BABIES To Make Paint Stick on Galvanized Iron. We used to think galvanized „iron would not hold paint, duo to the inef • fectual attempts of painting a shed constructed of corrugated galvanized iron, Within a few months after painting, the paint would peel and blister.' A local builder of garages, however, says galvanized iron will hold paint, and has a large number of garages painted as proof. His method is to apply PP Y vinegar, covering the en- tire . surface with a brush. This is left three days after application, be- fore applying the paint. Paint of any color will stick to the metal after this treatment. Try this tnethod and you will be greatly pleased. • Did you ever stop to think how many different kinds of babies there are in the world? There are human babies, first, of course, but babyhood does not stop there. There are baby birds, and baby. kittens, and puppies,.: and chickens, ducks, calves, colts—oh, so fnany dif- ferent kinds. And the funny part of it is, that they all act much the same. They whimper when they are cold, yell when they are hungry, sleep when they are comfy. They are fed and washed 'and sbolded'amid caressed by their mothers; yes, and fought for. There is no animal so ferdchoue at a mother defending her young, and they will attack fearlessly a creature many times their' size. A friend told us . of watching a mother mouse running along a beam in their summer cottage and carrying a baby mouse in her mouth. Our friend caught her, and took the baby from her; whereupon the wee mother glared viciously at her, a desperate expression in her beadlike eyes. Then the lady gently restored the baby to her, and ;let her go. She seized it with a wild grab, and darted along the beam to safety. When thedark curtain .of night drops dowti`:on the world, and the' Sandman goes oh his rounds, and the - stars come out, did you ever stop to think of all the babies, in cribs, .and.., nests aell tables; and' hollow trees; - evenjungle caves, where the savage„ beasts cuddle their- culls;=al'ithe ba-''. hies snuggled close to their mother's warm breasts, mothers that sleep with senses alert to the slightest sound, the, light mother -sleep, always on guard, So we must be, very eareful not to hurt the feelings of any creature that is a mother, for mothers are mothers, whether furred, feathered, or human, and they grieve over their lost babies, unless- one,is left to comfort.

Free in t range ill not aid mach : the w development of chicks these warm days if the youngsters -are confined` to the colony houses in the morning and released only when the sun is high enough to drive them to the shade. Free range From daybreak to noon' is worth more than all the rest of the day, in the feed and exercise afforded. The green food available on the range 'during hot weather is apt to be dry and tough, so it will .be a treat - to give the fowls some tender lettuce.' or greens from the garden. It will -be a greater treat if chopped or".shred- ded and; fed at noon, when the fowls are resting in the, shade. Doctoring heaves: Mix in each feed of dampened crushed or whole oats and bran, one teaspoonful of a mix- ture of equal quantities by weight of chloride of ammonia and powdered stramonium leaves. This you can buy at:a drug -store. In winter, feed oat straw and corn -stover, moistened with lime -water; in summer, let the mare live on grass. Carrots may be fed and are a good feed for "heavy" horses: Keep rock salt where the horses` can help themselves. Keep the bowels active. Do not work immedi- ately after a meal, and do not feed bulky roughage at• noon when th'e beast has to work hard. Resetting Bolts in Concrete. It probably has been necessary, at some time itt the experience of every farmer, tgreset bolts inconcrete floors to fasten down a small mill, cream separator or gas engine. There are, of course, several ways in which this can be done, but the one which 1 have found most latiefactoi-y in every res- pect is by melting ordinary sulphur,'as it is bought at the drug store, ine small pan over a slow flame and pour- ing it around the bolt as it sets in its proper place in the hole in the con- crete. As sulphur cools into a solid crystal almost instantly, it is neces- sary to have the bolt exactly in its proper place. • The advantages of using sulphur over. •lead, which is most commonly used, is that it is cheaper;` the hole in the concrete need be only large enough to accommodate the headof the bolt, whereas the hole for the bolt when lead is to be used had best be conical in shape—that is, the bottom of the hole larger than the top; Sulphur in, hardening does not shrink, lead does; and to ofl'top its list of merits, a little water in the hole when sulphur is used . makes no material difference.—H. A Silo for Chickens: A supply of green feed for layitig hens in winter is sometimes hard to get; but if winter eggs are to be ex- pected, there must be a green ratio:a fed along with other feeds. For a number of years I gathered green material during .the summer months, and dried• it for winter use. This plan was very successful, but last winter.I tried a different -phial — a poultry silo in which I kept my green ration in its natural state,. 010 barrels were used for the silos, First, I stake an, opening aboutfour inches above the base of the barrel, to get at the silage, The opening is then fitted with a flap that fits snugly, and can be closed after each feeding. A hole is then bored inethe bottom of the barrel to drain off excess fluid, The silo is then ready for filling, I used green feed of all descriptions, such as clover, grass from the lawn, beet -tops, cabbage leaves—in fact, al- most anything that a chicken would eat, After the barrel: was filled. a lid that could be removed readily was made to fit snugly on top and within tthe bents,arrel. A weight was then placed on thecover to pack 'down the con - As the feed is taken out, from he - low, the contents :of the barrel will be pushed downward. t is not necessary that the hostel be filled bili al .one time."' 1t can be partly filled and'hioi•e green stuff added as opportunity'"off'ers. .A Barrel of this feed will furnish enough green stuff for thirty or forty 'hens during • the winter.
