One OF the most remarkable work

kichi of Toxic. japan, who has carved
a figure in wood so like himself that

The figure is composed Of 10000
pieces OF wood. dovetailed and joint
ed with such wonderful skill that no
seams can be detected. Tiny holes
were drilled for the reception OF hairs
and eyelashes in which no dIssimilar-
ity to Massakichi's own can be de-
tected.

Some queer ways Of doing things
are expiainable, however. Do you
know, for instance, why a dog always
turns around two or three times be-
fore he lies DOWN. 1t is because his
remote ancestors. way back in the
prehistoric times, had to scratch
around in the leaves for a bed before
they could find a convenient place to
lie In.

Corn and grass hay Is a poor ration
for the horse and mule. 1t Is one
sided and cannot keep them in good
shape, and is expensive. If the hay is

the addition Of corn makes a very
good and economical feed.
But II grass hay must be used the
grain should be oats, or one-third
wheat bran, one-third corn and one
third oats. And the ration Of corn
and grass hay may be improved by
feeding from one to two pounds Of
cottonseed meal per animal per day.
But do not depend upon corn and

is placed sloping to the front. so that
the hay is constantly kept close to the

RACK AND LOADING DEVICES
Excellent for Handling Cattle, Hogs
or sheep--Height and Length
Can BE Varied.

The following Is given in response
to recent inquiry for plan Of a stock
rack, writes f. L. Marsh in the Farm,
Stock and Home. Figure Is a side
view of a rack suitable for handling
cattle, hogs or sheep. The length and
height can be varied for special rea-
son, but is about correct for general
use. The bottom will serve for a
wood rack. by using stronger timber.
A AKA FIR at each side and 2x4 in
the middle is strong enough for stock
The bottom Is boarded crosswise.
The sides are nailed or bolted to
hardwood stakes, fitting into medium
sized rack irons. Thus each side is
removable.
The end gates are held by cleats
and rods. as In common wagon box.
The rear end gate is shown in Fig. q.
A similar gate is placed back of the
low part. The front gate should be
tight. A seat may be placed on the
low part. resting on side irons. The
front compartment can be used for
calves, or In case OF full load the
middle gate can be removed.
Fig. shows a loading chute, placed
to connect with rear end Of rack. The
front end may be mounted on a pair
of old wheels. The height and pitch
should be suited to the height of the
wagon used. The bottom Of chute
should be cleated. so stock will not
slip. and the chute should be wider
at rear end.
Fig. shows a paddock which can
be set where most convenient. and
after the stock are driven into 1t can
be moved to the rear end OF chute.
