Marking lambs.

The practice with breeders who are
now keeping records of every individual
animal-1ams and ewes-in their breed
ing fooks is varied. Fer those who have
no litter the following method will be
found practicable, and it Is thought with
less liability to errors than by most other
methods:
Atilambing time by very little more
than usual attention, and with no moro
than should be given the flock at this time
without this end in view, it can be seen
when eve has dropped lamb. This
lamb should be marked as hereafter
mentioned and a note made of the num-
Der it is made to bear, the date of it's
birth, and the record number of it's dam
and sire.
The marking is done by notches in the
ears. These notches may be made while
the lamb is quite young and will last a
long time, or until the animal is record
ed and old enough to bear an ear label.
The notches on the ears count as fol-
lows: One notch on the outer rim of the
right ear is l.; one ON outer rim of left
ear is 5; one on inner rim of right ear is
10, and one on inner rim of left ear is 30.
Combinations of these notches may be
made to number as high as 100.-Cor.

Several million voters in this country
have learned an important lesson in the
campaign just closed, and that is, the
Populists can win. There is no longer
any question in the matter. The old
excuse Of "Oh, I would vote with you,
but what's the use; you can't do any
thing" is played out. Nobody takes
any stock In it any more. Every one
knows better.
Partisan ties are broken. The real era
of independence has come, and on every
hand men are heard expressing thern~
selves as being with the new movement
from now on. They have fully learned
that the only way to reform is to begin
by reforming their voting. If the cleo
ton could take place again next week
Weaver would be declared elected beA

The lesson has been a dear one, but ID
is we'll learned. 1t will not be forgotten.
Now let it be plainly and persistently
stated that only by united action will
come success, and the victory of 1896 ID
already won.-Iowa Tribune.

is the so called "black pepsin" for in

The Improvement of Soils.


The amount of water in a soil and its
rate of circulation being among the most
important factors in determining the
growth of cultivated plants, it follows
that the art of cultivating and manuring
must be based on the possible control of
the water supply in the soil. In report
Of soil Investigations by Mr.. Whitney, of
the Maryland station, it is stated that
the continued use of lime, kainit and
phosphoric acid makes the soil more
loamy, loosen in texture and less reten-
tive Of moisture. Many of our agricul-
tural lands need improvement in the
other direction. They need to be made
closer in texture and more retentive of
moisture. In the investigations under
consideration it was found that ammo
MIA, the caustic alkalies, carbonate of
soda and probably many other substances
tend to bring about the desired improve
ment.
The judicious use of lime, kainit or
acid phosphate, along with organic mat.
ter added to the soil, is said to give
value to the application which it would
not otherwise have had, and in this con
nection a value to stable manure is
given out of all proportion to the amount
of plant food it contains. Lime also,
either alone rwhen acting with organic
matter, is mentioned as having a distinct
value for all classes of lands.

Roupin poultry is contagious.
The largest per cent. of hogs is lost
from death in the south. During the
past year Georgia farmers lost nearly 10
per cent. of their swine through fatal
disease-Alabama, Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi nearly as many. Hogs in hot
climates seem more liable to disease than
in colder ones. They need to have more
attention paid to cleanliness.
Chaplin, the Tory British minister,
who hated American beef raisers, is
now one of the outs, and his successor
is Mr.. Herbert Gardner. To Mr.. Gard
ner have come earnest applications al
ready for the removal of the spiteful re-
strictions imposed on the admission of
foreign cattle by Chaplin. There is
good reason to believe the burdensome
restrictions will be removed. The shoe
pinches our British cousins in a peculiar
way. The truth is that English and
Scotch capitalists have invested i'm
mensely in American ranches on our
side Of the line. When, therefore, cattle
from the United States are barred out
Of Great Britain, it cuts into the pockets
Of British subjects themselves.

Cleveland has delivered three speeches
since his election-one before the CHAINS
Der of commerce in Wall street at their
annual banquet; one before Henry Wills
lard, the railway magnate, at private
reception; the third at q dinner of the
swell Manhattan club. The speeches
were well enough worded, nor was the
subject matter censurable, but the places

larry assuring to that large class who
hoped to see a day when little atten~
ton would be paid to the great masses
and the millionaires given a back seat

planning how it happened. They say it
was the Mckinley tariff. Well, who has
been clarifying the Mckinley tariff ali

To sum up the whole subject in a few
words, the policy of the Republican,
party upon all public questions is wrongJ
and the people have rendered their YER
dict to this effect.

Raising Squads

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Farm Journal relates the following ex-
perience in raising squads:
l first rented for a small sum an old
house fifteen by twenty feet, with cell
ings eight feet high, and fitted it up
with plenty Of boxes, hanging them to
the ceiling so that rats could not get at
the young ones. The windows were
taken out and wire netting substituted
in summer. Platforms were placed out
of the windows so the birds could get
out into the sun and rain. Then I
bought common pigeons, the largest I
could find, and penned each pair sep
arately to mate. When mated I put
them in, and they went Immediately to
work. There were twenty pairs.
For feed L use small grained corn and
screenings. [ give them also green
grass, grass seed and plenty of salt, lima
and sand. The birds have a bathbox
2 by feet by inches deep and a
patent fountain from which to drink.
The nesting boxes are cleaned out once
a month and lime put in to keep out lice.
l get an average of eight pairs Of
squads year, and these have realized
for me forty-five cents pair. The cost
of keeping pair OF breeding birds de-
ponds on the kind. Small birds do not
eat as much as large ones. My birds
cost me two dollars per pair for the
year in confinement. There are too
many losses when at large. Hawks kill
them, and people trap or shoot them.
When confined these losses are avoided.

IN A NUTSHELL.

asf Tnouirers.

The silver Question Made Plain 60 HON"
est Inquirers.
Tn England the parliament has passed
an act which DEGREES that every ounce OF
gold offered for sale to the Bank OF Eng
land shall bear a price of e3 It's. I'd. or
about s18.66. BY our own monetary
laws we, the people of the United States,
have decreed that 25.8 grains OF gold
(nine-tenths fne) shall constitute one ooI-
lar or legal unit Of value
Thus, both in England ana IN Cne
United States, gold has given to It, ana
impaired by law, legal, fictitious ana
arbitrary value, into which the CONNER
cial value has been merged, so that there
is no such thing as true commercial
value of gold existing at this day: me
gold standard, or unit of value, is snen
altogether and entirely "tat" un1C' OF
dollar. It has been repeatedly stated Dy
those in d position to know tnaO Cne
quantity of gold thus contained IN a nat
gold dollar costs to produce, or m1ne'
Just about thirty-nine cents, even though
such cost is measured by this hat meas"
ure, or unit of comparison.
Under our former bimetalllc poI1cys
when silver was accorded the privilege
of unrestricted coinage, the law declares
that 412.5 grains of silver (nine-tenths
fine) should be the unit or value, or the
United States dollar. This quantity or
silver costs to produce or mine just
about seventy cents, such cost being
measured by the fat gold unit OF values
but under the present policy, by which
silver is practically demonetized, there
is no fat or money value attaching to
silver, and there being no demand for it
as money, on account of it being denied
the privilege or right of free coinage.
Silver is actually selling for less than
the cost of production, so far as the
United States is concerned. But silver
can be produced in some countries more
cheaply than in the United States, and
of course the least cost of production
regulates the price, so long as the de-
mand for monetary use is not equal to
the production.
1t will be readily apprehended that
there is neither sense nor justice in the
parrotlike cry that silver is worth"
only so and so when this worth" or
value is measured by an artifcially en-
HANGED unit of value-the fat gold dol~
lar. Measured by any and all other com"
modities, silver bullion will be found to
be as valuable" or worth as much as ID
was in 1973.-George @. Ward.

Aar0 s1C1UU5u c1ECr1s,7 yaUUaUnUu To
breeding trotters is in the development
of the speed. No matter how generous
nature may have been in the speed in
heritance, the art of man must be used
to bring out this inheritance, and good
trainers are an expensive luxury, while
q poor trainer is still more expensive at
any price. Not every small trader, even
If he has the time and desire to devote
himself to training, can hope to become
proficient in the art; but every man of
ordinary intelligence, and having a ik-
ing for handling horses, can become
proficient in educating young horses
and bringing them properly to the point
where a buyer can secure a good road
horse, or the expert trainer can take up
the education and bring out the reserve
speed. A horse properly bred and prop
erly educated up to this point is always
salable at good price.
The first point is to start right, for
without this all subsequent efforts will
be in vain. It is an accepted law among
breeders that like produces like, or the
likeness Of some ancestor, and the
chances are much greater that>the quail
tiles Of the parents will be reproduced
than those Of more remote progenitors.
It follows then that if we start to pro-
duce a certain type of horse we cannot
expect to often produce that type by
uniting parents of an entirely different
type.
1t has been q too common error that
any old wornout mare would answer
for a dam, providing she was bred to
some noted horse. Experience has dem
onstrated that the dam exerts fully as
much influence upon the offspring as
the sire; in fact in my own case I have
come to believe that have more young
sters that show the characteristics of the
dam more strongly than those of the sire.
A good brood mare should have size,
for the offspring is influenced largely by
the dam in this respect, and she should
have a cheerful and pleasant disposition,
with plenty Of snap. IF she has speed,
so much the better, but it will be like
inviting failure to expect to breed 2
prompt, pleasant driving horse from a
stupid, awkward, stumbling dam.
Experience has shown that the trotting
action or gait is Influenced more strong
ly by the sire, and a breeder should be
careful, therefore, to breed to a horse of
pure trotting action-one that trots with
out the appliances of weights and other
artificial means Of balancing. No man
desires to drive toe weight trotter on
the road, or one that requires booting
beyond possibly a quarter boot.
BY all means seek to breed high finish.
A handsome horse will always command
much better price and a much reader
sale than one Of plain conformation.
Beauty detracts nothing from speed, and
the breeder who seeks to breed hand
some road or driving horses will find as
large a percentage Of fast trotters among
the produce as he who breeds for speed
alone. In one case those that lack speed
will sell for enough to represent profit,
while in the other class those that lack
speed are among the most useless of ami
mals.-Cultivator and Country Gentle

The Farmer,s Icehouse.

Once more we say that high cost is not
necessary in an icehouse. The essen
tials are ground from which the water
will run away, sides stiff and tight
enough to securely hold the fine pack
ing with which it must be surrounded,
a roof good enough to turn rain and free
ventilation over the top of the material
with which the ice is covered. Any shed
which will furnish these requisites and
eighteen inches of chaff, sawdrst, fine
charcoal, cut corn fodder or straw
packed hard and tight under, on all
sides and above the ice, with both gable
ends wide open, will keep ice better than
a $3.50 stone building, says one who has
tried it in the Philadelphia Farm Jour
nal. A pile of ice s by 10 feet and
feet high will hold enough for any
ordinary farm family with dairy at

LEAN MEAT VERSUS FAT.
The Excess of Fat in the Pork, Beef and
Mutton of This Country.

The Excess of Fat in the Pork, Beef and
Mutton of This Country.
Attention is directed by Professor At
water in The Experimental Station Rec
ord to a deficiency of protein in our ag-
ricultural products, which tends to in
crease the already too great proportion
Of fat and carbohydrates in the food we
eat. Corn, our great staple, is poor in
protein at the best. The larger part of
our pork is made from corn. Pork made
from corn exclusively has relatively lit
tie lean. The corn fed pork in the mar
ket is mostly fat. On this subject it is
said that the pork producer in this coun-
try has come to be essentially manu-
facturer of fat. Like other manufacture
ers he must compete in the markets OF
the world, home and foreign. He meets
serious competition in the fat Of other
meats, in cottonseed oil and in petro-
leum. The home market is relatively
overstocked with fat pork.
There are, then, two things for the
pork producers to dO-make leaner pork
and get better access to foreign markets.
Leaner pork can be obtained by the use
of nitrOgenOus fOOds-skimmilk bran,
shorts. cottonseed meal, if it can be adj
vantageously utilized; beans, peas, clover,
alfalfa and other leguminous plants. 1t
is, however, impracticable for many pork
producers to change their system of feed
ing at once. The bulk of the pork of the
country is and for some time must be
manufactured from corn, but where nj
tr0genous foods are available they should
be used, and where they are not an at
temptshOuld be made to introduce them.
Skimmilk is rich in protein, and on
this account it is excellent, Professor
Atwater states, not simply for making
the lean pork that rational diet calls
for, in place of the excessively fat prod
uct with which the market is flooded.
There is the same trouble with our other
meats. Our beef and mutton are fatter
than need be, and the excess of fat is
greater than we realize. 1t is true there
is q large demand for fat beef. This is
because such beef is tender, juicy and
attractive in flavor, and it is not the fat
but the lean part of the meat that is
mostly wanted. The European feeder
makes tender, juicy beef of excellent
flavor, without excess Of fat. When the
cattle he is fattening have become fat to
the point where the quantity of fat in
the meat is reasonable and the favor ac-
ceptable they are slaughtered. His feed
ing stuffs are also richer in protein than
the grasses and grain Of the central and

EARLY BROILERS.
Successful Incubator Work by Practical
Poultry Men.


Poultry Men.
Although the market for early broilers
will not begin before the opening of the
new year, P. H. Jacobs, of Hammonton,
N. j., very truly says in Farm and Fire.
side that the chicks must be Matched out
in time to grow. Itrequires three weeks
to hatch the chicks and about ten weeks
more for them to reach a marketable
size, the whole period, from the begin.
ming of the hatch to the period of selling,
being about three months.
To reach the market in January the
chicks should come out of the shells not
later than the first week in November.
AS the prices gradually increase after
January, reaching the highest limit in
May, there is a wide field open for early
broilers. The first lot that reaches the
market sells best when they weigh but
little over a pound each, but as the prices
go up the weights also increase until
sizes of ~ pounds weight are desired.
The difficulty in securing early chicks
is the fact that hen will not sit until
she is so inclined, and even if she matches
cult for her to raise them. Hence Mr..
Jacobs encourages artificial incubation.
He says: "In April and May prices some
times reach as high as sixty cents a
pound for broilers in large cities. The
cost of the food to produce one pound of
chick does not exceed six cents. 1t must
not be overlooked, however, that the
cost Of eggs for incubation, the labor,
the buildings and other expenses are
sometimes great, and losses by death
may be very heavy. All are not sue
cessful, but many difficulties can be
overcome after years experience. 1t
is best to begin with small incubator
and learn, and not venture too far the
first season. If anything is to be done,
however, this is the time to begin, not
only for profit, but also to experiment"
It is told Of one of Ohio's most success
full broiler men in The Poultry World
that he never started the machines until
December for two reasons-frst, it was
difficult to procure eggs in any quantity
much before that time, and, second, that
the market was filed with frozen stock
and game until March, so that there is
no great demand for broilers until about
April /, when the frozen stock and game
are cleared up and a good demand for
broilers comes on. He owes his success
in great measure to the fact that he
only utilities the best portion of the year
winter and spring. He works at the
poultry business during the winter and
spring months, when his other business
is slow, and by June, when the prices
commence to fall, he is all sold out and
works at his trade until another year.
It is not economy to put money into
cheap machines. Whichever you try,
make up your mind at once that there is
work to be done, and probably when
you count your chickens from the first
hatch you will think, as others have
thought, that "the best regulated ma
chine needs regulating" A person can
not be told how to run successfully an
incubator; he must learn it by expert
ence.
