Sometimes the mistake is made of trying to carry a heavier line of stock than the conditions justi- fy, and then the feed disappears so rapidly that before one realizes it there is not enough for half the flock. It is better to sell the sheep now and raise just enough to consume all the food that can be prepared and stored for winter use than to let the flocks go ahead, trusting that later you may be able to dispose of them to advantage and thereby run the risk of falling short of provisions for the number that could otherwise be easily and soils factorily carried along. Labor Inving Feed Barn. '1 western paper describes a con- venient and economical feed barn. Above the triangular hopper, which extends the length of the building, is s floor with traps, through which feed can be placed in the hopper and evenly distributed throughout its length. There is a door, closed in the cut, by means of which the hopper can be fed from the wagon. The hopper opens scoxomcu. rush mas. into a trough, from which the cattle feed as the grain descends. The pro- jecting roof affords all the protection needed for cattle in southern latitudes. For cotton seed the throat of the hop- per should be six inches wide, with three inches between the opening and bottom of trough. For corn or oats a three inch strip can be placed centrally under the throat to prevent too free flow of grain. The inclined walls of the hopper should be supported at in- tervals with 2 by 4 pieces extending from trough to rafters. Horses Wounded In Battle. The war correspondent of the Lon- don Times, writing of the battle of Sedan, said that only those who had seen a battlefield could form an idea of the extraordinary way in which wound- ed horses will follow their regiment or battery as long as they have a leg to crawl. He saw what had evidently been cavalry sergeants’ horses follow- ing the squadron to which they and their masters had belonged, keeping their regulation places in rear of the troops, wheeling with them and halt- ing exactly as though their riders were in the saddle and all the time stream- ing with blood. Habit is everything' it is a difficult thing to persuade a troop horse to leave the ranks, and a. - imr~F which has been regularly riddeni m 1 groom in attendance on a lady nm-de much persuasion before he will current to move alongside another home; he has learned that his proper place is 50 yards in the rear and can- i not unlearn it in a hum. Stocking Pastures. farm buildings. is there cropped very close, if not ab- bit of grazing for the horses which happen to be in the field. Such bits of ground get horses, cows, sheep, pigs and poultry running over them, and between them all no sour bunt-hes are allowed to grow. Contrast a close like that with a field grazed entirely and for several years with horses in which patches of the grass are up to the horses’ knees, while other parts are as bare as a road, and it will at once be seen that pasture land is apt to become more or less permanently damaged if only one class of stock is grazed on it. Sheep are-not injurious to old turf if it is not stocked too heavily with them, but on newly sown grass or mixtures they do a considerable amount of harm to subsequent crops by picking out the finer grasses and clover plants, often by the root if the soil is loose. Neither does it answer to put a number of sheep together with milking cows, for the reason that the sheep pick out the herbage which should go to produce butter fat, and a smaller yield of but- ter is the result. There is no objection to running two or three score of sheep in a field containing the same number of acres together with stone cattle and horses. Fifty acres of useful grass ought to keep 10 horses, from 15 to 20 strong beasts and 40 sheep going satis- factorily for a long time. Colorado Lamb Profits. Some of the eastern papers are try- ing to make it appear that every Fort Collins lamb feeder cleared a net prof- it of $2 a head the past season. says the Denver Field and Farm. This is no doubt very good campaign stud and we only regret that the story is untrue. Those who have made a dol- lar in the clear are feeling like fighting cocks and are satisfied with the re- turns. The Fort Collins lamb feeders this year have realized from $5 to $7 a ton for their hay, and as from four to six tons of hay can be harvested from an 1mm of land it may readily be seen that it is a. profitable crop. As a con- sequence, alfalfa is taking the place of many other crops, notably that of wheat. Many of the prominent feed- ers are buying more land to seed down to this crop, while the farmers gen- erally are increasing their acreage an- nually. Several small farms in the vicinity of Fort Collins have changed hands this season and will be seeded to alfalfa instead of wheat. Further- more, the alfalfa crop of this year promises to be the largest and best ever gathered. The heavy rainfall of April and May gave the crop a good start and the i be heavy Keying has and good weather has been experienov ed thus far. first cutting will already begun To make the best possible use of a grassfield it is necessary to graze it with more than one kind of stock, says the London Live Stock Journal; other- wise there are bunches of grass not made the most of. To see the advan- tages of grazing land with various kinds of stock it is only necessary to look at the herbage just outside the Almost invariably it solutely bare, and yet it is the favorite When and low to Pet Lily Bulbs. It has been my custom to pot the bulbs just as soon as received, about the end of August, using any ordinary potting soil such as is employed in growing roses and carnation, but 1 would not advise a very liberal use of manure at this potting. I prefer so sad the small size pots when starting thd bulbs, and then shift them. , For the largest size bulbs of larrisii a six inch pot is best; for medium bulbs five inch and for small bulbs feud inch. After potting, place closely to; gether in a cold frame in any out of the way place, and give e good water ing, then cover to the depth ef tive‘ inches with coal ashes or sphagnum moss, and they will require very little attention for the nest twe months or until Nov. 1, when they should be pro- tected with sash or shutters at night, as they will be pushing through the coverlng and must be kept from frost Early in December they should be r6 moved to a cool house and kept at a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees at night. By this time the pets should be well filled with working roots and the plants four to six inches high. They, should now be shifted into their flower ing pots, which should be two sizes lar- ger than those in which the bulbs were started. Use good soil well mixed with one-third well rotted cow manure, after potting, water well. Care must now be used in the water ing. Do not give too much water until the roots take a good hold of the new soil, and when the plants get to be 16 or 18 inches high they should be stak- ed, otherwise they will get crooked and unsightly. The plants will then be in such condition that they may be brought into bloom at the will of the grower. If wanted to bloom 'April 1, the new er buds should show by Feb. 10.

McGregor Before Pennsylvania Horti- cultural Society. 1 Carnation Grower’s Little Secret. Carnation seeds are sown and cared for in a manner similar to those of any greenhouse plant. When the seedlings have developed for ten days, they are placed an inch apart in beds, are then potted and afterward treated similarly to other plants. While the growth is an intensely interesting work, it is very expensive, and the successful grower of a new strain well deserves the plaudits of flower lovers. Preparatory to shipping, the cut flow- era are stored in a cool room. The worst possible treatment for cut cama- tions is to take them into a warm room immediately after cutting. Blossoms treated thus will last but four or five hours. The most successful way to treat a carnation, and this statement is now made public for the first time, is to plunge it after cutting into luke- warm water, after which it should be placed in a room of a temperature similar to that in which the flower was - grown, gradually cooling the room. Carnations thus treated may be kept from three to five weeks. Never place the flowers on ice. Sudden changes of temperature are sure death for carne- flons, says 0. in Word in American chltprist. .. -l- . .,,1 g \ r*-'M- Tomato, and ' her d S eons. O ‘ . °°mr Unduy 11:3wa $332.
