POULTRY AND TOOLS. A House That Serves Two Purposes Excellently Well.. On many farms the hens are allowed to lay their eggs about the barn, under it, or in a fence corner, and to roost wherevef they can find a foothold, resulting in the frequent loss of eggs, and in the vexatious soiling of wagons, tools, and the premises generally. It is also true that there is frequently no place in which to store farm tools. The plow is run in under the wagon, and the mowing machine occupies an end of the barn floor during that portion of the year when not in use, while other tools find resting places, some within and some out of doors. It hard1y needs argument to show that such a course is both wasteful and inconvenient. Such a condition of things may be remedied by constructing a building like that shown in the illustration—a building that can be readily and cheaply put together by one at all handy with tools. It may be placed on one side of the barnyard, thus affording a desirable windbreak. As shown, it may face either east or south. It could, of course, be made to face the west also. S o == | '-i'-\,“a\\\;x': il ‘!\l “ = A rﬁ?s“i‘\m\ L gT H e Sl POULTRY AND TOOL-HOUSE. That portion farthest from the barn is used for a hen-house, since windows upon two sides’can thus be secured. This portion, if not the whole shed, should be battened snugly upon the outside, and lined with tarred paper on the inside. The floor should be as tight as possible and covered with four or five inches of road dust or dried swamp muck, on which may be placed straw or other litter. The portion devoted to tools should have a dry floor to prevent rust. If this can be ' accomplished by thorough drainage and a thick coating of gravel it will much facilitate the running in of heavy mowers, plows, etec. The doors are also made large for this purpose, while the whole front of the tool shed may be thrown open by taking down the movable post between the two doors. A tight partition separates the poultry house from the tool shed.—American Agriculturist.

To measure corn in crib—multiply the length in inches by the breadth in inches, and that again by the height in inches and divide the product by 2,478— the number of cubic inches in a heaped bushel—and the quotient will be the number of heaped bushels in the crib, that is of corn on the cob. If the crib is flaring at the sides proceed to get the dimensions by the rule for measuring land, given in a previous article. This will give the average height and breadth and length, then proceed to divide as with the square or straight crib.—Farm, Field and Stockman. - CHOICE SHEEP WRINKLES. |American Wool-Grower.] MARK those ewes that have disappointed you; don’t be fooled twice by the same sheep. ; Fowwrs of any kind are a nuisance about the sheep barn, and sheuld be carefully excluded. - ! . AxY breed of sheep is good if they have a shepherd; all breeds are poor if they are neglected. Mix a little sulphur with salt; it enriches the blood and disagrees with ticks and other parasites. , AFPTER weaning lambs, milk the ewes twice a week and keep them on the shortest pasture until dry. - ExAMINE carefully every ewe’s udder before deciding to retain her as a member of your breeding flock. If you find one side spoiled, reject her. Do xor overstock; better keep too few rather than too many. Ifa flock of one hundred sheep ¢ould be made as profitable -as a flock of ten, shepherds would be ‘‘clothed in purple and fine linen.” : - e OLD, broken-mouthed ewes are dear at any price. If they can not be sold to the butcher feed them to the crowsin in the fall—they will get them anyhow ‘before ‘‘the voice of the turtle is heard in the land.” AL sheep are subject to both internal and external parasites. Feed them ocecasionally a little hardwood ashes or finely pulverized tobacco, which will free them from worms and improve their general health. ~_lr you are giving it to them asa warm slop, one pint of grain éach, three times a day, stirred into enough warm water to make it into a thin mush, the lambs will dance and the ewes cry out for joy every time they hear the rattle of your palle. . o ol , Keere a well-trained Scotch terrier in the ' barn; he will clean up the rats and give notice of the approach of prowling curs or thieving tramps.

1- THE DAILY ROUTINE. « e Success in the Poultry Yard Dependent on System. i In the care of fowls no one thing is more important than system, says the Poultry Journal. There should be a daily routine. It must be somebody’s business to attend to the fowls punctually at just about the same time every day—just as much as it is essential to the well-being of a well-ordered family to have the meals at regular hours, the washing done on Monday, the ironing on Tuesday, the baking on Wednesday, the sweeping on Friday, etc. It is just as essential asitis to groom the horses, milk the cows, clean out the stables, feed and water all around, regularly and daily, week in and week out.

In moderate weather fowls may. have their morning feed at sunrise, but in very cold weather it is best to let them stay on the roosts, where they are warm, until the temperature has somewhat moderated. Then the feeding room has been swept out, a small quantity of feed placed in the troughs, and the fowls driven off their roosts if they do not come down of their own free will. In cold weather warm feed may be given—boiled potatoes mashed with Indian meal or any thing of the kind—and the drinking vessels should be washed out and filled with warm water. In moderate weather warm feed and water are not desirable except for fattening fowls.

As soon as the fowls have left the roosts, the attendant should take the perches down, one by one, scrape each of any adhering dirt, and set them outside the house. Then the droppings should be scraped togethir and thrown into a barrel with all the sweepings: The dust bath should be examined, any droppings taken out, and dust added if necessary. This is about ten minutes work altogether. At noon the fowls are fed again. This is usually the best time to give soft feed, meat, condimental food and greens. The eggs are taken up, placed in boxes or drawers, and either the eggs or the boxes marked with the date. Just before sunset in winter, and at about six o’clock at other times, the fowls are fed hard grain whole, the nests are examined for more eggs, the roosts are replaced and the house is made snug for the night. OATS VERSUS BRAN. Results of Experiments Conducted at the Wisconsin Station. : Two feeding experiments for the purpose of ascertaining the value of ground oats and of bran for milch cows, were conducted at the Wisconsin Experiment Station during the last year. Two cows were used on the first experiment and four on the second one. The cows were fed the same quantities, by weight, of oats and bran, eight pounds daily per head on the first experiment and tem pounds on the second, and, in addition, the same fundamental ration of cornmeal, hay and corn silage or fodder corn. The effect of similar weights of oats or bran in a ration for milech cows was thus studied. It was found that the cows invariably did better on oats, going up in milk yield when coming on oats and going down when bran was fed, while the fat content of the milk remained the same on an average. The average figures for the six cows are given in the following table: AVERAGE YIELD OF MILK AND MILK FAT ON . BOTH EXFERIMENTS, ‘

Or in per cent....... 1 9.8 per cent. |10.5 per cent. Thus, as the average for six cows, a gain of about ten per cent. in the milk and milk fat was found, resulting from feeding of oats instead of an equal quantity of bran. ! This result was shown to have been produced from about equal quantities of food materials in the two cases, and the oats therefore seem to have a higher nutritive effect with milch cows, than has: bran. When the financial aspect of the question is considered, it will be seen that at the present market prices for the two feeds, bran $ll per ton and oats twenty-three cents pér bushel, the former is the cheaper feed of the two. The conclusion reached by the two experiments is, that where the difference in 'price between the two feeds is greater than ten per cent. in favor of the bran, it is' not good economy to feed oats to milch cows in preference to bran.—Western Rural. GOOD SAW HORSE. Just the Thing Needed by Farmers in - Timber Countries. One of the best saw horses I have ever seen is made of a log six to eight feet long and eight inches in diameter. Four legs are put into it with an inch-and-a-bmlf auger and six pins set in the top in the same manner.

When a stick has been placed in the rack it must be slid under a small chain which hangs over the main body of the horse and between two of the pins whieh are near together. This chain hangs in a loop low enough to almost touch. the ground. A piece of board four feet long and three to four inches wide completes the arrangement. When the stick has been placed where it is wished to saw it, the foot is put upon the board and the stick to be sawed can never stir, while it can be easily drawn along when one stick has been cut off. The sawyer has the advantage of standing on both feet which is much easier than to bear the weight on one foot with the knee on the wood. —D. M. Havens, in Farm and Home. Glve mixed feed, and always remember that oats should constitute a part of the food of the ‘‘goldenhoof.” If you are feeding a mixture of equal parts of cornmeal, ground oats and wheat bran, and forget to exchange it for something else every thirty days, as the books direct, don’t be alarmed, the sheep won’t be insulted. . 3 2 g it .

HOW FASHIONS ORIGINATE. Somga Instances Culled From the Records of the Past. o It seems that trousers originated in the Gallic nations that finally overthrew the power of Rome. When the Roman Emperor Aurelian led Tetricus, the barbarian, in triumph, the latter was arrayed becomingly in a pair of $3 bracche, Boston not then having been founded, and the word pants consequently unknown. The fashion thus introduced into Rome was a plant of slow growth, the Romans believing that any division in the garment below the waist was a mark of effeminacy. Gradually, however, as luxury became rampant, the trouser leg became more pronounced, and close trousers became the general fashion.

Alexander the Great had a twist in his neck. It was therefore fashionable for every one in that monarch’s court to carry his neck in the same way. The use of powder originated in the fancy of a French mountebank, who dredged his head with flour in order to empnasize his idiocy. - The peruke is' said to be due to the misfortune of Philip, Duke of Burgundy. His hair fell out, and his physicians advised him to cover his head with artificial hair, which he did, and thus set the fashion.

One day Francis 1., of France, was struck on the chin with a piece of tile. Of course, the wounded part could not be shaved. Thus beards came again into fashion, after having been out for nearly a century.

Charles the Seventh of France had a pair of ill-made legs. He wore a long coat to conceal them. Result: Everybody else wore long coats. Few articles of dress were more popnlar at one time than the Spencer, the origin of which is extremely curious. Mr. Spercer, an Englishman rather particular in his dress, one time remarked in a company that no fashion was so ridiculous, but would be adopted if worn by a person of sufficient import‘ance. Thiswas objected to, whereupon Mr. Spencer offered to bet that if he cut off the skirts of his coat and walked out with merely the body and sleeves, some one would follow him. The bet was taken, the coat prepared and Mr. Spencer used it in London, past a wellknown tailor whom he knew was always looking for something new. Thus the Spencer came into use. : At the battle of Steinkirk, which took place on the morning of the 3d of August, 1692, the French nobles were surprised in their sleep, and hastily rushing out of their tents, they arranged their lace cravats in the most careless manner. The French were victorious, and to commemorate their victory, it became the fashion after this to wear the ncck-cloth in a_neglige manner. Hence the origin of the Steinkirk cravat, as it was afterwards called.

During the reign of George 111, his royal highness the Duke of York had a duel with Colonel . Lennox, and the worthy colenel succeeded in shooting away one of the duke’s curls. Hence it became the correct thing to wear a curl on one side of the temple only. o

‘When Fox, the first of Quakers, was sitting in church apd the preacher said any thing which he didn’t like, he moved solemnly, put on his hat and kept it on until the disagreeable remarks concluded. Hence arose the Quaker custom of wearing hats in church. A curious instance of how a fashion was nipped in the bud took place in New York during the early part of this century. A party of you g swells one day rigged up a coach and six and drove around town in style. ‘l'his incited another clique of young men, who, not to b: ou‘done a this sort of th ng, immed ately fitted out ‘a coach and eight and appeared upon the principal streets in great splendor. So amusing was this to the workmen of the town that a party of sixteen carmen. determining to burlesque the whole affair, dressed themselves in clean white frocks and ap-p-ared in the most fashionable parts of the town in a new coach, which was driven by no less than sixteen horses tandem. Each man had his hair pow dered. 'Thirteen acted as postilions, and the extraordinary appearance of this singular vehicle sent a luud guffaw from one end of th: town to the other. So ridiculous did the carmen make this ab surd custom of emulatjon appear that no fu:ther attem t was made on the part of the young swells, who, however, too . the thing in such good part that one of them wrote an ode .called “Carmen Triumphe.”—Clothier and Furnisher.

' THE RATS WON THE DAY. Why a Pond in Maine Was Named After an | Old Settler. ' The question is frequently asked, Whence the name of Thompson pond, a sheet of water in western Maine extending through four townseand lying partly in three counties? Tradition says it was named from the flrst settler, Joe Thompson. During his sojourn here he was seriously troubled by rats. He first provided himself with a stout leather bag ot the capacity of four bushels. -He then - placed an empty hogshead in his log hovel, leaving 'the bunghole open, through which he dropped a small quantity of meat scraps and crumbs of bread. Bag in hand he retired outside to watch proceedings, peeking through a small crevice between the logs. Presently he espied an old gray veteran approaching the bunghole. He takes a peep, then sniffs, looks cautiously about, and then enters. He soon emerges from the hogshead and quickly disappears. In a trice he returns, followed by a drove amounting to hundreds, which, one by one, disappear through the bunghole. ~ “Now,” chuckled Joe, ‘‘is my fun,” as he skipped nimbly through the door and adjusted the open mouth of the bag to the small aperture, at the same time rapping the hogshead with the toe of his boot, which produced a loud ringing sound. With loud squeals and fierce struggles the frightened rats began to scramble through the bunghole, all landing in the bottom of the bag. His first thought was to drown them by sinking the bag in the pond, but being in a rather glamesome mood, as was often the case, he concluded to put the bag in his boat and after rowing to a food distance from the shore then reease them, and with his oxgoad have a good time knocking them in the head. Rowing out several rods from the shore and being in high glee at the thought of wreaiing' vengeance on the ‘“‘varmints” which had gﬁren 80 much trouble, he, without hesitation, untied the bag, expecting to see the frightened creatures at once leap into the water, ‘but he quicklgr found himself mistaken. Instead of eein%or even retreating, the rats charged a bodiy,' and with teeth and claws so severely lacerated his face, neck, and hands as to cause him to leap from the boat and swim for the shore, leaving the craft in the rggg‘segs_ion of his one-time victims.— OhdagoTimes, 0o 0

He was the still small voice, and did much to reprove and reform his country. 18, *Hath not kissed him:" or, kissed to him. ~ LESSON COMMENTS. : The wicked Queen. She was worse than Ahab. When she heard of the affair on Mount Carmel, instead of being impressed with the power of Jehovah and the falsity of her gwn gods, she was fllled with rage, and determined to kill Elijah. She was so sure of being able to accomplish this object, that she even ventured to send Elijah word of her purpose. But he ‘took time by the forelock,”” and escaped to the wilderness south of the Dead Sea. So her plans were frustrated, and she was left alone to nurse her anger. What Jezebel ought to have done was to repent of all her iniquities in dust and ashes, and ask for pardon. But her heart was as hard as the nether millstone, and she never felt any hesitation in he# evil course. There are alwaysa few. people living likea her. Nothing makes them cease their evil. Sickness and pains only make them angry with God. Disaster in temporal affairs only makes them lie and cheat all the more; and if any one dares to reprove them, they. hate him. Such men were tho Pharisees and chief priests in Christ’s time and in those of Paul.- They are given over to do evil.

The discouraged prophet. He ran, and he not only‘ ran, but his heart was sad and discouraged, 80 that he actually asked God te let him die. Why was he so disheartened? Probably because he expected greater results from the display of God’s power on Mount Carmel than were produced; and when he found that one chief result was the-increased anger of the Queen, he felt bitterly disappointed. Even prophets: are only men, subject to like temptations with ourselves. The great spiritual results were not apparent immediately, as hé had hoped they would be, so he lost heart. No wonder. _ It often happens that when we do our best, we become discouraged because the results are not what we had expected. Many a young convert, who excots that all will go smoothly with her after her conversion, finds out that Satan (like Jezebel) will not leave her any peace. In fact, temptations seem to be more numerous after than they were before she gave her heart to the Lord. Every th.ng seems to go wrong for awhile; and then the temptation agsails her to give all up. 'She is thoroughly disheartened. So all along in our individual and our collective Christian experiences, there come times of great conflict and self-denial. They are, perhaps, grandly endured. But after they are over, and we still do not meet with that success that we had hoped for, we are in great danger of being discouraged. It was this danger that led the apostle to write to the Hebrews ‘‘not to be wearied and faint in their minds” (Heb. 12:8), but to look to Jesus, who in this matter set them so good an example. The gentle Lord. He was very gentle with Elijah. First he provided food for him to revive his weary body. And when the prophet was in Mount Horeb, where Moses had been, God comforted him by telling him that he was mistaken in chinking that he had been for years the only true worshiper. God told him that in Israel there had been seven thousand who had never in all those years® bowed the knee to Baal. God also comforted him by giving him more work to do, then sent him on his way rejoicing.—Rev. A. F. Schaufiler, D. D. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. 1. The best of people have their hours of despondency and doubt. 2. Physical weakness and mental exhaustion are of ten the occasion of our dark views of life, of the church, and of the world. : e 8. Bycaring for the bodies of men, we prepare the way for spiritual instruction and help. ; 4. God asks us: What doest thou here? Are you in your right place, and doing vour right work? :

: A Fact. (From an interview, N. Y. World.) In an interview with a leading drug-house the N. Y. World, Nov. 9, 1890, gives the following comment on the proprietors of reliable patent medicines: ‘‘He is a specialist, and should know more of the disease he actually treats than the ordinary physician; for while the latter may come across say fifty cases in a year of the particular disease which this medicine combats, its manufacturer investigates thousands. Don’t you suppose his prescription, which you buy ready made up’ for 50 cents, is likely to do more goog than that of ‘the ordinary physician, who charges you anywhere from & to $lO for ﬁiving it, and leaves you to pay the cost of aving it prepared? “The patent medicine man, too, usually has the good sense to confine himself to ordinary, every-day diseases. Heleaves to the physician cases in which there is immediate danger to life, such as violent fevers. He does this because, in the treatment of such cases, there are other elements of im‘?ortance besides medicine, such as proper dieting, good nursing, a knowled%le of the patient's strength and so on. Where there is no absolute danger to life, where the disease is one which the patient can diagnose for himself or which some physician has already determined, the patent medicine maker sa.:i;s fearlessly: ‘I have a preparation which is better than any other known and which will eure you.' In nine cases out of ten his statement is true.” : This is absolutely true as regards the great remedy for pain, Bt. Jacobs QOil. It can assert without fear of contradiction, that it is a prompt and permanent cure of pain. It can show proofs of cures of chronic cases of 20, 30 and 40 Years’ standing. In truth it rarely ever fails if used a/ccordjng to directions, and a large proportion o cures is made by half the contents of & single bottle.

It calls itself “FRUITS AND Fruir TreEes; Points for Practical Tree Planters.” The title is altogether too modest. To the reader 1t will not give a notion of its real value. It is chuck full of practical information on fruit growing from the highest sources, and just the information pne wants. We haven’t space to tell what itis like. We can only say, scid for the book, for Stark Bros., Louisiana, Mo., will send it free to all.—larmers’ Call. PriMus—*“Does he foot his wife’s billss”?

THE OLD RUT

and old methods are not the easiest by far. Many people travel them because they have not tried the better way. It is a relief from a sort of slavery to break away from old-fashioned methods and adopt the labor-saving and strength-sparing inventions of modern times. Get out of old ruts and into new ways by using a cake of SAPOLIO in your bouse-cleaning. .
