WATERING MADE EASY.

A Device Which, Althooirh Effective) la fo Easily Made Thai: Every* body Civn Jti f . imluob It. In cold ■-r faring-the live stoH; i...agreeable work. AVi , i I: :n a reasonable it • ij.ua a platform may t ’ inl cr the well and the. pump :,, <1 >u it. An open wood troi ’. or r,:. pipe may be

used, ns il ustruted, for conveying water from w.'il to animals. Water will thus run downhill much easier than it can be carried (hiring winter. If a trough runs lengthwise of the feed shed', whether for oattile, horses, sheep or swine, the water may be pumped over the troughs directly into the drinking tank or trough. Pack the outside of pump to prevent freezing.— Farm and Home. Stay by Yonr Specialty. A creamery patron, who milks cows when butler 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 dlo to be saved?” Breeding for milk one year and; beef the next is a suicidal policy that no enterprising breeder would dare practice. By this haphazard- method, the above patron realized for butter fat $19.03 per cow per annum. The Kansas Agricultural college scrub herd, pushed along dairy lines, brought an average o' ’537,75 per cow per annum. This diffr ’ence of $18.12 per cow is what- world have been visible to the naked eye, had his cows been handled 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 same lines, make your business a hobby, and, above nil, stick to it!— D. H. Otis, in Country Gentleman.

V«loc of Good PuiitoiM. The editor of the -lournal of Agricul* tiwe, Montreal, makes an. estimate of the value of good pastures. He claims to be well acquainted with some of the finest pastures in from which the weil-1 nir.vu “(5 luster” cheese is made. They have been in grass from time immemorial, ami the tenants pay at least ten dollars an acre as annual rent for them. It tal es three acres to pasture a cow q, year, and the cows average 44S pounds of cheese, worth $42, n calf Worth sls, and the whey is worth about sls to feed the-pigs. This, then, gives as 'he income from three acres, and the labor and use of the cow, about $67, or i*!2:'S.nn per aero. Low 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 36 degree* Fahrenheit. Even a degree or two below freezing wi.l ordinarily do no damage. Temperatures which, will ruin potatoes and other vegetables are entirely favorable to •■;,j)ie£; and, conversely, temperatures’ whh-’IV are suitable to potatoes t.re :t.o h.gh for apple*.
