Poultry Pickings.

An idle hen is never good layer.
An overgrown, excessively fat fowl is
nuisance.
A little stimulating food will not come
amiss in mounting season.
Young turkeys will lay more eggs than
old ones, but they will be smaller.
An easy way to get short, stocky, birds
is to hatch them early in the fall rather
than in the spring.
The best breeds for eggs are Leghorns,
Minorcas, Houdans, Spanish, Polands, Ham,
burgs and Andalusians.
The best table fowls are the games.
Cochins, Houdans, Brahmas, Langshans,
Wyandottes and Dominiques.
There is no difference in any respect be-
tween chickens Matched in an incubator
and those Matched under hen.
When pigeons are kept in small yards
care must be taken to keep an even num-
ber An odd male will cause continual
trouble.
Poultry of any kind intended to be
dressed before sending to market should
be kept from food for twenty four hours
before killing.
Giving the turkeys and ducks good
feed Of corn regularly when they come
home at night will be strong inducement
to keep them coming
It is not good plan to keep pullets and
old hens, fat and lean hens all together.
They do not require the same food and
will do better separate.
Egg bound hens or persistent cases of
roup rarely pay for the trouble required
to cure. The Ratchet in majority Of
cases is the cheapest remedy.
It is variety of food rather than large
quantity that fowls require. More care
is necessary in this respect when they are
confined than when given good range.
With proper care in selecting and
keeping the best Of the fowls each year
for breeding, they can be gradually i'm
proved at very low cost. Get stand
ard breed at the start.
When the hens are kept separate from
the roosters not only will they lay better,
but the eggs will keep better. When eggs
are stored away those from hens where
there are no ROSTERS are the best.

Mich Cows.

There are many methods of feeding
cows while in milk. Some of our
writers of late have disapproved of
using chopped hay and straw, but
this principally depends upon the way
of preparation. 1 fail to see why some
of them should state that their cows
milk has become dried up. This is
undoubtedly their own fault and prob
ably their cows had no access to any
other than chopped food. l can fully
recommend it as proper method of
feeding mich COWS. Let it undergo
the following treatment and can pos
itively affirm that there will not be the
slightest danger of such an occurrence
Let the chaff consist of hay and
wheat straw (the upper part only; IN
no case the butts, as they are Of too
woody a nature). Then take either
pulped mangels, cabbage or turnips
(but the latter is often injurious to
the butter). about one bushel of the
pulps to every four of the chaff and
mix well together at least twelve
hours before using; then cover well

that quantity of perspiration has
accumulated which, if the ingredients
are of the best quality as they always
should be- will be found to be most
appetizing. Add to each bushel of
the mixture, when serving it, two
pounds of wheat bran and two pounds
of bran meal well mixed; three pecks
of this may be given twice each day
besides quantity of hay. This meth
cd will be found much more beneficial
than the system adopted by many Of
giving the roots separate from the
meal and chat especially for mich
COWS.
Another method may be successfully
tried for the production of milk in
the shape of bran or middling mashes
given at one feeding time Gin place of
roots) with a portion of chaff mixed
with it. as sloppy food not only pro-
duces but retains the supply of milk
and this may be used as change of
diet-Ohio Farmer.

should not be fed alone; mix it with
bran or something else ground oats
is excellent Feed ground feed dry.
and never mix ground feed with wet
cut hay. Set milk as near its normal
temperature (98 degrees) as possible.
then reduce it to SO degrees. Jersey
calves make just as good veal as the
calves of any other breed, but not so
much of it. For warming and thin
ming cream, use hot water, and then
cover with salt. Don't wash two
things in the same water; change the
water every time. Ohio Farmer.

HONEST MONEY.
ssCallirg It q Dollar Is Exactly what
Mikes 1t Dollar"

w
Makes 1t q Dollar
Wall street organs labor hard to
make the people believe that money
must have commercial value, that
dollar must be coined of metal, and
that there must be enough of that
metal N the dollar to- make it worth
dollar for use in fine arts. When
the people understand that "a cents
worth OF silver makes dollar which
settles dollar of debt any where, and
when they understand the II cents
worth OF nickel when coined into five
cent pieces is worth as much as gold
dollar with 100 cents worth of gold in
It, then they can begin to understand
that the commercial value of the metal
has nothing to do with its power to
purchase. That is fixed solely by the
fiat of the government When the
government says by its stamp that
this II cents worth of nickel shall be
worth a dollar that ends it. Then we
have copper'c coins; seven cents worth
OF copper with the stamp of the gov
eminent is worth one dollar in gold.
Now the question: Why will not a
piece of paper properly stamped be
worth a dollar?
Senator Sherman tried to explain
why money should be of metal and
why these coppers and nickels had not
deprecated by saying that coinage
was government monopoly. :"
Would not stamping paper money be
a government monopoly also? It is
simply coinage. In this Mr. Sherman
makes an important admission for
hard money advocate. This is almost
as good as the Nashville American un-
consciously taught when it said last
February that 'calling it a dollar is
exactly what makes it dollar and
NOTHING ELSE CAM"
England has now four million, four
hundred thousand pounds of copper
coins in use. That is twenty two
million dollars Omitted States money!.
In each dollar there is 20 cents worth
OF copper, and, if you please, 80 cents
made by the stamp of the government.
On the twenty-five million dollars
there are seventeen million six
hundred dollars of fiat. That is
value made because of the stamp Of
the government These gold basis
fellows rush against facts and demon
STATIONS of the past and present in
their assertions. If it were necessary
that piece of money have CONNER
cial value equal to the face value of
the coin, then the worlds money
would be in a deranged condition.
According to their argument the cop
per coin of England, twenty two mil
lion dollars, if melted into mass
should be worth two million
dollars where as were it melted into
now it would only be worth four mil
lion four hundred thousand dollars.
But when this mass of metal bears the
stamp OF the government. saying it is
worth twenty-five million dollars, then
it is worth that amount exactly.
Truly calling it a dollar is just
what makes it dollar and nothing
else can"
The American has not explained
why the United States green backs are
at a premium over gold in European
trade centers, nor has it denied that
these 346 million dollars in green backs
are out now simply on the faith of the
government.
The people are anxious to know why
newspapers or men oppose the issu-
ance of honest money when history
and reason teaches its usefulness and
adaptability, The Toiler.

Dairy Instruction.

At one of the dairy meetings in New
York state last winter, the following
points were brought out by question:
The best feed for mich cows is clio

Wheat bran and middlings, equal parts
by weight make a good grain feed.
If potatoes are fed cook them. Clear

The Midland Mechanic: We are
not finding fault with our lot in life,
but when we see a great city almost
depopulated by those who are FORUM
ate enough to possess the wherewith
to take summer vacation, we ask
ourselves why we were not born with
a silver spoon between our gums, like
some of our more fortunate neighbors.
Through the long summer months we
are compelled to remain in the Office,
with our loved ones far away, never
daring to hope for anything better.
While our more fortunate neighbor
can HE himself away to the mountains
or some summer resort and spend
more money for pleasure during his
vacation than we can earn in a dec
ade. There is something radically
wrong in the distribution of the good
things of this earth, and we think
some of us are getting the worst of
the deal. It isn't because the weather.

fathers competency, or been more
successful in financial matters. We

Sheep Pointers

The sheep is docile, happy, contented
animal if it has half chance to be.
The Cumberland Plateau is the best sec
ton for sheep in the United States
The all-purpose sheep is not a myth.
That feature is fast coming to the front.
The sheep breeders motto: More wool
and more mutton on less length of leg.
The fockmaster who is careless with
his sheep will never get rich at the bust
ness.

cholera in hogs, to eradicate sheep killing
dogs.
A sheep can be fattened well in 80 days;
but it takes twice that long to fatten
steer.
Mexican wool and that Of the Western
states and territories is rapidly increasing
in quality.
Sheep fed for mutton make greater
gain in weight than steers for the amount
of grain fed
1t is curious fact that the great wool
exporting countries lie south of the 18th
degree of south latitude.
AS the wealth of the country increases
so does in proportion the demand for fine

The best butter in the world, naturally,

The best way of preserving silver orna-

Good Disinfectant.

Great need is often felt of a good
disinfectant in such quantities that
the amount of the purchase money
precludes its use. An ounce of perman-
ganate of potash, which may be obtained
of any druggist will make bucket
full of as good deodorizer and disin-
fectant as can be obtained. It only
needs to be dissolved in water; and can
be kept in crystals until it is needed.
This solution is sold in bottles at
large price in England, under regis
tered name, and has an enviable and
well merited reputation.

the Behring Sea Dispute.

FEARS OF THE MISSISSIPPI.


Comments ON the Situation BY London Jour
malls.
LONDON, Jan. h-The Standard commenting
on the recent phases Of the Behring sea dis
pute says that the matter wears a very un-
pleasant aspect. Even possibility Of o rup-
ture between England and the United States,
the paper continues. cannot be mentioned with
ont feeling of great regret The United
states, says the Standard, may count upon .
continuance of that full measure of patience,
courtesy and frmness which England has al
ready displayed in the settlement of this vexed
question.
The article then significantly adds: "But Mr..
Blaine would do well to bear in mind that the
irmness will be commensurate, should the
moment arrive for its exercise, with the pa
thence and courtesy with which he has so far
been treated. He seems extrayaganuy anX-
ious to put himself in the wrong"
MYSTERIOUS HINT.
Referring to the absence from London at
this iunGture of the United States minister the
Standard says:
Mr.. Lincoln cannot too soon return and de-
vote himself to ascertaining the intentions of
our foreign Office and communicating them to
his government. There Is not q person in
England but would hear with profound regret
that shots had been exchanged between British
and American vessels except in courtesy. But
it would excite greater regret TO hear that the
British flag had been insulted and the national
honor had not been indicated by prompt re-
prisals, but we will never believe that the Amer
ican people will suffer its public servants to
force conflict by wanton outrage on our
flag. We gladly bow to the tribunal Of inter-
national law, but not to the nod of Blaine. We
trust he win not persist in menace which is
certain to be resented and resisted"
MR. BLAINE's MOTIVES
The Pei MAI Gazette today says: 1.-THE case
for arbitration in the Behring Sea dispute is so
clearly Lord Salisbury's offer, is so ample and
the feeling in America in favor Of arbitration
is 30 general and strong that it seems necessary
to look for Mr.. Blaine's motives for his warlike
attitude elsewhere than in the merits Of the case
That the American people would deliberately
prefer a policy Of exaggeration and would
sooner embark in a fratricidal war with Eng
land than submit to arbitration, is too silly and
absurd to need a moments consideration. 1t
Is clear that Mr.. Blaire speaks not for the ma
ton, but for his party; that he means bluff
and plays to the anti-English gallery. 1t is
earnestly to be hoped that the good sense and
moderation OF the American people will speedily
make themselves heard. Even a paper warfare
between the two great families of the same race
would be a blunder-a crime"
The 81. james Gazette today saws there is no
reason for alarm. The republican party is at
low water and resorts to the old device of
twisting the British lions tall

If the government show disposition to mo-
nopolize the whole time Of the house Of COM
mons after parliament reassembles they will
meet with considerable opposition from their
side Of the house, especially from the London
conservative members. There are number Of
small bills before parliament in which these

hold meeting as soon as parliamentary BUSH
ness begins again to consider the best means Of
pressing these measures forward. Such bills
as have been brought in for regulating the
water supply and increasing the number Of
workmen's trains on all the roads centering in
London, DC, have party value in addition to
their purely practical interest.
