THE POULTRY-YARD,
Take Care of pOultry.

Who can explain why so many, care
full IN every particular about their. horses
cattle, and sheep, should be so neglect
full about their poultry, while the fact is
before them that these pay larger per
cent. of profit than either of the others?
While the cattle are warmly housed,
kept clean and fed by rule for profit, the
hens roost on the timbers of the barn,
the cart wheels. and benches, on the hog
pen, or out in the trees, wherever they
can find a chance. The food they get is
what they can steal from crib, Manager,
or trough, and neglect, with them, is the
order of the day. This can not be ex-
planned save that the force of habit and
the inherited tendencies are strong.
These men have not come TO look upon
the hens rs a source of sure profit. to
iced and protect in order that a rich
harvest may be realized. The fact that
the great law of compensation applies as
we'll to poultry as to COWS, and that WI
here receive in proportion as we give is
entirely overlooked. The cattle trade is
immense. There is money in the dairy.
but nowhere can such returns be realized
as from the well-managed poultry yard.
IN proportion to the cost. The egg
trade Is valuable when we study to meet
the demands of the exacting market of
to-day. The poultry market promises
sure returns when We grow the article
demanded by those who are ready to nav
Tor what pleases their fancy. The pos
siblllties of the industry seem unlimited

Graham Brandon tied his horse to a

Brandon by the mouutaiLecrs. They
handled the victim just snatcheG from

tenderness, and they stole furt1ve chances
at his preseryer TO see whether he was
angry with them. One of them famed
Smedlcy, as he lay on the blankets, an
other applied water to his head, and a
third, under the direction of Brandon,
gently pressed his chest, TO aid the re-
turn of respiration. The rescued man

about him. From the faces Of the noun

Baird named the items. one after an

idea that the possession of -Hardee's

with the rebellion, and listened atten-

To Restore the Freshness OF WorT
Clothing.

The mystery to many people how the
scourers of old clothes can make them
almost as good as new is explained in
the American Analyst rs follows: Take,
for instance, shiny old coat, vest, or
pair of pants Of broadcloth, cashmere,
or diagonal. The scourer makes a
strong, warm soapsuds, and plunges the
garment into it, souses 1t up and down,
rubs the dirty places, If necessary puts
it through second suds, then rinses il
through several waters, and hangs 1t to
dry on the line. When nearly dry, he
takes it in, rolls it up for an hour or
two, and then presses it. An old cotton
cloth is laid on the outside OF
the coat, and the iron passed over
that until the wrinkles are out; but the
iron is removed before the steam ceases
to rise from the goods, else they would
be shiny. Wrinkles that are obstinate
are removed by laying wet cloth over
them, and passing the iron over that. II
any shiny places are seen, they are
treated rs the wrinkles are; the iron is
lifted while the full cloud OF steam rises,
and brings the nap UP with it, Cloth
should always have a suds made espe-
cially for it, as if that which!has been
used for white cotton or wooden clothes,
lint will be LEFT in the water, and cling 10
the cloth. In this manner we have
known the same coat and pantalOOns to
be renewed time and again, and have
all the look and feel of new garments.
Good hroadclOth and its fellow cloths
will bear many washiugs, and look bet
ter every time because of them.

Cattle Lice.

Prof. Gillette, of the Iowa Experiment
Station, successfully applied kerosene
and lard and kerosene emulsion as
remedies for cattle lice. The kerosene
and lard were used in proportion of
one part of the former TO three parts of
the latter, melted and thoroughly stirred
in the hair. The emulsion used was
eight per cent. of kerosene, applied to
the animals with a small force pump.

Feeding Farm Horses.

a veterinary surgeon recommends that
those who have charge of horses, es-
pecially farm horses, be taught that the
stomach of horse is not like the rumen
of a COW, n mere receptacle for food,
but an essential organ of digestion of
limited capacity, which does not need to
be crammed in order to perform its
proper functions, and that it cannot be
50 treated without danger to the animal;
that the teeth of the horse are provided
for the purpose of masticating the food,
and that food which does not require
masticaiion should be sparingly, if ever
used. lie further recommends that no
horse be put to work Immediately after
full meal, and where a horse has done
q full days work it should be allowed to
stand in the stable until it is cool and
comfortable before being fed. \ little
water may be given, and if little good
hay be put into the rack it will occupy
his attention, and besides requiring
proper mastication Will further have
the effect to slightly stimulate the stem-
ach to secretion and prepare it for the
reception of the feed which is to follow.
Should horse require more food than
usual to supply the extra waste of it's
sues caused by hard work, give it by all
means, but let it be in excess of its
albuminoids or nutritious constituents,
and let the horse be fed oftener and not
IN increased quantities at a time

THE STOCK RANCH.
Excited Horses.

The best thing and only thing to do
when your horse is excited is to calm
him. In high state of excitement the
horse does not comprehend what you
want Every one has seen team where
one horse would go forward and the
other fall back. All the whipping and
"hollering" that hundred men can do
will not start such a team once in 1000
times. The team is excited. The horses
show that by every action, and lashing
and loud talk only makes matters worse.
Calm the horses. Time Will be saved if
half an hour is taken to quiet any ex-
cited horse. An excited horse is just
like an excited child. We have seen a
child scolded and "jawed" at until it
could not comprehend what was wanted
of it to save its life. Stop scolding and
calm the child, and the work you desire
of it Will soon be done. 1t is idle to ex-
pect an animal to do your bidding as
long as it cannot understand your

The first Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton in America was established at Mid
dletown, Conn, III the chemical labora-
tory of Wesleyan University, in 1875.
The example was speedily followed else
where; in 1880 four were III operation,
and in 1887 there were some seventeen
of these institutions in fourteen States.
In that year Congress made the enter
prise National by an appropriation of
$50 per annum to each of the States
and Territories which have established
agricultural colleges or agricultural de-
partments of colleges. This has led to
the establishment of new stations or
the increased development of stations
previously established under State au-
thority, so that there are to- day forty
six, or, counting branch Citations, fifty
seven agricultural experiment stations
in the United States. Every State has
at least one station, several have two,
and one has three. Before provision
had been made by the last Congress for
the admission Of the new States Dakota
had established one within her boun0a-
ries, and several other Territories are
preparing to do likewise.

MEMBERS OF the Farmers Alliance in
South Carolina and Georgia have con-
tracted for 4 200, 600 yards of cotton bag
ging. This is an outcome of the recent
movement against the jute- bagging
business. The amount of money which
this contract calls for is about half a
million of dollars.
The Department of Agriculture is
preparing for thorough test of all the
various kinds of sorghum grown in diff
ferent parts of the world The assist
ance of the State Department has been
invoked, and circular has been issued
to our consular officers requesting them
to collect and forward to the de-
partmcnt a small sample of the seeds of
each variety of the sorghum grown in
their respective districts.
IN recent interview, Secretary of
Agriculture Rusk said, in speaking of
Southern farming: Il can't understand
how it is that farming in Virginia is not
more profitable, and that farm land is
not more valuable. The land is good,
the markets are near, the climate is ex-
cellent for the crops; the land ought to
be worth 800 an acre in places where
it is worth only $40. | don't under
stand it. and I'm going to find out why
it is.
FARM HOUSES present desolate com
fortress appearance without shade trees,
but it is possible to go to the other ex-
treme and have the shade too dense or
too near the dwellings. Sunlight is a
great purifier, and for sanitary reasons
the living and sleeping rooms should
have the benefit of the suns direct ray
some portion of each clear day. A New
York physician says that during an cpl
demic of diphtheria in that city there
were five times as many cases on the
sb 4dy as on the sunny side ofthe street.
PROF. w. A. HENRY says in the Breed
ers' Gazette: "Dairying is hard work.
Cows must be MIXED and fed twice a
day seven days in the week. Why
should a man do this year after year,
treating all his cows alike, when por-
tion of the herd is steadily working to
bring him III debt at the end of the year,
and another portion yielding good
profits? l will guarantee that ninety
nine farmers out of one hundred who
will start thorough investigation to
determine the merits of each animal in
the herd will welcome the travelling cat
tie buyer to the farm within one month

Profit in SKINNED Milk.

1t is said in the columns of the Maine
Farmer: We believe there is no way
the skim milk will net so good returns
as fed at once TO the COWS which gave
it This is not one of the points about
which we have merely belief, but we
actually know it. We have seen it used
in this way in Chautauqua County, New
York, where it has been the common
practice for years and years, and there
are no better money making dairymen
in the world. We do not say they make
a fine article of butter in this way, for
they do not, but it is because they have
universally the villainous habit of set
thing the milk in shallow pans for forty
eight hours and until the milk begins
to clabber at the bottom, then they run
the skinned milk into vat and feed
from there, thus letting it get more than
half rotten before the COW gets it, thus
of course, tainting the milk with q
cowy odor. But if fed fresh when
sweet OF nearly so, there is no more
profitable use can be made of skinned
milk.-AmericdR DGiIymGR.

Max ng Good Butter.

Wisconsin, for instance, produces an
nually about 81, coo, 900 pounds of but
ter. Not more than six or eight million
pounds can be classed as first class, the
balance goes into the general category
of ordinary farm butter What Is the
matter with it? The milk as it came
from the COW was as rule all right.
Clearly, then, ii is the Judgment that
handled the milk after it left the COW,
that made the butter and then sold it,
that is to blame for the wretched result
What is the reason that these farmers
and their wives are content TO go along
year after year doing such Improbable
work? Simply a lack of good dairy
Judgment, that is all. In the first place
a vast majority have no judgment Of
what constitutes real fine market butter.
good way to get that judgment would
be to send to Chicago or some other
good butter market, and buy small
package of gilt-edge butter, such as
brings the highest market price, and set
to work to seriously study the color,
style of package, grain of texture, and
above all the flavor. There is Just
where the pinch comes. The taste of
the farmer or his wife may be suited
with their own butter, but the market
taste is not. A little study like this, ut
small cost, will correct a lifetime of err
roneous notions.-H OGrds DajrymaH.
