We herewith illustrate a foul-fattening crate, used at the Ontario Agricultural College. This crate is six feet six inches long, eighteen to twenty inches high and sixteen inches wide. It is divided into three compartments, each holding from four to five birds, according to the size of the chickens. The crate is made of slats, except the ends. The slats are usually one and a half inches wide and five-eighths inches thick. The slats in front are run up and down and are two inches apart, to allow the chickens to put their heads through for feeding. The slats on the bottom are three-fourths inches apart, so as to admit of the droppings passing through to the ground. Care should be taken not to have the first bottom slat at the back fit closely against the back, as this will hold the droppings. The feeding and watering are done by means of a trough in front running the entire length of the coop. This trough is from two to three inches deep and is made of three-fourths-inch lumber.—Farmers' Review. Colde and Roup. Roup in fowls of all kinds is very dangerous to the whole flock. The hatchet is the best cure for it after the fowl's head becomes fouly odorous. Roup starts from colds, damp quarters, foul air, and other causes. When a cold gets bad and runs into a form of catarrh it is then almost sure to go into roup. Burn or bury all fowls that die or are kill of it. Weak constitutional flocks are always troubled with colds and roup. Kill them off and try new blood. A cold can be cured in a healthy fowl by an application of three or four drops of coal oil in the fowl's nostrils. Never get it in the eyes. Put enough permanganate of potash in the drinking water to color it. This is good for throat infections of all kinds and will prevent the spread of the trouble.—Farm Life. Wood Grouse. "The wood grouse is sometimes called the 'cock of the woods.' Early in the spring when the breeding season begins the male takes his post up on some elevation, displays his plumage in the manner of a turkey cook and utters a loud cry compared with the words 'peller-peller-peller' frequently with increasing rapidity, terminating in a sort of a gulp and drawing in of breath. The singular call brings the females together. The cock birds are exceeding jealous, especially of the younger brethren, whom they try to keep from calling or displaying themselves."—Wallace's Farmer. Wintering the Flock. It is of no advantage, to carry a lot of fowls over into spring unless there is some object in view, and the poutryman is confident that it will pay to winter the birds. Before winter arrives there should be a reduction in the number as close as possible in order to avoid crowding. Room on the roosts and on the floor is a necessity when the ground is covered with snow. Select the best, and then select again in order to avoid mistakes. It is better to have a few good fowls that pay than to retain a large number that are unprofitable. Sand for Chickens The New York experiment station at Geneva has found that sand, both in a ration without animal food and in one containing animal food with bone enables poultry to make better use of the food eaten. This is especially the case with chicks. It was found that chicks did much better when sand alone was supplied for grit than when oyster shells were supplied either alone or in combination with sand. There appeared to be some unfavorable action of the material in the oyster shells upon the digestive action. Best Grain for Poultry. Oats will prove more profitable than other grain for feeding poultry, in spite of the fact that some poultrymen are opposed to their use. They are the best balanced of all the grains, and if kept before poultry all the time the birds will never eat more than they should. The large proportion of hull seems to be a relief to the digestive organs, which find solid grain too compact for best handling. Poultrymen that have fed oats for years are loud in their praise. Selling Eggs by Weight. In France official agestis are appointed to inspect not only the number and quality of all eggs marketed but all eggs which pass through a hole of certain size are rejected. If eggs were sold by weight in this country with twenty-four ounces to the dozen as the legal standard what a relative difference it would create among the breeds. Everybody would be scrambling to secure fowls which would always lay eggs up to weight.

In the past the best dairy performers in the country have come mostly from the unregistered ranks. The Lincolnshire reds and the unrecorded Shorthorns have figured prominently in the leading dairy shows. Recently some of the Shorthorn breeders have felt that this feature was not receiving sufficient encouragement. As several of the first prize winners at the London dairy show have been pure bred Shorthorns and many others descendants of Shorthorns, it is very evident that unlimited possibilities exist in breeding their herds in this direction. In this connection it may be said that a mild attempt was made by our Shorthorn association in this country to encourage the dairy qualities of pure bred herds by including milking statistics in the herd book. While the association gave it their sanction, yet encouragement went no farther than this and consequently nothing has been done so far as we are aware to encourage developments in this important direction. This could be done probably if we could secure a $25,000 appropriation from congress.—Denver Field and Farm. 一 Key to Successful Dairying Key to Successful Dairying. A bulletin of the Illinois station says: The application of the scales and the Babcock test to the performance of each cow gives the dairyman the key to the situation. Where formerly he had to grope in the dark and trust to judgment, now he can find out the truth for himself. With but little outlaw of time and apparatus he can make each cow render an accurate account of the food and care given her. This points out the best individuals from which to select offspring in building up the herd. A rapid improvement may be brought about by the introduction and use of a pure bred sire of good breeding and approved type. The continued use of the scales and Babcock test, together with good breeding and rigid selection, soon raises the herd to a plane of greater production and affords the owner greater personal satisfaction. Cows that do not respond to good treatment should be disposed of at once. In case of doubt the individual may be kept an additional year, but a cow seldom has two "off years" in succession. Your Neighbor's Cow. Every progressive dalryman should take an interest in the kind of cows his neighbor keeps. He should do this, first from the unselfish standpoint of wishing good to his neighbor, and also because in many ways it is to his own advantage for his neighbor to have good cows. If he and his neighbor are both taking milk to the same cremery or the same cheese factory it is to his advantage to have his neighbor take to the institution as much milk as possible, that the cost of changing it into a marketable product may be as light as possible. If the farmer is making butter and sending it away to be sold, the more his neighbor can send away the better for the first, as two consignments in the same direction can be made more advantageously than one. Result of Dirt During recent years there has been much complaint of the "fishy" smell of butter, and all kinds of suggestions have been made as to its possible origin. It is not, however, believed that this is a new difficulty, but that it is an old trouble under a new name. It is altogether probable that the flavor or smell is named "fishy" more to accommodate a vivid imagination than anything else. Not that there is not something after the nature of "fishiness," but that it is not enough pronounced to be readily described by every one as fishy. In fact, some have dominate it "stale," and others "allowy" it "state," and others "allowy" it expert says that by whatever it is described, it is the results in the dairy, and the methods are all correct the HORTICULTURE "Heeling-In" Trees. Several correspondents ask about "heeling-in" trees. Some do not know what is meant by it, and others do not know how to do it. The following explicit directions are from "Green's Amateur Fruit Grower," a book that should be owned by every one who grows fruit of any kind, or who contemplates growing it: "Heeling-in" is a term used to designate the temporary burying of the roots of trees or plants in earth or other material. If the trees are to be moved again in a few days a very light covering will be sufficient; but if they are to remain several weeks much care should be taken to do the B work well. To begin with, select a dry, mellow piece of ground; dig a wide trench, put in the trees—a few at a time—either in an erect or sloping position, and cover them so deep and firm they cannot dry out. If apple or other somewhat tender trees are to remain heeled over winter it is best to dig a trench about two feet deep and three wide in land where no water will stand in the trenches; put in a layer of trees sloping; cover the roots with a thin layer of fine, mellow earth, filling in carefully and solid all the interstices among the roots and stems; continue this until all the trees are in, when the tops and all should be bent down to the ground and entirely covered with about six inches of earth. The cut shows the various stages of the operation. (A. row of trees with roots covered; B. the trees bent down and tops covered with earth at C.) The stems and all should be completely covered when the work is finished—Farm, Stock and Heme. Never Too Much Fancy Fruit Some people always see gloomy prospects and offered markets; they always look or dark side of everything and see and see to catch even a gilpose to tilt silver edging of a cloud, says the Canadia Horticulturist. We do, indeed, find our markets at times over-supplied with certain fruits, but if we look into the conditions we find either that the fruit was poor or that it was badly distributed. Perhaps one market was receiving three-fourths of the shipments from our Canadian growers, and hundreds of smaller markets throughout Ontario were almost bare of supply. We do not believe that too much really high grade fruit, of good shipping quality, can be grown. There is an axiom about this which we believe will hold good, namely, "The more good fruit put into a market the greater will be the consumption and the better the prices in the end," while no doubt the reverse of this statement is equally true. The fact is that when people cannot get good apples, for example, they will look out for choice fruits of other kinds, whether fresh or preserved, to take their place, and so on throughout the chapter. The moral then is to grow only fancy high grade fruit and place such goods only on the markets, and the chances are that we should seldom see a gift, unless it be of over-ripe fruit that must be hurriedly disposed of by farmers' Wide. --- Fall Sown Onlons. A correspondent for the Farm Journal disposes of the onion question is the following manner: "Here is the way I plant my onions. Spade and thoroughly prepare the ground about the tenth of November; plant and then cover with straw or other mulch for the winter. Remove the mulch about the middle of March, and top-dress liberally with manure. Cultivate as soon as ground is dry enough to work and you will have onions fit for a queen." In absence of definite information on this point, it may be inferred that this applies to onions raised from seed. Would this be a good plan to follow it. case of sets or "button" onions? Perhaps it would be as well, as to set them in the spring, the mulch were thick enough, the middle of March would be easy to remove the covering in this climate. Onions are tough and a little freeze does not seriously injure the young plants. If there is any seed on hand the plan is a good one to try. Cherry Budded on Own Roots. A well known horticulturist says that he never grafts the cherry on its own roots; for he finds in case of doing that that the root sprouts and sends up a new growth and the original sclerosis. This of course prevents the using of the variety involved and gives a worthless seedling instead. It is better to plant trees that have been budded on Mcczzard or Hahaleh stock, which will never sprout. One of the most annoying conditions of cherry growing will then been done away with. All of the tree taken from the soil will go main tree instead of into a and the tree will keep on OLDES1 And best the val: sa7 established 1892. VOL. 12 NO. 28 All Work Guaranteed. Z. K.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Chat. H. Hitchens. In Use For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA --- FOR USE OF FIREMEN. Extension Ladder Quickly Worked and Simply Constructed. A device which would be of use mainly for firemen is the scaling ladder shown in the illustration. The idea of the inventor is certainly moritious and the advantages and efficiency will be apparent to everybody. This ladder consists of two sections, being co connected that they will always be in position for an ascent with a step-by-step movement from one window sill to another. In case of fire the hook of one section is engaged with the sill of one of the windows of the building. A rope is attached to each section and when the fireman has reached the top of the one section, he stands there and guides A man climbs a ladder into a window. Hoisted Section by Section. the other section which is pulled up by other firemen on the ground by means of the rope. He then fastens the hook of this section on the window sill next above and goes up as far as he can. While he is running up or after he has reached the top of the section he is on, the firemen on the ground pull the other section up and it is fastened to the next window sill. A repetition of this operation results in rapidly elevating the sections until the top of the building has been reached, if necessary, the last movement possibly engaging the cornice of the building. In the meantime the fireman who is ascending has little to do beyond running up the ladder section by section alternately, thus saving much time and also much labor. The sections are lowered by a reversal of this operation, the firemen on the ground release the ropes, the ropes, of course, being of sufficient length to reach the ground. The patentee is Winslow F. Sampson of Medford, Mass. Boy Is Musical Wonder. Without having had a single lesson in harmony or compositon, a Chingford boy named George Williams, aged fourteen, has composed an elaborate oratorio, which he calls "An Exaltation." His only tuition has been an elementary course in the planfoerate under the guidance of a local organist and half a dozen organ lessons. No one outside the lad's family had heard anything of the oratorio until the other day, when the youthful composer played selections to the representative of a London newspaper. The work abounds in ford passages, and is altogether of an ambitious order. The boy's only assistance in the more technical part of his work was a text-book of Prout's and the whole was completed in three weeks. "An Exaltation" includes fifty numbers, arranged in choruses, solos duets, quartettes and octettes. It is singular that the boy had never heard an opera performed, nor has he heard a first-class choir render his favorite oratorios. The memorial recently dedicated to the first settlers at Newbury, Mass., is remarkable for its reproduction of the Mayflower, shown on top of the monument. Knelt on Love Letters When Miss Bessie L. Wyatt and John W. Jenks were married in the Floyd Street Presbyterian church of Lynchburg, Va., on June 9, they introduced a distinct innovation.

"My child was a very delicate baby. A terrible sore and humor broke out on his body, looking like raw flesh, and causing the child untold agony. My physician prescribed various remedies, none of which helped at all. I became discouraged and took the matter into my own hands, and tried Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment with almost immediate success. Before the second week had passed the soreness was gone, not leaving a trace of anything. Mrs. Jeanneette H. Block, 281 Rosedale St, Rochester, N. Y."

Arriving at a Verdict. Kushequa, Pa., July 10.—(Special)—In this section of Pennsylvania there is a growing belief that for such Kidney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back there is only one sure cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Davison of this place. She tells the story herself as follows: "I have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me more good than any medicine I have ever taken. I was also bothered with Lame Back and I can only say that my back hasn't bothered me since I took Dodd's Kidney Pills." Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the result would be considered wonderful if it were not that others are reporting similar results daily. Kushequa is fast arriving at a verdict that "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheumatism." Old English Family. The new speaker of the house of commons, James William Lowther, comes of one of the most ancient families of England, for when Sir Richard Lowther was his sheriff of Cumberland in the eighth and ninth of Elizabeth, he was the thirtieth knight in succession. Lowther is the family name of the Earls of Lonsdale, and the speaker is grandson of the first earl, while the fourth and present earl is a great-grandson, but born in the same year (1885) as the speaker James William Lowther has been in official life since 1883, when he was first elected to parliament, in which he is now member for Penrhit. In his youth he was quite celebrated as an amateur actor, with special skill in caricature. As He Explained It "Dearie," remarked Mrs. Small, "I see the railroads are going to put in flat rates.

Small "Oh, yes, there is something very small about the DeSmythes." "Little, are they?" "Yes, indeed. They have to be. They live in a flat." WANTED TO SLEEP Curious That a Tired Preacher Should Have Such Desire. A minister speaks of the curious effect of Grape Nuts food on him and how it has relieved him. "You will doubtless understand how the suffering with indigestion with which I used to be troubled made my work an almost unendurable burden, and why it was that after my Sabbath duties had been performed, sleep was a stranger to my pillow till nearly daylight. "I had to be very careful as to what I ate, and even with all my care I experienced polignant physical distress after meals, and my food never satisfied me. "Six months have elapsed since I began to use Grape-Nuts food, and the benefits I have derived from it are very definite. I no longer suffer from indigestion, and I began to improve from the time Grape-Nuts appeared on our table. I find that by eating a dish of it after my Sabbath work is done (and I always do so now) my nerves are quieted and rest and refreshing sleep are ensured me. I feel that I could not possibly do without Grape-Nuts food, now that I know its value. It is invariably on our table—we feel that we need it to complete the meal—and our children will eat Grape-Nuts when they cannot be persuaded to touch anything else."
