HOUSE WATER SUPPLY. The Farm Home That la Without It la Owned by a Han Who Doesn't Care for Hla Wife. Jn planning to put a water tank in your kitchen have you considered that during the summer when the stock are in the fields drinking from springs the tank will have less •water flowing into it from the windmill or the hydraulic ram, and that, in consequence, if it is r.ot empty it will contain warm water? And have you considered that when you want cold water under these pircumstances you must turn on the windmill, start the ram, or pnmp the water yourself? If you don’t your wife will! If you haven’t thought of this, then profit by my experience. “Experience is the name a man gives to his mistakes.” The tank in the kitchefi had survived its usefulness, was worn out, and anew

TANK FOR WATER SUPPLY. one had been decided upon. The mis* take was made when the old one was put in; it should never have,been put in the kitchen. “ 1 bought a large galvanized steel tank with a capacity of about 150 gallons, and .set it up outside the kiclien in the woodshed, the bottom being 18 inches above the faucet at the sink. A box was built around it large enough to allow a packing of six inches of sawdust above, below arid at the sides. This material was applied after the pipe connections had all been well tested to see that they did not leak. It was put around the tank to keep the water cool during the summer by preventing access of the warm air to the sides, aikd to prevent freezing in the winer. . The tank is one of the kind used for heating water in connection with ai range, and as it stood when I purchased it it had four openings—two at the top, one at the side and one at the bottom. One of the holes at the top opens into the tank direct, and was to be used for the outflow of warm water. The other is attached to a pipe on the inside of the tank which was to carry the cold water nearly to the bottom. The hole in the side was for the inflow of water as it came heated from ihe fire. At the bottom was to be attached the pipe that led to the firebox where the water was to be heated. ' Hut I didn’t want the water hot, and therefore had no need of this arrangement of the pipes. My ends, 1 thought, would be best gained by turning the tank upside down and plugging the side Opening. This 1 did. The pipe that comes from the hydraulic ram I then attached to the supply pipe (A), so that the fresh water enters the opening that .was originally at the bottom, but is now at the top of the tank. The outflow pipe (B) was then screwed to the cold water pipe which runs inside the tank, and the pipe (C) which runs to the sink wag fastened to the original \ot witter pipt?. Whenever the hydraulic Vatu is working the water flows in and there is a constant supply of fresh, cool water all summer, lly, turning a tap in the supply pipe I can shut off the water from the tank and force the water to the large cistern in the garret when the supply in it from the roof becomes exhausted. The outflow’ pipe empties into the sewer, and, like the tank and the other pipes, is well inclosed in sawdust.—M. <1. Kains, in Farm and Fireside. Why the Hoicn Succumb. Prof. John A. Craig-, of the Iowa experiment station, explains why the hog succumbs so unresistingly when "overheated. The man or horse when overheated soon has his body covered with perspiratioh, and the evaporation ot this at once begins to reduce his temperature. Nature has made no such provision for the relief of the hog when heated by exposure to the sun or by excessive exercise. This is reason enough why it should have an abundant and convenient water supply, shade and a convenient bathing or wallowing place, whether on summer pasturage or confined in a lot, and have plenty of green food that is laxative and cooling.

How Salt Help* Fertility. While the soda and chlorine of salt have no manural properties, there is often a decided effect from using salt •s topdressing for land thet has organic matter. Only very small amounts are used per agre, and thus the salt hastens decomposition, and this sets free whatever carbonic acid gas or ammonia the organic matter contains. Salt is usually thought of as a preservative. It is so v/hen in amounts large enough to pickle what it is applied to. When carbonic acid gas is liberated) that acts as a solvent on the inert potash and phosphate that the soil contains, thus often serving in place oi those minerals at much less cost than If thev were houtrht and applied.

HORSES IN WINTER. Tbtr Should Have Cleaa Quarter*, Sweet Feed aad Suflleleat Regular Exercise. Our horses should be kept so they will not only be in good flesh but in good physical condition so they will be fit for service in the spring without any special preparation. The history of nations has shown that <Jry atmosphere is unfavorable to the spread of contagious diseases, whilst the moist or hot and damp atmosphere is most favorable. The horse Aas ever produced his highest type in a dry elevated region, \\here there was a pure, dry, L acing atmosphere. The animals of gre atest activity dwell in dty and elevated regions, while sluggish animals abound in low, marsh districts. The damp stable favors the development of fungi. Decomposition of litter, dung and urine and waste of feed are ail rich in nitrogenous matter which decays readily and defiles the atmosphere. The dark, damp §table favors all fungous growth, while light and dryness destroy it. The damp stable is also unfavorable to the healthy action of the skin and lungs. Therefore the first requirement is a g6od feed barn or stable which should be located so as to have good drainage. The stable should be warm and comfortable, yet should have ventilation. The foul odors which arise from refuse matter, where there is poor drainage and ventilation, is one of the main

causes of diseases among horses. Even if it does not bring on the disease, the horse will be in a condition to take any contagious disease which may be ■n the neighborhood. In connection with the subject of ventilation, or keeping the atmosphere free from taint, the stable floors play an important part. If the farmer will arrange his stalls and windows so that the floor will receive the sunlight and fresh air while the horses are out, he will add to the neatness of his stable, rid it of foul odor? and prolong the life arid usefulness of his teams. On such floors, where the bedding and filth are removed every day, we do not find disgusting cases of thrush and grease. Where the horse runs at large the sunlight, fresh air, rains and rolling, disinfect the skin and absorb and remove the grease of the system. When confined to the stable and at the service of man, the horse depends for these offices on the faithfulness of his groom. The horse is riot property groomed wheri the filth and sweat have been scraped off so the neighbor or passer-by cannot see it across the field. Still it is better for the horse for-the groom to have this incentive than none at all. Let it be kept in mind that the skin needs to be regularly cleaned for health’s sake. The share which the skin has in throwing off impurities is generally underestimated. The skijv and lungs throw off impurities in the relation of 11 to 7. The blood cannot be kept pure unless the lungs, kidneys and skin are each in condition to remove the waste of the system. The farmer who is nervous and excitable and always in a rush, never has horses in good condition. The horse needs to be free from all excitement when eating. It needs to be at rest and contented. It does not matter so much what is fed so it is sweet feed and fed in sufficient quantity. The horse should have sufficient exercise at all times to keep himina healthy and vigorous condition. If he does not get exercise any other way, he should be turned out in a lot every day.—J. M. Stephenson, in Prairie Farmer. FOR DRESSING FOWLS. Uethod That Permits All the Feathers Belas Saved Without Any Soiling Whatever. The tilting table here shown is jusi big enough to hold a fowl firmly between the side boards, with its head or neck down through the opening, so that

SLOPING TABLE. no blood will get upon the table or the feathers. The latter-can thus be kept clean and sold. Even at a low price, the feathers from large flocks make not a little addition to the profit side of the account, This method permits the feathers being saved without any soiling whatever, consequently the highest price is obtained.—Orange Tudd Farmer. . *' . POULTRY YARD HINTS. It is not necessary to keep cocks on* less the eggs are wanted for hatching. A good way of arranging the perches is to have two sets and change every week or ten days. When the hens are mqlting a few drops of the tincture of iron may be put into the water to a good advantage. Cramp in the limbs is prevalent In flocks that are confined and fed too highly on concentrated food. The fowls walk with difficulty. It is from well matched parents that the most vigorous offspring comes. Select the most vigorous qnd motherly hens for next year’s breeders. If the rooster is faulty do not breed from him even if the pullets are up to the standard. Everything in point oi plumage and symmetry depends on the sire. If filth, dampness and vermin are avoided there will be little trouble in keeping fowls healthy, and with good health assured they can readily be made profitable. r It is the mother which influences the internal qualities. A good layer, if mated in the right wav, will impress this desirable quality upon her progeny. —St. Louis Republic.

HIGH LIGHTS. Man is known by the company he keeps out of. Only inferior people make the mi®' take of assuming superior airs. We never hear the same story twice •like, even when we tell it ourselves. When two women are said to resemble each other both are secretly vexed. Even when man makes his own oj> portunities they are not made to suit him. Grandparents back up a self-willed grandchild because they feel partly to blame. One of the valuable privileges we often overlook is the privilege of not saying anything. After woman has lived to be 70 she , still believes that she never has had “her own way. Work is our only safeguard against people who would like to have us do something for them. One of the queer things in life is that the frocks in old photographs were once considered pretty. A man forgives his sweetheart for trumping his ace, but he always reminds her of it after they are married. ■' ’ When a man brings his wife an unexpected present it makes her fear he ha,s bought himself something extravagant.—Chicago Record. POINTEDLY PERSONAL. The marquis of Brcadalbane is the worst dressed man of title in Great Britain. * Richard le Gallienne dresses almost Invariably in dead black down to the minutest detail. Mrs. D. M. Rice, of Aptos, Cal., is the oldest- daughter of American parents born in that state. She is but 53 years old. , Another German prince is to be supported by England. Prince Louis of Battenberg has received an appointment in the admiralty. The Renshaw brothers and the Allen brothers are crack English tennis players. Each pair of twins is so much alike that few can tell them apart. James Frederick Ilodgetts, who recently filed a petition in bankruptcy in London, was worth $140,000 in 1890, and now has nothing but $350 worth of furniture. He squandered all his fortune in working upon the construction of a non-rolling ship, in the development of which idea he has taken out 23 patents. The patents have passed into the bauds of a syndicate, and the bankrupt believes that they will yet prove profitable, ARMY~AND NAVY~NOTES. Naval officers prefer Chinese and Jan.itiese as servants.

Joke on tike Major. The major, just; returned from Boston, tells in strict confidence thia atory: “I had engaged my berth, and was standing on the rear platform five minutes before the tram pulled out of the Park Square deDot, when a middle aged woman and a handsome girl, both ladies, passed me and entered the car, accompanied by a Cntlemanly-looking chap who carried their ggage. A moment later this fellow pushed up to me and said he was in a most embarrassing position, had his sister and mother aboard, and had lost his mileage book. He would introduce me to them and give me any security for $25. I said I needed neither introduction nor security, but would give him ten dollars—ail I had to spare. He insisted on giving me his diamond scarfpin, and then rushed into the station to see if he could get more cash. As the train pulled out without him, he came running wildly after it, but had to give it up. “Then the porter approached me tentatively. ‘Was that man annoying you?’ he said. I told him no. ‘He insisted on carrying the baggage ©f two ladies inside, sab. an’— *n he get any money out of you?’ “ ‘Of course he didn’t,' said I: but I took the first opportunity of examining that pin. It was worth about five cents/’—Buffalo News.
