A Structure Within the Mechanical Possibilities of Any Farmers One of the heaviest items of expense on the modern farm is the cost of ma- chinery, and, strange as it may seem, this is frequently the most neglected. In many parts of the country, especial- ly on the poorer farms, one will see all kinds of farm implements exposed to the weather. A writer declares that the farmer now pays the little sum of $120,000,000 per year for farm ma- chinery, or about 70 cents per acre. Of this vast sum it has been estimated at least one-third could be saved if the FRONT VIEW. farmers would take better care of it. LA structure such as shown in the ilâ€" lustration herewith is within the me- chanical possibilities of almost any man, and the cost should not be great. .Any one interested will have no trou- ble in figuring out a neat profit if he will spend a little time in estimating the cost of building a machine shed. ‘The house shown in the illustrations ‘is 16 by 50 feet and 12 feet in height. hoofs become overgrown It may be covered with shingles or with any good brand of roofing felt. I It is boarded up and down, and all cracks are well battened. A shop ten feet wide should be lo« cated either at one end or in the cenâ€" ter, as shown. A good, solid work- bench, with a strong vise, should find a place in the shop, and a brick flue, with a stove and possibly a portable forge. will not be out of place. The forge will in some cases pay for itself on one job in the time saved by not FLOOR PLAN. making a trip to town. During cold and rainy weather the time may be spent in repairing the tools and in doing the many odd jobs always at hand on the farm, and the pleasure of working with bright and sharp tools must not be overlooked. ' ' A structure such as shown should have doors sixteen feet wide and not less than ten feet in height. It should be weather proof and have at least two coats of paint. A good founda» tion should support the same and a good floor of wood or pounded clay he provided. The building should be put up in almost any section for $3 per running foot and in many sections for’ less. Dairy Notes. To maintain the flow of milk long, milk clean.

They are unable to exercise and also ‘ unable to rustle after a living in this world of strife. It is a very easy mat- ter to keep the sheep’s feet in perfect condition by a little attention from the shepherd at the proper time, yet it is very difficult t0_cure the disease after ,too long neglected. Every shepherd should own a good set of toe ‘clippers or sharp n’ippers and use them when needed, writes ‘ a sheepman in the Breeder’s Gazette, Chicago. The original wild sheep, almost with- out exception, occupied mountainous districts for their abode, and nature provided them with fast growing hoofs Ito resist the wear and tear of rock climbing. Since they have been do- mesticated we are keeping them on soft turf pastures, and therefore the EARLY STAGE OF FOOT BOT. side shell turns under the sole of the foot unless they are properly trimmed back into shape. Where the outside shell is, allowed to thrn under in this manner it forms a pocket in which dirt, small stones and vegetable mat- ter collect. These soon cause irrita- tion and soreness, and in case this soreness is not promptly attended to it is very liable to develop into true foot rot, a germ disease and very conta- gious. ' Situated within the cleft of the hoof, between the toes, will be found a large gland. This is an oil duct, not a “worm hole,” as many call it. Its use is to lubricate the hoof and pre- vent its becoming dry and brittle. Should this duct, become clogged in- flammation will set in, and in such a case the shepherd should gently press out the obstruction and apply a trifle of sweet oil to renew the secretion. Pasturing the flock on swamp land or in seasons of excessive rain while foot scald or soreness. Keep a watch- ful eye for all these slight ailments, and in case you see a sheep limping about or crawling around on, its knees get busy and remedy the trifle. It will take but very little efiort and time to keep your flock on sound foundations, and by so doing you will ward off greater complications. 'A good remedy for any form of sore foot in sheep is composed as follows: Coal tar dip (full strength), one ounce; pure pine tar, one ounce; flowers of sulphur, one ounce; castor oil (raw), one ounce. Thoroughly mix and ap- ply with a feather or soft brush. This is both antiseptic and healing, and two or'three applications should ef- fect a cure. The patients should be kept upon dry footing while being treated. Provided these rules are carefully observed it is not necessary for foot rot to break out in any flock. The Mired Cow. In the spring of the year, especially where creeks run through farms, cattle often get mired in the cold mud. If left for a time they refuse to get up, as their limbs are numb, and they eventually die. Sometimes cattle lie on the frozen ground or ice with the same result. Using a derrick is unhandy and un- satisfactory, as the animal must be placed on' its feet gradually and when it is in the notion. An Iowa breeder says the best method for the fore legs and the other for the hind legs. Make the holes according to the size of the animal, so it can stand if it wishes to. Place the ani- mal in the holes and let it be, feeding it and taking care of it. When it gets ready it will get out of' the hole with- out help. It may he a week and it may perhaps be a month, but pa- tience will save the lives of many ani- mals which otherwise would be-lost. Thoroughbred Dairy Cows. Not every farmer is calculated by nature to make a successful breeder, but any farmer who keeps cows can grade up and improve his herd by carefully selecting a good hull that has been thoroughly well bred along dairy lines. Grade stock requires a little more care than scrub stock. The edu- cation secured as each improvement takes place gradually {its the man N look after morth "LUZ. ling-z.

It is the opinion of some good farmers in Michigan that the split-log drag is almost, if not quite, as effective in keep- ing roads in good condition as the very much more expensive road scrapers. At that he has greatly understated its value, for if the farmers of Michigan have not found that it is several times as valuable as the grader for maintain- ing earth roads, they have fallen far short of learning its true value. The use of the drag, says the Michigan wri- ter, is not so general as it ought to be, but in districts where it is used the im- provement is plainly noticeable. The highway, instead of being in a rutty condition, with pools of water after every rain, is changed into an evenly graded, smooth road, over which it is a pleasure to travel.â€"Farmers’ Advocate. -0 Peterboro Review: The visit of the Belgian delegates to the Peterboro lift look was of particular interest and value to them as three lift locks of a similar character will be built on a Belgian canal. The structure and mechanism of the locks will be like that of Peterborough lock but they will not have such ahigh lift. The party before coming here visited the Erie canal, the Cornwall, the Rideau and the Soulanges. From here. they will go to Welland to the Welland Canal and before they re- turn home they will inspect the import- ant American canals. On the Belgian canals the water supply is not so great as it is in Canada. and the canals are somewhat smaller. And the boats that ply on the canals have to be built ac- cording to the specifications of the Government and must not be over a given length and width. -â€"â€"o-oâ€"â€" A merchant named Berry retired from business, leaving his son to conduct the store. Among the patrons was a man who never paid his bills until about six months after they became due. Saidthe young Mr. Berry, “ 1’11 fix that old gent. 1’11 send him this bill before it is due, and then, maybe, he’ll be ready to pay it by the time it is really due.” So he sent the bill. The next day the young Mr. Berry was surprised to get this note from the “old gent” : “Dear Huckle Berryâ€"You must be a goose, Berry, to send me your bill, Berry, before it is due, Berry. Your father, the elder Berry, would not be so hasty.
