Bow 8n«eea*fol Formal* Op*rot* This Department of the Form—A Few Hints oa to the Cor* of Ur* Stock and Poultry. A Belgian) Co-op*rotlT* Creamery. T may be of inter est to note the rules enforced In a Belgium co-opera 11 v e ' creamery, which are as fol lows: 1. Each p&tron declares twice a year, January and, *■ July, how many cows he owns. 2. The management has the right at any time, without notice, to send a veterinarian, an agricultural engineer or a delegate, to inspect the health of cows, the sanitary condition of stable, utensils, etc.; also to have the cow* milked in their presence and take samples for analysis. 3. Th^ milk must be delivered as it comes from the cows at least once a day. 4. Milk showing less than 2.4 by the Gerber or Babcock test may be re fused. 5. Milk from sick sows, milk from cows having calved within eight days, from cows due to calve within three weeks, milk with any abnormal odor or taste, is not received. It is also pro hibited to deliver milk from other pa trons as if coming from the deliverer’3 farm. C. If any patron desires to Increase or decrease his delivery by 100 pounds per day, he must give notice two weeks before. 7. The greatest cleanliness must be observed In milking, as follows: “The cows’ bags must be washed, the first the point*!. The primaries are very darh brown or blackish-brown In color; the Inner, web of the secondaries la a blackish-brown and the outer web is a blackish-brown penciled with a light er brown. The coverts are similar In color and penciling to the plumage ot the breast Tail Is small, short, and carried almost horizontally. The tall is partly concealed by the cushion. In color the tall is black except the two main tall feathers, which are penciled. The tail coverts are penciled same as breast and body. Thighs are large and well covered with soft feathers; the feathers on the lower part curve in ward around the hock and hide the Joint on the outside. The feathering of the thighs is of the same shade and color as that of the body. Shanks arc short and yellow and heavily covered with feathers of same color as thighs. The toes are well spread and yellow In color, the outer and middle toes be ing feathered throughout their entire length. Black Cochins are much more easily raised than are either of the above named varieties. Being of one color, tne care bestowed in breeding particol ored or penciled birds is not necessary, and the time may be spent in further ing their general utility in egg produc tion. A one colored bird is the more practical bird for the farmer and mar ket poulterer. The Black Cochin is of a rich glossy black plumage through out. The White Cochin is pure white in plumage. The standard weight ol Buff, Partridge and White Cochin cocks Is 11 pounds; hens, 8% pounds, cockerels, 9 pounds; and pullets, 7 pounds. Black Cochins are of the same weight, excepting cocks, which should weigh 10V4 pounds. Tlie Prollt In Poultry. The farmer who despises the hens is making a big mistake, no matter if he is a big grain farmer or big stockman. Writes D. A. N. in Colman's Rural World. Appearances are deceitful, and the last few years, yes, for many years TRIO OF BLACK COCHINS. squirt of milk thrown away, all uten sils kept perfectly clean, milk removed from the stable Immediately after milking, strained, and night and morn ing’s milk not mixed.” 8. The receiving hours are fixed by the management, but two days’ notice given of any change. 9. The management determines the manner of taking samples. 10. Patrons have a right to be pres ent during the testing. 11. Payments are made twice a month. 12. Until notice is given, the pa trons must take back the skim milk. 13. All milk deliveries must follow instructions of the dairymen. 14. It is not allowed the patrons to use any of the utensils in the creamery unless necessary, and the user is re sponsible for damages. 15. The dogs used in hauling the milk must be provided with muzzles, and owners are responsible for any re sults for not doing so. The breaking of any of the ruleB Is followed by a fine of 20 cents; it re peated within six months, 40 cents; and the third time expulsion may fol low. Standard Varieties of Chickens. The plumage of back and cushion is a reddish-brown in color. Each feather is the breeder of fowls has made Indefi nitely more money for the amount ol money, care and thought he has put Into his business than some of his more pretentious brethren. I do not see that the prices of fresh eggs and market poultry have fallen much foi the average of the year, notwithstand ing the low price of corn and oats. Western farmers had better convert more of this grain into poultry prod ucts. Manufacture the raw grain intc the finished poultry commodities. Man ufactured articles naturally bring larger prices than the cruder products The great point in producing poultry products for critical city markets is tc raise the best. A poor article always disappoints both buyer and seller Away with dunghill fowls. Breed the variety of poultry that be3t fits the purpose you have in view. Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes are supert breeds to cultivate for market poultry Leghorns are fine layers, but of smal. value for cooking in a pot. The Amer ican Wyandotte of a healthy strain doubtless comes as near a good layei and fino market bird as any single breed. If a man is to make a special ty of giving the market fresh eggs, let him be sure tho eggs are fresh, anu that they reach the market fresh. II he sells dressed fowls, let him be sure they are fat, plump and well dressed In this way trade will grow on one's hands. Hard-Worked Horses.—The nature of farming is such that at times horses must be worked very hard In order to do the work at the proper time, aud at other times, the farm horse has com paratively little to do. This can not be helped. When the horses work hard owners aim to feed all they will eat without waste, and then they can nol keep them In flesh. Should they feed them as heavy when Idle, it would wel nigh ruin them. The farmer’s Judg ment is needed here as much as In any part of the farm management. It is all right to feed a horse the same ra tion the year through if he has steady and uniform work, but when he works hard for several months and then does but little for a time, this can not be done, and it requires Judgment in In creasing and diminishing the ration to suit the work.—Ex. Feed of Sows.—Too many men allow their brood sows and stock hogs to run together and partake of the same ra tion. Corn alone Is the food of thous ands of 3tock hogs, but such a diet for brood sows will knock the profits ofl the pig crop much oftener than many suppose.—Ex. If you would be successful, undertake no more than you can carry out. 1 FEATHERS OF PARTRIDGE COCH IN HEN. penciled with a darker brown; the outlines of the penciling conform to the shape of the feather. The breast is one of the most important points of a jjpK)d hen. and should be broad and massive. The plumage is of the same reddish-brown color as the back. The penciling on the breast is perhaps a little more distinct and open than on the back; the outlines of the penciling should be sharp and conform to the shape of the feather. The body is broad and deep behind and same plum age as the breast. The fluff is very abundant, covering the posterior por tion of the bird and standing out about the thighs. Wings are small and the primaries fold closely under the sec ondaries; the bows are covered by the breast feathers and the fluff conceals Glrinc Fair Warning.

If more women realized that strain ing the eyes produces wrinkles, more would exercise a proper care of these valuable members. Reading by a dim or failing light, coming suddenly from a dark room to a light one, or vice versa, overworking the eyes in any .way, and last, but by no means least, wearing dotted and cross-barred veils— .these and more taxing of the eyesight are of valuable assistance in the wrinkle-making process.
