MONEY IN POULTRY.

The man who sells eggs when prices
are high, says the Homestead. and sets
them when prices are low. is generally
the man who makes the money. The
man that raises pure-bred stock, raises
broilers and roasters from the culls and
sells eggs for Matching, is the man that
has the profit. 1t is impossible to make
much money from one branch alone.
Broilers, eggs and pure-bred are good
adjuncts to each other, but should never
be run in a single branch alone. The
man that personally oversees. or does the
work, is the man who makes money.
Hired men are apt TO be careless. and are
an expense.

against the greed Of capitalists foreign
and domestic. We permit the distiller to
store his products in bonded warehouses
where it may remain for years without
the payment Of the tax, until he finds q
market to suit him. Surely the producers
of the grain and cotton are as well worthy
OF consid deration as the distiller. The
government practically loans the distiller
the internal revenue tax due on his liquors
until he can find market, and why not
exercise the same care for the the farmers
and planters Of the country? But mono
poly objects to the scheme because Of the
expense. How very economical all at
once. just because the tillers Of the soil
asesto be benefited! The government par
tiAliy repudiated its own currency until it
was only worth forty cents on the dollar,
sald then converted it at par into bonds
at premium, and not one word of OBJ
jection was raised BY monopoly because
il was expensive to the wealth producers

ultimately, to the knowledge that would
enable us to produce cheaply much
more valuable fiber than that required; in.
making twine and binding grain. We
were shown by Mr.. Hartshorn the draw
ings and parts Of a machine of his inven-
ton for breaking and cleaning flax, which
in our opinion might be used, with some
slight improvements and additions, for
separating the seed and strawa4without
breaking the fiber, and tiaN straw so
treated might be made to yield besides the
seed, a fiber equal if not more valuable
than the present seed crop.
There is one argument in favor Of the
establishment by the state of such an in
dustry that inpresses itself with great
force upon the committee. The establish
ment Of such industry would inevitably
provoke the hostility of the twine trust
and lead to combinations that would al
most inevitably bankrupt the enterprise
But such an establishment owned by the
state could only be encouraged by an at
tempt, would simply result in giving the
people who own the manufactory cheap
twine, and we could afford to allow our
mills to lie idle, us what we might loose
in this way would be more than made up
in the reduced cost of twine to the farmer.
The cost of a single system of machin-
cry for the manufacture Of twine from
flax would be probably twenty thousand
dollars.
From all that we can learn your COM
mittee are decidedly i'll favor of the i'm,
mediate establishment by the state Of an
establishment for the manufacture Of
binding twine at the penitentiarys at Sioux
Falls, to consist of not less than two sys-
TENS of machinery, and we recommend
that the governor present the matter to
our next legislature, with q recommended
tion that steps be taken at once to estab.

sCAB ON SHEEP.

Mr.. Cass, of Kansas, gives the follows
ing on this plague of the flock:
Scab is caused by a spider-like parasite
called the acarus. 1t is acarus which pro-
duces itch in man and mango in other
animals. but the sheep acarus or scab
mite will not. live on any other animal.
A female acarus will Sburrow into the
skin of a healthy sheep and within ten or
twelve days lay eight to fifteen eggs.
which are quickly Matched, and the
young in turn are laying eggs within the
next ten or twelve days, until within
three months the increase from one female
has, according to reliable authorities,
reached the vast number of I 100000.
A close observer will detect the first in
dicatiOns of scab in about two weeks aft
er. exposure to contagion. One thorough
dipping with tobacco and sulphur. or
other safe dip, will kill all living scab
mites on the sheep. A second dipping ten
days later will kill all that were unhatch-
ed at the first dipping and leave the flock
clean, provided the work has been prop
erly done. Some, to insure success give a
third dipping ten days later. After the
first dipping the sheep must be removed
to fresh, uninfected yards. pastures, ETC.,
OF all the labor of dipping will be lost;
they will again become infected. Frost.
|only, will effectually cleanse barn,
yard, or pastures from the infection Of
scab.

BETTER PROSPECTS AHEAD.

Z . :.
The Vest investigating committee tells
us that cows and heifers have been market
ed too freely. That was natural. Spec
ulators were getting out of the business.
People who do not know that the cow is,
necessary to the permanent improvement
and prosperity of the farm, sold cows.
People in debt sold cows they had bets
ter have sold anything else. People Wfft'
had interest to pay sold cows and heifers.
This is all changed since the senator
wrote his incisiye report. Cows in mar
ket are quoted Scarce, very scarce. The
grasses are growing as usual, and call for
cows, SO to speak. Good cattle sell better,
and come by the way Of cows. Cattle
are dropping behind population FAST and
cows are necessary to get cattle. The
ranch has sold off it's surplus and will
only sell now as grass is killed off by
grazing. or as settlers crowd back the
exploiter of free grass. The dairy pays
fairly well, and is the great farm center.
around which profits revolve. 1t needs
cows. For wears Iowa will not have
enough of ggAl cows, while tie poor stuff
will be sent IL market. There is no bet
ter sign of tile cattle market than scarcity
of cows i'll the sale yards. The desire to
get permanent stocks of cattle for the
farm turns attention to the cow. 1t is a
very hopeful sign. Soon Iowa will have
no corn to sell to the people in the east
and abroad, because the cow and her
calves will need all that is grown. The
cheap cow of the past a6monishes sellers
to get introduced to the COW and to cults
vate her acquaintance. This is a most.
pregnant fact connected with Iowa farm
ing. . 1t is not much noticed by journals
of commerce nor by statesmen, but of the
turns of events upon which the future
hinges, few are of 50 much Importance as
that western farmers have ceased selling
off their cows and young heifers. The
panic is over. and good times for cattle
men are coming. The cow is at work.

Where liz Always Rains.

d. r. Parkham tells, in the Savannah
News, of a curious phenomenon in
Chattahoochee County, a. place where
rain tails perpetually. The spot is To-
Gated on s. little knoll in thin wood,
on the Shipp place, two miles from
Thad. Mr.. Parkham says the discovery
was first made last Thursday, and that
rain has been falling steadily on the
knoll since that time. The downfall
covers space of SO feet square. This
space is perfectly wet, and the leaves on
the ground are full of water. Mr.. Park
ham says he visited the place with u.
A. McBryde at noons Tuesday. There
was not cloud to be seen in the sky,
and the leaves everywhere, except on
the square, were as dry as finder.
81 stood with the space between me
and the sum-" said Mr.. Parkman, 'and
saw the raindrops coming steadily
down from the sky. / held out my
handkerchief and it was soon saturated
with water"
Mr.. Parkhan says that erybody
who hears about the phenomenon is
skeptical, but that the many who have
visited the place have gone away con-
WINGED. No one has yet offered an ex-
PLANTATION of the mysterious rainfall.
Mr.. sParkham suggests that some power
full unknown substance attracts the
moisture from the mosphere.

Puts Something in the Plate"

An Irishman. who might almost be
said to be but half-civilized, for he
hailed from a very remote part of Ire
land, came to London, and on Sunday
was conducted to church by friend,
says faithful chronicler.
After the service the usual collection
took place. 1t happened that the Irish
man was the first person to whom the
gentleman who was collecting handed
the plate. Pat stared at the plate, and
his friend, noticing his bewilderm ent,
whispered:
''Put something in the plate.''
''Phwat shall Oh put in ?" anxiously
inquired the Irishman.
"What you can spare" was the an
swer.
Pat dove his hand into his pocket,
fumbled about bit, and then, placing
something like half an ounce of black
tobacco (loose) in the plate, said to the
gentleman who held it:

Gate. pillars in India.

In most countries caterpillars are re-
garded as q pest. In British India,
how ever, different ideas upon the sub
ject appear 10 prevail, for the entomo-
logical committee of the Bombay
Natural History Society has actually
gone to the length of establishing a
great caterpillar farm" at Poonah. for
the deliberate propagation Of these de-
structive insects. erpillar-rearing,
according to the official report which
the society has recently issued to the
public, is not SO easy as might be in
1erred from the astounding faculty
shown by these creatures In rearing
themselves. Being new to their work
the caterpillar farmers made mistakes.
They unw;sely kept all their insects in
the same Enclosure. The result, in the
words of the report, was "that they got
completely mixed, SO that in many in
stances nobody was able to say with
certainty which image resulted from
which 'pupa,' or to identify the 'pupa'
with it's 'larya'"

wedding to another, and puts rice in
places where it will embarass the young
married couple overreached himself at
a swell ceremony. recently, in which
a sweet New Haven girl was veryssmuch
interested. Not content with fastening
with wire an old pair of shoes on the
carriage which was to bear the two
away, he put rice in every conceivable
place in the groom's wardrobe. and eli

rice swelIed when thoroughly soaked in
the writing fluid and then the little YES

ally carries in her reticule. It is safe to
say the stupid man will never be invit-

acute infectious type, arising from some
unknown cause apart from recognized
telluric or atmospheric conditions, and
that it's disse miDation was turthered by
elements of contagious nature. DR..
Norman Kerr looked upon the disease
not as influenza at all, but as great
outbreak of malarial poisoning.

Making Headlines.

Chicago also has twilight club, desig-
mated as Sunset, which determines the
problems Of life and society," says the
st. Paul Globe. At a recent sympos1-
UNI the newspapers came under review,
and one of the philosophers descanted
disapprovingly upon the system OF
headlines In vogue. The offensive
phase as specially notable at Chicago,
OF course. The grumbler lived in a
suburban town, and, In coming In on
the car, he had often been disturbed
by the apprehension that some person
would note the headlines before him.
One might suppose he was reading
some nauseous divorce trial or account
of prize fight. Allowing for any loud
ness required by the perverted Chicago
taste, there may often be room for i'm
provement. The reputation of paper
is at times largely made by it's head
lines. 1t will be remembered that the
former management of Chicago paper
SO shocked the public sense with sacri-
legious headings that the paper is still
viewed with apprehension in many
circles. Instances have been noted Of
journals going to an absurd extreme in
filling too much space for the character
Of the news. In recent times there ls q
system and art in headlines. 1t is one
of the departments of newspaper arch
itecture, in which skill and taste are in
the highest demand. No bungler or
slow coach can fill the position. 1t is
rapid work. The salient points in the

There must be no misleading or failure
to strike the live interior Of the mar
rations. There may be indications of
of exhileration over events that the pa
per is known to be representative of,
but the reader exacts good faith with
him. He must not be victimized by the
headlines. They must be pleasing to
the eve. 1t is no small feature of first
