be driven out or in or the cleaning OF
the pens from the alley. In this case
doors connecting the alley and pens
were purposely omitted. The troughs
were made Of two inch hemlock, con-
structed in a V shape, one side being
two by ten inch material and the other
side and ends two by eight. These
troCghs are simply toe nailed in be-
tween the division posts, so that they
can be removed easily and replaced
when necessary. We like the V shaped
troughs in preference to any fiat bot
toned sort in the piggery, because the
pigs can clean them more readily and
thoroughly, and there is practically no
contact Mt the floor except for the short
end pieces. AZ a result filth and mois-
ture do not accumulate beneath them.
On the underside of the V shaped
trough next the alley the floor is al
ways dry, and on the pen side it can
be cleaned thoroughly and is always
exposed to the air."

Care of Bees.

Modern hives with good brood cham
5ers equal to the laying capacity Of
the queen are considered best for win
tering; the stores are usually sufficient.
When all breeding is over for the sea-
son the central combs are often def
cient in stores. Here a good, practical
feeder comes into requisition, one that
can be used dDring the cold nights of
October and that will work success
fully with thick sirup. Nothing is gain
ed by compelling the bees to evaporate
a large amount of water so late in the
season. For late feeding use about one
quart of water to every fourteen
pounds of the best g~ranulated sugar.
When early feeding is practiccd thin
sirup may be used, but for late feeding
we need the strip very thick, just thin
enough SO the bees can work it nicely.

Movable Partitions That Protect
Feeding TrOurhs.
An authority on such matters is quot
ed by an exchange as follows in Civ
ing a plan for swinging partitions in
the pen: This is no new invention, for
the device, with many notifications, is
used in numerous farmers piggeries.
The only wonder Is that 1t is not more
universally used. The top of this
swinging partition consists Of a two
by four from which the three foot par
tition made of inch boards swing by
hinges. This partition is held in place
at all times by a half inch iron rod
which slips up and down in staples,
being received at the bottom in holes
bored in a hardwood cleat nailed across
the center of the trough. This fasten-
ing prevents the pigs from moving the
partition at any time. If the pens are
over ten feet in width the swinging
partitions are too cumbersome to work
well. They should not be made to
swing into the pen past the edge of
the trough when fastened, or the pigs
will soon gnaw the edge Of the bottom
board off. These partitions are made
to swing back until they stand straight
up overhead, resting at the ends be-

A Storage Pit,

In regard to storing apples when
space is scarce American Cultivator
says: Apples may be stored, like roots,
In a pit, covering them with straw at
first and afterward with earth when
colder weather requires it. The bottom
of the pit should be covered with
boards or straw to keep the apples
from touching the earth, which Is apt
10 give them an earthly taste. This
method is only advised as a makeshift
In case no room can be found to store
the apples more conveniently.
Making a pit for storing produce is a
simple matter, and yet roots stored thus
are often lost by carelessness in put
ting them in too deeply, so that they
heat, grow and rot. The pit for pota-
toes, beets and carrots should not be
piled owe two feet deep with roots,
and for turnips and horseradlsh it is
best not TO have them over Il foot deep.
Cover lightly at first and increase the
covering as cold weather comes on,
bearing in mind that there is more
danger from heat than from frost. Veg
etables well stored in n pit come out
very fresh and nice In the spring.

Ole Peterson, M of the most ardent
advocates of good roads in minnesota,
is making a strenuous effort to arouse
the people to support Tie proposed CON
stitutional amendment. to be voted on
in November. empowering the state
legislature to make II direct tax levy
for road purposes. says the Good
loads MagcZine. In discussing state
aid he recently said: you will find
that from 40 to 40 per cent of the tax
able property Of the state is in city
and village property. and | think 1t nc
more than just and proper that this
portion Of wealth should be taxed in
connection with other property in the
state for the benefit of better country
roads. The citizens Of rural districts
should be thoroughly conyersant with
these facts. In orCcr that they may
fully realize the benefit Of state aid
and that they may better appreciate
the Importance Of the proposed amend
ment. If It is adopted the legislature
can levy one-fourth Of a mill. and that
quarter of a mill will build some nice
stretches of highway"

The following, together with the illus

The runners ca should be two by six
or eight inches and six to eight feet
long. The upright post (B) should be
of the same dimensions two and one
half feet high. The braces Co may be
of one by four inch stuff. Bore holes
at top Of (B) in which to insert the
iron bar CD, as shown, for holding
spool to be unwound. By fastening the
end of wire to post and driving off
along line of fence, wire Is easily laid
ready for stretching.

Age of Cement Posts.

Where live stock has access to the
fence we would not advise putting
them in too soon after they are made.
The man who makes his own posts
need have little fear if he puts them in
the ground when they are a month or
six weeks old. A line post four inches
square at the bottom and three inches
at the top is considered plenty strong
enough for all practical purposes, pro-
vided it is properly strengthened by
the use Of an iron rod or wire. For
corner posts of course much more ma
terial must be used.-Iowa Homestead.

HOW TO USE A DRAG.
Some Points on Improving u High
way by the King Method.

An Illinois highway commission has
issued a bulletin on the split log, or
King drag, which contains these in
structions for It's manipulation:
Make a light drag, which is hauled
over the road at an angle so that a
small amount Of earth Is pushed to the
center of the road.
Drive the team at a walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk along
side.
Begin at one side of the road or
wheel track, returning up the opposite
side.
Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the mud
is in such a condition as to stick to the
drag. 80
Do not drag a dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all sea
sons of the year. If a road is dragged
Immediately before a cold spell it will
freeze in a smooth condition.
The width Of travelled way to be
maintained by the drag should be from
ciShtceu W twenty lcet. FlTSt uTaS d
little more than the width Of a single
wheel track, then gradually increase
until the desired width is observed.
Always drag a little earth toward the
center of the road until it Is raised
from ten to twelve inches above the
edges Of the Travelled way.
The amount of earth that the drag
will carry along can be very consider.
ably controlled by the driver, accord
ingly as he stands near the cutting
end or away from it.
When the roads are first dragged
after a very muddy spell the wagons
should drive, If possible, to one side
until the roadway has a chance to
freeze OF partially dry ont.
The best results from dragging are
obtained only by repeated applications.
Remember that constant attention Is
necessary to maintain an earth road in
It's best condition.

The Shyfng Horse.

Shying is a dangerous habit. 1t can
not properly be termed a vice, as 1t is
generally the result OF defective vision.
Gentle treatment, soothing words and
patient persistence in accustoming the
animal to the dreaded object will often
effect a cure. TO lash a horse because
it SHES OF is frightened only a~ggravates
the evil. The punishment is associated
with the frightful object, and the horse
will fear it more and more each time
the object is encountered, and there
fore this is the worst way shying can
be treated.-Deuyer Field and Farm.

AN INTELLIGENT WITNESS.
"A Fnrmer Who Knows the Advantage
of Good Roads.


of Good Roads.
The following extract from a letter
from Clayton Conrow of Cinnaminson,
N. j.. te state Highway Commissioner
Sargent Of Maine is the intelligent tes-
tlmony Of a farmer on the advantage
Of good roads, and based upon facts
instead of theories, says Good Roads
Magazine. And while local conditions
vary, the principle i~nvolved-that is,
the economy Of easy transportation-is
applicable everywhere:
81 live upon the line of an improved
road leading from Philadelphia to New
York, ten miles from the former place,
and before the road was improved
twenty-five baskets of promiscuous
farm produce would make a big two
horse road. After the road was i'm
proved the average load has not been
less than 100 baskets, some farmers
taking as many as $50 baskets to a
load, but this last number Is exception
al; also before Improvement it would
take a team all day to make the round
trip of about twenty-three miles to the
heart of the city; since improvement
1t requires an average of about seven
hours. Now, assuming that a team and
driver would be worth 81 per day, the
regular price here. 1t would cost 10
cents per basket for a farmer to land
his produce In the market in the first
case and but 4 cents per basket In
the latter, allowing the seven hours to
make a day.
at must be evident to every unprei-
udiced observer that the farmers in
this section would have been out of
business had not the road been i'm
proved.
at must be evident also that the
farmer does not get all the benefit, for
the citizen shares a part of
it, for it often happens during the glut
of the season that farm produce sells
for less than 1G cents per basket. This
is a sufficient justification, | think, for
asking the cities to help pay for I'M
proving country roads. This is true
of everything the resident of the city
uses or consumes. 1t can be delivered
to him much more cheaply over a good
road than a bad road"

NEGLECTED LANDS.
Method of Clearing Them Used In
Connecticut.

Method of Clearing Them Used In
Connecticut.
Professor Jarvis of the Connecticut
experiment station presents in the New
England Homestead n desirable way
to clear lands:
In few sections of the country do we
find such rapid transportation after
neglect as in New England. 1t is not
an uncommon occurrence while walk
ing through a forest to find at regular
distances apple trees, which a few
years ago formed our commercial or
chards.
There is no magic method whereby
this growth of brush may be subdued
and the land brought into workable
condition. Two courses may be follow
ed-a long one extending over three or
four years and the other a shorter one
requiring only one or two years. The
former consists in cutting the bush
and keeping the land moved off or
pastured. BY preventing the growth
of foliage in this way for about three
years, and thus starving the roots, the
land should be under control.
The second and more desirable meth
cd consists in the use of the plow and
harrow and the sowing of some crops
which will quickly take possession of
the land. The common practice is to
cut the brush in the fall or winter and
in early spring get in with the pillow
and follow with the disk harrow.
/ would suggest that the brush be
cut as soon as possible, for the longer
the delay the more difficult will be the
undertaking. If the owner of the land
wishes to get possession as soon as
possible, it would be well to get in with
the plow this fall and follow with the
cuta way harrow in the spring. If pas
ture is desired it would he well to
SOW rye and seed down. In Connect
cut a great deal of such land Is being
used for orchard purposes. The trees
are set out as soon as bush is cut.
The subjugating process is essentially
the same except that it is done in the
young orchard. The trees have the
benefit of the cultivation and are n
year further advanced than If plant
ing We're. delayed until the land is
cleared of roots.
