Use bolts of proper length for all of

flan In Poultry ltoamr.
The time-honored plan of building
(Miultry hoUHo-t was to fare them due
south, when, as a matter of fact, they
should be faced southeast, which glvcj
the sun In tho houio early In the
morning when tlm poultry need It uior,t
during the winter, and then tho sun
shine In the lioune nearly or quite all
day. especially If a window la placed
In tho southwest side. In cold cli
mates It Is not wise to have entire
glass fronts, for the action of tbe air
on tlio glass after tbe sun goes down
makes such houses very cold at nlgbt.
In the average poultry house, bold
luj from twenty-five to tlfty hens, win
(lows four by eight on two side, of the
house would he sufficiently large, and
even then some way should be pro
vided for covering them at night. For
this purpose nothing Is better than old
burlap hung on a roller with button
holes worked at Intervals along the
side so that when down It can be
fastened over carriage buttons driven
In tbe sides of tlio casing. This will
keep the house snug and warm even
on cold winter nights.
A Tlarrel Wed Hack.
An Ideal way of feeding a few sheep
or calves Is to take a large barrel, such
as crackers aro packed In, and cut out
openings in the stave-) between the
two layers of hoops, making these open
ings Just large enough so that Uie ani
mal can get Its bead In and out read-
lly. Place the barrel In position and
hold It lu place by driving several
stakes Into tho ground and fastening
them to the barrel. Of course tho top
of the barrel la open. The hay or oth
er roughage la thrown lu tho top and
the animals eat through tho holes cut
In tho staves aa described. This Is a
simple feeding rack, which any one
could make and ouo which will save
much waste of roughage. The Illustra
tion shows the Idea so clearly that no
further explanation Is needed. Indian

Tho numerous estimates made by
the Arkansas Station as regards the
yield of hay from a crop of peanuts
varies from one to very nearly three
tons per acre. This hay la usually
worth nt least $10 a ton nnd may he
considered a by-product when tho uuts
uro harvested for market. In connec
tion with tho value of peanuts aa a
fnrugo crop, It may bo noted that In
Virginia there Is a man who has been
nccumulntlug n tidy furtuno through
the quality of tho hams cured and
packed by him. Those bams havo a
rich and sweet llavor which makes
(hum lu great demand at Increased
pilcea. Tho packer ouch year goes
through neighboring States buying up
ruxor-backa which he baa shipped to
his farm. It Is there that they nro
given a food which Imparts tho ttavor

Work and I'lar ror Ilorac.
What Uie horses of the farm hare to
do depend upon the nature of Uie
work and how well used they aro to
It, consequently the horse should bo
treated accordingly. If tho horses havo
heavy spring plowing to do, with more
or less road work In tlio summer, then
harvesting and more plowing In the
fall, and It Is Intended to use them for
heavy drafting In the winter, It will
pay to divide the work In somo way
so that tbey will hare a little chance
for rest The argument that rainy
days and Sundays aro sufficient for
Die animals docs not hold good In nil
case. In our experience we find It
pays to havo reasonably abort hours
for the horsci, and not to glva them
driving every day there happen to bo
a little lull In tbe work of the farm.
We feed strictly In accordance with
the work to be done, and contrive. In
some way, so that every horse will
hare a turn at tho pasture.evcn though
It be only an hour or two at night. It
Is not a good plan to attempt to carry
the horses through from year to year
without tho pasture. (Sreen food cut
and pticetl In the manger Is not Ur
sa mc. The open air, tho freedom from
the harness, the yielding of the soft
turf nnd tbe biting of the gnus are
essential to hones, and It pays to let
them have a spell at It,

The driver ot every team should be
supplied with a bag of some kind for
holding feed for bis horses, an be sel
dom Is sure where be
will be when feeding
time comes. Some
drivers arc very care
ful In this respect
while others make
use of anything that
Is available. Quite
a large number ot
feed bags are in use,
tbe majority being
rr.zu bao. constructed so that
they can be attached and suspended to.
tbe side of the bone's bead. This does
not give tbe bone any freedom to
move bis bead without moving the
bag also. A Philadelphia man has pat
ented an exceedingly simple feed bag
which overcomes this fault, an Illustra
tion of which Is, shown here. Tbe bot
tom and sides are made of canvas or
other flexible material, while tbe top
consists of a circular frame divided
Into two sections, which are connected
by small loops. Supporting tbe bag
are twp metal rods, one on each side,
having hooks at tbe end which fit Into
the loops In tho frame. In tbe center
and at tbe other end ot the rods aro
circular loops which are shaped to fit
over the shaft of tbe vehicle. It can
easily be seen bow easily this could
be done, tbe bag always remaining In
posltlou where tbe bone could con
veniently reach the feed, at tbe same
time being able to more bis bead free
ly. This feed bag has tbe additional
advantage that It can be folded up
when not In use.
Special Dairy Train School.
One of tho latest educational enter
prises Is the special dairy train sent
out by a creamery company for the
purpose of reaching farmers In the
