Bouf laemnfil Farmer* Operate Thla Department of the Farm—A Pew R/late aa to the Care of Live Stock aa4 Poultry. (Condensed from Farmers* Review stenographic report of Wisconsin Round-up Institute.) C. TAYLOR spoke on how to get good cows. There are three things that enter into success ful dairying: First, the dairy tendency of the cows; sec ond, the fertility of the farm and its ability to provide food for the cows. The third thing to be taken into con sideration is the dairyman. Then it is necessary that there be the ability to apply modern dairy methods. If he be not a dairyman he will never succeel. Q.—Should a dairyman raise his own cows? A.—Yes, sir; if he can, and as much as possible. Q.—Can you Increase the percentage of fat In the milk of cows? A.—That can be done only by good breeding. Charles Thorp spoke on handy things on the dairy farm. He said that every man should have a dairy house on his farm. His dairy house is located near the well, where every dairy nouse should be located for the purpose of having the water handy. The house is 30 by 14, the first twelve feet being used for the dairy room proper. Then there is the cream vat, which is a great saving of labor, and should be a part of every outfit. By its use we have to churn only once a week. It used to be necessary to churn every day or every other day. Now the craam can be held sweet by the means of ic t for a long time. The next six feet of ' ' * n;—;—, more practical fowl for the farmer, or thoao who keep poultry for market. The Butt Wyandotte la In color a rich, deep, clear butt, uniform In ehade throughout, except the tall, which le of a deeper butt or copperlsh-bronze color. The Blacka are of a rich, gloe* ay black, with greenish sheen, except ing breast primaries, secondaries, tall and fluff, which ars pure black. The standard weight of cocks Is 8V4 pounds; hens, 6V4 pounds; cockerels 7% pounds; and pullets, 5% pounds. Developing Layer*. The early hatched pullets are now large enough to permit of Intelligent selection. The culls should be disposed of, and the best reserved tor laying and breeding, says Farm Journal. If the cockerels have become sufficiently ma tured to be troublesome, they should be separated from the pullets and fattened for market. Although the price may be low now, It seldom payB to keep early hatched birds for fall and winter sales. To develop the pullets into good laying hens, an exclusive diet of corn must be avoided. They need bone and muscle, but to get enough of this out of corn they must eat an excessive quantity of It and this will produce too much fat. This caution must be heed ed when the pullets have only a limited run and but little pasture. In these cir cumstances with the corn ration, green Brass, clover, green fodder and some vegetables, with milk and cut bone, or meat meal must be supplied to se cure a healthy development. The farm er’s flock that has the range of the fields, and access to a great variety of food, may thrive on a ration of corn because it is not their exclusive diet We have, however, often seen farmers’ premises where for two or three hundred yards from the buildings the poultry had eaten every green thing except weeds that was not en closed by chicken proof fences. Such runs become polluted and the fowls suffer for the lack of Insects and gteen food. The owner feeds the cuBtom ary corn ration and wonders why his' flock do not thrive and the pullets do not lay. The development of pullets for laying Is very much like that of FEATHERS OF SILVER-LACED WYANDOTTES. the building is used for a storage room. The rest of the building Is used tor an ice room, which every man should have. Mr. Thorp then showed his system of making artificial ice by natural cold. He had on exhibition a model of a long box In which the ice is frozen. The box in which he freezes his ice Is 14 feet long, 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep. The inside of the box is waxed with paraffine wax, which makes it easy to remove the ice when it is frozen. The waxing must be done during a warm day, and the wax should be used boil ing hot, so the wax will stick to the box. In freezing he puts in only three inches of water at a time and lets that freeze before putting in more. He has been using three of these boxes for the last few years. With three of these boxes you can fill an Ice house very quickly. When you loosen the ice from one of these boxes you have a single cake of ice 14x2x1, which is saw ed into cakes the size desired. A feed cutter comes very handy cn a farm, if it be not in such shape that it has to be set up every time it is to be used. Q.—How do you build an Ice housv and how do you pack the ice? A.—I would build it about as I would any common building, but I would make the walls double, with lath and plaster on the inside, and then I would paint the walls. I pack the Ice with dry snow, and the cracks between the cakes I pack with dry snow also. I do not put the ice against the out side wall, but leave a six-inch space which I fill with saw-dust. John W. Decker spoke on chiese making. The cheese industry Is in bet ter shape than it has been before for many years, due largely to the pass age of laws against filled cheese. New York and Wisconsin are the great cheesemaking states. At the South and in some parts of the North dairy ing is not carried on to any great ex tent. So the states that make cheese will have to supply not only them selves but the others. Canada has been supplying the English trade. That is the trade that we are trying to sup ply with our product, and that trade requires a very firm article in the way of cheese. Standard Varieties of Chickens. The Golden Wyandotte Is marked like the Silver, excepting that the col or is golden-bay and black Instead of white and black. The White variety Is, perhaps, the favorite of the Wyan dotte classes, from the fact that it is not so difficult to breed to feather the plumage being pure white through out They are for this reason the heifers for giving milk. Concentrated grain diet overtaxes the digestive or gans and produces fat. Bulky succu lent food, that which contains the bone and muscle making material, is necessary to secure the healthy diges tion and thrifty growth. Wind Power.—Not nearly enough use is made of wind power. Most of the wind mills we see are used wholly tj pump water from wells. Though th s as a steady job probably saves as much labor as any one thing the wind power could be set to doing, there are many other back-aching jobs that are on many farms done by hand power which might quite as well be given over to wind power. Turning grind stones and churning are among these When young we knew some farmer boys who put up a light windmill which turned a lathe in a shop. Here th»y spent many hours making all kinds of wooden articles. All of these boys kept up their love of farm life because their windmill was set to do tasks that on other farms the boys had to ner form by what sailors call “main strength and stupidness, in Holland there can be no use of water power for the land is too level. Nowhere in the world is wind power used to so much advantage or for so great a va riety of purposes.—Ex. Intelligent Dairying.—Dairying re quires constant study and Intelligent thought, it requires years in which to build up a profitable herd of cows and to learn how to feed and care for them an to handle the product. The man who can successfully breed and feed a dairy cow has a mind above the average. He is a student, a keen bright business man, and you will not find this class of men dissatisfied with their business. It is the class of men who are constantly changing from one branch to another—men who do not do much figuring and cannot tell how much their cows earned individually or collectively—who have intense hatred for the Babcock test and for all cream ery men.—Kansas Farmer. Gingering Horses.—Gingering horses at the horse shows, especially the sad dle horse to make them carry their tail high up and to present an unusual amount of animation and appear smart is a disgusting and deceptive jockey trick that should be prohibited by the rules of horse shows in this country as it doubtless will in England, since the Humane society prosecuted and fined a number of the grooms at the London shows. The veterinarians con demned the practice as painful to the animal and a fraud upon the judge “OLD HICKORY'S" INAUGURAL? A Mob Followed 111m from tho Capitol mod Iovodod the Whit* House. Mr. Bishop says of President Jick son's Inauguration In the Century: An eye witness who took a somewhat Jocose view of the day’s events wrote that the most remarkable feature about Jackson as he marched down the aisle of the senate with a Quick, large step, as though he proposed to storm the capitol, was his double pair of spec tacles. He habitually wore two pairs, one for reading and the other for see ing at a distance, the pair not in use being placed across the top of his head. On this occasion, says the eye witness, tho pair on his head reflected the light, and some of the rural admirers of the old hero were firmly persuaded that they were two plates of metal let into his head to close up holes made by British bullets. When be appeared on the portico we are told that the shout which arose rent the air and seemed to shako the very ground. The cere mony ended, the general mountod his horse to proceed to the white house, and the whole crowd followed him. "The president,” says a contempor ary writer, "was literally pursued by a motley concourse of people, riding, running helter skelter, striving who should first gain admittance Into the executive mansion, where It was un derstood that refreshments were to be distributed.” An abundance of refreshments had been provided, including many barrels of orange punch. As the waiters opened the doors to bring out the punch in pails the crowd rushed upon them, upsetting the pails and breaking the glasses. Inside the house the crush was so great that distribution of refreshments was Impossible, ;md tubs of orange punch were set out in the grounds to entice people from the rooms. Jackson himself was so pressed against the wall of the recep tion room that he was In danger of in jury and was protected by a number of men linking arms and forming a bar rier against the crowd. Men with boots heavy with mud stood on the satin cov ered chairs and sofas In their eagerness to get a view of the hero. Judge Story wrote that the crowd contained all sorts of people, from the highest and most polished down to the most vulgar and gross In the nation. "I never saw such a mixture,” he added. “The reign of King Mob seemed triumphant. I was glad to escape from the scene as soon as possible." GATHERING RUBBER. Bow tho Native! or the French Congo Work. The natives of the French Congo •cut rubber” In March and April. The rubber of Congo Is not a tree, but a vine, often three or four Inches In di ameter, and Is found In the Jungle, sayB an exchange. Natives who scorn to be industrious at all other times of the year work hard during the season of rubber gathering. Before the cut ters start out the whole village in which they live indulges In a tremen dous debauch, after which the men strike out boldly Into the jungle, well laden with food, for there are few edibles In The rubber districts. The vines climb up the trees, and as only the upper and smaller portions of the vine produce desirable sap the men have to climb to the height of the first branches, often as much as fifty feet, to do their work. After the pieces are thrown to the ground they are cut again Into lengths of three or four feet and are then held over pots bo that the juice will run out. When a pot Is nearly full the juice Is boiled down for several hours, during which time !lt Is mixed with Juices of several other Tines, which renders the mixture sticky and more easily formed Into balls. When it Is cooled sufficiently to be handled it is shaped by winding it first around a stick. After a while the stick Is pulled out and the ball rewound. In some cases these balls weigh three or four pounds; in some others It takes five or six to make one pound. The best and purest rubber Is ob tained in the shape of bracelets, which are made by the natives catching the juice as it runs out around the wrists, where It Is allowed to dry. When per fectly Bet It comes oft easily and would be transparent if the negroes' arms and hands were not dirty. Our School Books. The great fuss made by the O. A. R. over school histories will accomplish much good if sectional bitterness is avoided. As the matter stands now, the publishers are entirely to blame! There are firms in the school-book pub lishing business who employ a man in each state to write the history of that state, and he is expected to glorify things within its borders. He is gen erally a partisan. Whatever of preju dice he may have against national in stitutions is eliminated, but a great deal of unhistorlc expartelsm is jam med through the completed work.
