A correspondent OF the Poultry Yard
declares, with his experience OF twenty
years he must say there is no feed on this
earth that is so good for young chickens
old chickens or old fowls as sour milk
Clabbered milk or cheese curd made from
sour milk. Even old, sour buttermilk for
old fowls is the best of food, but all of this
must have some meal and judgment added
to it. No gapes, no cholera among chick
ems that are fed on sour milk and Kept free
from lice. His feed is fresh ground corn
meal, oatmeal, and shorts wet with clab-
bered milk, some cracked corn and whole
wheat fed according to the age OF chick
ems. Raising chickens Is something like
making cheese. There is time and a
place for every step from the egg TO the
tull grown chicken. Experience with the
right kind of perseverance will raise
chickens and take good care OF old fowls.
Sour milk, thickened with shorts and meal
ted every morning, and some kind of
whole grain at night is his best food for
eggs. 1t is our impression that the fresh
ground cOrnmeal, the oatmeal, and shorts,
the cracked corn and whole wheat consti =
tute a pretty good variety of food even
with the sour milk left out, and for very
small chicks we would so leave it. For
older fowls old milk is firstclass. New
milk won't hurt them though.

TROTTING TIME.--The best trOtters that
flourlshed about 1880 could not do mile
under . 80, but in 1856 Flora Temple
reduced The time 10 2.24i ,. In 1866, Wood
ruifs PRIDE, Dexter, under the saddle, did
the mile at Buffalo IN 21S, and IN the
following year in 211 Since that Time
Mr.. Bonnei'3 famous RaIus, Goldsmith
Maid, Lulu and others have trOttcd their
mile in 2.lj or less But rises like these
just mentioned are nothing to the wonderful
trotters of to-day. Maud s., the queen OF
the turf, reduced the time at Rochester N
1880 to 2.10al and IN 1891, over the same
course she trotted a mile in the unparal-
leled time of 2l0l4. The first half Of the
Rochester track Is by no means good had
it All been equal to the last half she would
have made the distance in 2.lO. AS sus-
tanned performance, however, her achieve
ment at Belmont Park, Philadelphia, in
July, surpassed all previous record. She
trotted three consecutive heats in PIP
213l, 212l5. Her sowest heat ltarus'
best at Hartford in 1873, when the record
was 2134, 21315 and 2lj. Maud S has
now the glory of having achieved the
fastest heat, the tastes, two consecutive
heats, and the fastest three consecutive
heats that have ever been seen. II Maud

Mr.. George w. Gere. President of the
Champaign Qll) Sugar Company, IN send.
ing to Colmdn's Rural World several SAM
pies Of sorghum sugar and strip made by
Prof. Weber from Northern cane of last
years product, writes as follows concern.
ing the progress OF this growing industry
Several questions are settled by these
specimens: That the product of Northern
cane may be held in the form of sirup for
any desired length of time, and worked
when convenient for sugar and molasses
that the sugar will make hard crystals
that, after taking tirsts from the srup, the
molasses may be made desirable for table
use, unobjectionable IN color and taste
our leading grOcers pronounce it the best
molasses for table use ever sold by them
that the sorghum taste can be and has been
entirely removed. But you must tell us
what you thing OF the specimens after you
try them, and submit them to your expert
grocer friends.
Prof. Weber is at the factory hard at
work, and says he has not got time to write
you, as he mus. get the remaining 10000
gallons worked over and out of the way
before the new crop comes in.
The sugar sent IN is from batch of
5000 pounds, which was swung out with
our five new centrifugals in seven hours.
1t looks now as though we would have
centrifugals enough. We are putting In
some new 65-horse power boilers. The
furnaces are being constructed on the JAR
Wis plan by the Jarvis Furnace Company
of Boston, and we expect to burn the ba-
gasse as it comes from the carrier. Our
new closed defecators have just arrived,
and will soon be placed in position. We
have 600 acres of cane growing and IN good
condition. The present indications are
that we will be able to commence work at
least two weeks earlier than we did last
year. We have arranged with cane-grow.
ers to deliver $50 tons of cane per day.
Col. Colman, IN speaking of these sam
pies, says he has exhibited them to numer-
Gus experts, who pronounce them the best
sugar and slrup they have seen-the sugar
equal to any granulated, and the slrup to
any maple sirup.

The TEXAS SCREW WoRM-A few

was crazy man here who was covered
with eggs and small worms. If any liv-
ing thing with blood spots lies still IN
worm season, the flies will deposit their
eggs on it, and they will soon hatch out.
A mashed tick, u briar scratch, or the
smallest particle of blood Is sufficient to
attract the flies and secure a deposit, of
