' FINE SOD CUTTER.
Cu Bm Made by-" Anyone Hrrt4
Little Ingrennlty.
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
