. Somehow we like to touch the edge
Of greatness and to feel
That we're acquainted with the chap

Who first imported elephants
Or something of that sort.

We spy a friendly name,

Why every person that we know
Should cast a vote for him.

To know the motorman

Our self esteem to fan.

FEEDING SHEEP.
Satisfactory Device For Holding H?y.
Silage or Grain.
In describing a h;:\\ and grain rack a
well known sheep feeder writes in National
Stockman and Farmer as fol
lows:
The best kind of a device will depend
upon what is to be done with the
sheep. If for fattening sheep or those
being wintered as stores I have never

shown in the cut for a side rack or to
stand so that the back side of it will
form an alley fence, or it may stand out
in the pen so sheep can go all around
it It can be made double, as is also pictured.
In either case the posts should
be thirty inches high. The flat part of
each side of bottom should be ten
inches wide. The slanting pieces of
double rack should each be ten inches
and put together as snown. in tne single
rack the slanting board should be
fourteen inches.
The bottom strip on both racks
should be eight .and the top strip four
inches wide respectively. This will
make the .uprights between sheep fourteen
inches in the clear, and they
should lap on both the bottom and
top strip far enough to be "nailed firmly
with clinch nails. These uprights
should be three inches wide and planed
so as to,be smooth, and the distance
apart will depend upon the size of
sheep. Lambs will do welLwith them

to come up and eat without crowding.
These strips allow the sheep to come
straight up to the rack and eat, but
prevent one sheep from crowding all
the others out of the rack, which, a
stout sheep is sure to do without these
crosspieces. .The slanting boards on
the bottom have their lower edges
slanted off so as to fit tightly upon the
bottom board and be well nailed.
These racks may be of any convenient
length, but if no more than eighteen
feet long they will need only three
sets of posts or legs. In these racks
can be fed hay, silage, roots and grain
by being cleaned of soiled or dirty
food, which is very easily done with
a wooden shovel made on purpose or
by a stiff broom.
Roots For Farm Animals.
If roots are stored in a pit in the
field a high, dry place should be chosen.
If the ground is clayey the roots
should be placed on top of the ground.
If it is gravelly and drainage is good
a shallow pit about five feet wide and
of necessary length may be shoveled
out The roots should be carefully
placed in a gable shaped pile about
five feet wide and as long as convenient
A thin layer of straw should
then be laid over the pile and this covered
with six to eight inches of earth.
Another and thicker layer of straw
and a final layer of earth will com:
plete the work. Ventilators should be
placed at intervals of ten or fifteen
feet which should be closed when
sweating has ceased. The pit should
not be opened on warm days in winter.
A ditch for drainage should be cut
around the pit Roots stored in this
way do not keep as well as when
stored in a good cellar; therefore the;
should be' fed out as early as possible.

Celery Stored In Cellars.
Where celery Is stored in cellars the
temperature should be kept low and
plenty of ventilation maintained. The
warmth and dampness of the ordinary
cellar have a tendency to cause the
celery to decay, but these conditions
can frequently be overcome. Celery
will readily absorb any odor that may
be present in the atmosphere of the
storage place, and care should be tak
en to provide sanitary conditions, xne
plants should have most of their roots
attached, and a bed of moist sand in
which to set them should be provided
Apple Paring Machines.
Paring machines are made for op
erating either by hand or power. The
more recent patterns have two or ever
three forks for holding the applet
while they are being pared. The at
