do not attach as much Importance to
Prof. Shelton's experiments, brain VS..
corn, as some do. Neither bran nor corn
alone is a suitable food for any animal.
For young pigs the bran alone would be
the safest and best. For grown hogs, or
for those quite we'll grown. the corn Of
course would show the best results in
weight for time; but i'll the end it
would kill all the hogs, that is, if they
were fed long enough. With the bran
and corn properly mixed, they could be
fed long enough to meet the require
ments of q Chinese temple. The corn
fed hogs gained in weight SO pounds
more than the bran shorts fed lot. An
interesting question arises: Did this
excess of weight, which was fat, make
SO pounds more of real food or nutri-
ment? We must not desert common
sense in our haste to get under the
shadow of King Corn. My experiments
have been on the line of both bran and
corn or rye, to make the most gain and
the best meat. Doubtless the farmer
who believes in all corn will be
strengthened in the false theory that
corn is also best for the rearing of his
breeding stock

THE DAIRY.
Skim Cheese.

In commenting upon the recent action
of the New York State. Dalrymen's Asso-
citation, when they res olved that it is the
sense of the New York State Dairymen' S
Association, that Congress enact law
with the proper penalties for the infrac-
ton thereof, requiring all cheese made
from milk from which any portion of
the cream has been taken to be branded
as skim cheese, and to be sold as such,
Hords D09ryman says:
The State of Wisconsin already has
such law, on it's statute book; and we
think that cheese makers have pretty
generally provided themselves with
brands, to enable them to obey the law;
but We are told, aid have no doubt of
its truth, that when box with the skim
cheese brand on it has left the State,
that before it is put upon the market in
other States that the brand is scraped
off.
IF the law was National it would be a
protection to retail dealers who buy of
jobbers; but protection to consumers is
what is needed; and to get that, we see
but one way aside from letting every
body Judge Of cheese as they do of
cloth, learn to give correct judgment or
suffer; unless it be to compel the dealer
to put the article in wrapper that
guarantees quality; have legal stand
ard for the fat, the chief valuable ele-
IN ent in it; the same as some States and
cities have for milk, and then subject
the article sold to test, the same as is
done with salt, milk, OF kerosene Oil.
IF we touch this business at ALL so as
to try to shield consumers against fraud,
We opine we shall have to 90 to the core
of the matter, and have Dairy and Food
Commissioners who will 60 for the
thieves with very sharp legal sticks,
The interests of each State are SO de-
pendent upon those of each of the
others and all are so closely associated
and interested in each other, that it
seems almost useless to try to make any
law that is of real benefit Or help unless
it is made National. And why should it
not be so? Are We not sisterh God or
family of States? What is for the
greatest good to all ought to be what
each should seek. We favor National
legislation in this skim cheese" bust
ness, as in the matter of farmers insti-
tutes and all kindred subjects.

THE POULTRY YARD.
OYSTER Shells

Many farmer in the West who lives
far from the sea shore or from large
cities, where oyster shells are abundant,
may have at times felt that perhaps his
lack Of profit in poultry keeping was
due to the fact that he could not afford
to get oyster shells at the expense they
would be to him when obtained in such
small quantities as he would need. To
such we commend the following which
we clip from the Poultry Keeper:
The Poultry World takes up the mat
ter of feeding oyster shells to fowls, and
the editor expresses himself as follows:
Rash man is he who dares in these
days to speak good word for oyster
shells. Has not one poultry editor ex-
posed them? And did not writer,
years before this poultry editor published
his great expose, dare to doubt their use
in furnishing lime to fowls whose sys-
TENS were overloaded with that article
from the food they ate? And yet,
strange to say, the hens like ground oys-
ter shells just as we'll as they did before
these articles were written, and seem,
like the American public, as Barnum
once said, Us if they liked to be hum
bugged. They don't seem to have read
these articles. The trade in ground
oyster shells continues to be brisk, we
are Informed, and we know lots of
poultrymen who continue to feed this
useless rubbish. Unvitiated and unde-
PRAYED taste is very good index of
what the system requires. A vitiated
appetite is not. Hawtho rne has in one
of his inimitable stories q beautiful
maiden who is brought up to breathe
the odor from a poisonous plant until
she herself becomes, like the plant,
capable'of breathing death to others.
Her appetite, her taste has become
vitiated But fowls kept in the most
natural way and fed in the most natural
manner are very fond of ground oyster
shells. They don't exactly cry for them,
but they do 60 for them with great
eagerness. It would seem that they

Bee Notes.

The apiarist who locates his hives or
near where there are nothing but large
tall trees will have considerable trouble
hiving natural swarms. Some parties
have lost nearly every new swarm in such
localities.
BEEKEEPERs who have been somew hat
discouraged during the past season now
see that it pays to stick. The man with
no grit missed it, as usual, by abandoning
the business at the wrong time. Bee
keeping is fully as renumerative and
more interesting than most of the lines
of business requiring the same capital
and efforts.
The increased trade highly pleased us
each of the past seasons, but, after pre-
pairing an unusually large stock with the
determination of not getting behind
with orders, imagine our astonishme tent
when the demand run up to over 100, 900
sections per week right along and other
goods in proportion. However we learn
quite satisfactorily. While our retail
much larger number of dealers than ever
before.
The larger amount of honey they con-
tain the greater the danger of the combs
breaking down from intense heat. The
bees often leave the interior of the hive
almost entirely and cluster outside, as
much to save their combs from being
melted as to escape the heat Few
things are more destructive than when a
comb falls and the honey flowing on the
bottom boards closes the entrance and
prevents ventilation thus raising the
temperature and melting other combs

foun0 81 1hem Something that they felt
they wanted. May be they are only
good for grit. May be that gravel and
broken crockery and splintered glass
are just as good, but somehow they don't
seem to banker after these articles as
do after ground oyster shells. If grit is
all they want they have choice in the
kind of grit, and they show that choice
when the oyster shells are put before
them. We think it is wise to furnish
the hens what their appetites demand,
what their systems crave. We think the
poultrymen who do this will not fall
into any very serious error"
The World does not properly under
stand our position. We have not con-
demned oyster shells, or recommended
their abandonment. Our position is
simply this-that oyster shells are not
necessary to provide lime for egg shells
and we have shown that fact by giving
the compositions Of foods. AS to the
trade in oyster shells being brisk" etc.,
it is not logic. Fowls will eat anything
if educated to it. That they don't seem
to banker after broken crockery, etc., as
for shells" We deny emphatically That
shells will do no harm is true. That
they are cheap is true. That they will
be used is also true. But that they are
necessary needs confirmation. In some
sections the hens never see piece of
shell. That they prefer sharp pieces of
she'll and will not eat shell meal, (the
most available form is also true. Be-
cause shells are used, that hens eat
them, that poultrymen don't seem to
have read the articles" and that the
shell trade is brisk" does not prove or
disprove anything.

THE STOCK RANCH.
Hog Notes.

In recent number of the CultiratOr
and Country Gentleman. Mr.. F. D.
Curtis has this to say about hogs and
hog feeding: 1T is queer that Mr..
Harris. in the issue or Harris on the
Pig" which, it is said, brings the pig
question down to the present time, does
not mention Duroc- Jersey hogs. No
wonder your correspondent, d. Davis,
expresses his surprise. [ can account
for it in no other way than as an over
sight on the part of the author, who is a
man of extensive reading and intelli-
gence; so it cannot be from lack of any
knowledge of this breed.
1t may be interesting to note that the
DurOc-J ersey hogs are bred by the thou
sands, according to the standard of the
association of breeders, and that records
of pedigrees are now made in the third
volume of the registry. They ;e now
handsome hogs, and for utility are not
excelled by any. AS breeders and feed
ers they will beat any other breed. They
cross we'll with any breed, as they carry
to such offspring constitutional vigor,
lean meat and a remarkable digestion
and power of assimilation.
Geo. T. Powell, Client, Columbia Co.,
N. Y, remarked, short time ago, that
his crosses of Duroc-J erseys with
Chester Whites and Berkshires were COM
mended by every one who saw them.
Mr.. Powell is an extensive breeder of
hogs for sale and slaughter, wisely COM
bining pork making with his large fruit
business. The modern Duroc- Jersey
pig will fatten at any age, and all the
tiattering tales of early maturity and big
weights will apply to them, with the
chance of adding, on cheap foods. They
are the best foraging hogs in America Of
the improved Breeds The demand for
Duroc-Jcrsey bears for crossing upon
other breeds is rapidly increasing.
These remarks!will answer the questions
of Mr.. Davis in recent number.

Berlin dispatch The Emperor of
Austria arrived in this city Monday. He
was met at the station by Emperor
William, Prince Henry, Prince Bismarck,
Count Herbert Bismarck, and Gems Won
Moltke and Blumenthal. The meeting be-
tween the two Emperors was most cordial
After Francis Joseph and Prince Henry
had exchanged salutations the imperial
visitor shook hands with Prince Bis
marck. The party took carriages
and drove TO the castle by way of
Thiergarten and Inter den Linden.
Troops were stationed along the route
from the station to the castle The houses
were decorated with flags and bunting.
Immense crowds assembled along the route
and cheered the Emperors as they passed.
Statutes were fired by the artillery in hon or
of the Emperor of Austria. Upon arriv-
ing at the palace the Austrian Emperor
was welcomed by the Empress Augusta
and exEmpress Frederick.
The Reichsanzeiger, in an especially
prominent article, welcomed Emperor
Francis Joseph on behalf of the German
people as a friend and ally of Emperor
William. All the evening papers have
similar articles. The North German Ca
zette says the visit of the Austrian EN-
peror will further insure the peace of
Europe.
Well informed persons at St. Peters
burg do not attach any Importance
to the meeting between Emperor
William and Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. 1t is held that the relations between
Germany and Austria do not require
strengthening and that the Austrian
Emperor's visit is merely an act Of
courtesy

tube of thin sheet metal, open at the
bottom; or in a cylinder of fine wire
gauze, such as is used in miners safety
lamps (twenty- eight meshes to the inch J.
The oil reservoir should be of metal,
rather than of china or glass.
The oil reservoir should have no feed
ing place nor opening other than the
opening into which the upper part of
the lamp is screwed.
Every lamp should have a proper ex-
t1ngulshlng apparatus.
Every lamp should have a broad and
heavy base.
Wicks should be soft, not too tightly
plated.
Wicks should be dried at the fire be-
fore being put into the lamps.
Wicks should be only just long
enough to reach the bottom of the oil
reservoir.
Wicks should be so wide that they
quite fill the wick holder without hav-
ing to be squeezed into it.
Wicks should be soaked with oil be-
fore being lit.
The reservoir should be quite filled
with oil every time before using the
lamp.
The lamp should be kept thoroughly
clean, all oil should be carefully wiped
off, and all charred wick and dirt re-
moved before lighting.
When the lamp is lit the wick should
be at first turned down, and then slowly
raised.
Lamps which have no extinguishing
apparatus should be put out as follows:
The wick should be turned down until
there is only small Pickering flame,
