The crescent shaped sand dunes

have been investigated by Astronomer
S. I. Bailey, who found the points of
a crescent to be 160 feet apart, while
the “convex side measured 477 feet,
‘and the greatest width was more than
100 feet. The estimated weight was
8.000 tons. vet it was carried 125 feet

What the Hog Will Do.
It bas been that the
a machine; that oils itself, puts ten
bushels of feed into less space than a
bushel measure and in so doing doubles
its value, then can carry it to market
on his back. Corn, bariey, oats, grass,
rape, clover or any of the by-products
of these, loaned to a wellshred, thrifty
hog, is money at big interest. In fact,
it is a mint; the grains and grasses
are the bullion which, put into the
hog, is transmuted into coin. It is
an honest mint and gives 16 ounces of
avoirdupois of cdikle meat, says the
San Antonio Express. Properly bred,
fed and intelligently handled this auto-
matic porker will pay off our debts,
furnish the money to improve the
farm, place a piano in the home, a
carriage at the door, as well as means
to educate our boys at the agricultural
college.

A Mode! Henhouse.
This is what G. Arthur Bell, assist-
ant animal husbandman of the bur-
eau of animal industry at Washington,
has to say of the proper quarters for
the hens:
The best -house for
fowls is 20 by 14 feet; front elevation
6 1-2 feet, back elevaticn 5 1-2, with
double pitch roof of unequal span. The
roof, if it is shingled, should have not
less than one-third pitch. If the rocf-
ing paper is used, ene-guartei pitch
will answer. In the front or south
wall there should be placed two win-
dows about ene foot from the top and
three feet from the ends; 8 by 10 inches
is a good sized pane to use in a twelve
light sash, making the sash about 2
feet © inches high and 2 feet 5 inches
wide.- “A door 21-2 by 6 fee. may: be
made in one of the end walls, and also
a small door in the front wall forthe
fowls to pass in and ont of the baild-
Ing.
The rouvst room should be placed in
the rear of the house, extending the
whole length. The platform should be
about three feet wide und three feet
from the floor and the perches be
placed about eighi or tea inches above
the platform. The nests should be
placed against the erd of the house
opposite the door ar under the roost
platform ard should be darkened. Sev-
eral small boxes for shell, grit, beef
scraps, ete., should be placed against
the walis about sixteen inches from
the floor. If cement or wood floors are
used, a dust bath should be provided
for the fowls.

Salt in Animal Diet.
It has long been well known that salt
is a most important part of the diet of
animals, and that without it they wiil
not thrive. Just how far the necessity
for salt is imperative in the animal
economy is not so generally known.
The Wisconsin State Experiment Sta-
tiontion tested the effect of salt on cat-
tle and other domestic animals. Dry
cows, Dr. Babcotk, of that station,
found, required about three-fourths of
an ounce of salt daily for maintaining
than
the most of
hog is
their best condition, and a cow
milk requires a great deal more salt
than one that is not producing milk,
and it is estimated that such a cow
should have, in addition to the amount
of chlorine in her ration, about one
ounce of salt per day, while a very
heavy milker may need still more.
The function of salt in the animal
economy is noi fully known, but it is
accepted that it aids in facilitating the
albumenocids of
from the
the. food in passing
caral into the blood.
Salt increases the circulation of
the juices: in the ho and stimulates
the an L to: grcater-nctivity. Thus a

one that is dry.

depends to
an
some extent
upon the character of the food con-
sumed. Such foods as potatoes, root
crops and small grains are rich in po-
tassiuni salts, which increase the ‘secre-
tion cf sodium salts (common salt) in
the urine, and hence the necessity of
supplying more salt when foods of that
kind are uséd to a large extent.
Valuable Farm Experiments.
More “Practical Farm Experiments"
are included in a farmers’ bulletin (No
296) now on the press of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.
C. The little pamphlet is full of good
things, complied from the results of
government experiments and the most
alnable of the work of the various
experiment stations throughout the
country. There is no publication of
Uncle Sam's of more general value than
these farm experiment bulletins. The
one in question contains some fifteen
short condensations of practical exper-
iments, many of them covering a series
of vears, and being the results of the
werk. of several separate scientific in-
vestigations. They contain real in-
formation, written in non-technical
language, and can any of them be read
in ten minutes or less.
The first item discussad is “Wells
and Pure Water.” one knows
the value of a pure water supply, both
for the household and stock, and its
relation to the wholesomeness of dairy
and other products sold trom the ‘arm;
but not everybody pays encugh atten-
tion to the location or conztruction of
the well.

ue of good seed over poo:
set forth in some statistics of clover
planting. This is another instance
where everybody concedes that to plant
questionable seeds is poor policy, yet
thousands of acres of good lands are
regularly prepared with care and then
planted with seed whose germinative
qualities ard purity are unknown,
with a resulting poor crop The de-
partment is doing its best to stop the
sales of impure or dead seeds: but the
question rests after all with the indiv-
idual farmer. If every one tested the
seeds he bought, and especially if he
reported cases of adulterated or dead
seeds to the government the sale of
such seeds would he immediately stop-
ped. In one sample of seed examined,
an acre of alfalfa planted from this lot
would have resulted in 167,000 weeds,
includiniz dodder, plaintain, tox tail,
ete. In another sample there were 34
different kinds of weeds. In one case
of clover seed—taking fifreen pounds
to the acre as the standard for sowing
—owing to impurities, it would have
been. necessary to sow seventy-three
pounds, while the weeds would have
smothered the crop. Certainly this
seed as a gift would have been most
expensive.

well to send for this bulletin, as it con-

curing seed from selected healthy
plants. The work of the government
along these lines is very encouraging
to the eradication of the disease.
