As a substitute for expensive brood ers, this device Illustrated In Farm and Home, will make a good home for enrly hutched chicks. It Is 2 feet square and about the same height In front, while behind It Is enough shorter to give the shed roof a nice pitch. Nearly the entire front Is glass, beueatb which Is a place for chicks to pass In and out. This can be closed when desired by a slide door as shown In the Illustration. A curtain Is let down over the sash dur ing the night and rolled up out of the way In the day time. It Is warmed by a common barn lantern which Is held In position by a square box, which ex tends through the roof, and also serves as a ventilator. The cap of the ven tilator is adjustable, permitting the lan tern to be taken out and put In at pleas ure. The ventilator Is perforated at the base to permit the hent to radiate through the room, aud also near the top to allow the gases from the burn ing oil to escape. The entire bottom Is arranged to slide In and out as a draw er, so it may be taken out nud cleaned, which should be done every day. It costs but a dollar or so, according to material used. Tb Corn ("run, Mr. J. .1. Chandler, of Solomon, Iowa, raised four thousand bushels of corn last season, and, after disposing of It, found It had netted him fifty-three and three-quarters cents per bushel.

Hogs were fattened with the cattle and brought In addi tional dollars, and the manure from the herd for the four months they were fattening Is also worth a good many dollars to Mr. Chandler's farm. It Is brains that count on the farm. Farm News. Movable Feed Rack. A sketch In the American Agricultur ist shows an easily made feed rack, " FEED RACK FOR LAMBS AND CALVES. that can be moved from place to place, with the work of but a moment. The construction Is plainly shown In the Illustration, nothing but narrow strips of board being used lu any part. The uprights at the ends are nailed firmly to the rack and have the lower ends sharpened, so that they can be driven into the ground wherever It Is desired to set up the rack. Tamp Weather and Ron p. There Is more roup In the spring months than In winter, due to spring rains and dampness. While the drafts of air in the poultry house may not be cold, yet they are damp and chilly, ren dering the fowls very uncomfortable. It is at night that fowls seem to take disease. During the day they are ac tive and at work, but at night they can not change their positions on the roost and are consequently helpless to avoid damp drafts of air. The longer dayt and warmth at midday Induce the fowls to remain outside during the spring season, and they consequently do not always resort to shelter In damp spells. It Is then that they are fre quently attacked by roup. A little ex tra attention nntil dry weather sets Id will greatly aid In preventing roup and the liability to disease. (Wd Potat-ea. At the Rhode Island Station four teen varieties of potatoes of Maine grown and borne grown seed were test ed during two years on sandy loam soil manured with commercial fertilizer! applied on a clover sod. Ten pounds of flnter Needs Underdralned Land. While the country Is new clover seed with a little land plaster Is sufficient usually to Insure a good catch. What Is quite as Important, the clover grows and makes a good stand, living until It has produced a seed crop, when aa clover Is biennial It naturally dies. But as the country gets older and Its veg etable matter Is exhausted by contin ued cultivation the clover crop become more and more uncertain. It Is hard to get a good catch, and even when the seeding Is all right the clover winter kills badly. Wherever this Is the fact It shows that underdraiutng Is needed Whoever has underdralned a field knows how much more certain the e'over seeding and growth Is there after. Wltu nn outlet below for water, aud warm air constantly rising from the subsoil. It Is easy to make a good seed bed for clover seed and get a good catch. The same conditions also pre vent the clover seed and get a good catch. The same conditions also pre vent the clover from being winter killed by freezing and thawing In win ter and spring. How to Graft. . Prepare yourself with a sharp knife, a small wedge, a saw, a ladder, clons and wax. Clous will keep best on trees. Cut oh wanted until the buds begin to start, thou cut. store In cellar covered with damp moss. You are now prepared to graft until apples set Graft cherries very early, splitting limb. All limbs must be Kid It before sun starts. After tne bark peels, nil thick-barked limbs should be set uu der the bark. Cut tree shape of urn brella. not too far In or out; give room for grafts to grow. Cut clou to a thin one-sided wedge; be careful and take the outer bark oil from point, then In sert, by peeling bnrk from wood with point of knife; cut side to heart, two or more lu each limb; nick bark back of clon If very thick; spread Wax on all cuts and a little down the limb back of clon. When limb Is split make a true wedge by cutting both sides, leaving side next to heart thinnest Have three buds to every clon. Trim the sides of the spilt smoothly. Insert, keep Inside bark even. Put on wax and It Is dono. Western Rural. Plantain Weed fVed. . When buying clover seed It is always best to use a microscope to detect weed seeds that of late years have become very plentiful In clover. No one of these weeds is worse than the plantain, or sheep's tongue, as it used to be called from its long, narrow leaves. It has Innumerable small, black seeds, much smaller than clover seed. When land Is once seeded with the plantain It Is almost Impossible to get rid of it, as the seed remains In the ground for years only germinating when the plow brings successive strata of seed filled soil to the surface. Both sheep and cattle will cat plantain, though It is less nutritious and palatable than other grasses, and of course much Inferior to clover. feeds in App' a. There Is great variutiou In number and size of apple seeds, even In- fruit ol the same variety. While the small nat ural fruit has usually the most vigor ous seeds, this fact Is often due to such trees being Isolated, and having larger supplies of potash and other mineral elements than do trees in the orchard. It is known that potash is necessary to grow the seed. It is possible that the liberal use of potash, as a fertilizer, may make fruit seeds plumper and p'r haps more numerous. This would only be an advantage to those who wished to plant the seed. In the fruit the seed and Its attendant, the core. Is common ly thought a necessary nuisance. Frequent Churning- Bent. It Is harder work to make the best butter from a one-cow dairy, especially late In the season, when the milk les sens. The best butter Is made with least expense when the dairy Is large enough to require churning every day. This makes a great deal of hard work, unless It Impels the dairyman 'o pro vide power of some kind, so is to re lieve the hard labor. This It gc-rerally does. Whenever the dairy is large enough to require churning every day, a creamery or a separator vlll jay. not only by the saving of labor, but of making more of the cream than Is pos sible by the old process of hand skim ming the milk. Apropos of the gossip about Queen Victoria's 111 health, Elwln Barron re peats ii the Chicago Times-Herald the rumor that the Trlnce of Wales will never ascend the British throne. Al bert Edward hicks ambition and ener gy, and many think be has by the con duct of his life forfeited the right to succeed a sovereign of such noble char acter as Victoria. Op the other band, the Duke of York Is very popular, and It Is predicted that Victoria will abdi cate this year and be will become King George the Fifth of England. He Her hair Is like sunshine!

Fouled bandages were the rule, and the thicker aud more abundant the dis charges the more "laudable" tbey were considered to be. Hence Iu the older works on surgery the so-called "lauda ble" pus was as much a slgu of safety as It Is now of danger. Cleanliness of Instruments, now a prime considera tion, was then entirely Ignored. Often times the same instruments would be used at different times upon the dead as well as the living body, and a cele brated operator of that day was accus tomed to hold his knife between his teeth when his bands were temporarily employed ID the wound. If a cut heal ed rapidly it was a rarity sufficiently great to court fact The former result was rather an accident of cleanliness than the deliberate acknowledgment of what shoulu have been the rule. Con sequently the most careful surgeons those who possessed Instinctive hnlilts of neatness and cleanliness were the mcst successful. The Probability. "Does your wife worry about burg lars?"
