The Barn Lantern.

Lanterns are undoubtedly the safest
things to use in the barn, and If they
are hung properly and protected as
indicated here there will be little or no
danger from fire. Take piece Of inch
board and from it cut circle twelve
inches in diameter; then buy piece
Of galvanized wire netting fifteen inch
es wide and four feet long. then a
piece of bright new tin eighteen inches
square, a hook with fiat end, SO 1t
can be screwed to the wall. Then build
shelf fifteen inches wide and twen-
ty inches long. Nail the shelf in a
convenient location in the barn, then
on the wall back of the shelf nail the
piece of tin which acts as reflector
as we'll as protects the wall.
Fasten the hook on the wall above
the tin. Then make cylinder by nail
ing the wire to the edge Of the circular

Finishing on COops.

One Of the economics in the poultry
business is to have coops which may
be used for any desired purpose with
out making 1t necessary to in any way
subdivide the main poultry house.
Coops for sick fowls, coops for the
ROSTERS, coops for the broody hen and
coops to finish off the birds which are
to 60 to market later. One Of the best
designs for the latter purpose can be
built on the sunny side Of the barn OF

Every one knows that when seed
potatoes are allowed to sprout and the
sprouts are broken off, as they often
are when the potatoes are kept in a
dark cellar, the tuber is perceptibly
weakened, the yield lessened and the
ripening retarded. The best way to
keep seed potatoes is in cold storage.
1t is important that the temperature
should never fall below IS degrees,
nor should 1t rise much above 40 de.
grees. In a press circular sent out by
the Ohio station 1t is advised that the
seed potatoes should be shoveled over
frequently, as this prevents sprout-
ing to certain extent where cold
storage Is not available. Planters are
reminded, however, that under certain
conditions this sprouting process may
be used to advance the early ripening
Of the crop. If the tubers are placed
stem end down In single layers in
shallow trays in q slight and moder-
ately warm room, they will send out
short, stubby green sprouts, which
will remain In that condition for
weeks, and II the potatoes are then
planted without breaking the sprouts
they viii start immediately.

Practical Gate Fastener.

A swing gate is somewhat Of null
sance, unless it is arranged with a
fastener that will act as desired. The
idea illustrated is simple one, as
will be seen. Take strip of one by
four material and cut it Of convenient
length, as shown at figure 1. 1t must
however, be long enough to extend be-
yond the cross bar d and the upright
piece at Figure 2, both of which pieces
are double-that is, one on either side
Of the gate. Two iron pieces (b) are
bolted to the boards 1 and 4, as shown,
The fastener works in this manner:
To unfasten, pull the board 1 to the
left, which raises the end opposite 1 on
account of the placing of b, and when

piece of board, lacing the ends of the
wire together with stout Irvine. Set
this on the shelf and slip the lantern
inside of it, hanging the bale of the
lantern on the hook. The wire cylin-
der protects the lantern yet does not
shut off much light and by having the
hook curved there will be little danger
Of the lantern falling, even under quite
a hard blow. The illustration shows
all of the details for constructing this
arrangement.-Indi News.

Just the day the fowls are brought
into the house and confined to the run

trouble to look into the matter. It
must be understood, however, that ami
NAL food does not mean anything in
the shape of meat one can get. There
are plenty Of meat scrapes on the
market that are good enough for fer
tiizer, but decidedly not of value for
feeding poultry. If one can arrange
with the local butcher to supply what
meat is wanted for the fowls he will
have no trouble provided he buys meat
that is not tainted and does not lay in
a supply too large. Green bone an

The Value of Systematic Accounts.
Too few housewives recognize the
importance of accurate account keep
ing, yet by such means alone can the
current expenses be noted, 80 az to
keep them within the family income.

has been undue extravaganza In any

Regular daily entries are necessary
to insure accuracy. If entries are de-
ferred a day or two the exact details
are forgotten, and either many things
are entered as sundries or a trife Is
added here and there to make the to
tails balance, and SO all the accounts
are worthless.
In order that a house mistress may
plan her expenditure wisely she should
have a regular allowance, paid week
~ or monthly. The amount Is some
times proportioned to the number Of
members forming the household. The
rent Is usually calculated to be moi
less than one-eighth nor more thar
one-fifth of the income.
A certain proportion is wisely Sci
aside for emergencies and unforeseen
contingencies, or fire insurance, ant

done by bandaging it up tight. It

able swelling will set in; this should
be reduced either by applying cold wa
ter frequently, or, what is really bet
ter, applying pure kerosene oil, not
only to the wound, but also to the
swollen parts. No bandage should be
kept on where kerosene is used, as II
will then cause the hair to fall of tenn

do so, the sore should be carefully
washed with soft water and CASTLE
soap. This ought to be repeated daily
until the sore heals. One of the best
healing medicines for horse1esh that
l have ever used can be put up at any
drug store, as follows: One-half pint
Of alcohol; one-half pint Of spirits Of
turpentine; ounce Of pure glycerinei
mix all together in large bottle and
shake well before using. Apply only
with a feather at morning and night
The sore should never be bandaged
By daily washing it will in this way
heal up very rapidly. I can person

simple remedy, as we have made use
Of it in numerous cases, with the best
results, where every other remedy We
tried failed to hear up the sore on the

Mr.. See is one of the few remaining
early day California miners. In 1850
in company with a large number of
other fortune seekers, he left st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, for the gold fields Of the
far away Pacific slopes. They expert
enced the usual vicissitudes in cross
ing the plains but he arrived safely
and spent ten years in what is now
central California, working several
placer locations. Unlike the larger
number Of those old timers, Mr.. See
candidly admits that he was not lucky
and finally drifted back to Missouri
He remained there for four years,
however, and then, with his wife, once
mora left ST. Joe with an emigrant
party but headed this time for Mon

and landed in Virginia City August

all of their horses to thieving redskins.
Mr.. See remained in Virginia City
until the spring of '65 when he moxed
into Last Chance gulch Helena not
yet having been named when he got
there. He followed mining with in
different success until the next year
when he moved over to the Bitter
Root valley, took up 320 acres of land
and purchased about that much more
and entered into the stock raising and
ranching business. For several years,
his nearest trading point was Helena
but along in the seventies, that part
OF the state commenced to be settled
up and Missoula furnished a market.

ed with Lewistown and Fergus county
is putting it mildly.
Il can say in all truthfulness," said
Mr.. See to the Democrat, that this Is
decidedly the best country ! have ev-
er seen. 1t does not take one. long to
see the wonderful resources of the
county and ii is wonder tn me that
the county has not been more rapid,
developed. The only reason that car
assign for this apparent backward.
ness is the fact that you have been
more or less isolated, none of the large
railroad lines touching the county.
Your soil here cannot be eaualled
for the growing of grain and you have
only began the development of that
very important resource. In my opini-
on, there will, within "a very short time
be 100 acres of grain, growing where
lhefe is now one.
The soil on your bench lands re-
minds me strongly Of the soil in the
great wheat raising states of Missouri
and Kansas, and so far as moisture Is
concerned, l am sure that as soon as
the ground is broken and the moisture
properly preserved, there will be very
seldom crop failures from that source
The immensely of your ranchinp
country is striking. We have a great
valley over in the Bitter Root but you
could set the entire Bitter Root valley
down here in Fergus county and 1t
would cover but very small fraction
Of the first class agricultural land. l
predict that within ten years, il not
sooner, there will be millions OF BUSH
els of wheat exported from Fergus
county. The market for that great
commodity is constantly growing and
with two railroads running through
the county you can send your wheat
to the best market, whether 1t be to
the Pacific or the Atlantic coast, ana
that means money for the settlers who
take advantage Of this splendid op-
portunity."
Mr.. See is equally optimistic concern
ing the future of Lewistown.
You have as good a town here as
nave ever seen anl it strikes me that
no town in the state has brighter
chances for growth and development
The building UP of surrounding viii
lages and towns will only result in
benefit to Lewistown. Your water
power is an especially advantageous
feature. The day is not far distant
when you will have some good factor
les. brought here by the splendid
water power"
Mr.. See. who, by the way, is well
fixed financially, will more than likely
show his faith in a substantial manner
by investing in some city and ranch
property before he returns to the Bit
ter Root.
