gizzard to ennblo tlieiu to digest their
food. It is itself food of the very bent

are not nearly so good, ns the gelntiuo

its lime is nlo in less soluble condi

Hut n hen's gizzard is equal to the
task of grinding up almost anything.

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

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.

stolen from the Cumberland Valley

used a bottle filled with kerosene, with
