I 1 , THEFARMINGWORLD. A SAWING MACHINE. C’j* Md Deacrlptlon of a Very Valuable . Form Implement. This device is to enable one person to saw BjnaU large wood with the ease that two san without it. Thera is no patent oh it, and 0. N. Bates, of Meso­ potamia, 0., sends u, cut and description of same for the "benefit of our readers. For the bed A. get a 4x4 scantling 5 4 feet 0 inches.long, with croBS-pieces B B, 3 feet long with pieces of oak boards 1 foot long nailed on the outside of each end for legs. Notches are made in the upper side of each cross-piece for the longbed-pieces to rest in. The te s t of the frame is made of strips of'lumber 8 inches wide by l inch thick. The two , uprights a t each end of the bed are 0 feet 0 inches long.' Strip X» across the top is 5 feet 6 inches. Also cross­ piece E, which is composed of two •trips far enough apart as the two sway bars, G, G, can easily swing between them. The cross-piece F is two feet long and connects the lower end of the swing-bars G, G, with bolts, and to it in the center is attached the saw with a holt. The upper ends of the bars G, G, swing on bolts and the rest of the frame is fastened solid with nails and bolts. A common saw-buck or any other simi­ tar device can be used to- hold the wood to be sawed. Also for holding the stick I use another old worn-out saw, secur­ ing one end to any.convenient port of the frame, and le t it drop into the stick which serves as a dog. The'Object of having two swing-bars and connecting them a t the bottom is to obviate too mnch rocking of the saw- The upright H is made of two strips, one hailed on each side of the cross-piece B, so that the saw can pass between them. The other upright C can bd made the same o r of one piece.— Ohio Farmer. SOME MILK STATISTICS. 4 The Tremendous Capital Invested in the Dairy Industry. The American Analyst says there are 53.000.500.000 invested in the dairy busi­ ness in th is ' country. That amount is almost double the money invested in banking and commercial industries, I t is estimated th a t i t requires 15,000,000 cows to snpply the demand for milk and and its products in the United States. To feed these cows 60,000,000 acres of land are under cultivation. The. agri­ cultural and dairy machinery and im- Lplements are worth $300,000,000. The (men employed In the business number 750.000, and the horses over 1,000,000. There are over 13,000,000 horses all told. The coWa and horses consume annually 80.000. 000 tons of. hay and nearly 00,000,000 bushels of corn meal, about the same amount of oat meal, 375,000,000 bushels of oats, ’3,000,000 bushels of bran, and 80,000,000 bushels of com, to to say nothing of the brewery, grains, sprouts and other ques­ tionable feed of various kinds tha t are used to a great extent. I t costs fto, 0001,000 to feed these cows and horses. The average price paid to the laborer necessary in the dairy business is probably $30 per month, amounting to $180,000,000 a year. The average cow yields abont 450 gallons of milk a year, which gives a total product of 6,750,000, 600. Twelve cents a gallon is a fair price to estimate the value of the milk, a t a total return to the dairy farmers of $ 810 , 000 , 000 , if they sold all their milk as milk. But fifty per cent, of the milk is made into cheese and butter. I t takes twenty-seven pounds of milk to make one pound. Of bntter and about ten pounds to make one pound of cheese. There is the same amount of nutrition albuminoids in .eight and one-half pounds of milk th a t there is in one pound of beef, A f a t steer famishes fifty per c en t of boneless beef, bu t it would require 34,000,000 steers, weigh­ ing 1,500 each, to .protjnee the same amount of nutrition as the annual milk product does.

The JBxparieuee of a nocknmitcr Who H»* IIvon SHCooaifUl, • I have had the care of sheep and raised sheep since I was twelve, years of age. I am thirty-five years past and have kept them in almost eveiy way you could imagine. The first winter we had sheep, we kept them in a straw pen seven feet high, th irty feet square, with gate a t south end, with God’s green earth for floor and blue sky and clouds for roof. This w as’for fifty sheep. They came out all right in the _spring. Of course it took more feed to keep them; fed them foddev and corn on cob, and hay for dinner, The next winter we used a log house, tiventy feet square. Fed shelled com and oats mixed, hay in racks, and fodder for dinner; with about ono quart of oats and corn for each sheep. We found that that was.too warm, so I- made sheep stable of boards, thirty feet square, with racks for liavand w ith loft above for hay, I How-feed com and cob. I grind in a common one-horse grinder, and mix with pats. I find that they keep in good order and do well. Last fall my cows and sheep grazed on ,meadow till last of ^November, and I had a good crop of hay off it. That is one •advant­ age in keeping sheep. I t does away with,mice in meadows, and . bumble bees, that are so troublesome, to teams. For twenty-five sheep you must give them shed room no less than twenty feet square, with racks on two sides, or make it in length and not so wide. I have mine on west of barn till cold weather, then change to a barn shed for lambs to be dropped. Lambs can stand cold weather after they are three days old without much care. . A- good sheep-house c stnb e built cheaply by taking the south side of the bam; one side of it is made and 700 feet of third-class lumber will make the rest. Have four windows, to le t In sun­ light; for a bam that is fifty feet long make twelve feet wide, -with rack for forty sheep. Of course you musteon- sider the kind of sheep and sire. I have always kept the Shropshire and South- downs.' I believe they pay the best. A rack may be made of woven pick­ ets; fasten to side of. the bam, then take fence boards and make a box below the rack th a t will catch all seeds and fine hay, so there will be no waste. I t seemB strange so many are without sheep. Some say: “I would not be bothered with them,” while others have no pasture for them. I say. all farmers could keep some sheep to their gain.— flov. Farm, Field and Stockman. STRAIGHTEN THE GATES. How to Keep Farms from Having; a Slov­ enly Appearance. ^ " In riding through the country I fre­ quently pass good farms that have a way-down appearance. The bam doors are offtheir hinges, wire fences loosened just enough for stock to pass through or over, and sheds out of repair. But when I think of my place os it looked ten years ago I believe it looked worse than my neighbors’, though I flatter myself it looks better now. Some things which look badly o*S the farm are the results of chance. For instance, having a stack of hay near a fence in the pas­ ture, I have turned the fence about the stack and le ft i t to be straightened when I had more time. 1 have now but one crooked fence# I have made a mov­ able fence of lumber and wire. The panels have three wires for stock and five for hogs. The top and bottom bars project a t either end and are secured by a triangular piece as shown in the en­ graving. for the wire- fence I have made iron bars of l,1* inch tubing 6 feet long with holes a t proper distances to pass through the wiresyr This is for temporary fencing. V fhm I take down a wire fence I have a windlass mode on a wagon something like a cultivator frame with theytongue An front so 1 can w indup the wire tr y a short time. I t will reel up fourm iies an hour. To pre­ vent the doors and gates coining off as formerly I use a pnit of bolts, one in the bottom hinge and another through the top hinge in the hole nearest the joint.—J. F. True, In Farm and Home. Do Xot Trifle With Glanders. A Kansas man recently died with the glanders, which he contracted from a horse. Too great care can not be exer­ cised where any thing th a t has the slightest appearance of glahders ap­ pears in tile horse. The disease is ter­ ribly fatal and terribly loathsome. I t is difficult to determine whether or not glanders are present in the earliest stages of the disease. But when there is a discharge from the nose of the horse, i t is safe and wise to be on our guard. Handle the animal with the ut­ most care, remove it from the well horses, and if i t is finally settled that the disease is glanders, kill the animal and bury it a t once. There is no sort of excuse for letting a glamlered horse live an hour. There is too mnch danger in trifling with glanders.—We#tern S o * 1* , T h K beat poultry is th# cheapest. Sell off the teat.
