A HOME-MADF BALER. De*crl|ilion of a I>evice That Has Uecii I Ned for Year* find Olvei Entire SatlMfacttou. LAn Oklahoma farmer recently in quired for a homemade baler. The one in the accompanying sketch answera *ery well. I have used it for a number of years and find it gives entire satis faction. The top and bottom frame is inade of any desired dimension, the top (a) being a little larger than the bot tom frame (b). This permits the easy removal of the bale from the box after it has been tied. The sides and ends ere boarded up from the inside, leaving a space an inch or so wide between the boards. At each end a space is left for A rod (c), which is placed above the "follower." On the front side there are notches cut in the board near the top, forming holes (d), through which balls c A: Y I J9 /? (u§ THE BALER COMPLETED. of baling twine can be thrust. Cleats «re nailed to the inside close to the ■bottom of the box and upon these the floor is laid and nailed. A shaft (b) is placed on the extension of the lower frame. There is a windlass in the cen ter and a reel at each end. On the op posite side of the lower frame at each «-nd there is a staple (e), into which is fastened a cord (112) long enough togo over the pulley, which is over the end of the rod (c). This rod runs across the top of the box above the "follower" The cord (112) extends down to the reels at each end of the shaft (b), and is fastened to it. To operate this device, first bring the ends of the twine from four balls ovei the top of the back side of the box, car rying the string down inside of the box, then across the floor and out through the space in the front near the shaft <b). Fill the box with hay or other ma terial to be baled, tramping it down at hard as possible while filling. When full, bring the balls of twine over the top and thrust them through the holes ®t d. Then place the "follower" in the box above the contents and force the rod (c) through the space at the ends of the box. beneath the top of the frame and above the "follower." Put onto the ends of the rods the two pul leys carrying the cords attached to the reel. Now with the long lever used on the windlass, the reels are wound up, bringing down the "follower" until the lay in the box is tightly compressed. Tie the twine and the bale is ready to be removed from the press.—Orange Judd I'armer. PASTURE FOR HOGS. fThey Will Thrive lleKt Where They Have nvi Abunilnnee of Good Graft* and Clover, Every swine grower knows that suc cess in pork production is best pro moted by having an abundance of good pasture. The hogs thrive best and make pork cheapest on grass and clover, for, by nature, the pig feeds on grass as well as grains, notwithstand ing the small size of its stomach. Pigs like blue grass pasture well, and it comes early, but brood sows that are nursing should be turned on it with caution and gradually get accustomed to it, otherwise it will affect the milk, and the swine grower will be wonder ing what is the matter with young pigs. Pine grass is also fine fall pas ture for brood sows, after the clover lias been nipped by the frost. Clover is a tine summer pasture, hard to improve upon and coming in when blue grass has become a little dry and unpalatable, and both the sows and pigs n!mnet upon it until fall. say "aii'uoet" advirsediy, /or pigs feed naturally Ml grass as well as grain, end not on grass exclusively at any season. Clover should be managed so that pigs will always have it young and tender. When it becomes *oody larger stock should eat it down or it should be mowed, so as to allow the new growth to come on. Rape is also being more largely grown for hog pasture, and it makes a very good one. especially in the fall, and early fall sown rye serves an excellent purpose after it has made a good growth. With reasonable fore thought it is no very ditlieult matter to provide good pasture for the hogs the whole season through, and they ■wil] be all the better for it as well as more cheaply grown. No one should ♦ry to raise hogs without plenty of pasture throughout the season, but re member also that it takes grain to make a marketable hog and to keep brood sows up to their work. —West- ern Swineherd. From July 1 to September,, or through the hot weather, the hens are better off if shut entirely out of the hen houses.

NESTS FOR LAYERS. Best Material 1« Dry Earth on th« Ilotlom, «lih Choypril Hay Over the Earth. Many claim that the nests should he on the ground, but all claims that liens should have their nests on the moist ground are but theories, and unsup ported by facts. What is required)for the hen in winter is a snug, warm loca tion, while in summer she should have a cool place. The befct material for a nest is dry earth on the bottom, with chopped, hay over the earth. Then dust, the nest, hens and eggs with Per sian insect powder, put a small quan tity of tobacco refuse in the nest and clean it out thoroughly should an egg become broken or the nest foul. The broken eggs will cause lice quicker than anything else. Jttit iirst see that the hen has no lice, then give her good eggs and she will bring off a brood if she has a warm and comfortable nest. The nest should be made movable, so as to be taken outside for cleaning, and it should never be placed, where any of the fowls can cause it to be filthy or roost upon it. It should never be so high as to compel efforts to reach it. as the largo breeds will prefer to lay on the ground rather than to reach a high nest, even when footway is provided, to say nothing of the fact that, some of thelienslearn to fly over a fence by first learning to reach a high nest. Never have the nest in a barrel or so con structed that the hen must jump down to it, as broken eggs will be the conse quence, but rather so place the en trance as to permit her to walk in upon the eggs. The nest should be placed in a dark position, or so arranged that the interior will Vie somewhat dark, which will be a partial protection against egg eating. For a flock of one dozen hens, four nests w ill be sufficient. —American Gardening. COOP FOR ORCHARDS. Denltfiird Imperially for IMO I ndcr Tree*, W ln»re Voting Chicken* Will Ho llt'Nt. An orchard is an Ideal plaee for the location of young chicks. Not only is the shadie of great advantage to the chickens during the heat of summer, but the trees also receive much benefit from the pre.sn.ee of poultry. A coop is shown herewith that is made especially for use under trees. COOP UNDER THICK. Tts pie-shaped form fits it to be re volved about a tree trunk, giving a succession of new strips of ground for the chickens to scratch in.and an equal fertilizing of the soil all about the tree. The coop and yard are made to gether, the hinged cover giving access to the interior. The hen can be given her liberty in the pen, or be confined to the coop proper by nailing slats to its front.—American Agriculturist. MISTAKE MANY MAKE. Wliy Beekeeper* Should Not Cog. tin lie Their Dentructlve W arfnre Atsuiimt tlie King-Bird. Many beekeepers feel it their duty to destroy any king-bird seen about the apiary, as much as poultry keepers would a haw k or a fox around the crick en yard. Hut if the report of our agri cultural department is correct, this is a mistake. They examined the stom achs of 281 king-birds shot in different parts of the country, and found bees in but 14 of them. In these there were 50 bees, of which 40 were drones, four were workers and six could not be identified..Jx>ing too badly broken. There was then only a possible ten worker bees to 281 birds. On.the con trary, there were ten robber flies which often do much damage among bees. There were beetles such as those whose larvae are the wireworm, the eating grubs and the various cut ivorms, the cut worms themselves, caterpillars, grasshoppers, grain weev ils, leaf hoppers and other insects in jurious to fruit, and grain, with some s*'?ld berries and grapes.—Rural World. I) riii LI til; Fonnlaln for Been. A drinking fountain for bees, which consume large quantities of water when rearing brood, may Vie made of a piece of smooth board or plank, and a | common glass fruit or candy jar.

Fill the jar with water, place the board o\er the jar so that the top is upon the marked | :ircle, and holding the board down close ly on the top of the jar. quickly turn the jar upside down. Put it in a shaded place. The grooves remain full as long as there is any water in the jar.— Midland Farmer. Water Iteiinlreil by Corn. About 2,500 tons of water per acre is the estimate for a crop of corn. Such a weight of water would crush a strong suilding and yet mor than that quan tity falls upon an }#fre in the course of i year. It is not so difficult to obtain :he water as to prevent its loss. It is known that if a tub of water is cov ered less evaporation occurs. If the and is cultivated frequently the loose jirt on the surface prevents evapora tion and the water is retained in.the •oil for the use of the plants.

The russet sparrow sat on the roof and blinked at the setting sun. Afar down the alley a lone ragman drove his chariot slow ly along and chanted his plaintive lay. The wind moaned through the chimney pots, the red sun looked dimly down through the smoke and the russet sparrow sat on the roof and blinked at the setting sun, says London Answers. The russet sparrow sat on the roof and blinked at the setting sun. Sadly the stray policeman in the gray distance swiped an orange from the harrow ot a passing coster and peeled it with a grimy hand. Me was thinking, thinking. And the dead leaves still choked the tin spout above the rainwater barrel iu the back yard. The russet sparrow sat on the roof and blinked at the setting sun. Adown the gut ters in the lonely street ran murky pud dles on their long, long journey toward the distant sea.

STORY OF MANDY HIGGINS* BABY. 44 Have you heard how Mandy Higgins' baby is? " " Oh, she is better,,and just as clean and sweet as any baby ever was." " Well, I'm mighty glad to hear it. It's about time the poor little critter had some rest. I tell you what it is, if Mandy had washed its head with CI'TICURA SOAP first-off, and put on some CUTI CURA Ointment when her baby's head began to get crusted, she'd have saved herself heaps of trouble, and the poor little kid would have been a different being. Think of the days and nights Mandy's walked the floor with that baby. I ain't got no kind of patience with people that has to be told about a thing a hundred times before they begin to believe in the virtue of it. " Now, I told Mandy more'n three weeks ago about CUTICURA SOAP, and she knew just as well as you do, Liz, that we'd used it here going on five years or more, and that none of our family ever had a pimple, or any kind of irritation of the skin since we first begun using it. She was that con trary that i could n't get her to try it on her baby, even though I offered to give her a cake of the soap and some of the ointment from our box. 44 But now she comes here about every day to thank me. Fact is, the youngster's head is as clean as a whistle, and her skin is just as pretty as you ever see on any baby." MOTHERS: Mothers, to know tnat a warm hath with CtTTinmtA SOAP, and a single anointing with CtmcnitA, the great skin cure and purest of emollients, will afford instant relief, permit rest and sleep to both parent and child, and point to a speedy cure, in the most torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, crusted and scaly humors, rashes, and irritations, with loss of hair, and not to use them Is to fail in your duty. Think of the years of suffering entailed by such neglect. Cures made in childhood are speedy, permanent, and economical. Sold throughout the world- Price. FMRCM SOAr, 25c. I OIWTMIKT, 60c.
