by timbers bolted together near the
top, carrying the track under their in
terSection. The track is placed so that
it is slightly down grade from the
barn to the place where the manure is
dumped, so that the bucket runs out
by, it's own weight when loaded.
A rope is attached to the running
device to pull the bucket back into the
barn. A cord is also attached to the
bottom of the bucket which by pull
ing will cause the bottom to drop and
allow the manure to fall out. Between
the track running device and the buck
ct there is pulley supplied with ropes
which will allow the bucket to be rails
ed and lowered. The bucket can be let
down upon the floor, loaded and then
pulled up ready to; run out and be
emptied. An economical way to dis
pose of the manure is to have wagon
so placed that the manure can be dump
ed into it and hauled directly to the
field. Better still, if the farmer has 4
spreader it can be placed to receive tie
manure and can then lie spread upon
nomically and easily. It also saves
much of the disagreeable part Of ma
nure handling. The bucket need not
be touched after it is loaded in the
barn. This device is in use. on west

Stevens and MAYNARD.

Thaddeus Stevens was once cp-
posed in debate by Horace Maynard
of Tennessee. Maynard was very
tall and straight and had long black
hair, which he wore well down over
his coat collar, and which gave E:m
somewhat the appearance Of an In
dian. It was even rumored that he
had some aboriginal blood in his
veins. Maynard prided himself on
his scholarly attainments, and at
the close of his address he quoted
one or two Latin verses. Old Thad
replied to Maynard's argument IN
his usual vigorous manner and then
paused for a few seconds until he
had secured the attention of the en-
tire house. Turning to Maynard,
who sat some distance behind him,
he delivered this parting shot: $50
much for the gentleman's English.

Mr.. Stockton's Chickens.

When Frank Stockton started out
with his Rudder Grange experiences
he undertook to keep chickens.
One old motherly Plymouth Rock
brought out brood late in the fall
and Stockton gave her good deal
of his attention. He named each OF
the chicks after some literary friend,
among the rest Mary Mapes Dodge.
Mrs. DODGE was visiting the farm
some time later, and, happening 70
think of her namesake, she said:
SBy the way, Frank, how does 1t
tie Mary Mapes Dodge get along%
The funny thing about little
Mary Mapes Dodge, said he, S'is
that she turns out to be Thomas Bal

KEEPING THE
SWINE HEALTHY

There are farmers in some sections
with whom the question of primary
Importance in hog raising is not OF
breeds and feeds. but of ways and
means to keep The animals alive AMI
healthy With then swine raising
would be quite profitable could they be
sure that the mortality could be eiim!-
mated; but, not succeeding in this. theg-
have turned their attention . so2is'

The hog that is doing well uctj the
part of a hog from the point Of his
snout TO the tip of his tail, and. espe-
cia!ly is this true at feeding time. On
the other hand, the hog that is off, is
Indifferent in his movements. This fact
is pictured il his slower gait. his re-
IaSed muscles and his disposition to
stand out Of the way. He does not eat
as Il the taking Of food is the supreme
end of his existence This is the time
when the hog raiser should do some
thinking to determine if possible what
is the cause of the trouble and not de
lay action till the hog has moped a
week or two or AFTER several other ami
mails are in the same condition.
At the first change Of feed and 10
cation should be given. Fresh and

THE USEFUL HOG.
That Is the Kind the Successful
Breeder Is Raising.

That Is the Kind the Successful
Breeder Is Raising.
The right kind of hog does not mean
some particular breed more than an
other, nor does it mean nee eSsarily the
hog that will score high IL the show
ring. 1t certainly does nCt iaean the
old woods hog. 1t means the i.og that
for long years has been in the hands
Of the men whose breeding aspires to
something really useful from the dollar
standpoint nor do I believe that so
leaG as common sense usefulness is
the aim there is any danger of ''breed-
Ing too high" But we are prone to
fly OF at a tangent and become cranks
on trif1es that mean almost nothing.
It is not of any great Importance
whether the hog wears black or white
or red hair, whether his ears hang
down or stick up or whether he has a
swirl on his back or combs his hair
straight What we want first Of oil is
the hog with constitution and vitality,
and any system Of breeding, inbreed-
ing, outbreeding, straight, crooked or
crosSwiSe that weakenS the constitu-
ton and lowers the vitality, that's the
kind we can't stand for any great
length Of time
Nor do we pork growers need to get
up in the night to pine for hogs bred
In the purple 1t is of 40 great in
terest to us whether the great-grand
sire Of our pigs sold for $5 or $500.
Our interest centers mainly around
this one question: How many pounds
of hog will he make from bushel of
corn or a dollars worth of mill feed !?
Of course we all admire the good look
ing hog, and there is no reason why
good looks should not go with good
qualities. But neither good looks nor
anything else must stand for one mo-
ment in the way of the production of
the really useful hog-the hog that
pays the interest on the mortgage, If
there be one, and finally wipes out the
mortgage itself; the hog that builds a
new barn, puts up q new house and
pays the taxes; the hog that buys new
dresses for the girls, new suits for the
boys and educates them both at school.
And even the pig fancier who departs
very far from this idea will make a
mistake for the pork grower is the
court Of final resort To be successful
he must have this really useful, COM
mon sense hog, and in order to get him
he will always waive any little prefer
ence he may have for some particular
color of hair or droop in the ear or
kink in the tail.-J. Al Dobie in Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer.

Horses Feet,

An English live stock journal re-
marks that large, broad foot, ap-
preaching to roundness, is no indica-
tion of strength and durability of the
hoof-rather sign of weakness, as
tending to become fat soled. When
seen in q horse used for riding or driv-
ing it may be taken as a rule to be a
sign of common or coarse blood in one
Of his near ancestors, and that he him
self has probably inherited their slug
gish temperament as we'll as foot con-
formation. The wall Of the hoof should
not bulge out too much at the side. It
should be Of graduated oval shape and
not round. There is popular opinion
that, while dark hoofs are inclined to
be brittle, white hoofs are inclined to
be soft. High authorities believe the
opinion has no foundation in fact.
What has the presence Of pigment or
absence of it in the hairs which sur
round the coronet to do with the dura-
bility Of the horn, Of which it is con-
tinuation?

The manure carrier shown herewith
Is a very efficient one. 1t is used in this
case for carrying the manure from q

bucket with the bottom hinged and
fastened to the bucket, when closed,
with a spring snap. The bucket is car
ried in and out of the barn on a track
which is placed so that when the doors
are closed it leaves a very small open
ing around the track. The track is

Winter Pasrurax-.

, AS to the growing season, bur clover
commences just about when the Ber-
muda pasture fails. The two plants
can be used in combination with great
success. The Bermuda sod should be
scarified with disk or cutaway har-
row in October and the seed .sow1i

Bermuda sod, furnishing winter pas
turage, and will ripen its seed and dis
appear fn the spring about the time
the Bermuda begins to grow well. Il
will reseed itself In the Bermuda sod
as well as on open land if the seed
be allowed to form during the spring.
In order to secure the growth from
the seed the next fau it will be neces-
sary to again scarify the land as when
the. seed was originally planted This
gives the seed chance to get down

and quarters is beneficial to pigs at
any time. If the pig refuses to eat
altogether he should be put in a clean
house OF piS. hospital, as some call it,
ard offered some sweet milk If he
does not take it catch him and pour
down small quantity of milk fresh
from the COW. Usually he will eat Il
mush made from middlings and sweet
milk to which Il little salt has been
added. 1t is stated that S5 per cent
of the diseases of humanity can be
cured by little nursing and dieting,
so l apprehend the same is true of
hogs. 1t should be considered that
rapid growing pigs sometimes have
disorders resembling those in children,
but which disappear at maturity. For
such: troubles we administer a little
turpentine, from four to ten drops,
mixed with a spoonful or two Of fresh
milk. Now 1 do not know in what
esteem turpentine is held by the pro-
fession, but l know that it is used by
several successful swinemesl. and am
confident that, we have saved dozens
of pigs by it's use. If pig refuses to
eat for twentyfeur hours he is given a
little turpentine once or twice a day.
At the same time we sprinkle a little
turpentine on the grain given to the
rest of the hogs for the sake of preven-
tion. ~
! They seem to come to all hogs, and
I'VE should be ready to combat them.
They are lice, and worms. The man
who never does anything to keep away,
lice believe is losing money. Wheth-
er you have a dipping plant or not
there should be some provision for ap-
plying a disinfectant by spraying or
sprinkling We use a cheap quality of
kerosene, and apply kerry: lightly, but
often. Other liquids may be better,
but the kerosene is useful for many
things, and it Is always ready. We
have'a five gallon can for Oil for the
stock and poultry 1t il good to apply
a few drops to, the feed, which serves
q purpose similar to that of the eXter
nal application. This seems to be an
effective remedy for the coughs COM
mon among hogs. For worms we give
turpentine mixed with the feed. The
proper use of these liquids. writes
Robert L. Dean in National Stockman
and Farmer. requires that they be ad-
ministered frequently and in small
quantities.
Many breeders Of swine are having
great success in raising the hardy
Tamworth. They have many strong
points to recommend them. They are
remarkable for heatiness Of constitu-
ton. great prolificacy and their Won
derful success in rearing every pig
born. The Tamworth natures early,
Is active and wideawake and is at ma
turity the largest breed of swine.

STABLING DAIRY: COWS.
Some Advantages of the Covered
Yard System.

Some Advantages of the Covered
Yard System. :
4 new scheme for stabling dairy
cows has been suggested by Professor
Eff Of the dairy Department Of the
Kansas State Agricultural college. A
covered yard plan consists Of building
q cheap structure and allowing the
COWS to run loose in the stable. In
other words, it is merely a covered
yard, with some cheap roofing material,
closed in On all sides. On one end of
this yard is z milking stable, into which
the COWS are driven to be MIXED every
night and morning. They are fed their
grain rations while being MIXED. The
roughage is fed in the covered yard
proper.
Advantsg ges of the Method.
The advantages of this method of
stahling are enumerated as follows:
First-Cheapness; no stalls, no eN-
pensive building and no cement floors
are required, except those that are in
the milking stable.
Second.-This covered yard is bedded
daily. 1t has the advantage Of making
the greatset amount of the best ma
nure of any plan that may be devised.
The stable is cleaned out at such time
as to allow the manure to be hauled di-
rectly from the stable to the field. Thus
nothing is lost in the way Of fertility.
Third.-Cows are more comfortable
In such a stable than in stalls.
Fourth.-With plenty Of bedding the
COWS can be kept cleaner.
Fifth.-It saves labor to clean out
the stable every day.
Sixth-All that it is necessary to
keep scrupulously clean is the milking
stable, which is but small part Of thc

THE PARIS POST.
A Misdireeted Letter and a Tanale Of
Red Tape.

A young Englishwoman visiting
IN Paris received a note from a
friend saying that tickets had been
sent by an earlier post for a concert
to take place that afternoon, but by
error a wrong street number was
written on the envelope. This, said
her correspondent, might make q
delay in ihe arrival of the Letter,
and it would be well to make in
quiries at once at the post of the
nearest division.
Arriving at the postoGice Of ou1
quarter, ] made known my errand
to three young gentiemeh4in success
sion. The last young: -gehtleh3an
took out long paper and demanded
peremptorily my name, age, address
and birthplace. He was proceeding
to that Of my father aid mother
when I suggested that all this sinf6r.
nation, although doubtless.of thriIl
ing interest to the postnfiee, could
scarcely assist in restoring, my Lost
letter.. which contained tickets,sl
must positively have before j. !
o'clock that dav. }.... 80.
"Ha, It is then of letter lostp'
he cried, as though suddenly illu;
minated. = :
"Well, misdirected, as I have al
ready explained to three persons
here"
sBut it is not here where one
brings the letters which find them
selves badly directed. Those letters
are united in another department
of the great post. This document
here"- pointed to my biogra-
phy-"the chief of my department
will dispatch to the great post. One
will make a communication to you
as soon as. traces of the letter are
discovered"
twas 80 when'I reached the
great post, and I was sent to five
different departments before arriv-
ing at the one for nisdirected let
ters. Feeling both snubbed and Ill
used, I inquired whether before we
proceeded to fill in more forms this
monsieur would kindly tell me
whether there was the remotest
chance of recovering the letter that
day before 2 o'clock.
|Today! This day itself!' he
cried in shrill Indignation. ''Par-
bleu, but you imagine to yourself,
then, madam, that the post con-
ducts itself like an automobile!"
Il hoped that since my letter is
actually here in this depart
ment-that one could place the
hand. on. it in the course of two
hours. In England" I continued,
with a fine outburst of patriotism,
eve have such a perfectly organized
system that l should have the letter
I required in ten minutes"
'Remind yourself that England
is, after all, but an island. Here we
are in France''-he threw back his
head proudly "and here things
march not SO quickly. 1t will per
haps be fifteen days before your
case comes up. Each must proceed
in turn"
ssThen it is useless to 60 into the

depression turned away. - - E1-

Germs In the Dairy.

The conditions most suited to the
growth Of germs are food, warmth and
moisture. Milk furnishes the required
food for their growth, Bacteria are es-
pecially numerous in and around d
dairy and get into the milk in many
ways. Thousands Of them. are con-
cealed in crevices that can barely be
seen, and if they come in contact with
milk they will increase many thousand
fold within short time and set up bad
fermentations, which are familiar to
all vdairymen. = Kansas Experiment
