as to the Care of Lire Stock and
Poultry.
Poultry Industry In Chinn.
The breeding and rearing of fowls Is
an important industry In China, as
they form a very considerable portion
of the dally food of the better class of
the people. The United States consul
at Chin-kiang says that the varieties of
fowls are few in number. The prin
cipal are the Yangehow fowl, a large
bird of good flavor, which weighs from
four to six pounds. This variety is a
good layer and sitter, the eggs being of
brownish tinge and good size. It lays,
during eight or nine months of the
year, about 200 eggs, ceasing only in
the hot summer nights. This descrip
tion is kept more for the table than
for laying purposes, as its flesh is par
ticularly good. The Langshan fowl is
a distinct and fairly pure breed from
the Yanktze river region, Just below
Chin-kiang. It is a large, heavy, hand
some bird, weighing from seven to
eight pounds. The eggs are of darkish
brown, and of good size. The Black
Bone or Typhoon chicken is a distinct
fancy breed. In color it is white and its
skin, legs, bones, flesh and comb are
very dark. The flesh of this fowl is
much dsteemed, and, boiled down into
soup, it is prescribed by physicians for
certain diseases. The Chow is another
variety. This breed is small, weigh
ing generally from two to three
pounds. A pure white cock of this
breed is always carried on the coflln
at a native funeral cortege, and is sac
tlrely tor foreign markets, that Is, for
the foreigners at tho treaty ports. The
peacock Is reared In many parts of
China, and has long been known to the
people, though it Is not n native of the
country. Its tall feathers are used by
the Mandarins In their caps to desig
nate official rank.
The Gold and Silver Pheasants of
China may be called domesticated
birds, as they are now so extensively
reared that it is doubtful if they are
found wild. There is a bird in China—
the Cormorant—which is domesticat
ed, trained to wonderful intelligence,
and employed in catching flsli. These
birds are reared and trained with groat
care. A pair costs from five to six dol
lars. They are taken out on the lake
and rivers in a small boat —one man to
every ten or twelve Cormorants. The
birds stand perched on the side of the
boat, and, at a word from the man,
they scatter on the water and begin
to look for fish. They dive for the fish
and then rise to the surface with the
fish in their bills, when they are called
back to the boat by the fisherman. As
docile as dogs, they swim to their mas
ter and are taken into the boat, when
they lay down their prey and again
resume their labor.
Breeding for Milk.
When It is so easy to combine in
moderate degree the milking and the
breeding qualities of one animal, why,
it may be asked, should breeders have
gone to such extremes on the one side
or the other? We believe that the
whole thing is due to physiological
laws, says London Live Stock Journal.
The perfect beef animal and the per
fect milk animal are two totally differ
ent productions, and In their highest
excellence the two characteristics can
not exist in the same frame. Common
stock, possessing fair milking and fair
grazing properties,are easily produced,
but the abnormal beef beast and the
THE CARRIER PIGEON.
The illustration given above is repro
duced for the Farmers’ Review from
the French of Ad. Benlon. It shows a
carrier pigeon en route with a mes
sage. The letter in this case appears
to be fastened to his legs.
The carrier pigeon is a bird larger
generally than the common pigeon,
measuring about 15 inches in length
and weighing about one and one-fourth
pounds. The neck is long and the pec
toral muscle very large. An appendage
of naked skin hangs across its bill, and
contiues down on either side of the
lower mandible. The great develop
ment of this muscle is what gives the
bird the power of long continued flight
The quality that renders these birds
so valuable as messengers is their hove
lor home, which seems abnormally de
veloped. The art of training them is
carried to perfection in Turkey, where
the procedure is about as follows: A
number of very young birds are taken
to a distance of one-half mile from
their home and freed. The most intel
ligent will quickly find their way to
their homes. Those that get lost are re
garded as stupid, and are rejected. The
ones that return home are then taken
to greater distances, first only two 01
three miles from the domicile, but
afterward to hundreds and even a
thousand miles. Thus taught, they be
come expert in returning to their own
ers, and do this from all parts of the
country.
As to their rapidity of flight there is
much dispute. The more conservative
say that the usual speed is about 30
miles per hour. Some, however, be
rlficed at the grave. Also on native
boats a cock bird is killed on the Chi
nese New Year’s day, and the blood
sprinkled on the bow to propitiate evil
spirits, and to insure good luck during
the year. Ducks are reared in great
quantities, and are largely used for
food, both fresh and salted. They are
all artificially hatched, as the duck is
an uncertain sitter. The common duck
is a good-sized bird, weighing, when
dressed for the table, three or four
pounds, and is much esteemed for the
excellence of its flavor. After fledging,
the birds are driven about in vast
flocks through canals, and from pond
to pond, where they find their food.
They are brought under strict discip
line, and obey their keeper’s call with
extraordinary intelligence. The Man
darin duck is smaller than the common

versified and brilliant plumage. It is
reared chiefly for its beauty, In the
grounds of the wealthy there is always
an artificial lake, where the Mandarin
duck is kept. They are considered as
emblems flf conjugal fidelity, and a
pair of them usually form a part of
wedding processions. Preserved ducks’
eggs are considered a delicacy, and al
ways form an important part of a Man
darin dinner. The process of preserv
ing them is as follows: A lye of bean
stalk and lime is made by burning
these to powder. This is put in water,
black tea leaves and salt in certain
proportions being added. The boiling
is continued until all the water has
evaporated, and the residue becomes
caked and hard. This is powdered fine,
and the fresh eggs are placed therein
one by one, with a little rice husk.
1 hey remain in this preparation one
hundred days when they are ready for
use. The preserved eggs will keep for
several years.. When ready for use they
have the appearance of hard-boiled
eggs. The shell is taken off, and they
are put on the table, cut into small
slices and eaten as hors d’oeuvres. The
goose is generally of pure white plum
age, very striking In appearance, of
great size and majestic carriage, much
resembling the swan. The turkey has

llevo It possible for these birds to fly
from 60 to 90 miles per hour in rare
instances. It takes about 12 hours for
a carrier pige< n to digest a crop full
of grain. Passenger pigeons have been
shot in New York with their crops full
of rice, which they could not have ob
tained nearer than the Carolina rice
fields. They must have traveled 300 or
400 miles in six hours, or over 50 miles
per hour.
In England pigeons have been re
peatedly used in wagers, bets being
made on the full speed of the birds. In
such cases a greater speed than 36
miles per hour has rarely been made.
In 1833 a great trial of pigeons was
made at Ghent. On June 24, of that
year, 24 birds that had been entered
for the prize were thrown up at Rouen,
about 150 miles from Ghent. The first
pigeon arrived in Ghent in one and
nno-hnlf hnnr*a< 1R noma * u t _ t
and one-half hours, and three In the
course of the day; four were lost. The
first pigeon must have traveled at a
rate of nearly 100 miles per hour, which
seems incredible. Yet it is possible,
seeing that sixteen others also obtain
ed a speed of over 60 miles per hour.
It is hard to believe that carrier
pigeons are not governed by instinct,
yet men that handle them say that it is
merely a matter of education. If the
bird cannot recognize some landmark
he gets lost. Also birds thrown up dur
ing a fog or haze, seldom reach their
destination. There are, however, 3ome
rare instances extant that seem to prove
that the birds can succeed Irrespective
of the educational principle.
abnormal milk or butter cow must
have a carcase specially suited for ex
cellence in one direction or the other.
British cattle breeders are so captivat
ed by symmetry of form that they
have done comparatively little in de
veloping special milk and butter
breeds. There Is, indeed, only one—the
Ayrshire—and in it the wedge shape,
so suitable for milk, offends ideas of
beauty. For the rest we have to go to
Jersey and Guernsey for our special
breeds, which have been developed as
the result of at least a hundred years’
systematic breeding for this particular
i quality. Our best milking shorthorns
; aioo leuu 10 me weuge snape.
Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin, who
has made a special study of this sub
ject of breeding for milk or for beef,
says: “I believe that the English ideal
of the form of a dairy cow has been on
the whole, a hindrance to the develop
ment of dairy cattle. It is essentially
based on the outline of the shorthorn,
and hence is more or less a beef form.
To my mind, the true science of breed
ing for dairy qualities is based on the
same law of distinctiveness that gov
erns in breeding horses for speed. I
do not think that the English ideas of
dairy breeding, based largely as they
are on the ‘general purpose’ notion of
beef and milk both, are conducive to
the best development of dairy quality
and potency.”
We consider that Governor Hoard’s
views are quite right, and that though
moderate capacity for beef and milk
can be combined, yef superiority in
both cannot be attained in the name
animal. Therefore, we hold that Brit
ish breeders who have striven for the
perfection of beef cattle, and Channel
island and Ayrshire breeders who
have aimed at superiority of butter and
milk, have been acting in strict con
formity with physiological laws, which
will prevent combined excellence in
milk and beef, though, as we have said,
moderate achievements are within the
reach of everybody.
The vindication of what our breed
ers have accomplished Is consequently
to be found in their observance of laws
of nature, which cannot be set at
naught, and it the attempt -s-n'j m

, Fat Hem.
So much has been said about laying
hens getting too fat, that more thun a
few people have concluded that the beat
way to keep hens in good condition tor
laying Is to half starve them. This Is
a mistake. If layers aro fed the proper
kind of food, and given a chance to ex
ercise properly, they will not get too
fat to do their best as layers. Ap or
dinary flock of farm fowls are not apl
to get too fat, for they run at large and
are constantly taking exercise enough
to keep them In good condition.
We know that when hens are kept In
pens most of the time, they can easily
be fattened beyond the point of profit,
as far as laying 1b concerned, but our
readers are nearly all farmers who al
low their fowls perfect liberty r i to
such we want to give the warning that
they are Just aB liable to underfeed
them. Those who have fed their fowls
liberally during the past severe winter
will be rewarded with plenty of eggs
as soon ns the weather moderates this
spring, while those who have been fear
ful of overfeeding will probably be com
pelled to wait till the price of eggs has
fallen very low before their hens will
be producing at their highest capacity.
Too many are careless about properly
feeding their hens during the season
when they do not lay many eggs, for
getting that it Is necessary to keep them
at the highest point of health and vigor
if best results are to be expected.—

3. Salt is thus partly a flavoring and
partly a preservative.
4. No amount of salt will preserve

5. Salt should be applied with a rea

7. The amount of moisture left In the

8. When salt is applied to drained
butter and left to dissolve at the
proper temperature (about 60 degrees)
it will absorb moisture from the but

quite an important matter.
9. Heavy brine, when applied only
once in brine salting, will be diluted in

Cheap Rations.—With butter selling
at 18 cents on the Elgin board of
trade, feeding for profit is not so easy
as it used to be. The writer finds
nothing cheaper this winter than a
grain ration of bran equal in quantity
to the milk the cow gives and a forage
ration of cornstalks. Cornstalks cost
nothing but saving them—we have to
grow them to get corn—and exchang
ing a pail of milk for a pail of bran is
a good trade, especially if it is Jersey
milk. With this ration it requires
qjiout four and one-half pounds of bran
to make a pound of butter. We have
made it with less bran, but the in
creased feed makes a paying increase
in butter yield per cow with good cows
A cow giving thirty pounds of milk per
day has about seven and one-half
pounds of bran, and a smaller yielder
is matched with a correspondingly
smaller mess of bran. Bran for milk
in equal bulk—measure for measure—
is so safe a rule that the veriest novice
need make no mistake. The expert
with good cows can profitably feed
richer and more concentrated food._
Advantages of a Separator.—The
gain of butter by the use of a separator
over that of the best deep setting meth
ods is slight, if any. Tests have varied
considerably in this respect. The
principal advantage of the separator
is the economy in time and space in
the dairy, no setting pan or pail being
required. The cream is separated soon
after the milking, and the cream only
has to be taken care of. The skimmed
milk too is sweet, and therefore better
for feeding, as the souring' is at the
expense of the nutriment in the milk,
some of the sugar of it being changed
into acid. The quantity of milk for
a pound of butter depends on the pro
portion of fat in it. If there is 4 per
cent, there will be a pound of butter
for each 25 pounds, or about 12 quarts.
And there should be this proportion
in the kind of cows mentioned, if they
are well fed*—-Country Gentleman.
Keep Down Expenses—We hear from
men on every side that farming does
not pay as well as it did twenty years
ago, and that the country is goi ig to
the dogs. Their fathers or grandfath
ers made money on the farm; why
can’t they? The trouble is Just here:
They live beyond their income. They
spend more than they earn. Getting
“on tick” has ruined many farmers,
not only In Kansas, but all over the
country. Farmers twenty and forty
jours ago bought and sold for cash.
Their wants were not so numerous as
the wants of the average farmer today.
They bought what they needed, and
could pay for. There was none of this
modern splash and empty style about
things that we see now.—Ex.
Whey Butter.—The agricultural de
partment at Cornell claims to have
found that butter fat can be extracted
from whey by running it through a 1
separator. The department now has
in press a bulletin explaining the
process. It is estimated that general
adoption of the process would save the
agriculturist interest of New York i

What the Chicken Picked Up.
Colonel W. I). Bettis, of Orange, Tox.,
has a vahiablo opal about the size of a

in a scnrfpin. Yesterday he called up
a pet chicken and took it In one hand
while ho allowed it to pick some grains
of corn from his other hand. The chick
en Bwallowed the half dozen grains
that were held out to it, and looking
about for more spied the opal and
struck it, but did not quite dislodgo it
from the setting. As quick as a flash
the bird made another and more suc
cessful grab at the stone, tearing it out
and swallowing it. The chicken was a
great pet in the family, but opals cost
more than chickens. A council of war
was called, and it was decided that the
opal must be found even at the cost of
a life, so about two hours later the
chicken was executed, and the opal was
discovered lodged in its gizzard. —Gal
