Snook for this purpose. It is so simple and cheap that any farmer can make one.

Along the top edge of, each end drive wire fence staples, one and one-half inches apart, with about a quarter of an inch of staple left projecting. Through these staples tightly string No. 12 galvanized wire lengthwise of the table, as shown. making all splices near the staples, to} produce a smooth surface in the center. For every four feet in length, nail a cross-pinoe or support. The proper width is for three rows of pans, andbya little calculation the cross -pieces can be located between the Gross rows of pans. Hence no wood work will be within several inches of them. • Should the space be limited, a two-story table may be used by increas; ing the length of the legs and using a four -inch board for the upper sides, in which case only two rows of pans will prove more, convenient to place in posi- tion and reinove, unless" the space be- tween the two tables be increased, which is easily done. By using the best galvao limed staples and wire, these tables will last many years, and in most sections wire can be obtained almost as cheaply as the pine boards.

Males for Dairymen. • The following points to be remember- ed by dairy folks have he compiled at a well-known experimental dairy farm, They are entitled, "Things we do not do,' and may be adopted by others besides those for whom they were wiitten: 1. We do not consider that we know everything about butter -making, as something new is being discovered; every month. Not only from our own work are we continually learning, but also from the observation and research of others. 2. We ko not keep a cow that makee less than 200 pounds of butter in the year. 8. Nor put the dry cow on a starvation: ration. 4, Nor expect a cow to make 101210-' thing out of nothing. 5. Nor keep our cows in a i&i-house, hog pen or dungeon. 6, Nor allow them to go a whole year without carding or brushing them. . 7. Nor depend upon pasture alone for' a supply of summer feed. 8. We do not allow the milk to stand very long in. the stable to absorb foul odors. 9. We do not neglect to strain the milk at once before setting. 10. Nor set the milk in deep cans in well water without changing the water at least twice, or without ice. 11. Nor mix sweet cream with cream to be churned leas than twelve hours be- fore churning (the cream is ripened in one vessel whioh holds the cream for a whole churning). 12. Nor add scalding water to the cream, nor guess at the temperature with the finger, nor take two or three hours to churn. ry ot oniosens. rive in =On drew the eager cluck cluck which suinmons, the Chicks to their diet of worms, and the soft, caressing note of the mother hen as she gathereth her .brood under her wings... Of course they- have a language. Everything that has voice has language. What else can we name the vocal ex- pression of emotions ! Had not Alfred Tennyson a language ? Arid what was he? 'An infant crying- for the light, and with no language but a cry." More can be learned in a chicken yard 4about speadli than Garner could learn in his gorilla -proof cage m the African !forests. There may be heard the lan- guage of love, announcements of dis- moveiy, invitations to cline,. cries of alarm, shouts of defiance, challenges to combat, the cheer of victory, the inuez- zin's call and the hymn of the rising .S1111. In beginning to study a language it is more difficult to distinguish sentences than single words. I am not sure, but I think 1 have found the words which being interpreted are: "Here is a fresh lettuce, children," and '"Keep close to the coop, my dears ;" and once I heard a cock cry, "A hawk 1 Sawn, qui - pent," so plainly that I knew what he said, although he was mistaken and had been frightened by a homing pigeon. Emotional expressions form only the basis of a language, but there is in every company of well-bred fowls a multitude Of low sounds which must denote inter- change of idea; and when some student of gallinaceous physchology shall translate then into our language we shall find that a chicken yard is as full of talk as a woman's club -New York Sun.

Two Lincoln Steeries. Senator and Secretary Seward -or, as his friends generally called hini, "the Governor"—like all good citizens, went home to vote, and the night before elec- tion made it a rule to have a "familiar talk with his neighbors." The familiar talk was always a carefully prepared and instructive speeoh-at least his own party thought so -which appeared in the papers all over the country the next morning. Dining the war he usually traveled in a private oar, often with no company but his colored servant. Once - he invited the pastor of the „First Pres- byterian Church in Auburn, the Rey. Dr. Hawley, and three venerable elders of the same church to return to Wash- ington with him as his guests as well as en route. One of the first things to en- tertain his friends was, of course, to take them W see the President. He intro- duced them in his formal way, not omit- - ting in either case the title and the de- nomination to which he belonged. That "reminded" Mr. Lincoln, and he said : 'When I was a ) oung man living in a little town. in thc State of Illi - Speciaety Farming. There is a growing tendency among farmers toward the oulture of one or two special crops. The Farmers' Jour- nal discusses this subject' as follows: An agricultural writer makes this obser- vation : "Do not go into specialty farin- ing without understanding how to grow the specialty." The wisdom of •this advice is so clear that it would seem almost waste of spaoe to state it ; yet, as the Western Farmer says, "there is many a poor fellow to -day deploring ithe l�u of his little savings because he tried •to do what he did not know how to do. Be- cause other men make money in P. given line of farming does not insure money in it for you. They have probably made this branch a study for many years. They have experimented, read the experi- ence of others and made practigal apU- Cation to their own work. Practical and sensible application of another's methods does not mean that in every case they - must be blindly followed. Proper al- lowance must always be made for differ- ent conditions. It is a rare thing in- deed to find absolutely unchanged condi- tions on any two farms; no two are et- aetly alike. There may be and must be manyApoints of similarity to make the same work and same methods successful on a second establishment ; but identical cbnditions are so rare that it may al- most be said they are never to be found: Know what you are trying to do before you begin to do it. If your knowledge is imperfect your work will not be suo cesst ol. • You must in some way gain experience in the line you wish to work. The best method isrto hire someone who -has made a sweetie of this particular\ line. Tell him frankly that you expect' at some time to go into the farm business; don't learn hit methods and then -abuse his confidence by calmly ap, propriating them. By working with an experienced man you will get a good idea of all branches of the ,business; -learn what tO do in the emergencies that -Invariably arise. find out the best paying methods to be adopted. Remember, to be successful you must .give to any business your personal attention." No one can succeed M any line without that experience and wisdom in his 'chosen craft which makes him complete master of it.

Ou the other hand, the position of the speaker must be difficult, inasmuch as he has to balance Many considerations unknown to the members generally.

But if by ill -luck a man happens to rise often be- fore he iacalled, the mental process must be distressing in the extreme. He has a speech in his head, but it is modified again and again by other speeches. His faculties will be strung up to the point of preparation, and will then be suddenly relaxed.

The repetition of the process must make his brain reel, and rack his aching head, When at last lie is called to speak, his performanoe will lose half the verve it would have had at first.
