Dairy Kates.
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.
A small portion of the gluten and the
larger part of the starch are removed
from the barley by the action of dis
taste and yeast
It is probably a mistake to dose
fowls with the idea of keeping away
disease. 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.

THE ILLS OF WOMEN
And How Mrs. Piakkam Helps
Oreroom Tbam. n
Mrs. Mart Boixntesa, 1101 Marianna
St, Chicago, 111., to Mrs. Piakham:
44 1 have been troubled for the past
two years with falling of the womb,
leucorrhcea, pains over my body, sick
headaches, backache, nervousness and
weakness. I tried doctors and various
remedies without relief. After taking
two bottles of your Vegetable Com
pound, the relief I obtained was truly
wonderful. I have now taken several
more bottles of your famous medicine,
and can say that I am entirely cured.'
Mrs. Hf..nry Dorr, No. 806 Findlcy St ,
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham :
44 For a long time I suffered with
chronic inflammation of the womb,
pain in abdomen and bearing-down
feeling. 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. I have her alone to thank
for my recovery, for which I am grate
ful. May heaven bless her for tho
good work she is doing for our sex.'
