FARM WATER SUPPLY. Bon to Run It from the Pump Might Into (he Ilarn by Melius of a Spout. Some pumps need only a little ele vation to make it possible to run the water by a spout right into the barn, where the cattle can drink without being exposed to cold or storms. The cut shows a pump raised and the ele vated platform boxed in, the interior being filled with hay to keep the pump from freezing. This is not a ■ JK PUMPING WATER INTO THE BARN. difficult job. and the results are often worth a great deal during a single winter even. The pump can be low ered again for summer use if desired, setting the elevated platform away for use again the following winter. Few realize what an immense amount of animal heat (and therefore feed and milk) is wasted when cows are turned out to a watering place on a cold day in winter. The animals come in shivering, their backs rounded up with the cold and every hair standing on end. It takes an hour at least be fore they feel comfortable again. Un der such conditions the best results in dairying cannot be secured. Where water can be run into the barn in the way suggested, it will, on stand ing awhile, acquire the temperature of the barn, being then much more suitable for cows to drink, while the latter will also be saved the exposure to cold winds.—N. Y. Tribune. GOOD CROP TO RAISE. The Demand for White Ileaim Is (Irrnl au«l They Are Sure to lirlngGood Price® This Yeur. Those who are in close touch with the market are expecting white beans to command high prices for a number of years to come. Stocks on hand are very much depleted, owing to a great falling oil' in production during recent years and an increased demand. For example, the Michigan crop for IS9G was 3,049,135 bushels, that of 1897 was 1,765,175 bushels, that of 1898 954,004 bushels and the 1899 crop was only 7<»2,- 000 bushels. In California and New York, two states in which large areas of beans are grown, less than one-hall of full crops were obtained last year, while in Canada and Europe the crop is light. With very light yields the world over, the United States and English governments have been buying very heavily for the army and navy. It is thus apparent that the supply Inttst be quite limited, anil several good crops must be secured before there is a nor mal surplus. In view of these facts, it would seem as though beans would be a good crop to plant this coming season if good seed can be secured and one has suit able soil.—Rural World. I)nnK»'r in Wire FVnce*. In an article in the Journal of the Royal Agricultural society on light ning and its 112 ft'eet on trees. Mr. lirodie calls the attention of English farm ers to a point of great practical im portance. In Britain and America the increasing adoption of wire fences has given rise to considerable damage to live stock from lightning. He quotes on this mattter the director of the lowa weather and crop service. "Un questionably, wire fences, as now con structed, serve as death-traps to live stock, causing a vast amount of loss every year. And it is also quite evi dent that a considerable percentage of danger may be avoided by the use of ground wires at frequent intervals in the construction of wire fences." Quality of Seed Coin. The yield of corn is dependent in no small degree on the quality of the seed, which should be selected before the corn is cut, having regard to the size and character of the stalk a.s well as to the ripeness and type of the ear. When the season is especially favorable for thoroughly maturing the ears, enough seed to last at least two years should be gathered, completely dried out be fore frosi and stored iu a warm, dry place. A difference of two per cent, in the yield of dry matter on two adjacent acres was noted in favor of the crop grown from well-ripened seed over the yield from seed grown in a wet, cold season.—Clinton D. Smith, in Farmers' Review. Apple and potato parings are great ly relished, and help in getting a horse in fine condition. When you begin to feed also begin to exercise.
