The installation of manure carriers
and hay fork is very easy, and these
will soon pay for themselves in the
labor saved. A feature of the barn
not to be overlooked Is the arrange
ment of the feed room and silo. The
four-foot chute extends the entire
length of the sllo, and has small win
dows for light, a tight door below
separating same from the feed room
to keep out dust and odors. The
silage is dropped down this chute, and
from there shovelled to the mixing
boXes-one for the cows and one for
the horses. There are two bins in the
feed room and two more may be locat-
ed on the floor above and connected
by small spouts for drawing off the
grain. These spouts may be located di-
rectly over the mixing boxes. All hay

Feeding of Eggs.

Hens will not refuse to lay provid-
ing the conditions which surround them
are favorable for egg production. OF
course, hen cannot keep on laying all
the time, nor will some hens lay even
for majority of the time, but the
farmer who provides the correct condi-
tons of housing, feeding and general
management will find that he will not
be entirely without eggs at any time of
the year. OF course, it is not the hens
nature to lay at this time Of the year,
but if she is comfortably housed and
well fed, the farmer will find that the
hen after all really has little senti-
ment as to just which season she shall
produce her eggs.
Getting eggs is not entirely a matter
Of feeding, yet if we feed correctly the
hens will not have that as an actual
obstacle to laying. Maturity and vigor
are two important things in the hens
that are to be heavy winter layers.
Keep the hens in a thrifty, vigorous
condition, and be sure and feed a va
riety. These things count for a great
deal toward success, Corn, oats and
wheat are the three principal grain
feeds, but there are others that may
well be fed by way of variety and
the meat and green stuff in some form
should never be neglected. Give any
kind of meat scraps or prepared meat
foods, as 1t pays. Try to keep the hens
under conditions as near like those in
existence at spring time as you can
and you will not suffer severely from
an egg famine. This is nothing impos
sible, and briefly, only means comfort
able housing, a variety of feeds, greer
stuff and meat scraps, and sanitary
neutrality-suspicious. Epitomist.

ESKIMO SUPERIORITY.

Vilhjalmar Stefansson, in writing OF
his thirteen months stay among the
Eskimos, tells, in Harper's Magazine,
of this great kindness to a guest who
could not pay for his keep, stranger
whose purpose among them they did
not know.
In an Eskimo home l have never
heard an unpleasant word between a
man and his wife, never seen a child
punished nor an old person treated In
considerably. The household affairs
are carried on in an orderly way, and
the good behavior Of the children Is re-
marked by practically every traveller.
In many things we are the superiors
of the Eskimo; in few we are his in.
feriors. The moral value of some OF
his superiority is small. He can make
better garments against cold than oul
tailors and furriers; he can thrive II
barren wastes where a New England
er would starve. But Of some Of his
superiority the moral value is great
He has developed individual equality
farther than we, he is less selfish, more
helpful to his fellows, kinder to hi:
wife, gentler to his child, more re
ticent about the faults of his neighbol
than any but the rarest and best Of oul
race.
