In n continuous (long) poultry house each apartment should be boarded up the same as If a separate building. rratrhltiB Shod For l'nnttry. Mflny poultry keepers have decided that to make the hens lay well In cold weather they must provide for them a shed attached to the henhouse where they can have during the day a place to exercise by scratching In Ihe earth after thpy have eaten their food, mid at the same time get the pure air of out of doors, without being exposed to snow, rnin or even cold winds. Tor this purpose thpy build n 'scratching shed" attachment to their poultry houses, ns large, or perhaps larger, than the house In willed they stay nights, nnd in this they feed them and allow them to spend most of their time when the wen titer allows. While we ore not yet satisfied that n sited has ad vantages superior to a house that is en closed upon all sides, and therefore, comfortably warm all day and every day, but which cnu yet be well ventil ated nnd admit ihe sunlight, we pre sent it to our readers ns a very well planned attachment, which can bo built upon the south side of almost any hennery, covering hut n pnrt of the yard, and yet probably a pleasant scratching place for the poultry In win ter. In a shed of this kind they on n have more room, more liberty nnd purer air than In the ordinary hennery, and the only question In our mind Is whether Its cost could not be better expended In building more houses nnd keeping a less number of fowl In euch house. Massachusetts rioughmun. Effect of tlmnmlna The skin of the horse, like I'.iat ot other animals. Is nn active excretory organ. Supplied with almost an Indell nitc number of pores, through these, If kept open, n continual discharge of watery fluid, and such other waste matter as Is carried there by the blood, occurs. It nlt-o contains myriads of minute glands, secreting nn oily fluid that Is essential for rendering tho skin soft nnd flexible, ns well as furnishing nourishment needed by the hair and keeping It soft and glossy. It will not do, therefore, for these pores to get clogged, for In that case the skin would soon become dry, rough, hard and diseased; nor is there much danger of it except when the horse Is hard at work. Then the secretion of watery fluid is heavier than when the animal is idle, and If the sweat is al lowed to dry on tho skin, dust will ac cumulate, mixing with it. and, if not denned off, fill nnd clog the pores. As a result the skin will not only become diseased, but the whole system more or less deranged. The impurities, unable to escape through the skin, will accu mulate In different places nnd give rise to blisters, which. If neglected, may lead to blood poisoning or something else nearly as bad. By regular, thor ough grooming, however, nil this will be prevented, the pores kept open, and a healthier, thriftier condition of the anlmnl maintained, A horse having a thick, tough skin will endure a tolerably sharp curry comb, which, used on another with a thin, tender skin, would be a positive cruelty. Whatever accumulations of dirt may be on the hair after the tito of the curry-comb, a thorough cleaning out of the akin should follow by the ; aid of a good brush. Massachusetts rioughman.

In The Epltomlst. Jf Itmaafl. Home years ago a popular Illustrated magaslne published some highly Imag inative articles describing how every thing would burn np when the farmers, jhrotigh the cultivation of legumes, had drawn all thn nitrogen from the air, F. (1 ft., in Hoard's Dairyman, says: It's going to be many ypnrs before what Is known now will diffuse through the mass of Ignorance that prevails, and consequently It will be a long time before there will be less nitrogen la the air because It has been stored up In the soli for man's benefit, and longer still before we shall have replaced thn stores that nature had accumulated through long eetiturlps." Thn fact la that alt the speculations on this sub ject leave out of view the fnct that no matter how much nitrogen we may rapture from the air we cannot keep It, for It is ever returning thither, and the supply In the air can nevpr grow less. Kvery chimney In the land is sending it back to the air, every neglected tna mire pile Is doing the same thing, and the old rule In nature that everything must be used over and over again will prevent any diminution In the supply. Wo may get nitrogen In various combi nations, but ere long it becomes free gas nnd returns to Its source for somo one to combine and use over again. The combined forms that exist In na ture In the shape of nitrate of sodit mny be used up. nnd the nitrogen that we get nx a by-product In the miiiiii fnetttre of gnu from coal may become totally Inadequate for the purpose of making fertilisers, hut so long as tho legumes are Intelligently cultivated and used in a proper rotation, there will always be nitrogen enough for great crops, nnd the supply In the air will be kept good by Its fleeting nature. We mny locate It In crops, but the con sumption of the crops sends It back to the nlr. and the bncterln work over the offal of all sorts, releasing It as nitrate to bo washed away If not used by plants. And If It Ik washed Into tho sea we cnu get back n largo pnrt of It In Hip refuse from tlsh oil factories, so that the everlasting round will be kept up and there will always be over every acre of land 75.Msl.0Oi pounds of nitro gen for the wise fnrmer to draw upon. It even might be n blessing In disguise If combined nitrogen became unavail able for the making of fertilizers, so thnt all would be compelled to learn how to get It free of cost I'ractlcul Farmer. Forcing Ithtiharb, Usually only crowns from three to five years old are used for forcing. In the present experiment seedlings, ob tained by sowingsceds in April in drills twenty-four Inches apart, were used. The seedlings in a do a remarkably good growth during the summer, many leaves attaining a foot nerons, with stalks fifteen to twenty inches long and an inch thick After tho ground had been frozen nnd thawed out once in the fall, tho roots were plowed out and placed In a dark cellar. They were packed closely to gether, with the crowns up and soil sifted between until tho roots were covered two or three Inches deep. They were then thoroughly soaked with water and thn room made perfectly dark. The stalks pushed rapidly into growth and within four weeks an ex cellent growth of rhubarb was secured. These seedling roots furnished two pulllngs of first-class stalks, two more of fair stalks, and two or three more small pulllngs of rather small and spindly stalks. In all the one crop lasted about four weeks. The exhausted roots were then removed and the new supply grown in liko manner. It is stated that in this work tho temperature should never be allowed to be above sixty degrees Fah renheit, unless quick results are wanted at the expense of quality and quantity. The crop grown In this ex perlmeut sold for from sixty to seventy live cents per dozen bunches, and there were from four to six stalks In each bunch. From (in area of ST0 square feet of cellar spuce, rhuborb to the amount of $33.55 was sold, and it is be lieved that the yield obtained in this experiment can be materially increased when more atteution Is given to the growing of tho seedlings. Special mention Is made of the desir ability ot growing the roots in absolute darkness, since by this method tho strength of the root Is directed Into tho stein of tho rhubarb rather than Into tho production ot foliage. ty planting tho seed on heavily manured loam soil and thinning the plants to a dixtunco of ono foot In the rows, with proper cultivation and mulching. If need be, we believe roots can be grown In a sin gle season which will give twice tho yield received from our experiment. If it can be done with certainty from year to your the question of obtaining crowns for forcing purposes will be solved. V, II. Davis, In Amcrlcun Cul tivator, , . ' .

The Pacific Farmer tells of a lady who surprised her friends during the holidays by serving watermelons, Diuskmelons, plums and grapes as fresh aa when thpy were gathered. Asked to tell the secret, she replied; "It Is the simplest thing In the world; any one can preserve fresh fruits In the same way. The melons I first dip in a wax. After this I coat them with a thick coat of shellac and bury them In a bos of sawdust to keep them from rubbing and from freer.lt.g. The grapes are coated In the wax only, but plums and other fruits are coated with the wax and then Willi the shellac. All are carefully packed in sawdust." AITLES FOB BTOnAGB. Formerly It was supposed the applet ought to sweat beforo they were stored, but Investigations indicate that any ripening which takes place between the picking time nnd the storage house is Injurious to tho keeping qualities of the fruit, '"caches delayed twenty- four hours did not keep ns well aa those stored at once. Bnrtlett pears delayed three or four days were soft In two or three weeks In storage, while the fruit stored at once was In prime commercial condition at the end of five weeks. Tho Investigations em phasize tho necessity of quick storing as soon as the fruit is picked. Fruit stored In the orchard or ou the railroad siding, or In closed freight enrs, In hot weather, Is Injured seriously, nnd no treatment in tho storage house can overcome the damage Inflicted. The Investigations point out also that apples, pears and peaches ripen more slowly it left on tho trees than when removed and stored In thn or chard. The fruit is much better on tho trco than off if It cannot be stored at once. The method of pucklug is also of fundamental importance in influ encing tho behavior of the fruit In tho storago house.

Grapo vines tuny be pruned at any tlmo after tho leaves fail until tho sap begins to rise, as Indlcuted by bleeding when tho vine is cut. It Is perhaps better to prune early and to cut bark close. Keep tho bearing ennes ns near tho bnso of tho vino ns convenient; not right on the ground, as In Kouth em California, but not more than twa feet from it. Keep In mind two things wheu you prune: That tho last year's buds throw out tho finest spurs upon which tho grapes are to grow; that Is, tho wood that grew In 1001 will put out tho fruit spurs for grapes in lllCi, Tho wood of 1001 and 1005 will nit bear a grape. Now In pruning, leave two and sometimes three buds on ns many ot tlieso new canes (canes of 10(H) as you think you will need, ro memberlng thnt each bud will thrsw out a spur with two or three bunches on It; .hetico if you leave three bnds on a csno ycu will have six to nlnn bunches, so if a great number of canes are left tho chances are you will over load your vines. Better clip off a lot of the smaller ennes and occasion ally cut out nn eutlre vine, back ti tho ground, or as near as you can, so s to Induce a new vino for future use. The other thing to bear In mind is, when the fruit bearing vinos aro to be propagated for the next year It will not do to keep on lengthening out tho vine from year to year, as after a while your fruit would be too far removed from the base. S3 it is im portant to keep raising new shoots nnd new vines fram as near tho ground as you can and us tbe new ones come Into bearing cut away the old ones. E. Ii. Beach, in the Epltomlst.

Sometimes milk does not agree with children or adults. The same thing is true of other articles of food. What agrees with one sometimes does not agree with others. But food can be so prepared that it will agree with the weakest stomach. As an illustration anyone, no matter how weak the stomach, can cat, relish and digest a nice hot cup of Postuui coffee with a spoonful or two of Grape- Nuts poured in, and such a combina tion contains nourishment to carry one a number of hours, for almost every particle of it will be digested and taken up by the system aud be made use of. A lady writes' from the land of the Magnolia and the mocking bird way down in Alabama nnd says: "I was led to drink Postum because coffee gave me sour stomach aud made mo nervous.' Again Postum was recom mended by two well known physicians for my children, aud I feel especially grateful for tho benefit derived. "Mill: does not agree with either child, so to the eldest, aged four and one-halt years, I give Postum with plenty of sweet cream. It agrees with her splendidly, regulating her bowels perfectly, although she is of a consti pated habit. "For the youngest, sged two and one half years, I use one-half Postum and one-half skimmed milk. I have not given tiny medicine since the children began using Postum, and they enjoy every drop of It.
