There are two popular ways IN

stationary houses are used. 1t is cas-.
Ter, however, to keep the birds healthy

Under the colony system. the birds

which hold about n hundred hens
each. being placed from two hundred
to two hundred and fifty feet apart,
SO that the stock will not kill the
grass. This system may be adapted
to severe winter conditions by drawing
the colony houses together in a con-
venient place at the beginning of win
ter, thus reducing the labor during
the cold months. The first system Is
more suited for hens used solely for
the production Of market eggs than
for those used to breed stock. Fl

The average farmer wants some

saying is. l should say from 1900 to
1,400 pounds-a team well built with
some snap and spirit, one that the
owner or the hired man will hold the

horses some years ago.. One man
drove them c~onsecutively for nine
years hauling cord-wood in the sum-,

horses were by sires who had alb
eral strain of thoroughbred blood in
their veins. r. - .
They did farm work regularly until
corn was laid by. then they were
put to hauling on the road. They
were true and stanch draft horses.

For a large porch, with plenty Of
room, a few dwarf nasturtiums may
take the place of the sweet alyssum.
Other flowers suitable for boxes are

STRAW MAKES GOOD BEDDING
Animal to Do Well and Make Profit.
able Gains for its Owner Must Be
10 Kept Comfortable.

. Too much of our good, hard-earned
money expended for feed for our farm
animals goes to waste on account OF
lack OF plenty Of good bedding. Feed
10 an essential thing in %fattening our
animals for market and bedding Is an
other essential. Some of US are good
feeders when it comes to giving our
animals plenty of the different foods
we use in the fattening process, but
fall down in the bedding end of the
business. 4 -
To make an animal do we'll we must
make it comfortable. This we can't
do without plenty Of the right kind OF
bedding, no matter how generously
we pour out the corn, oats, etc. we
believe that this is particularly true
at this eason OF the year. The worst
OF the winter is past; we are busy
curing for the spring crop Of pigs and
calves, and the weather seems nice
and warm. The cattle in the fatten-
ing lot are doing all right, and the fat
hogs seem to be doing their best To-
morrow. may be a wet, raw day, yet
not very cold. We forget that It Is
a time when these animals need bed
ding just as badly as they did in the
middle o f$the winter. !
We believe that many dollars are
lost in the feeding by overlooking the
matter Of bedding even later in the
season. Our cattle in the fattening
lot are very often compelled to lie
down in the mud or stand up. The
spring rains in connection with the
going out OF the frost make feed
yards damp and muddy. A good load
or two Of straw in the right place IN
the feed yard will save us many dol.
lars, even up until the middle of May.
Well does the writer remember. in
the spring of 1889, stopping planting
corn for half a day to haul bedding
for our f%attening cattle. We believe
that no bedding we gave these cattle
in the winter did more good than
did this. -
Too many of us, about this time Of
the year, are burning up some straw
piles to get rid of them. This is sure
ly a mistake. We must get out of the
habit Of burning straw. 1t answers
two purposes when used for bedding.
1t provides the animal comfort and
makes manure. which is very useful
on any farm. Don't burn the straw.
Save 1t and make your animals com
Portable and yourself money.

By MRS, C. w. JENNINGS.

During the early spring months I
'emptied the wood ashes. from the
cooking stove, over the ground that, I
intended to use for flowers. When
the time for planting came, I had q
trench dug, which l half filed with
ashes. Over the ashes I threw an
inch or two of soil, and planted sweet
peas, covering them one inch. In a
few days they were up and such vines
as I had! .When'they were six inches
high I laid cedar brush along one side
of them. They grew five and six feet
tall and gave quantities of lovely flow
ers all summer. ~ z
F., l fertilized them onc a week with
soap suds, and hoed them three or
four times during the season, each
time drawing the dirt about them, but
never making a narrow ridge for
them to grow in. When this Is done
they dry out too much. and do not
bloom we'll.
.Nasturtiums, also, shared the same
treatment except that I did not give
them SO many ashes. I kept the fiow-
ers picked from both the sweet peas
and the nasturtiums. Soap-suds is the
