Tb milk would not only be frozen, but would be cooled .till further to a hard, dry lee, which. It I. claimed, would re main In the solid form after removal for a day or two before the entire nins would rise to a melting polut, the keeping qualities being much su perior to that of milk which I. merely frozen at common tetnierature. The operating plan would be to e tahllsli a freezing plant at the cream eries ami milk stations, the frozen product to be shlps-d In ordinary cans, thus doing away with the present high cost of refrigerating car. It la claimed that frozen milk kept over a month lu a refrigerator room showed no change In taste on thawing, and that the cream remained evenly mixed throughout the solid mass, not rising, a. It would when milk la merely kept liquid at low temperature. Milk for freezing would need to be In fresh, clean condition when frozen, else It. kc-plng period would be very abort after melting.

Straight Hues and square plots so desirable In the laying out of fields are not the most desirable for the home grounds. Curved lines especially for the driveways take uway the stiffness and add naturalness to the scene. In the Illustration the double driveway in front makes too complicated a plan for the ordinary farm.

It bit been often noticed that In a wisiiltsl country boll weevils appear first In spring along the borders of fields next to the woods and gradually work Inward from the edges, so that It seem probable that In a wooded coun try most of them hlliernate In wood land.

For .hipping live poultry to market the following alzea of coop are most generally used In tbe West: Coop ahould be 48 Inches long, 30 Inche wide, 12 Inche high for chicken, and duck., and 15 Inche high for turkey and geese, t'se lumber aa follow.: Two by two for cor ner post., or 1x2 will answer. If you cannot get them, get 1x4 and rip them In two. Cut six pieces .TO Inches long and nine piece. 12 or 15 Inches long for each coop. Nail the short pieces one at each end and one In the center of the long ones, lining ten-penny wrought nails. Make three of these frames, one for each end and center. For the bot tom use half-Inch hoard, or lath, make the bottom tight, using six-penny nail. I'se Vix2 Inch strip, of lath for aides. end. and top, put them 1 Inche apart; the width of lath Is aliout right. Inve two lath, loose on top In center, or make a duor of them to oien. In order tn put poultry In and fake It out. Now nail a lath around the coops, each end and the center, outside, the three frame made first. This will keep the lath from coming off and make the coops stronger. For broiler, the coop can be made 10 Inches high and 21 Inch es wide. This will make a gissl. light coop. I'. II.

The question of winter forage nnd pasturage Is one of the greatest Im portance In the Southern States, and Carleton It. Hall, of the Kureau ol I'ltitit Industry, was sent by the Ie pnrtment of Agriculture early in the year to make an Investigation In sev eral of the Gulf States. In his resirt Mr. Hall says, unionist other things: "The production of Southern hay lias beeu a quest Ion long under discussion. The amount produced ond the yield s-r acre have Ih it Ii Increatusl steadily and encouragingly during the lnt few years. On every hand It Is admitted that it Is both possible and necessary to raise all that I. needed for Iioiii- consumption. Alfalfa, Ilermudii grass, Johnson grass, crabgraas and cowiiens furnish an abundance of hay of the very liest quality. This hay can be pro-ilii'-ed much more cheaply than an equal quality can be shipped In from Northern and Western States. With I etter transortntlon fncllltlc and an Increasing demand, the production will liccome more and more profitable. At the Mime time, with hay raised on the home plantation, and hence cheaply and readily available, larger quantities are being used In feeding the planta tlon stock. Regalar Feeding aad Variety. Two thing are essential to the thrift of animal a variety In their food and regularity In It. receipt. One article of food cannot supply all the necessary sustenance, because It may lack some of the essential elements, and is almost mire to have aome Insufficient quanti ties.
