It was well known that there was an
epidemic of CHAMBERS in the stables of a
New York street car company during
the past summer, and it was remarked
at the time that there was criminal care
lessness in the conduct of those having
charge of the stables. The horses that
died were dumped into the city dead
horse delivery with the rest. The con-
sequence was that a young German, who
skinned one of these glandered beasts,
caught the disease by the virus from
the horses body getting into a small
sore upon his hand. He died in horrible
agony a few days after, with unmistak-
able symptoms of CHAMBERS. When a
horse dies of CHAMBERS burn his body
and don't stop to skin it.
Ewes bred in November will bring
lambs in March. But the ewes must be

the time of breeding till the lambs come.
Unless the sheep owner can give this
care and has warm quarters for the
March lambs and knows just what to
do with them, it is better in the northern
part of the country to have the lambs
come in April.

One of the dancers in the Black Crook
company, who is known by no other
name to the employees of the Academy
than Annie, or Walking lady No IT,"
was standing in the wings Friday night
waiting for her turn to go on with the
rest of the ballet. She wore blond
wig and was costumed in the scant at
tire demanded by the exigencies Of the
occasion. She seemed nervous and looked
pale and i'll, but nobody noticed it. Sud
denly she reeled and fell.
When doctor was summoned it was
found she was suffering from lack of
food. It was also subsequently discov-

woman had sent all her wages away TO

Profitable Employment for the Farmer
and His Men.
EMPLOYMENT more or less continuous,
which common hired men can engage in
and carry on alone, may be brushing up
and oiling tools and putting them in or
der for coming work. Where crude
petroleum can be readily obtained a
dimes worth properly applied may be
worth dollars to wooden tools and lum-
Der wagons by preventing cracking and
decay. The work of applying it is very
simple and easily understood. During
occasional mild days, should any occur,
it may be put on with a coarse brush to
gates and various outdoor structures.
Drawing out manure and spreading it
on the land where it will be needed for
future crops as fast as it accumulates at
the stables. In this way it requires
handling but once, it clears the premises,
and the ground being frozen it is not cut
up with tho wheels as when the work is
postponed till spring. Trials which
have been made by spreading on snow
for the coming corn crop have resulted
III fine crops and the best success.
Equally favorable are the results from
the winter top dressing Of meadows.
In many localities the work Of digging
bitches in winter may be carried on
with profit and for the permanent i'm
provement of the land. Let them be
laid out before the ground freezes, and
the digging commenced by blowing sew

work may then be carried on in cold
weather by loosening the bottom soil be-
fore each night, which will prevent hard
freezing, or by placing small bundles Of
straw in the ditch. AS the work deep
ems even this care will be hardly neces-
sary. Where a ditching plow is used
the bottom soil may be quickly loosened
and the ditch prepared for a cold night
Drawing the tile for filling may be profit
ably done in winter.
Where there is no siIo, and the owner
has treadpower and cutting machine,
good employment consists in cutting
up the corn fodder for feeding to cattle,
by which far less will be wasted than
by feeding the long stalks to them
Trials which have been made have
proved that the fodder was doubled ir
value to them, and the great superiority
was shown Of the short manure as com
pared with long stalk manure.

Consumptive Cows.

Of all the human deaths that occur in
the world it is reasonably estimated
that one in seven is due to consumption
Or tuberculosis, and at least 5000, 900
persons perish from it every year out of
the population of the globe. The recent
remarkable development of bacteriology
has directed special attention to the in
fictitious nature of the disease. While
in majority of cases the fatal infection
is derived from human beings afflicted
with it, it has been amply demonstrated
that in many cases it conveyed to man
from tuberculose COWS through the
medium of milk.
Although in large cities precautions
have been taken to prevent or curtail
the sale of adulterated, watered or
SKINNED milk by means Of lactome+er
tests, there is no practicable method oe
detecting the milk of consu1nptive COWS
after it has reached the city for delivery
to consumers. Those who buy can there
fore be protected only by sanitary super
vision Of the dairy herds at the sources
of supply and by the eradication of the
disease among them.
Investigation has shown the existence
of tuberculosis in some of the dairy
herds that supply milk to the large cities
in the eastern states. The most notable
inquiries Of this kind have been those
recently made in the neighborhood of
Boston under direction of the health
authorities of that city and of the Mas
sachusetts state BOARD of agriculture.
These revealed the prevalence Of the
disease on dairy faGms in many towns
which sent milk to the Boston market.

the birds have complete repose; let all
their powers work toward digestion.
The quickly fatted fowl is tenderest and
most juicy. If no suitable room is avail
able, large coop may be constructed,
with feeding troughs outside.
1t is important that the feed should be
clean, sweet and abundant. For this
reason it should not be placed so that
they will run over it Or defile it. The
object is to have the birds cram them
selves, sit down quietly aud digest, then
cram again and SO on to the end of the
chapter. Now if they are confined in
coop having a tight bottom the place
will soon become intolerably filthy.
There should be openings or wide spaces
in the floor, that it may be cleaned often.
then covered with sawdust or some
other suitable litter. Kept in this con-
dition the fowls will take four square

If there should be quarrelsone one

others from eating to the full, and dis

rapid digestion of the food Fighting

use up food and prevent an oily, rotund
condition.
There is no better food for fattening
purposes the world over than sweet, fine
~ ground cornmeal wet up with
SKINNED milk. The mixture need NOT
be so dry as when meal is mixed with
water. There is no danger that fowls
will get waterlogged on milk. Some
poulterers feed buckwheat meal, think
ing that it renders the poultry better in
favor. There is no objection to mixing
one-third buckwheat meal with the corn.

be seasoned with teaspoonful Of salt

supplied, that they may drink when they

The Use of senarators.

The subject of separators has been a
prolific Sopic for discussion at the bee
meetings and in the bee journals. AS is
usual, the question, "Separators or not?"
calls forth widely varying replies, some
beekeepers favoring their use, while
others look upon them as an unnecessary
expense. One correspondent tells why he
uses separators; another explains why he
doesn't use separators: one favors wood
separators and another tin separators,
etc. In summing up the matter w.
q. Hutchinson, the editor of The Bee
keepers Review, disposes of the ques-
ton as follows: II think all will admit
that only straight combs ought to be
put upon the market. If the condition
of the honey flow and colonies or of the
management result in straight combs
without separatOrs, then they are a use
less expense; otherwise they ought to be
used. Combs need not necessarily be
as straight as board, but so straight
that they may be readily removed from
the case without injury. If a beekeeper
can secure nearly all straight combs
without separators, and has local mar
keith which he can sell direct to con-
sumers-for the few bulged combs that
he may have, separators would still be
useless expense. When separators are
needed it appears to be settled that wood
is preferable for loose separators and tin
for those to be nailed fast to wide
frames"

An old Question Reanswered.


With each recurring season is asked,
"Are bees which have been wintered in
the cellar as hardy as those wintered out
of doors" AS usual, there was not
unanimity in the replies given to this
query by leading apiarists in Gleanings
in Bee Culture. To use Mr.. Roots own
words in concluding the matter, these
started out, 81 think So" and then, 81
think not" and so on. Then it becomes
apparent that locality has something to
do with-it. Our good friend Muth, away
down in Cincinnati, prefers his bees out
doors. Doolittle thinks that where he
is-central New York-one is as good as
the other. Professor Cook, of Michigan,
agrees. Friend France, of Wisconsin.
with his great big tenement hives, as l
should suspect, prefers outdoor winter
ing. So, You see, it depends ON the size
and kind of hive. And then friend Ma
mum, of Vermont, suggests that when
taken out of the cellar they should have
outside protection. And, by the way,
some good friend declares that the best
way in the world to winter bees is to put
them in CHI e. hives and then carry the
chaff hives into the cellar. When you
carry them out in the spring they will
have the chaff hive protection. Mrs.
Harrison, of Illinois, says it depends on
how late yea leave them in the cellar.
Taking a thin walled hive right out of
the cellar and leaving it exposed to heavy
frosts or severe freezing is not just the
thing. DR.. Miller, of Illinois, has an
uncomfortable suspicion. If he were in
our locality-Ohio-I think this ''sus-
picion'' would be still more uncomfort-
able.

of from five to ten bushels an acre. The

cases too fat and lazy even to stand up

qualities such monsters as these would
