PERMANENT LADDER. One Should Ite In Every Darn Reran** It Tukei I'p Little Ilooin and Sever slip*. A permanent laddt-r, such as shown in the cut, has numerous advantages over the movable variety. It takes up no more room in the barn floor and never slips. Moreover, if the "rounds" are strong, the ladder will never break down, all weight coming upon it longi tvdinally. The one shown herewith has a post at the side of the main, or II,! IIS y=-§ I=l Wl w!

I'in the rends en each crcf'.Uly, and the ladder will be practically inde structible. The light side piece should be securely fastened at top and bottom, EO that the whole ladder may be per fectly rigid. The top can be mortised with a crossbeam in most cases—the beam that runs parallel with the barn floor. If the common detached ladders are to be used one precaution should surely be taken —they should have sharp iron points inserted in the lower ends, so that there may be 110 chance whatever in their slipping. This is one of the great dangers of the ordinary ladder, and another is that arising from weak "rounds." An ounce of preven tion is valuable in this case.—N. Y. Tribune. SALTING THE SHEEP. A Method Thnt Ifni Given Gennlne Satisfaction to One M'lio Jinn Tried It for Years. I would like to describe an apparatus for salting cattle and other stock so •they will always have salt before them and no waste, writes Joseph H. Yoder, in the National Stockman. For cattle or horses I woulc prefer to use rock salt placed in boxes or troughs for the winter and scattered about the pas ture on the grass in summer. Rains have little effect upon it and this wiil be found both convenient and econom ical. For sheep, however, this plan does not work so well. The rock salt is so slow to dissolve that they are not able to get a sufficient amount of it to satisfy their wants, hence it is neces sary to use the loose salt for them. Duing the winter a box can be fastened ■up at a convenient place in the shed and at the proper height so they can have access to it at all times of the day. In summer if th(yr have not a shed to run under the box can be fastened to a gate post and have a roof placed over it so as to keep out the rain. If it is de sired to use loose salt for cattle the same arrangements can be used as have already been desoribed for sheep. The roof over the box should be high enough to be entirely out of the way of the animals. Where loose salt is used it is necessary to be careful to keep a supply in The box all the time, as the animals are liable to eat too much if they go without for several days. CHEAP MOTIVE POWER. A Small Gusollne Enelne Will Do More Work, at LeitH Expeuiie, Than Wind or Water. The ingenious farmer can contrive many ways whereby natural forces may be made to serve his purposes. He can so harness water that it will grind feed, shell corn, saw wood and chop feed; he can secure the services of the ■wind for similar purposes, and there are gasoline engines, tread powers and in powers ever ready to do his bidding'. These last three are pow ers which manufacturers have forsale, while the water and wind power may be secured without much cost. It is astonishing how much work car, be gotten out of a little gasoline en gine; it will earn fts price every week on an ordinary farm. Its feed is cheap and its durability and strength are re markable. And another important thing is the engine is cheap. It can be used for a great variety of work re quiring motive power. For running the corn sheller, ensilage cutter, corn husker, wheat fan. grain cleaner, bean huller, etc., it is a great convenience. The price of gasoline engines makes their purchase more practicable than to attempt to secure the services of the wind or of water. Hesides, they are so much more reliable. —Farmer's Voice. _ Grinding Grain for Cattle. Does it pay to grind the grain and cut the hay'.' Opinions differ, as the cost of the labor is sometimes greater than the gain made by cutting the feed, It is claimed that if grain is ground there is a living of one-third, and that 16 pounds of hay when cut up line will be more serviceable than 110 pounds uncut. Cutting the hay permits of mixing with it not only ground grain hut linseed or cottonseed rueals. STORAGE ROOM NEEDED. An Important Item Which I nf«r» tnnntely I * Overlooked by <tulle n Xuiuber of Beekeeper*. It is just as unreasonable to expect bees to store you a crop of surplus honey, without ample storage-room properly equipped, as anything' can be, and to complain at the bees for not doing it is proof sufficient of lack of Intelligence. Yet it is done. You will occasionally meet an old "mos.sback" that will tell you that bees do not do any good in this coun try any more, and that they cannot make a living here, or they cannot make a living there, when the facts are that his remarKs are applicable to himself instead of the bees. Some who should know better may also tell you that this country is be coming overstocked with bees, when we all know that there are tens of thousands of pounds of honey going to waste for every one pound gath ered, for want of bees sufficient to save it. This country is improving faster in nectar-producing blossoms by far than the rate of increase of bees. While it may be true that some locali ties are overstocked with bees, yet, take it as a whole, it would be absurd to think of. The amount of storage capacity properly applied for surplus honey has all to do with the size of the crop, and if we do not apply it we fail. We may have a poor honey flow which we cannot help, but we con get ready for it if it comes, and it seldom fails to pay expenses, to say the least. The best standard hives are all equipped with the necessary storage room lor surplus, and if we bring these i n *o use v? seldom make a mis take in this particular, There is a right time and a wrong time to add surplus boxes, but as a rule they should be applied at the be ginning of the principal honey flow of the season. Colonies must ba strong to at once accept them, and weak colonies should not have thein put on until they become strong. Su pers should also be added to a colony when it is crowded for space in the brood chamber, and thus prevent it from swarming, if possible.—A. 11, Duff, in National Rural. A SIDE-HILL HOUSE. It Seenre* Great Wnrmlh for I'onltryl In Winter ami Keeita 'Uicm Dry in Summer. The cut shows a cross-section of a poultry house built on a side hill, the arrangement being such as to secure great warmth, and no inflowing of water —the usual trouble in building into a bank. I.oose stones behind the retaining wall conduct the water from the hill down into a tile drain below the wall (the wall is cemented), while No«r»» \ .--dS \ - * H /4 y ;/ // Jtgiip# SIDE-HILL HENHOUSE, any other water that may overflow tha tile drain runs along through the loose stones beneath the house, aiul runs into the loose stone wall be neath the front side of the house. A house ten feet long, or a hundred feet, could be built in this way along a hillside. A house of this kind on a southern exposure is excellent for win ter use, being sunny, protected fi*:n the cold north and northwest winds, and having good drainage in front. When built as we have described, the drainage from the rear cannot allect It injuriously.—Farm Journal. NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS. Never pull up tiie cover that the bees have so closely sealed down unless com pelled to do so. In all hives there should be three personages —the queen, the worker bee and the drone. Beekeeping combined with fruit growing enables one to take a double erop from the same land. Any extra work about the apiary should be attended to andi everything potten in readiness btlore the bees be gin to swarm. Worker bees, being undeveloped fe males, may now and then be sufficiently developed to lay eggs, but their eggs will produce only drones. The worker bee does all the work of the hive, gathers in the honey, pollen andi water, secretes the wax, builds the comb, ripens and caps the honey. When returning frames to the hive, adjust them slowly and carefully. Do not slide the frame to its place at one push; slide it up slowly, just to touch the next frame.—Maine Farmer. Ilepkcciilnj; for Fnrnicri. D. N. Ritchie is very emphatic in the belief that every farmer should keep bees, and says a farmer who hasn't one or more colonies is not up to the times, ile thinks not live per cent, of the farm ers have honej- on the table for food, and he probably might have made the percentage much smaller without dis tressing the truth. A notable state ment is this:"l can show you farm ers living by me who had not had acrop of eiover seed, for 20 years, until I moved here and bred my bees to such a size that they can work on the red clover; and now they are getting large yields of ike very best of teed."—Uusy lie*.

FRENCH LOSING GROUND. li«li{{iiaj;i> of the Kepuhllo Not ax I'opulur ou the t-<Ailiiicnt 111 It Once Was. Is French losing ground abroad— that is to say, is it being less spoken and read by educated people on the continent than was formerly the case? This is a question which has from time to time given rise to inter esting discussion, and certain lamen tations lately uttered by a Parisian review have brought it once more rather prominently to the front, says the London Telegraph. There is 110 doubt that, during re cent years it has met with formidable rivals.
