The Bone Mill.

It is surprising that every farmer
that has fowls does not have a bone
mill. Bones cannot be utilized with
out being ground, and they contain
a large amount of food ingredients.
Bones contain much lime and this is
very necessary to the fowl dropping
a large number of eggs during the
year. Bones also contain phosphorus.
and this is not found in as large guam
titles in some other foods. The green
bones also contain considerable of
nitrogen. Altogether the use of bones
ground or cut is to be recommended.
Moreover, large quantities of the
bones are constantly going to waste.
Why throw away bones which may
be of such value in the poultry estab-
lishment? Their manurial value is
also made available after they have
been used by the fowls.

A portable hen house furnishes

There are various designs of colony
houses that can be made portable and
answer the purpose in every way. The
one here illustrated is an excellent one
and has many strong advantages over
many that are in use to-day upon some
farms. The house is 5x6h with five
posts.
The building is mounted upon run

and for cleaning out. A system o.
ventilation is used that supplies fresf
air on the same principle as used il
cow-stables. This is essential as the
shelter is small and tight.
This portable shelter, says Prairie
Farmer, has been in use for severa
years and is one of the most popular
portable hen houses in use upon sew

slender petals, four short stamens and

GOOD PAINT AS AN ASSET.
Farm Buildings Should Be Kept Wall
Protected to Prevent Loss.


Among all the routine expenses Of
the property owner there is none that
yields more satisfactory returns than
good paint. In this respect it is Ike
fire insurance, but with a difference.
Fire is accidental and when an in
sured building burns, the insurance
company pays a good proportion of
the cost of rebuilding. But when a
building suffers for the lack of paint
-as it must suffer if painting is neg
lected-the owner bears the entire
loss. 1t is the height of improvidence,
therefore, to allow a property to de-
~teriorate for the lack of a coat Of good
paint in season; for paint is not only
a form Of insurance that pays its own
premiums, but in the selling value it
adds to a building, it is an actual cash
asset.
The best time to paint is in the
spring or the fall, when the weather
is settled, and paint applied at the
proper time will wear better and pro-
tect better than if applied at an un-
favorable season
For ordinary use there is nothing
superior to the better grades of ready
mixed paints put on the market by
responsible manufacturers. They can
be bought anywhere in convenient
quantities, and of any desired tint or
shade, from local dealers. A little in
quiry regarding the local record OF
any such paint offered for sale will
usually enable the consumer to judge
of its quality.
So much for the selection of the
paint; its application should be left to
a good painter. who will get better
results, with lees material, from any
form of paint than the unskilled
novice can obtain.

yellow classes for SENSITIVE gyes.

Motais has been prescribing for is
years in cases of ultra-sensitiveness
to light glasses of a yellowish tint,
slightly orange, with a brownish tint
on reflection. They increase the per-
ception of light, while soothing the

vents the passage OF the chemical

glasses, he states, will be found far
superior to smoked or blue glasses,

MAklNe ICE AT HOME.
How It Can Be Done During the
Severe Cold Weather.

Secure several vessels with flaring
sides like tubs, half-barrels or large
pals and clean them thoroughly. Then
when the first severe freezing wea-
Their sets in place these vessels, filed
with clean well water to a depth of
one foot in exposed places. One or
two nights of freezing viii convert the
water into a solid cake of ice and
about 20 tubs viii make a ton.
To secure clear ice stir the water
vigorously for a while before allow
ing to freezes to cause the air to
leave it. When frozen solid set the
tub for a moment in some boiling vat
er and the cake can be removed cas-
lily. Place these blocks into storage
at once and refill the tubs. A few
days of zero weather viii in this way
provide several tons OF good ice. -Four
or FIVE tons will supply an average
family for the entire summer.
If you have no good ice house, Farm
and Home suggests the inclosing of a
storage bin in the corner of the barn.
Build a box on the north side of the
barn and protect it with a good layer
of straw or hay. Provide for drainage
n ventilation with an opening for
removing the ice at the top. A space
tsn feet each way will hold eight to
ten tons. Pack we'll in sawdust and
