~— j ple and Inexpensive That Every body Can lint e It.. A tight barrel makes an excellent coop for chickens, as it is almost ready for use as it is. Throw a lot cf dry loam into the bottom, when GOOD BARREL COOP, turned on its side, to make a level floor, and nail two strips at the front, as shown. Malt? a front of laths as shown in the cut and place against the strips. A nail at either side will liold it in plac£. During th*- day let the slatted part be at the bottom, to the chicks can run in and out. At night simply turn the front arwund in its place, so that the more solid part may come at the bottom to keep out prowling enemies and to keep the chicks in.—Orange Judd Farmer. PRESERVING EGGS. Formula t'*e<l liv Specula torn and Dealers on a Lnrgre Scale. Numerous methods of preserving «ggs are in use. The idea of all of them is to keep air out of the eggs, as by euch absence of oxygen decay can be arrested for a considerable length of lime, especially if the eggs are perfect ly fresh at the start and are kept in a cool, dark place. The standard meth od most used by speculators and deal ers is to put eggs in lime water. The process is as follows, this recipe having been widely sold at five dollars under pledge of secrecy: Take two gallons of water, 12 pounds of unslaked lime and four pounds of salt, or in that propor tion according to the quantity of eggs to be preserved. Stir several times daily and then let stand until the liquid has settled and is perfectly clear. Draw or carefully dip oft' the clear liqufd, leaving the sediment at the bottom. Take for the above amount of liquid live ounces each of baking soda, cream of tartar, saltpeter and borax uim! an ounce of alum. Pulverize and mix these and dissolve in one gallon of boiling water and add to the mixture about 2U gallons of pure lime water. This will about fill a cider barrel. Put the eggs 5n carefully so as not to crack any of the shells, letting the water always stand an inch above the eggs, which can be done by placing a barrel head a little smaller upon them and weighing it. This amount of liquid will preserve 150 dozen of eggs. It is not necessary to wait to get a fuli barrel or smaller package of eggs, but they can be put in at any time that they can be ob tained fresh. The same liquid should be used only once.—Michigan Trades man. Shipment of Drejmed Fowl*. It is a common saying that the mar ket is never over-stocked with the best, and this is probably correct. Whenever the market is overstocked it begins at the poorest quality to reject. If the market does not reject the low quality, it at once reduces the price to a point below cost of production and market ing. Therefore the only people that stand a chance of making money are those that send to market good prod nets in good shape. In a way markets are always over-stocked, except in times of special scarcity, P.ut the mar ket is never over-stocked with choice fowls. Great lo«s to the producers re sults from the munner in which fowls are dressed and shipped to mar ket. One man says that the quantity of fowls daily dressed and sent to market ir an unsalable condition is enormous. »—Farmers,' Iteview. Poultry liouMe DIm I n flit n (n. It is well to keep the fact in mind that pure air and sunshine are the best of disinfectants. They discount every thing in keeping the nursery coops in condition. Turn these coops over fre quently so when the hens and tlieir broods are out on the range the sun may shine on them all day. If this is regularly attended to and their loca tion changed so as to occupy a fresh epot of ground once a week you can re lieve your mind of any fear of foulness which will be injurious to the chicks. This kind of disinfecting costs nothing in the way of labor, and is one of the cheap things which is thoroughly good, —Farmers' Voice. ~\V1!«I Onion In I'luturcii, The wild onion is the bane of the pastures, but it can be eradicated en tirely if attention is given it. One of the remedies suggested for the wild onion odor in milk is to stable the cows about three o'clock and give bay, allowing their regular food as usual. The odor will jwss off in the secretions in three or four hours. Every tteason, however, the wild onion regularly appears and increases, yet the pests are easily destroyed by pull ing theen up or keeping them cut down. Tliii may be tedious tut •while, but pays well io the end. THE BORSE BUSINESS. Thone W lilt liaise (lie Hlftlit Sort of Animal* Have Never Vet Made a Failure of It. At the round-up institute in Wiscon sin last year. 11. A. Briggs, an extocsiva breeder of thi.t state, gave the fol« lowing good advice in regard to the brood mare: If you are going to raise draft horses see what kind of brood mare you have. Don't try to raise a draft horse from a 1.000 or 1,100-pound trotting mare. Select your largest mares and cross thejn with the breed you like best, a pure-bred draft horse, whether he is imported or American bred, you must get size and quality. If you are going to breed carriage or coach horses, se lect your mares that have size and quality, and cross them with the very best carriage horse you can. lam not going to point out the particular breed you should ha\ e. Among our American trotters we can get as good a pe of coach horse as there is in the world, if we look to size and quality, but there are not enough of them. If American people had paid as much attention to producing good carriage horses as they have to producing speed, and speed alone, we would have the best coach and carriage horses of any nation in the world, and we would have a na tional reputation for producing car riage horses equal to the one we have had for producing little trotters. That has been the one great trouble with the men who have been raising trotting horses, they have lost sight of every thing except the speed and the speed pedigree, and the result in many cases has been that not one in 25 has been fit to put on the market to sell for any kind of legitimate use. Get the idia of trying to raise trotting horses out of your head; if he can't do anything but trot you do not want him. because you would do more harm to yourself and your family in a financial and a moral way than anything you can do on the farm. But if you have a good standard trotting mare, and can cross her with a good French or German coach or standard bred horse you can make money in raising coach or car riage horses. Such horses are sell ing all the way from $l5O to $1,500. They weigh from 1,150 to 1.250 pounds, arid stand from 15% to 16 hands high, with all of the style and nice, easy action that you can get in a horse, not a low shuffling gait, but one that gets his feet up and shows nice kne? action and nice hock action. That will give you an idea of the kind of horse that I think is advisable for the farmer to raise. You may have the very best breeds of either one of these kinds, and if you neglect feed you will have the veriest scrub that ever grew on a Wisconsin farm. A GOOD HOG TROUGH. I*l|r» Cannot CJet Tlieir Feet Into It and Cannot Get In theMny While Slop In I'oured In. I send sketch oj a hog trough I have had in use for some time, and it is a success. Pigs cannot get their feet into it and cannot get in the way when pour- TROUGH FOR HOGS. 1 ing In slop. The height (E, II) is two feet; width of opening at 1., two inches; C, 1), 6 inches; D, E, eight inches. Slop is poured in at A and runs down through the two-inch opening into trough, the rear side of which slopes forward so that the pigs can reach all the slop in bottom of trough.—Ohio Farmer. TIMELY SWINE NOTES. The hogs are mortgage lifters this year. Converting corn into pork this sea son has been a paying business. Do not. let the harvest work or culti vation of the crops interfere with the care of the pigs. The wheat that did not pay to cut can be harvested by the hogs to a de cided advantage. Let the hogs run in the orchard now and they will destroy lots of worms and insects by eating up the dropping fruit. A farmer who cannot find pleasure in handling the swill pail for the pigs is not able to enjoy all the pleasures of the farm. Hogs are filthy animals only when they are compelled to be filthy. They enjoy clean quarters as much as any other animal, and will keep them so if given a chance.—National Stockman. Slicep hn Knrin Fertilizer*. Prof. Roberts, of Cornell university, says the fertilizer produced by a sheep in a year is worth $3.17. While the most of this is left in the pasture, its value to the farmer depends much upon the condition of the grass there. Many pastures are in such condition that they need breaking up and re seeding as much as they do fertilizer, and until something is done to remedy this trouble the vaiue of the manure made by the sheep would to some ex tent be wasted. We know that the sheep improve the pasture by killing many varieties of weeds, and thus give the grass a better chance, but the sheep should not be forced to live en tirely upon weeds and bushes. If they are, it will be a question whether the bushes or the ilock ot fchsep will iw killed first. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1900. SON HAD THE ADVANTAGE. Hie Repntntlon n* itn Athlete Made Him Better Known Tlinn Ills Studious i'ntlier Was. William Scott, of Pittsburgh, who has been brought so prominently before the pub lic recently through being Mr. Carnegie's lawyer in the famous "multi-million-doTlar controversy" between Frick and Carnegie, asked one question too many the other day. Kvcryone interested in legal affairs knows how the two millionaires have always con sulted the same law fit-nj because their in terests were identical, and that when the split came this firm, of which .fudge Reed, president of the Lake Erie railroad, is the head, refused to take sides with either client and that new attorneys had to be chosen. Mr. Carnegie chose Mr. Scott, a brilliant and well known Princeton alumnus of the class of '6! l.says the Philadelphia Post. On June 9. at the opening of Nassau's com mencement, when Princeton took the base ball championship from Yale and young King Scott, Mr. Scott's son, had the honor of being substitute pitcher for Hildebrand, Mr. Scott was among the favored guests. Mr. Scott is fond of getting evidence from people, and when a freshman who idolized King Scott came up to shake hands with the father after the game Mr. Scott asked him what he thought was the best thing ; n col lege life. "Athletics, sir," was the freshman's eager answer. "It's the greatest thing of all. It does a fellow tio end of good." "And why athletics?" insisted Mr. Scott. "Well, sir," was the answer, "it's just this way: I guess you were a good student here, Mr. Scott, and read a heap of books —but nobody has ever heard of you, and the whole world knows about King." Something for All Senson*. In an uptown political club they are tell ing a story at the expense of the wife of one oi the members—a man who had suddenly arisen from poverty to comparative af fluence through a garbage contract. A new house had been purchased in a good neigh borhood, and the wife spent many busy days in furnishing it. When she reached the item of mattresses she went to a big depart ment store on Maiket street and made known her wants to a polite salesman. "I presume, madam," li*« said, "that you waut the best spring mattresses." "Not at all," was the quick retort. "You needn't think because I'm rich I'm easy. A spring mat tress, indeed! Sure, 1 want mattresses you can use in spring, summer, autumn and winter. I'm not buying a mattress for every season in the year. ' —Philadelphia Call. » li' nuiiiii n and ChrlHtiuii. A Chinaman of great dignity and some splendor of dress was getting off an ele vated train at Twenty-third street the other day when a white rowdy called after him: "Say," said the tough, "are you a 'box er?' " The other tough added some abuse arid roared with laughter, after the Chinaman, who got off the ear, then turned. He waited till the gates were closed, then he answered in pretty clear English: "S<v, you Clistian?" Then the gateinan and some passengers laughed, and the toughs slunk into the ear. —N. Y.

The missionary perceived that he must be very adroit if he would induce these Chinese women to give up the practice of foot-bind ing.
