Scavenger Milk Diseased Under Abnormal

Freedom is the natural condition of
happiness among animals. The lower
animals enjoy this pleasure rs much as
persons, and dislike confinement equal

right to exercise the, cruelty of con
staRt confinement upon his animals,

the result of making a little more
profit from them? Much has been said
in regard to the supposed advantage of
keeping cows in the stable all winter
and forbidding them any of the free
dom to which nature has fitted them,
and which is one of their instructive en-.
joyments. Much, too. has been said
and written--and justly in regard to
the misery of the swill-fed cows that
enter the stables from which they
never depart alive. "All hope abandon
who enter here" might be written over
the door of such II prison. Common
humanity is outraged by this intolera-

exercise for months must suffer in

body, through the skin, especially, are

AMONG THE POULTRY.

WHEN hens are kept only for eggs no
rooster is needed.
PUH.ETs and wo-year-old hens are
the most profitable.
For cold climate breed with a
small comb will be found best.
In marketing, eggs should be clean
and fowls we'll fattened and dressed.
FEEDING on barley meal ten days be-
fore killing will give delicacy to the
fl esh.
Two BY four-inch scantlings placed
two feet from the ground or floor make
perches.
A BREED generally has only one dom
inant talent and seldom eXcels in more
than one characteristic.
By keeping fowls through the winter
in good condition their usefulness in
the spring is greatly increased.
After killing goose, dip it in scald-
ing water and then wrap it in cloth
and leave it for five minutes. All the
pin-feathers will then come off readily.
CLEAN, dry sand scattered over the
floor of the broods is one of the best
means of keeping clean. When sand
cannot be had, wheat bran can be used,
BY scattering some of the grain
among the litter it keeps the hens at
work, gives them better appetite and
keeps them in better condition for
laying.
KEEP the fowls in dry, warm place,
free from draughts and there will be
little, if any, danger of roup; damp
ness and draughts are the cause of this
disease.
ANY number of pigeons can be kept
together in one building, provided
they are not crowded too close and the
sexes are kept equal, so they will not
quarrel.
JUST before the early pullets begin
to lay their combs will swell and turn
red and will keep red until they be-
come broody. This is an aid in making
selections.
THERE is no particular breed that
lays eggs of uniform color, BY select
ing dark eggs for Matching it is possi-
bic that uniformity of color may finally
be produced.
POULTRY raising us i'm exclusive
business has only in exceptional cases
proved success The principal de-
pendenee for both eggs and poultry is
upon the farmer.
A LITTLE care in dressing and pack
ing poultry for market will in many
cases add considerably to the price real
ized, and the advance in price will be
nearly all profit. st. Louis Republic

scraping the trough. The eggs are
gathered by lifting the hanging board
door which forms the sides and roof
platform, A dark passage way leads
along the back of the nest boxes and
affords a secrecy and eXclusiveness
to the laying hen which is highly de-
sirable
The feed trough is made by mailing
together 2-inch boards, 16 feet long by
inches wide, in the form of a V
trough. Water is kept in pan, over
which is placed a round fat box (see
Fig. 2), through the sides of which the
fowls can reach for the water and still
cannot soil the water nor over
turn the pan. The dust box is made
by mailing Il board across one corner of
the room. Two windows, each con-
tanning six 1OX12-inch lights, are
placed in the south side of each com
partment More glass would make
the house colder at night and warmer

KEEPING POTATOES.
How to Preserve Them IN Edible Condi-
tion for a Long Time.

How to Preserve Them IN Edible CondI-
tion for a Long Time.
The difficulty of keeping Irish pota-
toes in edible condition after March
is we'll known to south ern house
keepers, farmers and merch ants. Prof.
SchibauX, of the national college of
agriculture of France, has recently de-
vised very simple, cheap and success
full method by which he has been able
to preserve potatoes in edible condition
for over year and half. This proc.
ess has been adopted by the French
government for preserving potatoes for
the army. The French minister OF
agriculture publishes the details of the
process of the official Bulletin du Min
istere de L Agriculture for March, 1891.
The following is a translation of tho
essential part of the scheme:
1. The method of preserving consists
in plunging the tubers, before storing
them away, for ten hours into two.
percent. solution of commercial sui
phuric acid in water; two parts of acid
to one hundred parts of water.
2. The acid penetrates the eyes to
the depth of about one fortieth inch
two millimeters), which serves to de-
stroy their sprouting power; it does
not have any appreciable effect upon
the skin of the potatoes.
8. After remaining in the liquid ten
hours, the tubers must be thoroughly
dried before storing away.
4. The same liquid may be used any
number of times with equally good re-
suits.
5. A barrel or tank of any kind will
do for the treatment. The acid is so
dilute it does not affect the wood
6. Chemical analysis shows that pota-
toes treated by this process are as nu-
tritious and healthful after eighteen
months as when freshly dug.
Z. Potatoes thus treated are, OF
course, worthless for planting Ger

Salt IN Wheat lands.

quite in vogue among the farmers OF
Columbia, Dodge, Adams and other
adjoining counties in Wisconsin. FIX
cellent effects are claimed for it, par
ticularly when used on rather light
soils. 1t has been found, however,
that care should be used not TO SOW
too much per acre Too large an
amount will kill any vegetation. From
200 to 800 pounds per acre has been
recommended. Those who have tried
it say that there is decided improve
ment in the stiffness of the straw and
plumpness of the berry. The salt used
is that hich is sold cheaply for agri

THE MAN WHO ARGUES.
We Can Stand About Every other Kind
of Human Being,

OF Human Being.
A thief and n liar can be endured, be-
cause one can not be perpetually lying
and stealing, but the man who was
born with the spirit of argument in his
composition follows the business of
arguing continually. You can not risk
saying that the grass is green, or that a
rats tail is longer than a mouse's with
out being contradicted and challenged
to prove your statement
He will discuss the subject pro and
con 20 show you that you are in error,
and if you don't see it he will insinuate
that some folks are intellectually blind,
and then your temper will rise and his
likewise, and you will say something
hot, and so will he, and there will be
trouble in camp" When it comes to
married life it is safe to say that two
thirds of the divorces are caused by
arguments.
People who do not argue seldom ap-
pear in divorce courts. 1t has been said
over and over again that no two per-
sons can be found who agree upon
every point, and probably it is true
assertion. Nor is it necessary that they
should.
Peace and order can be preserved in
a house by forbearance and tolerance,
even if one member of the household
insists that white is black. We should
always be willing to grant freedom of
thought and belief to others.
Two persons who are associated to-
gether will before long discover that
there are points upon which they al
ways disagree, and these subjects
should always be avoided in CONVERSE
ton. They are rocks upon which many
bark of happiness has been wrecked.
Change the conversation whenever
you find it drifting toward these fatal
channels, just as you would change the
course of ship if you were pilot and
saw cleaning in your course the warn
ing buoy attached to sunken reef.
Whenever it can consistently be done it
is best to avoid the man who argues.
1t is extremely unpleasant to feel that
you are on the witness stand of cross
examination and to be obliged to prove
your simplest proposition by all the
ologies and isms known to science
Argument is in its place in lyceums
and debates-somctimes il the pulpit
but not as steady diet among friends.
1t is the essence of contradiction; and
the person who is continually contra
dieting will act like an east wind on
peace and sociability. We think we
could endure abuse, billingsgate, and
eggs which had passed through the
chemical laboratory of decomposition,
but from the man who argues, good

Childish Instinct.

To get the values of things is the ar,
lists greatest labor. IL is for that his
eye is quicker to observe than his neigh
bor's. 1t is for that he mixes and re-
mixes his colors; it is for that he lays
them on and rubs them off to try again
for an effect nearer truth; it is for that
he is always 'squinting' ut nature In
view of these facts, values" would
seem to be an essence as evasive as i'm.
