RAISING CHICKS.
Flow to Make a Brooder Ont of an
Old Paekinif C'a»e.
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.

For the last six mouths I have taken

have been amused and saddened by the

In and ask, "l>o you want to buy some

"What do >llll want for theniV"
'"1 don't know! What are yon pav

The buyer reels off a string of "stock

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

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.

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.

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.

Whose Say-so is Best?
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.
