A Few Worklag Xo1»'s.
For sills eleven strips 1 by 4 or 2 by 4.
Six feet long, or, better still, eight loet
long, are set up parallel about nineteen
Inches apart. Two planks 2 inches
thick, 12 inches wide and 1G feet long
are spiked down to these sills, placing
Ithe plank crosswise of the sills and side
by side near the center of the sills, thus
forming the bottom of a double trough.
Around these planks nail a 1 by 4 strip
to form the edges of the trough, and on
each side of these planks lay down
boards and nail them to the sills, and
we have the bottom of a trough and the
board Hoar at each side of it that the ,

Tlie Maltese Milk Goat.
A company is bciffg formed In Mal
den, Mass., to establish a Maltese goat
milk dairy and sanitarium. It is com
posed of leading physicians, who want
the milk as a remedy for malnutrition
'and pulmonary diseases, together with
business men, who are in It for the
profits. They intend to tost it by pur
chasing goats enough to prove its mer
its. The Maltese goat; like nil others,
is naturally a browser and not a graz
er. He lives on leaves and branches
which die for want of .nourishment and
converts waste aud unproductive lands
into fertile pastures. A gentleman re
ports the increased value of his GOO
acy.cs of land by tlie u.sc of a herd of
Scats as being 10 cents an acre. The
Maltose goat has no offensive odor pe
culiar to the male common goat. The
milk has no peculiar flavor. It resem
bles cow's milk botli In taste aud color.

Bono Sorrel In the Lawn.
"How crm a person kill horse sorrel
from the lawn without killing the
grass?” {Mils an Ohio reader. Try lim
ing it in September. In November or
December give a heavy coat of well
rotted manure. Next, spring rake off
any strawy part of the mulch that may
remain. The .grass will probably grow
rank again and crowd .the sorrel out
If the roots of the grass are dead, it
should be reseeded, raked over and roll
