JIM II» Handy Carrier. The accompanying illustration is pre­ sented in the hope that some one may be assisted in lightening the farm la­ bors by the use of this ensilage or ma­ nure carrier. The illustration is taken from Farm, Field and Fireside. G G G is a track of iron such as is used for barn doors, and F a car for carrying the manure or ensilage. Fasten the track securely to the celling either ahead or behind the cows, acording as It is desired for use in feeding or in stable cleaning, running it the whole length or clear around the stable as is most convenient, the carrier being so constructed that the wheels will turn on a curve in the track. Four carrier wheels are bolted in pairs to the blocks, A A, and hung to the track, the blocks runuing close to the track to prevent the wheels jumping off. These blocks are bolted to a heavy scantling, B B, under them, to connect them a single liolt only being used In each block, thus allowing the wheels to turn the curve in the track as referred to above. D is a crossbar above the car and to which the car F is hung by rods, II H, the lower ends of the rods booking into staples near the bottom of the car. There may b a rod from the crossbar D to the back end of the car to steady It until ready to dump, which can be done easily by simply unhooking this rod.

It was a red hot afternoon, and the bleechers were like frying pans at breakfast time. Jim had a bald head and John hajl a crick in the back They sat for an underdone roast and laughed at everything.

A flock of roving turkeys may not cost, their owner a great deal if his neighbors are patient and uncomplain­ ing people, otherwise they may cost him a lawsuit and damages, or, at least a big lot of unneighborly feeling. On the theory that* turkeys can get their own living and are not great eaters, they are too often left wholly to their own resources. Tills neglect leads them to wander far and wide for food, to commit depredations in neighbors’ gar­ dens and truck patches, to fall a prey to the wrathful stranger’s club or dog, or perhaps to change homes to that of a farmer who treats his poultry with greater generosity. It Is good policy, even at this season, to keep faithful watch o\ er the flocks, to notice where they roam in the daytime and where they stay at night, and whenever they come about the premises to make friends with them by throwing out a little grain. The turkey crop will not be ripe until Thanksgiving, but it will be well to cultivate it now.—Farm Jour­ nal. Hot Weather Milk Can.

Harness that Fit. Whenever a working horse is sold the harness it has been accustomed to ; work in, if at all a tit, should be sold with it. This is especially true of the collar, against which the pull mostly comes. If there are inequalities in the collar there are probably calluses to x-orresnond on the horse’s shoulder and nick. A new harness, though it may seem to fit all right, may liear harder on places not properly toughened by contact with the collar. In a stable each horse should have Its own collar, for by use each animal has become adapted to the one he has been most accustomed to wearing. Grow Navy Beans.
