This house Is 8x 12 feet, floor built on two skids and accommodates 25 hens and 3 males In me winter ana nair as many more during the summer. A team of horses can draw It to any part of the farm that may be desired. This gives fresh ground to the hens, and feed that might otherwise go to waste, can be made use of. For farm use the stud ding need not be so high, and the house can be built of available mate rial.

A farmer can add to bis equip ment one house at a time, and gradu ally work up to the desired number. F. a Elford. Coeklebera. A good many farmers are still strug gling with the cocklebur nuisance. It Is possible to rid the ranch of this pest In one year and realize a profit on the operation. Any time before the weeds have attained much height take a plow and barrow to the field and before the day Is done sow one and one-half bushels of good kafflr corn to each acre plowed. Harrow well and the next day repeat the oper ation until the cocklebur territory has been thoroughly covered. When the kafflr seed Is In the dough mow or bind with a harvester and you will bave one of the very best crops or roughage to be had. Remove this crop from the field as soon as convenient Two years or so of this kind of tillage will clean out the burs and the opera tion Is certainly worth while. Denver Field and Farm. Pin, for tee Gardea. A good pump should be part of the equipment of every garden. For the mall garden a good bucket, com pressed air or knapsack pump will be most satisfactory, while for larger gardens a barrel pump, with an at tachment for spraying several rows when occasion demands, or an auto matic pump geared to the wheels of the truck, will be found more economi cal of time and labor. The small compressed air sprayer is handy, as It leaves both hands free for use, and Is, therefore, useful If It Is desired to spray two or three small trees, possi bly with the use of a stepladder to reach their tops. Fertiliser. Fertilizers may be divided into two general classes direct and Indirect, or nutritive and stimulant. A direct or nutritive fertilizer Is one which furnishes nourishment to the growing crop. Nourishment means simply ni trogen, phosphoric acid and potash. These are the three Ingredients which must be renewed through the medium of manures and fertilizers. A stimu lant or Indirect fertilizer Is one which does not furnish an actual plant food to the soil, but by Its stimulating ac tion renders available some plant food which previously existed in the soil in an Insoluble or unavailable condition. Horse mm Cora Greertaar. In growing corn one of the factor inat is seldom rated at Its true worth is nrst-ciass motive power. Anyone wno nas plowed, harrowed, planted and cultivated with an ill-matched, short-weighted. high-strung team Knows how difficult It Is to do eoo.I work. No farm hand thus handicapped can render a service that is satisfac tory to a good farmer. Farm teams should be evenly matched as to age. aize and temperament. Weight Is es sential. Teams should be big enough to keep a reserve power constantly on tap; they should draw any Imple ment with ease and at a steady, lively pace, ir they are of standard draft type and are shifted occasionally from one class of service to another they will go through the season with out breakdowns. This depends, how ever, to a large extent on how they are fed and managed. Much depends also on the ease and comfort which they enjoy In the collar; sore necks and galled shoulders, due to poorly fitted collars, prove serious obstacles to good, continuous work. Corn-belt farms should be equipped with heavy draft tennis; the highest type of di versified agriculture In that territory depends on this reliable, efficient mo tlve power. Big horses bear a close relationship to a big corn crop.-Chl-cago Live Stock World. Dlppaar gok (or Lira. There are various kinds of sto-k dips, and most of them are good. The'r use Is becoming more common because their value Is better known than for meny. Almost every stockman has an.mals that a-e not thrifty, and be don't know the reason why. It very Often happens that such anlmnla nra troubled with parasites of some kind. pernaps several kinds. They are too small to be seen with the naked eve. and the farmer tries different kinds of medicines, when an outside annll. cation of some disinfectant Is the only remeay needed. When stockmen once learn the value of dinning the need no further encouragement. They keep on dipping twice a year, because they know it pays both In dollars and In satisfaction. We have found crude oil one of the best and most effective louse killers and disinfectants. It makes an ex cellent dip for swine. It will remove all of the old scales and scurf and Im prove the general appearance of the nerd. wnen mixed with crude carbolic acid at the rate of one gallon of crude carbolic tcld to fifty gallons of crude oil It makes a cheap and effective dis infectant for use In the hoc bouse. hen houres and water holes In the hoa lot wnere bogs are accustomed to wal low. It will, when used alone, prove very cheap oil to use on farm machin ery when It Is stored away for winter. It can be used with safety as a fly repellant on all farm animals by the use of sprayers, and will prove as well adapted to that purpose as many of the more expensive dips and mixtures. For cuts and bruises on farm animals It is excellent and can be used with safety. Use on cows' teats when sore. Agricultural Epitomise.

Perhaps at no other point can so vivid an Impression of the riches and grace of the French capital be gained as at the foot of the grand staircase leading to the Interior of the opera house at Paris. The exterior of the building with its colonnade lit with blue mercury lights is familiar to everyone who has been to Paris, but until the visitor has witnessed this scene of shimmering satin and sparkling Jewels he will bave missed a re markable sight which only the opera can show him. Teatlac Milk. In some sections many of the best dairymen are adapting the Holland plan of combining and hiring men to visit each herd one day in the month and test the milk of each cow, thus giving the owners an Idea of which cows are the ones that are paying for their keep. This plan Is a very ten- ible one and should be encouraged. The cost Is comparatively small, as the tester boards with the familv while he is doing his work and is car rled to the next place the day he has completed his work. This Insures reg ularity In the work. In Michigan this plan has greatly Increased the average production per cow. Wisconsin, too, has taken up this matter. It Is good business and It may become popular, but some of our dairymen are hard to turn from the beaten paths of their fathers. Farmers and Drovers' Jour nal. Orekarde Fall. The ashes from apple, pear ano peach trees contain about TO per cent of lime, and the crops of fruit borne every year also contains lime. When orchards fail it is always profitable to apply lime, and It should be done at least once In five years. Wood ashes are preferable to lime for orchards, but the lime. Is much cheaper. Lime 111 also prove of benefit to grass that may be growing In an orchard, and It destructive to certain grubs and other orchard enemies. It is best ap plied by plowing the orchard land and broadcasting the lime over the sur face. 88 Science mention wla Orekard Graaa. If orchard grass is not sown thickly it will not be a success. Three bush els to the acre should be used. Or chard grass Is more vigorous than tim othy, with a stronger root system; but If a permanent meadow Is ex Mcted It most be top-dressed freely. Feed lar Skeea. There are several po'its In feeding sheep that must not be overlooked. The feed lot must be dry, with plenty of clean, dry bedding; the animals must bave plenty of rU i. pure water, and the feed troughs should be kept clean. These should be arranged so that the sheep cannot foul them wlUj their feet Another point is to keep them from becoming excited or fright ened. To this end it Is better that one person feed them all the time. Eaesaraaiaa Fereetrr. New York Bute has taken a prac tical way of encouraging forestry. During the past planting season more than 1.000.000 seedlings were distrib uted at cost throughout the state for planting. Where it Is desired and Is found feasible, the services of a fore man are furnished to direct the plant ing, the state bearing a share of his expenses. The seedlings were of pint and spruce and were supplied to 149 perseaa. Arkansas leads among the states In the production of bauxite, her output being more tban 60 per cent of the total last year. Holland has a new law forbidding the adulteration of butter, under pan alty of Imprisonment, which may reach one year.

The word "tungstoller" has been coined to define the fixture used to hold a group of tungsten electric lights In proper position to give the best service. Austria limits the number of drug stores to the number of Inhabitants of a district or city, and the need of an additional one must be clearly shown before the license Is Issued. The geological survey Is erecting at Pittsburg a testing plant for structu ral material that will be' able to han dle girders 63 feet long and give them a tension of 10.000,000 pounds. Government tests have shown that many coals which are too high In ash and sulphur for economical use under boilers or for cooking may be made commercially valuable by proper wash ing. Messrs. Henri and Stodel recently demonstrated to the French Academy of Sciences the practicability of steril izing milk by means of the ultraviolet rays emitted by mercury vapor lamps. Milk thus treated can be completely sterilized In the cold. At the same meeting of the academy Mons. A. Gascard showed that milk to which potassium bichromate has been added as a preservative keeps much better in the dark. The Yana language of northern Cali fornia represents a distinct llnguls'.lc stock, and bad formerly three dial.ts, one of which Is now extinct.

An Interesting historical letter, re lating to Denedlct Arnold's treason, Gen. Gates' disastrous campaign In the Southern States and the appoint ment of Gen. Nathanael Greene to suc seed him there, fetched $55 at Free man's In Philadelphia a few days ago. the New York Times says. The letter was written to Greene from Philadel phia. Oct. 5. 17S0. by Charles Petit a member of the continental congress, who also was assistant to Greene while the latter was quartermaster general. In regards to the West Point treason Petit wrote: "I cannot say that Gen. Arnold's treason, so far as respects his turn ing tory and deserting the American cause, was any great surprise to me. The constant and uniform tenor of his conduct In this city looked strongly that way, and the court he paid to the torles was too plain and evident and too universal to arise from any otner motive than the laying of foundation for Joining them at some day or other, but the magnitude of his treason and the extent of his plan. I must confess, startle and amaze me: I could scarcely have conceived that the pride of an ambi tious man and that sense of honor, or at least the pretension to It which every man or station thlnka himself bound to wear the appearance of, whether be really feels it or not. would have prevented a man of his situation to rush at once Into a vli lainty so atrocious and degrading to human nature. Out he seems to have been determined not to be a little vll Iain. .Nothing short of the highest rate could satisfy him. and In this he has shown bis courage, though his plan has failed. I shall at present add only one reflection upon this af fair, and that Is that I consider It as a public benefit not only that the plot has been so seasonably discover ed, but that the attempt has been made." In writing about Gen. Gates' South ern campaign petit says: "The Sou'Lern gentlemen particularly seem ed desirous that Gen. Greene should b-j appointed. The Southern people re strongly prejudiced against a Cale donian (Gen. St Clair), having an ugly pst of them in their own bow els In North Carolina." Goo4 a Air Itatloa.
