Self-Freeziug Ice Cream.

Pour your cream of whatever kind
into the freezer, surround with alter
nate layers of ice, shaved or cracked
almost as fine as snow and rock salt
Fill to the top and pour over all two
quarts of the strongest brine. Bury
the freezer out of sight in cracked ice,
throw a piece of carpet or Il double
sack over all and do not touch for an
hour. Open then and beat and churn
when you have scraped the frozen
cream from the sides down into the
middle. Have stout paddle made
for this and work diligently for at
least five or six minutes Now close
the freezer, pack it down again in
rock salt and firm chopped ice, burying
it out Of sight as before, put a weight
on the top, unless the freezer be fast
to the bottom of the outer vessel, and
let all alone for two hours longer.

Sun blinds and shades should be IN

way to mend a tear is to coaguline a

If a bag made of outing flannel or
any soft material he drawn over 4

caring for linoleum, painted or hard

may be an objection, it serves as a
good disinfectant.

In summer the farmer has plenty of
work on hand, and work that must
have prompt attention, but the work
needed in the garden is that which he
should least neglect. His living depends
on it. at least he ought to think so. and
act on that belief. 1t is certain that
there is no other part of his entire
work SO important to the health and
comfort of his family and himself. and
the actual saving of expenses which a
bounteOus garden insures is feature
which alone warrants him in making Il
good garden, no matter what other
work many cause him to defer. 1t is
presumed that he has by this time of
year made all necessary preparations
for a supply of fruit for family use
during the entire summer, and much of
the provision for a supply of staple
vegetables should be completed, but
there is time for much more, and it
will not pay to neglect it.

WEAVING Pigs,

1t will soon be time to take young
pigs from the sows, and in weaving
them much care will be necessary to
avoid stunning them or stopping their
growth. When about three weeks old
the young pigs will begin to look
around for feed and pen should then
be provided for them where they can
be cOaXed and given a little fresh
milk-it takes very little at first-after
they have once tasted the milk they
may be easily called to their feed.
Corn should be constantly kept in this
pen and the little pigs have free access
to it at all times. Milk or swill should
be fed to them, little at first. and
increased gradually daily. 1t will be
beneficial to give them all the fresh.
clean swilI they will drink I'D clean
at each feed. Never feed little pigs
anything sour, or so much swill that it
will stand in the trough and sour. Feed
them this way until you see that the
sow is dried up, then remove her and
the pigs will be weaned.

Debt Sometimes JustifiahJe.

Any young man of enterprise, energy
and sound health is justified in going
into debt for a reasonable amount de
pending somewhat upon his own ca
pacity and the opportunity which may
offer for digging out. In case he is
married much will depend upon the
disposition and strength of his wife
who. whether he will or no. is bound
to share a portion of the responsible
ity as well as the work incident to in
curing the obligation. Of course this
advice is only for young men of de-
termination, earnestness and sobriety.
Chaps of any other type are likely to
fare better if they stay out of debt.

be inclined TO borrow.

those wishing small barn. 1t is 1Sx
q feet on the ground and divided as
shown in the floor plan. The open shed
is used for tools, wagon, buggy, or
shop, and sometimes simply as a
place to store manure. In some of the
colder States doors should be provided
for the she'd and possibly the parti-
tons extended to the ceiling. The

fourteen to sixteen feet in front The
loft is fOOred over eight feet above
the grade line. This provides ample
storage space for hay and rough feed
and the two feed rooms are ample for
grain and bran. These may be fioored
or not, as desired The outer walls are
boarded up and down and battened.
The roof should be covered with some
rather tight material not over eight
inches wide, and this is turn covered
with any of the prepared roofing felt
now on the market. The barn has
been built several times at a price
ranging from $50 to $50, and can be
built some cheaper where native Ium-

Mixed Breeding

In mixed breeding, or cross breed
ing, nothing is accomplished beyond
the first cross, says a Colorado veter-
mary bulletin. While a few good in
dividuals may be secured, the tend
ency is for the progeny to be below
rather than above the average. A man
conducting his breeding in a haphaz-
ard way is contending with fearful
odds, cropping in the dark following a
Will-o'-the wisp. In a hundred years
he would be just where he started. In
cldentaly this is just what we have
been doing in this country from the
beginning, and the reason why we
have SO few pure breeds of live stock
and are, after all this time, sending
our good money across the water for
pure-bred sires which we should pro
duce at home.
After animals have been graded up
to practical purity of blood, the
longer they are bred along this line
the more prepotent they become, and
the more certain that the offspring
will uniformly possess general excel
lence of form, quality, action and
utility.
The same is, of course true of all
live stock. The only certain method
of raising the average standard of ex-
cellence is by persistent breeding to
sires of the same breed until the na,
tive blood is obliterated and the pro
geny uniformly possesses all those de
sirable qualities of the pure breed en-
ployed.

There are customs which are rigid
~ adhered to in the sowing or plant
ing of staple crops. Glover is usually
sOwn on wheat land in the spring, the
seed being scattered over the ground
when it is covered with snow in order
to facilitate the work. One of the
rigid rules is to SOW a certain quantity
of seed Gas little as possible if seed is
high, and should the stand be light
the cause is ascribed to everything but
the quantity of seed that has been
used. That fact is that seed should be
used more literally, as much of it is
destroyed in various ways before germi-
nation, the saving of seed causing a
loss of clover. Another point is to
harrow the wheat, seed down the Glow
er and then use a roller on the land
The better the preparation for clover,
the more seed will terminate and the
more perfect the 'catch."

success and creditable standing. Accor-
