The Hen and Her Brood.

When it comes to surety, safety and
comfort for both the hen and her
keeper, the pen system Of managing
the hen and her brood is the best and
in the long run it is much the cheapest.
We have written on this subject be-
fore, but it is so timely now and it is
such a good thing-such a great help
to the management of the hen mothers
and their little ones during the grow
ing season, that we are writing on it
once more.
The chief idea is individuality and
comparative isolation of each hen and
her chickens and in this alone much
is attained, for the more we divide
the growing stock the more Of il we
will raise.
In carrying out this plan, observes
H. B. Geer, a good, stout, weather and
varmint proof coop is the first essen
tial, for the chickens must have pro-
lection at night. The next necessity is
a pen made of Stats or wire netting,
this to enclose the coop, say a space
about ten by twelve feet all around
it, and the fencing should be six feet
high and then the fight feathers of one
wing Of the hen should be cut so that
she can not fly out, should she be of a
flighty turn. A gate at the front is,
Of course, necessary.
Within 4 small yard Of this kind one
hen and her brood should be placed,
but the fencing should not be so close
that the little chicks cannot pass in
and out, for it is not intended to con-
fine them, but their mother. This
makes a security reserve for them-a
place of refuge for them from any
danger, and yet they may enjoy free
range at the same time. 1t also makes
it possible to feed each hen and her
brood separately, which is a most de-
sirable condition, as it prevents mob
bling up and oyercroWding.

Rape For sheep.


It has been we'll attested that rape
makes the quickest and one Of the best
sheep and hog pastures that can be
grown. One of our correspondents, MIR.
L. G. Reynolds, says Of rape:
Rape has won for itself great popu-
larity as a food for sheep in recent
years. 1t is grown to-day more or less
upon every farm where sheep or hogs
are raised. I have grown rape for
sheep pasture for more than twelve
years, and the more I grow Of 1t the
more thoroughly I am convinced it is
one Of the best sheep feeds the farmer
can grow. While it does not come on
as early as rye in the spring, its hardy
nature makes it one Of the best of for
age crops. When sown under favora-
BILE conditions it will supply a large
amount Of palatable pasture at six
weeks of growth, and the fact that it
can be sown at any season Of the year
makes it one Of the best general forage
crops for the farmer. No sheep owner
can afford not to grow rape. 1t can be
sown during every growing season of
the year and produce excellent pasture.
I prefer to SOW rape in drills instead
Of broadcast, as many do. A better
stand Of plants can be occurred by this
method, and the stock does not tramp
the forage down nearly SO much. 1
SOW my rape with a hand or grain
drill in rows twenty inches apart. Sow
about four pounds of seed per acre.
Care should be exercised not to SOW the
seed too deep.-Indiana Farmer.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Much labor and expense may be
saved by planning ahead.
Only a few varieties should be plant
ed in the commercial orchard.
Exercise has a decided value in low
ering the cost of egg production.
The more litter in the manure, the
slower the process of decomposition.
Celeriac is a plant similar to celery,
but more easily grown and more easily
cooked.
Too large quantities Of fertilizers
applied at one time will kill tender
plants.
But few plants will thrive in a wet
soil. A good drain is sometimes better
than manure
There are few times Of the year
when a good pair Of pruning shears
can not be used to good advantage.
Don't forget the stock water in the
pasture. Stock must not be without
good water, not for a day nor half 4
day.
When a better price for better fruit
is obtained, the difference in price pays
for handling. 1t pays to grow the best,
| for that reason.
In nearly all cases animals in low
flesh are more liable to disease than
when in fine bodily condition, and it
costs more to keep them.
Thinning fruit is proving such an
advantage to the quality that the plan
is gaining ground everywhere. Better
prices for better fruit is the result.
Some fires have occurred from care
lessness in handling incubators ard
breeders. Possibly we might encase
the incubator, if in cellar, in light
framework covered with asbestos
paper. The latter is cheap and a sue
protection from overheating.
Barring all the differences that may
be in individual birds and strains, it
may be said that Wyandottes are now
considered to be among the very best
of all-purpose fowls. They are hardy,
active, good layers, good mothers and
Of good size and good table quality.
The world would do a bad job of
getting along without the grower of
live stock, and that same world ought
to be willing to remunerate him for his
labor and risks. Indeed, no class Of
people is Under any obligation to feed
and clothe another class without pay,
for it.
That bone has great value as a ration
for poultry, both for egg production
and for growth in chicks, is not a mat
ter of dispute. The fact is generally
recognized that in N other way can
eggs be produced more readily, or
growth made in young stock more
quickly than by the liberal use Of
cut bone In the ration.

Hogs In Orchards.

AS scavengers, or for consuming
refuse that cannot be marketed, hogs
are almost indispensable in an orchard.
The fattening Of hogs on apples may
be considered a successful method, it
being certain that this fruit possesses
a value for that purpose that has been
overlooked, and the destruction of in
sects by hogs in consuming the fallen
apples has given q new value to
orchards and will probably check
their destruction, which in some Sec
tons of the country has already pro-
crossed to a considerable extent. The
animal should be allowed in the
orchard from the time the fruit be-
gins to fall until it is time to gather
apples for the winter, and they will.
in most cases, be found in good condi-
ton for hardening with grain and
slaughtering, and the meat will be
tender and Of an excellent flavor.
When it is necessary to put them into
the pen, boiled apples mixed with a
small quantity Of corn, oats, peas or
buckwheat meal will make them fat
in a short time and fill the farmers
pork barrel with sound, sweet pork of
the first quality. u....;,H.

Cement Floors For Poultry Houses.

In the building Of new poultry
houses the question Of suitable floors
is always an interesting one, and it
must be admitted that the floor de-
ponds much on the nature Of the soil
and the climate. That is, in a mod
crate climate with the natural soil Of
q decidedly sandy nature, we would
not hesitate to depend upon the
earthen floor covered with more or less
gravel, provided it was enough higher
than the surface Of the surrounding
soil to prevent any surface water run
ming in the house, and also that it be
kept we'll covered with straw or chaff
particularly in cold weather. The floor
of boards is not Objectionable, provided
this, too, is arranged so that it will
not get damp and so that it Is covered
with straw. The cement floor has
many things in its favor, provided it
is properly laid, but here is just where
the trouble is. A cement floor laid so
that it is damp most of the time is
worse than a damp board or earthen
floor simply because twill not dry cut
as quickly. If properly laid it will
probably be satisfactory, but under
ordinary conditions we would prefer
either the board or earthen floor with
the average poultry keeper.

Plan of the Memorial to Be Built
at Canton.

AT Canton.
The accompanying picture shows the
design accepted by the Mckinley Ma
tional Memorial Association for the
monument to be erected at Canton,
Ohio, President McKinley's home. The
contract for its erection has been
awarded and the association has co..
lected $500, 900 to pay all expenses of
the work.
The association has purchased about
twenty-five acres of land adjoining
WeStlawn Cemetery in the western
portion Of Canton. Ohio, including a
mound some seventy feet in height.
Upon this will be built n mausoleum Of
pink Milford granite, circular in form,
s~eventy-fve feet in diameter at the
base, and about 100 feet in height from
the foundation.
This structure will be reached by a
flight Of approach steps fifty feet in
width, in four runs. with wide land
ings between, constituting q rise of
6fty-fve feet in all. The hill will be
terraced to conform with the landings
on the staircase, presenting on the
whole a terraced mound s%urmOunted
by the structure proper.
At the base of the staircase will be
built a plaza 200 feet in width. The
main approach will be a mall about
1000 feet in length, ITO feet in width,
with a waterway in the centre, and on
either side a double row of trees paral-
leling d~riveways.

To Keep Meat In Summer.

My way of keeping pork through the
summer season, says Louis Campbell,
of PennsvilIe, Ohio: I smoke it well as
early in spring as I can and usually
market all side meat as early as posi-
BILE. After I have it nicely smoked
take it from the smoke house and hang
it on stout nails around the sides of q
garner in my wheat granary. 1 just
hang it up without anything over 1t,
being careful to let one piece hang SO
as not to touch another. I keep the
granary dark so as to keep out all
flies. 7 have tried this plan for sew
eral years and have never yet had
any trouble from flies or other causes.

The interior of the mausoleum will
be circular and finished in light gray
Knoxville marble. Excepting the door
way there will be nc opening but that
through the crown of the dome. In the
centre of this mortuary chamber will
be the sarcophagi, so designed that
they appear as two in one. They are
