WHAT PIKES FEED ON.
Peculiar Diet Ascribed to Them by
Truthful irishman.
There is a professional fisherman
of my acquaintance in Tlpperary who
kills many pike during tho winter,
months, for which ho finds ready salo
in tho town. Ho told mc of one cus
tomer of his who was in tho habit of
so beating htm down in price that he
felt Justified in resorting to somewhat
questionable moans to Increase tho
weight of his fish. In tho manner of
the winner of tho stakes in the cele
brated "Jumping Frog" sporting event,
he would introduce somo weighty Bub
stanco into their interior, stones, bit
of iron railing, etc.
Onco ho went so far as to stuff two
old handlcss ftatirons ho had picked
from a rcfuso heap down the gullet ot
ono before taking It to his customer,
who, having weighed it carefully, aud
after much haggling, paid him a frac
tion less poc pound for it than ho
might have perhaps obtained else
where. Meeting him next day ho was
Instantly awaro that there was troublo
in tho wind by tho opening remark,
"What do plko feed on, Paddy?" "Och
and indade, your Honor, but there's
mighty little that comes amiss to thim
lads," ho answered; "frogs and fish,
sticks and shtonos they llko well, but
they would give tholr two cye3 for flat
irons." Country Gentleman.
Cows on Bennett's Yacht.
When James Gordon Bcnnott's yacht
arrived from Europe tho other day the
persons who went aboard were aston
ished to see two cows.
"What in tho world docs Mr. Ben
nett have cows on his yacht for?" one
of the visitors inquired.
"He does not llko condensed milk,"
replied ono of'tho ofllcers. "so he car
ries his milk supply with him when ho
goes to sea. When he reacheB port
the cows are taken ashoro and put out
to grass. When we tall wo carry
enough fodder to Bupply the cows for a
long voyage. Tho cows are of tho fin
est grado and give an abundance ot
milk."
Officers Flirted Too Much.
Tho Cunard company has Issued an
order forbidding tho ofllcers to prome
nado tho decks with femlnlno passen
gers or to participate In any social
events on shipboard. It seems that
numerous complaints wero made that
tho officers wero neglecting their du
ties In order to play gallant, and, be
sides, that tho officers snubbed all but
tho pretty girls, bringing complaints
from tho ladles not endowed with
beauty. The fascinating wearers of
gold laco and brass bnttons will here
after attend strictly to their duties,
for steamship companies should tako
as good caro of their homely passen
gers as of their good-looking ones.

POULTRY
Poultry Raising In Oregon.
In tho Itoview of April 7 thero was
an article on gape worms in poultry.
It assigned anglo worms as tho cause.
This I think is a mistake. I havo been
in tho poultry business for the past
60 years in tho states of Indiana, Mis
souri and Oregon, and havo seen many
llttlo chickens turn up their toes in
Indiana nnd Missouri ns a result of
tho attacks of tho gape worm, but I
havo never had a caso of tho kind In
Oregon. Tho poultry business in this
state Is very extensive and on ac
count of our warm and damp climate
angl6worms aro more abundant than
in tho eastern states. Tho tempera
ture, .of young chickens Is about 100
decrees and that of angle worms CO
degrees. Tho angle worms will not
live at tho temporaturo of chickens.
I wish to toll you how to prevent
gapes: Last year at Uio expiration
of tho netting season I had threo hens
bring off broods on the same day. But
In placo ot removing them to the
chicken yard I let them remain in the
shod. At tho expiration of the first
week I removed ono of tho hens and
at the expiration of tho second week
I removed tho second hen, leaving the
third hen with 37 chickens. I let them
remain thero till they wero eight
weeks old and did not lose ono. They
wero all healthy and In good condi
tion. I always kept pure water In a
shallow dish before them and also fed
them wheat. As tho Bhcd was In tho
corner of tho garden, all tho weeds
they would eat I threw In to thorn.
For tho place to set my hens I have
a shed 12 by 24 feet in size. The
boards UBed to lncloso this wero 1 by
10 Inches and were put on green,
without battens. This now gives
cracks one-fourth Inch wide, which
insure good light The floor 1b of
plank. This building we call our sit
ting room. Our nests are portable
boxes and nail kegs. These arc filled
about one-third full of straw, nnd
when biddy shows signs ot Bitting the
straw is removed and now nesting
material is substituted. Then wo put
in the eggs, and at night the hen and
nest are removed to tho sitting room.
Wo keep the doors closed and give
plenty of water and feed.
I havo a new poultry houso to pre
vent predatory animals from getting
in. If tho readers of tho Review
would like, I will send description.
David nuble.
Lincoln County, Oregon.
We aro sure our readers will be
pleased to see a description of tho
poultry houso to which our correspon
dent refers.
As to the gapes, wo seo that Mr.
Ruble has misunderstood what was
said. Tho angle worm does not causo
gapes, but the dlseaso is caused by a
parasite of the anglo worm, which is
alBO an Intestinal paraslto of chick
ens. Tho scientific name of this worm
is "Syngamus Trachealls." It Is of a
reddish color and varies in length
from three-eighths to three-fourths of
an Inch. The two sexes aro perma
nently, united, which fact Ims caused
It to be also called tho "branched
worm." Somo people call It tho red
worm on account of its color. Tests
havo been mado In which anglo
Worms infested with gape worms havo
been fed to. chickens, robins nnd other
birds, with tho result that theso birds
wore all infected with gapo worms.
There may bo no gape worms in tho
locality In which our correspondent
resides. Ho is doing the right thing
in any case, as ho Is keeping his
chicks on a plank floor till thoy aro
eight weeks old. By that tlmo most
of them will be able to bid dellanco to
the gapo worm, as only tho young
chicks, and weak ones at that, usually
succumb. Wo shall bo pleased to henr
from Mr Ruble again. Farmers' Re
view. Don't Forget the Grit.
It would seem unnecessary to re
mind poultry raisers ot this very
essential clement In tho feeding of
poultry, yet a very largo number of
people annually forget, and their fowls
suffer in consequence. This is more
usually tho caso on tho farm than in
tho poultry establishment of tho poul
try fancier. The reason for this Is
plain. Tho poultry fancier has to keep
this factor in mind tho year round.
His fowls aro kept shut up all the
tlmo and have to bo supplied with
grit to mako ready digestion of tho
food possible. But tho fowls of the
farmer run out during a considerable
part of tho year, especially In tho fall
when tho garden has passed its bloom,
the fruit Is ripe, and tho grain Is har
vested. During this tlmo at least tho
birds pick up all tho grit they can uso.
When tho snow comes the grit la bur
ied out of sight and Is frozen hard to
tho soil when It is not so coyered. The
farmer seldom thinks of this matter.
It would not b,Q hard for somo of our
fannors to collect tho proper sub
stance from pits of coarse gravel, but
most of them havo no nearby supply
of such material. Doubtless the read
iest way out of tho difficulty is tho
purchaso of somo of the commercial
grits. In any case grits must bo so
cured or tho food used by tho poultry
will bo poorly ground or not ground
at all, and before spring tho digestions
of tho Birds will be seriously impaired.
Wo bellcvo tho lack of grit Is ono of
tho chief causeB of tho winter Indis
position of our fowls. Also in the
suramor time, lay In a atoro of grit
for winter, if it is obtainable from
natural sources.
No weeds grow on elthor side of
tho fences of the thrifty farmer.

Dirty Water Troughs and Stagnant
Water.
Sometimes tho milk gets a flavor In
It that Is not relished, but tho cow
owner Is unable to discover tho rea
son for 1L Good authorities on caw
feeding declare that it 1b possible for
tho drinking water to be tho cause.
Others will dispute this; but in any
event it is an open subject, and tho
water may fairly well bo under suspi
cion. Wo do know, at least, that wa
ter does sometimes contain Bub
Btances that cause Blcknoss among
cows, and whenever a cow Is sick her
milk gets "off," whether anything
passes directly through tho cow and
Into tho milk or not. We havo pub
lished much against cows being al
lowed to drink dirty and stagnant
water, but there is always something
moro to bo Bald. Wo havo scon old
moss-grown watering troughs In tho
pastures that wero never cleaned out
from year to year. A wooden trough
led back to somo rill at tho foot of
a hill, and this perennial rill fur
nished water for tho cows during all
tho summer. Tho water consisted
largely of tho rain water that had fall
on on tho land and reached tho trough
after being laden with much vege
tablo matter of varioua kinds. In tho
trough It lies under tho hot sun. while
the germB in Its slimy deoth luxuriate
and multiply, having for food the veg
etable matter that the rill has brought
from tho hillside.
Even wofse is tho stagnant pond,
for In it tho cows can stand nnd can
thus stir up Its muddy depths, which
Indeed aro not generally very deep
The old trough, bad as It Is, has one
virtue, lu that tho water is not only
always running In, but also running
out; nnd running water Is supposed to
have somo virtue. Tho old pond does
not supply enough water to keep its
outlet open after Uio beginning of
summer. Its only supply is the drain
ing of tho land with any disease
germs the land may have received
from any source. If tho eggs of
tapeworms have been droppod by oth
er animals, as is sometimes tha case,
they find a ready access into tho pond.
As the summer heat becomes greater
tho surface of tho pond sinks ever
lower and lower, and the cows stand
each day further out In tho water.
The warm water becomes alivo wlUi
all kinds of water insects, and .who
shall say that it docs not also become
allvo with vegetablo growths, some
of which are the organisms that man
ifest themselves ub bovine diseases?
Both the dirty watering trough and
tho stagnant pond should bo domi
nated from the pasture Good, pure
water Is tho only kind that should be
given to animals or humans. In theso
days of cheap windmills, thero is no
reason why overy cow pasture should
not have a supply of pure and safe
water from some point
Poor Feeding and Fat Percentage.
The question of feeding fat Into milk
has been long and heatedly debated.
Tho experiment stntlops generally
havo demonstrated, by a multltudo ot
tests, that a cow's capacity to produce
butter-fat cannot bo increased beyond
the normal of that animal. Oa tho
other hand a few isolated cases of
carefully tested cows havo seemed to
show that It was possible to feed butter-fat
into milk. Tho problem has
boon recently attacked from another
side, nnd tho experiment tried of re
ducing tho fat content of the milk by
poor fcodlng. This has been accom
plished both at homo and abroad.
Cows were fed on Insufficient rations
for a period of two weeks or more. In
that tlmo tho average lat content of
all the cows dropped from 4 per cent
to 3.25 per cent of bntter fat. This
will explain somo of tho cases where
It was claimed that tho feeding of a
rlchor ration Increased tho amount of
butter fat. Cows that were too poorly
fed had been used and naturally tend
ed to como back to tho normal of
their capacity. Tho practical ques
tion, however, is not, if poorly fed
cows can bo made to give normal milk
by normal feeding, but if cows that
aro being fed normally and aro giving
normal milk already can bo forced to
give abuormnlly rich milk by feeding
a richer food than usual. Wo believe
that It Is well demonstrated that this
cannot bo done.
Be Clean.
It has been said that successful
dairying can bo summed up In two"
words, "Bo clean." This is overdraw
ing it just a little, because, no matter
how clpau you keep tho milk of a poor,
dairy cow, it will not bo profitable.
But as to the quality and flavor off
butter, tho truth Is largely told in
tho two words given. It is easy
enough to euro bad salting, bad color
ing and bad working. Tho great
struggle comes la trying to keep tho
milk, cream and butter clean. This
is because dirt is almost universal."
It Is In the water, on the ground and
In tho nlr. It fastens itself to the
cow's uddor, her sides and her hair,
it attaches itself to tho hands of the
milker and to his clothes. It gets Into
tho milk as soon as It leaves tho teats,
and often It continues to add Itself to
tho milk during all tho processes of
handling and of skimming. Dirt in
this sense includes many things that
ordinarily aro not considered dirt,
llko tho smells that arise 'from tur
nips, cabbages in tho cellar and cook
ing vegetables and meats In the
kitchen. To quarantine against theso
Ib a colossal task, too great to bo ac
complished by tho lazy man or tho
man that does not think. That Is
why wo havo a few eminent dairymen
and a good many that are failures.
