BRlrtt PAVE» rtrD L ot . mary of replies to a circular of iuqulrj regarding the me.hxls followed by practical feeders cjni;.i!ed by H. W. Mumford and L. D. Hall of the Ili n >ls- experiment station the question of muddy feed lots was considered. Not- vrithstanuiug the fact that the disad vantages of mud und dirt were recog- nized. only thirty-six of the 500 anJ more cattle feeders who furnished in formation ou this point reported defi nite provisions against such conditions. Of these ten have the surface of feed lots paved or otherwise artificially cov ered and fifteen use rock, gravel, cin ders, brick», planks, corncobs or saw dust alone ar.d In combination in vari ous parts of the lot—for Instance, about the feed troughs, water tanks, sheds or gates. Ten of the correspondents state that they have made the lots dry enough for feeding purposes by a tile drain, while two report that the yards have been graded and the mud and manure removed by means of dirt scrapers. Several of those who use coal cinders for Alling the muddy portion of the lot state that care must lie taken to keep them covered with straw, corn stalks or other bedding material In or der to avoid injury to the feet The first cut shows a brick paved feed lot with convenient shelto». wa ter and feeding arrangement*. gn- ed to accommodate about fifty cattle, which has given satisfaction. The pavement is 21 by 80 feet and is made of brick laid flat on six Inches of grav el packed until solid. The curbing consists of curbstones eighteen inches wide and three inches thick set edge wise. Feed bunks were placed In the shed. The shelter consists of a building 20 by 2'1 feet, with two wings, both 20 by 30 feet. The upp<-r floor of the middle position is used for storing dry corn fodder, which can lie convenient ly cut and fed through an open shaft to the feeding bunk lielow. The second cut Is a feed bunk, with platforms for u»e In a muddy lot. which is Inexpensive and has prove! satis factory.

The feeder always has a dry place to walk when putting In feed; the cattie One of the most iui|a>rtaut poluts in preparing bcariug apple trees for win ter. iu my opinion, is to remove all rubbish that may atTord shelter for mice or other vermin, says a writer iu American Agriculturist. B- sure there are n> declivities at the Immediate bu-e of the tree. A slight mounding is good. At all events leave uo hollows that will hold water to freeze at times of sudden falls in teun>erature. thereby greatly damaging trees. If mice or rabbits are feared, protect with wire netting. Cut with shears into proper sizes, roll around an old broomstick or ■uy round object to give it a circular shape, the stick removed, and the wire will spring around the trunk and hold Itself in (dace. See that all drains are in good order. Economic Position of Farmer*. A matter of great Importance In Its bearing upon the Increased value of farm lands 1» the new economic Inde pendence of farmers, fundamentally growing out of their Improved flnan- rlal condition. Farmers now occupy a it^ong economic position, founded upon the tendency of the consumption if some important product» to In crease faster than population does and upon the tendency of the desires for these products to Increase faster than the production does, so that with re spect to these products consumption Is ciose upon the heels of production. Pruning Tree*. Deciduous trees may be pruned at any time after freezing weather set» In. when the sap will all have run out of the branches. Iaiurlscape garden ers. as a rule, leave the pruning of trees and sh—ibs until February. Cure should be taken to cover all large wound* with g»s tar or lin«eed oil paint to prevent decay.—Country Gen- tie * ir.
