Some Guinea Hens.
Guinea fowls have been raised on
American farms for. a long time,, but
they probably have never received
more attention than they are, to-day
receiving. Guinea fowls are easily
and cheaply raised when they are
given their liberty, as they are great
foragers and prefer to hunt their own
support if possible. The females are
quite prolific layers, and It is reason
able to suppose that at some time
their eggs will sell well in the market.
Their smallness and brown color mili
tate somewhat against them at the
i present time, as the buyers do not
j know the eggs well enough to demand
them. It may well be believed how
ever that if they were so common
that they were constantly obtainable
in the market they would soon be in
demand. Where there is a flock of
these fowls the housewives soon learn
to use their eggs for High quality
' 'cooking. .
The hens try to hide their nests,
which are simply little holes in the
ground. In these they lay numerous
eggs. The birds however have the
habit of the common hen in publish
ing abroad the fact that they have
laid an egg as soon as that act is per
formed. The result is that it is not
at all difficult for the owner of the
bird to find out her laying place.
, Every poultry fancier should have
a copy of the American Standard of
Perfection and learn to Judge his own
birds. Then he is little likely to send
to the show any birds that will score
very low.
Opportunities for Poultry Raisers.
To the farmers living within twenty
or thirty miles of the large cities
there are always opportunities that
should prove very profitable. Great
hotels are always ready to take con
signments of poultry and eggs pro?
vided the consignments can be made
every day the year round. One Chi
cago hotel was for some time trying
to find a farmer that would furnish
25 dozen eggs a day at 25 cents a
dozen. The contract was too big for
any one of them to take. There were
farmers that would agree to furnish
25 dozen of eggs a day through the
laying season, but they could not
promise to keep it up throughout the
year. The knowledge of how to pro
duce winter eggs is so lacking gen
erally that few have the temerity to
base a contract on the ability to do so.
Few American farms have the equip
ment necessary to produce 300 eggs
a day, even if the laying habits of the
fowls are ever so well apportioned as
to season. It will pay our farmers to
so equip their farms that they can
fake advantage of the very profitable
opportunities that so frequently pass
by. In the old mythology Father
Time has a lock of hair on the front
part of his head to signify that who
ever would make the most of time
must be able to seize the opportunity
as it comes and not as it goes. -The
farmer that is ready for the opportun
ity before it comes will generally find
the opportunity coming his way.
Cotton Seed Meal and Pigs.
It is well for swine raisers to go
slow in the feeding of cotton seed
meal to swine. .There is much in Ue
bulletins about it from time to time,
and new men are trying to find out
L.ow to feed it to the pigs and not kill
them. The experiment stations can
better afford to lose pigs than can the
farmers. It Is safe also not to take
stock in the assertion of the wise fel
low who can tell you Just how to feed
It successfully He thinks he knows;
but it is Just as well to let him try it
on his own pigs. When the stations
have found sure a way of feeding it
successfully will be time enough for
the common farmer to risk killing his
swine.

Making Market Butter.
The churn should always be scalded
and cooled before being used. If this
is- neglected once the churn is dam
aged beyond repair. The temperature
used in churning should be such that
the butter comes in about three quar
ters of an hour. The churn should be
stopped while the granules are still
quite small. A few small particles of
butter may be lost in the buttermilk,
but with fine butter granules it is pos
sible to hold 2 per cent more mois
ture in the butter in a very finely di
vided condition, giving the butter a
much drier appearance. In washing
butter a quantity of water equal to
the buttermilk removed should be
used. The temperature of the wash
water should be such as will leave
the butter neither too hard nor too
soft for working. Butter should be
salted in the cnurn whether the com
bined churn is in use or not. An
easily soluble salt, not too fine grained
should be used. It should be so ap
plied as to be thoroughly mixed
through the butter with the minimum
amount of working. From three-quarters
to one and one-half ounces will
be required according to the condi
tion and amount of moisture in butter
and the demands of the market. Aft
er being salted and worked lightly the
butter should stand until the salt has
dissolved when it should be reworked
and packed or printed.
Packages should be prepared by
steaming and soaking in brine con
taining 1 per cent of formalin. Lin
ers should be of the best quality of
parchment and should be soaked in
the same solution. The finish should
be neat and the packages clean. J.

The Debt-Making Cow.
There are a good many cows in
the country that are making debts for
their owners rather than clearing
them of debts. The worst thing about
it is that these debt makers are not
known to be debt makers. They are
tolerated and accepted on their face.
A man with a good large herd of debt
makers always finds a lot of -work to
do, but somehow or other his family
are always lacking the things they
think they should have. The only
ood thing to be said about these
cows is that their milk swells the
volume of the milk that goes to the
cities and so keeps down the price the
poor people have to pay. So far as
the farmer is concerned the quicker
these debt makers are sent to the beef
barrel or the butcher's block the bet
ter. Butter Molds.
The spores that develop into butter
molds are said to be everywhere pres
ent and to require only the proper
conditions to send forth the plant life
that we know as mold. The re
quired conditions are warmth and
dampness. These conditions happen
in many creameries and butter rooms
in summer, when the ice has run low
or disappeared altogether. The ship
pers of butter say that too frequently
the cars that carry the butter are al
lowed to run out of Ice and become
both damp and warm with the result
that the butter arrives at its destina
tion in a moldy condition.
A New Milk Preservative.
The French are experimenting in
the making of a milk preserver from
which they hope great things. It is
to have antiseptic properties and yet
be harmless to the human stomach.
If they are able to bring this about
great things may result. They call
the substance oxygenated water. It
kills the microbes in the milk, but
by the end of six hours it has itself
disappeared, having changed into
oxygen and water.

There has been a great industrial change in the last century. New
conditions have arisen, and these demand a new system. Machines are
now used instead of hand tools; greit mills have taken the places of
small shops, and armies of workers, co-operatively employed, are required
to operate tnein.
These machines and mills are
fev.- capitalists and are operated purely for their profit.
All the wealth the armies of
is taken from them by the capitalists, the owners of the mills and ma
chines, who are also their industrial masters. These owners and masters
can close down their mills and exclude their workers from them at will.
The workers are wholly dependent upon them and at their mercy.
In modern society the capitalist
production, without which the worker cannot work, and therefore cannot
live, has the power of life and death over his workingmen, their wives and
children. ' "
It is- essentially a barbarous and

These hideous extremes, these

Socialist party, in the name of the working class, its most cruelly outraged
victims, has declared war to the deatu. ,
i When it is understood that the Socialist party is the parts' " of the
working class, its mission, in the presence of existing conditions, seems so
evident that it almost suggests itself.
What workingman, unless his brain has been extinguished in wage
slavery, can fail to understand that the Socialist party is his party as
against the Republican party, the Democratic party, the Populist party
and all other capitalist parties, because it is the only party that stands
for his class, the only party whose mission is to organize his class for
the overtnrow of wage slavery-and the emancipation of workers from cap
italist tyranny and misrule.

Statistics on Coal Supply.
According to Statistician Edward
W. Parker of tne United States geo
logical survey it will be from 180 to
230 years before anthracite coal will
be exhausted in this country, although
were the present rate of exhaustion
and waste to continue the end would
come in eighty years. But while he
anticipates some increase in this di
rection in the next decade, after that
he looks for a marked tendency to
economize the supply. He notes the
interesting fact that, although the
production of anthracite has not kept
pace with that of bituminous coal, it
has increased faster than the popula
tion in the region where most of it is
consumed. In 1880, he says, 1.82 tons
of anthracite were produced for each
inhabitant of the anthracite using por
tion of the country. This was in
creased to 2.47 tons per capita by 1890,
and in 1900 to 2.53 tons. Using the
entire population of the United States
as the basis the per capita production
of bituminous coal was .85 ton in 1880,
1.76 tons in 1890 and 2.76 tons in 1900.
In 1860 two-thirds of the coal produced
in the United States was Pennsyl
vania anthracite, while in 1870 an
thracite constituted one-half the total,
and for the last five years it has
amounted to about one-flf th.

are necessary. A Canadian has de
vised the very useful apparatus shown
in the illustration. It is designed tor
the purpose of hoisting and putting
through windows in the upper stories
of buildings large, heavy and bulky
articles. The apparatus is so con
structed that it can be set to com
municate with the first, second and
third stories of buildings and when
the work is done it can be quickly
taken down and compactly put to
gether for transportation. One of the
chief advantages is that large, articles
can be put through the windows, as
the parts take up little space. Pianos
could be noistea witn little or no
strain to the instrument, with no dan
ger of scratches. It would also do
away with the trouble of getting up
narrow stairways and passing around
sharp corners. The article to be
hoisted is placed on the carrier, which
is raised by the usual rope' run over
pulleys and attached to a roller turn
ed by a crank. Riggers could use this
apparatus to advantage, as could
also piano movers or movers of safes.
