The Poultry Yard,

If from any cause any of the chick ems get stunted the quicker they are marketed tho better
 Wire cloth is a good material for doors ant windows during the summer, when plenty of ventilation is needed.
 Even with young chickens there arc few materials that are better than good cornmea, for fattening; even few days feeding of it will be of benefit
 Hens that arc two years old and are not goo6 layers had better be fattened and marketed as soon as possible; they are an expense and return no income.
 A row or two of sunflowers planted along with the corn will be found profitable to use Tn making good variety of feed, especially during the winter.
 Save the egg shells, put them into the oven and burn them brown; then mash them up fine and mix with the feed. It is healthy and beneficial to the fowls.
 Broken grain. like cracked wheat or corn. millet seed or something of this kind. is better and healthier for young chickens than cornmeal or wheat middlinpS.

PhotOgraPhic EngrAvInG.

Perhaps the most extraordinary ap. plication of photography that it is pos- sible to mention is found in the multi form mechanical processes used at the present day for the reproduction of pictures. In the Illustrating of mag a. zines the art of woodcutting has been almost superseded by photo-e engraving E in one shape or another. Until re- gently it was thought impossible to re- produce in this way anything but q drawing composed of lines but now even n painting can be copied off, hand in the shape of a cut by the simple de- vice of placing gauge screen between the picture and the camera, the net work of tho gauge breaking up the solid lights and shadows so as to mak o them reproducible. A much better way of accomplishing this, however. has been lately invented. by cutting cross lines on the glass negative itself Thus you find in the newspapers of to- day most beautiful engravings of actual works of art, done within a few hours, which would have taken the hand workman not long ago months to turn out. Art photography is making rapid strides ahead

The Principle of Supply and Demand Sure to Solve the Problem of Rais- ing Hogs for Pront-When the
 Cow Becomes Ill.
Farmers and Their Hogs.

Owing to alternate surplusages and shortages, live stock. like grain and all products, whether of the farm or of the factory, are subject to the dominating influence of supply and demand which forces fluctuations in prices. For a series of months. often of years because of over production, every species of animal food will com mand only prices for which it cannot be profitably produced. and these prices hold until not only the extra production ceases, but only the sur plus is exhausted and there comes a demand which cannot be fully sup piled. when prices begin and continue to advance, stimulating production un- til another surplus is found to exist. Thus. for several years hogs cattle and sheep have been produced so large ly in excess of market demands as to render the breeding and raising of these animals, except under the most favorable conditions, unproiitable. But the worlds markets are short now, the consumption has overtahen the volume of production and the prices of hogs and cattle and sheep must tend upwards until a surplus again finds no adequate consumption. In the meantime moro money will be made in raising these animals than was lost during the era of depression. - Colman's Rural World.

Protecting American Labor.

When the protected c0al and coke op-
 orators of Pennsylvania had their great difficulty over wages some yeaS ago, they got rid of their American labor and imported Hungarians and Italians by contract to take it's place. This was the occasion for passing the national con- tract labor law, which forbids the em- ployment of aborers in foreign countries and bringing them here under contract.
 The law was really scheme to prevent protected American miDe-owners from degrading American labor, The law
 was passed at the instance of Pennsylva-
 mia labor organizations which were sui fering from the competition of imported
 contract labor. These organizations had heard the usual amount of rot about protection of American labor; but they saw that protective tariff law alone did not secure any benefit to labor There must be a separate law to prevent the protected mine e-owners from making con- tracts in Europe with "pauper labor," to come here and take the place of native Americans who should organize and att tempt to enforce their demands for liv- ing wages.
 But the mischief had already been done. The Pennsylvania mined owners had already brought in large numbers
 of Hungarans and Italians; others follow ed rapidly, and for some years now tt 0 Pennsylvania mines have been worked almost entirely by hordes of ignorant foreigners the cheapest and most de-
 graded labor in the United States This labor, however, learned to writhe un-
 der it's degradation. The worm trodden upon will turn. The imported labor 1 learned to organize itself and move in
 body for higher wages and better standard of living.
 When, therefore, the mine owners several months ago resolved to reduce
 wages, they were met by demand from ! their imported Hungarians and Italians
 for an increase instead of reduction.
 Then followed the great coal and coke
 strike with some 3o,o00 laborers out O
 work. Bloody riots followed and the l troops had to be called out to keep the peace.
 Meanwhile, the strike had caused inn
 mense losses to both sides. At tho end of the twelfth week, the estimated loss
 was S3, 800, GOO, of which sum S1, 1000, 900
 represented loss of wages to the men, 1 and the remainder losses of tho manu- 1 facturers-an average loss to all parties 1 of about $500, 900 per week.
 l The latest news is to the effect that
 new supply of Italians, most of them
 fresh from Europe" is being shipped 1 into the coke region, under strong
 guard" It was stated by the Italian 1 leader of this band that there are Ameri- i can agents all over Italy trying to in 1 duce Italians to come to the United
 States. Several thousands of the poor
 est class have thus found their way to
 Pittsburg since the strike began, and, 1t
 is added, "just who pays their fares does
 not appear on the surface
 Such is the fate of American labor un-
 der protection, And the organs and the
 takers go on reirerating their stale and
 exploded assertions about protection

Why is it that English people can't understand lokesp They arc not al-

When Cows Are III.

Unfortunately. it is seldom noticed that COW is i'll until she actually re- fuses 10 eat, by which time she is in great danger, and drastic measures must be at once taken for her relief, which sometimes do not succeed in saving her life. When dry chatf Is largely used during the winter season, the owner or his representative should be continually on the alert for this form of disease, easily recognizable in its first stages by the hardness of the droppings and the small quantity. The instant this is observed, drench consisting of ID. of salts, OF. car bonate of ammonia, and oz. of ginger should be given. repeating the dose in few hours, when relief of the bowels will be the result. and the danger over. When a case of milk fever oc- CUTS constipation is always present and unless this can be quickly relieved death will speedily ensue. Milk fever is. however. such deadly disease, and runs its fatal course so quickly. that a cure is almost hopeless; Pre- vention is therefore the only course open to the stock-owner. who should use every precaution to avoid this dreadful scourge.

Worse and Worse.

We arc face to face, it seems. and in exceedingly grave reality. with some thing new in the human ills. Con- corning the epidemic commonly called grippe Dr. Clouston. an able alienist of the royal asylum of Edinburg, ap- pears to have made singular discov- cry. Having noticed sudden and un- usual increase in the number of pa- tients suffering from melancholia Dr. Clouston set about determining the cause, and finally succeeded in sa .isiy- ing himself that influenza or the grippe. and insanity are subtil y re- lated in some other way than through tho possession of common interest in making mankind unhappy. It is his opinion that the recent epidemics of influenza have perceptibly lowered human vitality. The grippe has left the worlds nerves and spirits racked and depressed and they have not yet regained their normal tone.

Mckinley Tin Cans.

Certain protectonist organs have been printing the ahsured statement that tin cans are cheaper now than year ago, before the prices of tin plate had been affected by the tariff. A statement of that character will do for use In McKin- ley organs; but men in the packing b sl- ness know that cans are dearer than they were At the National Association of Canned Goods Pae kers, in Chicago, T. l. Bunting, a well known packer of Hamburg, N. r., said that duty had ad- vanced the cost of 2-tb. cans SIS cents per dozen, 3-tb. cans 1o1S cents per dozen, and gallon cans F cents per dozen.
 He further stated that if no duty were imposed tho packer could afford 10 pay the farmer 25 per cent more for produce than he pays now, and could still sell the goods at the same price. Mckin- ley's tn-plate tax is therefore especially burdensome to all farmers who raise fruits or vegetables for the canneries.

American Horses in Europe.

Mckinley pretended to see that our farmers were in danger of being flooded with too many cheap horses coming into tho country from Canada Of course, the farmers are themselves the principal buyers of horses, but Mckinley depended upon them to overlook that fact, and to be overwhelmed with grati- tude to him to find in the farmers tariff" that he raised the duty on horses.
 Under the old law, horses came in at 20 per cent. ad valorem. Mckinley raised this duty to 30 per cent. on all horses valued at more than $50 per head, and to S3o apiece on horses worth less than $50.
 These duties look like sign of dis tress, like confession that there is some ruinous outside competition The following item from the Rural Nelc- Yorker, however, shows that the Ameri- can horse can hold up his head among the pauper horses of Europe:
 shipping horses to Scotland from Philadelphia is becoming quite busi- ness, 400 having been sent within the last few months They all go to Aber- deen, whero dealer has opened largo stables for the sale of American horses exclusively. The trade is expected to increase Sapluly. The trObtlng horse Is preferred, being used as coach horse and roadster. It cost $50 for the trans portation of each horse, besides $40 in- surance on each animal valued at S2Go. But notwithstanding these heavy charges, which do not include the ex- penses to Aberdeen from Glasgow. the shippers realize a profit, and propose to push the trade"
 McKinley's horse duty, then, was only intended to fool farmers who lack horse

Many men.raise pound of butter worth twenty-five cents. at the same cost and on the same quantity of land. that other men raise pound of beef worth two to five cents. Two hundred pounds of butter year from a COW, at 25 cents. means $5o whilst tho same number of pounds of beef, at , cents means only e10. But q good COW will produce 800 lbs of butter a year and it takes good steer to make POO lbs. of beef.

 Under ordinary conditions too much milk cannot be given to tho poultry. Give them all they will cat or drink.
 Generally it is poor economy to work horse hard all day, and then turn him out to pick around all night
 While matched teams are desirable. so far as appearances are concerned. yet it is of more importance to have them matched in gait and strength.

Poultry for Profit.

A writer for the Orange Judd Farm CT says: Il have bred large number of breeds and varieties Of poultry and find that hens with short legs. chunky bodies. short necks and small heads are, as a rule, indifferent layers. Hens the reverse of this description arc the good layers, and we certainly can im- prove the laying qualities of a flock by continued selection of this type. It is in this way that certain strains of nearly all the standard bred fowls. noted for their egg production, are produced. l would not, as a rule, pick out the bird scoring the highest by the standard for the best layer. simply because such birds are too frequently bred for fancy points, and utility is lost sight of l believe that latterly. however. nearly all breeders have been selecting types of birds for breeders that combine. as far as possi- ble, utility and standard points. For my part l think we should first look after the useful and then the ornamen- t.1

Hay Prices and a Hay Trust.

When the McKineyites doubled the duty on hay last year many farmers doubtless thought that higher prices for hay would now be In order 1t has not worked any disadvantage yet to the farmers of New York State. A corre- spondent of the Rural Ne,o Yorker tells why: "The price has for several years ranged from S10 to SIS per ton to the grower, the buyer furnishing press and the men to operate it, and the farmer furnishing the additional help and board for all hands, horse-feed and coal, and he has also had to deliver the bales to the ears All this was quite satisfactory until last fall, when the three hundred hay dealers in this State formed "trust, fixing the price at S7, and charging Sir per ton for baling, in case the dealer based the hay and did not buy it Nor was this all; an iron clad contract was produced for tho farmer to sign, which gave the buyer the privilege of grading the hay at the car, and many received only S5 or S6 for hay for which they expected $T. There was no use in talking back after they had signed the contract, for the monop- oIists could pay what they saw fit and the growers were obliged to take it.
 @All this naturally caused vigorous kick, and new presses were bought by cnterprising men, Most of the latter wore approached by the trust men, who tried to induce them by various means not to press for farmers Tho presses, however, have been constantly running, aud some of the farmers have shipped their hay. while others have sold theirs uheSo they saw fit The hay dealers,

securing wo5kers for tho Harvest.

Each bee-keeper ought thoroughly to understand the honey resources of his own locality. He should know when to expect honey flow, When tho time comes, the expected harvest may not come. but the bee-keeper should be in readiness for it. IL Is possible to have good honey flow and yet secure no surplus, because there arc not sufficient number of bees to gather it. Bees arc valuable when there is honey to gather; at other times they are consumers. Less populous colonies can be more successfully win tered in the cellar than out-of-doors; while by proper protection and care in the spring, such colonies can be brought up to the requisite strength in time for the honey harvest. If by such management we arc enabled to so re- duee our colonies in strength during the non-producing time of the year that stores are saved to the amount of from three to five pounds per colony, we are we'll paid for our trouble.
