Now, in the beginning Justice was
wide awake and kept a strict eye on

Then Mercy tied the bandage

POOLING A MONKEY.
Playing Upon HI. Weak Points, Gu
riosity and Cowardice.

The superintendent OF a western
geological institution has taught his
employees to manage animals by
indirect methods, akin to those by
which nervous children are con
trolled by wise parents. a rhinoce-
ros had an obsccss in its face. The
question was, Did it come from a
bad tooth, or did it only need lane
ing? The superintendent simply
said to the keeper, "Giye him a
new birch broom" The rhino&oros
at once ate it, grinding up the bits
with great gusto. cab, you see lis
teeth are all right" said the snp-r-
intendcnt, and the next day the
a5scess was danced with q sharp bill
hook.
The diagnosis was as ingenious
as his method Of managing Billy, a
refractory chimpanzec. The big ape

largo monkey house instead Of re-
manning in a side room before the
risitors came. AS he knew he
would be caught and put back into
his W compartment at this hour,
sLc ape used to climb to the top Of
tuo other monkeys cages and re-
fuse to come down.
AS he could not be tempted with
FOOD, the superintendent appealed
to his mind by working on what he
had noted to be his weak points,
curiosity and cowardice.
The superintendent went to the
keeper and, touching him gently on
the shoulder, directed his attention

passage underneath the gas pipe

ing to point out some horrible IN
known creature, using an energetic
manner, but saying nothing except
words to this effect: "Look out!
There he is! There he is!' At the
same time the two men would peer
into the dark place under the gas
pipe.
The monkey on such occasions
would come down to see what the
subject of fear and interest was,
and just then the superintendent
and the keeper in unison would
shout, ''He's coming out, he's com
ing OUT" and would rush away in
the direction of BiLIy's cage. The
monkey would dash for the same
place Of safety, which happened to
be the door of his own house, and
sometimes enter it before them.

A hypochondriae friend of a Nan

An auction was announced of the

who went to the sale were many

dinner cups vas put up one woman
said, ''There are only five Of these,

Fresh feed, clean troughs and feed
ing floors, with comfortable quarters
will aid much In securing these re-
suits.
The young pigs should be fed at
least three times a day, but not an
excessive amount, and may be weaned
at six weeks, but eight weeks is pref
cradle. Many farmers allow pigs to
run with their dams for 10 or IL
weeks, which is possible where only
one litter is produced per year. It
is grood practise to allow a few Of
the smaller pigs to remain with the
sows, when the larger ones are
weaned, in order that the milk flow
of the sows may be dried off gradual
ly. If this is not convenient, the sows
should be turned In with the. pigs

How to Feed.

Scratching is of more importance
than feeding, and it is not necessary
to feed them more than twice a day,
as the noon meal usually satisfies the
fowls that they will not be inclined to
scratch and the exercise. The hen
that has to hustle for part of her
living will be laying eggs while the
overfed hen is serenely digesting her
food and quietly waiting for her own
er to bring more.
BY giving the hens just as much
food as they will relish in the morn
ing and scattering some small grain
In the litter, they will start scratch
ing and will keep 1t up until their
crops are filed.
At night they can be given all they
can eat OF acceptable foods, varying
as frequently as circumstances will al
low. With the variety of food OBJ
tainable In the summer time even for
confined fowls there is little excuse
for having overfed birds.

CUTTER Foa POULTRY FEED
Device Consists of Lawn Mower, Set
Up on Box or Table-clips as
Fine as Desired.

Having noticed several references
to the need for a fine feed cutter for
chickens green feed, give suggestion
OF simple homemade arrangement
that will cut clover and other like
green feeds as fine as desired, says a
writer in Rural New Yorker.
The arrangement consists of lawn
mower (any width of cut, set up on
box or table with cutter bar in per-
pendicular position, the machine being
held in position by stationary blocks
Fastened to cleats). front and back
of roller, also a block on floor with
wedge for placing. Back of the cutter
bar is the feed chute with side plates
at delivery end about eight inches
apart and with adjustable strip set
across for protection to the fingers
as well as to guide the grass. The
chute is nailed TO cleats which in
turn are fastened to box. Contact end
of chute sides are sawed out TO ra-
dus of cutter. IL is essential that
floor of chute at delivery end be same
height as cutting edge of bar. At the
delivery side of cutter an incline takes

the feed and delivers it into box or
basket on floor, or through floor or
partition to fowls if desired. Power
is applied through large wheel with
stem and loose hand grip, as in sharp
ening knives of mower. With a sub
stantial box arranged as above, the
mower may be set into blocks, the
floor wedge set up, handle introduced
in driving wheel and the appliance is
ready for business. In plant where
cut feed would be largely required, il.
would be we'll to set up IL or IA
to drive wheel an Is TO "a inch bal
ance wheel of 20 to % pounds weight,
and clamping this to drive wheel with
two U bolts about the corresponding
spokes. The driving wheel shaft
should be nearly the same height from
floor as elbow of operator. BEFORE
clamping the balance wheel tightly il
should be revolved in place and trued
by outside of rim to insure smooth
running The above will clip clover
as fine as sawdust, or as much coarser
as desired.

north then quarters warm enough to
prevent the chilling of the newborn
lambs are needed. Ventilation of
sheep sheds is necessary, but direct
drafts on the sheep must always be
avoided. The space should be about
ten square feet of floor surface for
each sheep weighing 100 pounds, or
10 square feet for each sheep weigh
ing $50 pounds. A barn or shed 20 by
40 feet will therefore be required for
a flock of 80 sheep weighing 100
pounds each. From Is to "a inches
rack space will be needed by each
sheep.
Following is a description of a barn
30 by 40 feet, which provides in a
most convenient way for storage
space for the hay and grain to be used
in feeding. The barn has solid walls
on three sides with the wall of the
lower story portable on the pasture
side, so that it can be thrown open
during the summer time, and serve as
a shade and shelter for the sheep from
the hot sunshine or from storm.
The feed and water troughs can be
either one above the other, or one
larger trough, may be partitioned off
to answer for both.
The grain bin is narrow, and the
full length of the building, to make

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF SWINE
Two Systems Now Commonly Used
for Housing Pigs, Both Having
Their Own Advantages.

There are two systems now COM
monty used for housing swine, the
central house system and the separ-
ate houses. Both have their advan-
tages and many farmers will do well
10 use both to a certain extent The
important factor In pig pens is to keep
the swine dry and free from drafts.
Damp beds and sleeping pens cause
trouble.
Cement floors are preferable for a
hog house, but sleeping pens should al
ways be overlaid with board floors.
AS a rule hogs should be fed outside
on a feeding floor. Inside feeding is
unsanitary and wasteful Of space,
even though it may be convenient.
WEAVING pigs is a very important
subject. If not properly weaned it
proves detrimental to both the sows
and the pigs. Pigs begin to eat when
four or five weeks old and 1t is al
ways best TO have them eating well
before weaving They can be fed to
the best advantage in a small pen
away from the old sows The pigs
will early learn to eat shelled corn
and a small quantity should always
be kept before them, either in a
trough or on clean spot on the feed
ing floor. When fed on a slop ra-
ton the dry corn they consume in ad-
dition appears to keep them from
securing. At this state of growth the
utmost care should be taken to keep
animals from getting off iced. They

softened, but not pasty, writes f. II.
Valentine of New Jersey in Garden
Magazine. Less meat is needed when
milk is fed regularly.
AS the chicks grow ! give at least
one feed a day consisting of a mixture
of bread soaked in milk, ground oats
with the bulls sifted OUT and corn
meal, with little bran or middlings
to make II crumbly. The milk must
be sweet, or else at the thick stage,
but | use nothing but sweet milk for
small chicks, unless 1t is scalded and
made into curds, when ii is excellent
for both hens and chicks. The great
est care must be taken to have all
the feed for the young chicks sweet;
under no circumstances should any

stuff must be supplied in the form OF
chopped cabbage, lettuce, or similar
vegetables. This must be fed daily.

chick feed contains meat in some
form. Pure clean water is neces-
sity.
