Pollen Travel Far.
The pollen from the nine forests of
ten forms a yellow coating on lakes
or on the ocean, ns far as 200 miles
from the shore, and has been mistaken
by peasants for showers of sulphur.
The pollen grains of the pine are pro

buoy them up in the air very much on
the principle of a box kite.

fT w"S.'raler' t'CklDf kUl:e' h0g hk RUd a V conventent

Inst, Very 'arg& " V6ry U'rge b0 are W'6 tub will
,'"r th lP"riT f0r SCaUli,,g ,uuch better tnn barrel. I have one which
botn It fW; C, Plf"kS an5 eDd8 and 8hW?t " " th
bot oin. It is six feet long and three and one-bnlf feet wide, with a depth
with . Ta . TW' hk8 re fa8tPnpd near the t0P on e
rnd -ithTi,f Te I? 8 t0 n,n U1Kler tI,e hos t 'ellitnte the turning
and . withdrawing from the tub. It Is placed over a furnace, which Is made
by digging a trench In the ground, and when In use I place pieces of wood
across the bottom, in order to kerp the hog from coming In contact with the
Iron bottom aud getting too hot.
I find that the proper temperature for good senldlng is from 180 to 100
degrees, and If a barrel Is to be used the water should be boiling when
dipped out of the kettle, as the barrel will cool it some.- If a scalding tub
Is used the water should be cooled by adding a bucket of cold water before
the hog Is put In. To insure a correct heat of the water use a thermometer.
Small quantities of lye, usbee or lime will have no effect In removing the
hair, but will cause the scurf to come loose more readily. Keep the hog In
constant motion while being scalded, and draw it out to air occasionally.
When the hair and scurf slip easily from the. body the scalding is com
pleted. In scraping and cleaning the hog, I clean the feet and head first,
then the legs, and last, but not least, the body.
I hang the hog with a rope and pulley, as it is more easily hung in this
way than any other. But it may be hung with the ordinary gambrel. a
stick which is sharpened at each end and inserted under the tendon strings
of the hind legs. A short singletree will be found to answer for a gambrel
stick. If there Is sufficient help at hand the hog may he hung on a pole
put up for the purpose, fter the hog is hung up, rinse it down with scald
ing water, remove the entrails by running a sharp knife lightly down, mark
ing the belly straight, cutting to the bone between the thighs and in front of
the ribs, which bones I split with an ax, being careful not to cut beyond
them. , . ,
I usually salt down on a bench or in a box as soon as it has cooled
enough to trim. The amount .of salt I use is ten pounds to-every 100 pounds
of meat In addition to the salt I also use two pounds of granulated sugar
and two ounces of saltpeter mixed. Eub the meat once .every three days with
one-third of the mixture. While it is curing pack It in a box in a cool room,
where it will neither become warm nor freeze.
Two barrels may be used, changing the meat from one to the other each
time it is rubbed. After the last rubbing let the meat lie in a box for a
week or ten days, then take It out to smoke. When taken cut of the, box
dip each piece in, a kettle of boiling water and let it remain half a minute,'
after which sprinkle with a little powdered borax on the, meat side aud hung.
Smoke It four or five days with hickory chips of corn cobs, then dip and
sprinkle it with borax again and put it down in clean hay. Meat treated in
this manner may be left hanging all sumnier and will remaln'ln the best con
dition. W. Hanson. .
Filling; tbe Silo.
How did you fill your silo last fall?
fhe government people declare that
while the blower, as shown In the pic
ture, requires more power to operate
thnn does the flat carrier, very few
blowers require more than a twelve-
horse-power engine. It costs less per
ton to elevate silage with the blower
and the work Is done mqre satisfac
torily in every way. The greastest
trouble In the use of the blower is
caused by having the blower pipe stand
too far away from the silo at the bot
tom. It should stand as nearly per
oendlcular as possible. Exchange. .
Good for Man and Beaat.
If a cow or horse gets choked with
an apple or potato hold up its head
and break an egg in its mouth.
A cheap cure for colic in horses is
the following: Keep a small bottle of
turpentine always on baud. Feel -for
the Jugular vein back of the jaw on
the right side and rub it gently five
or ten inches with a flannel rag wet
with turpentine. If the animal has
colic It will cure him in ten minutes.
To dose a pig halter him and tie
the rope to. a stake. When he has
ceased his uproar approach him and
between the back part of his jaws in-
lert an old shoe from which you have
cut the toe leather. This he will at
Dnce begin to suck and chew. Through
it pour your medicine and he - will
wallow any quantity you pleat . '

METHOD Or FILLING THE SILO.
ON THE FAE.M.
Sheep Experiment.
An experiment which will be watch
ed with much Interest by all New En
gland, and which may be the means of
revolutionizing the present method of
farming here, Is about to be tried by
the Maplecrest Stock and Poultry Farm
Association, Springfield, Mass.
The association is planning to bring
1,000 sheep from the western part of
the country and put them on farms In
and around Mlddlefleld and Becket.
The sheep are merinos and will be
mated with dorset rams of local ex
traction. Some of the reasons which prompted
the association to bring the sheep are
the decreasing ratio of the meat sup
ply and the constantly Increasing popu
lation of the country.
Scotch herders will be brought here
with the sheep and will be used In
stead of dogs or fences to keep them
from straying, as it is claimed that
more care can be given by professional
herders.
Care In Feeding Working- HorSea
Horse feeding Is not given the atten
tion it should be by some fanners.
That of the cow and sheep is carefully
examined and discussed, but oftentimes
the horse's feed is Just all the hay he
can eat and various quantities of corn
and oats, according to the work being
done. Although oats and hay are ideal
food, they should not be fed exclusive
ly. Horses like a variety as well as
does any other animal. Good timothy,
early cut and well cured, Is the best
hay for horses, but many farmers feed
too much hay. If the horse is expect
ed to do extra bard work be should be
liberally and frequently fed. It is best
to water horses as they come in from
work or before feeding. If watered
soon after feeding, the stomach, being
small, is liable to be partially emptied
by the water of the undigested food,
which causes bowel trouble or loss of
food.
Hales Mean Money.
Some people have the Idea that a
mule will not respond to kind treat
ment This Is a sad mistake. A goof
mule Is just about as good as cash In
the bank any season In the year. A
thoroughbred Jack generally proves a
better Investment than a stallion. First
class Jacks are very scarce and that Is
one reason why mule breeding la alow. I
