WATERING MADE EASY.

used, as illustrated, for conveying water from well to animals. Water will thus run downhill much easier than it can be carried during winter. If a trough runs lengthwise of the feed shed, whether for cattle, horses, sheep or swine, the water may be pumped over the troughs directly into the drinking tank or trough. Back the outeidte of pump to prevent freezing.-*-Farm and Horne.

Stay by Your Specialty. A creme v iy patron, who milks cows when but u r fat is high and beef low, but turns his attention to beef when butter fat is low, says: "Profits scarcely visible to the naked eye. What shall we dip to he saved?” Breeding for milk one year and: beef the next i» a suicidal policy that no enterprising breeder would dare practice. By this haphazard method, the above patron realized for butter fat $19.63 per cow per annum. The Kansas Agricultural college scrub herd, pushed along dairy lines, brought an average of $37.75 per cow per annum. This difference of $18.12 per cow Is what would have been visible to the naked ej-e, had his cows been bandied as the college cows were handled. **What shall we do to be saved?” Settle upon some definite line of work, study the business in all the details, find; out what others are doing in the aom® lines, make your business a hobby, and, above all, stick to itl— D. H. Otis, in Country Gentleman. Value of Good I’niKur*#, The editor of the Journal of Agricnkiure, Montreal, makes an estimate, of the value of good pastures. He claims to be well acquainted with some of the finest pastures in England! from which the well-known “Glosber” cheese is made. They have been in grass from time immemorial, and the tenants pay at least ten dollars an acre as annual rent for them. It takes three acre* to pasture a cow a year, ami the cows average 443 pounds of cheese, worth $42, a calf worth sls, and the whey is worth about sls to feed the pigs-.. This, then, gives as the income from throe acres, and’ the labor and use of the cow, about SB7, or $23.,-13 per acre. Law Temperature for Apple*. The most important condition in storing apples is the temperature. The storage room should be kept very near freezing point, ranging preferably from 33 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Even a degree or two below freezing wi.l ordinarily do no damage. Temperatures which will ruin potatoes and qther vegetables are entirely favorable to apples; and,, conversely, temperatures which are suitable to potatoes are too high for apples. 0
