1 MM Al GARDEN. I L Separate Coin and Clorer Silo. F. H. King, of the Wisconsin Station, believes that it may be found best under some circumstances to make the corn and clover silage in separate silo? or separate compart ments of the same silo. Such an ar rangement would make it possible to practice a definite alternation or chauge of feed both for the sake of a change of diet and a more nearly bal anced ration. But to do this a perfect system of feeding would have to be followed, and it would be further necessary to arrange tho two silos so that the com bined feeding surface would equal that of a single pit. The corn silo Vonld have the larger capacity ehero ever corn can be produced to good ad vantage; still a large amount of clover fchould be produced annually in rota tion, and this should be fed as a rule in preference to simply turning it un der for green manure. Mice Proof lice Hires. In preparing chaff hives for winter, we should bo careful to make them nice proof. Nothing suits the little rodents better than to get into a ehaflt hive where they havo the benefit of tho warmth of the bees. They arc very damaging, and will eat up the en tire stores of tho colony in a short time, leaving ILe bees to starve. The entrance to the hive should be just three-eighths of an inch wide.no more, no less. If more than this, it will ad mit of mice, and if less, it will not ad mit all tho bees in a satisfactory man ner. Mice are the most destructive pesta we have to contend with in con nection with bees. They will render a lot of valuable comb honey worth less for market purposes in a very short time, if they gain access to it. They will ala" destroy empty combs, and especially those that contain more Or less honey or policy. By opening it chaff hive in winter, they may be readily detected by holes in the chaff, which 6how their burrowing places. If a thorough search fails to disclose them, they may be gotien rid of by poisou. A 319 Henhouse. The chicken coop illustrated below costs 10 and is large enough for a dozen fowls. The .coops are built Raven by ten feet, of boards costing $6 per M. From ground tc eaves the distance or the length of boards is two and a hah feet. Tho roof boards are live feet long and are covered with tarrod paper. The doorway in front on the Fouth side is twenty inches wide by live feet high. This kind of coop does first rate for summer and fairly well for winter use. There is one great objection to it. The snows A CHEAP .CHICKEN COOP. blow in in the winter (for the doora are made of lath) aud fowls with large eoaiba like Leghorns or Minorcas freeze their eomb3 and are not apt to lay well din ing the winter. However, a more substantial door can be placed on the building. New England Iloniosiead. Thrifty Calve. Beef cattle, to be profitable, must make n quick growth and mature early, lu addition to this they must be of pood quality, aud, of course, a good class cf cattle at the outset is essen tial. An ill-bred beast, even when given good treatment, will not make the growth and development necessary to the securing of the best quality of beef. Iu addition to this must also hs considered the question of cost, for the better-bred animal will make a better use cf the food supplied, so that a giveu weight can nearly always be necurcd at a lesj ccat with tho better bred aniir.al than with the ordiuary beast, aud as every item must be con sidered when tho best profit is to be realized, Ibis and the better price it in possible to obtain must not be lost Fight of iu securing well-bred animals. Bat well-bred stock is only the start, for, no matter how good tho breed, the best results ara not possible unless :ude(l by good feed and good care. It is very important to seem e a vigorous, thrifty growth from the start, and in tbo majority cf case the more fully this is dona the better will bo the re sults secured. It the calf is given a good si art the fiist summer it is easy to maintain a good growth on to ma turity. A stunted animal of any kind never makes the growth and development that it otherwise would. It is only by i t thing the growth that early matur ity is possible, and in noarly all cases the earlier tho maturity the better the profits. With growing calves, as with pigs and lamb3, the amount of the ration must be determined by the con dition of the animals. Some will re quire more than others, and their con dition should determine how much should be fed. It is much more economical to feed liberally aud main tain a good growth than to feed a small quantity and to secure little or no gain. C. G. Frcer-Thonger, in the London Farm and Home. Hay and Forage. Last year the demand for hay was so slack that many farmers neglected the hay fields last fall and even plowed some under for other crops; but the unusually good market which has prevailed for some time now has caused regret, among those who too hastily did away with their hay crops. Nevertheless the hay crop promises to be moderately fair this year, and in view of the good demand for it un usual attention should bo given to the process of cutting and curing it for market. It is true that the Govern ment bnys laro quantities of second gTacle hay for its uses, and this factor bus been one of tho most important in the market this year, but the Govern ment never, pays the highest prices. Bidding for Targe quantities as it does, it secures minimum prices for the quality of hay supplied. ' - ; This takes from the market large quantities of surplus hay, and gives other grades a better opportunity to find customers. It helps to make ZL ' ' lower grades more valuable, but n Je ly affects the best quality. This fit ter sells itself, and in any season it will find customers when low grades are a drug on the market. Conse quently it is the only kind of hay that the farmer can conscientiously strive to provide. But prime hay must consist of first class timothy, cured and kept in the best possible way. It must be free from mould, 6 tain, odors or any other defects. If one has a fine timothy field it will pay to devote considerable time and labor to cutting and curing it. In the end all the extra labor will be paid for. But as there are many fields of grass that will not make prime tim othy hay, it is a question, sometimes, what to do with it. If there are in dications of a good market, it will pay to give as much attention to curing this hay as the best timothy, for the grades approximating prime timothy sell only for a few cents a hundred weight less. A good deal of the final valuation of this hay will depend upon the cutting, curing and packing for market. This more often determines the selling price of hay than the actual condition of the grass before cutting. But if the hay is indifferent and bad in the field it will pay best to use the land for something else. A run-down hay field is of little real value in these days of close competition. TV. E.

It can be at tached to the hitching-post just high enough to clear the animal's back. The cow or calf will be grateful for its f hade, and in tho case of a calf will make a much better growth. The re volving piece of wood about the post about which the rope is tied is a de vice for preventing the animal from winding the rope around its hitching- post. New York Tribune. rreparing Com Ground For Wheat. The usual manner in which corn land is prepared for wheat is to havo cultivation cease at harvest, then wait until the corn is cut up, harrow the ground over and then drill on the wheat. This is one of the reasons why corn laud is not considered good for wheat by so many farmers. "Waiting until the com is ripe enough to cut up, nearly always makes it too late for wheat. Corn land, for some reason, does not push the young wheat plant along as fast as some other land, hence it is very important that the wheat be sown quite early in order to get a good root and top so it will bo better able to stand the severe freez ing and thawing during the winter. This large growth of root and top cannot be obtained if you have to wait until tho corn is cut up. There is a one-horse wheat drill, with five hoes, invented, that entirely over comes this difficulty, and often pays for itself three or four times over in sowing twenty aeica cf wheat. We would not attempt to sow wheat after corn if we always had to wait until the corn was cut. However, some times thi3 can't bo helped for a wind storm may blow the corn down so it would be impossible to go through it with a horse. Wo put a great deal cf work on our wheat land and consider it time well spent. 1 might say that we never saw anything else but corn laud, and this is the way we do it: Our corn is kept cultivated all through July aud August aud not a weed is allowed to grow. This trcquent cultivation not only helps to make a better corn crop, but keeps the ground cleau and mellow and helps to conserve the moisture, which will be needed to help start the wheat. The last week in August wo com mence the final preparation of the ground for wheat. Wo use cultiva tors with five teeth or shovels not lesn than four inches wide. Our cultiva tors are set wide enough to reach across by going twice in a row. We go through both ways twice in a row and then finish for the drill by going once in a row with a twelve or four teen tooth cultivator set wide enough to complete a row at once through. This is merely to level the ground so to work better with the drill. "We then have a complete shallow seed bed that has been tumbled about and thoroughly mixed together with these wide cultivator teeth. There is something about this thorough mix ing of the soil that "tells" on the growing crop. It makes more plant food available so the crop can use it in making its growth. If some doubt the benefit of this, let them try it for themselves. We want to bow our wheat from the first to the tenth of September, and by using the one horse drill, we can do this, leaving us to cut our corn at our leisure. However, it is best to cut the corn as soon as it will do, and to get the corn and fodder off the ground as soon as practicable for the benefit of the wheat. Taking off the corn necessarily musses up the wheat, and makes it look for the time like much injury was done. But soon the wheat will cover up all these little injuries by its growth and at harvest time nothing will be noticed except where the shock of corn stood, and this spot will be grea ily reduced. Wheat grown iu this way can be grown more cheaply than in any other way, and if done in the right manner wo will not hear so much about corn 'ground not being good for wheat. I. N. Cowdrey, in Farm, Field and Fireside. i vvvm GOOD EOADS NOTES. A Friend In Need. In crying "Gocd Roads!" through the land The cycle shouts to beat the band, And now a friend has come to help it Because the motor's here to yelp it. Good Roads Educational Campaign. About the only way to accomplish anything is to get at it and do it. The good roads movement has been prac tical in spots in Massachusetts and New Jersey and in portions of other States, but, as a matter of fact, up to the present time the work has been largely "in the air." It is gratifying to note that the good roads workers of tne country are preparing to get tneir feet on the ground. On November 23, 1898, the Inter state Good -Boads and Public Im provement Association was organized at St. Louis. Tho officers elected were directed to inaugurate an Inter state Campaign of Education by hold ing State and as many district conven tions as possible, in the twenty-two States represented. Conventions are already called for a dozen cities in Illinois. Reduced rates on all rail roads will be granted delegates who attend the conventions, manufacturers of improved road machinery will build sample roads and give instruction iu the best methods of using machinery. Premiums and other inducements will be offered, to make the conventions instructive to the communities in which they will be called. While it will be the purpose of the movement to induce all communities to ultimately secure the best of mac adam roads, the present aim will be to have every section, make the best use of whatever inems may be at hand, and thus gradually prepare the foun dation for the better roads to come. The conventions are called for the purpose of organization, agitation and education, to improvo existing meth ods. About $4,000,000 are annually spent in Illinois for road purposes. If this sum was judiciously expended and the dirt roads were properly graded, tiled or drained and rolled, in the near future every community would be practically benefited. Tho Office of Road Inquiry at Wash ington will co-operate in tho work of making the conventions a success, and General Roy Stouo, director; Mr. E. G. Harrison, expert, aud, it is hoped, Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of Agri culture, and other speakers of national reputation, will address the people, showiug tho governmental and com mercial interests in this department of public service. Keller Roads For Motor Power. The propelling power of the future, in rural districts as well as in tho cities, will be electricity and com pressed air. The horseless age is almost upon us. Great factories are now preparing to turn .out motor vehicles by the thousands aud hun dreds of thousands, and there is little doubt that only a few years will elapse before they will be in general use throughout the country. Not oaly will motor and compressed air vehicles be used for pleasure conveyances, but they will be used for doing tho work of the farm and conveying the prod ucts to tho markets and sbipjnng points. The use of this kind of vehicles will neces3itato the making of better roads. They will prove an inestimable boon to the farmer. Their advent into gen eral use means a new era for him. They will do away with much of the drudgery of farm lifo and add in numerous ways to its pleasure and profit. They will greatly lessen the cost of transporting to market his prod ucts, thus enabling him to realize more for his labor, even at the same prices. The care and expense of keep ing work animals will be a thing of the past. But unless tho peoplo of the conutry bestir theniselvea for bet ter roads the cities will enjoy these luxuries for a generation before they can be made practical in the rural dis tricts. The State's Duty. Woman an Advocate of Good Road. Miss Bella C. Harber is becoming known all over the country by her work in the interest of good roads. She is almost the only woman identi fied with tho movement, and her ef forts have been so successful in pro ducing results that at the convention held at St. Louis iu 1898 Ehe was elected Secretary of the State and In terstate Good Boads aud Public Im provement Association. During the year organized work had been started iu seventy-two counties of Missouri, and sixty-six of these countie3 had entered the work captained by Mis3 Harber. Miss Harber is now traveling through Illinois addressing the far mers aud arranging for good roads conventions throughout the State, to be followed by a State convention to be held in Springfield. The Anti-Rut Agitation. A road that's filled with mud or dust Fills those who try it with disgust. The good roads movement is mov ing and in the right direction. Farmers everywhere are a unit for good roads under a proper system of dividing the expense. Good roads benefit the whole State and the whole State should pay for good roads. This subject should be brought to the front in every Legisla ture. The Freeholders of Mercer County, New Jersey, have adopted a resolu tion requiring the Road Supervisor to employ in the repairs of roads only those who -will use wagons or carts having wheels with tires not less than three and one-half inches wide. The League of American,. Wheelmen has' issued an official declaration in favor of State aid for building good roads. It justly points out that tax able property is concentrating in towns and cities, where distances are short, leaving long stretches of roads in the country districts which the farmers' property cannot afford to im prove. The Board of Freeholders of Tren ton, N. J., are making every effort to encourage the use of broad tires, be lieviug that such use will lessen tho wear and tear of public roads. Here after all specifications for bids for constructing macadamized roads will contain u proviso that the contractor must use wagons or carts having wheels with tires nor less than Uireo and one-half inches wide.

Most people are of opinion that feed ing bottles for babies must be an in vention of modern times. According to Prof. J. N. Mosby, noted English an tiquary, however, this is not the rase. Thi? gentleman, who was lecturing re cently before an antiquarian society, stated that it was the custom among the Greeks for the nurses to carry a sponge full of honey in a snr.all pot to stop the children from crying. The professor went on to say that there are two Greek vases in the British Mu seum, dating from 700 II. C, which closely resemble the feeding bottles used subsequently by the Romans. In the old Roman cemetery of St. Sepul chre, Canterbury, England, a feeding bottle of bright red polished ware was dug up in 1S61. aud Prof. Mosby came to the conclu?ion that this bottle must have been burled with the little Roman child to whese wants it had raisistere.d during lifetime.
