i. {CllCAL FARMIN Constructing a Plank Sidewalk. In many villages and farming communi- ties the sidewalks are constructed entirely of planks. When this is the case it none of the greatest importance that they be properly laid, or decay or a. tilting walk will soon follow construction. The side- walk must be laid up from the ground and it must have a broader, firmer foundation that; is usually given it, if it isZto remain useful for any length of time. The illus- tration shows a sidewalk, and its in '1 - tion, that is now in actual use andisi: t d- ing very firm and true. Lengthw s: ' r ps of Six-t inch stuff are laid upon flat rocks well bedded in the ground. the broader these rocks and the more firmly established the better. Urosswise over the lengthwise strips are laid strips of 3x4 inch stuffjust the width of the walk, upon which the planks are laid lengthwise. A sidewalk should never be laid with crosswise planks. l Such a walk is a continued source of annoy- 1 nine. The planks rot around the nail ‘ holes and soon each individual plank will ‘ fly up if one steps upon an end. Besides. it is difficult to secure r. smooth walk with crosswise planking. As to the planks, it is a mistake to use inferior material, or such as is inclined to splinter. Let the planks be rim through a planer to make them all of a thickness. A walk made in this way will prove satisfactory in use and will last Feeding Fodder. Corn fodder, to give the best results must be exposed to the elements as little as possible. If stacked outside, the outer layer of sheaves should be kept all Winter for protection, while those drawn from the inside, as much as possible, should be used. \Vater-soaked and frozen corn-stalks prob- ably represent as poor food as any that can be thrown in the cattle yard. As soon after harvesting as possible the stalks should be carted into the barn or stacked outside properly for winter in such it way that the rain will be shed. Top capping is quite essential to preserve the full nutritive value of the fodder. It is always better stored in the burn, but with a good dry foundation and capping, it will stand the exposure pretty well. In feeding, this outside should first be disposed of before that in the barn is touched. The small stalks may be fed whole, but the large ones should be cut for feeding. Even then, the cattle will leave some of the hard butts. If one had the means and facilities for crushing these hard wasted stalks they would decompose in the man- ure heap much faster. Some cut the fodder all at once in the fall of the year, but gen- erally it is better to cut as needed, or only a week in advance. The succulence of the stalks oozes out more or less when out in small pieces,and there is quite a percentage of loss. Where a cutting machine is not owned, and it is necessary to borrow or hire one, the whole quantity will have to be out at once;but aftei'all,cutting machines are so cheap that it is quite essential to have one on the farm where many ' cattle nrc kept. If the stalks are cut when in a. wet condition they will surely mould and spoil, and it is quite essential in linvingthe whole crop cut at once to see that the stalks arc in the proper condition for manipula- tion. Butchering on the Farm. In these days of low prices for farm pro- ducts, a part of the farmer’s time can very profitnbiy he employed in butchering as much meat as his household can use fresh, or cured, for future.- needs. There is also more or. less of a demand in the local marâ€" kct for dressed carcasses, especially of hogs. It is best to kill the latter during the coldest weather. The night and morning before they are butchered the bags should not be fed, as the resulting emptiness of the stomach and intestines allows the car- cass to be more easily dressed and the meat to cool more quickly. In catching the ani- mals, do not chase them to overheat the blood and taint the flesh, nor bruise or whip them, as the meat is killed along the welt, and is pale and tasteless. Sticking the hogs through the throat to the heart kills and bleeds the animals at the same operation, though a previous well-directed blow on the head stuns the brain and prevents pain. In scalding hogs, the boiling water should be cooled consnlernldy, for if too warm it sets the hair instead of loosening it. Either have plenty of help or convenient appara- tus to handle the carcasses rapidly. Save the heat by covering the water barrel or tank whenever possible, and stones heated in the lire may be Used to warm the water when it gets too cool. The hair should he. pulled out, not shaved off, and a very dull corn-knife or draw~shave will do rapid work on the body, while a trowel will scrape the grooves about the head. Hang up a carcass from a gambrel stick In the hamstrincs, remove the insides as soon as possible, aiid drcnch the moat, both inside and em, with the coldut water obtainable, so as to cool the flesh rapidly. As soon as the carcass is thoroughlycoolcd, but before it is frozen, cut it up into such pieces as are desirable for home use. The parts that are to be used fresh or for making hendslicese should be frozen, and if it is not convenient to render the lard immediately it may be treated in the same way. as also the offal which is to be boiled into soap grease. Pork for future uss should be. salted.
