THE FARM TooLsHoP.

1t is the exception, rather than the
rule, to find a shop as branch OF
farm work nowadays. We run to the
store for any little thing We want,
pay two prices for it and lose valu-
able time. Our fathers had all Of the
small tools in the shop and could
make any repairs not of serious
nature on any tool or appliance Of the
farm and do it quickly and inexpen-
sively. Our hired help are kept busy
on rainy days going over tools and
wagons, painting and repairing. II
the harness breaks there are waxed
ends Of thread ready for use or some
rivets to repair larger breaks.
The shop contains small anvil
and wise as well as a wooden clamp
in which to hold the ends of leather
when sewing them. Nails. screws.
bolts, hinges and the like are kept In
small numbers, but in various sizes.
Oils, monkey wrenches, chisels, ham
mers and the like are always there
and we are prepared for any small
trouble. A very small corner Of the
barn is large enough for the shop, and
1t will pay to begin now to fit UP
such a place, adding tools as one can.

WHAT PURE MILK MEANS.

Many dairymen are complaining
that they can not get an increased
price for their milk, the same beggar-
ly sum year after year, while certain
dairy concerns are selling certified
milk at prices which seem very high
Our friends do not consider that in
order to produce the milk that will
pass inspection many things are re-
quired which the average dairyman
utterly ignores. The rules governing
inspected or certified milk in many
States are too lengthy to give here,
but the one item of the care of stables
as required by the law of the State
Of New York, which is similar to
the law in other States, will interest
the dairymen. The ventilation must
be sufficient so that the barn shall
be light and the air never close. The
flooring shall be Of wood or cement.
The ceiling shall be tight if there
is a loft above that is used. Basins,
hand brushes, clean water, soap and
clean towels shall be provided in the
barn or adjacent dairy room. The
stable shall be whitewashed in the
fall and the spring, if necessary. A
sufficient number of lanterns shall be
provided to permit the milking to be
provided to permit the milking to be
carried on properly. Clean the cell
ings and sidings once a month. The
bedding shall be shavings, sawdust,
dried leaves, cut straw or other ma
terial that meets with the approval
of the commission. The soiled bed
ding must be removed daily. The
manure must be removed daily from
the stalls and open manure gutter. II
a covered manure gutter is used, 1t
must be kept in a sanitary condition.
II your dairy is run ON this line,
reader, so far as the stables are con-
cerned, you would be in line to mar
ket certified milk, because you would
be willing to meet the other require
ments.-Indianapcl News.

SICILIAN FOWLS.

The Sicilian chickens as the
name signifies, are from the island of
Sicily. They were first brought to
the United States, about 1863, by Cep-
has Dawes of Dedham, Mass, who
was a sea captain. Captain Dawes had,
a cargo of oranges, raisins and figs
destined for America and took on
board coop of these chickens as a
supply of fresh meat during the voy-
age. The hens laid so many eggs,
and large ones, that it was decided
not to kill them; so he took them to
his home. One of his neighbors, G..
Carroll Loring, Dedham, Mass. OBJ
served the excellent laying qualities
of the fowls and secured some of
the stock for himself, and he has
preserved the stock pure all these
years.
Only one other Importation has
been made, so far as any available
records show, and that one was by
John B. Cough, the late well known
temperance lecturer, whose home was
at Worcester, Mass.
The male is described by Mr.. Lor-
ing as of a reddish butter color with
neck hackle a little darker. The
comb. is in the shape of a cap, and
this form, together with the color
caused Mr.. Loring to give to them the
local name of Buttercup. The females
are laced somewhat on the back and
are lighter in colcr than the males.
The mature males weigh from 51s
to tx pounds, and the females from
Az to six pounds. The dressed fowl
is plump and very yellow.
The Sicilian is of quiet DISPOSE
ton, yet vigorous and always busy.
They are very prolific, and the eggs
sre said to be exceptionally large and
beautifully white. The advocates OF
This breed believe it can, by proper
selection in breeding, soon be made

year. It has already considerably ex-
ceeded the two4hundred mark.
It is also claimed for this breed
they are non-sitters, which means
that they are not much inclined to sit.

FEEDING AND LAYING.

The best of feed sometimes fails to
induce the hens to lay. This is not
because the fowls do not ge' cough,
but because it is not the kind they
desire. 1t may be feed consisting OF
everything that serves to satisfy the
demand for egg material, and yet no
eggs will be the result. There are
several causes for this. one of the
principal being the fact that plenti-
full supply of fresh water is not al
ways within reach, and unless water
is plentiful the fowls will not lay
Water being the principal substance
In an egg, it cannot be limited. And
in cold weather 1t must be situated so
as to be either protected from freeZ-
ing or else have a little hot water
adde occasionally. Now this is trou-
blesome job in winter, but water will
freeze on cold days and consequently
is useless to the fowls when in a
frozen condition.
The feed, however, even when OF
the best quality, may not give salts
faction In that case, when no eggs
are being derived, change it entirely
for three or four days. Give some
thing entirely different in the morn
ing from that previously given, even
If inferior, but still give whole grains
at night in cold weather, for then
the fowls go on the roost early in
the evening and have to remain in
the coops until daylight, which Is
nearly thirteen hours, and SO long
period demands solid food in order to
Keep them warm during the long cold
nights. Whole corn and wheat is
best for them then, but in the morn
ings any kind of mixed soft food
makes good meal for change. The
changes can be made by using good
clover hay, STEPPED In warm water
after being chopped fine, slightly
sprinkled, with meal, and fed warm,
which will be very acceptable. A few
onions chopped fine will also be re-
lished. Parched ground oats or parch-
ed cracked corn is splendid change
of food for a few days from the ordi-
nary routine of every day. 1t stimu-
Yates them if warm, and is a good cor
rective of bowel complaints especial
ly II some of the grains are parched
until burned.-E D. s. in the Ameri-

Rye is very profitable crop ON the
Farm, both in its green and ripe
stages. The grain is good fed to the
poultry, about or 3 times per week,
and ground and fed to pigs. Three
