HANDY GRAIN CHUTE. G*alrat Way of Carrying Food Staff from the Illnn Above to the Stable Uelovv. In a great many farm barns the feed ing grain is kept on the upper floor, and all that is fed out is carried down in one way or another. My barn is so arranged and in the basement there is no suitable space for a grain bin. As a way out of the difficulty I putin some grain chutes to run from the bins above as shown in the accompanying cut. In some cases the chute could be allowed to drop directly from the bin above without any joints. Under few circumstances will a chute with i TP U|u,rf I 1 GRAIN CHUTE FOR BARN. less than half pitch be satisfactory. Oafs will run through such a pitch with little difficulty. Wheat or rye will fol low even a less slant, but with bulky stuff like ground feed there is consid erable danger of clogging. The interior of the chute ought not to be much less than six inches square; six by eight would be even better. The interior should be free from all ob structions. The hopper-shaped de vice just tinder the bin is quite neces sary with oats and ground feed togive greater headway. The cut-off, a, is an ordinary draw supported by two cleats on either side. An extension is also made to the rear board of the chute so that it projects about one half inch outward, thus giving chance for holding a bag if necessary.—C. P. Reynolds, in Orange .Tudd Farmer. WASHING THE BUTTER. Some llnlry Authorities Condemn the Operation, Many Other* Are in Favor of It. Some suggestions of Prof. R. R. ; Pearson as to washing butter are un der discussion in different journals. "After drawing off the buttermilk," ! says Prof. Pearson, "we again com* to a point where there is a differenc; not only of opinion, but of practice. Some | pour in more water and after a few i revolutions of the churn draw it off, and repeat the process until the water is perfectly clear, while others claim that the flavor may be washed out, and wash as little as possible. "Some excellent buttermakers that I ; know never wash butter at all. The flavor is an integral part of the butter and can no more be washed out than the sweetness can be washed out of ! sugar. If you do not believe it, feed j the cows a mess of onions and try to ' wash out the flavor." Practical buttermakers favor some j washing, but not too much. Even tho ! illustration of the professor does not ! seem fortunate, or too much dilution of sugar would leave little concentrate ed saccharine. Some taints of butter, it is quite certain, may be washed out, though not that of garlic, which has come from the dief of the cow not from exposure afterwards. Hut even this, we add in passing, may be \\holly nnti doted by feeding the cows with a cer- j tain preparation (medicated food). The question is whether the fine aroma of the butter may not be soaked : out by too much rinsing or washing of j the butter in granulated form. Ex- | jierienced buttermakers who have | learned the art of making buffer of finest quality and which brings the highest price, will say, "don't put yr u , 4 butter to soak." You may weP r',nse it ouicklv for once; that is r ~ mailer. -'Rural World. * Mother How to Cr ~ # .

Change the water in the tank often enough to prevent its becoming foul. Skim, and when enough is obtained for a churning, raise to a tempera ture of GOto 65 degrees, to ripen.

When the farmer produces the best quality of coarse fodders, such as clover, corn fodder, oats, hay and prairie, hay, it. will not be necessary to feed as large an amount of grain ns when poor fodders are used.

JUDGMENT IN PRUNING. The Condition of Simula Thrnmrliri ItfilhtT Than ItnlfM Should Gov ern (lie Operation. The Experimental Station Record thus reports a paper read before the academy of sciences at Paris: The author, F. Kovessi, holds that the ripeness of the wood materially in fluences the production of fruit the following season. This is true not only of vines but of fruit trees. The influence of ripeness is felt in two ways: It modifies the ripeness and the position of the fruit buds and also the number of fruits. With well ripened wood the fruit buds be gin close to the base of the shoot on which they are borne, say the third bud, while on shoots of poorly-ma tured wood the fruit buds commence to form only with the fifth bud. Be sides, the shoots in the first case will i carry two or three branches, while in the second there will be only one. i The production of a fruit crop, there- j fore, is subject to the influence of j I the meteorological conditions of two ! seasons: The year preceding, which j determines the degree of ripeness of 1 the shoots, and thus the position and ; | number of bunches, and that of the ; j same year, which affects florization, frutification, and the maturing of the j ; crop. An examination of the weath- | er record and of vintage production I over long periods of time showed j that dry years, which permit of the j thorough ripening of the wood are ! usually followed by abundant liar ! vests, while wet years, which favor a late, immature growth of wood, are followed by small harvests. These facts are susceptible of prae i tical application, and furnish a ra ! tional basis for the pruning of dif i ferent varieties in different localities. | If the season has been such that the ! vines are well matured pruning | should be short. If the season has been rainy and conducive to the pro duction of poorlv-matured shoots the pruning should be longer than other wise. It is the condition of tjie shoots themselves rather than rule's, 1 which govern in pruning. : TILE PLANT PROTECTOR.

It will also hold the moisture about the roots of the bush to some extent, and will make easier picking of the fruit than when the branches lie near tliq ground—Farm and Home. TRUCK FARMING PAYS. Hut II Mimt Ho Cundnctfd Sy«• iiuitic oily iin«l IN n HUM! N<'AH-U ke 31 a ii n«»r. The over supply of staple rrop^! causes some farmers to turn their At tention to truck farming. \YU> a good market at hand, business should be profitable, although truck crops are perishable, ennnot be held back for favorable prices, as can be '' ° r .j "with staple crops. However, there is a large demand for vegetables land small fruits, and proper cultiva tion and careful marketing will bring paying results, takfiig one year with another. Such products need to be handled promptly, as, for instance, strawberries, which must be put on the market at once. They are too often sent to larger cities for better prices, and prove a disappointment, when a fair profit would have been re alized if they had been sent to the smaller towns. The truck farmer should have a knack of market ing his produce, if pos | sible putting it into the hands of the consumer. A lack of ability in this di rection is the chief cause of failure lin this line of farming. The truck j farmer usually sells his vegetables and small fruits to the grocer, or to com j mission men, when, with a little more j perseverence he could reap the entire ! profits. Prompt attention to the de ! tails of business, and courage to meet small profits, are the conditions essen tial to small farming. To grow fruits and vegetables successfully requires I a considerable outlay of money and I labor, as well as turning to account I every available means. The uninitiat- I ed would hardly believe how much at j tention, fertilizing, and soil turning, I the business requires. Taking the country over, there are comparatively few farmers who pro duce small fruit sand vegetables in suf ficient quantities to supply their own families. It seems strange, indeed, that such necessary articles of food, so easily produced on the farm, are not more abundantly supplied.—Agri- I cu H ,ural Epitomi*t.

Her husband, when liv ing, was first President oft he Nebraska Wesleyan University, at Lincoln, Neb. In a letter written from 401 Sixty seventh street, W., Chicago, 111., Mrs. Flcharty says the following in regard to Peruna: "Having lived a very active life as wife and working partner of a busy minister, my health failed, me a few years ago. I lost my husband about the same time, and gradually 1 seemed to lose health and spirit. My daughter is a confirmed invalid, and we both felt great need of an invigorator. " One of my neighbors advised me to try Peruna. A bottle was Immedi ately secured and a great change took j place in my daughter's as well as In my own health.

Fieharty. What used to be called female dis eases by the medical profession is now called pelvic catarrh. It has been found by experience that catarrhal diseases of the pelvic organs are the cause of most cases of female disease. Dr. Hartman was among the first of America's great physicians to make this discovery. For forty years he has been treating diseases peculiar to women, and long ago he reached the conclusion that a woman, entirely free from catarrhal affection of these or gans would not be subject to female disease. He therefore began using Pe runa for these cases and found it so admirably adapted to their permanent cure that Peruna has now become the most famous remedy for female dis eases ever known. Everywhere the women are using it and praising it. Peruna is not a palliative simply; it cures by removing the cause of female disease. Dr. Hartman has probably cured more women of female ailments than any other living physician. He makes these cures simply by using and rec ommending Peruna. Mrs. I£. t,. Brown. .129 Elliott street.
