Calf Man gers.

A form Of combined stanchion and
manger for calf feeding is illustrated
in bulletin published by the Michi-
gan Experiment Station and is recon-
mended as being very convenient. The
principle on which the stanchion is
built is not claimed to be new; the
use dates back a number of decades,
but the especial application and adj
iustment of the one hereafter descr1b-
ed presents some new features. This
particular model is produced as the
result of three years trial, having IN
dergone several changes since the first
one was installed. This appliance can
be adjusted so as to accommodate the
calf from birth up to twelve months
of age. The calves are confined in the
stancbions at feeding time only. After
the calf has been secured the milk
bucket is placed in the manger; when
the milk is consumed the bucket is
removed and ensilage and meal sup
piled, followed by hay. BY using this
stanchion method Of feeding the maxi

The YoIks of Eggs.

The color Of the yolk of the egg
seems often to be effected very notice
ably by change in the food. When
fowls are closely confined in winter
or summer, 1t often happens, especial
ly if ration is deficient in green food
that the yolks are pale colored. In
one instance a much deeper orange
color in the yolk followed a change in
feeding to green clover and alfalfa
One lot, where pale colored yolks were
the rule, laid eggs with orange colored
yolks after they had been given the
run of barn floor covered with dry
clover chaff and leaves. A change in
color of butter is often noticeable in
the same way when COWS are turned

GERMAN REcLUSE IN INDIA.
Lived Alone for Years and Refused I
Fortune He Had Inherited.

From Bangalore comes the strange
story of German recluse named Eas-
par Schieffmayer, who lived alone in 4
village near ST. Johns Hill and was
found dead in his room, having sue
cumbed to a neglected attack of bron-
chitis.
Mr.. Schieffmayer went to India about
thirty years ago as specialist in agricul-
ture for the government of Madras, but
as the climate did not suit him he re-
signed the appointment. Proceeding 70
Bangalore, he purchased over forty acres
and never left his estate even Temporal
rily for the rest of his life He occu-
pied room about eight feet square, the
only articles in it being a cot, chair
and few cooking utensils. His food
consisted of milk and eggs and loaf
of bread supplied to him daily, and the
one coolie whom he employed was al
ways sent away before sunset.
A valuable stock of cows and pigs and
some savage bull terriers were, in fact,
all the companions of his life. His pecu-
liar habits developed to such a pitch
that he gave up wearing clothes except
when obliged to see some rare visitors
as came on business. This eccentric way
of life was attributed to an early love
trouble which was believed to have
turned the unfortunate agriculturist into
q misogynist and a world hater.
A few months before his death a let
ter was forwarded to him from the Ger
man consul at Madras to inform him
that he had come into considerab BILE
fortune, but the old hermit scorned TO
acknowledge the communication and died

NiaIeriaIs for the SIln.

Ensilage is being used more and
more for general farm stock, being
fed to some extent to the calves, the
market steers and the horses. 1t
probably requires little higher grade
of skill to manage farm with the
silo system. There is room for judg-
ment in putting up the silo, in han
ding the crop and filling the s1lo, to
say nothing Of its management win
ter and summer and the right plan
Of feeding. There is considerable to
learn for the farmer who has always
practiced the hay, grain and roots sys-
tenn. Yet the experience of those who
have made the change seems to indi-
cate that there Is no need Of making
serious mistakes even the first year,
while the new system nearly always
gives satisfaction under the circum-
stances mentioned. Perhaps not ev-
cry dairy farmer needs a silo, but it
can not be denied that a great many
more silos are needed than have yet
been put up.

Rotation must be practiced in the

Black Winter or Spanish radishes

1t has been said that weeds are the

For best results in the vineyard
plenty of water is necessary. During

A fall crop of potatoes will be found
profitable, if the grower has kept his
land in good filth during the sum-
mer.
Cold air will not fnjure sheep, but a
wet coat and cold wind may prove
as dangerous as it would with any
other animal.
All decaying cabbage should be dug
up and destroyed. Black rot and other
fungus diseases and insect pests will
thus be held back.
All rubbish should be removed from
the garden before it is plowed. De-
bris of any sort is annoying and in
terferes with cultivation.
Sunshine and air are essential to
health in chickens as well as any
other livestock on the farm See that
the place where they are kept has
windows to let the sunshine in and
ventilators to bring in the fresh air.

even this is rather high for the new

feed over this, but should not be left
fastened during the day. as they could
not lie down comfortably. The side
of the manger next the feed alley is
practically feet high and 21h feet
above the floor; the slope given to
this part of the manger is a very de-
cided advantage, especially in placing

is fastened in the stanchion: even
more slope than that indicated would
be well. The manger is partitioned
off every two feet; this should be the
minimum width, for while it is ample
room for the young calves, even more
room would be desirable for the rough
age of the older ones. The manser
partitions extend upward as far as the
curved line shown in the illustration.

Getting Rid of Stumps.


Since the discovery of that region
constituting part of the present State
OF Washington the fir stump has block
ed the progress of civilization west of
the Cascades, from Oregon to British
Columbia. Science has found ways
to span the States rivers, tunnel its
mountains and irrigate its deserts, but
until recently it has been unable to
cope with the fir stump. Bulky, firm
rooted in the earth, and so saturated
with pitch that it will not decay, 1t
has defied everything but dynamite,
and that costs about SO a stump, with
an equal amount to cover the expenses
of the donkey engine necessary to re-
move the roots when the main body
of the stump has been shattered.
Clearly such q costly process can not
be used for agricultural purposes in a
heavily timbered country.
Such was the situation when. three
years ago, an enterprising farmer con-
ceived the idea of burning out the
stumps by forced draft After many
experiments he finally got 4 horse
power donkey engine, attached a g.
inch American blower, and over this
he fitted a tin case with twelve tubes
leading from it. To these he attached
pieces of garden hose and to the ends
iron pipe. Then he bored a hole in
the stump, and, dropping in a live
coal, inserted a pipe and started the
engine. In a few moments the hole
was aaame, and soon a dozen stumps
were blazing, although it was the wet
season and the monsters were sodden
