FOR FARM flrerrt ffnne for Hens. The feed of sliced bone for ben ii much more tlinn no much grit in the gizzard to ennblo tlieiu to digest their food. It is itself food of the very bent sort to mnk' eggs, furnishing the gela tine for the eggs and lime for the shell. Dried, cooked or burned bones are not nearly so good, ns the gelntiuo bas been expelled from the bone, mid its lime is nlo in less soluble condi tion thnn while it is in the green stnte. Hut n hen's gizzard is equal to the task of grinding up almost anything. A diet of green bone mid whole wheat is probably the best of nil for egg pro duction. Keep Ilni-aes Msns-era Clean, Much dust and soiled food is apt to Accumulate in the , horse's mangor, nud as he is all the time breathing over it. the manger quickly becomes so offensive that much food is wasted. Much of this feed will, however, be eaten by cattle, as they will eat freely after horses. Even the horse excre ment is not so ofl'ensive to them as to prevent them from picking out bits of hay mixed with it. Hut the horse has a more delicate taste than any other farm animal except a sheep. When cows pick over the piles of horse man ure for the hay, they are probably in need of salt, and are attracted by the saline tuste of horse urine. Teg-glltR Kwm, As the time for lambing approaches the coarse, dirty wool about the ewe's bnttocks and udder should be cut away and saved. This should nlways be done before any succulent feed is given to the ewes to make them give milk. Usually this tegging in the olden time was done just before the ewes were turned out to grass. But - if the ewes have silage or roots it is important that the tegging be done early. In many ewes the wool grows over the udder, so that the lamb finds it almost impossible to reach the teat. We have seen mauy a lamb get hold of piece of wool, often only a teg, and suck away until completely dis gusted because it did not find the nu tritions milk it was looking for. Hnnl and Rnft llrlstlca. There are few bristles on the hogs which all good American farmers keep, though sometimes an old boar will have some that will answer if none better can be had. The wild hogs of Russia and (lermany furnish most of the bristles that the world uses. It is doubt Ibks the cold climate of Russia that makes the bristles hard and stiff, for the wild hogs of Hpain.in southern Europe, have bristles that are not much better than those of American hogs. We can well afford to let Russia keep the monopoly it has in growing bristles, for the bog, which has stout, hard bristles is very little good for making pork economically. Home of the southern wild hogs have quite good bristles, and when two or three years old they will not weigh more than a wellfed pig should do at seven or nine months old. Small Fruits and Ornnmvntnl Shrubbery. No town lot should be so small and no farm should be so large that there is not room for some Bmall fruit and at least a shrub or two in the way of ornamentation. In the pioneer days of Illinois it was a rare thing to see a new farm opened up without Ulno bush and at least half a dozen currant bushes planted near the house. Now there are hosts of home buildings in both the older states and in newly settled regions that think it too much bother to fuss with berry plants or berry bashes, and as for a bit of shrubbery just for looks, that is out of the quos tiou. It should not be so. No mat ter how small the homestead let there be berries of some sort, and at lenst a few currants. The farm of forty acres or more should have at least a quarter of an acre devoted to small fruit, in uludiug grapes, blackberries, rasp berries, currants, gooseberries and strawberries. These should nil be planted in rows running the long way of the land devoted to the purpose, so as to do the cultivating ,ns much as may be with horse and cultivator and ' save the labor of hoeing. A southern exposure with rows run ning north and south is a good loca tion. Let the grapes be on one side; if the rows are longer than the space you wish to devote to them fill out the row to blackberries. Coutinue the rows one after another fnr enough apart to allow of horse cultivation, as suggested, till the space ou the side opposite the grapes is only as large as you wish to devote to strawberries, then plant them. If ycur rows are so long that yon have only one row of strawberries, at least every third plant must be a stauiiunte, or your crop will be a failure. If oue feels he cannot put out a full assortment of fruit this year, begin ning at least should be made, and we recommend the setting out of currants, gooseberries and strawberries, aud it will be well, to select the stock now, nsing the catalogue of some reliable nurseryman. or dealer in small fruit plants as a guide, a nearby dealer hav ing the preference, other things being equal. As to shrubbery if you have no preference as to what aud how much ijycal want, consult your wife or daugh ters, or if at the old home where mother is, consult her wishes. If, iu addition to a bit of shrubbery, a plant or two is desii'ed.gdtit. The pleasure aud satisfaction given will more thou repay the money outlay, aud the look of added thrift aud comfort about the place will euhauoe the money value of the farm or towu home much more than the expenditure. These suggestions may come to thu eye of the dweller npoii a lot which contains less than the quarter ncre mentioned ns small enough for the farmer. Iu that case we suggest that a grape vine or two he trained against the lot fence; if not these, n few black berry bushes. Hot one-half dozen currant bushes, two or three goose berry and a dozen raspberry bushes. Vary this selectiou as suits vonr tasto, but put out some. Farm Field aud Fireside. A row llmne, I notice a disposition in Ihe dairy districts toward a change in barn building and an avoidance of the huge half basement structure, w ith its mas sive underpinning and great hay mows. It is proposed to build so as to get sanitation as well ns room. The advent of the silo has made it possible to eliminate the oldtime meadow hay; hence great storage capacity iu the barns is not now imperative. Today the few acres in corn, rapidly put into the silo, is nu economy recognized everywhere, nnd is generally being ndopted. All that is needed now nre a bay barrack for the clover hay and a silo. The cow stable can now take the place of the barn n structure for cows alone. No overhi ad storage for hay aud straw; wide so as to have two rows of cows with ample passage ways, possibly thirty-five feet iu width, the double roof overhead being the ceiling as well. There should be cement floors; no cobbledup plank and timber floors; plenty of windows on the sides to admit sunlight, the stable being built north and south, so ns to get the most snushine possible. There is no need for wide alleys iu which a horse sled may be driven; for a single overhead track, nnd a manure-box suspended, so that when filled it can be run out and overturned upon the sled or manure vehicle to be taken at once to the fields, nre far better than a highway through the stables. These stables should be fully 100 more feet in the clear inside, so as to give each cow HOI) feet or more of nir space. Ventilation is made ample by running two ten-inch shafts of galvan ized iron from within a foot of the floor, up above the roof, nud with a simple little wind wheel on the top of each, with pitcher pump valves iu them nud connocted with the wheel. The floor nir of the stable is then pumped out, and the nice warm nir in the top of the stublo left. The pump ing will bring iu air from the outside) without the necessity of cuttinir cat holes in the sides. At one end of the stable tw o large round silos cnu be built, connecting with tho feed alley, and at tho other end of tho stable a hay barrack can be put up, an old barn utilized or the like, nud the stnblo will be coiii) lete at a total cost of a few hundred dollars, while the greut barn admitted to be most imposing costs its thousands. This long stable can be built of !2x6-inch stuff, and so covered as to make dead air-spaced walls aud will be frost proof. In the summer the glass windows cau be taken out aud fine netting of some sort substituted to make them fly proof. The sanitation of such barns can be made complete, because they nre light and airy, and the sun light covers the entire interior. Tho floors are nlways dry, with no chouce to have pools of filth under them, aud so cau be kept clean. There is no cbauce for the odors, vitiated air, etc., to go up, and, being absorbed by the hay and fodder, be iu turn consumed when this material is used as cow feed. This is too practical an age to build barns just for show wheu less money will give us a far better struc ture and one more in accordance with the 1809 wnnts of the cow and the economical production of milk. New York Tribune. Turkeys Tracked by IK. The wild - turkey in the Oznrks is now hunted with a slow-tracking dog, aud wholo flocks nre often killed in this way. Till the trained dog wns employed to follow up the wary bird this game fowl could battle the most skillful hnuter. Now wheu a flock of turkeys is found the sportsman lias little difficulty. A good dog will fol low a turkey track that is three or four holies old, and set the birds wheu overtaken, just as the pointer does the quail. After the turkey has been chased awhile it hidi s iu a tree or under a log, nnd stays there, until the hunter guided by his dog, comes with in his range. It is astonishing what fine instinct a good turkey dog will develop after a few mouths of training iu the woods. He will follow a flock. of turkeys for hours just ahead of the hunter, and in dicate by uumistnkable signs when the game is near.' After a turkey has re ceived a fatal shot it may fly half n mile or more. A trained deg will go straght to a wounded or dead turkey with the same precision with which he tracks the game. Chicago Record. In the Tap Knot of an OhIc. I remember a curious incident con nected with the tap-root, of au oak, says Rider Haggard iu Longman's Magazine. This oak, a good tree of perhaps 200 years' growth, was beiug felled at Braitenhaiu Wood, wheu the woodman called attention to something peculiar on the tap-root. On clearing this of soil we fouud that the object was a horse shoe of ancient make. Obviously iu the beginning an acorn must have fallleu into the hollow of this cast shoe, nnd as it grew through the slow geuerntiouB, the rout filled up the circle, carrying it down into the earth iu the process of its increase, till at length we found wood aud iron thus strangely wed Jed. That tap-root is now or used to be a paper-weight iu the vestibule at liradenhain Hull.
