Nnntllatinr the Hens.

Ventilation, properly attended to, is
essential TO the health of the fowls in
winter, and it tends to increase their
egg laying. Every hennery should have
a venulator, but it should always be
closed tight on the approach of cold
weather Many ventilators do more
harm than good The idea is TO keep
the air circulating only when the wealth
er is warm. During cold weather sutfi-
Gent ventilation can be given by throw
ing tho doors and windows open in the
day time If impure Odors seem to suf-
focate the inhabitants of the house the
one thing needful is little work in
cleaning ont the place and then in dis
tTibuting some absOrbents around Cold
winds and drauShts from ventilators
cause the death of more fowls than almost
ANYTHING elso in the improved sort OF
henhouses. Ventilation Is essential to
the health Of the fowls, and, hence, to
their egg laying, but it can only be OBJ
tanned by litCle forethought and care.

the air accordingly, 1t will pay In the

We cali the attention of our readers to
the Dorset horned sheep, rs shown in
the illustration. Both rams and ewes
are horned. The Dorset belongs to the
family Of sheep that produce wool Of
medium length 1t is excellent for comb
ing. The wool Is soft, white and clean,
and weighs on the average about six
pounds to the fleece When the early
lambs are marketed the fleecos are
sheayed off and sold as lambs wool.
1t is not, however, as a wool sheep,
but as spring lamb producer that we
commend the Dorset TO the attention of
breeders. 1t is only beginning TO be
known in this country, but the breed
has been a noted one in the south of

thought that the alliance people would
make stronger showing in the south
than the north gives them credit for.

Will Enforce Collections.

The people will approve of the efforts
of the county commissioners in enforc-
ing the collection of the seed wheat and
feed notes. The farmers who secured
this assistance have had good crops, and
have been able to pay off some debts and
got supplies for their families, which
they could not have done without the
help from the commissioners. It is due
to them and the taxpayers that these OBJ
legations be promptly squared up and it
is believed that in most cases such will
be done without further delay. The
amount outstanding is about $4,000.
District Attorney Conklin has been au-
thorized to enforce the collection OF all
seed liens for grain furnished ia the
spring of 1891, as we'll as the feed notes
of 1890. He has notified all who we're
furnished with the seed grain and feed
as soon as threshing is completed ex-
pense Of foreclosure will be saved by
paying the amount of the lien to County
Treasurer Flint. Any person selling or
,dlsposing of any grain upon which the
county has lien, without first paying
such lien, Will be prosecuted, criminally,

152 of the Laws of 1890, and the amend

not include flour. The net decline of
price during the week was quite small,
considering the large receipts, rain IN the
winter wheat belt, and good threshing
weather IN the northwest. The price
opened in Chicago, Monday, the 10Th,
cash wheat 9515, and closed Saturday,

to be divided by a verticle line into
liquids OF two different shades

figures then shown on the scale indicate
the per cent of sugar contained in the

cent, but some specimens from the COL
lege experimental grounds which we're
being analyzed Friday showed Il per
cent Of sugar.
Professor Ladd says that the general
run of beets do not show so high per
centage OF sugar this year as last, prob
ably on account of there having been so
much wet weather this season. Another
thing he has noticed is that the sugar
appears to be formed at the end of the
season, beets which we're pulled early
not containing nearly as much sugar as
those which were allowed togrow longer.
In the case of those which were caught
by the frost, however, this rule does not
apply.
