Dairy Cows and the Silo.

A Wisconsin dairyman says that
the silo and good feed at reason
able cost is making this method of
handling dairy herds feasible and
popular. With excellent succulent
feed on hand about all the year, the
dairyman plans to have his calves
come at whatever time he considers
will best serve his own interests. The
majority, of the dairymen in the
southern part of my county are now
equipped with silos, and they would
now consider it a hardship to have to
do without them. In the northern
section the use of silos is less general,
though they are now fast coming into
use.
The desire of the dairymen to build
up their dairy herds in both quality
and quantity is the reason why the
percentage of heifer calves coming
into market is so small. With the
ensilage feed dairymen al mature
their good heller calves without great
expense, and they are holding them
back for that purpose, in the mean
while gradually selling off the old
and less profitable cows and building
up herds of great milk producing
capabilities.

Afternoon Tea.

One of the fads that has cropped
out with the settled habit Of after
noon tea drinking is the serving OF
colored bonbons with the tea in place
of cube sugar. Some women make
these bonbons, coioring them to suit
the fittings of the table and favorine
them with lemon or orange. Rock
candy is also used for this purpose.
Lemon and tea are said to clear the
complexion, but if one is very tired
the tea should be drunk clear or with
a little milk and very slowly. If n
ever noticed the epicurean comfort OF
an old tea drinker with a cup OF hot
tea one must have observed with what
deliberation the tea was taken. 1t is
a fault with many housewives to lei
the tea stand too long after the water
goes on before serving. Seven min
utes is the prescribed limit of any
brand, and less than five is better
with all kinds. For a second cup.

Epidemic of Itch in Welsh Village.

Epidemic of Itch in Welsh Village.
In Dowlais, South Wales, about
fifteen years ago, families were strick-
en- wholesale by a disease known as
the itch. Believe me, 1t is the most
terrible disease of its kind that ]
know of, as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as if a million mosquitoes were
attacking you atGtHe same time. I
knew a dozen families that were so
affected.
'"The doctors did their best, but
their remedies were Of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable. cures. People came
to him from all parts Of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse; as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. ] am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolyent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
in all cases.
Il may add that my three brothers,
three sisters, myself and all our fam
lilies have been users Of the Cuticura
Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas

THE Examination Fetish.

The next few weeks are those in
which the miserable Candidates VINO
have been crammed to the eyelids for
competitive examinations are plucked
and drawn, and their intellectual ca
pacity gagged by their ability to an
swera a number of perverted questions
on the knotty points Of a round doz-
en- of subjects of very varying util-
ity. It has been our fortune to look
through a series of recent examina-
ton papers set by one governing
body, and we can only confess our
surprise at the extraordinary mental
blindness of the pedagogues VINO have
set them. They are in nc sense a test
CT real knowledge; they are rather a
collection of traps for the unWary stu
dent. who is examined, not in his abil-
ity to speak a foreign language, u
in his familiarity with irregular verbs.
The history papers specialize on
dates and such dry bones OF the
past; the mathematicalpape are full
of problems which could never come
before the boy who is to enter a COM
mercial life, and which would be ridic-
ulous as a training for the higher
mathematics. The schoolmaster may
cram his charges to pass such a test,
but let us not delude ourselves with
the idea that such a learning by rote
of text books is education. 1t is a sim
ME imitation Of a process which the
parrot has ~familiariZed. - London

A Pig Squealed
and---War! !
seeaaeeeaeeee seoeee0oeo

Champ Clark, the minority leader
in the House of Representatives, says
he hopesFto write some day a book
about what a margin of n vote has
caused to happen in the history of
this country. One of the instances of
what one vote will do he describes as
follows:
The war between this country and
England in 1872 was caused by n
vote, and, stranger still, the small
margin came from a pigs getting its
head stuck in a rail fence. 1t was a
Rhode Island fence at that. but built
much like a Virginia worn fence.
They were having an election of
members of the Legislature in Rhode
Island. One Federalist put off going
to the election and left himself just
time enough to get there before the
polls closed. Just as he got on his
horse and started for town, he heard
a pig squeal. He looked around and
saw that the pig had its head damned
into that old rail fence, and anybody
who knows anything about hogs
knows that the hogs would have eat
en- that pig UP if it hadn't been res
cued. The farmer stopped long
enough to liberate the pig, and when
he got to the polls, they were closed.
He was too late.
The result was that a Democratic
member of the Legislature was elect
ed from that district by one vote, and
he would not have been elected If that
Federal had gotten there on time. In
the Legislature a Democratic United
States Senator was elected by n
vote, and that Democratic legislator
who had been elected by n vote
voted for him.
In the United States Senate they
voted for the War of 1872 by n
vote, and that Rhode Island Demo-
cratic Senator who had been elected
because that pig got caught in the
fence voted for the War of 1S12.-

Ragout of Veal.

Veal from shank or breast may be
used for this dish quite as we'll as
higher priced cuts. Stew the meat
until very tender with onion, parsley,
one-fourth cup of vinegar and a bay
leaf, and remove from the bone while
warm. When cool cut into pieces
suitable for serving, roll each in sea-
soned -four, brown lightly in the tat
fried out slowly from several slices OF
salt pork. Make the sauce with one
fourth cup each of butter and -four
and one-third cup of veal stock, one
half teaspoon of kitchen bouquet, one
tablespoon of lemon juice and three
Of prepared horseradish. Pour this
around the veal, garnish with the
crisp pork and a little water cress OF
parsley.-Boston Post.

the scratching room. One IS pIaceu
in the hover room, but it cannot be
seer in the illustration, as 1t is on the
%opposite side from where the lamp
fume is placed. These windows are
made long and narrow to avoid cut
ting more boards in the box than may
be absolutely necessary. Then long,
narrow strips of glass do not cost as
much as the larger pieces. The panes
of glass are held in place by strips OF
wood from the inside and plenty OF
putty on the outside.
The roof on both compartments is
made. of good lumber and made very
substantial and covered with a good
roofing paper or tin and painted. Ihe
roof hinges at the top, as shown IN
the illustration, so access to any part
of the brooder will be easy and also
for convenience in cleaning. Notice
the wide cave made all around on the
roof. This is to throw the water well
away from the walls of the brooder,
and helps very materially in the ap-
pearance. See that the lid-roofs tit
down snugly against the walls of the
brooder by placing a buffer of a cou-
ple of thicknesses of cloth all around
the edge of the box on the inside in
such manner that the lid will press
down firmly against it.
In making the heater measure the
inside dimensions of the larger apart
ments. Obtain a piece of tin that will
fit into this space, possibly just a lit
tie smaller than the floor. Then a
section of ordinary stove pipe, seven
inches long and seven inches in di-
ameter. Do not think that a gallon
tin will do. There must not be any
solder about the tin part of it. Get
your timer to put a tight cap or LID
on one end of this stove pipe. Then
make a hole in the large tin sheet
seven inches in diameter and fasten
the stove pipe to it. 1t takes a timer
and a timers tools to do this. The
small pipe leading off from this is two
inches in diameter and has a tin pro-
tector to keep the wind from blowing
directly in it. Do not fasten the small
pipe directly to the stove pipe, but
have it detached to fit on the collar
of the stove pipe sc you can get the
stove pipe up through the floor from
the lower side so the large tin sheet
will cover the whole of the ceiling of
the lamp chamber and make the lamp

room freproof. With this large
sheet of tin lining the entire ceiling
of the lamp room, one could build a
pretty hot fire before anything would
catch fire. A tin shield is easily made
to fit within a half-inch or so of the
stove pipe to keep the chicks from
close proximity to the hot pipe by
cutting holes in a piece of tin four
inches wide and about twenty-six
inches long.
The making of the hover is the next
thing in order. If your box is two
and a half by two and a half feet,
make the hover about two by two,
leaving a six-inch space about the
sides of the hover. The hover is made
of light pine or poplar boards three
fourths of an inch thick, and the legs
are made long enough so the top of
the hover will easily clear the. top Of
the tin dome of the stove pipe. I'm
derneath the hover tack a piece of tin
about twelve inches by twelve inches
to reflect the heat and avoid any pos
sibility OF the hover getting too hot.
Take an old piece Of wooden cloth and
tack it in rows, starting at the outside
edge of the hover and making three
or four rows. The wooden curtains
should very nearly touch the floor so
drafts cannot strike the chicks feet.
We have seen several brooders fail
because the curtains were too short.
Be sure to use wool for the curtain
if you can possibly get it, as it holds
the heat much better than cotton.
Don't be afraid to use plenty of it so
it will be cozy and as near like the
down breast of the mother hen as pos
sible. Chicks like to have something
pressing against their backs.
A ventilator is made by the timer
out of scrap tin to open any distance.
One ventilator is placed at the top Of
the brooder on one side and one at
the bottom on the opposite. A piece
Of tin bent in a half circle shape is
made to ft owe the ventilator OPEN
ing on the inside and in the one case
conveys the air down to within an
inch of the floor and in the other al
lows the surplus heat to pass down
and out. This system of ventilation
avoids any possibility of drafts and
yet admits plenty of fresh air and lets
the carbon dioxide pass off from neal
| the floor where it is more in abund.
ance.
A door is made for the lamp at the
! back side of the brooder. Also at the
back of the brooder make TWO oblons
hand holes Just beneath the ceiling OF
the lamp chamber. These holes will
give plenty Of ventilation to the lamp
and are used as hand holes by which
to move the brooder about. Be sure
| these holes are at least one inch by
three inches, as the lamp confined in
so small a room makes a great amount
of heat and these will serve to take
off the surplus and keep the floor OF
| the chick chamber cool. A warm
brooder floor causes leg weakness.
Purchase a good galvanized tin
brooder lamp and a u hinge burn

when it gets warm and should never
be used. The flue of the lamp should

Directions For Modelling a Home
Made Brooder.

With a little mechanical ability and
a few ordinary tools a good brooder
may be made in spare moments out
of an ordinary large dry goods box.
Obtain a substantial box made Of
three-quarters to seven-eighth-inch
stuff and about two and a half by two
and a half by four feet. By glancing
at the illustration of the box you can
readily see the kind of box that is de-
sirable and how the box is sawed into
two parts. You will notice that one
part is larger than the other. The
larger part is used for the hover and,
on account of the lamp being under
meath the floor, necessarily must be
deeper than the scratching apart
ments. The large part should meas-
ure two and a half to three feet in
height on the higher side after the
box is sawed; the smaller part will
measure two feet in height on the
higher side. If the box you obtain
does not conform to these dimensions
saw the box in two proportionately.
AlIeI HAVING Sd"Su LIZ uOS VI vs.,
notice the illustration of the brooder,
showing the way the two parts are
then put together. The floor in the
larger or hover part is raised from
ten to twelve inches from the bottom
OF the box so the lamp may be placed
u~ndeu$the floor. The size of your
lamp Aould govern the height of the
floor from the bottom of the box. Two
or three inches, Of course, may be
counted off from the height of the
lamp, as the fiue will go up under the
tin heater that far and still burn well.
An incline is made the whole width
of the scratching apartment from the
floor of the hover floor to the scratch
ing floor. The floor in this part also
should be several inches from the
ground, to be high and dry and to

Alfalfa.

might well be treated under the two
heads, Seeding" and Harvesting"
80 very inclusive are these two phases
of tie subject. Without careful seed
Ing one cannot have a crop to harvest,
and without careful harvesting he
might almost as we'll not have a crop.
Both call for intelligence and pains
taking farming, and much patience
and hard work. But the rewards of
these virtues and labors are heavy

plant. If it is worth nine times as
much as timothy, it a well demand
a little more time and labor than
