Lockner is a baker in the city of Utica and was found guilty of permitting an employe to work in his bakery more than 60 hours in a week, and fined $50.

An Illinois farmer, evidently a poul try raiser, haa patented the automatic ooullrv feeder which la abown In tbe Illustration. As aood as daylight ap pears, chickens are about and ready for tbetr morning meal, and to pro duce good stock their wants must be attended to. This meanr that tbe poultry raiser mnst be awake early In u'u B,u" " . , . . . a M . V. I this automatic feeder Is designed to do """ ctoci; ! ucnu(u w " - It for him. It consists of a hopper hav ing an outlet, this outlet being closed by means of a partition or diaphragm. which is Independent of the wslls of the hopper and being pirotally mount ed at Its lower end. This partition or pivoted door can be adjusted to any AUTOMATICAIXT FEED POTT.TBT. Intermediate point, so that the capaci ty of tbe hopper may be varied and an unobstructed discharge maintained. A latch arm Is connected to the pivot ed door, this latch arm being con trolled by an electro-magnet The lat ter 1 operated by a clock, so that the contents of the hopper can be emptied at any predetermined time. Hone-Made SabeoU Plow. A very serviceable and practical sub- soller may be constructed with but lit tle work. The beam and handle are tbe same as any other plow stock. The two uprights which support the plow point can be made from pieces of old waeon tire, each two feet long. The point bar should be about the same length and about two inches square from one upright attachment to the other. Tbe front end should be made with good steel, well tempered and drawn to a point which is best If made wide and flat The uprights are at tached to thes beam by stirrups or clamps made of three-quarter-Inch Iron rod. The front upright should be sharp ened on its front side, which will as sist In cutting tbe old roots and thick clay. This plow will break tbe bottom of a HOME-MADE 6UBSOILCB. furrow mjide by any two-horse break ing plow. If made for one-horse, It should be constructed lighter, and need hare but a single upright. It Is espe cially adapted to loosening up sod which has become very solid from long tramping. Farm and Home. . Duck Egg. Those who have batched both duck eggsand hen eggs in an Incubator claim that they cannot expect as good hatches from the duck eggs as from the hen eggs. For some reason the ducks, many of tbem, die in tbe shell. The reason may be Insufficiency of moisture, as a duck egg requires much moisture to hatch wen. Ducks are very near to fish In kinship. The duck in returning to her nest brings moisture on her feathers. And yet enough ducks are usually hatched in the Incubator to pay for the batching In that way, though one does not un derstand all the requirements to get a good hatch. They are not so liable to have the life crushed out of them In an incubator as under a hen, for, like a gosling, they are very weak for the rat day or two and easily killed. There are Incuhators made nowadays to hatch every kind of an egg from that of a humming bird to the ostrich. Hint About Driving;. Don't trot the horse down hill. It Jars the shoulders, weakens the ten dons and springs tne Knees. It you need to drive fast, send him along on the level and when you come to an up grade, let him break Into a run, then take hi time down hill. The change from a trot to a run brings into play a different set of muscles and does not fatigue the horse so much a If he keeps up a trot all the while. . Keep the Towns Stock Growing-. The calves, the colts, the pigs, all from the time they were put in winter quarters until spring, should suffer no cessation In their growth. The calve fr .-ok- if L 1 -J JUu ' it a or yearlings and colts should be kept steadily vigorous and growing; not merely holding their own, bat Increas ing in size and proportion; not neces sarily tbe laying oa of fat, but the en largement of frame and muscle, wlUj a healthy vigor. Expensive Farming-. When one sees a farmer boylng ex pensive grain and feeding It to stock that are boused in bleak yards or In cloaures through which cold drafts blow and snow drifts around the ani mals, one concludes this husbandman is Indulging la expensive farming. Any management of Ilv stock or farms that doea not return a handsome profit Is expensive agriculture. Too many Infer that expensive manage ment of firms and live stock Implies luxurious buildings and Llshprloed help. Unquestionably too much cap ital can be Invested in appointment for remunerative operation of farms, but all rural buildings should be sub stantial and constructed for warmth as well as ventilation. It Is a wrong Idea that young cattle should be unreasonably exposed In or der to give them a rugged constitution. Tbe hardening process stunts the ani mals and prevents the development of their greatest commercial possibilities. Cattle raised In open yards, or cold lnclosures, never display the thrift nor make the rapid growth which charac terise stock raised nnder more gener ous conditions. An -animal that nom inally ahould realize SG0 at 3 years old, nnder generous treatment, will be a slow seller at $30 nnder the exposure regime. Drover JournaL Water for Ftrn Animals. It la admitted that water is essential to the well-being of humans, and If this Is so, why should anyone presume to think that animals can get along with little or .no water) Yet that Is the plan on which many farmers work. The cows and horses are, perhaps properly watered, but tbe other farm animal are given little water. In aeries of experiment carried on by th writer a number of year ago' It was found that sheep, swine and poultry gav us nearly 20 per cent better re- tarn when regularly and carefully wa tered than when the water wa given but occasionally. That is, the egg supply was larger from tbe bens, and tbe sheep and hogs kept to the 'desired weight More than this, we found there was less trouble with diseases, particularly those that had the rtomach for their base of at tack. It la now a regular practice to give all the animals on the farm reg ular supplle of clean water. In water ing the sheep and swine, troughs are provided and kept for the purpose. After the animals have drunk, the troughs are removed, so that there I no chance of them being defiled. It will pay every time to water all farm animals regularly and with clean wa ter. Indianapolis News. Clean, Quick Sap Boiling;. In handling sap every precaution should be taken to keep out dirt, and the sooner the sap is boiled after it runs from the tree the better for the quality of the sugar. A dark-colored product Is far from desirable, and quick, clean work Is necessary to se cure a clear, light shade. Maple sugar Is marketed at a time of year when there Is little else to sell from tbe farm, and when other work Is not es pecially rushing. Modern sugar mak ing with modern utensils and business like methods is a profitable enterprise. and a source of extra Income which should not be neglected. A Rulnou Method. To depend upon the use of purchased fertilizers, to the neglect of such as can be produced on the farm for the production of each year's crop, is a ruinous method, which, while it may not prove Immediately disastrous, is sure to impoverish succeeding genera tions. American Cultivator. Porting? Pay. . I had a remarkable crop of 7,000 bushels of apples this year, says A. D. Appletree Barnes of Wisconsin, and by careful assorting and handling was able to sell them for $1,215. I tell you there Is nothing Jike systematic sorting and careful handling to make apples pay. , Tha Colt'a Feet. When tbe colt is growing, the hoofs should be looked to occasionally to see if they do not require trimming. . Poultry Yard rickinira. Cheap food is always at the expense of quality. Quality in food for poultry is what gives It value. No food Is cheap that does not bring paying results. Damaged food Invites indigestion and various bowel trouble. Lack of grit when snow covers th ground endangers the flock's health. Provide plenty of nests where there are many hens or pullets. ' Grit, either oyster shells or crushed granite, should be kept under cover accessible to the poultry In all the houses during the winter. Keep the cockerels and pullets sep arate until a couple of weeks before you commence saving eggs for hatch ing. Both will be th better for th plan.
