Drinking Trough for Sheep in Water Tank.

Frequently a simple method Of wa
tering stock will mean much on
many farms, especially where horses,
cattle and sheep drink from the same
trough. Large tanks do not permit
sheep to drink unless the tank is full,
therefrom, If cattle and horses lower

quarter of half full, the sheep will be
unable to reach it. The illustration
shows a convenient addition, says the
Orange Judd Farmer. This will be
found of great value where either wa
ter is pumped by hand, by gasoline en-
CINE or wind power ..s.. r..
A small trough is sent in the end in
to which the water is pumped, and as
It overt1ows it runs into the larger
tank. A raised platform at this end
will make it possible for sheep to
reach into the tank Where hand

BEST WAY TO
TOP DRESS GRAIN
Rhou1d be Done During the Fall
Months to Afford Proper
Protection for Roots
of Crop.

II grain is to be top dressed, tho
work should be done in the fall, as it
ls very necessary to have the grain
deep-rooted with sufficient top to pro-
tect the roots. Haul and spread direct
from wagon or cart when the ground
Is dry enough to haul over. The ma
nure should be fine and well rotted.
Clean, mellow ground should be
seeded to grass at the time Of drilling
and sown to clover in the spring. The
early seeded grain nearly always gives
the best yield. Rather thin land
drilled to grain should be top dressed
with long strawy manure. If manure
cannot be had spread straw or leaf
mold from the woods. A thin cover
and when rotted will help to keep the
soil moist and cool during the hot
weather. Straw is worth fully $3.50
to $500 per ton to spread over the
grain. All straw not wanted for feed
ing and bedding should be used for
top-dressing grain and grass Where
the land is not too rolling and the
SHOWS are not too heavy, there is no
better way to use the winter manure
than to haul it out, and when. the
weather is suitable and the ground Ia
In condition to haul over and spread
it on either the grain or grass fields.
Much of the value of manure is vast
ed when it is piled in the yard, ex-
posed to heavy rains and SHOWS.
There is little loss when spread over
sod land.

fence it would be necessary to pump
the tank nearly full in order that
sheep might reach the water, whereas
by this method they will be able to
drink at once. The same is true in
the use Of wind power. AS soon as the
pump begins to work. the sheep have
access to the water.
This method is used with great
success in Conedale farm in Winona

source is a large spring and the power

rams work night and day, year in and

NEED OF LIME
ON SOME SOILS
There Is but One Sure Way Of
Making Known the Fault
and That Is by Prac.
teal Trial. ts

There is only one sure way of de-
tc1miniEg whether soil needs lime
and that is by trial. An application
Of lime over a whole field would be a
waste of both time and money if the
field were not in need of such an APP
plication. It is suggested that the
farmer who has not already proved
for himself whether his soils need
lime would better conduct few sim
pie experiments at different points on
his farm
A few barrels of lime or few tons
of limestone would not cost great
deal and the labor Of treating a strip
with lime or ground limestone here
and there across different fields in
which crops were to be grown or so
treat a small area here and there, at
different points in the fields in which
crops are to be grown, would involve
but small amount of labor. These;
areas should be very carefully located
and marked and the results Of the ap-5
plications should be carefully studied
on the succeeding crops. It is pos
sible that the effects. good and bad
may be. easily apparent, It is pos
sible that the effects can be discov-s
cred only by carefully cutting and
weighing the crops from portions 81
the treated areas and comparing them
with the crops reduced upon equal
