Poultry raising has at last began to
be recognised by tanners as being a
prominent feature of agriculture. The
increasing demand for all products of
the poultry fsrra, even in the bad
times, has demonstrated that the hen
is mighty as a commercial factor. The
establishments that are manufacturing
Incubators are finding their trade ever
expanding. The demand for early
chicks among the hotels and restau
rants is increasing- fast, for tho very
reason that our cities are increasing
fast in population.
It is believed that many chicks in
Incubators die by reason of bad air In
the egg chambers. It is necessary that
this air be pure and be' frequently
changed, or, what Is better, made to
circulate through the Incubator. It Is
said that the embryonic chick is oxy
genated; that is, has a supply of oxy
gen furnished, through pores In the
shell and from the air outside of the
cell; that there Is a constant ex
change going on of oxygen from the
cubators are placed in damp, close cel
lars, where there Is no circulation of
sly, and If the egg boxes are also closed
so that there can be no egress and in
gress of even the impure air of the
cellar, what can we expect as to re
sults of the hatch?
Without doubt many chicks that are
air and of carbon from the egg. If In
born weakly are so born on account
of certain conditions surrounding the
hatching period. Without doubt the
trouble is with lack of vitality in the
CSS. but It may be as often due en
tirely to want of forethought on the
part of the person controlling the
hatching operations. Many a chick Is
ushered Into life with poorly oxyge
nated blood, and feels and shows the
weakness for long months. In many
cases the egg has become smeared
with grease or with broken eggs that
hermetically seal the pores of the
egg and prevent the free operation of
the laws of nature. In the face of such
obstacles the chicks come out of the
shells and for a time seem like other
and healthier chicks. But sooner or
later their digestion breaks down and
they fall over and die. The poultry
man must expect to have many losses
from such causes, and will not be able
to avoid them by any means.
Heat is absolutely necessary for the
development as well as the hatching
of the chick. The hen Is a nicely ar
ranged machine that Is automatically
regulated, so far as heat Is concerned.
She gives her chicks always the same
amount of beat. To leave chicks where
they will be cold for hours at a time
frequently results In death. At a show
last fall a certain Incubator company
gave the writer a number of new-born
chicks to take home and raise by hand.
Having no proper apparatus for regu
lating the heat. It was found Impossible
to supply a steady heat of the degrees
required, and both chicks succumbed
in a short time. Chicks raised under
the hen in the spring while the weather
Is still cool should be carefully pro
tected. 8oar Milk for Foaltry.
To The Farmers Review: A recent
number of The Farmers Review con
tained an article on feeding sour milk
to poultry as though It was something
new. The question was asked "if any
of its readers are feeding milk and
curds, and the results." As to its ef
fect on fowls confined In yards and
houses I cannot answer, as I have
never tried It My fowls have the run
of an eighty-acre farm, with its variety
of food. For more than a score of
years they have bad all the "clabber"
and curds I could give them, with only
beneficial results. There Is nothing
young turkeys like better or makes
them grow like It. The first two weeks
I feed young turkeys stale bread, soft
ened In sweet milk. After that my
sour milk Is put on the stove until the
curd forms, when the whey is strained
off and coarse corn meal is stirred In
and ecalded. When cold it Is fed to
the turkeys three or four times a day.
They will soon pick the curds before
eating the mesh. I have never seen
any evil effect from It, though some
very wise contributors to the farm pa
pers say sour milk should never be fed
to any animal, not even to hogs. Won
der if he ever eats cottage cheese?
AUNT HARRIET.
(The query asked was not as to feed
ing sour milk, but on the feeding of
solid curd, made bard for that purpose.
The object of the .question was to find
out if the constant feeding of such a
eheesey food would not have some
harmful effect on the digestion of the
fowls. Ed. F. R.)
The Antl Color Law Abroad.
In connection with the anti-color
oleomargarine law which has just been
pronounced unconstitutional, it Is In
teresting to note that In the February
Issue of U.-sS. consular reports, atten
tion of exporters la the United States
is called to the anil-color oleomargar
ine law now In force In the Island of
Martinique. In order to save ship
pers serious trouble. Consul Tucker
draws attention to the following points
of the law:
1. Oleomargarine will be accepted If
It does not contain more than 10 per
cent of butter. 2. Oleomargarine must
be white or nearly so that is. It must
sot contain a single particle of foreign
coloring matter, such as saffron, etc.
S. The cases must show on their four
sides te 'plain letters the word "oleo
margarine;" the cans must bear the
word, stenciled or printed on their sur
face, and have a pasted label showing
the exact analysis of the oleomargarine
therein contained. The above require
ments, says Mr. Tucker, must be com
piled with, as the law Is strictly en
forced. Shipments have been received
which the exporters declared were pure
but which were rejected on account of
the yellowish color. The consul also
emphasises the fact that the invoices
should give the composition of the
goods, and that the word margarine,
or oleomargarine, should be used in
all bills, receipts, etc., connected with
the importation of the article. He
quotes the following provisions of the
law: "In the retail trade, the margar-.
lae or oleomargarine must be delivered
in the form of a cube and with a stamp
on one. of Its faces, either margarine
or oleomargarine, and wrapped in an
envelope bearing in conspicuous and
indelible characters the same designa
tion as well as the name and address
of the dealer."
If the provisions of this law are en
forced, the people of Martinique enjoy
a protection against fraudulent Imita
tions of batter that the United States
government falls to guarantee to its
ctttseas. Every week thousands of
aetmds of oleomargarine colored In Im

Ne manufacturer of
goods caa hope long to cceei If the
machinery need la his btMinesa Is of
low capacity. He mast hare machlaes
that will tarn oat work as fast as his
competitors. The same Is the ease with
the dalrymaa. A cow Is more or ess
of a machine. The men that have the
best cows will continue to make money
and the ones that hare, the poor cows
will continue to lose it There Is no
science that makes it possible for a
dalrymaa to make money with poor
cows.
Cows with sores oa their teats or
adders should never be allowed to con
tribute milk for use by humans. It to
better to dry them ap or to dispose of
them altogether. It takes honesty and
principle to do this. It Is always a
great temptation to allow sack ani
mals to continue to contribute te the
supply of milk. If the sow is to be
kept la milk the milk should be at
least thrown away durlag the whole
period of trouble with the sores. Milk,
being a great medium of contagion,
may carry some of the worst diseases
to the human family.
Little by little we are awaking to
the fact that 'many of the diseases
common to our cows are also common
to the human family. Whether the
cow got the disease from man or man
from the cow will never be known.
We first found that small-pox was
common to our cows under the mild
form of cow-pox. Ia oar own day we
have found that consumption in hu
mans Is in cows what we call tubercu
losis. Since these two diseases' are
common to both, may It not be that we
will find the list of such diseases con
stantly expanding. These facts should
be a warning to all having charge of
cattle, to use the greatest of precau
tions, both to prevent diseases being
transmitted from the cattle to the hu
man family, and also from the human
family to the cattle. For this reason a
person having consumption should not
be allowed to have the charge of or to
work around cattle. The consumptive
spits on the barn floor and the spittle
dries up, the animal breathing It a few
hours later. We fear that this side
of the question is lost sight of. while
we guard-against human infection
from the cows.
"KeaoTated" Batter.

agriculture has agreed upon the fol-J
lowing decisions relative to the manu
facture and sale of "renovated but

commonly known as "Boiled" or
"Process" butter, the same before be

The Michigan station has given spe
cial attention to the growing of nut
trees. It finds very few of any com
mercial value. Several kinds can be
grown, however. In a small way. as an
Interesting study, or as an amuse
ment The soft-shell almond has
proved hardy there. Of It they say that
while It has borne nuts of pleasant
flavor, they are not equal to those of
fered In market. The Paragon la the
only chestnut that has fruited, and Its
tendency Is to overbear. Filberts and
hazelnuts are of course hardy, but have
not yet fruited. Pecans grown from
Iowa seed are hardy, but the fruit is
of little value. The soft-shell trees,
grown from Texas seed, will not stand
the winter without protection. Japan
walnuts, somewhat like our butter
nuts, do well; and the Persian, or Eng
lish, walnut endures the climate, but
has made slow growth.
Varieties of Flavor. Our Yankee
and Canadian butter friends are wak

flavor point where all the improvement
Is to be made. Of course and It Is
Just here where all the trouble Is
founded the flavor; flavor of milk, of

surroundings. And they suggest all

about the desired Improvement Let

may at first blush seem rather difficult
bat It Is not Impossible, and when
you have done It the reward will be
great. Of course It may be little more
dMDcult for our American friends than
for us; we have the graders, who
would keep a continual check on the

make it more aaderstandlngly. aad
hence more uniformly. When I had to

The question of fat for show ani
mals Is one that la receiving a good
deal of attention at this time. Some
men say that show cattle should not

only by the fat on the animals can it
be showa: thst they have the tendency
inherent to lay on fat and flesh.

them to have their cattle dehorned. In
some eases there Is a sentiment about
inflicting pain on the animals, though
It 'is probable that the pain of dehorn
ing Is not greater than the pain to the
human being te having a tooth drawn.
However this may be, we need only
horns and the pain to the animals of
dehorning. Caustic potash, if applied
at the proper time, does the work to
perfection with little or no pain. The
little knob of horn starts at first from
a semi-soft material which may be
called the matrix, or mother of the
take the horns In time to avoid both the
horn. Apply potash to this and it be
comes Impotent The process Is ar
rested forever and the calf grows up
cornless. Such animals are easier han
dled, and even it they attack one, can
.do Infinitely less damage than can ani
mals on which the horns have been left
to grow. Take the horns In time and
save trouble.
The New Hampshire experiment sta
tion gives the following method of ap
plying the potash: "The hair should be
cut away from the young horn as thor
oughly as possible so that the potash
may come te Intimate contact with the
parts to be treated. The oily secretion
should be removed from the parts to be
touched with the potash, by wiping
carefully with a rag or sponge mois
tened with soap suds, or water contain
ing a little ammonia. Parts not to be
touched should not be moistened. The
stick of potash Is rolled up In a piece
of paper so aa to leave one end exposed.
The exposed end Is dipped In water to
moisten It and then rubbed on the but
ton or embryo horn until the skin be
gins to start, care being taken that the
whole of the button and the border or
matrix Is Included In the treatment In
young calves a few days old a surface
half an Inch or a little more In diame
ter will cover these parts. Caustic pot
ash, or caustic soda, which answers as
well, can be obtained at almost any
drug store. When not In use It should
be kept In a closely-stoppered vial, one
with a rubber stopper preferred, or It
will liquefy. After the calf is two or
three days old the sooner the potash is
applied the better.
Pasturage for Dogs.
At the recent meeting of the Ken
tucky Swine Breeders' association,
held at Elizabethtown, Mr. J. L. Lisle
read a paper on "What Is the Cheapest
and Best Hog Food," in which after
stating that the hog. by nature, is a
grazing animal and that pasturage for
blm Is not only a luxury but a neces
sity, he said that by furnishing them
with pasturage we accomplish two
ends we harvest the crops (blue
grass, clover and rye) without any ex
pense or labor, and at the same time
the hogs take the necessary exercise
and become fully developed in bone
and muscle, and after suggesting the
benefits of exercise as well as the val
uable results from the character of
food obtained In pasturing, he contin
ued: "In the fall when we generally
have a drouth artichokes come In well
to fill the gap between the summer
grazing and the rye. With plenty of
good pasturage we need to have very
little fear of the feeding too much of
that cheapest of all grains corn. With
good pasturage you can safely feed
freely of grain. In fact, It never pays
to feed sparingly. Hogs should always
be fed liberally. The stingy feeder and
the hog are not very good friends. I
lately visited two different breeders,
one of them had his hogs on good
grass and plenty of grain, and there I
saw a splendid lot of youngsters, and
tho breeding stock, including a 500
pound boar, were as active as kittens.
The other breeder bad some fancy
bred stock, bought at high prices, with
plenty of bran and shipstuff, but no
sign of grass of any kind, and he
hardly bad a single good indi
vidual. What grass has done for Ken
tucky horses and cattle it will do for
her hogs. If you can't furnish pastur
age for your hogs, then don't try to
raise hogs, for you can't compete suc
cessfully with your neighbor, who ha?
the cheapest and best of all foods."
Dairy Production In France. Some
Interesting statistics were set forth at
a recent meeting of the Society for the
Encouragement of the Dairy Industry
In v France. It was stated that there
were in France 5,250,000 milch cows,
and that they produced 1,716,000.000
gallons of milk annually. Out of this
production 462,000,000 gallons are em
ployed In the manufacture of cheese,
of which 126,000,000 kilogrammes Is
made, Paris consuming about one
ninth of the total production, and En
gland taking some 36,000 cwts., equiv
alent to a sum of 110,000. Of the
butter produced, 450,000 cwt Is an
nually shipped to England, represent
ing a value of upwards of 2,330,000.

Kerosene Emulsion. Hard soap, y
pound; boiling water, 1 gallon; kero
sene. 2 gallons; dissolve the soap in
the water, add the kerosene, and churn
with a pump for 5-10 minutes. Dilute
4 to 25 times before applying. Use
strong emulsion for all scale Insects.
For such Insects as plant lice, mealy
bugs, red spider, thrips. weaker prep
arations will prove effective. Cabbage
worms, currant worms and all Insects
which have soft bodies, can also be
successfully treated. It is advisable
to make the emulsion shortly before
it is used.
The Compost Heap. Without doubt
much valuable fertility is lost to farms
by the owner not having a compost
heap. It Is necessary to save the veg
etable manure In a moist state. When
the moisture dries out of manure or
grass or leaves or weeds the fertility
largely departs. For this reason an
earth closet proves effective, but It en
tirely destroys the fertility In the ac
cumulations. The moisture escapes
and takes away all but the ash, which
remains in the form of a fine dust The
compost heap should be In a place
where all vegetable refuse can be
thrown.
Setting of strawberry plants must be
carefully done, the crowns being Just
at top of the ground. If too low they
will become covered with dirt and If
too high they will not do well.

Among the many expenses borne by
railroad companies the Ice bill figures
quite prominently. For Instance, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad It is
expected it will take over 50,000 tons
of Ice this year to meet the require

portion is used in connection with
shipment of perishable goods; the bal
ance In the passenger train service. A
great deal of this ice Is put up by the

the past winter has been so warm a
very large proportion will have to be
