CIsTEnN FILTER.

ployed are failures in that they permit
too much foreign matter to be carried
into the cistern to decay and become
filthy.
So from knowledge gained from ac-
tual experience l decided that the
proper thing would be to keep the
dirt out of the cistern, where it can
be removed; to have a filter that can
be renewed easily and without dis
turbing the water in the cistern. So
made an experiment which has
proved success. In digging a els
tern dig deep in the ground and arch
well underground, closing in arch to
receive a two foot sewer tile to form
neck, which can easily be closed
against insects and toads. BY the side
of the big cistern dig little filterlng
cistern, one that win hold from twelve
to fifteen barrels. Wall, arch and ce-
ment same as large cistern, except IN
the center of the bottom, which should
be slightly basin shaped; dig and ce-
ment hole large enough and deep
enough to receive a bucket that will
Lola five or six gallons or more. Have
the bottom of the bucket perforated
with small holes. Have a strong bail
to the bucket by which to lift it out.
Have a strong flange around the out
side close to the top as can be TO rest
tight on the bottom Of filtering cistern
around the top of the hole. Can make
water tight by resting lange on pack
ing If bucket Is not good and strong
It will be well to place rest under the
bottom. as there will DE a very heavy
pressure on Il when the filtering els
tern is full. From the bottom Of the
hole under the bucket connect filter
with cistern by means Of three inch
sewer tile thoroughly cemented In.
Fill the bucket with pounded brick,
charcoal or slate packed in clean wash
ed sand; it can be made to run through
very slowly. thoroughly straining the
water After packing bucket and be-
fore setting II IN hole run water
through to wash all sediment out.

Rrenkinr the Colts

Handle the colts as much as possible
while quite young. The time to begin
to break q foal is as soon as it is born.
If colt is handled from birth IL is far
less difficult to break it to work later
on than IL allowed to run wild. 4 colt
should be halter broken by the time It
is a month old and should by that time
be on such intimate terms with man.
kind as to allow its legs TO be handled
freely, says the Farmers Advocate. To
teach a horse to be driven that has
been handled from birth is so easy
compared TO breaking an unhandled
colt that 1t is almost play. 1t is much
easier to teach a suckli colt to lead
or drive than 1t is wind. strong colt
Of two, three or four years of age.
Broken thus early, he will always be
more trustworthy than if broken at the
latter age.

AFTER HARVEST.
of Saving Nitrogen In
the Soil.

Importance of Saving Nitrogen In
the Soil.
One thing we feel inclined to talk
about every year is the mistake of let
ting cornfelds or other cultivated
ground remain bare through the fall
and winter. A considerable loss Of
nitrogen results from this practice
After the summer crop is taken off the
processes Of nitrifcation go on In the
soil, especially if stable manure has
been used. Notification means the
process by which nitrogen is made
soluble or available. When made over
into this form it is quite easily wash
ed out of the soil and lost. When soil
is left bare after harvest considerable
loss Will occur in this way, but when
some living crop is growing on the
ground this new crop will obtain most
of the nitrogen and save it for US
This nitrogen problem is the most i'm
portant thing on our farms. We must
buy it in one form or another, and 1t is
constantly struggling to get away from
us. 1t is the part of good farming to
capture and save all we can. If moth
ing else can be done, sow rye on all
bare lands. If you cannot pillow, har-
row and seed. There are some excep-
lions to this. One is where the sod is
filed with white grubs. In that case
it as better not to seed, but to pillow
and keep the surface well stirred
through fall and early In spring. The
constant cultivation is the best method
of fighting these insects,-Rural New
Yorker

SlLAGE FOR SHEEP.
Opinions of Feeders Do Not Agree.
How 1t = Used


a sheep grower of indiana has the
following to say in the Indiana Farm
er in regard to the use of silage:
"Some sheep growers are enthusi-
astie in their praises # corn silage as
food for sheep. On the other hand.
large number do not think so well OF
IT, All those who have tried it have
agreed with reference to the wisdom of
feeding moderate quantity to the
flock when the silage has been prop
erly cured. On the other hand. quite
u number have found trouble when
feeding it in large quantities. On the
whole. IL is not to be considered as sat
isfactOry food for sheep as field roots.
since. more especially when there is
much corn in the silage, 1t has a
tendency to produce n heated condi-
ton OF the system. which with breed
ing ewes is not desirable. 1t Is not
well perhaps to feed corn silage to
breeding flock more than once day,
and when 50 fed the aim should be to
give them clover hay or alfalfa at
least once a day in order to produce a
proper balance in the ration. In cold
weather it is probably wiser to feed
the silage at noon than morning or
night When exposed to such weather
for only a few minutes the tempera-
ture as cool as is frequently found in
sheep sheds will freeze more or less,
or If 1t does not freeze 1t becomes very
cold. FoI this reason It is better to
feed 1t in the middle of the day in
cold weather. for at that time the tenn
nerature is usually many degrees
warmer than in the morning or even
ing 1t is not common to feed more
than two to four pounds of silage per
head per day to sheep, but some farm
ers who grow winter lambs feed as
much as that twice a day more espe-
cially after the lambs have been born.
A great advantage of silage as n food
for sheep consists In its cheapness. 1t
furnishes the cheapest food that may
be fed to them, and when properly fed
there should be no fear of hurtful re-
suits from feeding silage well made"

ner at several state fairs, including
New York. In some places these ami
mails are known as Jefferson county
swine and are said to have originated
In New York, In the county by that
name. 1t is stated by some that they
started from a pair os pigs brought
from Albany, n. Y. thai were called
Cheshires. As there is no distinct
breed Of hogs in England known by
this name and as there are no authen-
tic records of importations into this
country under that name, there is rea-
son to believe that the so called Chesh-
Tres have been improved by cross
ing with Yorkshires brought In from
Canada and elsewhere. Cheshires are
white. with small, erect ears. long,
broad, deep bodies. broad hams and
nearly straight backs. At maturity
they dress from 400 to COO pounds.

THE BROOD
SOW TO KEEP

1t is not enough that the brood SOW
be of the proper conformation physical
ly. 1t is equally important that she be
of the proper conformation mentally
and morally, If we may be permitted
to use such term with reference to
brood sow. In short: Is she a good
mother? Is she level headed? Is she
kind in her disposition? Does she
know how to take care OF her pigs?
Or is she one of those hysterical, fret
full, Ill natured creatures that are I'M
fit for the duties of motherhood? If
the latter, no matter how good locker
she may be, send her to the fattening
pen. Get all the meat on her that you
can conveniently and then let her go.
Again, no matter how good her con-
formation or how many pigs she may
have to the litter or how good her dis
position may be, Is she good sucker?
Does she belong to the milking type?
Tor there is milking type in brood
sows as well gs in cows. If she has
this with all t1e other qualifications,
then keep her, no matter how tempting
the price may be which the feed lot
offers or some neighbor A brood SOW
of this type is worth two or three of
equal weight and equally endowed
with good looks, but lacking In milk
ing, mental and moral qualities. There
fore, first look over your brood sows
and see how many are to go to the left
into the feed pen and how many are
to go to the right and be permitted the
honor and privilege of furnishing the
pigs for the next year.
In selecting youngsters it is well to
reject all from filters that came small.
say three or four Select from litters
of seven or eight good, healthy pigs
that have proved by their growth that
they have been well nourished by good
milking dams. They are quite likely to
inherit her milking qualities as well as
her disposition and conformation. Re
ject unqualifiedly all candidates for
future honors that come from uneven
filters, and reject any that show

Wise Girl.

Now, there was a certain girl, and
she had three wooers. The first wooer
said she was the whole world to him,
but she frowned upon his suit. The
second wooer said she was the sun,
moon and stars to him, but she babe
him be on his way.
"To me-" said the third, you are a
young woman Of agreeable manners,
with eyes that might be a little bluer,
with a nose that is a wee bit PIGGY
and with a few freckles and an annoy
ing habit Of hurting out your
thoughts"
She married the third wooer. Being
pressed for an explanation Of her con-
duct, she said:
'My goodness! think I was sensi-
BILE. I married the only one that had
courage enough to tell me of my faults
before marriage, instead Of waiting 20
throw them up to me afterward."-

Slashfng of Salads.

Too many people who are well bred
in nearly every other respect are guilty
Of the solecism-to call 1t by the mild
est name-of cutting up their salad on
the plate. OF course salad has some
times to be reduced TO lower dinner
sions, so to speak, but 1t need not be
done by the wholesale or quite In the
businesslike fashion practiced by
some. Grasping q knife In one hand
and fork in the other, they slash
away at the inoffensive green stuff
with a vigor and noise Of miniature
moving machine until the bruised
leaves are converted into shreds of
their former selves. THERE'S common
sense in the convention that prohibits
such course. Nearly all green salads
are broken into pieces OF convenient
size before sending to the table. Even
when these are too large the leaf
should be quietly divided with fork.
