Profits OF Poultry.

An Eastern writer in commenting on
the profit o fraising poultry as compared
with pork, makes this statement: Sup
pose farmer begins with twenty hens
weighing one hundred pounds; these
twenty hens will consume two Quarts, or
four pounds, Of grain day; one.hun-
dred pound pig will consume about o.
much, but when it is two.hundred
pounds it will consume about twice as
much, while the twenty hens will con-
sumo no more and can easily rear one
hundred chickens, which at four months
old will weigh three-hundred pounds,
and that is long before the pig will weigh
so much and they will not cost 80 much
as the pig for food. The hens In the
meanwhile are paying in eggs at least
twice as much as the cost Of their food,
and they will make as much manure as
a pig, and the manure will be more yalu
able. "Nuf sed."

Advice to Dyspeptics,

The late DIR. Leared, in his recently
published essay on "The Causes and
Treatment Of Indigestion" lays down as
a fundamental principle that the amount
of food each man is capable of digest
ing with ease always has limit which
bears relation to his age, constitution,
health and habits, and that indigestion
is consequence Of exceeding this limit.
Different kinds of food are also differ
emily adapted to different constitutions.
Dyspepsia may be brought on by eating
irregularIy, by allowing too long an in
terval between meals. and by eatin too
often. Frequently the meals are not
guaged as to their relative amount. or
disrribu ted with due regard to health.

Making Good Butter-Local Requi.
sites.
A Kansas correspondent in the India
ma Farmer says:
"The local requisites for the manufact-
ure of good butter are pure air, cold
running water. and sufficiency of
sweet, nutritious heritage. Fresh, rich,
juicy feed will enhance both quality and
quantity of milk and butter. The requi-
sites named belong, generally, to some
what elevated or billy districts, rather
than to those of an opposite character
4 rolling elevated country, hilIy often
times, Astounding in springs of pure,
cold water; and drained by clear. rip-
pling streams, flowing oyer grayelly or
rocky beds constitutes the predomina
ting character of the best dairying dis
tricts of our great country; so famous
tor it's dairy products. On such land the
best and sweetest grasses are produced
in the greatest Insurance, and abound
in the best milk producing Qualities.
Another essential is a change of past
nres. This is contrary to the teachings
OF some, but from actual experience we
are able to say it isa very important
item in the list of necessaries required
tor bonnteOus supply of milk and the
wholesale production of gilt edged but
ter. If in changing from one pasture to
another the grasses are no better either
IL quality or quantity, sill a marked
difference is observes! in the yield OF
milk. Cows seem to tire of one pasture
and one place. They love to roam and
feed in some new Enclosure occasionally
Everything seems to taste sweeter to
them, and they eat with new relish
a change, therefore, should be made
from one pasture 10 another about
every ten days or two weeks.
Cows, TO yield the best returns, should
have ready access 10 good water. Sncl,
as flows from pure springs to be pre-.
fe, red, but any kind will do, provided il
is pure. This is almost Indispensable
for it Is II 'xt to impossible to make good
butter without Ill abundant supply OF
piire water. Those having pastures
where the water fails in dry season have
probably observed how rapidly their
cows shrink in their milk when water is
scarce and the animals 10 not get their
usna' supply. Inducing COWS 10 drink
large quantities Of water will increase
the flow OF milk certainly. but to what
extent the quantity Of milk may be in.
creased without injury to quality we are
not prepared to say; bnt We are satisfied
that one OF the best methods of increas.
ing the dow Of milk is to give each COW
at milking time small quantity Of salt
to lick. If this is done regularly cows
will need salt at no other time, This
with frequent changing of pasture and
plenty of pure water, is the secret of ar
abundant supply of milk and butter.

To Have Good Cantaleups.

Ifnot time now, it soon will be. for
the young cantalenpe plants to be at
tended to, and the hills in which there
are too many vines to be tl,lnned out,
always allowing the strongest to remain
three plants being enough in a hill. In
removing the weeds and stirring the soil,
too much care cannot be bestowed SO as
not to disturb the vines after they have
commenced running, as it must be re-
membered that large proportiou-in
indeed, much the larger proportion-of
the nourishment of the vines is derived
from the soil though tho rootlets attach

When the fruit h is reached about one

which is the best, though a piece OF
shingle or thin board will answer, under
each cantaleupe and it will prevent the
earth from extracting the flavor from
about one fourth the fr,,it, as we COM
monty find to be the case with the plir-
chased cantaleups. OF course this
method will not answer for large crops
intended for market, but it should not

A Story Of the War.


"Gath," in Il letter to the New York
Tribune, gives an interesting account OF
meeting between two heroes, eacl,
of whom supposed the other to be
dead. He says:
THE ex-General Gordon told me an
interesting story about two interviews
he held with General Barlow. At
Sharpeburg Barlow was apparently
MORALLY wounded and lell into Cor
don's hands. Gordon took 4 liking to
him and asked If he could do some
thing for Barlow.
II think not, general" said the
young man. II shall be buried here
no doubt. l do not expect to live
But you can do one thing for me.
Here is a package of letters from my
wife, which wish you to destroy be-
fore my eyes,"
Gordon, who was a young man also,
took the letters and was about tn de-
stroy them when Barlow, with bnb-
BILE at his throat, murmurei: "Wou!d
you take the trouble to read me one
of them first? Any one will do"
Gordon opened one of the letters and
read it to the dying 'n.n-his last friendly
words, perhaps, from home. Then the
letters were destroyed. Bnt the Incl
dent touched Gordon so that lie made a
special exertion to have Barlow sent
through the lines or to have his wife add
mitted TO him. THIS being done the two
armies fell apart and these men ga" each
other no more. Gordon considered
Barlow to be dead. Barlow had also
seen that a General Gordon had been
killed somewhere. The met again at /,
friendly table in Washington, but did
not know each other, through the
changes of time.
After some lapse Gordon said: General
Barlow. are you a relative of that Bar
low who was killed at Antietam?" No.
said the General, II am the same man
"Are you any relative" inquired Barlow
in tur "of that General Gordon who
was recently killed on the Confederate
slider" THAT was my cousin; am
John B. Gordon" Then at the re-
quest of the persons who overheard
Barlow told the tale. amid tears and
emotion on every side.

HOUSE AND FARM,
Farming Notes.


Prof. +. W. Stewart, in his recent use.
full book, celebrates the COW as "the
most remarkable producer among ami.
mals." She gives at her best nearly
seven times her weight per annum in
milk, OF food value twice as great as the
1eef creature Of equal size gains during
the same time.
The export trade in fresh beef il
reaching unusual proportions this sea-
son. Up to May 81, this year, G., S7s, $40
pounds, valued at Sc, 500 $3.50, had been
exported, while during the correspond
ing period of 1882 but 36, 253 ,495 pounds,
valued at s., 45l ,l46, were exported.
The New York herald says: "The feet
and legs of horses require more care
than the rest OF the body. They must
not be allowed to stand in 9Th and
moisture, and in grooming horse the
feet and legs must be as thoroughly
brushed and cleaned az a coat. A little
oil.cake meal mixed with the food will
give glossiness.
But a few of our dairy farmers have
not yet learned how to Judge q good
cow. Not one in ten knows whether

profit or loss. A good cow ought to pro-
duce annually 200 pounds Of butter or
5000, pounds Of cheese. Such cows are,
however, greatly the exception, not the
rule. We may fairly cay that not one
cow in twenty yields over $50 pounds of
butter or more than $50 pounds of
cheese. The cause of this low average
must be charged to the dairy farmer. He
Is the man that manages the COW.
The well.known poultry authority,
Mr.. I. K. Felch, states in the New York
World, that one bushel of corn will
grow as many pounds Of live po ultry as
it will of pork. One bushel and twelve
quarts of sound corn or its equivalent in
other grain will keep fowl one year.
The average hen will lay 1912 dozen of
eggs per annum. which ought to secure
profit of $l2,2D to bl,75 per head, &c
cordlng to the price of eggs. Poultry and
grain are affected by the markets of any
special locality. Farmers should in all
branc hes of industry operate largely
enough to secure the best results in
price. Mr.. Felch would not have him
20 into poultry farming exclusively, but
he considers that the man who plants an
orchard has by NO means finished his
work until he shall have furnished quar-
tiers in the same for $50 to 2UO fowls to
the acre making it serve the double pur-
pose of orchard and poultry yard.

Wire Worms iii Gardens

A practical gardener says he kills or
repels wire worms with spent gas lime,
largely mixed with manure. He pro-
cures wagon load Of the gas lime and
mixes it with three or folr times IA
much strong and short manure mixed
with about an equal quantity Of good
soil. This is spread late in autumn over
the ground and plowed in. The next
spring, root or other crops are planted
on this ground, after it has been thor
oughly stirred, and no wire worms are
to be seen. The quantity is what would
be termed a moderate dressing of the
manure; too much gas lime would injure
the crop. Farmers who live near gas
works may easily try this on their fields
infested with wire worms,

Lawyers In q Republic.

From the New York Mail.
1t has been somewhat boastfullv said
by me.nber Of the profession that thi,
is government by lawyers, and Sena-
tor Bayard virtually asserted as much in
his address to the students of the Yale
law school yesterday, when he remarked
Under our American system the legal
profession is actually part of the gov.
eminent itself, as much 80 practically as
II nominated and commissioned in of.
tice." 1t is reported that there are now
7O,WO lawyers in the United States, and
the legal profession is growing more
rapidly than any other, except that OF
medicine. If lawyers can save a nation
there ought to be no doubt as to the &C.
curity Of our republic. Perhaps it is be-
cause there is so much truth in the state
ment concerning our being ruled by
lawyers that we are governed 80 poorly.
Certainly there is profound need OF a
reform IN the government of the Ameri-
can people, municipal, state and federal,
and the subject Of Senator Bayard's ora
ton. The responsibility of the Legal Pro-
fession in Republic. is one which
ought to have the serious attention of
our 70 900 lawyers.
American lawyers:
"ln no country in the world" SAID
Burke, fully a century ago, with refer
ence to America, "is law SO general q
study" and this remark still holds good
Law is. and always has been, regarded
there as q road leading to all greatness.
Usually about two-thirds of the members
of Congress are lawyers. They swarm
in journalism. They become railroad
men or great tinanciers. They pull the
wires. organize parties, and play q
political part altogether out of proper
ton to that which belongs to the
same class here. Oar lawyers even the
greatest of them, have rarely had
more than a secondary position in poll
tics On the other hand, from Hamil-
tons time to our own, the same class in
the United States has always been in
the very front rank of party warfare. It
| ls, moreover, a much more numerous
class than with US. We have, to be sure
no lack of lawyers, but an average
American town will contain three times
as many members Of the profession as
an English town of equal size. Amer.
| can lawyers might claim with consider
able cogency that they cultivated not
merely the graces Of their procession
| that they were accustomed to look ut
| new legal questions raised by the cir.
cumstances of modern society with a
freedom and breadth of view which Is
very rare here"
STRANGE that the more pretentious
American newspapers can no. write in
that way about their own country.
