Hen Notes.

AASA
The Central experiment farm at Otta-
wa, Cam, has been in the poultry bust.
ness to some extent, and the following
sensible rules are formulated from its
experience:
Make hens lay when eggs are highest.
Breed stock when eggs are cheap.
Keep a non-sitting breed to lay when
the sitters are Matching, and thus pay
expenses of the latter.
Breed as many chickens as possible
and as early as possible. They all repre-.
sent so much money.
Keep all the pullets. They are worth
81 each as prospective winter layers.
Kill or otherwise dispose of all hens
after three years Of age.
Breed the best flesh formers for market.
Feed them up to as great a weight as
possible.
Well fattened, we'll dressed poultry
will bring the best prices from the best
customers.
If not accustomed to poultry, begin
with a small number. Learn to make {
success Of the few, then go on with {
larger number.
Do not forget the little essentials tt
success, such as lime, gravel, meat
plenty of clean water, green food, dus'
bath. etc., regularly supplied to layers.
Keep strict account of every cen
of expenditure and receipts. Charge tn
poultry with all expenses, and credi
them with all receipts. The dropping
at Is cents per barrel will go a long wa,
toward paying for the feed.

The Wisconsin Agricultural station
has been making some careful expert
ments on the value of bone and phos-
phate food for hogs, with the result that
when a hog is fed on phosphate foods
mixed in with its other rations a saving
of nearly 20 per cent. of corr is effected,
and the animals bone strength is dou-
bled.
The experiments were made as fol-
lows:
The plan of the experiment was to
feed corn to several lots of growing pigs
in addition to water and salt. The first
lot received nothing additional, the Sec
ond was fed a little ground bone daily,
the third was allowed free access to a
trough of hardwood ashes. AS the av-
erage of the three trials: where neither
ashes nor bone meal was fed $40 pounds
of corn meal were required to produce
100 pounds Of gain with the pigs.
Where ashes were fed 491 pounds
only were required. Where bone
meal was fed 487 pounds of bone
meal were required to produce 100
pounds of gain. Where no ashes or bone
meal were fed the bones of the pigs were
quite weak. The thigh bones cut out
from the hams were broken in two by an
average pressure of 301 pounds where no
ashes or bone meal were fed. Where
ashes were fed, 5S1 pounds of pressure
were required, while the bones from the
bone meal fed pigs required $50 pounds
pressure to break each bone. The thigh
bones Of the pigs were then burned, and
those receiving NO bone meal or ashes
contained 10Y grams Of mineral matter;
those from the hogs getting ashes gave
$50 grams; those getting bone meal gave
165 grams.

REMEDY FOR SAND OR QUARTER
CRACK IN HORSES ROOFS.

The Shaped Foot Liable to BE Affected
with Quarter Crack-Flaxseed Poultices
and a Blacksmith Who Understands
His Business Can Effect a Cure.
The foot liable to this accident is gen.
orally narrow heeled, long from the coro-
net to the toe, and the sole is concave.
It may occur in either the inner or outer
quarter. When in the inner quarter,
where it is most frequently found, the
inner half of the heel is high and the
commissure deep. At first it may look
insignificant, but if allowed to continue
it grows down more irregularly. and
with irregular fractured edges. It sell
dom happens on the hind foot. When
quarter crack occurs in the outer quar-
ter the conditions are merely reversed.
Old works on this subject call it sand
crack, probably because it was supposed
to be caused by sand OF gravel working
up through. This is a mistake. There
are few injuries so easily corrected as
ordinary quarter crack, if treated prop
erly and before it has been allowed to
90 too far, and even then it is easily
handled. It could never be caused by
treads, unless the character of the foot
predisposed to it, when a tread or other
injury might hasten it's occurrence, a
seam or crack, the result Of a tread or
overreach, being an entirely different
pathological condition from ordinary
quarter crack.
When quarter crack presents itself,
soften the hoof well with a poultice for
a night or two, then have the smith re.
move the shoe. AS the inner heel was
high and the outer heel low, this caused
the upper border of the hoof at the
inner quarter to crowd against the pas.
tern; consequently, to correct this it will
be necessary to lower the inner quarter,
This will evidently raise the outer hee
till it is equal with the inner. 1t viii
also balance the hoof, so that the upper
part of the wall at the inner quarter
will not crowd the %subjacent structures
but permit Of an unembarrassed circu'
lation all around the coronet. The mex
step will be to clean out the sole ani
commissure a little, and foreshorten the
toe; then level the foot so that an cas-,
bearing may be got well back on the out
side heel, but on the inside heel there mus
be no bearing behind the crack; tn,
smith will now carry the foot forward
and thin the wall above the inside toe, ant
rasp the edges of the crack perfectly thin
narrowing the heel, but must not draw
blood or in any way make any additional
soreness. Then he should rasp as thin a!
possible all the wall behind the crack ant
apply an easy fitting shoe. Every night
or as often as necessary, apply a small
poultice to the crack, stuff the foot will
faxseed poultice, and the crack canno
help repairing. I very seldom find i

WHAT SOUTH DAKOTA WANTS.
Sound Sense on Mixed Farming and
Stock Raising.

Sound Sense on Mixed Farming and
Stock Raising.
Henry B. Blackwell, of Boston, lect-
ured in South Dakota this fall and
wrote his views Of the country to his
own paper, The Woman's Journal. He
said the three things most needed by the
young state were water, wool and wom-
an suffrage. He writes:
AS a resident of Massachusetts, raised
in Ohio and familiar with the west as
man and boy for fifty years, l desire to
say a few plain words through these col
umns to the people of South Dakota.
1. I am delighted with the soil, the
climate and the people. They are not
surpassed by those of any state. But the
conditions of the country are peculiar
and need different methods. In the
southeastern counties and in those bor-
dering on Minnesota farmers are pros
pering. But west and north of Huron l
have found general depression and dis
tress. For want Of rain in many locali-
ties there has not been a good grain crop
since 1885, and for two years wheat,
corn and flax have failed. AS a conse-
quence hundreds of the American popu-
lation have returned east, and hundreds
more are going this fall, carrying with
them wherever they go a tale of discour-
agement.
In some Of the "dry' counties 1 have
driven twenty miles without passing a
single inhabited house, with deserted
claim shanties and old breakings over
grown with weeds everywhere in sight.
Yet all this disappointment and loss
might have been avoided if the climate
had been understood. If each settler
had brought twenty-five sheep, two
brood mares and five heifers, and if ev-
cry four settlers had united in buying a
moving machine and a horse rake all
would have prospered. There is not a
county in the state where enough grass
will not go to waste this fall to support
twice the present population if only it
could be utilized.
But the craze for breaking land and
sowing grain has crippled hundreds of
farmers, and the purchase of costly ma
chinery for thrashing, on credit, has
sealed their fate. 1t is time for the press
of South Dakota to call a halt. Even in
Iowa and Illinois, farmers who rely on
selling grain seldom grow rich, while
those who feed sheep, horses, cattle and
hogs always prosper. There is no better
country in the world than South Dakota,
eve without irrigation, for sheep and
horses. Hay can be cut and stacked fol
eventy-fve cents a ton, which is worth
from SEQ to $25 a ton in Massachusetts,
And this means that twenty animals Car
be raised in South Dakota at the cost Of
raising one in the east.
2. Artesian wells for artificial irriga
ton, next to sheep, horses and cattle
will prove the best investment. The
ge0logist Of the state university assure!
me that one-third the area east of thu
Missouri river and extending indefinitely
westward "a be fertilized by fowins
wells. These will cost time and money
but both will soon be supplied if tn
present needless encouragement can b.
checked, and if immigration and capita
at low interest can be had.

OCEAN CANALS IN WAR TIMES.

Lord Charles Beresford has given British
statesmen something TO think about by ex-
pressing the opinion that the Suez Canal
cannot be counted on RS route to India in
time of war. This opinion is based upon
the fact that at epoint in the canal where
the banks are rocky a small quantity of dy
Mantle would throw a mass of rock into
the channel and make it impossible. If
this objection is good against the Suez Canal
it would be against any other canal confeet-
ing two oceans. But it would seem that
small Notifications at exposed points would
prevent such operations as Lord BereSford
considers fatal to the usefulness of the ca
nal. England has at present three routes to
her possessions in Asia. The old route lies
around the Cape of Good Hope, and CORE
spends to the Cape Horn route from the At
lantic to the Pacific coasts in the United
States; the second is the Suez Canal route.
to preserve which England has at various
times in the last twenty years been ready to
90 to war, and the third is the route through
Canada. or the three the Suez route, if it
can be kept open, is vastly preferable. The
Cape of Good Hope route is not only long,
but is exposed to hostile cruisers the entire
way, and the Canadian route involves 5000
miles of land travel, to saysnothing of the
portion OF the year IN which SHOWS render
it impossible. 1t would seem, therefore,
that the Suez route was worth preserving at
the cost of fertilization of exposed points
and guard to keep hostile parties off. OF
course any route is subject TO the chances of
war. If an overpnwering force should
effect landing in Egypt it would take the
Notifications and either hold the canal or
render it impossible. The conditions Lord
Beresford speaks of may also apply to the
Nicaragua Canal. 1t has been urged that
the possession of a short route from the At
lantic to the Pacific Coast nearly doubles
the practical strength Of our navy for defen-
sive purposes. When that canal Is COM
pleted vessels may be quickly taken from
one coast to the other according as either
might be in the greater danger Of attack.
But it is well understood that the canal
must be fortified to be reliable resource In
time of war. The great saving in distance
warrants any necessary expenditure to keep
the canal open. Unless the route can be
held securely its existence would be rather
menace than resource the United States.
