Plain Houses nnd Neils fur Farm Um- Iiiolnourrs nntl Water llnne-Sume Valuable II hits. j Houses lor duck's aro simple affairs, They aro built plulti and comfort,,,11le and have no luin- Ishfnga whatever. A duck is differently constituted fiotn a hen and must bu cured for under different conditions. Iho hen needs warmer houses and drier surroundings thnn does Ihu duck. A duck, docs not mind the cold If sho enn keep Iur feet warm. Cold foot will affect a duck as a frozen comb docs a hen, retarding laying nnd Inductitu* ailments. Tho fcaifu-rs of a duck are almost impenetrably anil will withstand a-ihost auy degree of cold. Again, a duck cannot stand the amount of confinement in a house that a hen can. She is more restless In disposition and is Riven to exorcl'So in a Reenter degree than is a hen. Indigestion Is not So prevalent with ducks as with chickens. In the first cut fs shown a simple house that may be built nt small expense. It Is plain and tins a bliid roof. Sui,h a house should bo built of rough boards, HOUSK FOlt UKKKUING DUCKS. 12 Inches by 1 Iwh, and joints covered by strips, 3 inches by 1 fnch. The roof should bo made water ti^ht and covered with tnrri-d paper, sh n- glcs or tin. Tho outside should be well drained around tho bottom that It muy not bo damp. Some advocate board floors raised six to eight Inches from the ground nnd coveted from four to six inches with -ry earth, straw or leaves. Tho writer favors the tis- tfng ol board floors in all houses for chickens, but thinks it not essential for ducks. If the houso Is well drained on the outside and tho earth floor Is covered with hay, straw or leaves, it will bo pcrfuit- ly satisfactorily. There must not bo dampness in iho houso, ob tho birds will not do so well. While thoy are given water on tho out- 6.tie, they must hive conifer! a! Jc quarters in which to "warm up" or "il.y out." Tho builtlfng shown mny be constructed of any dimensions desired, accordiu.tr, to tho size of fit c'*; to bo kept. A house 11! by 1-1 foot will accommodate nicely a flock of a dozen. There nre no interior arrangements m hut ever, slmi ly tho floor space of the tuiiliJlr.'*;, It is better not to vm nr«tV. Some raisers use a plain nost. as shown In tho second cut. These, nests aro made or one tn*h hoard., twelve Inches high and sixteen inches hrr* set fourteen inhes apart nnd held together In front with a three-inch ttiip. Tho nests aro nailed to the NKSTS FOR MICKS, b..ck of the house. But more thnn half the eggs are laid en tho lit or nf tho houso or fn tho yard, and if permitted a duck wilt build herself a nest to her liking. When two or more breeding pens aro to be kept, tho plun of the houso shown may bo extendi d to any length desired and makes nn excellent breeding house for the farmer to loop ducks ln. An Indosuro should bo given the breeding ducks, as they do better confiiii.d thnn when nt liberty, (live plenty ot room arid Inclose the run with two inch wlro mesh two feet Wide. If water Is accessible, It should be Inclosed by the mesh wire fencing of the samo width as for the run, A duck houso with an arrangement of wire runs ln tho water Is on n'd- mlrabto plan for farmers who hav* running water on their farms, Ih-* Value nt a flourl Kinnpt*. A good example ts just about ns catching as a bad one, and along agricultural lines we think more so. No man ran go to work and Increase tho productiveness of his fluids, raise better crops nnd stock, fix his home grounds, up nnd put Into his homo modern Improvements but his less enterprising neighbors are stimulate:) to follow his example. For Instance, where a man of this progressive type Keeps his side of the highway neatly mown and trimmed free from weeds his neighbor . across tho road Is almost compelled to do likewise or else have his own slovenliness thus continually emphasized. There have lo bo pioneers In tl Is good work of agricultural progress and development, those who lot the pare and pave the way for better conditions. With such examples to pattern after the masses are ready to follow. What One Man ni,..r»#.l. Professor L. H.

Harm-in, New Jenny, Tells All About I Bow He Wae feuoceesful lu ltuu*. I tilng One-llie Plant. The hives uboi! are known as the Lon_j Ideal and were mado to order. They hold 20 Langstroth frames crosswise and are expressly used for extracted honey. The total cost uf the hives, fixtures aud houso was 912ft, not coLtitlng 1h3 bees. The top row of hives rests on a frame just high enough sa 1 can raise, the covers and look Into thorn comfortably, as the interior view shows; tho other row rests on the floor. Tho hives ure only ono story, so there Is no use for queen excluders and no tiei in* up to be done. Th j hive entrances match the corresponding slots in the side of tho bouse and when the bees enter the slot or"entrtin*?e~tliey go directly into their respective hives. Each alternate notice is painted a darker color for the purpose of helping the bees to mark their hive. The bee house was built in March. About tho middle ot April, when the woathcr was favorable to open hives, INTERIOR OF HMTEK APIARY. I took the Long Ideal hives iuto my home npinry and transferred thu bees und comb from the chaff hives into them. It was ouly necessary to take three frames at a time and lift them from on- into tho othor. Toward evening, when the bees stopped flying, 1 closed tho entrances with wire netting, loaded them ou a wagon and drovu to thc bee house uml Ihey wore soon arranged in position. The next day, which was pleasant, tho bees cnino out in great numbers and evidently became somewhat confused as to which were tholr right hives and thrco hives were deserted, the boes having joined some of the others. But 17 built up nicely and in Muy I divided three of the stronger ones and made tho full complement . of 20. In tbo latter part ot May I removed the division board and lilted the hives with frames of comb foundation. I Thcr** wns not a swarm to issue which wns as t had hoped. The bees are always comfortable, being shaded from the hot nun, and they seem to huvo suitlclout room on 20 frames in ono tody. It Is very comfortable for Iho operator too. I took from this h'luse lu September 650 pounds of very nice honey, which brought $01.* The yield in my homo yard was much Mow tho average, so that year cun bo , classed a poor honey year. As there ure enough surplus combs built 1 expect an avorago crop of l.O'iO pounds a year from this house. No further expense Is necessary, only runt and cartage In bringing home the lionoy. I visited the house during summer only onco every week or two.âP. 0, Herman, ln Orange Judd Farmer. GROUND GYPSUM. rract-ical Kiperlenee In Uslnr II ta Advantage In th* sntb'e. Ground gvpsiim, according to one o* o'ir farm Investigators, may undoubtedly be used to advantage In tho stable. Tho nitrogenous com* pound In tho urine by thc aid of certain micro organisms, always present in the air, is converted very t.uickly Into carbonnte ot ammonia. This is volatile r.nd will escape If somo sultablo absorbent or Uxor la not present. Gypsum Is such a fixer, converting ihu carbonate Into sulphate ot ammonia, which Is not volatile Practical conrljislons from experiments aro (1) thit tho proper place to ubo gypsum is In the stable, where iindoubtcd'y Iha greater waste ot nitrogen, as ammonia, frequently occurs, and (2) that when the manure heap is kept compact and moist, there Is not nny considerable escopu of ammonia. Fermentation increased the availability of tho phosphoric add. It is to be noticed that a considerable loss of potash took place. This must bo duo to a certain amount of drainage from the manure soaking Into the board floor. This drainage was no doubt Increased by the water used In keeping tho manure constantly moist. This result corroborates tho conclusion that loss of potash cannot be entirely guarded against without a water tight, concrete floor If the manure Is to be kept moist by rain or artificial means. swine IIMfttM, George, in Farm Journal, says: Thoro Is uo great sucret of success In swine raisingâa good, warm, dry, woll ventilated hoghouso and puro water for all seasons, a good pasture for spring, summer and fall and a variety of Iced tor winter, with thrifty, itrong pigs, and success Is youri, We must keep the fattening pigs worm. If thoy aro kept In a cold pen or aJlowi-d to nn out In cold weather, at least 2ft per cent, more food will be required to produce a given gain. Tho snucallng pig, with staring coat und humped back, who crowds and pushes In tho steamy nest for a warm place, Is surely losing money for his careless owner. It docs not Injure a well n-irtured mature sow to give birth to two litters of pigs each year. Two hundred pounds Is a good market weight, and da Hot have Ihe pigs too fat*' | THE AX HANDLE. Eome Points W-urtliy of nemtimbranee In ! Clioeilnf One. i Whon buying an ax handle always eelect one that is made entirely from tho sap wood or tho heart wood, but never one that Is mnde partly of cai'h, for it will &f*lit along the lino tit union. Handles made from sap wood are more elastic and better for (.hupping Mid a man will not tire or got sore so quickly when using one. I prefer those mado from tho heart wood for splitting, although thoy are not bo durable, soys a writer In Orange Judd Farmer, Tbe proper length and curve ot tho handle depends, upon the habit und method of chopping of tho user. With a long handle a man will strike a mtuh harder blow, but with a short handle he wlll strike of tenor, so there Is practically no difference . in the work accomplished. Tho curves' too, depends upon the habit of the user. A curved handle has no advantage over the ono lhat is perfectly straight. Mcst people prefer the curved, because they are accustomed to its use. An a rule the straight handle is more endurable. The size of the handle depends upon the muscular development of the user. If it is too small It wlll cramp tho fingers, and if too largo it will lame the hands and wrists. If one will exam'nc the end of a piece of wood ho will seo that it Is mado of layers, each layer representing the growth of one year. Wood splits much more easily along these lines than across them, hence when selecting an ax handle, always choose one in which the layers are parallel with the line of force, as shown In Fig. 1. If they are at right angles, as in Fig. 2, a few days' use will cause tho handle to split along the dotted lines shown. The. diflereme in quality in this respect Is so marked thnt many dealers sort tbeir handles I&E3E11IZS AX HANDLES AND AXKS. and make tho price of one about double that of the other. In bunging an ax considerable attention should be paid to tho kind of work which is lo be done. For small wood hang an ax pointing in, as shown in Fig. 3, For very large trees hung it squarely across, or at right angles to the handle, and for split* ting, especially block wood, hang it out according to Fig. 5. This gives one a chance to siriko a heavy blow, squarely across tbo block, using tho wholo bit of the ax, and vlthaut making a tire- so.na bcim of the back with eveiy blow. The relative position of the blade and handle mny be changed by insetting a small wedgo in thu eyo of tho ax, either above or below the handlo as occasion may require. Mannr« for tlie Turnip Cm*., The ingredient the turnip has most difficulty in obtaining is phosphoric acid, and where this crop gets a fair dressing of dunj four hundredweight of 25 per cent, super, hoe- phate per acre Is generally all that Is required. On still, heavy land ona half cwt. nitrate of soda should also be applied with dung to glvo the turnips a start, and another halt cwt. or so when tho plants nre thinned. On all classes of soil where an attack of "fly" is feared, one halt cwt. of nitrate of soda should also, be applied along with the dung to force tho young plants Into tho rough leaf. When turnips are grown without dung, tho following mixture should suit most soils: 4 cwt. 25 per cent, superphosphate, 2 cwt. bene flour or flue bono meal, 8 cwt. kalnit, i cwt. nitrate of soda, J cwt. sulphate ol ammonia, The sulphate of ammonia may be loft out, and an equal quantity of nitrate of soda applied (1) after this turnips are thinned. Menl Rations for Fattening Steers. A light ration of menl was found to give (ho most profitable results in fattm ng steers In a series of experiments extending over several years at tho O.A.l*. Tho steers wero started on about one-third pound of com meal per day per 100 pounds of live weight, and this quantity â¢â¢was Increased as doomed advisablo to slightly over ono-halt pound per day. Tho average daily gain was 1.601 pounds at a cost of 0.58c per pound. Tho steers, which wero fed on a medium ration of two-thirds pound per day per 100 pounds of live weight, made a gain of 1.70 pounds at a cost of 6.09c por pound of guin. Another lot fed at the rate ot one pound of meal per dny por 100 pounds live weight, gained 1.75 pounds dally at a cost of 7.25c por pound of gain. Tho meal was valued at Si3 por ton, tho hay 50 and tho roots $2. Karljr t.orlt lu ihe Kt-ttary. As soon tn spring as tho weather permits the bottom boards of tho hives should bo scraped and cleaned of the cnppinps and filth which havo accumulated during winter, it tha bottom boards nro detachable, and t always prefer to have them so, the Work Is easily performed. After being cleaned stand thorn In tho sun for a few minutes to dry. It wlll make a wonderful difference to the bees, save tbem lots of time and Work nnd perhaps prevent disease. The boes wlll build up much faster lor It.âF. O. Herman. ^ Cider Vln-n-car, Cider vinegar Is so frequently adult tented tint It Is often Impossible to get tho pure prcduct.
