A spout carries water also to a watering tank near by, where cattle and horses quench their thirst. The circular wood saw, the grindstone and the corn sheller, e, have been added In making the Illustration, as has also a water tank. This last is for use as .a reservoir In very cold weather, to supply water to a smaller drinking tank outside the building. The Water In this reservoir and In' the creamer can be kept from freezing In winter by placing a small stove, If nec essary, in the room. The stove would also be very useful at churning time and on washing days. Having ma- cbinery In a small house under tbe windmill does not prevent carrying the power by means of a chain, belt or tum bling rod, from the mill to other adja cent buildings. " Screening 'wheat, grinding, shelling, cutting feed or other operations can usually be more con veniently done near the storage rooms. The mill Is convenient to the kitchen and saves much labor in pumping water, churning, washing, etc. Cut Feed for Iloraca. All farmers use cut feed for horses when at hard work, because there la a great saving In the labor needed to di gest cut feed. If mixed with some grain meal and wet so that the meal can only be got by eating the cut feed mixed with It, the whole will be chewed suf ficiently to moisten It with eallva. which Is necessary to quicken diges tion. But Mils economy In feeding cut feed Is ulso Important when the horse Is not working. If the cut feed Is corn stalks, It should always be steamed with very hot water, so as to soften the cut ends of the stalks, which may cause Injury. This Is the best, also, If bay or straw Is cut, particularly wheat or rye straw, which, being harder than cut bay and less nutritious, is not likely, to be thoroughly chewed. Tbe stomach of the horse needs a slight Irritation. This Is the advantage which oats have over other grains. Ita hull helps the grain to digest better, and this makes tho horse feel frisky and able to do his best. It Is an, old saying of farmers that when an tld horse begins to act unusually coltish he has probably "got an oat standing corner wise agnlnst his stomach, and he Jumps around so as to get It out." It Is a homely Illustra tion, but may have truth In It. Ameri can Cultivator. Mutton Ja the Rest Meat.

A Western grange officer who has been traveling through the rural dis tricts, was Impressed with the careless hablta of many of the farmers. He eays: "I have been much over the coun try during the last two years, and when I see a plow standing In the corner of the fence, a binder under a tree, wag ons, carriages and Implements standing promiscuously about the yard. It al ways attracts my attention, and I have been very much surprised at the lack of care and thrift which a ride over the country will disclose." Ohio Far mer. Burying; pp'ea for Winter.

It Is generally a mistake for the farmer's boy to leave the farm, and In quite ns many instances It Is also a mis take for the old man to leave and move to town. It Is a mistake for the boy to think he knows as much as his father. The latter may not be tbe more Intelli gent of the two, but he at least has the benefit of a great deal of experience that tbe boy bas not acquired. i WILLIAM 8.

Francis Is appar ently recovering his health, however, and It is hinted that be was not Suffer ing so much from consumption as from blighted affection. He bas long wished to marry tbe Archduchess Stephanie, the widow of Crown Prince Falls Climbed by Fish. "Fish can and do manage to pass op stream over falls fifty feet ln height," observed an Investigator of tbe sub ject. "There are hundreds of well authenticated Instances of this In the Columbia rlvcv, in Oregon, 'where sal mon, which Is a salt-water fish, Is found above the falls In the fresh water. There Is no other way for them to get up tbe river except to use the falls as a kind of ladder, and they have been seen while making tbe ascent. By this I do not mean abrupt falls, but tne kind of falls generally seen on Western riv ers. The Great falls of the Potomac are an Illustration. Though there Is an artificial fish way there now, million of fish managed to get into the upper Potomac during their spawning season before the fishway was constructed."
