FORKFULS OF FACTS. 
Pigs ox Cement.— I think A. J. B., page 
208, will make a mistake in putting hogs 
on a cement floor. If kept there any 
length of tim^ I have found it a positive 
injury to hogs of all kinds unless they 
are kept heavily bedded. If he will take 
plank and imbed them in the cement, he 
will have a good and durable floor, and 
one that will satisfy even a hog. p. w. z.

A Manitoba. Short-horn — My Short¬ 
horn cow, which I call Prairie Queen, for 
60 days ending March 8, gave 145 
pounds of butter and 3,1893^ pounds of 
milk. The greatest quantity of butter 
for seven days was 19 pounds. The most 
milk for one day was 67 pounds. How is 
that for one cow in a Manitoba winter ? 
Manitoba. john parkinson. 
R. N.-Y.—A good record. We can stand 
free trade in all such cows that see fit to 
wander over the line into this country. 
The Simplicity Hen Roost and Mite 
Destroyer.— The advice is often given 
by various poultry writers to close the 
henhouse during the day while biddy is 
hunting worms, and fumigate with sul¬ 
phur and the lice are killed (?). How 
about the numerous family biddy is car¬ 
rying around with her ? And, oh ! how 
about the nits or mite eggs with which 
the various crevices in the roosts and 
house are filled ? H»»re is my experience: 
1 took out a nest box in which a hen had 
been sitting and, although a handful of 
sulphur had been placed among the 
straw, the mites were thick. I inverted 
the box in the henyard, straw, sulphur 
and all, put on some more sulphur and 
set it afire. Two weeks afterward, I 
raised the box to examine it. It was 
well charred on the inside (it had rained 
steadily most of the time) yet the box 
was swarming with the mites again. I 
have frequently soaked roosts with kero¬ 
sene and a week afterward the mites 
would be thick again; so setting my 
“think” to work, I put up my Simplicity

roosts. I drive two stakes into the 
ground the proper distance apart, saw 
the top ends off square at the right 
height, and drive a 20-penny spike in the 
center of the top of the stake letting it 
stick up two inches. I now bore two 
holes in the roost pole so it will slip over 
the spike and the job is done. Whenever 
the chickens are lousy, or better, just 
before, burn the roosts and put up new 
ones. w. M. s. 
Are These Cows All Right ’—How’s 
this ? I have a Short-bom cow giving 
35 pounds of milk daily ; her calf is three 
weeks old. I also have a half Jersey and 
Short-horn that gives 28 pounds of milk 
per day; calf seven weeks old. I feed 
the calves skim-milk. I feed the cows 
all the clover hay they will eat, and give 
each about five or six pounds of bran 
with a handful of oil meal twice a day. 
We churn in a common straight dash 
churn, up and down stroke, sell the but¬ 
ter at a small village store, and get from 
15 to 20 cents per pound, according to 
the demand. Each cow makes us a clear 
profit of from 75 cents to 81 per week, be¬ 
sides all the butter and cream we use in 
the family, and milk for the pigs. This 
is all done in common country style, no 
red tape or close figuring. The cows are 
quiet, and 1 can sit down and milk in any 
place, at any time, or on either side. The 
Jersey cow is three years old ; the Short¬ 
horn is four. Are they average cows ? If 
not, what should a cow do ? k.
