THE EGG PRODUCT.

The egg product is matter of ne little
Importance to the party who depends, in a
great measure, upon the sales of eggs to the
food market for his profits in fowl husban-
dry.
The breeder of fancy poultry for sxhibi-
ton is not obliged to watch this branch SO
closely as does the former person. We all
enjoy the pleasure of the eye, but fine fea-
theirs do not always bring prolific birds in
the laying house, any more than beauty
and brains are always linked closely in the
human family.
Be careful in your selection of laying stock
to keep that point in mind, and accept such
emily as will bring out this result. 1t would
be quite help to the beginner, if officers
of poultry shows required some report Of
the laying record of the birds exhibited
though we are aware there are great diff.
culties in the way of this plan.
After your stock is selected and at work

BUTTERMILK.,

We have many times urged the feeding of
skinned milk to laying hens and will add
that on the farm where dairying is carried
of great advantage, and will very sensibly
increase the egg production. After few
days trial, the biddies will loak out eagerly
for your coming with the accustomed dish
in hand. Use it instead of water and the
slightly saline quality will be beneficial.
Either buttermilk or skinned milk is ex-
cellent The latter, of course, is not as rich
and tattening as the former, but still con-
tains much of good. Should you be keeping
large flock of hens you will find it will
pay to feed milk.

TO MEASURE THE FLOW OF A STREAM

To measure water roughly in ali open
stream take from four to twelve differ ent
points in a straight line across the stream,
and measure the depth at each of these diff
terent poiats, and add them together, divide
by the measurement taken. This quotient
will give you the average depth which
should De measured in feet. Multiply this
average depth by the width in feet, and this
will give you the square of the stream. Mul-
tiply this by the velocity of the stream in
feet per minute, and you will have the cubic
feet per minute of the stream. The velocity
of the stream can be found by laying off one
hundred feet on the bank and then throwing
board into the stream at the middle, note
the time required to pass over the one hun
dred feet and dividing the one hundred feet
by the time and multiplying by sixty gives
the velocity in feet per minuts at the sur
face. The velocity at the center is only SO
per cent. of that of the surface, and SO only
SO per cent. should be calculated. For ex-
ample, suppose the float passed one hundred
feet in ten seconds, this divided by ten and
multiplied by sixty-seconds in minute
gives six hundred feet per minute, as the
velocity of the stream at the center. and the
area of the cross-section multiplied by this,
will give the number of cubic feet per min
ute in the stream.-CoLorado Farmer.

production may be increased somewhat by
taking care to remove the eggs from the
two or three times daily, leaving one or two
"mock eggs" for nest-keepers. We all know
that a hen that steals her nest hardly eyer
lays more than twelve or fifteen eggs before
sitting. The frequent removal keeps her
still laying to get the full number, and ma
terial1y increases the profits of her owner.
This desire or tendency in wild birds to
produce certain number Of eggs has some
times been more than tribled by persistently
and regularly removing the eggs from the
nests, and in such case the bird, as if she
knew that she could not sit to advantage
without the regular complement of eggs,
goes on producing, till for instance, accord
ing to accounts, woodpecker has been
known to lay forty eggs in less than two
months.-PouJhy World.

Now that winter is coming on, see that
your poultry have good. warm, comforta-
BILE quarters. With little labor, and very
small outlay of money, you can fit up a
warm coop. Let it be sheltered from the
nit both light and warmth, and give the
place comfortable and home-like appear
ance. Spend day now in attending to this
matter, and when the mercury is below zero
your hens will pay you with fresh eggs.

ANOTHER mistake is made by many of
our wheot growers in neglectng to pulver-
iZe and pack their wheat land as fast as thew
pioW it. 1t is a safe ruie to roll each day as
you poW. There has not been tor a month
a rain that tnoi>tened field that was left to
dry and bake rough. just as it was plowed ;
but the fields that We're at once mellowed
are moist enough for the seed, and on some
OF them the wheat is up. A gentle shower
will put the fine field in good condition, but
will have no effect at all on the rough. clod-
dy one. There is no other way in which |
can increase the yield of wheat on my farm
so cheaply as by extra pulverization and |
consider one dollar spent in extra labor on
an acre worth more than TWO or three dol
lars paid out for fertilizers. s.-RuvaL Neqo

Fried Eggs.-Boil some fresh eggs ten
minutes; then cut them in thin slices, dip
each ia beaten egg and fine cracker crumbs,
and fry brown in hot lard. A little parsley
chopped and mixed with the raw egg is a
decided gain. An excellent garnish for
corned beef or boiled ham.
Boned Michen.-Boil a chicken in little
soup stock until the bones can be readily
separated from the meat, remove the skin,
slice and mix together the light and the
dark meat; season with salt and pepper;
boil down the juice, pour it upon the meat
and shape it like loaf Of bread wrap
lightly in a cloth; press it with heavy
weight tor few hours. When served. cut
in thin slices.
apple Float.-Boil and mash six apples;
sweeten to taste, then beat with siyer fork
or an egg-beatcr until very light and smooth.
Beat the whites of two eggs to a stiff froth,
and gradually beat in the apples. Flavor
to taste. Partly fill a glass bowl with rich
boiled custard and put the float on the top.
The float and custard should both be very
cold.
Rais5a Pie.-One heaplng cup of stoned
and chopped raisns. mix with them the
juice and rind of lemon and the yolks of
two eggs. You may put one whole egg in
the pie and make it with an upper crust.
Browm Bread.-Three coffee cups of Gra-
ham flour, one of corn meal, three of sour
milk, three-fourths of cup of syrup, one
teaspoonful of soda in the milk. Steam six
hours.
Corn Bread-Feur eggs, two cups of sour
milk, two cups of sweet milk, three table,
spoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of soda,
one of salt, lard size of an egg, with corn
meal to make batter thin enough to pan;
bake ia quick oven. This may seem rather
fussy, but it is good enough even for the
school ma'am, and great deal more whole
some, some Of the time at least, than greasy
tried cake and mince pies.
Jelly Pis.-Beat two eggs very carefully;
add to them half cupful each OF baking
molasses and jelly, or boiled cider, two cup.
fuls of water and two rather scant table,
spoontuls OF flour. Place on the stove and
stir until it boils. Enough tor two pies.
Two crusts.
Cream Pis.-Stir smooth two large table
spoonfuls of flour in a cupful of new milk,
add another cupful of very rick sweet cream,
three tablespoonfuls of sugar, dash of salt
and little flavor. Bake with one crust.
Apple Cream Pie.-To the above mixture
add cupful of grated sweet apple, leaving
out one-fourth the quantity of flour.
Apple CuStard Pie.-Two well beaten eggs,
one cupful of grated sweet apple, a pint of
sweet milk, two large tablespoonfuls of su-
gar, little salt and flavor.

Certain gasses and fluids hos ;ile to mans
respiratory organs, thus purifying the air
for his use, and dedositing these elements in
the soil, thereby enrichng the earth Hence
the adage, "No grass, no cattle no manure
no grass" This explains all. Grass en-
riches the land and tattens cattle, cattle feed
man and make manure, manure enlivens the
SOIL and makes crops. Nature repeats her
great law OF the indestructbilty OF matter.'

MosT OF our farmers have small herds OF
cattle and are able to turn eff few head OF
beeves every year. II they will get these
animals up and feed them during the winter
they can realize handsomely for their trou-
BILE in the spring. good four-year-old
steer, properly cared for from now until
March or April, will bring $50 in any OF
our markets. This is one way to market
farm produce that Montana farmers have
not yet thought of.

ALL hens do not give us eggs in winter
time. No fowls will thus oblige us, unless
they are kept housed in good quarters, and
are properly fed daily. Under these latter
mentioned canditiohs in the coldest of wea-
ther hens OF proper age will lay, more or
less, and some OF the varieties will give US
eggs generously at this season.

Eggs and chickens will never become
cheap in our markets until there is an over

VILLAGERS almost invariably dread the
labor of dressing fowls and farmers and
poultry growers would find it profitable to
market them dressed.

ONE of the most essential things in winter
is to have warm house for fowls TO roost
in The best way to have a house construc-
ted for winter use is to have it partially un-
derground, facing to the south, with slant
ing roof reaching within three feet of the
ground on the north side and the front, or
south side covered with windows, so that
the fowls may enjoy the warm rays'of the
sun without being exposed to the piercing
winds and freezing Geld.

Fowls that have plenty of buttermilk or
skinned milk, will be likely to lay we'll.
The Poultry World says: Should you be
keeping large flock of hens, and the choice
lies between feeding the milk to a pig and
giving it to the hens. decide in favor of the
hens every time. The extra production Tor
one year by the milk feed will buy all the
pork your family may need and make your
occupation much pleasanter all around.
