Here are the plans for a brooder that can lie enslly made by anyone: Make a box 5 feet 4 Indies by 3 feet 8 Inches and 2 feet high, using 2x2 Incli pieces for corner posts, and matched boards for siding. Inside nail scrips nround 11 Inches from bottom to support the floor, which should be made of matched lumber and left so It could be taken out and cleaned. Make door in end level with floor, also glass In upper half of each side for light. Top made to slant both ways and about half of each side hinged on so as to make feeding and cleaning easy. IMaee large piece of sheet Iron on underside of floor with half-Inch strips between floor nnd Iron. Cut door In lower part of end ; plnce good metal bowl lamp under sheet Iron; bore sev eral holes In floor over lamp, putting tin can punched full of holes over this to keep out dirt Place thermometer on Inside and you will have a brooder which will give the best of satisfac tion. Hard Montheil llonn. Here Is something of practicnl value to anyone driving a horse that pulls on the bit : Fasten a small ring to each nide of the bridle and as near the lirow band as possible. Pnss the liner through the bit rings nnd Rnap them Into the rings nt the brow band. This, with n common Jointed bit, will enable child to hold a puller or hard mouth' rd horse with ease under nlmost all -circumstances.

Farmers who make money by skin nlng the farm are like companies who pay dividends by watering their stock The farmer who permits his chickens to roost In the stables does not deserve to own a horse. It generally requires but little effort to keep them out and It should be done by all means. It Is useless to attempt to keep win ter squashes that have been Injured by frost. Those that are uninjured are best kept on shelves In layers In a loen tlou where the temperature does not fall below 40 degrees. Re enreful that they are not kept too warm. The all around food for milk cows Is prass. Therefore look well to the pas tures and see that their quality Is lm proved. Milk makes a splendid feed for hogs. but It should not be relied upon to fur nlsh both food and drink. When a hog Is thirsty It neefs a drink of water, Dry farming, as they call the nieth od of tilling the land In the West, is nothing more nor less than cultivating the land In a manner so that the great est amount of moisture will be con' served. The Idea Is to keep a dry dust luulco on the surface at all times. young trees: They can be trained to the desired form better than older trees, says Farming.' A 2 or 3-year-old tree is branched and has had its head Iready formed by the nurseryman ; a yearling tree of -the apple, pear and sweet cherry. Is usunlly unbranched. Sometimes the nurseryman has headed the tree too high or has not been care ful enough about starting out the scaf fold limbs, and It Is difficult to cor rect the form of the head after It has been started. There Is an unmistak able preference for low-headed trees. due chiefly to the need of economy nnd efficiency In spraying and harvesting. The single disadvantage of low-head- ng is greater Inconvenience In tillage. This Is much more than offset by the Ivantnges, In the judgment of most growers. Itliln ten years the height recommended for heading apple trees n the East has been reduced at least two feet. The bearing of this on the atter of yearling trees Is that the grower can head a yearling tree where he pleases. Anchoring Fence Pouts. Here Is a handy way of nnchorlng fence posts In draws or low places : In stead of hnnelng a stone to the post. ANCHORING POSTS IS DRAWS. take a double wire and use it In the form of a truss, as Indicated In cut. The plan Is so simple thnt little descrip tion is necessary. If the cut Is very deep, one can use a longer post, or spike a 2x4 onto the post, and so put the truss wire yet higher, and hence that much more effective. Cowpean for Hog. Those living where they can success fully grow the cowpea should utilize this valuable crop as a cheap ration for pigs. The pen Is rich In protein and furnishes the needed growth, nnd does nwny with the necessity of millstuff. Drill three' or four pecks of seed per ncre the latter part of May or the first part of June, nnd give the needed enUl- vntlon till the vines cover the ground enough to check weed growth. Turn the pigs into the field when the pods begin to ripen, and they will do the harvesting. If the old hogs nre nns- ired on pens, they need corn or some other carbonaceous feed to give proper balnnce, for they cannot utilize so much protein as pigs. Try a patch of cow- pea pasture this year, nnd get your hogs In flue shape for the corn when It comes. New Meat Law Working Well. Ill addressing the convention of the New York State Breeders' Association upon the new moat Inspection law and Its bearing upon the production and handling of meats, George P. McCabe, (solicitor of the department of agricul ture at Washington, said the law ap peared to be working well and was serving as a guarantee of the health- fulness, purity and wholesomeness of our live stock and meats In the mar kets of the world. He declared that, to seenre the best results, breeders of evfry state should take up vigorously the question of the extension of mar kets and should back the department of agriculture ln an Insistent demand for an absolute efficient, vigilant, fair and square meat Inspection. Apple Scab. Experiments were carried on by the Washington State Station for the pre vention of apple scab, in which trees were sprayed with ordinary Bordeaux mixture, and also dust Bordeaux. On eighty-five trees, representing 'fifteen varieties, sprayed with dust Bordeaux, the average -percentage of clean fruit was 13 per cent, while on fifty trees representing the snme number of varie ties that were not sprayed tho average percentage of clean fruit was 6 per cent. On the other hand, sixty trees representing eight varieties that were sprayed with liquid Bordeaux gave nn average of 89 per cent clean fruit, showing the evident superiority of the liquid Bordeaux for the prevention of this disease. Vltalttr of Alfalfa Seed. Tests made at the Colorado station seem to Indicate, that "good, plump, mature, clean alfalfa seed does not lose Its vitality rapidly when kept with or dlnnry precaution to prevent Injury from moisture." The oldeBt sample had a germinating power of 93 per cent when six year old, and of 72 when ten years old and of G3 when sixteen years old. Professor W. P. Headden believes that the limit for the vitality of good, mature alfalfa seed exceeds sixteen year a. Is Switzerland to lose its glaciers?
