back Of the hopper. The top of the
box should be fastened with hinges to
form a lid. The top Of box should be
removed and slanted inward so as to
leave a narrow space at bottom for
the mash to run out. The ends of the
box should be sawed to suit the slant
ing board. The lower side Of the box
should be fixed to hold the mash by
mailing inch pieces around the edge.
The box can be filed with the mash,
giving the chickens a chance to eat
what they desire. This will prove
beneficial in the laying season.

TO MAKE COLTS PROFITABLE
Every Farmer Should i4ave Number
Of Young Horses Growing and
Coming for Use and Sale.

In spite Of the electric car, the au-
horses have increased in price COM
mensurate with other farm animals.
Every farmer should have a number
of young horses growing and coming
on for home use and for sale.
A colt can be grown as easily and
cheaply as calf, and at the same
time the mare which mothers it will
make half team for general farm
work. The writer has team Of
young mares of nearly the same size
and age. During the past season one

least SIS, while the other mare work.
ing by her side has reared none. The
mare with the colt has done exactly
the same work as the mare which
has no colt and now at the close Of
the early summers work she is in as
good condition as her mate, with both
on the same feed and care.
A colt, Of course, is some bother
and consumes some feed. The same
is true in growing any domestic ami
mails. But with little patience in
the handling Of the mare and foal, a
mare doing general farm work should
raise two colts every three years and
do about as well as with none The
colt will represent at least 100 per
cent profit on the money and labor in
vested in it.
In fact, so little extra care and feed
are required that the young animal
can be grown without noticing the
feed it consumes

Windows in Poultry House.

Put the windows in the poultry
house low down to the floor, so that
the hens will get the benefit of the
light and sunshine when scratching for
their feed. The trouble with windows
set high up, is that they let the sun
shine in on the perches when the hens
are on the floor scratching, and when
they are not on the roost the sun
doesn't shine, so there is no equi-
librium in such plans.

and keep it from leaking. Ii an iron
washer is placed beneath the nut it
will be a simple matter to tighten
the nuts if occasion demand it. The
old irons from a wagon box are just
the things to use for this purpose,
If the fiat irons are attached with
small bolts they will hold better than
if put on with screws or nails.

Sheep Raising.

Sheep rearing has been one Of
mans most profitable and important
occupations since the very early
times, but it is not known whether
the present breeds of sheep had their
origin in the wild species now known,
or whether they come from species
now extinct.
1t is only in comparatively recent
years that very general attempts have
been made to improve the known
breeds Of sheep, and in making such
improvement the farmers of America
have devoted their principal attention
to the fleece, while those Of Canada
and Britain pay more attention to car
cass.

BEEF SUPPLY OF THE FUTURE.
Perhaps No More Important Subject
is Pressing Upon American Far
ner Than Live Stock.

Another phase in western farm
economy which is pressing for solu-
ton has to do with our future beef
supply. The ranges are rapidly going
out of business, for the double reason
that the settlers have SO encroached
as to reduce the available area, and
because the class Of beef formerly
produced on the range is no longer
in demand.
In the present range country from
30 to 40 acres is required for the

There is nothing better than soda

well. Dose, teaspoonful to each af-

EXCELLENT FOR PIG TROUGH
Handy Device Can Easily Be Put To
gether to Prevent Leaking by
Warping or Knocking About.

Here Is a handy device for making
pig trough that I noticed on a
neighbours farm. The trouble with
most wooden pig troughs is that they
will get to leaking after a short perioc
in use caused by their being wrenched
from the hogs roofing them about or
by reason of warping.

of a piece of fiat iron on one end

One Good Mutton Breed.

Mutton sheep should never be of
mixed breeds on one farm. Get one
good mutton breed, stick to it and de-

A lot OF mixed lambs never bring the
highest price on the market. It is
those of one breed, uniform in size,
shape and condition that get the big

.Vetches for Sheep.

Vetches make excellent fodder for
sheep either as soiling crop or as
cured hay. They may also be pas

Kill the small weeds and there will
be no big ones.
Chicks raised in breeders are not
bothered with lice.
Grass was never more welcome to
COWS than this spring
Broiler prices are somewhat better

It is we'll to assume when chickens
are dying that the disease is conta-
gious.
Put a Slated frame over the drink

cleaner.
The early spring chicken catches
the good price. Raise early spring
chickens.
Plant good seeds. Poor seeds are
dear, no difference what price you pay
for them.
Get the incubator at work on the
broiler crop as early as possible. De-
lay means loss.
No incubator can make good
matches from poor eggs, that is, those
lacking in fertility.
More incubator matches are spoiled
by the anxiety Of the operator than
from any other one cause.
Lard, vaseline and enough sulphur
to make a paste makes good rem
edy for sorehead in chicks.
Vegetables delight in having warm,
deep, rich and mellow SOIL and will
pay generously for the privilege.
Lice feed on the young chickens
that is one great reason that they fail
to make the growth they should.
Carefulness in dressing poultry
pays for the extra pains taken. The
pin feathers must all be removed.
There is genuine satisfaction in own
ing thoroughbred stock and they cost
no more to feed. Go in for the best.
Worry along without trap nest,
but keep your eyes open for the best
layers, and set their eggs next spring.
A little ground charcoal mixed

will help keep away digestive troubles.
Three rules for success in garden

With reasonably good seed and a

It Is claimed by some onion grow
ers that carbolic acid emulsion gives
satisfactory results in fighting the

Nitrate of soda is the most quickly
available source of nitrogen for plants,
but buyers should steer clear Of low

Crimson clover makes fairly good
ensilage, but, like all plants rich in pro-
tein, it develops strong and rather
Objectionable odor.
Government reports state that more
up-to-date agricultural machinery has
been sold the last ten years than dur

It is not safe to pasture either cat
tie or sheep on alfalfa, as they are IL
able to bloat when it is fed green.
Feed them the hay or practice soiling.
