A board fence extends along the north side, and this tends to break the force of the cold winds in early spring and late fall. The house itself is very sim ply built, by the arrangement shown requiring as few joints as possible. The glass windows on the south side oc cupy the entire center of the front of the house, and part of the roof. This arrangement gives an abundance of warmth and light In winter. Shingles are largely used and prove far cheaper than matched lumber. The pond in front need not of necessity be a pool of stagnant water. It should' have a gravelly bottom or be constructed with cement like a cistern. Then arrange ments should be made to renew the wster supply as often as there is dan ger of its becoming stagnant Where there is a windmill on the place this will not be a difficult matter, or where the connection is with a running brook the change of water may be made continuous. well-known breeder af Angus cattle has been rotating hew ho breeds and feeds cross bred cattle on. his Scottish farm. It may be well to see if a. wrinkle cannot he get from his practice. . He buys a number ef cross bred heifers, which he mates with S Polled Angus bull. He allows the heif ers to suckle their calves the following year, and at weaning time. the Inferior, heifers are fattened of, the best being eeld again, and sold as calving cows. To augment the number of stores thus obtained, he adopts a moot useful and exemplary system. He gives the nee of sis black-polled bulls to all neighbor ing .cow-keepers on condition that he Sets the calves. The owners of the cows, to whom the milk: supply Is. all Important, part with the calves cheaply and quickly.' These youngsters' have. therefore, to be reared by hand, and for the first ten 'weeks they are fed with new milk. From this point they are gradually transferred to a fresh diet ef skim-milk, linseed and oatmeal por ridge, and at four or five months they are entirely weaned, and- -are given cakes and meals along4rlth grass. The suckled calves receive no supplemen tary food uaUl they are weaned, at the age of seven or eight months. The calves are then put together, and fed with autumn tares, followed by turnips, and about three pounds each per day of cakes and meals during the first win ter. They' get no artificial food When on the grass, the following summer, but when driven into the courts early in autumn, turnips and sometimes pota toes, are fed in liberal Quantities. The cake snd meal feeding is also resumed, and the dally allowance gradually in creased, until at twenty months, each animal receives over eight pounds. They are generally ready for the fat market at from twenty to thirty months. This system Is found profitable etea at present prices, but It is insisted that the best snd purest class of bulls only be used. The breeder referred to employs Aberdeen-Angus sires from his pedigreed herd, but he suggests that pure-bred short horn bulls might be equally satisfactory. The heifers he buys for breeding from are generally cross bred lean Irish, and he serves them about April or May, when about eighteen months old.

WB1 MACHINERY aVNriat srsxx . Mxmmiiiic of several days or a week be estimated it Is usually found that there are less wide variations than are found from day to day. For the past three years we have an alyzed the milk of each individual cow of the Vermont Experiment Station herd twice a month, each sample being made up from eight consecutive rank ings. It has been found that the milk given when the cow is four months along in lactation is very nearly the average quality of the milk given by the cow in the course of the year; that if two analyses are made at this time, fifteen days apart, upon composite samples, the result will probably be within a tenth of one per cent of the actual average. The extremes of fluctuations in the quality of the milk of a cow are fre quently noted in the records of tests, public and private. Some of these are almost beyond belief, yet many are ap parently authentic The greatest change in quality of milk from day to day that has come under my personal observation, was that made by a registered Ayrshire owned by L. S. Drew, of Burlington, being 2.6S per cent fat change in two days. This is probably the most violent change on record where the test was controlled by chemical analysis. Has the cow a fixed quality of milk which she gives throughout life? Does a heifer in her first lactation, indicate truly her milking qualities, or may we expect gain or loss In years to come? Our records indicate in eight compari sons of heifers of our own raising, less than 20 per cent gain In per cent' of fat during tbe second milking period. Ap parently the same general character of the milk is maintained throughout life, although the quantity may be increased or diminished. Minor variations In quality may be expected, but large ones seldom occur. rnsn re so MAcmkxaY. c H2 1 : - '- --.. - " -'---.. - SkrixCitor Eaetne&Iron Works, Saaeessocs to Peek Iff?: Co., '--.- BImi tllr.

All who have bred the Black Leghorns in conjunc tion with the. other varieties of Leg horns will, I think, agree with me In tbe statement that experience proves that they are the best of the Leghorn family. They, are more hardy and lay more and larger eggs than any of the other varieties, and If a breeder keeps them once, he will always breed them. It is true a great many object to this breed on account of their color, claim ing when dressed for market they are not so salable as those that have skin of a more yellow color. This is not the case, however; the yellow that is now demanded In the legs is accom panied by a tinge of the same color in the skin, thus removing any objection on that point. Solid colored birds are preferable on account of the large per cent of chicks produced with correct plumage, and such birds that score high in the .show room can be mated with a greater expectation for Improve ment than the parti-colored ones, and by the beginner without the assistance of an expert No better winter or sum mer layer exists large white eggs that command the highest market price; they stand confinement' well, and if al lowed liberty are the best of foragers. What can be more beautiful than a proud fowl of graceful 'figure, with .glossy metallic black plumage, vermil ion comb, face and wattles, .pure white earlobcs and yellowish legs. They are certainly one of the handsomest breeds In existence. Regarding their history,. It commences-with Rc?d Watson's im portation in ,1871, .though as the Foul- try -World of December, 1875, states, there 'were accounts -of black fowls being brought over before. It has been said that a flock of Black Leghorns were', kept. on a -farm' near. Newark, N. J., .between 1845 "and .1850. They ..were imported to 'this country from Italy, the home of. the Leghorns.

About a year ago the Incubator fever seemed to become epidemic in this township, and several of my neighbors, among them friend Rogers, asked per mission to have drawings made from my incubator in order that they might have one made like it It is hardly necessary to add that permission was freely given, and in due .time there were at least half a dozen of these incubators (or incubuses), loaded to the muzzle with winter-priced eggs, silently at work. I doubt if ever flesh and blood received more tender and watchful care than did these things of wood snd tin. How oft in the stilly night did their anxious owners steal forth with lighted lamp, down into the chily dampness of the cellar, and with chattering teeth glue their eye to tne glass in the egg chamber and dart an eager glance at the thermome ter! As the critical time drew near these inanimate and unappreciative machines were as tenderly and con stantly waited upon as a country belle at a husking bee. Well, so far as I have been able to learn there was no sudden drop In the broiler market about that time. Seri ously, I believe I am keeping well with in the bounds of fact when I say that If every chick hatched last spring, and this year also, had lived to grow to broiler size, and had been sold at the top market price, they would not have brought sufficient to pay for the eggs that were set to bring them out I am sorry to mar the beauty of the picture that has been drawn, but these are cold facts, and It is facts that we need, if we would stand on safe ground. Why did not these machines hatch as well as mine, since they were pat terned after it? I don't know. Ilm-r. ine, however, that the location of the machines had much to do with It Mine is run in a very large, well ventilated cellar, while some of the others were placed in small, close cellars. I after ward bought one of these incubators which would not hatch for the owner, placed it beside my old machine and got a good hatch the first time. Saeceaa to DaJr-riaB-. There prevails among New England farmers too much of a spirit of dis couragement Many of them are im bued with the Idea that successful dairying cannot be practiced on these hilly farms. And yet scattered through out all these New England states are dairymen who are making as great fi nancial success with their cows as any in the land. They do this with hill farms and valley farms and with all sorts of cows. These successful men all agree on two or three things: (1.) The necessity of securing the best cow possible. (2.) The necessity of feeding a good cow liberally. (3.) The necessity of bringing up the pro ducing power of the farm so that it will raise all the food for the cows it possibly can. It seems that compre hends about all the problem, whether a man handles cows in Massachusetts or Wisconsin. In truth the problems of dairying are the same, and general methods of practice the same, cast or west Grange Homes. Aa Oplalea aa Caul Prices. Below we give a short fticle repro duced from n Chicago paper. We do not' know how reliable the statements are and only give them as one man's opinion: Colonel D. R. Fsut advises the frugal housewife to begin to teach her family to live on oatmeal and popcorn. He has just come up from Texas with a string of cattle, which placed end to end would reach' into Macoupin county, and de clares there are not enough feeders left on the ranches to even supply the de mands of the stockmen. He predicts that the retail price of meat has only fairly started on its upward flight, and suggests that the winter will see the great eating public converted Into a vegetarian one. Colonel Faut who is all right at any' point in the trail, is not given to fairy tales. He has supplied nearly 1.000,000 beeves from his 200,000-acre pasture in Camaron- county and this yesr he pro poses to keep the roast and sirloin pro ducers eating grass on the plains, ad ding a cent a day for each pound of his bunch of 20,000. It is the strangest condition of affairs in his memory-ran honest recollection which goes back to the days when cowboys drove the animals 2,000 milesacrossan unexplored country into the wilderness around Aurora and Elgin and then shipped to Chicago. Indians and desperadoes Iiar rassed cattle men-in those days, and while the colonel does not long for old times he laments the fact that prosy civilization has robbed the country of its old-time picturesqueness. "Meat is high, simply because cattle are scarce." he said. "It would not bfl without the province of the packing men to form a combine, and they would do it did it mean a nickel. There is no such agreement at this time, prob ably, because it is not necessary. Stock men in Texas are paying as high as $5 a head more for live cattle than ever before, and the demand is twice as great as the supply. Besides this the drought has filled the plains with dead carcasses. There are thousands and thousands of prairie acres without a hoof upon them. The owners who saved their stock are holding it until next year, and the very conditions of things point to a mucn greater increase in prices than has been experienced. "This Is the first Ume since the war that cattle have been worth more on foot than dressed. In other years it has been the custom to drive large herds into the Indian territory to fatten, but this year the growers are only shippitig in car lots and holding every animal possible. The same conditions exist all over the western country, and I tell you, for once the people are not being robbed by a combination, but they are paying for meat exactly what the de creased quantity of cattle makes abso lutely necessary." n-BBb-t-ammmmmmms-a-a-aaamBBmTto m --tMaBB3ttHEpBa-"3E "Early Feat Tae.Iew price" ef hogs has.beea a bit ter disappointment .to many farmers.

Inches from .the ground,-and' tbe nests upon the ground, and the building is ready for a dozen hens or thirty to fifty chick ens. Two men can easily move these .buildings once a week, and' thus- not only will a large area be well fertil ized during the season, but the stock be colonized away from winter onar- ters, where a larger measure of the food. suppiy win hb vuuubcu. -riace tne nock in one of these coops after dark,' and keep shut up for twenty-four hours, and there will beo trouble afterwards about-their finding -their own home. The material .for these buildings will cost not far from 75 cents to $1 each and will last several years. Having used them for years, we can testify to' their value. Ex. Feed aad Milk Flavors. It seems to me injudicious to cast even seeming doubt on the fact that the food does not affect the flavor of the milk, and especially of the butter, and this all the more so because these ill flavors mostly consist of oils that (it is my firm belief, as well as the belief of many others) are Intimately connected with the product of the cow's butter. Forty years' experience and careful study of this matter convince me 'that the selection of the food is tbe most important element both of quantity and quality including tbe odor and the flavor of the butter, and those who stand in the position of instructors of farmers and dairymen should be care ful not to mislead, even by implication, in respect to questions of this kind, and if any leaning any way is to be permitted. It should be on the side of safety. I am as certain that musty food will affect the flavor of butter as that onions or turnips will. And the. mixture of other food, while it might dilute the effect, cannot neutralize it H. Stewart, in Country Gentleman. Lucy Gosseti colored, of Mount Ster ling. Ky.. Masblagly admits her 1S5 years. - ' .-. Swallows have been seen at sea over b thousand miles "frdtn land. Silage for Sheep The question is often asked. How much will the ani mals need a day of silage? Of course everything depends upon the amount of other food that is given to them, but high-grade sheep should not' be given much more or less -than between two and three pounds of silage per day. They should have also with this about one pound of hay .a day, and when grains are given also, even in moderate quantities, the amount of silage and hay; may be reduced. The hay and silage alone will fatten and keep the animals in. splendid health, but grain of some kind should be fed about twice .a week to make 'sure of strong animals and 'a good litter of lambs to follow. Bran and. oats are the best grains to feed with the silage and hay. Wool Markets. ' SOMETHING WRONG. the long name, 'said that the beast was I ovcrworKeu,- inu snouiu oe unnar nessed and rubbed down. Another man advised her to back a oit and take a new start A fourth .suggested that If she would drive right on, sparks or no sparks, the difticnlty would remedy it self; while still another Insisted that unless a new tiro be put on tbe wheel, the whole outfit would collapse. These conflicting counsels increased tbe con fusion of the distressed lady,- bnt they did not make the wheel go round. 'Just then a carriage drove up, a gen tleman got out and asked what was the matter. One of the bystanders said it was a brakedown, while each of eleven others gave a different explanation as to why the wheel wouldn't go round. The stranger examined the turnout, led the pony forward a step, and as the sparks began flying, remarked: 'Madam, your horse, harness, cart and wheel are all right. The sparks that the tire draws from the curbstones are merely outward symptoms of the in ward ailment. .The real difficulty is not with tbe. tire of the wheel, but with its axle, or its 'boa.' ". Just what the man did next is not necessary to state, but in less than ten minutes the entire trouble was ended. He had re moved the cause instead of temporizing with the effect. As the lady drove on rejoicing some one remarked: "How few people in the world reason down to the root of things, and at the same time carry in their heads the -know how' that makes the wheels go round." It is just this lack of reasoning down to the root of things that is today caus ing intense suffering to thousands of men and women; and for this suffering, to a great extent, man is to blame Refined, educated, intelligent men, who have spent eight or ten of the best years of their lives in colleges, med ical schools and hospitals, cling to the false, childish theory of doctoring the tire, as it were,' instead of doctoring the axle, or its "hot box." They direct their attention to where they see the sparks flying, instead of working upon the hidden bpot where the real trouble lies. Tho consequence is they never acquire the "know how," which ena bles them to regulate the wheels of life. When the sparks of pain fairly fly from a woman's head, her back, her limbs, or the most important and sens itive organs of her body, it is as sense less to resort to "local applications," pain cures, or stimulants, as it is to grease the tire, whip the horse, or drive on regardless of consequences. Those people try to cure symptoms instead of reasoning to the root of things and re moving the cause of the disorder. The result is physical patchwork and fail 'ure instead of -success. A most conspicuous exception to this rule is the man who, nearly thirty years ago, proclaimed that he would not make such mistakes, but would de vote himself to reasoning to the root of disease, and to the discovery of a new principle for its treatment' Many thousand letters of gratitude from for mer patients in all parts of America, have told this physician that he has been successful beyond even his own expectations. This man is Dr. K. V. lleto.), of liuffalo, N. ., who has for more than a quarter of a ce'ntury been the head of the most complete and suc cessful Health Institute in America, the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Insti tute, and whose "Golden Medical Dis covery," --Favorite Prescription," and "Pleasant Pellets," have converted thousands of men and women, in every State of this Union and in many for eign lands, from absolute misery to physical vigor and happiness, and whose People's Common Sense Medical Adviser has had the greatest sale of any medical work ever published amounting to over 080, 000 copies.. ... In his research, and practice pr: Pierce proceeded! the common sense principle that &e blood could carry life or destruction to every pari of the body. That Jbe liver wis" the-'housekeeper' ofne human system. That when the liver becomes disordered the blood is charged with prison wbjch is carried through the body and pzAtiuces snch ailments as consumption; heart disease, scrofulous and broncnal disor ders, as well as dropsy, rfenmatism and "female complaints.". Mis "Golden Medical Discovet-y" acts earlecialry upon the liver and otjrer excretpry organs. It cleanses the bjood, repairs, invigorates and gives new life to the whole system. The action of this "Discovery" is aided in stubborn cases of costiveness by Dr. Pierce'6 Pleasant Pellets, whieh also embody an entirely new principle. While there are not three cases of these diseases in a hundred which Dr. Pierce's remedies will not relieve or cure, it happens sometimes that chronic and seriously complicated and long neglected disorders require addi tional home treatment In all such rare and exceptional cases Dr. Pierce will, upon receiving particulars in writing, send free of charge, such plain, straightforward, confidential advice aa will enable the sufferer to And relief and cure if the case is curable.

Highest oT an m UntamfipmaLmfatt JJ.S.GlMitpmt wmm Am&owwax PURE HOW SARDOU WRITES. Tbe Great Dramatist llollrfs a Flay 'n Seleatlnc Fahloa. Sardotrs way. of working Is as 'fol lows: The moment- an Idea occurs to him be nnts it down-, and all the various notes, documents and particulars which hare to do with this idea arc joined to gether, forming a sort of dossier. When the idea is crystallized into dramatic shape, Snrdott writes a scenario of a few pages, giving the skeleton, as it were, of the whole play. Then he puts the work aside. All his various schemes are treated in the same way. He has at the present day from seventy to eighty dossiers in his drawers, out of which eight or ten plays will come. So. when he has to write a drama or comedy, he only chooses. For instance. "Theodora" was written fifteen years after it originated in the author's mind. As soon as Sardou's choice is made be reads over all the accompanying notes and documents which pertain to that play and then he begins to write the drama or comedy, act by act, scene by srenr, as they, come into his mind. When he has done this preliminary work he rewrites the piece on large white quarto paper. The play is then reduced and condensed. It is this sec ond manuscript which is given to the copyist, to whom is intrusted the care of putting it in shape. All thiS writing is ordinarily done at Marly. Sardou is not disturbed there as he is in Paris. A Cheaper Grade. Jerome K.

A robust young man, wearing a thick terra cotta overcoat, and a somewhat consumptive-looking companion, minus an overcoat, left a well-known Chesnut street cafe together at a late hour on Saturday night, says the Philadelphia Record. The former generously ten dered his warm outer garment to his shivering companion, who gratefully accepted it for the walk home. On turn ing the corner of Sixteenth and Locust streets the pair were closely scrutinized by a big policeman. Arrived at hi home. the thin man returned the coat to his stout friend, and the latter start ed back toward his hotel on Broad street When he reached the corner of Sixteenth street the policeman grabbed him. "Pretty slick guy, you are!" he claimed: "but I'm on to that little over coat racket. I guess you got his pocket book, too." "What do you mean, sir?" demanded the indignant citizen. "You just take a ride to the station-house," mildly urged the cop, "and tell the sergeant how you managed to get into that other man's overcoat." Pretestations were in vain. The mad man, with the terra-cotta overcoat, had to bubmit, and only the presence of his thin friend, whom he promptly sent for, feaved him from a cell. toys and girls are married, thev are perfect strangers.

The colonial kitchens lasted in many country houses until about fifty years ago. There are men and women still living who vividly describe their glor ies. They were low, with heavy rafters lighted by small-paned windows, for glass was a luxury in those days. The chairs had narrow, high backs and rush seats. There was, besides, a rudely shaped "settee." The great wood fire burned its prodigious back log in the chimney, and was never allowed to en tircly die out. Banked with ashes In the evening, there was always supposed to be a spark to rekindle into new flames in the morning. Not long ago a woman died whose pride it was to say that in the forty years of her married life the hearth fire never once went out. If so dire a mischance arose a child was sent to the nearest neighbor with a shovel to "borrow fire," and from the glowing pine knot relighting was again possible. Along the walls were fes toons of dried fruits and vegetables. A Pis; With a Trunk.
