Those who prefer tl>e artificial meth od of raising chicks can make a brood er out of au old packing case which will accommodate fifty chicks at a cost of about a dollar. Such a brooder has given excellent results at one of the experiment stations when used in a shed or colony house. Details of con struction of a brooder of this kind are shown in the illustratious. The lower section of the brooder, which contains the lamp for heating, is a box three HOMEMADE BItOODER. ; feet square made of ten Inch boards, which is covered with tin or galvaniz ed iron. Above this cover, around the edges of the lamp box, one inch strips are naiied. Two one inch holes are bored through these strips on each side of the box for the purpose of ventilation. A floor of matched boards is laid on the strips. A hole eight inches In diameter is cut In the center of this floor, and over It is reversed an old tin pan ten inches in diameter, the sides of the pan being punched full of holes to allow free circulation of heat. Over this Is placed a table two feet six Inches square, with legs four and a half inches high. Around the sides of this table is tacked a curtain of felt cut from top to bottom at intervals of five or six inches to *llow the chicks to pass in and out at will, the whole being sur rounded by boards four Inches high SECTION THItOCGH MIDDLE OF BBOODEB. and three feet long nailed together at the corners and resting on the floor of the brooder. When the chicks are ten days old one of these boards may be taken away and a bridge used so that the chicks may run from the hover to the floor of the room. COLD FRAME LETTUCE. Sow NOT* For Sncrennloii and Trans plant In March. Sow lettuce seed now and for suc cession about every two weeks. Excel lent varieties are: Market Gardeners', Private Stock, Immensity aud Trianon Cos. Trianon Cos is usually sown about the >st of April and from that date on till August Is continued with all the varieties at Intervals of seven to ten days. From that time lettuce is In clined to "bolt" or run to seed. These are three good lettuce for all purposes. They stand the summer well and make exceedingly fine beads. Trianon Cos when properly grown la one of the !>est flavored In cultivation, and Immensity Is one of the largest. As soon as they are ready pot off into two inch pots, and as soon as they have tilled these well with roots trans fer to cold frames, which will be about the tlrsl week in March. Provided the frames have been Idle nil winter take off about two Inches of the old soil, and then throw It up well with a fork or spade anil give It a good sprinkling of air slacked lime to sweet pn the soil. If the days are mild take the sash off, putting them on again at night. The ground should be kept constantly stirred to mellow the soil and keep down weeds, giving copious supplies of water when needed, but when heading keep the water from the heart. Tli«* New Flax Indimtry. An Industry new at least to Mlnne- Kota has been Introduced during quite recent years. It relates to the manu facture of flax straw into binding twine. Professor Shaw atlirms In Orange Judd Farmer that one of the flnest features of the new Industry Is that It will tend very much to lessen waste on many farms of the west. No where probably In all the United States has the sin of waste prevailed to such an extent as In the western and north western states. Flax straw was al most a complete waste. The greater the number of acres devoted to the growth of flat the greater was the waste. Iluinpuhlrea nnil the llnron Type. At the last International 1 was much nmused at the discussion In various quarters as to whether the Hampshire k wine are of the bacon or lard type. The Individual who calls Hampshire twine bacon animals has not yet learn cd the A B (' of what the term bacon means, remarks Professor T. W. Shaw In American Agriculturist. The Draft Home. The draft horse Is the horse for the farmer. There Is less risk In raising It, and then you have something when It Is grown - something that will work and do a lot of It and something that will sell, says a farmer. Ou the Alert. Ohio farmers, according to an ex change, are demanding fairness aud will see that all the legislation In Ohio Is not exclusively for two or three large cities. MAN'S BUSINESS FRONT. fCnrinnrk* of Pronprrlly mid Their Influenec in Trade. A man lo succeed must have the aj> pcarnnrc of being highly successful, even If lie has not as jet reached that desirable goal. A uian who carries the earmarks of a lack of money handicaps himself In every trial that lie makes to enlist capital, to secure patronage In trade or lo sell any article. The moment the poorly dressed or slouching, untidy person comes Into n place of business the merchant "sizes It 1111I111 up." For the last six mouths I have taken my lunch at a place much frequented by farmers and their families, and I have been amused and saddened by the way they look and act. They will come In and ask, "l>o you want to buy some pot.'itoes today?" "What do >llll want for theniV" '"1 don't know! What are yon pav ing?" The buyer reels off a string of "stock In Ira do" about "great plenty In the market, foreign potatoes coming In, big crop In Potato hollow," etc., and finally buys tliein at Ills own price. I have seen this and heard this a hundred times In four mouths. Hut let a clean shaven, alert man come In with his ''buslnesH froni" with him, and ho gets Ihe top offer at once. He knows wheth er It Is enough to >. If there IN a little scarcity he gets a raise out of the buy er by fixing his own price.—(' E. Chap man In Country Ocntlenian. HOTBEDS. Tlielr Seuaou la Mow On (General Method* of Conatrnetloa. Tile date 'it which the hotbed may bo started with safety depends almost entirely ou the meat: . at command for heating It and upon the skill of tho A COMMON HOTBED. operator. Hotbeds are sometimes start- | ed as early as January, or tlicy may ' be delayed until in March. There are various methods of con- j Struction. from the excavation or pit. two or more feet in depth, walled up 1 with brick or planks, to the simple Ik>x j set above ground and tilted on one side for the slant to the sash. Where hotbed frames are set ou top of a pile of fermenting manure lh<> ma nure should extend beyond the edges of the frame, otherwise the frame may become too cold about the outside and the plants suffer. It Is generally pref erable to have a pit beneath the frame, in which the manure Is placed. Bally advises to first put In a layer | of an inch or two of any coarse ma-' terial and upon this from twelve to | thirty inches of manure. The earlier j the bed is made the larger should be the amount of manure. Hotbeds in tended to hold for two mouths should have about two feet of manure as a rule. The manure should be put Into the pit in layers four to eight inches thick, each layer being thoroughly trod den down before another Is put In. Manure that has just the right amount of straw In it will give a springy feel to the feet as a person walks over It, but it will not fluff up when the pres sure Is removed. Above the manure may be a thin layer of leaf mold or some porous material that will serve to distribute the heat, and above this are four or five Inches of soft garden loam, In which the plants are to be grown. Hulea For Runnliig Incubator*. Study your Incubator. Acquaint yourself with all Its parts. Read the manufacturer's directions for setting it up. Set It up carefully and according to instructions. Never try to run an Incubator in a drafty place or near a stove or whero the sun shines upon It. Set fertile eggs only. Waste no ef fort upon those that are doubtful. Learn how to trim and clean a lamp. —Dr. Richard Wood. Bulanclnar Stable Manure. Stable manure Is a low grade fer tilizer, having a total of only twenty five pounds of plant food In a ton, di vided as follows: Nitrogen, ten pounds: potash, ten pounds; phosphoric acid, five pounds. Stable manure has an excess of nitrogen; therefore In order that it may act to the best possible ad vantage it should be balanced before It Is applied to the soil by the addition of a proper quantity of potash and phos phoric acid.—Bryan Tyson. GARDEN KEYBOARD It may not be amiss to mention that Hie amateur gardener would achieve I letter results did he not exhaust all his enthusiasm In buying the seeds. To prevent smut In onions start the seeds In ppns and grow them Inside until of a size that the smut cannot penetrate. Get the seed orders In. When the spring comes with a rush the seedsman Is always swamped by an Influx of orders. Asparagus rust goes over winter on the refuse and on the diseased stalks cut or left uncut because unfit for mar keting. Profit by this hint another sea- Bon If you have to fight rust this year. Decide what you will grow. (Set seed early and test before planting. Try to Inspect all the garden tools and hotbed sash and get them ready for the busy time. Cabbage and cauliflower may now t>e started In the greenhouse and trans ferred to cold frames later. Plan for a succession of work rather than foi those crops that will require much attention all at the same time. BEEF MAKING. A HucccNfiful Krfdcr on Handling ( attic In the liaat. Information on the management of cattle fur beef production by 11. Jones of Fayette county, 0., who Is consid ered one of the most successful beef feeders In the east, Is submitted by American Agriculturist as follows: The old method of feeding In Ohio and other places has been to take steers two and one-half to four years old and feed ilieiu to a finish on shock or ear corn alone. Three-fourths or more of the fettling has been done between Oct. 1 and May 1 winter feeding. lix pcrliiicnt stations anil progressive feed ers have time and again called atten tion to the wastefulness of an all com ration, to the advantages of feeding younger and better cattle and of mak ing better provision for the comfort of the cattle, but the majority of the older feeders still go ou In the same old way, Snerraaful I'n-illnK. The leading essentials are: First, good, well drained corn and clover lands, maintained in a high stale of fertility. It Is Impossible to profitably produce beef without the employment of large amounts of grain anil for age, and In these days of high prlcetl labor and low priced beef only the best lauds can be profitably farmed. Lands that will produce corn and clover well will also produce almost any other crop known to the corn belt region north of 38 degrees north latitude. It will pro duce pasture grasses, oats, barley, rye, alfalfa and soy beans; second, proper buildings, feed lots, etc.; third, hogs to follow the cattle, and, fourth, the prop er kind ti* feeding cattle laid In at it fair price. Waatrful HauUtliiif of Corn. Corn Is the greatest of all cattle feeds. It therefore should bo the prin cipal crop. It U not expensive to raise, but as usually managed It. It very ex pensive to handle. A large part of the corn crop In Ohio Is cut and shocked, husked and cribbed. The fodder Is fed cut or burned and the corn either fed or marketed from the crib. See what actual cash outlay for labor alone, not counting teams and tools, is Involved In all this cutting, sl.'jr> to $2 per acre; husking at I to 5 cents per bushel (fifty bushels pcf acre), $2 V) sl!.f>() per acre; cribbing at 1 cept imt bushel, 50 cents per acre; total, $1.75 to $7 per acre, ot, say, an actual cash outlay for labor lu handling the crop fully equaling three times ilie actual cash outlay lu produc ing It. The worst feature of this meth od Is that It results practically In wast ing ■!(» per cent of the corn crop. Almoal II mil y Mnilr.

With nearly all medicines put up fjr sale through druggists, one has to take the maker's sav-so alone as to their cura tive value. Or conrse, such testimony is not that of a disinterested party and accordingly is not to be given the same credit as if written from disinterested motives. I)r. Pierce's medicines, how ever, form a single and therefore striking , exception to this rule. Their claims to the confidence of Invalids does not rest solely upon their makers' say -so or praise. Their ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottlo wrapper. Thus invalid sufferers are taken into Dr. Pierce's full confidence. Scores of leading medical men have written enough to fill volumes ■ In praise of the curative value of the several ingredients entering into theso well-known medicines.
