War with Spain.
As war with Spain has broken out
the officials seem to think that al'
that will be needed is warships, tor
pedo boats and other instruments of
destruction. But really what will be
needed more than anything else is a
good supply of "5 DROPS" (manufac
tured by the Swanson Rheumatic Cure
Co.. 167 Dearborn street, Chicago 111.),
to knock out the Rheumatism which is
sure to grip our soldiers and sailors in
the miasmatic climate of Cuba and
the surrounding islands, where the
war will be waged. The truth is that
something to heal and cure is precise
ly what i3 needed right now in the
desolated "Queen of the Antilles."
Those 200,009 reconccntrados reported
sick and dying by hundreds need pro
visions, it is true, but they need good
medicines fully as much. If Miss Bar
ton, the good lady who has charge of
the Red Cross relief work, was sup
plied with "5 DROPS" she could, by
their agency, save many a sick Cu
ban. These miraculous "5 DROPS"
conquer many of the wcrEt diseases
that afflict ailing humanity, such as
Rheumatism. Neuralgia, the excruciat
ing Sciatica and the other diseases for
which it is recommended. The War
Department should see that there is
an abundant supply of "5 DROPS" in
the medicine chests.

S. B. Johnson, in American Poultry
Journal, gives the following hints on
turkey raising: ,
1. Never let the young turkeys get
wet The slightest dampness is fatal.
2. Feed nothing the first 21 hoars
after they are hatched.
3. Before patting them In the coop
see that it is perfectly clean and free
from lice, and dnst them three times
a week with Persian Insect powder.
4. Be sure the hen Is free from lice.
Dust her. too.
5. Look out for mites and the large
lice on the heads, necks and vents.
Grease heads, necks and vents with
lard, bnt avoid kerosene.
6. Nine-tenths of tbe young turkeys
die from lice. Remember that,
7. Filth will soon make snort work
of them. Feed on clean surfaces. Give
water In a manner so they can only
wet their beaks.
8. The first week feed a mixture of
one egg. beaten, and sifted ground oats
or rolled oats, mixed with salt to taste,
and cooked as bread, then crumbled for
them, with milk or curds, so they can
drink all they want Feed every twe
hours, early and late.
9. Give a little raw meat every day;
also finely chopped onions, or other
tender green food.
10. After the first week keep wheat
and ground bone in boxes before them
all the time, but feed three times a day
on a mixture of cornmeal, wheat mid
dlings, ground oats, all cooked, and to
which chopped green food is added.
11. Mashed potatoes, cooked turnips,
cold rice and such, will always be In
order.
12. Too much hard boiled eggs will
cause bowel disease.
13. Remove coop to fresh ground of
ten, in order to avoid filth.
14. Ground bone, fine gravel, ground
shells and a dust bath must be pro
vided. 15. Give them liberty on dry, warm
days.
16. They must be carefully attended
to until well feathered.
17. Finely cut fresh bones, from the
butcher's, with the adhering meat Is ex
cellent. 18. A high roost In an open shed,
which faces tbe south, is better than a
closed bouse for grown turkeys.
19. A single union of a male and
female fertilizes all the eggs the hen
will lay for, the season, hence one
gobbler will suffice for twenty or more
bens.
20. Two-year-old gobblers with pul
lets, or a yearling gobbler with two-year-old
hens, is goad mating.
21. Turkeys can be hatched in an in
cubator and raised to the age of three
months in a brooder, but only in lots
of twenty-five, as they require constant
care.
22. Capons make excellent nurses
for turkeys and chicks.
23. It is not advisable to mate
forty-pound gobbler with common
hens, as the result will be Injury. A
medium-size gobbler is better.
24. Young gobblers may be distin
guished from the females by being
heavier, more masculine in appear
ance, more carunculated on the head,
uu ucwc.iBuieui ot me tasseis onj
iU: .u a nine experience mayjqrhlch-every farmer should grow is
required at first
25. Adult turkeys cannot be kept in
confinement, as they will pine away.
By feeding them in tbe barnyard a
little night and morning, they will
not stray off very far, but they cannot
be entirely prevented from roaming,
and the hen prefers to make her own
nest.
26. Gobblers and hens of the same
age may be mated, but It Is better to
have a difference in the age.
27. Pullets may lay small eggs at
first, but the eggs will gradually in
crease to the normal size.
28. Keep these rules and read them
over two or three times.
Milk Testing Assoeiatlona.
Milk testing has. within a few years,
greatly changed the conditions of dai
rying among progressive dairymen and
progressive farmers. The men tbat
have purchased Babcock testers and
regulated their business, as far as pos
sible, by them, have been the gainers.
But the great mass of farmers are still
unreached. Doubtless there are many
that have become interested in this
matter, but because of obstacles have
not yet made a move in the direction
of purchasing a machine or of finding
out the real merit3 of their cows. To
Mr. J. II. Monrad belongs the credit of
beginning the agitation in this coun
try. In Denmark there are associa
tions in active operation for the test
ing of the milk of th'-rds. As we
understand it, a cons.rable number
of fanners combine and form a testing
association. Each member of the as
sociation generally has a fairly good
business in dairying, enough at least
to permit him to keep a good sized herd
cf cows. The association emnlovn a
man to do the testing. He provides
bis own machine and goes from farm
to farm, staying not more than one
day in one place, but repeating his vis
its as often as necessary. He is usually
a student from some dairy school or
agricultural college, and can therefore
afford to do this work at a nominal
salary. The work of the tester on
each farm is to thoroughly test the
milk of each cow. As this is repeated
from time to time the farmer comes to
certainly know the exact value of hi3
animals and gives him the information
necessary to enable him to intelligent
ly sell off bis poor animals and replace
them with better ones.
Such associations will certainly
spring up In thij country, for their
value is obvious. Though any farmer
can learn bow to accurately test his
cows, yet the work requires care and
some experience to do it successfully.
Tbe handling of acids also is a thing
that requires a careful band, and can
be much easier done by an experienced
student accustomed to handle chemi
cals tnan by a novice who knows com
paratively nothing about them. The
testing of milk Is really a science by
itself and is becoming more so every
year. There are new factors being dis
covered all the time, and these need to
be taken into consideration by tbe ex
perimenter. While It is true that any
intelligent man can test milk, it is
also true that an inexperienced man
can not test milk as accurately as the
man that has had a long line of ex
perience. We wonld be pleased to
have some of the readers of the Farm
ers' Review take up the matter and
discuss it in our columns.
Aacat the Chicago Milk Trade
At the annual aceting of the Milk
Shippers' Union, held in Chicago last
week, charges were made tbat retail
dealers are tampering with the city
milk supply on at wholesale scale. The
report of Secretary Hill stated that
more than 400 civil and criminal suits
had been started by the organization
and nearly 1100,000 in overdue bills had
been saved to the members. On the
subject of careless milk dealers the re
port stated:
"We would call the attention of the
city authorities to the filthy places In
which some milk Is stored by careless
dealers. Milk takes in odors as read
ily as a sponge absorbs water, and
barns where horses are kept are not
proper places for keeping cows. Soap
and hot water are total strangers to
many cans, bottles and other utensils
for handling milk. There is no law
for finding out the methods of produc
ing milk in the country, but if the
union, would guarantee pure, clean
milk it would be doing a noble and hu
mane work."
Several shippers said that If there
was no other way of compelling deal
ers to act honestly the union would
take up matter of establishing large
wholesale depots In different parts of
the city for the distribution of pure
milk. Secretary Hill said that his in
vestigations had led him to believe 90
per cent of the dealers made a practice
of skimming their milk before deliver
ing it to customers.
Tho milk dealers through the trus
tees of their association protest
against the statements made by the
Millc Shippers' Union. They deny
they are tampering with the milk and
declare that it has been determined by
the tests made by the city authorities
of samples taken at depot platforms;
that frequently the shippers themselves
were the ones at fault, the samples be
ing found below grade before they
reached the dealers. The dealers
further say that there should be a
more careful and thorough Inspection
of the dairies of the farmers who ship
milk to Chicago.
The Time for Lite.
Lice and such parasites multiply
greatly in the spring, and this is the
time of year to make war on them.
Later on, when the air i3 warmer, they
will have more 'vigor, more liveliness
and will be able to get around with
such rapidity that it will be more 'dif
ficult to destroy them. Overhaul the
hen-house and overhaul the hens.
When the young chicks come grease
their wings as soon as they can stand
it. In this way much loss and worry
may be saved. The dust bath must be
kept ready for the use of hens at all
times. A good brand of road dust is
one of the best insect powders and has

Heirloom Cheese. Heirloom cheeses
are specialties of Switzerland, and mark
one of the most peculiar of bridal or
marriage customs known. It prevailed
for centuries in what is called the
cheese regions of Switzerland. In that
portion of the Alpine country, when
a pair join in wedlock, it is the fashion
for their intimate friends to buy a
"regular cheese" for the young couple.
This cheese is presented to the newly
wedded people on the evening of the
wedding day, and is ever after retained
by them and used as a family register.
On these heirloom cheeses the whole
history of the family is carved; such
as births, marriages, deaths and other
incidents which it may be desired to
make matters of record. Some of these
old Swiss family cheese records are
said to date back to the middle of the
seventeenth century. Dairy World.
Kohlrabi.-One of the vegetables
kohlrabi, which in growth and flavor
Is Intermediate between the turnip or
rutabaga and a cabbage. It is hard like
the turnip, but, like the cabbage, all its
valuable part is above ground. It is a
vegetables that comes to us from Ger
many, where it is grown to large size,
and is mainly used for cattle feeding.
But to be fit for table use it should be
sown late in the spring, when the
ground is warm, and the young growth
will be very rapid. Then It will be
sweet and tender, and wholly different
from the coarse kohlrabi sown early,
and which has taken the whole season
to grow in. All roots for table use are
best gathered while young, and after
growing rapidly. Most of the roots
grow cither tough or dry, or both, late
in spring. Ex.
Dust Baths in Summer. We provide
for the hens in the winter in the way
of dust baths, and let us not neglect
to do the same in tbe summer. It is
true tbat the hens can often find
some piece of dirt that they can dig up
and make a dust bath of, but this is not
so effective in destroying the lice as a
regular box of dust. That the hens do
not get enough dust In the summer i3
proved by the fact that so rniny of them
are afflicted with lice during that pe
riod of the year. Could they have frre
access to road dtibt In large quantities
they would be freer from vermin. The
dust may at that time of year be se
cured with such case that it is a pity if
the hens cannot have all they can make
use of.
Avoid Raising Plugs. Never in the
history of horse raising was there a
wider difference between plugs and
good horses. Farmers must give as
much thought to the selection of both
dam and sire as they do in the breed
ing of cattle and other live stock. A
coach horse that wiil bring S200 is as
easily raised as a plug that will bring
but $45. Such a horse is useful en the
farm until the time when he is ready
for the market, and can be used both to
the plow and on the wagon. In case
he lacks the style or action necessary
to bring a fancy price, he is still a
general purpose horse and will bring
a price that will be profitable to the
raiser. A. B. Clarke, St. Louis Dealer.
Profits from the Cow. There are
four systems of getting money from
cov.3 in vogue in Colorado, says the
Field and Farm. One is to let the calf
suck and forfeit S30 worth of milk to
produce a S10 calf. Another is the
lazy man's way, which brings $12
worth of gathered cream and a $10
calf. The third is the private dairy
which produces S3 worth of store but
ter in trade and a $10 calf, and the
fourth that of hauiing the milk to a
separator station, getting the heated
skim-milk back in good condition,
raising a $10 calf and receiving a $30
check for the butter fat.
Every farmer knows what it Is to
have to repair pasture fences In the
spring, when those fences are made in
the old-fashioned way and of old-.ash-ioned
material. This is a good time to
suggest that the sooner the farmer puts
on bis farm some kind of a wire frnce
the better.
The cattle raiser who does not read
an agricultural paper is placed at a
great disadvantage. He is unable to
foresee the great movements of stock
and prices. Only when the conditions
are upon him can he begin to arm him
self against them.

Reaew Old Meadow. '
The grass plant is one of the great
est sources of wealth on the farm, and
j one also that has received as yet com
paratively little attention. In the
states best adapted to grazing grass is
most appreciated. As an adjunct of
diversified farming it must receive a
full share of consideration. If we are to
expect results of a permanent natvre.
Anyone that hasridden on thp train
through any large strip of country in
tho West will be painfully impressed
with the little attention that is given, to
this most important crop. If such a
journey be taken just before time for
mowing the grass the object lesson
will be complete. "Last summer, n a
trip through two western states, the
attention of the writer was drawn to
these facts. The crops of grass as
they existed just at mowing time, were
exceedingly uneven. Here would be a
field of timothy standing erect and
thick, though the sections visited had
been injured by a deficient rainfall.
The next field would be one of the
same kind of grass, but the grass in
it would be hardly one-half as high as
that in the first field, and, moreover,
very thin on the ground., Even the
stalks of grass were small and wiry,
instead of being large and juicy. There
were few of the first kind of fields and
many of the latter kind. It is safe to
say that the grass on these latter fields
would be far less valuable than the
grass on the first field, for the reason
of being less digestible. When this
loss is added to the loss due to lessened
quantity, we can biit see tnat where
the first kind of grass crops might be
raised at a good profit the latter would
be at a positive loss.
Tho remedies for these conditions
are not far to seek. Land that has re
ceived proper treatment in the rotation
can generally be relied on to give a
fair crop of grass when the time comes
to put it into grass, even though little
or no manure be applied. Tho culture
of the soil alone will have accomplish
ed much, and if the roots of a clover
crop have been turned under, the suc
ceeding crops of grass for several
years will be far better than if the
ground had been left untouched. We
believe that the idea of permanent
meadows Is a mistake, unless the said
meadows continue to bear large crops.
We have known meadows that within
our memory had never been turned up,
although every year the grass crop on
said meadows was very light. The
plants were wiry and far apart, each
grass root requiring a considerable ex
tent of feeding ground. This, too. was
on good soil. It is evident that we
cannot profitably grow grass after
grass for long years. There is too
much money in the grass crop to per
mit of our ignoring it. If properly
treated most of our meadows might
about double their yields.
The grass crop Is one that requires
little labor. It has many advantages
that do not obtain with other crops.
There is no danger of winter-killing,
for grass is a most hardy perennial.
As a general thing there is no danger
from insects. Occasionally we h.ve
a raid by grasshoppers, but this is too
seldom to make it a cause of complaint.
Drouth does not affect the grass crop
as much as many other crops, for the
reason that it gets much of its growth
in the spring, when we usually get
rain. Its giowth is completed before
the mid-summer drouth, when in most
sections it has long since been gathered
into the barn. Agricultural science
will yet have a great deal to say about
the grass crop.
ICarly Spriii Flowpr.i:
A correspondent of Vicks Magazine
explains how branches of flowery
shrubs and fruit trees, such as lilac
and cherry and peach, plum and apple,
can be made to bloom if cut and
brought into the house in February or
March and placed in a vase of water:
Cut good sized branches from the top
of the bush, so as to be sure to get
the ones that will blossom. Put them
in vases or fruit jars with plenty of
water in a warm, sunny window; a
little charcoal or ammonia in the water
will keep it sweet, as well as be a fer
tilizer for the plant. In two or three
days tho leaf buds will open, when the
buds will show. In an incredibly short
time the beautiful flowers will appear.
They will not be full sized blossoms
and the clusters are not very large, but
they are lilacs just the same and their
fragrance will Gil the room. Any of
the varieties do well, but the Persian
is perhaps the best sort for the purpose.
Unless they have plenty of sun the col
or of the flowers is very pale, while
if they are left away from the window
they arc very likely to be pure white.
Branches of apple, pear, peach, plum
and cherry can be treated in the same
way and prove a great addition to tho
window garden.
Warmth of Drained Soil. It used al
ways to be thought that sandy soil was
bes't for gardens, because it warmed up
so early in the spring. But this Is main
ly due to the fact that the sandy land
is naturally underdraincd, as water eas
ily and quickly sinks through it. But
this very fact insures that the sandy
soil shall never be very retentive of
vegetable matter. So soon as it is ma
nured, either wit l stable manure or
green vegetable matter, the air with
which sandy soil is filled from early
spring until fall burns out all the car
boa and leaves pure sand. A naturally
letentive soil, which means some clay
in its composition, retains vegetable
mould much better and makes a really
better garden ground than does the
sand. But if it is wet in spring, it must
Le underdrained. Then such soil freezes
deeply, which expands It, causing it to
hold more air and warm up more
quickly. Such drained soils will stand
drought much better than sandy soils,
and drought in lata summrr Is the
gardener's most dreaded evil. As un
rterdraining becomes more general, the
"heavy drained soil will increase in fa
vor for gardens. Am. Cultivator.
To Make Caramel Custard. For six
ordinary-sized custards melt six table
spoonfuls of sugar, stirring carefully
to prevent burning. Pour into the bot
tom of the custard cups, give each a
sort of whirl that the sugar may also
line the sides. Beat three eggs with
out separating; add three tablespoon
fuls of sugar, half a teaspoonful of van
illa, and a cup and a half of milk. Stir
until the sugar is dissolved; pour the
mixture into the cups on top of the
caramel. Stand in a baking-pan half
filled with water, and cook in the oven
fifteen minutes. Turn while hot from
the cups. Serve cold.
Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel, the in
ventor of dynamite, who recently died,
has been honored by a beautiful monu
ment to his memory at Hamburg,
erected by his friend. Max A. Philipp.
It represents the final triumph of the
humane, enligntcmng idea of peace
over the rough and bestial impulses of
tbe world. It was Nobel's greatest sor- j
row that the dynamite which he in-
vented and devoted to works of utility ,
was so commoniy applied 10 me crue' 1
purposes of war and anarchy.
