summer and winter.
The overflow is near the top, hence
does not freeze as 1t is never filled

Agricultural Fairs.

The fair season has been exception
ally gratifying. Upon the whole, the
agricultural exhibitions throughout
the country have been better than
usual. Fakes have been discouraged
and legitimate exhibits have benefited.
The issue of complete catalogues, using
plain numbers conspicuously over
each animal or other exhibit and re-
ferring to them in the catalogue, has
attracted favorable attention wher-
ever it has been adopted. Individual
exhibitors have assisted the manage
ment materially by having placards
printed, bearing their name and the
name Of the exhibit and other infor-
nation for the benefit Of those attend

For Shelled Corn.

Where considerable corn has to DC
shelled for the animals on the farm
it is often waited by falling on the
barn floor and through the cracks De-
tween the boards. The device here
suggested is easily made, and II cor
rectly made will certainly save the
corn to the last grain. Make box
three feet long. eighteen inches wide
and ten or twelve inches deep. Cover
over one end of this, at the top, on
which to fasten the corn shelter.
Make an inclined bottom to within
eight inches of the end, which re-
mains open. Put legs under this box
and set it high enough so that a pail
or bag can be set under the open
end bottom to catch the grains OF
corn as they come from the shelter.
If bag is used. hooks will have to

Caring for Early Chicks.

caring IOr E0rIy AnlCASs
Every one who raises poultry for egg
production realizes the value Of the
early Matched chick. Unfortunately.
many of the early Matched chicks die.
from various causes, but 1t IS worth
considerable trouble to take all the
precautions possible to raise all the
chicks that are born healthy. One Of
the best methods of doing this is to pro-
vide special house for the hens and
their brOOds Such a house should be
low. not expensive, and built so that
the greatest possible amount Of sun
light can enter it. If this sunlight Is
admitted through glass placed close to
the floor care must be taken to cover
this glass at night.
The space for each hen and her
brood need not be large, four feet
square would be ample, just enough
to provide plenty of room for exercise
on the part of the chicks. If this room
for exercise Is given the chicks will not
huddle so closely about the mother in
cold weather, but will run. around, bask
in the sun and pick up small grain il it
is placed where they can get it. in the
chaff on the floor. All this is trouble.
Of course, but it makes strong. healthy
chicks and reduces the number Of
deaths among early Matched chicks to
a minimum
