It has been supposed that the milk can or jar was a great advance over the old method of dealing out milk by milkmen from an open can. The milk inspector of the city of Philadelphia and the authorities &t West Point have begun war on the system. At West Point several cases of fever were traced directly to the glass jars. The point of difficulty is that the same jars are used on different days in various families. As frequently the jars are left In the houses where contagious diseases exist, the milk in the jars rap idly accumulates disease germs. If the jars were thoroughly sterilized af ter each use there would be no danger. But as most of them are washed out in hot water, the germs remain in their vigor. The danger Is therefore great Without doubt some of our more advanced milkmen will thor oughly sterilize their cans, especially where they have steam at their dis posal. But in the greet majority of cases, especially in the city, the dan ger is obvious. So it is that we begin to return again to first ptinclples. a a a The wise men are now cudgeling their brains to find out how much it costs to manufacture milk. They have obtained all kinds of figures, ranging from 1 cent to 3. But most, if not all, of these estimates are merely fancy. We have known cases where every quart cost the milkman 7 cents for food alone. The truth Is that the cows are so various in their capacities, and the cost of grain and hay differs so that all such estimates are really worthless. There is no doubt that the cost should be lowered through the development of better cows and a bet ter system of feeding, but that there is at this present time any degree of uniformity in the cost of production we do not believe. a a The science of making cheese at home seems to have departed. The ad vent of the cheese factory has put cheese making into a different sphere. Vet it would be often desirable if some of the old homely wisdom were re tained. There are localities too far away to be in reach of a cheese lac tory, where the milt might some times be used to good advantage in the making of cheese. A gentleman from Tennessee was recently telling us of the cheese making possibilities of his immediate neighborhood. He said they had caves finely adapted to the curing of cheese. The home-made cheese can no longer compete with the factory made cheese, but for borne use it is often a desirable product. Poultry Notes. Doubtless there Is a great advance being made in the quality of the poul try of the country. A New York pub lication says that the live poultry re ceived in the New York market from (he South has Improved 25 per cent or more during the last two years. This is very encouraging, for It means that farmers are making more out of their poultry than formerly. Two great agencies have been at work to accom plish this result First the agricul tural press, which has been constantly giving precept upon precept In this matter. Second, the, great number of breeders of fine fowls who have had their advertisements constantly before the people. It may be a question some times what rjood the fancy breeder does in the world, but we believe that he has a great effect on the ideals to ward which we breed. a When the war is over we may ex pect to find in Cuba a good market for poultry and poultry products. That island has been In the past a fairly good consumer for such goods, but with a new prosperity dawning we may expect a very great enlargement of the trade in that particular. Ulti mately we will see poultry growing develop there on a considerable scale, but it is doubtful if that occurs at an early day. The people are too ignorant dow to know their opportunities, and even after peace is assured long years of education will be necessary along poultry lines. For many years the only competition we will have will be that of the scrub Cuban hen. The well-to-do classes will desire for their tables a better fowl than they have and will buy the imported goods. a It is a good plan to keep some kind of green stuff growing in the hen yard for the fowls when they have to be shut up. The trouble will be to get it started, as the fowls will attack it as soon as it comes above the ground. This prevents the plant from getting a start. A single hen can do a great deal of picking, and when the plants are so small, she can do much to keep them down level with the ground. If a single hen can be so effective, one can readily see that it is about impos sible to grow a crop in a yard,wl:ere there is a big flock. It will 'therefore be necessary to partition off the yard so only half tin be used at a time, or altenite the place of the yard, plant ing outside of the fence and then en closing it If there be enough ground convenient this will be the best way to do. One should not keep more hess than can be furnished with a green pasture, either in or outside of the yard. Good Stare Valasble, The farmer can make more money tint of one good mare than he can make out of half a dozen scrub mares, says Texas Stock and Farm Journal. If he tan make such exchanges or purchases is will enable him to have good brood mares as the work stock of the farm he can make them pay a good income. Of course he cannot do this if he does not breed them judiciously or if he does not take the right kind of care of the dam and colt Almost any one now can fnd a good stallion, and it will pay well to go a long ways, if necessary, to reach the best The best fillies should always be kept because of the value of the infused blood of the wisely selected sire and there should ever be a persistent effort to improve vrith each generation. Unless the mare is exceptionally good the process of bnilding up is not a rapid one, but with each new generation there can be a very marked advance. Of course in selecting the stallion individual-excellence as to form, style, action, constitution, disposition and performance should be considered quite as carefully as pedigree. In pedi gree look for performers along the line of ancestry upon both sides. A line of ancestry in which there are many individuals that have won dis tinction Is one of good promise.. The xcelleBcles that are shown to have been often transmitted are likely to 1 remain inheritable traits of the family. The Journal would advise the farmer breeders to start with mares whoa blood lines could be traced back through many generations rich in dis tinguished performance if this were practicable. This few can do. but very many can breed to sires of illustrious ancestry and of demonstrated prepo tent quality, the quality of transmit ting to their progeny in marked de gree the characteristics that are valued high In the more discriminating mar ket of today, and remember that the market is becoming ever more discrim inating, and the breeder who ignores Its demands had better raise mules. The day when scrub horses have a value equal to the cost of raising them has passed. Prepare for afeltlnc Season. The greatest care must be taken to keep fowls in good condition during tha molting season. It is a drain on their vital powers to furnish the ma terial for a full coat of new feathers. There is apt to be a laxity of atten tion to their feeding during this pe riod on account of their cessation of laying, when, in fact, there should be more care taken. It is a good plan to select all the fowls that it is desired to winter or keep for breeding and market the balance. This will cut down the expense of the molting sea son. Hens which will molt early if they are in good condition and com fortably housed will nearly always make the best winter layers, while the later molters will rarely lay until spring. These latter should have a place where they can keep warm and dry and be given an abundance of nu tritious food. The period of molting may be shortened by careful attention and a supply of food rich In muscle, bone and feather forming materials rather than fat making foods. Always provide pure, fresh water and keep the quarters clean. Wheat, oats, lin seed meal, bone meal, meat scraps and fresh ground bones make better food at this time than corn or anything that may be considered a fattening ra tion. While it may not be best to feed the chickens all they will eat. in near ly all cases liberal feeding and the supplying of a good variety will be found the most desirable thing to do. The hens need to take sufficient exer cise to be healthy. Feather. The Two-Hundred Err lien. Can we produce hens that will lay 200 eggs per annum? Without a doubt. How? By scientific breeding, as for a good butter cow or a good milker, as for a trotting or high jumping horse. Experiments have been made to in crease the number of rows of corn on the cob with success. The same meth od is applicable to poultry breeding. We will start with a hen that lays 120 eggs. Some of her chicks will lay, say, 150 per year. From these we will pick out layers, and so on till 200 or better are the result At the same time it is just as essential to breed our males from prolific layers as it is the females. In fact, it is more so. If we look after the breeding of the females only we will introduce" on the male side blood which is lacking in proficiency and thus check every at tempt at progress. It is just as essen tia that the male should be from a hen which laid 175 eggs and from a male that was bred from a hen that laid 150 eggs as it is that the hen was from one that laid 175 eggs and whoso mother laid 150 eggs. Ex. . Choosing a Location. The nearer a poultry man can get to his adopted market, where he disposes of his fresh eggs, poultry, etc., the bet ter, for obvious reasons. But, on the other hand, it is beet to keep out of city limits, as in a small town or vil lage land is much cheaper, taxes are lower, and there are less restrictions than in a city. So get as near the city as you can without getting into it and have an eye to good, easy roads con necting your plant with your market. Time is money, and it is expensive driving ten miles to market when firs are all that should be necessary. Then, as to site, highness and dryness are of principal importance. Cold is not near ly as bad and unhealthy for fowls a? dampness, the fosterer of colds, lung troubles and roup. Build your houses if possible upon high and dry hills or knolls, with sandy or gravelly soil and free, natural drainage. Ex. Hens that have never learned the trick of flying over the fence can be easily kept inside a four-foot wire fence, provided it have no top rail. When the trick of flying over has been learned, cut the wings and you may stop it One great reason why people that keep large numbers of fowls frequently fail with them is that they try to get along with too little work. Keeping a large flock involves much labor, and this should not be avoided. The Illinois oleomargarine law is be ing violated every day. The lawyers for the violators are trying to prove the law unconstitutional. The same law in other states has been declared valid. An investment in a sprayer will pay you if you have any orchard to speak of. Even if you have few Insects, yoa can keep off the injurious fungi that sap the life of the trees. Where ledges abound to such an ex tent as to preclude most kinds of farm ing, fruit growing may be carried on to advantage, especially the growing of blackberries. One advantage In poultry raising is that the soil cuts almost no figure. If the birds have green stuff the soil may be of sand or ledge, and it makes little difference. Some one is advising fall-hatching of birds, but we believe that in this latitude, except for broilers, the May hatches will prove the most profitable. Open drains are a nuisance on most farms, and greatly hinder the opera tions of the farmer, especially when teaming in the fields is necessary. If, as a lady writer says, girls sel dom marry the men who waste money on them, there is evidently method In some men's madness. Ex. Have a bone cutter, by means of which you can ntilize several pounds of bones per week, the refuse from your dining table. Fence as little as possible, but much fencing is necessary when a system of rotation is followed that includes the pasture. It is not a wise policy for a creamery to let go a good butter-maker because another one can be hired at a less price. The reflections of a homely woman are often as unsatisfactory as those of her mirror. The happiest days ot a man's life seem to be In the near future. Ovaisteeklag Pasture. One of the greatest mistakes made by stockmen Is the overstocking of the pastures. The government has recent ly been investigating the great stock ranges of the southwest and finds that they have been overstocked to a point where they are about ruined. This is particularly the case with Texas, where the conditions are now so bad that it is feared the injury Is perma nent The grasses and what serves for sod are killed out and the lad, if it bears anything at all, will henceforth bring, forth only weeds. The report says that It Is not yet too late to re cover, provided the land be given rest at once. The subject is a matter for consideration other than on the ranges. When our home pastures are overstocked they become permanent ly injured, at least until the land can be put into a rotation and gradually brought up again. With many pas tures this is not practicable, as fre quently the ground is stumpy or so uneven that tillage is exceedingly dif ficult When such a pasture becomes eaten down to the very soil the sod must necessarily become thin. If. through a whole growing season, the blades of the grass are not allowed to develop, the roots must become also thin and weak. When like conditions exist year by year is it any wonder that the sod becomes so thin that the total pro duct is meager? We must work for a heavy and vigorous sod on our pas tures. Overstocking is a bad practice and one that is being abandoned by our most progressive farmers. It will be found cheaper to have more gras3 grpwn than can be eaten than to have less grass grown than will satisfy the herds. There are two ways to save a pas ture from this fate to put so few cat tle on it that they cannot eat all of the grass, or to feed additional rough fod der and grain in the barns before turning them onto the pasture. Rich ard Baker has said that his plan is to have grass enough for two animals and to turn only one on it One would suppose that this would mean a great waste of material, but such is not the fact, as land so treated will probably bring forth twice as much as if treated the other way, and besides the cattle will always be in good condition. Inspect Watering Places. In tho pastures the principal drinking places should be carefully examined; first, to protect the source cf supply if it bo liable to treading by the stock; sec ondly, to remove the accumulations of mud, if by so doing the capacity of the pond can be thereby increased; and, thirdly, to protect the whole supply, as far as possible, from that fouling which is bound to go on if the cattle can obtain free access to the water, and which is never felt more than when the water is scanty. It will be understood by the thoughtful reader that the terrors of a dry summer and a deficiency of water may be alleviated to a certain extent by careful manage ment, but no time should be lost in taking steps to remedy any defects which might exist, or other pressing work will shelve the matter once for all. Farm and Home (England.) Take a Composite Sample. Quite a number of buttermakcrs object to tak ing a sample of the patron's milk to test every day, as they claim that it takes too much time; they would rather test the milk two or three times a month and test the new milk, and pay for the milk every day. When you do not take a sample of the milk every day, it gives the patron who is inclined that way a better chance to skim the night's milk without be ing detected, and there are some pa trons who will do so, as we all know. After the buttcrmaker has once fixed up the sample bottles for holding the composite sample of milk, it don't take much time to take a sample of the milk. You can take a sample of milk while you are waiting for the weigh can to empty, and it really doesn't take any extra time. N. Y. Produce Re view. Live Stock Figures. The number ot swine decreased S40.233 in lSi7, mak ing a decrease of nearly 5,000.030 in the past three years. Tho decrease for '97 was considerably less than for tho preceding two years. The number of horses decreased 403,756, making a total decrease for three years of 2, 000,000. or fully 10 times as many as were c?er annually used on street rail roads, yet the substitution of elec tricity for horse power on such roads has been made to account very largely for the prevailing low price of horses. The only live stock that made any in crease in number in '07 was sheep, 838,317; and mules, 42,011. Shying in Horses. A recent writer gives an ingenious explanation for the habit of shying in horses. Shying, he Etates, is a relic of a valuable ances tral instinct. The wild horse feared few enemies when out on the plains, where speed was his protection. But every bush or tuft of long grass might, and often did, contain a fierce foe ly ing in ambush. Many a time must the wild horse have saved his life by a sudden swerve and leap in the oppo site direction the moment he heard the rustle of the leaves. In this way the habit of shyness in a horse is a relic of the instinct of his ancestors. It Is Clean Butter. Professor Wing, speaking recently to the Xew York state dairy meeting of a visit he had paid to Europe, said: "Our butter in some cases is as good as any in Den mark, but does not average as good. There are some careless dairymen there as elsewhere, but there is not so much variation. There is nothing done there we do not do. There is no secret. There cows, feed, and milk are ordinary. Scrupulous care, clean liness, and tho use of artificial fer ments, which is almost universal, arc the causes of superiority. Malt Sprouts. Malt used in beer manufacture is prepared by moistening barley and allowing it to sprout The sprcuting produces a ferment called diastase, which changes starch into sugar. After the formation of the di astase, which requires a certain num ber of days, the barley Is dried, and the sprouts removed by machinery and sold for cattle feed. The barley is now termed malt Dried Brewers' Grain. Dried Brew ers' grain Is the kiln dried residue from beer manufacture. It consists ot some of the starch, together with the hulls, germ and gluten of the barley.

If they are well, let them alone, but give them feed at all times that will not be too hard on the di gestion. Some poultry men say that meat cooked is not so good for hens cs the ! raw meat, but that the cooked meat will actually do barm if fed In too great quantities. A FATALITY AVOIDED. (From the Democrat. Gosaca, led.) Whea neuralgia is accompanied by doll, heavy pain near the beart,freqBeBtly becoming intense, it generally terminates fatally. - Mrs. Nancy Flynn,whoIives near Goshen, Indiana, survived such aa attack and her advice is worth heeding. "In the fall of '93," she said, "I began t to have trouble with my heart. Thero was a sharp pain in ray breast which became rapidly worse. The doctor was puzzled and put me under the influence of opiates. Those sharp attacks followed one another at intervals, and I became weak and had haggard look. I was constantly in pain, seldom slept and bad no appetite. "At tho end of two years I was confined to my couch most of the time and the doctors agreed that my death was only a matter of a short time. "Onodayl noticed in a newspaper an item about a wo man having been cured of neuralgia of the heart by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, and I concluded to trv them. "AVhen I bad finished one box I noticed an im rrnvomant in A SerioM Time. mvcondition, and when I had taken twelve boxes I was completely cured. Those pills havo done for you what we conld cot do,' raid ono of my physicians, 'thoy havo saved your life.' llhat was two years ago and my heart has not troubled me sinco. I believe I owe ray life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, nnd I take pleasure in telling others about them." Among the many forms of neuralgia are headache, nervousness, paralysis, apoplexy and locomotor ataxia. Some of these were considered incurs hie until Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pnle People were formulated. To lay thousand testify to having been cured of such diseases by these pills'. Doctors frequently prescribe tbem and all druggists sell them. Conclusion Something a woman can reach without using reason or judgment Legislation Relative to Patents for In ventors.

Was very nervous at times, and a so weak I was hardly ablo to do any thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with, leucorrhcea. After doc toring for many months with different physicians, nnd getting no relief, I had given np all hope of being well again when 1 read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound was doing. 1 decided immedi ately to give it a trial. The result was simply past belief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash I can say I feci like a new woman. I deem it my duty to announce tho fact to my fellow sufferers that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies havo entirely cured me of all my pains and suffering.
