to keep their feet will hope that the
invention is a financial success. The
horseshoe has series of parallel ridges
on it's heel and toe portions. The ridges
on the toe portion run parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the shoe and those
ON the heel portion run transversely.
These ridges form a series of recesses
adapted to receive and retain snow or
dirt, thus forming bearing surface
for the shoe and making the horse
surer of his footing. Running in oppo-
site directions, as they do, the corruga-
lions act as a sort of brake in which
ever way the animals feet may happen
to slip, and the whole effect is to pre-
vent snow or dirt "caking" on the fat
of the shoe.

Mark Twain on Books.

A young girl asked Mark Twain if
he liked books for Christmas gifts.
''Well, that depends" drawled the
great humorist. IF book has leather
cover it is really valuable as razor
strop. If it is a brief, concise work,
such as the French write, it is useful to
put under the short leg of wabbly
table. An old fashioned book, with a
clasp, can't be beat as a missile to hurl
at a dog. and large book, like a
geography, is as good as a piece of tin
to nail over broken pane of glass.

oxercrowdins Chickens.


The great loss each year from over
crowding runs up into thousands OF
dollars. This can easily be remedied
by spending a few cents each for a
number of piano boxes Two gunny
sack partitions may be put in these
boxes, and each one will accommodate
several hundred small chickens. Fifty
small chicks is the largest number
that can safely be housed together.
Most overcrowding is found in brood
made is not to consider the rapidity
with which chick develops and hence
the necessity of more spacious quar-
tiers. The secret is to separate the
chicks into small lots and never to let
them pile up. Overcrowding results in
lack of exercise, food and drink,
which means bowel trouble and other
diseases. Lack of pure air weakens
their system; it is better to Gull out
half Of your flock and raise the re-
mainder in health and vigor than to
overcrowd them and suffer the loss
Of your whole flock. Keep the quar-
tiers clean to rid them of mites and
lice which sap the life out Of them
in a short time.
Never allow the young stock to be
confined in houses and yards that are
occupied by old birds, as they tramp
and run over them, and thus stunt
their growth. Stunted chickens are
like stunted pigs-no good at all; they
may pull through to maturity, but
they can't develop into healthy birds.

out an ear will not store up as many
units of feed nutrients as it will by
forming an ear. This total, of course,
includes the ear. Thus the effort is
made everywhere to introduce large

professor has found that the stalk thai
has never shown an ear-lf left until
mature-is the same as another similar
stalk supporting the ear. This is moi
an argument to go back to some varie-

that the expense of digestion was
much less to the animal where the
food solids were in the structure of the
plant than when in the grain, though
the latter was assisted" by the condi'

with grain dried. The discovery opens

Farm Machinery.


In what kind of shell are your
farm machinery and, tools? asks the
Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean. Many
farmers have big machine shed with
the sky for a roof This is roomy
house, but it has the disadvantage of
is not the best thing for wood and
iron.
So many complain that net profits
of farming are small. No wonder,
when they are compelled to purchase a
new binder or cultivator nearly every
summer. These machines ought to and
will last for many ears if properly
cared for.
Now is the time, if it has not al
ready been done, to get all tools and
implements carefully stored away in
dry buildings. On rainy days or at
odd times all the wood and iron work
should be coated with oil or axle
grease to prevent rust and decay. This
will not only make them last longer,
but will keep them bright and sound
for immediate and satisfactory use
when they are taken out next spring.
Rusty wheels and bearings will not
run smooth, and the rusty pillow is
vexation when the new season opens
for rush work. A cents worth of Oil
and a minutes work now will save an
hours work of securing and swearing
next spring.
Men who get rich and have money
to lend make it a point to prolong the
life of their farm implements by shell

oiled and painted. Why not your
