. - .,' i,,.. 7 ... . n. A Tile Well. A convenient nnd chimp watering place for stock In pastures, nwuy from the burn, through which tllo tlrnlnt run, uiny be iniido for a considerable part and ofteu the whole season lu the following manner: Three or four feet from the main dralu dig a hole deep enough so that two barrels may be placed one on top of the other, the top of the lower one coming about lev el with the bottom of the mnln tile: this position for the lower barrel will brilng the upper one usually a few Inches above the top of the ground. Connect the main tile to lower barrel with a few lateral tile of small size laid on slight Incline and passing through the side of the barrel. Through these side tile the water will run from the uialn drain and keep the lower bar rel nearly full of water at all times when there Is the least flow lu the main drain. Remove the bottom of top barrel before putting In position. Bet ter not use salt barrels for the top ones, as stock will destroy them more or TUB TIMS WKI.I.. less; kerosene bnrrels well burned out are excellent. A pump mny be used In this well or the water easily dipped with a pall by the hand or with a short pole. This arrangement prevents any refuse matter getting Into the main drain, and If the well Is covered none can get Into it. Farm and Fireside. All About Be Hive. In the first place, It is well known that the common or black bees do not Increase-to such an extent under the same conditions as do the Itnlian bees. The honey senson has also much to do with it. During a scarcity of honey bees will not Increase so rapidly as if the honey flow was heavy. Also, the size of the hive has much to do with the control of swnrming. If nbun dauce of room Is given black bees for storage, they will seldom swarm nt all, even In the best of honey seasons. Tlenty of storage room has much to do In controlling the swarming of Italian bees, but they are more liable to swarm than blacks. It is very Import ant to have beehives Just the right size, even If they nre made old box fashion. A very large hive will never produce good results any way you take It. Hives should be made sectional, and If nt any time more room is needed add another section. The required size, as given In our standard works. Is about 2,000 cubic inches. Kansas Farmer. Pretty Brood 'ntr Coop. F. L. Landon, of Willlnmsport, Pa., Is one of the enthusiastic fanciers who believes that nothing is too good for hia chickens. The illustration shown Is that of one of his brooding coops, a most palatial affair for an old hen and her brood. It is handsomely made and painted in the highest style of the art, provided with ventilating blinds and ground glass windows. While It hi doubtful If the chicks so reared are any better than those who spend their chlckenhood in a dry-goods box, Mr. Iandon has. at least, the satisfaction of knowing thnt his chicks are well Bnoomso COOP. protected and comfortably boused In the prettiest brooding coop to be found. Jnd?fnr n br I Hnir. As an Indication of the quality of a pig, the hair Is made of much value to the breeder or feeder. Fine, silky hair Is an indication that the flesh will be fine-grained and of good quality. Coarse, stiff hair Is invariably found on an animal slow to fatten and with coarse flesh. The shrewd feeder and the shrewd breeder will reject an ani mal with coarse hair; such hair usually accompanies a bad disposition. Star ing hair indicates an unhealthy condi tion of the body. By studying the pe culiarities of the hair of live stock mnch of the Internal structure and of the disposition of the animal may be learned. Capacity of Hina and Wasrona, Every boy around the farm of suita ble age should be taught how to figure out the number of bushela of wheat .T -v Hi,. and outs In the bin and how much the wagon box will hold. A wngou box ten feet long, three feet wide and twenty-five Inches dpep will hold 127.8 bushels of ear corn or 50.2 bushels of shelled corn. A crib ten feet wide, ten feet high and sixteen feet loug will hold . 711 bushels of ear corn. Of ear corn one bushel Is contained In two and a quarter cubic feet. In figuring shelled corn und grain the same space will hold one ami four-nfths times as milch grain as It will of ear corn. A crib that will hold 800 bushels of ear corn will hold of shell corn or other grain 1,440 bushels. Stockman and Farmer, Making the Poll Peeper. Though the farmer may not want to plow deep for spring crops he always likes to have soil as deep as possible. It Is nn advantage to topdress even though only poor soil Is used to do it with. We have known, the soil dug from deep wells and spread over ad joining land to greatly help the soil uftec a year or two. This subsoil was rich lu mineral fertility, though of course It had little or no vegetable matter. After It had been exposed to frost one or two winters It produced good small grain crops, though manure was needed when corn, potatoes or oth er hoed crops were planted on It. Ex change. Dandelion Green. Every housewife knows that dande lion greens are excellent for the table, and none the worse because they are slightly tonic to the stomach and aid digestion. But all do not know that the dandelion under good cultivation grows much lnrger than lu Its wild state, and Is therefore much more eas ily gathered, cleaned and prepared for tlje table. It Is considerably grown for greens by market gardeners, who And It a fairly profitable crop. Probably If farmers planted the Improved varieties of dandelion they could Und a good market lu nearby cities or village along with other produce. Unevenly Matched Team. It was an old command of the Mo. sale law not to yoke the ox and the ass together. This was not by any menus an arbitrary rule. It had sound reason behind It. The slow ox and the quicker nss could not pull true, and neither could do its best when tbu coupled. Whenever teams travel un evenly there Is constnnt Jerking th yoke from one side to the other, caus ing galls that soon requite a long period of rest to heal. When the team is matched so that it will pull true. II will do more work, and without eithei animal In the team being Injured. Barbed Wire Keel. The reel Is made up of two cultivatoi wheels, a 3x3 inch timber for an axle handles, uprights, braces, etc., put to gether as shown In the illustration. One person guides the reel by holding the handles while another turns the crank. Orange Judd Farmer. Tnmntor-a Grown by the Acre, Many farmers now find the tomato a fairly profitable crop. They, require moderately fertile land, but not so rich as the vines find In ordiuary garden culture. Very rich land mukes too much foliage and delays ripening of the fruit. It Is not expected, however, thnt Held tomatoes shall be earliest lu niarket. More often their best sale romps late In the season, when there Is demand even for the unripe fruit to be made into pickles with other vegetable products or tne garden. An Ingenious statistician has drawn up a table to show how many eggs tue various kinds of domestic fowls lay per annum, nnd how many of the eggs go to the pound: Ueese, 4 to the pound; 30 per annum.

Foreigners who visit Berlin will do well to observe that rule of etiquette which precludes a person when out driving or riding from passing people of high rank. Thus, a stranger, an American. It It said, was arrested the other day In the Thlergarten, for having ventured to drive past the carriage conveying th. young Crown Prince and his brother on their dally drive. The royal vehicle was proceeding at a relatively slow pace, and, as the stran ger was driving a pair of spirited hors es, he saw no barm In driving past and head of the Prince. .

A reporter recently oalled at this fa mous scat of learning und was shown into the room of the president, Prof. Alvin P. Barnubv. When last seen by the reporter Prof. Barnaby was in deli cate health. Today he was apparently in the best of health. In response to an inquiry the professor said: "Oh, yes, I am much better than for some time. I am now in perfect health; but my recovery was brought about in rather a pecnliur way." "Tell me about it," said the reporter. "Well, to begin at the beginning," said the professor, "I studied too hard when at school, endeavoring to eduoate myself for the professions. After com pleting the common course I came hern, and graduated from the theological course.
