Farm HoK-Kllllnir Outfit. As all farmers who kill their own hogs know, the old wny of butchering Is very Inconvenient and tiresome. The following arrangement, Illustrated In the Queeuslsinder, makes the labor eoin Jiaratlvely easy. The top piece In 2x5 Inches, and 12 feet long. The mortices for the supports to fit lu are made five Inches from the ends ot' piece, and are one-half Inch deep, 2V Inches wide at bottom, by 1 Inches at top, thus only one bolt Is needed to hold them to Rother at top. The upright supports lire 2x2, and seven feet long; cross piece, lV4s2Vi. aiid at one end this should be bolted on upright pieces, down low enough so that bench will set over It. The lever Is 3Vix2 at staple, nd shaved down to 1 nt end. Sta ines made of five-sixteenths Inch rod iron, and long enough to clinch. Clevis Onion Growing;. The period between killing frost In Montana Is placed at 100 to 120 days, while the time required for onlous to mature from seeding Is 135 to 150 days, and It onions are not thoroughly ripe their keeping quality is injured, according to a report prepared by H. Fisher, of the Montana Station. The experiments are recorded In detail for each year, and yields given by both '. methods of culture. j Generally speaking, the yields from transplanted onions were from 50 to 2(0 per cent larger than from seed Rown In the Held, where there was but little or no Increase In cost of labor. The transplanting Insures an even crop, the maturity of the crop and the keep ing quality of the onions. Prize Taker gave the largest average yield of the nineteen varieties grown, and was one of the best keepers, though not usually advertised as a winter onion. The seed ling bulbs of this variety, however, kept poorly because the growing sea son was not long enugh to properly mature them. The use of well-rotted manure Increased the yield of both field sown and transplanted onions. Suggestions ure included for making hotbeds. 1 LITTLE LESSQ1 IX PATRIOTISM. DEVICE FOR HANGING THE HOQ.

The end of the lever Is Iron, Cx2V6 bent as shown for giinibrel stick to rest on, while lifting pig to the pole hooks, which are made large enough to slip bnek. and forth easily on upper piece. Itods one-half Inch, bent to hold gambrel stick. A hook not shown in cut made of one lialf Inch Iron, attaches to B and pro vides a fulcrum for the lever A for dipping hog In the barrel and raising carcass to the gainbrel hooks. Bench, l!xl Inches, 20 Inches high, 8 feet long. Barrel to he set In the ground one-quarter Its length. The Onion Maaraot. The onion maggot and cabbage mag got can only bo distinguished by an expert, as they are very nearly alike. The maggot is the larva of a small tly. There Is no known "sure" remedy that can be applied. Sprinkling powdered sulphur around the plants Is a partial remedy, but It does not always bring relief. Making a small hole near each onion and pouring Into each hole half a tensixmnful of bisulphide of carbon, covering the holes with earth, Is claim ed to be a remedy, but such method is expensive and laborious. Liquid ma nure applied to the plants is claimed to be a remedy. The best preventive Is to grow the onions on land that has not before produced a crop, but of course such can not be done until next season. This change of location of the onion patch is the only partial solution of the maggot problem. No Profit In Farm Alcohol. The Department of Agriculture, through Dr. II. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry, has undertaken to educate the farmers regarding the manufacture of denatured alcohol. Two bulletins on the subject have been Is nued. From Dr. Wiley's discussion of the nuiiject the conclusion Is reached that the manufacture of alcohol on a very small scale Is not likely to prove prof itable, and because of revenue regula tions it Is evident that the farmer must le content with producing the raw ma terials. The bulletin on the subject of sources and manufacture says: "The principal uses of industrial al cohol are Illumination, heating, motive jiower and the manufacture of lacquers, varnishes, smokeless powder, medicinal Jind pharmaceutical preparations, vine gar and ether. When Industrial alco hol U made at a price at which It can 'ompete with petroleum and gasoline, It doubtless will be preferred for the purposes above mentioned, because of Its greater safety and more pleasant odor. Under the present conditions it Is not probable that Industrial alcohol can be offered uion the market at much ' less than 40 cents a gallon of 05 per cent strength." Dr. Wiley expresses the belief, how ever, that by paying attention to un used sources of raw muterlal and with Improved methods of manufacturing mid denaturing this price can be dl iniulsued. Sanriflntr Fence Support. For fence posts or supports that will not rot off or break off, for picket or nine-wire, take two boards 2x6, cross at the top so as to leave a crotch for top wire. Fasten together with 8-pen-ny nails. Tut a crossplece in the mid dle for middle wires to rest on and fasten with staple and a crossplece at bottom for bottom wires to rest on and fasten with staple.

With the big, restless, energetic world outside of this trcjilcal belt however, the matter of keeping warm is ever present troublesome and expensive, throughout half of each passing year, says the National Magazine.

According to the Missouri experiment station bulletin, the cultivation of gin seng for the Chiiu-se market has be ctnne an Important Industry In that State, notwithstanding the fact that It takes five or six years tomnture a crop. While the crop is exceptionally valu able, the cultivation of ginseng has been found to possess disadvantages the same as most other cultivated crops. It appears that several fungus diseases hove broken out ln the gin seng plantations, some of which are extremely serious and Infectious, largo areas often being destroyed in a sin gle week. However, the particular or gnnlsms causing the damage have been recognized and methods for keeping the diseases under control have now been worked out. Cattle Lice. Lice on cattle Indicate lack of atten tion and poor feed. Urease of any kind will destroy lice on cattle, but grease should not be used If It can be avoided. First wash the animal with kerosene emulsion, and follow with clear water. When the skin Is dry dust every portion of the body with a mixture of a peck of carbonate of lime and a bushel of clean, dry dirt If a alngle animal Is Infested with lice, the others will soon be ln the same condi tion unless remedies are used as pre-ventlran. Milk Cow. The Hollanders evidently breed and feed for milk flrst of all. That they succeed Is proved by the large milk yields of their cows. That large milk flow, seemingly regardless of butter-fat percentage, pays them Is proved by their prosperity. The dairyman here thinks It necessary to pay small prices for dairy cows that annually yield from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds of milk. What the financial result to him Is, the wretched records show only too plain ly. He Is the worst-paid farmer ln the land. What could he not do If, Instead of breeding, buying, feeding and milk ing cheap cows, he were to breed, feed and milk cow's of the 11,500 to 14,500 pound class? The Frleslnnders and other Hollanders, with their glgautlc cows, make money on milk produced on soil that costs from $500 to $2,000 an acre or rents at from $50 to $200, clent latent heat when he began to, loaf around the family cooking stove and ab sorb the intoxicating comfort of artifi cial warmth.

Engrltab, Colliery Manager Lowered Into Pit to Save Starving: Collie. An interesting story of the rescue of a dog from a deep and disused pit shaft comes from Mealsgate, Cumberland. In spector Blake Jones, the Cumberland representative of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was lnrormea tnnt a aog nad Been thrown down a disused pit shaft near Mealsgate. On arrival he found that the shaft of the pit, which had not been worked for thirty years, was 540 feet deep, and up to within ninety-one feet of the surface was full of water. The dog could just be discerned on a rotten wood ledge ninety feet down, and about a foot from the water. The All Hallows colliery manager, Mr. John Walker Steele, had two beams placed across the pit mouth and a pul ley fixed, and seating himself ln a looped rope he was swung over the shaft and lowered through overgrow ing brambles down Into the darkness. He reached the unlucky dog,' which was by this time starved and weak, and, placing it across his knees, was with out mishap hauled back to daylight and safety. Mr. Steele was given a rous ing cheer on emerging. The dog, a collie, Is now In Inspector Blake Jones' possession and is doing well. Westmin ster Gazette. DR. C.
