AMONG THE POULTRY.

Fowls need a good shade during the
summer.
THE demand tor good poultry is on
the increase.
POULTRY must have plenty of green
food if they thrive well.
GUlNEAs like stale bread moistened
with sweet skim milk and curd.
GEESE should be picked regularly
three or four times during the summer.
STOLEN nest nearly always gives a
full hatch. because the conditions are
favorable.
DoS'T get the hens too fat, and, on
the other hand, do not starve them in
summer.
DUCKS are enormous caters. They
not only eat all day, but often feed by
moonlight.
SULPHUR in the food is good remedy
for lice because it tends to make the
skin moist and oily.

CONCERNING GLOVES.

rhe Prevailing Shades Now Being Worn.
The fashion in gloves light be called
a standard one, for, all reports to the
contrary, the shades seen are gray,
black and all of the various tan ones.
In the heavy walking glove, made with
overlapping seams and closing with
four large buttons, the deep shades OF
tan-thoSe that verge on the reddish
brown-are best liked: but for general
wear the undreSsed kid glove. siX-but-
ton length and closing with two but
tons. in one of the lighter tan shades, is
preferred. The sack glove. that is the
one that slips over ones hand and
has no buttons, is noted in white,
light gray and tan, and Is more
desirable in the white and gray,
for the reason that either of these
coors clean 50 very easily. Very few
mitts are worn. and as silk gloves have
the unpleasant habit of wearing out at
the finger-ends in marvelouslv short
time. and as they are not beautiful,
they can not be commended for either
economy or good taste. The tan glove
harmonizes with every color worn eX-
cept gray. and for that the gray glove is
in order. Though a few glace gloves
are seen, they have not the vogue OF
undressed kid, which by its extreme
softness and pliability recommends
itself to most women. DO not make
the mistake, under any circumstances.

How to Feed and When to Feed Told I'm

How TO FEED.-For cattle, the roots
should be cut, toavoid choking. Horses
will eat them with safety without
sheep should have them cut fine, by
pulper. and fed in troughs- Cattle may
have them sliced or pulped and fed in
fnanger, with or without mill feed on
them, two or three times a day, or, as
some prefer to cut dry feed, straw. hay.
or cornfodder. Have two bins; put in
cut feed to the depth of eight or ten
inches, sprinkle on water to danpen
and sprinkle of salt, then tramp down
tight. then put on layer of pulped
roots and layer of cut feed and roots as
before. and so on, as many as you like,
until YOU have enough for one days
feeding. Let this stand until the next
day when it will be quite warm for
! feeding that day, and as you take 1T out
it mixes together. If you want to feed
meal or bran throw it on top of it, in
the manger, then fill the other bin for
next day. as before, each bin standing
over night to ferment, which is rehshed
greatly by cattle.
WHEN TO FEEp.-When your stable
is warm SO that manure will not freeze.
or the weather is warm, as cattle are
not benefited by roots if they stand in
the cold after eating them. Neither do
they require much water. if they have
three pecks or one bushel head per
day. In cold weather, if turned out OF

all around the frame, both at top and

MUST GO TOGETHER.
To Be Successful n Creamery Must Have
Intelligent Patrons.

Intelligent Patrons.
We often hear sharp criticism in
dulged in by creamery men against
their patrons and by patrons against
creamery men. 1t has been our OBJ
servation quite often that the criticism
was well deserved both ways But we
wish to assert a bedrock principle that
knows no exception: 1t is impossible
to run a poor creamery when the
patrons are well posted in dairying.
They simply won't have It The poor
creameries and cheese factories can
continue to exist only when the patrons
do not know what is due them. The
other day we read the report of a
creamery at Geneva, ILL.,. and it did us
good to note what splendid combiua-
ton in society lot of intelligent
patrons and a good creamery can make.
There are sixty patrons. and they de-
livered last year 5.737.757 pounds of
milk, which produced go. 1a7 pounds of
butter, an average of 4.35, or trite
over 4 Il pounds of butter tc 16o pounds
of milk The amount received for the
butter was $50. O3o.23.
One of the hest proofs of the lntelll-
rence of the patrons is found in the ex-
cellent quality of their milk. That is
an old dairy section around Geneva,
and the dairymen there have learned
that it don't pay to have poor COW or
to keep good one poorly. Evidently
they have long since discarded the idea
that lots of milk without reference to
its quality was the thing in creamery
or cheese factory. So many farmers
have that important lesson yet to learn.
1t must be pleasant task to run a
creamery with such lot of well-posted
dairy farmers for patrons s--Hoard 5
