When poultry is raised for market.
the poultryman can learn much in a
short time by inspecting the market
stalls. The object should be to learn
just what the buyers demand, and then
aim to supply them. 1t will be found
that all markets are not alike, and that
close observation on the different mar
kets, and also on the demands Of the
consumers, as well as the seasons when
certain kinds of poultry are preferred,
will give the farmer or poultryman an
advantage which will enable him to Sc
cure not only better prices, but how to
breed for the best results in selling poul-
try 1t is the buyer who is to be salts
fed, as he fixes the price according to
the quality and his desires. II yellow
legs on poultry are preferred in certain
markets, and the buyers are willing to
pay something extra for such, it is to
the interest of the farmer TO raise fowls
with yellow legs. The best breed for
his purpose is that which he finds will
give the buyers tie greatest satisfaction,
and i'll SO regulating his breeding he is
not liable to err.

rode to the front with one of the Michi-
gan cavalry regiments. Plain almost
to ugliness, ungainly of figure, uned-
ucated, of the humblest origin and
homely of speech, yet true to her
work, always where most needed. no
matter how great the danger, often
where neither surgeon or ambulance
corps dare venture, to the "boys, when
racked with disease or mangled by shot
or shell, her cherry Irish brogue came
as sweetest music and her soft, deft
fingers, as they applied the lint or
bandage, seemed to distil healing
balm. Many a mothers darling boy
gazed his last upon her honey,
motherly, tear-stained face and died
the easier for it.
The army nurse was everywhere
loved and respected. Every soldier
was her knight and champion. and it
was, indeed, bold man that would
dare offer disrespectful word to her
or of her, for swift punishment would
surely follow.
No such number of women (and there
were thousands of them) ever passed
through such an ordeal as they with
such utterly unsullied honor. Many
of them fell victims to their devotion
and filled soldiers graves. A few re-
turned and became happy wives and
mothers. Many, worn out with dis
ease and overwork, have since died.

want. Others, still alive, are suffer
ing in deepest poverty, living re-
proach to the men they cared for and
to the great and glorious nation they
SO faithfully served, while few are
living a comfortable, happy old age.
But wherever they are now be sure of
one thing, when the trumpet shall
sound for the last great roll-call the
army nurse will be round at the front
to take her place with Gods holy
angels. %. S. Whitmore, IN Inter

if possible. Milk containing large butter
globules produces cream that will churn
quicker than that containing small glO-
bules. Select the cows for a special pur-
pose. A man starting cotton factory
does not purchase machinery for manu-
featuring wooden goods. If you expect
butter from COWS secure butter-prOduc-
ing cows, not beefy ones.
Nervous excitement will cause the COW
to withhold her milk. Rough treatment
of; cows produces nervous excitement,
which arrests the natural process of ma
ture. Fright interrupts the normal con-
dition, causing shrinkage in the flow
of milk.
Wet weather causes decrease in the
quantity Of butter because the pasture
food of the cows is less nutritious. The
quality of the cows food affects the
quality of her milk and butter. Cows
require more shelter now than they
did years ago, because they are more
delicate than they were, as rule
better bred, and finer in constitutional
structure.
Sailing cream will not prevent it from
becoming butter. Butter that is colored
will not keep as we'll as that which is
uncolored. Time DEVELOPS chemical
changes in the color, which is a foreign
substance. The quicker cream can be
ripened uniformly the better the butter
will be. There are two or three kinds
OF white caps in butter. One is dried
cream, another is caseine. Cream should
be churned at a higher degree of temper
allure in winter than in summer, since it
is more viscous. A pan that is half
filled with milk will give better results
in cream tEan one filled. Fill a pan half
full Of milk, then add another third of
cold water. Set the cream at 90 degrees,
or as near as you can get it, and have
the water as cold as possible. More and
quicker cream will result.
The strippings are the richest part of
the milk, because they are the milk last
secreted, and have taken up some solids
that were absorbed in the udder from the
milk which has been first drawn.
Oftentimes the cause Of streaks in but
ter is the unequal distribution of salt in
it. Reworking it after it has stood
awhile, after being once worked, will
also cause streaks.
Frost Injuries butter Butter that has
been frozen soon gets off flavor when eX-
posed to a warmer temperature. Butter
kept but short time in cold storage soon
spoils after exposing it in a warmer
temperature. Keep Your milk, cream and
butter away from severe cold and frost.
1t is not desirable to mix cream little
sour with sweet cream in butter making.
You will lose All the sweet cream you put
in. 1t will all 60 off in the buttermilk.
Never mix sweet and sour cream just
before churning. Hold the first skim
ming at low temperature until the sec
Ond is added, then ripen evenly.
Cream and milk can be churned to-
gether, but it takes longer, and the but
ter will not come evenly. 1t is a costly
method and should not be practiced. Ii
cream is churned before the proper time
it will not be of perfect flavor, and more
time will be req ured to churn the cream.

to you the language of our President

THE POULTRY-YARD.
An Egg Machine

Fowls are not a speciality on my farm.
[ seldom keep over thirty or forty and a
mixed lot at that, but | have eggs the

they bring 45c a dozen. My success
attribute to two causes: First, [ never
shut them up, having my garden we'll
away from the barns and the front and
SIDE yard for flowers we'll picketed, and
second, the egg machine is what does
the rest. The fowls being always in
healthy, natural condition, the result of
freedom, they only need food and pro-
lection from the inclemencies of the
weather to do well. Green and animal
food they find in abundance during eight
months Of the year and the remainder of
the time / furnish it to them as I do
grain the year around. The protection

The Empty Sleeve.


You may talk about the pathos
In the hardships of the war,
You may talk about the glory
Oh the cause that you fought for,
But there's nothing SO pathetic
As the lesson we receive
From the quiet, idle Tapping
OF the useless empty sleeve. ~
You may talk about the marches,
The scant rations and "hard tack,n
OF "the last drop in the canteen,n
And "the empty haversack;n
There's nothing SO convincing in
The impressions that you leave
AS the mute and speeches. record
OF the useless empty sleeve
You may speak of Southern prisons,
But their horrors could not last,
OF the roar and din of battle.
And. thank God, that, too, has passed
But we see a grim reminder
Every morn and noon and eve
In the living, speaking presence
OF the useless empty sleeve.
Soldiers deck the graves of comrades
With the laurel that they won,
Poets sing of gallant heroes
And of deeds of great renown,
But there's naught in poets anthems,
Or the chaplets that they weave,
That can beat the touching story
OF the useless empty sleeve.

State University, after making q thor
ough investigation of the reported dam
age done to the wheat fields by a new
pest, says that all fields in which the seed
wheat was drilled in last fall after prop
er preparation Of the soil by blowing or
by previous thorough cultivation of corn
in 1890, were found to be in prime con-
dition. No bugs of any kind are present
in these fields, and there is no Indication
of weakening of the wheat plant in any
way.
"But fields in which the wheat was
put in upon stubble ground or upon
poorly cultivated corn land of 1890, are
in damaged condition. Unfortunately,
more than half the fields visited in
drive of ten miles south of Russell are of
this character The wheat plants do not
well cover the ground, and in many
places are turning yellow.
''ln some of these damaged fields the
plants are infested by a small green bug.
This insect is not the grain aphis' nor
the 'oat louse,' as has been reported in
some Of the newspapers, but true hemip-
ferrous bug, rather smaller than the
chinch bug, and not previously known as
attacking wheat.
1T appears, after all, that the prima
ry cause is entirely due to improper
preparation of the soil, and therefore
not very complimentary to our fellow
farmers"

THE DAIRY,
Valuable Suggestions from the Report OF
the New York Dairy Conference.

Valuable Suggestions from the Report OF
the New York Dairy Conferences.
Every ton of milk sold and taken from
the farm takes with it 81 81 in plant
food, and every ton Of cheese removes $21
worth, while a ton of butter only robs it
of about 26 cents worth. Every cow
giving forty pounds of milk a day carries
in her udder from the pasture to the STA
BILE, when she goes there to be MIXED,
5 cents worth of these elements, if she is
MIXED twice day. In a herd of twenty
COWS it amounts to a dollar per day.
This loss must be replaced, if the fertil-
ity Of the soil is maintained, or ruin in
time to the farm will result.
In packing butter, some dairymen
sprinkle a thin layer of salt between each
layer of butter and pack the butter very
closely. Butter should be washed in
water at so degrees, and worked at about
So degrees. Tie granuleS can then be
washed when very small 1t is almost
impossible to make butter of uniform
quality from milk set in open pans,
owing 10 atmospheric changes. In cold
setting these changes are not met with.
Milk often sours in less than twelve
hours when set in shallow pans, unless
the cellar is below 90 degrees in temper
allure. To warm cream, set the can con-
tanning it in a can Of warm water, and
stir the cream during the process. Cool
cream in the same manner. Set the can
containing it into can of cold water,
but you may pour cold water into the
cream. Do not put ice in cream, but
substitute ice water One cannot tell
how much ice to put in, because he will
have to wait till the ice melts before he
can determine the result. Too much ice
may reduce the temperature too low,
when one would have to warm the cream
again.

says Sir James, "were much impressed
by the dignifed, respectful and aztec
onate way in which the General spoke
of Queen Victoria. He said that
Americans would never forget that her
Majesty had been their friend in the
civil war, and had used her influence
in opposition to the recognition of the
South as a nation. His frank, out

reconciliation of the North and South.
