Winter Care of the Stallion.
Feed a moderate amount of grain,
but do not allow tlie animal to get too
fleshy. Give him daily exercise and as
spring approaches gradually increase
the ration of oats. Give a fair allow
ance of bran, cut liay and sheaf o:\is.
During the summer season, give all

clean.
Good Breeding Depends on Care.
In order to be successful in breeding
stock one of the most important re
quirements is care. Without care, and
lots of it, good blood or good feeding
will soon lose nearly all of their value,
and the stock will gradually but sure
ly decline. The value of care is shown
by the breeder who makes it point
to sec that not even one of* his animals
lacks the proper food, or water, or
shelter, or good blood. Such a breed
er is the one whose animals increase
in value with each new generation.
What better proof could be wanted
that the stock pay weil for any care or
attention bestowed upon them?
The Poultry House.
While we wai t a poultry house so
well built that water Avfil not freeze
in it by day or night, we do not be
iieve in having it heated artificially.
If it is kept too warm the fowl will
not endure the cold wiieu it is out of
doors. We have known some to suc
ceed with liens, keeping them confined
10 the house all winter, but it requires
much care to keep the bouse clean, and
we think that an outing every day
when It is not actually freezing, keeps
them in better health, and they lay
quite as well, for we seldom failed to
have about half the flock laying dur
ing the greater part of tlie winter.—

Hogs in tlie Pot.
Loading liogs is usually a disagreea
ble task. This job is greatly simpli
tied where an elevated pen with a
floor on a level with the wagon bed is
available, but there are few farmers
whose feed lots are thus arranged. The
only way to load the porkers is with an
improvised chute, which is always
more or less of a nuisance.
A substantial chute with an inclined
floor—the longer the floor the better, as
the ascent will be less steep—is made
of 4-inch fencing spiked to a frame
of 2x4 inches, with _ ost of 4x4 ineli
stuff. To add to the solidity of the af
fair, the 2x4 and 4x4 should be bolted
together. The floor can be made of
plank or rough lumber of any kind. It
is necessary to nail cleats upon the
floor to prevent the hogs from slipping.
One end of the chute rests on the
ground, while tlie other is on a level
with the wagon bed floor. This chute
A CHUTE FOE LOADING HOGS.
should be made of as light material
as stability will allow, for it is often
convenient to change its location. The
rest of the arrangement is two sec-
Tions of slat fencing, to be used as
wings. On end of each section is
fastened to a side of the chute and un
rolled. When set up the two wings
will make a large V, of which the
point is the chute. The hogs can he
easily driven inside the V; then the
tvro ends of the slatting can be
brought together. Tfce hogs will thus
be confined in a small pen to be loaded.

Home Mixing of Fertilizers.
I have no doubt that there is a good
field for intelligent farmers to make a
good profit in mixing fertilizers at
home, but there are certain things
>hat should be borne in mind. First,
The raw materials which the farmer
purchases are just as liable to be of
poor quality as are the mixed goods
which he buys. Ao farmer can distin
guish the difference betw r een an acid
phosphate containing eight per cent,
and one containing sixteen per cent,
available phosphoric acid. He could
not distinguish betwreen the sample of
genuine muriate of potash and one
which is adulterated with seventy-five
per cent, of common salt. He could
not tell a sample of tankage contain
ing ten per cent, ammonia from one
containing five per cent., and so on
with the other ingredients.
One sample of tankage which we
examined was sold under a claim of
iwenty-fivc per cent, phosphoric acid
and seven per cent, ammonia, which
actually contained seven and a quai’-
ler per cent, phosphoric acid and six
per cent, ammonia. It will therefore
iie seen that while home mixing will
enable the intelligent farmer to mix
materials in such proportions as lie de
sires, he must still depend upon the
safeguards provided by the State, if
he is to obtain materials of good qual
ity. Some of the materials which have
beeu offered for sale for the purpose
<>f home mixing have been offered at
prices very much above the market.
:uu. the producer of them obtained a
very much greater profit on them than
lie would if he made mixed goods and
sold the mixed goods at tlie usual mar
gin of profit.—Professor H. A. Huston,
in Orange Judd Farmer.
Tlie Spring's Ctiieke n*.
I do not approve the old fashioned
way of letting all the poultry run to
gether, as the small and weak ones
do not have a chance to their feed at
feeding time. As they grow older
the young cockerels become a nui: ance
and should be sorted out from the pul
lets. iu bunches of fifty or more. Coops
made of old lumber, covering the roofs,
sides and back with tarred felt, make
good houses. They need uo floor and
if made with light lumber can easily
be moved and cleaned.
Wheat is the best food for growing
pullets. If the range is large and |
good the morning meal can be dis
pensed with after the chicks are three
months old. But give them all they
will eat at night. A chicken to grow
rapidly should be only :'n medium flesh.
Do not let them get too poor or too fat.
Keep the roost clean and sweet and the
chicks free from lice. Build hones
ami muscle first, and tlieu when they
are brought to winter quarters, in Oc
tober, the feeding for eggs will be in
order. A good mash is made of bran,
middlings and ground corn. With this
mix a quart of cut clover or cut clover
hay, and a pint of ground meat. Use
ground bone every other day. Cooked
vegetables can be added to this mash
several times a week. Scald it with
not milk, or water and feed it morn
ing and noon. Feed whole wheat at
night. It should he fed in troughs
which should he washed every day.
Feed only what they a ill eat up clean.
Do not forget the necessary exercise.
To keep them liealthty give proper
exercise and lots of it. Bury millet
seed in litter and let them work for it.
Give fresh, clean water every day, and
keep the drinking vessel in a cool,
shady ulace.—Otto Irwin, iu The
Epitomist.
A Fruit Storage House.
Tlie Vermont Stat’on gives a de
scription, with illustration, of a frame
storage house in which low tempera
ture and ventilation are provided by
throwing open doors and windows dur
ing cool spells in the fall and keeping
them closed at other times. The house
is thirty by fifty feet and has two
stories and basement. The basement
and lust floor are used for storing
fruit and hold 10tM) barrels each. The
second floor is for empty barrels, etc.
The building has double walls and
double windows. An oil stove gives

Such storage buildings as the one
just described, which depends on the
husbanding and utilization of low tem
perature during cold waves In early
spring and fall, would not, of course,
fulfill their purpose during the hot
summer months. They are obviously
best adapted to a cold climate, such as
is found in the Northern States. Here
they can, in the opinion of the New
Hampshire Station, be made more use
ful in our present transitional period
of storage construction than any other.
Their defect Is that they do not main
tain a sufficiently low and even tem
perature, and they would be of little

use in a warm climate. It is, however,
but a step from such a fruit house to
ice storage. Aside from the details of
construction, the only difference is that
the upper story is used for storing ice,
thus cooling the air in the top of the
building, which sinks and in turn cools
the room below.
