F n 4I b s Fodder. There are almost .as many ways o f feeding fodder to advantage as there are feeders. One very convenient meth od o f making a feeding rack for fodder has been sent us by a subscriber that is constructed around tbe fence In such a w ay that the cattle can reach through between some strong poles to obtain the fodder. The remainder of the rack la made o f common one-inch lumber. A rack o f this kind w ill pre vent waste, le easily filled from the outside o f the fence and the stock can not get in or hreak the rack i f it is properly constructed. A more elaborate rack la shown in this Illustration, which consists o f an ordinary hay rack around which has been constructed a guard made o f strong poles. The fod der is pat In the inside rack where the stock can reach it and the outside rack prevents waste by catching the pieces o f fodder that are pulled out by 'the stock.

The area In clover In 1902 was unusu ally large. Mnch o f the crop was ruined by a w et harvest aeaaon, but the catch o f clover waa all that could be desired. This summer there w ill be a large decrease in oat acreage, but a tact increase in clover. Thus even the disadvantages o f a water-logged season have their offset This year’s crop of clover w ill have a feeding value not easily estimated, and its effect in re storing fertility w ill have a percepti ble influence. I t is a significant fact that alfalfa sown last year ip the corn belt invariably made a good catch; more proof positive that conditions un der which clover w ill do well are ad mirably suited to lta relative, alfalfa. — L ive Stock World. very well. Another contributor sends ua a very good rack aa shown In the accompanying Illustration. This cor respondent has fenced In his fodder yard with an ordinary fence on two sides.

What la commonly termed an Ice monument la an annual formation of Ice weighing many tons, the result of severe low temperature upon an arti ficial fountain constructed at Parkers Glen, Pa., on the Delaware river. Dur ing tbe warm season, for th « past tw elve years, this fountain, which W capable o f throw ingj a stream to a height o f more than 100 feet, haa been a famous object o f interest to thou sands o f travelers.

Britain’s Postal Banks. The faict is odd: The postofllce sav ings banks of Great Britain are tech nically Insolvent- Their deposits at the end o f tbe year were $700,000,000, their assets only about $670,000,000. Nobody worries about a little thing like that; the government la responsi ble. O f course, the discrepancy rose from tbe high prices tbe department waa forced to pay for national bonds before the Boer war. The lowering o f the rate of Interest allowed la an obvious cure. The postal banka were authorised In 1861 and nearly $10,000,- 000 were deposited the first year. Some later developments are curious. By the “ slip” system a sum so small aa 2 cents can be deposited. Deposits can be withdrawn by telegraph. School saving banks are recognized, but are not successful, owing to tbe superior attractions of sweets as a medium of investment. A feature o f tbe postal banks la that through tbelr agency depositors can buy small fractional portions o f government bonds.—New York World. Alcohol, Tobacco The increase in the importa of Man churia in ten years has been, in tbe varions commodities, 100 to 600 per cent. The epitome revenue in 1902 was $910,000.

P e rm N ote«. A prominent English poultry breeder w ill make a large display of Old Eng lish game fowls and Dorkings In the poultry exhibit at the World's Fair. Ten acres of small fruits w ill often make a man more truly prosperous than ten times as much land In wheat or corn. H e may not be worth as much In actual capital Invested, but he w ill be getting a larger net income, and doing It with leas severe tolL The small farm well tilled, whether it be In fruits, dairy, vegetables, etc., la al most always tbe most satisfactory. Tbe principal capital needed to start such a farm la a level bead and knowl edge of tbe business. Mildew la one of tbe greatest obsta cles In the way of gooseberry growing In most parts of the country. A grow er of experience has found that salt bay spread over the whole surface of tbe ground to tbe depth o f three Inches la a preventive. Common coarse hay or bog grass, soaked in brine, would possibly answer just as well. On ac count o f tbe manner in which tbe salt absorbs water from tbe atmosphere, the mulching, and consequently the vines, are kept at an even temperature. In an experiment made to determine the absorptive powers of milk there was inclosed In jars a portion of milk, and In different jars, bat not In connec tion, different substances, giving off flavors. A t tbe end o f eight hoars a portion o f tbe milk waa drawn from near tbe bottom o f each jar, by means o f a plppette, so as not to disturb any part of the milk. In every one—of fifteen trials— the milk bad absorbed the flavor to auch an extent that It had penetrated the very lowest stra tum. When the grass Is allowed to produce seed It exhausts tbe soil more than when a crop o f hay Is cut 'before the seeds are permitted to appear. When seed beads form then the plant has fulfilled l^a mission and has stored In th«. seeds a larger proportion o f the mineral elements than remains In the stalks of the plants, In many cases, as the green plants, when cut down eprly, consist largely o f water. A grain crop and a crop o f seed from grass deprive the soil of a proportion o f all the fertilising substances existing therein.

I t la very important that good ven tilation la provided for the fowls dur ing the hot months, months when tbe nights ars oppressively close. Fowls w ill crowd together, no matter where they roost, and unless they be given pure, fregh^ air disease o f some kind w ill likely make Its ^appearance. A house, inexpensive and comfortable, may be arranged so that the sides and ends are entirely open. It matters but little bow open the house is during the hot months. What the fowls need most Is a dry place, with plenty o f fresh, pure air. An open shed does nicely for the snmmer months, but, o f course, the fowls must be made comfortable before tbe chill winds o f autumn be gin to arrive. One thing, though, that we should guard against la the common practice o f allowing the fovPls to roost in the tree tops. There la nothing more dan gerous. They Injure themselves by flying oat, and often cannot be broken to go to the house until after they have contracted colds from the fa ll winds and rains. Keep them in the house, but arrange it so that they w ill have plenty o f fresh air, yet not be subject to the many dangers o f a roost on the fence or tree top.— Home and Farm.
