In Its logging operations this winter the H. C. Akeley Lumber company is using a new power for hauling logs The Mississippi Valley Lumberman says that F. S. Farr has designed and constructed a log-hauling macuine, which consists of a boiler and engine mounted on an ordinary sled, lire propulsion is by means of four heavy calked wheels, two forward and two back, which run in about the same tracks as horses would. The runners of the sled run In the ice ruts of the logging road, and the calked wheels are so arranged that they rise or fall to accommodate themselves to uneven places in the road. This engine is made to do the work of four teams, as it will haul four loaded sleds of logs. The machine is roughly gotten up this year, but Mr. Farr believes he has the correct idea, and will improve on it for the next season in the woods.— Minneapolis Journal.

What Makes a Soil Good. 1 Soil in order to bo all right needs plant food that is soluble in water or in the juices of plant roots, sufficient j water to act 4is a carrier of plant food from the soil into the plant, air and i warmth. Without any of these the j soil cannot be productive, and it is the i lack of some one of these—mostly plant food—that causes poor crops, i On some soils this plant food is there all right, but the reason the farmer j does not get any benefit from it is be- i cause of the lack of condition that make what plant food there is availa ble for use to the plants. Oatincal For Youiijj Chickens. Laying hens cannot profitably bo i fed with whole oats, because they j have too large a proportion of hull and ! are too chaffy to digest well. But ! oatmeal that has had its hull sifted out of it aud has been mixed with [ pressed curdled milk makes au excel lent feed for young chickens. An i other good way to feed oatmeal is to mix it with water and bake it, breaking' the hard pieced small enough so that j the chicks can swallow them. These j feeds supply all that is needed to make chickens grow thriftily, and j there will be few sickly chickens if [ oatmeal prepared in either way is made a part of their diet. If variety j | is needed feed some whole wheat or \ rye. "Whole groin or meal which has ! been baked uutil it is hard is better j ' than any soft food for fowls at any I age. Keep Sheep Dry. It is in the springtime that sheep j most need proteotion from storms. ! [ Wet is worse than cold for sheep. So ' long as their wool is dry, the cold can not get to the skin, and sheep will not : suffer much if well fed, no matter how low the mercury may fall. But at this season there are mauy rains. The oil which coats wool is some protection against wet reaching the skin. But the evaporation from it gradually chills through to theskiu, oven though water does not penetrate to it just as a wet overcoat if kept on too long will givo a man a cold, even though the cloth ing beneath be dry. One had effect j of keeping sheep iu raius is that when j a cold follows it is accompanied by j | fever, aud this dries up tho supply of j ! oil from the skin, making the wool ! harsh and also less protection against 'j future storms, so when a sheep once oatches cold, it needs a dry shelter more than ever. Growing Ilorso lladiih For florae Uae. i j Use a plot of ground tbreo by five j j feet iu any convenient place that is not too dry, well manured aud deeply j dug before setting tho roots. These j may he placed at intervals of eighteen inches and about twoiuches below the I surface, which should be kept free ' from weeds until the leaves fully shade : tho ground. The roots may bo dug j ( any time after September, the later the ; ; better. They need not be stored dur- 1 I ing the winter. In fact, they will usu ally be better if left in the ground and ! , removed only as needed. They are j not injured by frost and may be taken . ! up with a pickax if the soil is frozen | [ hard. (M. Cr. Kaius, Circular 15, Di- j j vision of Botany, United States De- j ! partment of Agriculture). They will ! generally be found to ' deteriorate as | J the growing season advances, but may ! be used np to and even after the ap pearance of tho leaves. After once j established the only attention they will need will he an occasional dress ing of fertilizer and tho prevention of 1 their spreading to contiguous parts of | the garden. Fattening Stock. I ] i The writer does not believe in con- | fining the diet of fattening animals entirely to corn, except porhaps dur- : ing the last week or two of life. Corn is too carbonaceous to employ alone. ! , By feeding nitrogenous foods in con- j nectiou with corn we are following a ' more reasonable and scientifio method, : and are sure of securing increased ! weight as well as better quality of .meat products. Clover and nlfalfa are the ideal forage crops for sheep, hogs and cattle, and young nnimnls in j general cannot have a better lifo than ' to run upon pastures upon which j these leguminous plants are making thrifty growth; and the mature stock preparing for the shambles should ! ; also get plenty of clover or alfalfa ! (either green or dried into hay) in connection with their rations of . grain. There can be no doubt but that beeves with reasonable feeds of clover j 'will be able to digest more corn and I to do it to bettor purpose than if corn nloue were fed thorn wliilq fattening. Furthermore, I would always use 1 | bran aud linseed or cottonseed meal ! to mix with the co'rnmeal, that is, i whenever prides would admit of such ; a method of procedure. Thot such is j ] i hotter than the feeding of simple corn j I or cornmeal does not admit of any < doubt, sinoe the bran hot only con tains protein; but also possesses such ' '• mechanical lightness as to separate \ tho partioles of the heavier meal and allow the process of digestion to pro j ceod more easily, rapidly aud • j thoroughly. Then the oil meals are , \ not only good for fattening, but give j variety and promote assimilation.— .. M. Sumner . Perk'us, in Farm, Field !

Boars, Bears, Deor and Chamois Have Been Exterminated. i Switzerland will soon be entirely 1 free of wild animals if the rate of ex [ tinction that has prevailed of late is | maintained. In the official archives of j Zurich are records of the various kinds of beasts that once existed in the j land of the Red Cross. Evidences of beaver life have been found on the shores of Lake Morat, the bones and skeletons being fully six centuries old. One of the tributary streams which feed the lake i 3 called Leaver Brook, the title being due to its former in habitants. That the name is old is shown by the fact that no beavors have lived in Switzerland since the twelfth or thirteenth century. Brown bears were plentiful in the mountain lands until the seventeenth century. The last one killed or which there is any official knowledge came to his end In 1693 in Barbereche. Nowadays the bears aro yaised in Berne for various show purposes. Deer were more than plentiful in tht> highlands In oldsn times, but they were cleaned out pret ty well in 1748 to 1750. There is a record in the Swiss archives that a deer was seen in the woods in 1871, but it was apparently far from its own stamping ground. Up to the sev enteenth century wolves were such plagues that several cantons offered substantial premiums for their heads and skins. It took ages to chase them off the plains, and fully 100 years more to clean them out of the highlands. Not a live wolf has been in Switzer land since 1837. The lynx disappeared about the same time. Wild boars were numerous In the fifteenth and six teenth centuries, but none has been encountered since 18S0. A few wild cats are reported to have been shot since 1893, but the authorities doubt the authenticity of the reports. No less than seven prominent kinds of quad rupeds have been exterminated in Switzerland in five centuries, not to mention the world-famouus wild goats or chamois. A few of the beautiful animals are raised and kept by the landlords of some of the leading re- , sorts to maintain the impression that chamois are part and parcel of the Swiss mountains. But they are do mesticated and are vastly different from the timid, lithe animals that no bility used to hunt and poets raved about.—New York Press. Oar Forest Reservations.
