with a lUrrel. Every poultry raiser lias used old barrels ns coops, ltut most of them have employed them merely for nests at night, laying the barrel down on itt bide, putting in handful of htraw, nnd a brick on each hide to keep it from rolling. This plan is good enough when there are no rats or eat, round, or when the fowls are allowed the range of the farm. In fact in the eust it is common practice to fix up tuch a barrel, drive down a htako twenty or more feet from it, and tie a string to the hen, protecting the leg
with a piece of cloth. '1 he fowls soon

barrel is separated into two parts by
nailing down the hoopsonto the staves where the separation is to be made. Then sawing the hoops gives two coops. Care should be taken to make this separation at t point on the barrel where the Iwttom will split lengthwise of the grain. Tho pieces of lath in front may be nailed onto the barrel or driven into the ground. The second illustration shows how to make even a better pair of coops from a single barrel. The staves are marked on the barrel about three inches from each other, that is, the marks on each alternative otavu will run round the

barrel in a hne. The sawing of these will give two ends like the one seen in the illustration. In sawing these bap reis it would be well not to have the alternate openings all around the barrel, as they "would let in too much cold at night.-, besides wind and dust.
When there are but few openings they can be turned to the side to get tlw
sun or away from the sun as desired;
also, to avoid wind. Besides it is easier to siiut up u few openings at night

I have also a cover made of 12-inch pine board to cover the trough in case of ram or snow. These cover I raise and lower by means of small pulleys fastened to pieces of boards, nailed perpendicular to tho bottom of the trough and extending high enough mi that when the cover.- are drawn up they will not interfere with tho hogs when feeding. They alsa prevent the
hogs from jumping over the trough. The barrel is on a truck 15 inehes

the barrel from a 2-Inch faucet with a
slide and through a 3-inch rubber hose

than the trough, will give it enough pressure to run out pretty thick slop, which is the stuff to feed to lay on fat.
The truck runs on a 2x2 wooden track.

It was after this long Venn of a Hive labor as a business man that ho found himself incapacitited fr further service by the embargo which rhc nnatisin had laid upon hira and resigned hU position more than twe years ago, and returned to Bckhcrtown, Mass., where he now lives and owns th Phelp farm, a retired spot where he has five hundred acres of land. Being a man of means ho did not spare the cot and was treated by leading physicians and by baths at celebrated springs without receiving any twneilt worth notice. During tho summer of lstciatid the winter nf lsüi .Mr. Ciou:m was coaliucd to his house
in BcVhertowa, betas unable to rise from his bed without assistance, and suffering continually with acute paius and with no taste or desire for food, nor was he able to obtain sufficient sleep. Karlv in the year 1S3 Mr.Clough heard
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. He b2gan taking thaso pills about the first of March lU and continued to do so until the first part of September following. The first effect noticed was a better appetite and he began to note more ability to help himself oa the bed and to be better generally. Last August (14 ho was able to go alone to his summer residence and farm of ICS acres on Grenadier Island, among the Thousand Islands, in tho river St. Lawrencc, where from the highest land of Iii farm ho commands a view for 13 nviles down tho river, and Ü0 of tho Thousand Islands can bo seen.

From time immemorial black sheep
have existed throughout the world.
and yet history falls to give us any account whatever of any pure-blood
black sheep having been bred and raised in any country. Among the
many pure-bred flocks of white sheep
now iu existence, none are so pure nut
what occasionally a black lamb will make its appearance. And just how far back the little fellow would have to trace his ancestors before he could lay claim to his black coat, no one knows but he is there all tho same. About the vear 1013 or J050 we have
some history of black sheep being bred and raised in the eastern states. They were valued in some localities among the early settlers, inasmuch as their wool required no dyeing when made into cloth. During the years from 1S53 to 1S155 we know, from personal observation, that in central Indiana there were many flocks of black sheep bred and raised. They bred pure black, it being very seldom that a white lamb was seen among the black flocks. Many families, even at that late day, spun and wove their own cloth. The black wool was considered stronger and mora, durable than the white wooL Wo have s-een these flocks of black sheep in nil their purity, and have helped to shear them. In size they were fully up to tho average of the common sheep at that day. They sheared from four to six pounds of wool, which was a very good average at that time. But of late years black wooi has declined in price, since dyeing or coloring the wool has become such an easy process. This, we presume, is the reason for abandoning the blue): sheep. Ohio Farmer.

Hour Wild Türke? rrai:r. A writer in Bee Gleanings thus de
scribes a troop of wild turkey on a marsh iu Missouri: lie said they started out in the morning like a regiment of soldiers, taking the fields and woods and everything that came before them, each turkey marching perhaps twenty feet from its neighbor. They went away every morning, and generally came in an hour before sundown, keeping up the same line of inarch in all their raids. About nn hour before sundown they omcrged from the wood, in a long line, all abreast As they went over tho pasture lot every cricket, grasshopper, buy and worm was pretty sure to be detected by their keen, sharp eyes, and you could see them do their work as they moved forward. Of course, they got into the cornfields some, but it is generally uinnldered that they dc enough good iu their march to atont for the corn they take, for corn is cheap down in Missouri. It is fun for the dog to chase a hen. But the hen does not cuter into the sport with much spirit, and as long at lie docs not, better stop the play.

With the beginning of spring work jorses get out of condition, loe their appetites and become feverish. The feed should be changed at such times and numerous bran mashes be given. The latest sulky for the race track has the driver's seat over the hips of the horse and pneumatic-tired wheels just back of tiic horse's forelegs on

One yields a yellow dye. another an exquisite green which colors the tree on which it grows; and from this wood Is manufactured the celebrated Tunbridge wnre.
