long and FIVE feet wide. Three or
four such racks in a yard will hold
a load of hay or corn fodder. 1t is
the best rack in which to feed corn
fodder we ever saw Cattle will pull
out every leaf and husk, leaving the
bare stalks in the bottom, which may
be removed as desired
The posts are four by four, six
feet long. On top of the posts two
by four is spiked, upon which the
Stats that hold the fodder rest. These
Stats are four inches wide and
placed far enough apart to admit the
nose of a cow--about six inches. The
bottom Is made of common six inch
boards. If meal is fed in the rack
matched flooring is better for the
bottom. A six inch board is nailed
on around the outside of the bottom
to hold the feed.
. Where young cattle, COWS or steers
run loose there Is no better way of
feeding them. We have fed a good
many steers in this rack. They were
dehorned and ran loose in a shed. The
rack was kept full of clover hay and
ensilage, and meal was fed twice
daily in the tight bottom.

You ask why they do this? Well, it's
a simple proposition. 1t takes three
weeks to the day for eggs to hatch
out. AS soon as you get chickens
you begin to feed them to beat
everything. The brooders, in which
they are kept In winter to keep them
warm, are fairly alive with the little
fellows, and by stuffing them with
corn and wheat we soon have chick.
ems as big as squads and kill them
for broilers. You know what they
are--the highest kind of chicken
meat. You can't blame the farmers
for boarding their eggs when you
know the profit there is in broilers
Then you get as much per pound as
you get for a dozen eggs at forty
cents a dozen. Its only the law OF
supply and demand which makes
eggs high, as everything else. Let all
the farmers turn all their eggs into
market, and you will see the price
come down; let them hoard their
eggs for Matching and up goes the
price. It's simple when you know
the truth. h."--Philadelphia Record.

Preserving Shingles.

The Forest Service has studied the
shingle problem along with that of
the preservation of farm timber. 1t
is found that shingles treated with
creosote by a special process which
the service has invented warp but
little and decay slowly, because
water is kept out of the tissues of
the wood. One such roof will out
last two or three left in the natural
state to curl, spring leaks and fall
to pieces. The creosote used is moth
ing more than dead oil of coal tar,
but 1t keeps water from entering the
pores of the wood and render 1t i'm
mune to decay for long time.
A roof of that kind costs a
little more at first, but 1t is
cheaper in the long run. Woods
which are usually classed as inferior,
such as lobiolly pine, beech, syca-
more and others which are quick de-
caying. readily take the preservative
treatment and are given a largely in
creased value.
The preserving apparatus is
neither expensive nor hard to oper-
ate. One such outfit will serve sew
eral farmers. The main items are
an iron tank Can old engine boiler
will do), with preventative fluid in
1t and a fire under 1t. and another
tank of cold preservative The shin
giles of other woods to be treated
are immersed for a sufficient time in
the hot creosote and then in the
cold. Full details OF the operation
are given to applicants for informa-
tion by the Forest Service at Wash

Don't use a sour or musty barrel;

A Rather Novel Idea.

1t is said that farmer near Lam
caster, Pa, unable to obtain farm
help and realizing that he would be
unable to harvest his crops alone,
hit upon the novel scheme of public
sale Of his crops as they stood in the
fields. He had a sixteen-acre corn
field and large apple orchard. The
novelty of his proposition attracted
a crowd, and bidding was spirited.
In consequence the farmer netted
s2S per acre for his corn, while his
apples fetched him $1.25 per tree,
the purchasers furnishing the labor
necessary to gather tho corn and
pick the apples. Weekly Witness.

The Value of Poultry Manure.

Farmers do not appreciate the
value of poultry manure. 1t has
been estimated that the value of the
droppings for fertilizer is fourteen
cents per fowl per year. The New
Jersey Experiment Station values the
fresh manure of fowls at SAGE per
ton; the Massachusetts station values
1t at S5.2S. The farmer doesn't value
1t at all, yet fresh hen manure is
considered nearly twice as valuable
as fresh COW manure. 1t is claimed
that the poultry manure II sold or
used would cover the cost of the
care of the fowls. Left in the hen
house to dry, the dust breathed in by
the fowls, 1t costs the farmer more
than he would willingly pay, did he
know.-Wallaces Farmer.
