Ia reply to a request for directions for "miring a sod cutter, I offer the fol lowing1, which is very easy to construct by anyone having1' ordinary ability' in the vise of tools end who may have use for such an article as a sod cutter. It is for use with a horse, and will cut sod at a very rapid rate, and will cut of a uniform thickness and width. By using a spade that is sharp to follow and cut out the lengths, it is easy to get any sized piece that may be desirable to handle. ! v- To construct it, proeure a piece of pine or oak two inches thick by six inches wide and seven feet long. Cut in the center and shape one end of each piece like Fig. 1. For the top use a piece of pine two inches thick, 14 inches wide and three feet long. Spike or fas ten the top board firmly to' the 6ide pieces or runners as though making a sled, as in' Fig. 4. It will require two steel cutters about eight inches long and firm enough to be substantial, like Fig. 2. One steel cutter (3), the bottom to be flat and about iys inches wide, the length of which must be width of sled, but which must be fastened to the sled FIGS. 2 AND 3. on an angle so that the knife or cutter which is fastened upright in front will be in advance of the other. This cutter must be well made of good steel, with good stout upright ends and w ell bolted to the sides so it will project below the bqttom of the runners about 2 inches, or whatever thickness is deemed best to cut the sod. Have it well sharpened across the width. Place the two up right knives, well sharpened, just in advance of the uprights of the FIG. 4. just in advance of the uprights of the knife or cutter, allowing their points to project half an inch below the cutter bar. Fig. 4 shows the cutter complete with the bottom up. Eings can be put in front and a short ehain attached' to hitch the horse to. In cutting, drive straight and stand on the cutter over the knife. It is best to cut crosswise at each end of the strips and remove it, and there will be less trouble to start it each time. The whole expense of such a cutter ought not to exceed a dollar, and if well made will last a lifetime and be very easy to lend, but harder to keep trace of. S. L. Harper, in Ohio Farmer. FACTS FOR FARMERS. No other instrument is so well adapt ed to pulverizing small clods as the plank drag. A great man once said that the most important secret of success with crops is to remember to stir the soil. Even half a dozen sheep are better than none, as they will keep down the weeds and prevent the farm from be ing seeded with such pests. Feed up the corn fodder, millet and other cheap forage as closely as may be end save the timothy hay, which is a cash article, while the others are not. Not only must the soil contain food elements, but they must be thoroughly mixed and incorporated in the soil to become available as plant food. There fore, let the ground be heavily manured and every square inch for a foot in depth well pulverized. Farmers who sowed crimson clover last fall will have an excellent fertiliz ing1 material for plowing under. Xo nitrogenous fertilizers will be required where crimson clover has grown, but application of phosphates and potash will be beneficial. They cost but a small sum, however, compared with the substances, containing nitrogen. It is seldom that a farmer can accu mulate a sufficient amount of wood ashes for a large field, but on farms where wood is used there is a limited supply, which can be put to good use on the garden or on the young clover. Ashes are excellent also on all grass lands and in orchards. They are ap plied broadcast, in any quantity de sired, as many as 100 bushels per acre having been used on certain soils. Prairie Farmer. The Curse of Farming. The first great lesson that we must learn to avoid waste. That has been the curse of farming. We pay taxes on land that we do not farm; we only half cultivate our fields, and so waste both land and labor; we have a large per centage of a crop in a field ; we waste time and capital raising inferior ani mals; we waste money in buying what we should raise ourselves; we waste en ergy in trying to do more than any one man can do right; we waste opportuni ties to improve our condition by staying away from institutes and by neglect ing to read papers; we waste in a thou sand and one ways we waste, and then we are ready to say. tl.it Tsrrr::n, doesn't pay." Tray (T. Y.) Times. PIG. l. . DRINKING FOUNTAINS.- A Homemade Contrivance Which Hu Worked Very Well. In caring .for young chickens, ducks, poults, etc, one often has difficulty in I quantities, and at the same time keep it ' pure and fresh. Many arrangements have been contrived to obviate the diffi k t culty, all working with more or less suc ,' cess. Probably the most successful is the drinking fountain gotten up on the principle Of the siphon. ' The market is well stocked with several patterns, all on the same general principle, but vary ing in lesser details. , ' Probably one of the most popular is the earthen -fountain. It has the ad vantage over some others in having thicker sides and is less liable to be affected by heat or cold. One of the most serious objections we have to this make is the difficulty in cleaning. In this respect there are others far ahead. The earthen fountain will not work successfully during severe weather, es pecially if it is so situated that there is danger of freezing. ' Like an earthen crock, a good stiff freeze-up will ruin it. There is still another make gotten up on the same idea but made of galvanized iron. This one has the advantage over the other during freezing weather, but otherwise the same disadvantage that will apply to one will to the other. We have noted' another make gotten up on the same principle but on an alto gether different pattern. This one, which is also made of galvanized iron, has a false cover" fitting over t-he can proper and extends down into the water about the base. Such -a fountain has every convenience of the others and the additional advantage of- being readily cleaned. For the past two or three years we have been using one of our own con trivance, which ordinarily works ve' satisfactory. We used an ordinary crock, boring a small hole through the side about iy2 inches from the top. The crock is then filled with water and a shallow d'ish placed over the top, with sides sufficiently high to allow the water to rise just above the aperture in the crock. The crock and dish are then in verted and if everything has been done properly, you will have practically just as good a fountain for the ordinary poultry yard as some more expensive ones. This will be found to be very satisfactory in the yard with young stock, especially with young turkeys. By its use the youngsters are not apt to become wet. CP. Reynolds, in Ohio Farmer. ROOMY POULTRY HOUSE. It Construction unil Advantages De scribed In Detail. Where one can build his poultry house upon a southern slope, the plan shown in the accompanying illustration will be found particularly convenient. The building can be of any length de sired to accommodate one or a dozen flocks the construotdon is the same in any case. The north side has posts shorter than are those upon the south side, which gives from three to four feet of space beneath the building prop er. This is utilized as a scratehing room for the fowls in cold and stormy weather. A small opening in the floor on the north side of the main floor admits to this scratching-room. EX- PRACTICAL POULTRY HOUS5J. tra large windows are placed in the front of this scratching apartment, both for the purpose of giving plenty of light, sunshine and fresh air, and to make access to these low spaces con venient. Any litter, dressing, etc., that one wishes to remove, can be raked to the window from the outside, and so re moved. The windows are hinged at the top, and can bo raised from the windows above, by cords. Inside the lower windows are stretched gratings or wire netting. With the window open, the scratching-room has all the advan tages of an open scratching shed, so highly recommended of late, without the open scratching shed's disadvan tages of becoming filled with drifting snow and of having no protection in cold or raw weather. Such a plan, at a very slight added expense, nearly doubles the room in a poultry-house, enabling" the owner to keep nearly double the number of fowls under the same roof that he could keep without this added room below. Country Gentleman. Raising- Geese for Market. If the flock of geese is given a grass plat it will be all that they will require. In w-inter, however, they should have a mess of ground food once a day. Old geese do not sell in market, and it is a waste, of time and money to attempt to so dispose of them. Keep the old ones for breeding purposes, as they will be serviceable for from ten to twenty years, and sell the young ones. One gander may be kept with, two geese. There is also a fair profit in feathers. The Embden gander and Toulouse geese produce excellent offspring for market. One Result of High Feeding. When streaks of blood occur in eggs it is a sign that something is amiss with the egg-producing organs of the fowl, and it will be found that the faulty eggs are all laid by the same fowl. They should be confined for a time, fed spar ingly on hard corn, so as to check .the production of the eggs. It may be that matters will right themselves under this treatment, but nothing more can be done. It is probable that the blood spots nre tre ciitcosr.e or VrntJt Field and P'pr'TTi rli fee3iE".-?-B3 Oar Clubbiu List.
