USING THE OPEN WEATHER.

The man who does not spread the ma
nure on the soil because 1t Is too hard
work in cold weather has little excuse for
this neglect this winter If he would make
some sort of test, in small way, of the
comparative value of manure n the barn
yard all winter. that stored in suitable
sheds and that placed directly upon the
soil soon after it Is made he would find the
results in favor OF the last named method.
but, more especially, would he realize
what he is losing yearly by having the
manure in the open barn yard subject to
the elements. We do not know If any one
has ever been able to calculate the loss IN
one year to farmers throughout the Unit
ed States because of the manure lying in
the open barn yards, but it must be simply
enormous. During the open wca thcr, with
little snow on the ground, the manure
spreader will do splendid work and will
put the manure just where one wants it.
Even If 1t must be spread by hand it VIII
certainly pay to do 1t. Why not try the
plan suggested of a small area MANFRED

yard all winter and an equal area with
manure which has been under cover and a
third equal area covered during the WIN

DANGER TO PoULTRY5.

While it Is pleasant to see the fowls get
SO much exercise and sunshine during this
long open winter. one should be prepared
at all times for the colder, weather likely
to: come any day. The main danger lies
In permitting the houses to become damp
or to allow the fowls to remain out too
long. Even during these pleasant days
we find 1t the best plan to give the birds
the range only about three hours at the
middle OF the day; the rest Of the time
they have the open scratching shed for ex-
ercise. but the curtains are dropped as
soon as the cold wind begins to blow. nv
this treatment the fowls become rugged
and yet are not permitted to get chilled
by standing around out Of doors when
they can find nothing to pick at; they are
much better in the scratchig shed search
ing for the few grains OF corn or wheat
scattered through the char. Remember.
the grit box, the dust boxes and all feetiinr
utensils should be in the scratching she'd
the house proper obtaining only the nest
foxes and the roosts. On the other hand
DO not make the roosting compartment too
dark and cheerless; have enough windn,.s

so 1t will be fairly light and see that it Is
comfortable. Cover the floor with chaff
so that the birds may find comfort there
should they desire to stay. Ventilation Is
essential III this portion of the house for
the air Will become heavy during the night
and the fowls will be dumpish and not
likely to lay well If there Is not good vcn-
tilation.

PREPARATION FOR ALFALFA.

Unless positively sure that the soil is
sweet it is good plan to start the pre-
paration of the soil for alfalfa by apply
ing about 500 pounds to the acre of I'M
slaked lime and pillow under; then inocu-
late the soil by spreading broadcast over
it 500 pounds of soil from Il field which has
grown good crops of alfalfa. The soil
ought then to be narrowed and re-har-
rowed until one has as fine a seed bed as
he would prepare for wheat. If the soil
is rich 1t will be a good plan to let the,
field lie for little time, which may be
done If the work is done early in the
spring, so that the first crop of weeds will
start and row large enough so that, with
the harrow, they can be gotten out of the
way before the seed alfalfa Is sown. Next
comes the sowing of the seed and it must
be said here that the finest seed obtain
able, that which has been we'll cleaned and
cleaned again is none too good. 1t will be
expensive but 1t will pay. Sow this seed
by itself (do not mix any other seed with
1t for alfalfa does not need a nurse
croD'o at the rate of 20 pounds per acre.
On rich soil the weeds are quite likely
to get the start of the alfalfa making it
necessary to clip them off once and per-
haps twice before the alfalfa will hold it's
own; this will be tedious work but 1t will
pay. A field prepared and sown to alfalfa
as directed will become a permanent fix
ture on the farm nine times out of ten.
VENTILATION FOR COW STABLE.
Any dairyman who has had experiences
on both sides of the question will say
without hesitation that ventilation in the
COW stable means an added profit to the
dairy. Ventilation by no means can be
had through open windows unless they arc
skillfully placed but even this plan is
much better than the practically closed
room. While the best system of ventl-
alton Is undoubtedly the one that admits
the air from the bottom, we have made
the same plan we use in the poultry
houses work very nicely. In the stable
containing 16 cows we have three Of these
ventilators which are simply hollow fun
nelsa foot square running through the roof
with holes eight inches square on the sides
at the top. and one board cut cut entirely
at the end which rests on the floor. This
, board is cut out so as to leave an opening
just square foot. An excellent plan OF
window ventilation is that described some
weeks since with a double window, one
of glass and one of muslin, the latter to
slip over the opening when the window OF
glass is pulled aside. 1t Is also possible
to provide ventilation without draughts
| through windows by the use of screans
That Is, arrange light board screen on
| the side of the casing next to the COWS so
| that when the window is opened the wind
may be DETECTED away from the animals
AS matter OF fact anyone with a little
skill can arrange Il ventilation system
| which, while it may not be pretty nor.
the best thing obtainable will answer the
purpose admirably. Have some sort of a
ventilating system then keep the cows and
the stables clean and one will see a de-
cided increase In the profits from the
| dairy

GROUND FEED FOR HORSES.

Horses do much better when they grind
their own feed no matter what it may be,
hence. except on special occasions, 1t is
not desirable to let horses have much
ground food. Corn, If fed should be given
shelied at times and other times on the
ear; other grains should invariably be
given whole and, only on rare occasions.
should the hay be cut very fine. Timothy
or mixed hay should be fed, the former to
be preferred. Fed the proper rations in
this way with some roots occasionally
there will be little danger of Indigestion
provided the horse Is properly stabbed
where there Is considerable ventilation
Exercise and good water are. o, course, es-
senttal and with the other things mem
toned there ought to be little trouble with
the horse ut any time. During the winter
grooming should be done with special care
for with the thick coat it is apt to get
dirty and the d.rts go out Of sight unless
the grooming is done thoroughly each day.
Use the comb. the brush and large cloth
for the final rubbing OF of the dust by the
