Crosalnu Not the Best,

If you have scrub stock and get a
chance to cross it on thoroughbreds,
do not hesitate moment; that Is the
best. But many farmers get an idea
that it is good to cross thoroughbreds.
We doubt it.. In fact, we do not be-
lieve it is. We agree that good re-
suits have been shown from such
crosses, but as rule in such cases
an experiment is at stake, and the
cross is given the best possible oppor'
tunity. Such crossing is contradic'
ton of the long and patient efforts
that were required to build up the
breed, and it cannot be good policy
to tear down what has been done
First crosses may show up we'll, but

lows, and If crossing Of thoroughbreds
of one variety upon thoroughbreds OF
another were to become the rule, il
would not be long until all would be
scrubs again.
To cross thoroughbred varieties
may crafty a desire to experiment
but it can add nothing to permanent
good results.

hole and inside of post. These holes
are for the hooks, the first ones being
as near the bottom as possible, the
second 18 inches above, and the third
one "a inches above the second, so on
extending the distance as the top Is
approached, using ten hoops on a 20
foot silo. The illustration shows 20,
but this is a mistake. The hoops are
made of one-half-inch round iron in
half lengths with large head on one
end and thread nut and broad washer
on the other.
A solid, level foundation Is first
built, on which circle the size of the
silo is drawn. The door-posts or
frame, is then stood up at the proper
place and securely stayed. Slaves
are then placed on around the circle,
staying each one temporarily by tack
ing old barrel slaves horizontally
across it. When one-half around the
circle. the binding-post, which has pre-.
viously had as many flve-eighths-inch
holes bored in it as both door-posts,
is stood up in place of stave. then
on around until the opposite door-post
is reached. Hoops are then thrust
through the holes in the right door
post. on around to the binding-post,
through it and turned up tightly.
The left side is treated the same
until all the hoops are in place. AS
finishing touch, the inside of silo Is
banked up with cement. making the
bottom somewhat kettle-shaped and
insuring an absolutely tight joint be-
tween the cement and the ends Of the
slaves. The door-posts have grooves,
two by two inches, rabbetted out of
the inside corners. into which the
ends of the boards used for doors fit.
These doors may be made of any
straight-edge boards of even thick
ness, laid double with paper between
them, the edges breaking joints. This
silo can be we'll built without skilled
labor, and for about one dollar per ton
capacity. This plan has been fol-
lowed by all who have seen them in
use, and in various states, and always
gives satisfaction.

LIVE STOCK RAISING.

When one has young pigs and
breeding stock to care for he must
think further than merely what food
will fatten most.
Feeding without care is useless.
Give the cow sunlight; it has its place
in the economic production of milk
just as we'll as good food.
A successful dairyman feeds his
COWS this excellent balanced ration:
Clover hay and corn fodder, all the
COWS will eat up clean, for roughage;
for grain, peas and oats, ground fine,
and bran in equal parts by weight
and feed one pound of grain to three
or four pounds of milk, with 1t
pounds of sugar beets day.
For generations English farmers
have made extensive use Of Dwarf Es'
sex rape as a stock food. This plant
may be described as rutabaga run
to head. The seed is sown like ruta-
baga turnips and cultivated without
thinning. Sow two or three pounds
in drills, or four or five broadcast, and
plant in early spring. The seed Is not
expensive and the crop Is easy to
raise.
Experiments prove that heller Is
easier to fatten than steer.
If you haven't hog pasture 1t will
pay to fence off corner of the clover
meadow for them. The hogs will get
more value for you out of the clover
than it would be worth in the form OF
hay, and save the harvesting OF 1t.
If whole oats are scattered very
tbinly on a floor and the brood SOW is
allowed to feed on them she Will gel
enough to keep thrifty, while not get
ting enough to grow fat. This also
keeps her busy and contented.

CONTINUOUS DOOR IN A SILo
Plan That Works Admirably and by
Which Acme Of Convenience
and Durability Secured.


Some years ago. when building our
second silo, cast about for design
that should unite the good points OF
the circular silo with the conveniences
Of the continuous door Of the square
silo. finally hit upon a plan which
works admirably, and by which the
acme of silo convenience and dura-
bility is secured, writes r. Walker
McKeen in Rural New Yorker. The
illustration explains the plan quite
we'll. The material used may be any
good lumber, fairly free from knots.
Mine Is made Of hemlock, others near
by are made Of pine. Slaves the de-
sired length are sawed two by four
inches, and for inside silos they need
be neither planed nor beveled. Two
doorposts, six by six inches, are
framed together by being dropped on
to short sill and by dropping plate
on top. Additional strength is given on
putting bolts through just above the
sill and just below the plates, and In
silos more than twenty feet high an
additional rod may be put through
the middle of the posts. Another sim
liar post, called binding post, is pre-
pared to stand on opposite side Of silo.
The doorposts have five-eighths inch
holes bored through them, leaving
Just two inches space between edge OF

strike the animals directly in the
eyes. Light is best admitted from
above and behind the animal. An ex-
cellent method of admitting light Is
by means of the Sherringham window
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. The window is hinged at the
bottom and opens inward at the top,
and serves for ventilation as we'll as
light. Abundance Of light for stables
Is important hygienically, as direct
sunlight destroys many germs, Is a
good drying agent, and adds a cheer

To Go with a Pair Of Gloves,

To Go with Pair OF Gloves.
Gloves are always acceptable and
seem to be one of the few things per-
missible for a young man to give a
girl. The following lines accompanied
such a gift sent by devoted admirer
as philopena present:
Merely two gloves, yet the hands they
encase
Are the hands that oft rule the world;
Hands that are dainty, tender and kind,
The first that mans power unfurled;
Hands that are found where good deeds
must be done,
Hands whose caress is divine.
May they always be strong to uphold the
right
And raise mortals to hottest shrine;
Hands that in physical prowess are weak
But in moral persuasion most strong;
Hands that will succor the needy and i'll
And sever the right from the wrong.
May those hands be ever steadfast and
true
To the one they vow to love;
May they ever find warmth in Loyal
heart,
AS they find in this wee little glove.

Chafinu Dish Clubs.

Chatting dish clubs are quite the
newest things among the young ma
irons of city suburb. There are six
of them in the coterie I happen to
know about, and how the husbands do
enjoy the Saturday fortnight feasts.
The girls go and take their work and
the meal is served at seven o'clock.
The hostess provides the substantials
and two assistants. Here is what they
had last week:
Fish chowder served from an old
fashioned tureen in the most enticing
bowls, grilled sausage and sweet pota-
toes en- casserole, fried cheese sand
wiches, chilli con carne, hot biscuit,
stuffed olives, French salad, with
chives and string beans served with
appetizing sailed waters. For dessert
there were individual apple tarts
heaped with whipped cream, black
coffee, cheese and barley sugar sticks.
Each one Of these young matrons is
personally interested in some one es-
pecial thing, and for fancy work they
bring something for personal wear
or for the house. The art of fine
needle work has certainly been re-
vived, as the piles of hand-embroid-
cred towels, scalloped napkins, dainty
doilies that are in the process of con-
struction would delight the hearts of
our grandmothers. After the happy
repast the husbands smoke, play
cards, or perhaps all play bridge. At
ten good-nights are said. The rules
are: Four courses at supper, or din
ner, whatever the hostess chooses;
street suits, taps" at ten. One Of the
husbands calls it "The Grow Young
club" for it is the one evening in the
week when every one relaxes and has
a real honey, comfy time. By the way
the new chatting dishes are very salts
factory and capable of furnishing
nearly an entire meal, far ahead Of
the affair Of few years ago.

Preventing Disease.

It is more easy to prevent disease
In animals than it is to cure. Hog
cholera prevails more or less in ali
sections of the country, but in the
majority Of cases it is due to the con
dition of the herds and mismanage-
ment in feeding than to any other
cause. Hogs must have green or
bulky food, also salt and charcoal.
These substances are not in direcS
way preventives of cholera, but they
keep the animals in a more or lesa
thrifty condition and render them lasD
liable to disease.
