FARM AND GARDEN. SIMPLE REGULATOR. A Useful Attachment for Homemade Mot-Water Incubators. As many of our readers are using tht (lot-water, homemade incubator, the attachment of a regulator will he favored by some. As the hot-water incubator cools very slowly a regulator can only allow of the escape of the heated air. As the water in the tank affects the heat in the egg chamber more when the animal heat of the chicks is increased, a regulator will not fully serve to prevent changes, but it will make an excellen indicator, as it can be observed from the top of the incnbator. The regulator given is one of the •implest, and can be attached to any hot-vuter incubator, or may even be attached to a lamp if it is to “trip” or shut down the flame. We are indebted to Mr. J. H. Zeigler, Port Carbon, Pa., for the design. It is known that water expands with heat and contracts with cold. The parts in the illustration are, therefore, thus explained, and the principle is seen at a glance. A is the tank and B the egg chamber. Cis a tube (may be made of two fruit cans soldered, or of tin), and D is a float of cork or- any

Besting on E is a tin cap, F, which rises and falls whenever the lever, It, is affected by the float. D, a movable ball, 11, being used to balance the cap, F. At Kis shown a half-inch tin tube, which is used only to allow of the escape of air in pouring water into the tank, or it may be Used as the water tube. Pis a fine wire to which the float is suspended. The dotted lines, TANARUS, show how a small rod may be attached for tripping the flame of a lamp, should such an arrangement be preferred. Everything must be (veil soldered, or leakage will result. M is a stout post of wire or any suitable material. Observe that only the tube, E, enters the egg chamber. The tin cap, F, must be suspended to the lever, It, and not fastened to it, as the cap should move and swing. The tube, C, should go down to within one inch of the bottom of the tank. Fill the tank with boiling water to within half an inch of the top, to allow for expansion. As the water contracts the float goes flown and brings the tin cap over the Jibe, E, closing it, and when the water Ixpauds the float rises and pushes the *ap up. When ready to operate, fill the tank as mentioned and screw a cap, N, on the tube, K, which confines the air and gives pressure on the water, and the float is regulated by this pressure, first balancing with the ball, 11, which enables you to set the incubator to any degree of heat.—Farm and Fireside. AMONG THE POULTRY. Hens that are crowded will not lay. Hkxs will not lay when shivering With cold. Do not chnnge all the old hens for young pullets. Counmeai, and brnn with milk is a good feed for ducks. Use nothing but pure bred males, no matter how your flocks may be made up. Store away some straw where it will keep dry to use for litter during the winter. It often takes several weeks of good feeding to put neglected hens in good condition- for laying. (lef.se have no business on the farm unless they have a pasture, where they cun be kept under control. When fattening turkeys, do not keep them confined more than ten days or they will begin to lose flesh. The only way of dry-picking poultry without tearing the skin is to pick while the flesh is yat warm. In saving eggs for hatching store them in a cool, dry place and turn them half over every day; handle carefully. Sei.i, off the surplus cockrels and late liatdhed pullets before cold weather sets in; it will not pay to winter them. One of the principal advantages in board floors is the ease with which they can be kept clean, besides thev ere usually warmer. Never refuse a fair price for a bird that you really want to sell, but never sell a fine fowl that you can use to a good advantage in breeding. Whenever grain is fed in cold or stormy weather it should nearly always be fed among litter so as to give the hens an opportunity to scratch and exercise.—SL Louis Republic. How to Store Onions. Onions require to lie kept in a cool and dry place, but free from frost Vick tells In his illustrated monthly that there is probably no better way to keep them than the one usually adopted of storing them in the burn. A layer of hay Is spread on the barn floor of sufficient thickness to guard 1 against frost from the cracks below—a layer a foot thick when pressed down would be a safe one. The onions are spread out over the hay and then covered with • thick layer of hay or straw. When the onions are pulled, which should be in a dry time, they should be allowed to lie on the ground two or three days to partially dry off. They can be spread out in any dry, cool place until seven weather makes it necessary to put them late winter quartan far protection.

LAMBS IN WINTER. Thoughtful Experience Only Can Aoeea* plish Good Results. The low prices for wool compel the flock master to pursue the best methods in the handling from the first detail of the industry to the final disposition of the product, whetVer of the fleece or the lambs or the mature wethers for mutton. The highest success depends upon it and thoughtful experience only can accomplish it. An experienced teacher says that lambs, if properly cared for, will grow until they are two years old, provided good care is taken to keep in a good thrifty condition. Lambs, like other stock, are easily stunted by ill-treatment The change from green to dry food must be made gradually. A good plan of doing this is to commence feeding at night regularly as soon as they become sufficiently cool aßd feed a little, gradually increasing as the weather gets cooler and the food in the pasture less. Generally young lambs must be taught to eat hay, and this should be done before grass gets too short in tho pastures, as they will fail to keep as thrifty as they should. Keep them confined during the night, then turn out a few minutes in the morning to sharpen their appetites, and then while ont put a small feed of hay in the racks and put them back into the sheds avain. Two or three days will usually be all that is necessary, and they can be given whatever is necessary tekeep thrifty.

Shelled corn or threshed oats can be fed as grain. It is usually best to give the grain feed in the evening, As with all stock it is best to supply a variety, giving oats, corn, bran or middlings and fodder,,clover hay and straw. It is necessary to give a good variety in order to keep them with a good appetite. Make it a point to water every day regularly. It is usually poor economy to get them into the habit of eating snow, and careful watering every day will readily avoid this. Another item of importance is to have sufficient length of feeding rack and troughs so that all can get what they need to eat at the same time, or some of them will get more than their share, while others will be stinted. Make the troughs narrow and with flat bottoms, as this will in a great measure prevent the larger lambs from bunching the grain, and in this way securing more than their share. Feed liberally as the weather gets cooler, letting the Condition determine the quantity that should be fed. If the quarters are comfortable less food, and especially less grain, will be required. Use plenty of bedding; this will not only add to their comfort, increase the quantity of manure, but aid materially in keeping the wool clean. —Western Rural.

BEES BENEFIT FRUIT. It Is Not Easy to liaise Good Orchards Without Them. The question of bees and fruit trees again commands the attention of horticulturists and apiarists. In some sections where bees are numerous the fruit growers arc troubled at this season while packing fruits, and naturally condemn the bees, without stopping to re Heel upon the advantages to be derived from them in fertilizing the trees and vines from which the fruit is taken. In England a fruit-grower was surprised to find that in one corner of his garden, in which were placed colonies of bees, the trees were heavily laden with fruit, while those more remote had set very sparingly. Then he called to mind the circumstances of its being very dark and foggy during the blooming of the trees, so that the bees flew .’’t <t short distance from their hives. ue proprietor of a cherry orchard in California found that his trees did not bear remunerative crops after the fiat of the raisin-growers banishing tlio bees to a distant canyon. Being convinced of the necessity of bees to fertilize the bloom, he procured some colonies, located them in liis orchard, and then realized satisfactory returns. Horticulturists and apiarists are like the American union—one and inseparable.—lrrigation Age. CHEAP FEED CUTTER. A Contrivance, for Cutting Hay, fctraw and Hoot,. The Vandy feed cutter shown in the engraving has a steel knife made the shape of the old-fasliioned grain sickle but with wider blade. Two pieces of one-fourth by one inch iron are bent in the same shape and bolted to pieces fastened to feed-room wall. The irons should be just far enough apart to allow the knife to pass down between them. The knife is raised, the sheaf placed under and the cut made. The sickle must be kept very sharp to do good work. Care must be taken that

HOMEMADE FEED CUTTER, the fingers arc not caught and wonnded while (dicing the feed. Turnips and sugar beets may be sliced with this contrivance. The chief advantage in cutting hay is that grain' may be mixed with the food. Sliced roots are much easier eaten by cows and sheep than the compact large roots. It is well to moisten chopped hay before feeding.— American Agriculturist. What Good Road* Will Do. Good roads enlarge the demand for country and suburban property, relieve the cities of surplus population, and enhance the value of farming lands.—N. Y. State Hoads Improvement Association.
