and after cementing the inside, |
used rocks for front wall the same as

bank.
The top of the cellar was ceiled over

the roof. A door was supplied with
a window hinged in; also, screen

canned fruit. Long, narrow bins hold
potatoes, beets, etc, on one side; the
other side is lined with broad shelves,
one foot apart for apples. A sprinkle
of sand on the shelves and layers OF
sand in the bins, prevent fruit and
vegetables from spelling. Pumpkins
and squashes are set around on top
of shelves Nothing ever freezes, and
but few vegetables rot or decay.

Reducing Farm Expences.

The farmer who begins the new
year with the intention of reducing eX-
penses will find many opportunities
for so doing, and will also be surprised
at the end of the year at the many
avenues for allowing the loss. One
cause of the loss is the neglect of farm
wagons and implements An account
kept of the cost OF repairs will show
that quite large sum goes In that di-
rection, much of which could be saved.
The use of more oil on tools, and keep
ing them sharp and in the best cond!.
ton for use, will save labor, which Is
an item that must be paid for. Too
many Improbable animals, however,
cause more loss than anything e'sa,
and the farmer should begin the new
year with sufficient courage to thin
out the hocks and herds so as to re-
tain only the best and most profitable.

A GreeIy in Music.

Illegible handwriting, which has
given rise to so many comedies, led to
a tragedy in the case of Bacher, a mu-
sical enthusiast of the last century,
who devoted several years to the com
position of history of Viennese mu-
sic His task finished, he submit
ted the manuscript to the Austrian I'M
perial academy, which he had been led
to believe would defray the cost OF its
publication. After three months his
manuscript was returned; despite their
best efforts the members had been un-
able to decipher it. Bacher then en-
deavored to have his work copied !;
but every professional copyist who un'
dertook the ask had to confess him
self baffled. He thereupon attempted
debating the work, only to find that
even he could not decipher it; and,
heartbroken at the discovery that his
years of toll had proved fruitless, he
attempted suicide, and finished his
days in lunatic asylum.

CHANGE THE VIBRATION
It Makes For Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, po-
tatoes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and cup of
Postum.
His health began to improve at
once for the reason that meat eater
will reach place once in while
where his system seems to become
clogged and the machinery doesn't
work smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside
food of low nutritive value and takes
up food and drink of the highest
value, already quickly digested and
capable of being quickly changed into
good, rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate Of pot
ash grown in the grains from which
1t is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen In the body into
soft gray substance which fills brain
and nerve centres.
A few days use Of Grape-Nuts will
give one a degree Of nervous strength
we'll worth the trial.

About Meriro Sheep,

A theory was prevalent in Spain ear.
ly in the last century that the super.
iority of the wool of Merino sheep was
due to their annual migration, and
that if they remained stationary for IA
few generations 1t would become as
coarse as that of the Andalusian sheep,
says the London Live Stock World.
Mr.. Jacobs, NJ. p, F.. r. s., who Wis
tied Spain in 1909 and 1910, found this
belief to be general, and says that az
that time the Merino fiocks invariably
passed the summer in the northern
mountains, returning to the warmer
climate and richer pastures of the
south of Spain for the winters. In
April they began the journey nortn-
ward, and as the time approached they
became restless, and if not closely
watched would begin the journey
alone; instances having frequently oc.
Cured of flocks proceeding several
leagues northward early in the morn
ing before the attendant shepherds
were awake. Shearing began the mid.
die Of May, the shearing of eight ewes
or five rams being considered good
days work. AS soon as the flocks ar
rived at their summer quarters they
were allowed as much as they would
eat-the quantity allowed for the five
summer months being about two and
one-half pounds for each sheep-this
rock salt was laid on fiat stones, and
the sheep lisked it as they passed from
fold to pasture. At the end of July
the rams were placed with the ewes in
the proportion of six to 100. Rams
were considered the more profitable,
as though their wool was not so fine,
the fleece was heavier, and they were
longer lived

Making Cider Vinegar.

This receipt for making cider vine
gar, although necessitating consider
able labor, seems so near practical
common sense that it is suggested
readers store it in the scrapbook for
reference next season. An Indiana
writer tells about it in the Rural New
Yorker:
will give you my way of making.
! have been making cider vinegar for
twenty years. When the apples are
getting ripe, we gather all the fallen
ones and bring them to the shed.
When we have eight or ten bushels,
one of two persons cuts every apple
in two; cuts out all the rotten and
worms, and discards all we think will
not make good cider (worms, rotten or
green apples will not make good vine
gar). We clean our barrels thorough
ly, lay them down on a platform near
the press with spigot in each; these
are filled full as we make the cider.
In fall, before freezing, we draw of
this spigot to each barrel. There will
be from one to two bucketfuls of set
things in each barrel, which we throw
away. When spring comes, about
April !, we draw off the cider and
put in clean barrels. under an open
shed filing the barrels within four or
five bucketfuls. Then my wife makes
me fresh yeast, of which put one to
lone and a half pints into each barrel,

Farm Notes,

Never let prompt horse work with

down his feed.
1t is a good plan to have a pair of
well bred mares to make up the extra
farm team for the light work. The
colts dropped after fly time are "clear

Keeping the cattle interested and
happy, is the condition sought after
by successful stockmen. These condi-
tions apply especially to the dairy
herd.
Hogs require less attention than
any other farm animal, yet they yield
the biggest returns from money in
vested in them than any other farm
animal.
Roots are a valuable succulent feed
for hogs in winter and are greatly
relished. Sugar beets or mangels
should be stored for the brood sows
and fall pigs.
Make up your mind that you will
not let the calves get stunted. Keep
them growing. They will be better
cows, and better COWS are what we
are all working for.

is never good plan to discard good
