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 ihe grain anu hay iliat will be eaten up 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.— American Cultivator. 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. —.l. L. Irwin, in American Agricultur ist. 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 APPLE STOEAGE HOUSE. heat enough to keep the fruit from freezing in winter. The lumber -used in the construction of this house was as follows: Three thousand five hundred feet wall boarding, 3000 feet roof boardng, 3500 feet ceiling (inside), 7200 feet floor boards (double floors) 4000 feet clap boards, twenty-five bundles lath, and twenty-two and a half squares slate. Outside Finish—Two hundred feet (linear measure) 5-inch crowD mold, 190 feet (linear measure) 3-ineh bed mold, 300 feet (linear measure) % by 10 mold for freize and facia, 200 feet (linear measure) % by 7 base and water tables, 200 feet (linear measure) % by 12 planers Corner boards, four pieces, % by 5, 15 feet; four pieces % by 0, 15 feet.

The la bor of building was performed by the owner at spare times. 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 77 H 7 V = f ~~ lawnwiifli GROSS SECTION Or APPLE HOUSE. 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.
