A Suggestion for Farmer Boys.

The opportunities for young men of
training and experience in agriculture
grow better each year. Scarcely
week passes that we do not have calls
for one or more young men who have
grown up on the farm and have had
some training in college Of agricul-
ture, to take positions of trust and
profit. The whole system of agricul-
ture in this country is being revolu-
tionized, and the men who understand
the fundamental principles upon which
the new agriculture is based are in con-
stant demand.
A young man should reflect well be-
fore deciding to throw away all the
valuable experience he has accumulat-
ed during his life on the farm and en-
ter some profession where his expert
ence will not be Of special value TO
him AS valuable. however, as this
experience is, no man should attempt
to rely upon it alone in his farming
operations. He should add TO this en-
perience at the very least short
course in agriculture.-H. j. Waters, in

A good point in a dairy COW is to
have the milking habit well estab-

Every unkind treatment to the COW
poisons the milk-even talking unlkind-

The sooner dairy tools are washed
after using, the more easily they will
be cleansed.
Milk separates best Immediately af-
ter being drawn from the cow, be-
fore it has had time to cool.
When butter is worked very dry the
grains of salt left in it are not dis
solved, but remain in a gritty condi-
tion.
A COW is largely influenced by train
ing and habi' and any change OF Gus

the milk flow.
The time to skim is when the milk
has soured just enough to be a little
thick at the bottom of the cans, and

The producer of dairy products
should aim TO please his consumers by
giving them pure goods; for the better
the product the more will be consumed.

that the attempt to work 1t out will re-

The Habits Of the Rabbit.

One morning after a light fall Of
snow during my walk through the
fields and woods, saw a rabbit track
and a mink track together. l follow
ed the trail TO see what had happened.
l had not gone far when ! discovered
tufts of rabbit fur upon the snow; a
few yards further and there were
drops of blood, the rabbits leaps grow
ing shorter and shorter, and in a few
moments ] came upon the half-de-
voured body of the rabbit lying in the
open. That the mink had run the
rabbit down and caught it was as plain
as the snow record could be. There
was no hiding under the snow by the
mink and not the least evidence that
the rabbit had been surprised. Rab-
bits see behind them quite as readily
as before, and no animal could steal
upon a moving rabbit at night and
not be seen.
And rabbits are always moving at
night. 1t is nocturnal animal. 1t
does not sit in its form all night to be
stalked by its enemies, or to be taken
by any sapping and mining process.
In daylight weasel might steal upon
it and seize it in its form, but not by
night. In my part of the country the
rabbit runs to hole in the winter and
passes the day there. The boys catch

a Ventilation Plan.

All farmers realize. or should realize
at least, that good ventilation in the
stock barns is as important as in
the dwelling house. The animals need
fresh, pure air as badly as human be
lngs do and will suffer as quickly from
the want of it. Therefore, the careful
and up to-date farmer will give no lit
tie attention to the matter Of thorough
barn ventilation. A writer in the Farm
Stock journal suggests the following
simple plan of ventilating the farm
buildings. 1t is practical and should
have attention:
In the rear of the mouse near one
corner build an air shaft, made by
joining at the edges four boards eight
inches wide. Set this into the ground
or fasten to the floor if of the boards
so that il will be firm. Have it open at
the top, of course, and make it three or
four feet high In the side next to the
wall of the building and about foot
up from the floor cut out piece so as
to have an opening the width of the
board and about six inches the other
way, and in the side of the building
opposite this hole in the shaft cut a
hole corresponding in size. Cover these
holes as well as the hole in the top of
the shaft with wire netting. so that
no bird or small animal can get in.
This is the shaft by which the air en-
ters the building. Then build another
shaft long enough to reach from about
eight inches to a foot from the floor UP
through the roof so that it will come
out through the roof foot or fifteen
inches. The TOP of this shaft must be
capped so that the opening will be pro-
tected from rain. The lower end is to
be covered with wire netting. Fasten
this firmly at the roof end and with
corner supports to the floor at the bot
tom.
The plan is simple, easy to construct
and works splendidly. 1t is particularly
good for ventilating poultry houses.

In our trip through a portion of
Butler County, Ohio, few weeks ago
we frequently noticed long piles of
limestone in irregular sized blocks
along the road side. They were gath.
cred on the hill sides and hauled there
by the farmers, to be crushed for re-
pairing the roads. After the thrashing
is finished the traction engines are
hired -os run the crushers. and these
long piles of stone are soon put in
shape to.keep up the fine roads that
are so common throughout the Miami
valley.
There are many sections of this
State where stone is as abundant as in
that section and where the same plan
for road Improvement ought TO be
adapted. Professor Blatchley, our
State Geologist, in his next report will
give much attention TO the road max
ing materials Of the State, and he
will give his preference for crushed
stone. He says:
my experience has been that. in
the long run, the crushed stone road,
If properly made, is far superior to
the gravel road. The stone road wears
down more evenly, and will outlast
the best of gravel roads. That is, al.
ways, of course. If the stone road is
properly made.
In the first place, the roadbed
should be at least ten inches deep.
The lower six inches deep. The lower
six inches should be of the larger
stones, though these should be of a
size that would pass through a two
inch screen. The upper four inches
should be smaller stone. that which
will pass through an inch or an inch
and n half screen. This should be
packed with steam roller, and with
proper drainage at the side this will
make an excellent road. II good rock
is available. that is. within hauling
distance, the cost will be about $1,000

Let the Hers Work.

Provide the hens with busting
place and litter to scratch in and there
were be less trouble with egg eating.
Hens are like children; If not kept
busy they are apt to get into mischief.
How happy hen seems when she is
making the dust fly. This is her way
of cleansing her body, getting rid of
lice and exercising. The hen that has
no chance to exercise is unhappy. The
deeper the litter and the harder she has
to scratch and dig for every kernel of
grain the happier she is. Cheerfulness
with hens amounts to something when
eggs are high. The busy, happE hen
turns food into eggs without laying
on fat. There is little danger OF over
feeding where small grains are thrown
in litter. Chaff straw or leaves, il
dry, make good litter for them to work
in. The refuse from the hayloft that
accumulates on the barn floor is a
scratching material that suits the hens
first rate. They will amuse themselves
for hours, scratching in the chaff on
the barn floor. They relish the clover
leaves and hay seeds, but few farmers
care to have hens foafng in the barn.
It's not much trouble TO carry few
baskets of the chaff to the poultry
house and scatter it on the floor. All
the available space of floor should be
utilized for this purpose. 1t will need
to be stirred up once in a while and
changed when it gets too neavy.
Throwing out the grain where the
hens can pick it up without any effort
is the usual method of feeding, and
with this method some of the timid
hens do not get enough and others get
more than they need and become fat
and sluggish. In this condition they
: will lay few eggs, no matter how fine
and warm their home may be.

are few States able TO do what New
