Profit in Poultry.

Says James Rankin in the Home
stead: l have sixteen cows in my
barn; my neighboIs call them good
ones The milk is sold in the neigh
boring villages at remunerative prices.
1t requires the labor of two men and
one team to milk, care for these cows
and deliver the milk. l have $50 pull.
lets in my yards; with but a 1.-THE of
the labor and capital employed,
these pullets last winter made more
than double the clear money that my
cows did.
I am well acquainted with two
young men who are running a poultry
and dairy farm jointly. The enc is an
invalid, keeps one thousand hens, the
care of which occupies about one-half
his time. The other keeps thirty cows,
from which he makes butter of so
good quality that it commands from
eight to ten cents above standard
prices. This man raises the usual
farm crops, reads the papers carefully,
knows something of labor and its ap-
plication, and runs his gang of four or
five men with an eye to business. Y ct
the invalid brother, with less than
one-tenth of the labor and capital en-
ployed, clears double the money from
his 1000 hens than his brother does
from his whole farm.
Oae Instance more: E. Damon, of
South Hanson, Mass, told me not
long since that he had $50 pullets in
his yards, 600 of which had been con-
fined in one building all winter with
out stepping out of doors. The build
ing is 60x4O feet, divided into four
compartments, each 15x40 feet, $50
fowls being confined in each. These
fowls had furnished him with thirty
five dozen eggs per day through the
winter. The eggs were taken at the
door at AZ cents per dozen. This gave
him $11 clear profit per day, with on
" few hours care.

a Northwestern Horse Rancho.

From the Idaho Chronicle. -~
The Oregon Horse and Land conf
pany have ranches located in Lost
vally, of thu old LeBard rancho; one
at the mouth OF Sucker near the snake
river, Idaho; one at three forks OF the
Sucker (the Dave Shea Tanch); also
the old McCusick ranch on OWyhee
creek. The range occupied is 85X150
miles in Idaho and Oregon. The
stock of horses owned were originally
well selected Oregon, mares which
have since been bred to Norman-Per
cheron horses, and to-day the average
of the entire band is probably not ex-
ceeded on the coast. They are the
largest horse owners in the United
States, having over 5000 head of fine
large Oregon horses. The present
season they purchased eleven stations
from the celebrated breeding farm of
NJ. w. Durham, Wayne, Ill. Besides
they added six PerCherons from the
Marshal Ney horse owned IN Oregon.
They have in use alout 200 stations
on their ranches. During the past
season their shipments to eastern
markets were twenty-five carloads
and their purchases this season
amounted to 5000 head. The compa-
ny began business about one year ago,
succeeding one or two individuals,
owning ranches and bands of horses.
Last year they purchased 5000 head
and have really come to the front as
TIE leading horse owners of Idaho and
the Pacific coast.

English Sheep Husbandry
rom the Agricultural Gazette.

FIOul ll0 AGRICULTURAL UdLOIlC.
The philosophy of evolution and de.
velopment appears to be supported By
the history OF our live stock. Those
who have traced out the rise and pro-
gress, have also had to record the de-
cadence aud the fall of races of cattle
and sheep. The old long horn,
brought to perfection under the skill
full management of BLACKWELL, waned
and vanished under the superior quail
tiles Of the short-horn. 1t would, in
deed, be touching upon delicate ground
to hint that this pet of the great ones
of the earth could be displaced from
her temple. All things, however,
must come to an end, and exorbitant
sums of money given by individuals
for no special excellence except what
exists, or is supposed to exist, poten-
TALLY in the mysterious virtues OF
pedigree savors of that luxury which
precedes decay and dissolution.
The history of our chief breeds of
sheep affords more than one instance
of improvement and abandonment.
Take, for example, the Leicester. Fifty
years ago this breed might have APP
propriately have been said to 'ruie the
roost." Now, excerpt in very few
CQuliIlSS duO d
of farmers, the Leicester has been
supplanted. The Cotswold sheep is
said to be going out, even upon his
own hills, and does not seem to be
spreading in his own locality. The
Southdown was to the short-wooled
races as the Leicester was 20 the long
woods. Scarcely breed was not i'm
proved by his touch, and for this rea-
son alone the SouthdoWn win always
hold high position in the history Of
British flocks. Still, it must be con-
fessed that the SouthdoWn has ceased
to be rival for popularity with larger
and more profitable, il less shapely,
breeds of sheep.
One of the greatest advances in
sheep breeding was made by Mr..
bruce, of Eynsham, when he success
fully crossed the Hampshire Down
and Cotswold. and thereby produced
the Oxford Down. The rise OF this
remarkable breed has been rapid, and
it seems likely to extend further in its
geographical distribution. An I'M
| fortunate predisposition to foot lame
ness is one of the weakest points in
this favorite breed of the midlands,
and slowness in coming to maturity
may possibly be also recorded as a
! frequent mark against him.

Health Alphabet.

The Ladies' Health Association, of
London, gives the following simple
rules for keeping healthy:
As soon as you are up shRGs blanket
and sheet;
Better be without shoes than sit
with wet feet;
Children, if healthy, are active, not
still; r
Damp beds and damp clothes will
make you ill;
Eat slowly and always chew your
food well;
F-Feshen the air in the room where
you dwell;
Garments must never be made too
tight;
Homes should be healthy, airy and
light;
If you wish to be well, as you do
I've no doubt;
Just open the windows before you
go out;
Keep rooms always tidy and clean;
Let dust on the furniture never be
seen;
Much illness is caused by the want
of pure air;
Now to open the windows be ever
your care;
Old rags and old rubbish should
never be kept;
People should see that their floors
are well swept;
Quick movements in children are
healthy and right;
Remember the young cannot thrive
without light;
See that the cistern is clean to the
brim;
Take care that your dress is all tidy
and clean;
Use your nose to fad if then Is q
bad drain;
very sad are the fevsrs that come
in its train:
Walk as much as you can without
feeling fatigue;
X-erxes could walk full many
league.
Your health is your wealth, which
your wisdom must keep;
Zeal will keep a good cause, and thu
good you will reap.

Development of Bee Culture in North
America.
Mr.. I. G. Newman, statistician of
the Northwestern Society of Bee
keepers, said recently 20 the members
of that organization:
Since the introduction Of the NOV
able comb hive, twenty years ego, bee
culture in North America has been
developed more than it had been in
the century previous. To-day the
United States and Canada produce the
bulk OF the honey consumed in the
world, and our apiarlStS are the most
skilled and successful. According TO
conservative estimates we have a total
OF 100000 colonies, which annually
yield 100000 pounds of honey. The
value OF the colonies, at an average of
$l1 each, would be S33,o00000,
and of the annual product, at
al average of 10 cents per pound,
S1S,OO0OO0, making the total amount
OF money involved, approximately,
Sol 100000. The comparative show
Ing of all Europe is less than one
tenth of this amount. From Califor-
nlaswe supply Australia, and Europe
imports largely from our eastern
states. AT the London agricultural
fair we recently displayed $50 tons Of
honey in the comb, which was award
ed the prize over all the European eX-
hlblts. In America honey is plentiful
and cheap; in Europe it is scarce and
precious. While Il sells for about IL
cents pound here, it brings a.haff-
crown, or 62115 cents, at London.
There are very few localities in Eu-
rope where the honey-bee prospers.
there being no staple bloom upon
which they could depend for honey.
The most progressive people in agri-
culture are the Swiss, who successful
ly maintain extensive apiaries at a
great attitude in 1.-THE Alps. France is
dependent on Switzerland for her
honey supply. The time is not far
distant when America will be ex-
porting largely to all the European
nations"

ADVICE TO MoTHERs.-Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup should always
be used when children are cutting
teeth. 1t relieves the little sufferer at
once; it produces natural, quiet sleep,
by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as bright as
a button" 1t is very pleasant to taste;
it soothes the child, ,softens the gums,
allays all pain, relieves wind, regu-
lates the bowels, and is the best kno ~n
remedy for dyarrhe4, whether arising
from teethine or other causes. Twen-

Man wants hut Iittls Hers Below

The poem entitled "The Wants of
Man." and in which this quotation oc-
ours, is composition by John Quincy
Adams. sixth president of the United
States. The first verse reads thus:
Man wants but lit lie here below,
But wants that little long.
It's not with me exactly SO,
But it's so in the Soug.
Ny wants are many, and, II told,
Would muster many = score;
And were each wish a mint of gold,
still should long for more.
The poem is in every edition of the
authors works. The two lines quoted
at the beginning, (and to which brief
allusion has already been made in this
column), are from Goldsmith's "Her-
nit" stanza 8; but Young in bis
Night Thoughts" Night viii, 1915,
has the couplet:
To know the world, not love her is thy point
She gives but little, and that little long,
And in another has the exact thought
in one line:
Man wants but little, nor that little long;
Here soon must he resign his very dust,
Which frugal nature lent him for an hour.

From the Belfast Examiner.

From the BelIaSC Examiner.
Unusual interest was excited in
Ann street Friday by the opening of
the American Meat Company's store
The crush was so great that the police
deemed it advisable on several occa-
sions to complain of the obstruction
of the footpath. The demand was far
in excess of1he supply. The manager
had provided fifty quarters of beef
and foIty sheep, and the counters
were almost bare at p. m. Purchas-
ers examined the beef and mutton
very infinitely, and the unanimous
verdict was that both were equal, If
not superior, to the home-raiSed meat.
The orders given included many from
the country districts. The prices
range from 4d. to Sd. per pound, some
choice joints selling at SD. and 3d..
and roasts at Sd. The Ann-street
branch has been designed to meet the
requirements of the Belfast working
classes, and now our people by the
thousands of families will eat meat
who formerly rarely tasted it. Stores
were opened in Dublin about six
weeks ago, and since then the ordin-
airy yictualers in the city have deemed
it advisable TO reduce their prices by
I'd and l I'D. in the pound.

Remarkable Exporin ,,,ss with Arseni,

Some important oeriments were
made by Doctors Va 3 han and Daw
son, with the view O. scertaining if
arsenious acid, if IN cted into the
mouth or rectum, aft i, death, would
'diffuse through the b,aly. Not only
81 it found that such Is the case, but
the diffusion is very extensive, and
these facts are regarded as having a
very important bearing on the subject
of arsenical poisoning. Thus. says
the Lancet, it can no longer be con
tended that, because arsenic is found
in quantity in tho fluids and It's
sues of the body therefore death was
due to its administration. And, agian,
a certain amount of immunity is given
to the would-be murderer, inasmsch
as there is the possibility of covering
homocidal act by using arsenic uath
the ostensible purpose of preserving
or embalmlng The body In this case,
however, there would be no chance OF
success if the post-mortem eXaInina
ton were conducted within a short
time of death, when there would be
! the usual signs of infiamatory action
of the alimentary canal; and again. Ill
the face of other circumstantIal evi-
dence, the fact of the accused having
resorted to such a particular mode OF
preserving the body would rather end
to confirm suspicion than to remove it

ed clause in the report advises the

THE GERMAN MISSION.

A letter from Mrs. George II. Pendle.
ton to lady friend in Cincinnati con
yeys the not astonishing information
that Mr.. Pcndleton is good deal dis
satisfied with his diplomatic position at
Berlin, and that his early resignation
need not prove surprise, The state
ment may or may not be wholly true,
but, as we say, there is nothing astonish
ing in it. If there is man in this coun-
try who is better fitted by education,
ability and knowledge of the world, to
represent our interests abroad than eX-
Senator Pendleton we do not know
who he is, and if there are reas ons why
the German Mission is peculiarly dis
tasteful and difficult to him, we may
rest assured that ii is none of his fault.
The truth of the matter is that be-
tween the stupid blunders of his pre-
decessor, Minister Sargent, the com
plexities of the American pork ques-
ton, the tom fool resolutions Of the last
House of Representative on the death
of Herr Lasker and the natural pig
headedness of Prince Bismarck, a
residence at the American Legation in
Berlin has become anything but agree
able.
We have no doubt that to a gentle
man Of Mr. Pendleton's fine tastes and
good breeding it is especially disagree
able, but it is very certain that If Mr..
Pendleton can't stand it no better man
can, so that in case of his resignation
the place is likely TO remain vacant for
some time,
1t is possible that Minister Pcndleton
may succeed by diplomatic flnesse and
the magnetism Of his social qualities,
not only in overcoming the eBismarcban
prejudice against the United States, but
in placing herelations of the two cOun-
tries upon better footing. He will do
so, if 1t is possible for anybody to do it,
Should he prefer to vOcate the post we
trust that our Government will make no
