MANGER FOR CATTLE. It S»tm Feed, and Keep* It Glean, and la Easily Constructed from Plan Here Given. Below find description and diagram of best manger for feeding cattle any age or size that I have ever seen or tried. 1 have reference to saving and keeping feed clean. Size should be 4 feet wide, 4 feet high and 12, 14 or 1C feet long. I much prefer the 16foot length; 15 to 18 dehorned cattle (if not too large) can eat at one of this length and waste no feed. To msjce one to stand out in feed lot,

CATTLE MANGER. Use good oak. The following is a bill of staff for manger above size: Two pieces, 4 by 7, 16 feet long, sills. Five pieces, 2 by 5, 16 feet long, for top rails and to cut up into pieces 4 feet long to dovetail bo;tom together, and for end pieces. Seven pieces, 2 by 2, 16 ffeet, to cut up in pieces 4 feet long for rungs to ba placed 16 to 18 inches apart from center to center and fitted at ends to neatly fit in two-inch auger holes bored in sills and corresponding holes in top rails. Four pieces, 1 by It), are boards to nail on outside of frame to form manger. A solid, tight bottom can and should be put in, to feed shock or ear corn. One log 16 feet long, 20 inches in diameter, will make sufficient stuff and one hand can make one in a day. The. sill should be rounded off at lower corner to form sled when wanted to move. Tfce eonstrnction is easily seen from the sketches. Fig. 1 is the bottom and 2 the side. Pass wire through the ;holes in sled runners, to pull by when you want to move the manger.—S. M Phillips, in Ohio Farmer. HOW TO GRADE ROADS. As Iowa Supervisor Oatlines System AY hick He Thinks Is Sure to Work Well.

There are many different methods af road grading and laying of drains, but I will give my way „of doing the work when I, was supervisor: I first took as many miles as I thought I could handle, started in the center of the road and plowed through the entire length I wished to grade. I plowed a strip, say of one rod, on each side of the center, and had . men enough following the plow so as to lay down all sods that might stand on end. When the fplowing was done I used the disc harrow or pulverizer, following it with a lever drag, then let it lay until the following year, when I would take the road grader f and commence where I left "off, plowing and woi*king the loose dirt into the center of the road so as to have the center higher than the outside. I had the grader started deep enough so as to work smooth, not taking more dirt than could be handled in good shape. I repeated this until I had the grade as high as desired. As a rule the sides were about 18 inches lower than the center and by having the grader dig about eight inches of dirt on the sides this is obtained. Most supervisors want to do -more work than they can finish. If my plan is followed smooth roads all the " tim4 will be the result. By grading •the road this way there will be a good drain on either side of the wheel track and one road or track on either side, of the drain.—Cor. Prairie Farmer.

The Weight of Fr;sh Milk. It is generally estimated that a quart of milk weighs two pounds. But this is only approximate. Getting down to a scientific basis we find that it is safe to figure a quart at 2.15 pounds. One so-called authority reduces it to a finer basis than this, and figures a cubic foot of milk at 64y, pounds. A cubic foot will make 7.495 gallons, and, taking this as a basis, we have the weight of one* gallon as 8.6224, and carrying out the division we have the weight of a quart, 2.156 pounds. But miBaggjsach in cream would weigh i f ctian milk containing little crefim, for the reason that the cream iB lighter than the other , elements in the milk.—Farmers’ Review. Turnips and Milk Flavor. When strong flavored foods, likt turnips, are to be fed, it should .be after milking and not before. The controversy over the feeding of turnips has simmered down to this. In the past many men have refused to feed turnips, asserting, that it gave the milk a turnip taste. It has finally come to be recognized that the flavor gets into it ^through the air that is in the stable at milking time, or, at least, if the flavor does go through the cow, it is eliminated before the next milking time comes around, provided the feeding is done after and not before or while milking.-—Farmers’ Review. ■

A Sensible Male. Eor more than ten years a very sensible mule has been working in the*1 mines near Biossburg, Ain. He will pull his usual load of six cars from the bottom to top without a murmufr, but if you put on an extra car he will kick and bray and irefuse to go until relieved. When thei cars are unloaded at the top he.will mount an empty ear and lie down and ride to the bottom of the slope, a distance of half a mile; On one occasion as he was drawing up a ioad a train of empty cars got loose and went down the slope at a break-neck speed, and the men thought the mule would be killed by the collision, but a* the empty cars were about to rush on him he jumped on the first one and rode back to the bottom with the whole train.—N. Y. Tribune. ' *

Cnrdtac Disease from Langhter. Laughter ia itself cannot very well kill, but it may do harm. Hysterical girls and boys with kindred nervous affections are often given to immod* erate laughter, which tehds to in* crease nervous exhaustion. Dr. Feilcbenfeld relates an instructive case in which a little girl suffered from very definite cardiac symptoms after immoderate laughter. The patient was 13 years old and had previously been free from any sign of heart disease. After laughing on *nd off for nearly an hour with some companions, ajbe suddenly felt stabbing pains in the chest and was seized with fits of coughing, followed by cardiac dypnoae, very well marked. Feilchenfeld believes that the cardiac disease directly resulted from immoderate 1 laughter.—Chicago Tribune. Electricity In Hires. What has been called the “pleasant occupation of hiving bees” has been made even more pleasant by an elec*! trie invention which obviates the me-1 cessity of keeping a watch on the| hives at swarming time. The basis of the apparatus is the conversion of the wing motion of the swarm into power. As the bees swarm out they cause two small, easy swinging doors to open outward. A little hammer, which restsupon these doors when closed and; is connected with a battery, drops, rig the doors swing open, upon a snaall uietal leaf, and the electrical connection thus effected rings a bell in the ber grower’s house.—N. Y. Ilerald. Inns In Switzerland. Id proportion to its size Switzerland has .more inns than any country m the world. The- entertainment of tourists lias become the chief industry of the land. No less than 1,700 hostelries. j(jtiontf for the most prt qq mountain tops or near glaciers, are on the list, and the receipts of the hotel keepers amount to $25,000,000 a year, so.it cannot be such a bad business.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Liked Poets. King Ben Bolt (of the Cannibal is lands)—Yes, my dear sir, I was named after a famous song; my wife’s name is Annie Laurie—-call her5iLaurie for jshorts. She will be delighted with you. There was a poet here some time ago whom she liked very much. Poet (who is visiting the islands)— Indeed? Was he a noted verse writer? “Ah, yes’ He was the poet Laurie ate!”—Up to Date.

Both Money tn Turkey. Among the Turks bath money form* an item in every marriage contract, the husband engaging to allow his wife a certain sum for bathing purposes. If it be withheld she has only to go beiore the cadi and turn her slipper upiside down. If the complaint be hot !then redressed it is ground for a di* vorce.—Chicago Chronicle. , Quick Postal Delivery. It is said that letters dropped in tht post office at Paris are delivered in Berlin in one hour and a half, and sometimes within 35 minutes. The distance between the cities is T50 mile< and the letters are sent by means of pneumatic tubes. — New England Magazine._

[carter MEDICINE CO. WINS. Obtains Injunction In Case In volving Simulation of Labels., Brent Good, president of the Carter Medicine Company, yesterday received a telegram from his lawyers in Chi* cago, informing him that a final injunction, with costs, had been granted against the Chicago Label and Box Company. This company makes a specialty of manufacturing labels, boxes, etc., for druggists. The Carter Company has been following them through the courts for two years on the complaint that the label company was | making simulations of the labels of Carter’s Little Liver Pills. They have now obtained a final injunction, with costs, and the costs are very large, as the case has been submitted to a Master in Chancery for a final accounting. The Carter Medicine Company has been the first and oply one to prosecute printers or engravers who have prepared such labels and wrappers. It marks a new departure in infringement cases, and their victory is one of great importance to the whole “proprietary trade,” and also of interest to retail druggists.—N. Y. Press, May 2,1900.
