Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard A MODEL COW STALL. Tested, I11ustrnt"d and Ueseribed by the Editor of Hoard's llalryinan. The excellence of this plan of tying cows over the stanchion plan is: 1. The cow has 3j feet in width of stall and perfect liberty and comfort of position. 8. By virtue of the bar across the stall k CLEAN, COMFORTABLE METHOD OP STA BLING cow's, floor, which will be seen just forward of the hind feet of the standinj; cow, the animal has always a dry, clean bed to lie in, thus keeping her as clean from manure in winter as though she was in a June pasture. 8. By this system each cow is protected when lying down from having her teats and udder stepped on by her standing neighbor. This is one of the most productive sources of in jury that is known, and of itself should condemn the rigid stanchion. The cut represents one vow of cows facing another row. A closely boarded partition about four feet high forms the front of the stall. Each cow has S', feet in width. The floor is made tight and there is no drop in roar of cows, ex cept the thickness of one plank which is the double tloorf the stall. The feed ing rack is constructed for two purposes-. 1. To contain gey hay or roughage that may be fed Hit row. The sluts-arc put on wide enough so the cow can easily got her nose between them. 2. To forco the cow when standing to stand with her hind feet in rear of the crossbar across the stall floor. In constructing the feeding rack nail a 2 by 8 piece of scantling edgewise against the board partition. This constitutes the bottom of the rack and should be placed ahout two feet from the floor. Place the top scantling about two feet from the par tition. This makes the feeding runic eight inches wide at bottom and two feet wide at top. In thecenterof the bottom scantling fasten a ring screw to tie the halter to. Fasten the cow with a common web halter, she wearing the headpiece all the time: the halter end of the rope has a safety snap to fasten into the ring of the halter under the throat. To pre vent the cow from getting loose it is well to divide the end of the rope into two strands six inches long and put a snap in each, fastening both in the ring when tying the cow. The grain and ensilage box is placed on that side of the stall opposite to the one the cow usually lies on. If she lies on her left side place the grain box on the light side. In placing the bar across the stall I" ing the cow's head siiuarely up againsc the feeding rack; then just forward of her hind feet nail down a 2 by tl scantling. Fill the space forward of the bar with bedding, wlr' jh being without waste will last till entirely worn out. In this way each cow has her bed in true proportion to her length. It should be fresh once a week however for the sake of health. Keeping F.ggs. For long preservation the lime and salt solution, if kept in a cool place, ia the best formula for the purpose. For large quantities the usual proportions observed are: Sixty-five gallons of water, one bushel gooil, unslucked lime and eight qtiarts salt, Slack the lime in a portion of the water and then add Un balance and the salt. Stir well and skim off until it is clear. In this pickle keep the eggs completely immersed by weighting them tlown. When the egg have heea filled in spread a cloth ovci them and lay on it tlire or four inches of the lime remaining after it has been slacked, keeping nil under the brine. For small quantities use the materials in ahout the same proportions, keep in a cool place anil nse only fresh eggs. The Ameritan Agriculturist suggest! for the liine tolntion twenty pounds of fresh liuie and one pound of salt to twenty galhiis of water: this amoun; will cover liilf a barrel of eggs. The best time t) pack eggs is in March April or Ma;, and again in the month: of Snntemlitr.

An TlliiHtratrd Description of This Ilar diett of All the Spanish Ureeds of Fowls. j ho Andulasian is a truly handsome fowl, and according to general testimo ny the hardiest of all the Spanish breeds. The plumage is slaty blue, in many specimens slightly laced with a darker shade, but the neck, hackles aud tail AN ANDALUSIAN HEN. feathers are glossy black, ears white and face red, as in the Minorca. Unlike other Spanish chickens, the Antlalusian chicks are hardy and feather rapidly and well. The Andalusians being handsome, hardy birds and prolific layers of large, white eggs, the question arises, "Why is not this breed more popnlai-'r1" The Fanciers' Journal says: '-Andalusians should be more popular than they are being very handsome fowls and splendid layers of large, white eggs. We consider them fully equal to the Miuorcas and the size of eggs they lay uro considered superior to the Leghorns." H. S. Bahcock says in Tho American Agriculturist: "There is no doubt what ever that the Andalusian is a capital layer. Asa table fowl for American mar kets it is my personal opinion that the Andalusian is not desirable. Its white skin and blue shanks would count against it. The Andalusian has never proved a popular fowl with fanciers. and its uncertainty in breeding to color characteristics is probably tho cause." An English author says of this breed: "As table fowls the Andalusians are fairly good, though not to be classed with tho Dorking. It is somewhat difli cult to get the flesh on the cockerels in tlioir early stages, while pullets are, as a rule, exceedingly plump." The illustration here presented ap peared originally in The Feathered World, and gives a fair idea of the good features of the perfect Andalusian bun. A Self Feeder for Swine. A correspondent of The Country Gentlemen, who furnished the drawing tor tho self feeder here shown, writes concerning it: I made a meal chest with a self feed ing attachment. I pour in the meal, the pigs do the rest. It is a great couven- CROSS SECTION OF HELP FEEDING ATTACH MENT. ience and the pigs can have their feed whenever their appetite calls for it. Will it not he more thoroughly digested if eaten dry? The cross section in cut shows the construction of self feeder and renders explanation unnecessary. In this connection it may not bo out of place to say that the Uothamsted experi ments on pig feeding conducted many years ago are still the best on the sub ject. They showed that success depends more on good judgment in selecting, or on care in breeding tho pigs intended to fatten than the particular kind of food given them. Those who buy pigs for fattening should therefore try and gel oou ones. I-eklng Iliiehn. Peking ducks are generally regarded ts one of the most profitable breeds being hardy, prolific und furnishing white feathers. These ducks are largi and uniform in size. A fair yearly pro luct ot eggs is ahout 121) for a duck in in its second year, ard 00 to 80 for a yearling. The proportion of the sexes in the early spring should be about one drake to five or six ducks. Later in the season, when many of the ducks arc of duty from a desire to incubate, the pro irtion ought to he about one dnike to leu ducks. This is an important point, .is the eggs will he much more fertile if .t part of the drakes are removed. The f'eking has two defects its extreme tim idity and its course voice, but to offset these defects the Pelting not only pro duces the first eggs of the season, hut by far the greatest number of any of the breeds: it requires less water than othei lucks.

THE MANAGEMENT OF WEEDS. Close Cropping and Thorough Cultiva tion the llest Preventive! Known. Weeds grow less with every year of cropping and thorough cultivation. Constant stirring of tho soil prevents weed seeds from doing more than ger minate. Killed at this early stage, but little trouble is experienced. One of the worst plant pests the farmer has to con tend with is the Canada thistle. When 0 II III 11 M IO .V" FLOWER SPIKES OF RAO WEED. once his fields are infested, it is next to impossible tocirctunvent this foe, which, however, in t'ne garden, by constant cultivation, is easily eradicated. Pre vent all growth above ground. No this tle root, nor any other perennial root will livo long without a chance to breathe through its foliage. The annual weeds must be conquered by destroying them before they perfect their seeds. Numbered with the most troublesome of these are purslane, chick weed, wild mustard und tho ragweed, here depicted. Everywhere along road sides may be seen the coarse, dusty foli age and dull green spikes laden with pollen, of the unsightly plant known as ragweed in some sections and as horse weed in others. When growing in sit uations where it is practicable to run the mower before the flower are suliicient ly advanced to perfect their seeds Ibis will be found to be a good plan. Being un annual, this method when through will destroy tho crop for another year. Sheep will eradicanto this weed if pas tured on the ground infested. In the cut, reproduced from Tho Prairie Farm er, is shown tho (lower spikes of rag weed about one-fourth natural size. As a substitute for patent weeders, Greiner suggests common iron spoons aud broken case knives, properly ground (.to nn edge on both sides and bent in the shape of n curve. In fact, any small, sharp edged tool can be utilized as a hand weeder. The instrument shown at the top of the second illustration can be made by any blacksmith, using nn old spado han dle and a piece ol wagon spring. To utterly demolish burdock, set this cutter about two inches from the plant at an angle of about !J0 (legs, front the per pendicular; with the foot press the cut- ri. SJJ BURDOCK CUTTERS, tor down far enough to cut off the root. Now lift the burdock by tho hand from its place and the work for that burdock is done. This instrument and process severs the roots below the crown, and it will not sprout again. The blade of tho other instrument, shown at bottom, is a wide piece of old wagon spring, twenty inches in length, sharpened at both ends. A block of hard wood, seven inches long, is bolted to center of hhido to hold the wooden bundle, forty inches in length. With this implement one stroke is re quired, and one can take out weed roots at a rapid rate. Thes burdock cutters were originally illustrated by Tho Coun try Ocntleuiaii. Pop Corn. Any white variety is marketable. The rice variety is preferred by some confec tioners, but the white flint generally sells us readily, and is a better yielder. The cultivation is similar to that of field corn, only it should be better than that often given. The ground must be in good order, as the plants are much less stocky when coming up than those of other corn. Plant in drills about three feet apart, and leave two stalks every fifteen or eighteen inches. The rice corn can be planted a little thicker than this, but the flint grows a larger stalk, ami four stalks for each nine feet of ground is about right. Buyers do not want pop corn less than one year old, as it will not pop well any sooner unless artificially dried. One can raise from fit) to 101) bushels, of forty pounds each, of pup corn on ,-in ai re, de pending uiion soil and variety. It is a crop that pays big when one is able and willing to wait for the right year to sell, which comes once or twice in five years, possibly ol'tener. Plant while flint, have pure seed, store the crop secure from mice, and when it is u year old get the names of seedsmen and leading confec tioners in cities und write theni, advises Ohio Fanner.
