The greatest fuel economy In the kitchen stove which consumes aoft con I cuu be had with frequent replen lsbluir and In small amount France keeps fifteen times as many sheep as the United States, and this fact bus without doubt much to do with the thrift and wealth of the French people. A piece of furin machinery left out In ull kinds of weather will do well If It lusts five years. Its term of use fulness may be trebled If It Is housed properly when not being used. The feeding of beef steers appears to be a good deal less of a speculation with corn at 30 cents and beeves afoot worth 7 cents than it was with corn at 00 cents and steers at 10 cents. A Minnesota lud of the name of Vernon Adams raised an acre of corn the past year which yielded 113.5 bush els, aud this In spite of the fact that Minnesota U not In the corn belt Give old Rlddy two or three weeks of tine weather most any time during the winter and she'll do more to smash a corner in the egg market than any antl-moBoioly legislation that could be adopted. A sprig of parsley, rooted and started in a pot and given a place with the other house plants, not only makes an attractive foilace. but will furnish garnishing for the salads and cooked dishes during the winter. While the donor Is not a member of the purty which elected Governor Wil son as president. William Galloway, the big Waterloo (la.) manufacturer, has announced that he will give a $5,000 cow to President Wilson to sup ply his household with pure milk. Not only the furniture of the home, but the hands and faces of its Inmates, will be in better condition for keep ing a dish of water simmering on the hard coal stove or a pail of It suspend ed from the furnace register. The ket tle on the kitchen stove answers the purjHJse there. A scientist. Professor Granger, who has been making geological explora tions in Wyoming, has discovered the remains of what he claims Is the lar gest bird that ever frequented theAmer lcnti continent. The bird is supposed to have Inhabited the country some time about 3.0(K).000 years ago. Invariably a flock of hens will seek that' spot In their yard during cold weather which is sheltered from north winds aud which 19 also exposed to the' sun. These are the chief advan tages of the scratching shed and are practically a necessity if one Is to get eggs during the winter months. A full grown rat will consume a dol lar's worth of grain and vegetables In the course of a year and oftentimes de stroy or ruin In the same period prop erty of many limes the amount men tioned It Is because of this fact that the rat campuign Is a vital and impor tant one aud that every one who can should have a hand In it Somebody has predicted the early collapse of the corner on eggs and that by Feb. 1 they will be retailing at 10 cents per dozen. Of course this Is somo consumer's pipe dream, but the unload ing, of a Blather of coid storage eggs In Chicago the other day at a loss of 2 cents per dozen from the purchase price would seem to indicate that the business has been overdone nod that by the date mentioned the storage fel lows will be running for cover. The making of milk from hay by what Is called the synthetic process has not been developed to the point where the person who has laid by a little savings fund would be Justified In buying stock In any company pur porting to manufacture the new prod uct Fellows who are engaged In the selling of such stock are not half so much Interested In making milk out of hay its they are In getting hard cash out of blue sky nnd gullible suckers. Better steer shy of them. SILAGE FOR PREGNANT EWES. While com slluge has been recog Ulzed as an excellent as well as eco nomical rutiou for the beef steer aud dairy cow, not until recently hus It come to be viewed as a valuable part of the ration for breeding ewes. Some feeding exieriments conducted by the Iowa station along this line during the winter of 1011-12 will be of Interest to furiuers who have a flock of sheep and silage, but who have not yet got the two together In a feeding trough. Iu the experiments conducted forty-eight ewes were divided as to general' con dition, Including breeding, thrift and weight. Into four equal lots. Lot 1 was fed clover hay and shelled corn; lot 2, alfalfa hay and shelled corn; lot 3, clover hay, corn silage and shelled corn; lot 4, corn silage and shelled corn. All the ewes had a blue grass pasture in the fall and were giv en besides a fairly liberal allowance of corn and cottonseed meal. Tbey were divided Into the separate lots on Nov. 15 a" given the rations men tioned above. At the end of the feed ing period It was found that the ewes In the four lots bad made practically identical gains. It was found that, while the lot of ewes fed corn and corn silage produced fewer lambs than the other three lots, the lambs weigh ed more at birth and were also strong er. It was found that the alfalfa com bination produced stronger lambs than the clover and that silage and clover fed together did not give as good re sults as either one alone. the chief advantage of the silage-corn ration given to lot No. 4 seems to be found In its cheapness, as it cost 1.00 cents per ewe per day, while the ration giv en lot No. 1 cost 2.47 cents; lot No. 2, 2.74 cents, and lot No. 3, 2.03 cents. Those in charge of the experiments are of the opinion that the corn-sllage ra tion might be made more ellicient and economical If a small amount of oil meal or cottonseed meal were added to it. The modified ration would also tend to produce stronger lambs. TO GET CAPACITY OF ROUND CRIBS. Some of our readers may have round slut corneribs, the contents of which they would like to measure. The first step in getting the desired result is to ascertain the coutents In cubic feet. This Is got by multiplying the diam eter by itself, this by the decimal frac tion .7So4 and the product by the depth of the corn in the erlb. For illustra tion, suppose one wished to find the number of bushels in a circular crib having a circumference of sixty-four feet and a depth of nine feet. To get the diameter divide the circumference by 3.1410, the result being 20.3 feet Squaring or multiplying this by ltselt gives 412.00 squnre feet and multiply ing this by .7854 gives 323.C5 as the area of the crib. The contents are then obtained by multiplying the area by the depth, nine feet, which gives 2.012.S0 cubic feet. A bushel of corn containing a good deal of moisture Is usually estimated at 2.5 cubic feet, and dividing the total contents in cubic feet by this figure gives 1,105.15 as the number of bushels in the crib. The same formula will give the contents of any circular crib where the circum ference and depth are known. BALANCED RATIONS FOR FOLKS. We hear a good deal about balanced rations for cattle, hogs and sheep, but mighty little altout balanced rations for humau beings, yet the question is one of vital Importance. There are thousands upon thousands of folks in America nnd the number is immeasur ably greater In Europe and the orient -w'ho lack in strength and vitality and power to work simply because they do not have a sufficient amount of food of the proper nutritive ele ments. In many such cases folks are listless and lifeless and do not real ize whnt Is the matter with them. Likely the trouble Is due to too much fat and heat producers and not enough bone and muscle formers. The writer knows of a number of families In which niemlH'rs are dumpy or un strung nnd nervous when what is needed Is not more tonic, but more eggs, fresh milk, beef, beans, cheese and fish, all of which articles are high in protein content These foods cost money, but in the long run they are cheaper than too much in the way of sweets aud pastries of one kind and another, with doctors' bills tacked on. There should bo chnrcoal before the hogs nil the time. The supply may he mado from corncobs. These niny be burned In a pit. which should be three or four feet wide, three feet deep nnd eight or ten feet long. A lond of cobs should be put In the pit and set nil re. As soon as they nre well ablaze the pit should be covered with strips of sheet lr n nnd the cracks covered with earth so ns to exclude the air. In n day or two the pit mny be uncov ered nnd a supply of charcoal will be ready for use. FOR THE ICE SUPPLY. It Is time to make plans for next summer's supply of Ice, nnd the prep arations need not he elaborate. Where the Ice Is taken from a body of pure water It may be used In summer drinks, but the supply need not be from a pure water supply to be useful for purposes of refrigeration. While sawdust Is preferable for a packing material, fine chopped straw or hny or chaff from the haymow will answer the purpose very well. The building chosen for the Icehouse should be so situated that it can be drained easily. In pncklng the ice a space of eighteen Inches or two fett should bo left be tween the txuly of tco cakes and the sides of the building, aud this space should be filled with the packing ina torlal. Spaces of a width of about an Inch should le left letween tho cokes as they nre tiered up. When all tho Ice Is In place the sawdust or other covering should be spread over It so as to cover It completely. Tho space In the house above the Ice should be kept well ventilated.
