The Newer Experiment Stations.

The usefulness of agricultural expert
ment stations is now we'll established.
They disseminate a great amount Of in
formation on agricultural topics through
the medium of printed reports and bull
letins and the newspapers Of the coun-
try, and, what is perhaps not SO well
known in general, the direct station cor
respondence with the farmer is very
large and touches on nearly every topic
connected with farm theory and prac-
tice. The work of the stations has been
encouraged not only by acts of state
legislatures in their behalf, but by gifts
from local communities, agricultural as
sociations, ETC., and the commentator
OF farmers.
Among the more recently established
stations are those of Wyoming, Wash
ington, Oklahoma and Idaho. The Wy
oming agricultural station was organ
lied as a department Of the University
of Wyoming and is located at Laramie.
In order to test the possibilities of agri-
culture in all parts Of Wyoming, expert
ment farms have been established in
different portions of the state. The agri-
cultural experiment station of Ollaho-
ma has been established as department
of the Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege of the state, and is located at Still
water, Payne county. The Washington
agricultural experiment station forms a
department Of the Agricultural College
and School of Science of Washington,
and is located at Pullman. During the
year of 1892 a new station was estab-
lished in Idaho. Experiment stations
are now operating in all the states and
territories except Montana.

To Pack Snow.

You ask me to explain how we put the
snow in the icehouse and also how it
was packed. Inreply will say: eve pack
the snow as solid and dry as possible,
put six inches Of sawdust between the
walls, fill the house and put one foot of
sawdust on top of snow. In two weeks
after it was packed the snow had settled
just one-half, and did not settle any
more and kept perfect to the first Of
September, when we used the last. I
weighed few loads of the snow when
about thirty-fve tons of snow, which
cost us for labor thirty-dve dollars.
Our icehouse will hold 10 tons of ice
and about seven tons of snow. The
thirty-fve tons we left outside on the
north end of the building we covered
with rotten straw. We used that first,
and it lasted us to the 28th of May.
Some Of it melted, but not very much.
We are now building an icehouse 30 by
80, and will leave the old one which is
in the creamery building for floor room.
The one we are building now we will
fill with ice or snow, whichever we can
secure first, and if successful and get
ice enough to fill it, then we will build
a snow shed and use the snow in the
creamery and sell what ice we will not
use.
The snow is twice as easy to handle
as ice, as it can be cut out in blocks
with a spade. I had a cream cooler
fixed in shape of beer cooler, and cold
water was forced through from the
pump. While the separator was run
ming the water was 60 dogs. f., bat in
hot weather we can lower the temper
allure Of the cream as it comes from the
separator 90 degs., which was a great
saving in ice, and the quality of butter
was better.-J. L. Ahlers in Creamery

Do Pumpkins and Melons Mix?

"Do squashes and pumpkins mix with
watermelons?" is question asked by S.
F. White, Of Iowa, who says in The
Farmers Review: "This is g. question
that has been a puzzle to many because
we never see a pumpkin seed in a melon,
nor is there any change in the melons or
apparent mixture in the seed. Yet am
sure that melons grown near pumpkins
will get so mixed with the pumpkins as
to be unfit for USE" Now, says Profess
or L. II. Pammel, this is a general be-
lief among the gardeners, and there
fore have thought it best to correct an
error. Equally general is the belief that
cucumbers spoil muslmelons. Professor
Bailey has shown that it is extremely
doubtful. Ninety-seven muskmelons of
many varieties were pollinated with Gu
cumber pollen of many kinds. No fruit
set. Twenty cucum Der flowers were
pollinated with muskmelon pollen; only
one fruit developed.

Dressing Poultry for Market.

In dressing poultry care Should be
taken to meet the requirements of the
special market to which the birds AIS
dry picked birds bring the best prices,
while in others the preference is TO-
scalded or steam picked. Some markets
call for "drawn" birds; others require
that the entrails remain intact. Here
are two plans presented in The Amer
lean Poultry Yard. The second plan is
the one used by poulterers who bid for
highest prices in the New York mar
kets where the dry picked birds are pre-
ferred, though both kinds are accepted.
For that market the fowls are not
drawn, and the legs and heads are left on.
Scald or steam the fowls quickly and
as soon as possible after killing them.
Then remove the feathers as briskly as
may be, taking them off backward and
downward in the same direction that
the plumage grows. The carcasses
should not be too severely scalded lest
this render the skin tender, but q jet Of
steam thrown upon half dozen at a
time in a good sized tub, or the INNER
sion of the bodies in boiling hot water
for an instant only, will answer the pur-
pose.
This is one way. But when there is
plenty Of time and you are not obliged
to hurry matters, if each fowl is plucked
dry directly after slaughtering and while
the dead body is still warm, it will be
found the preferable plan. 1t is an inn

agonian is noted for its large proportion
of breast meat, yet the capon exceeded
it in this respect by at least Is per cent.
The amount Of fat on the capon was as
tonishing; we all remarked the differ
ence in the two gravy dishes. The flesh
was of excellent favor, all pronouncing
it the best chicken meat they had ever
tasted"
The poultryman says of the caponizing
process: "The apparatus is very simple
and a ten-year-old boy can do the work.
IF proper tools are used there need be no
loss. The birds recover quickly and are
far healthier and can be easily cared
for afterward. Caponizing increases
the growth of all breeds of fowls in
proportion to their natural size about
40 per cent. It is sure to add many
dollars to the income Of the poultry raiser,
and so far as know or can learn there
is not one single practical reason why
all should not perform the work and
produce more big capons for market"

When thoroughly cleaned from the
bristles and hair the carcass must be
suspended in convenient way for dis
emboweling and thus finishing the
entire process. The carcass should hang
not only long enough for draining
thoroughly, but until it is entirely
cooled through, before it is taken down
and cut up for curing and packing. In
suitable weather this condition will be
reached the next day after the slaugh-
tering.
In very cold weather care must be
taken that the carcass does not freeze
on the outside before the animal heat is
all expelled from within. In general it
is better that the dressed hogs should
not freeze at all, but be kept as cold as
possible without freezing.
For profit and for making meat of the
most desirable quality, pigs should be
brought to marketable size and weight
as early as possible. When from 200 to
$50 pounds for the dressed pig is reached
he will be, If properly fattened, in the
best condition for family use. Corn is
the usual fattening food for hogs, but it
is becoming understood that a diet
which will give better distribution of
fat and lean makes more desirable meat.
This means that other substances besides
corn should be used for the growth of
the young animal. Glover during its
season is excellent; pumpkins are good
and cheaply raised; skimmilk is one Of
the best, and during the summer a va
riety Of foods are available for forcing
the growth of pigs, leaving corn to
round up with at the close. Again,
nogs cannot be proftably fattened in
cold weather, and keeping them late in
to the winter for gain in weight is not
practiced by our progressive farmers.

BUTCHERING ON THE FARM.

Cheap and Useful Conveniences-yvei
of Hogs for Family Consumption.
On many farms a few hogs are killed
and dressed for family consumption each
winter. Where this is an annual occur
renee the necessary conveniences ought
to be provided before hand, and after
use stored away for the next season.
Here is what appears in the agricultural
department. of the New York World con-
corning the matter:
When only few hogs are butchered
these appliances may be few and mex
pensive. A tight cask, somewhat larger
than & barrel, in which the hogs may be
scalded as soon as killed; kettles for
heating the water and little scaffold of
rough boards on which the hog may lie
when drawn out of the scalding water
are the principal things.

nren Fear the Sarcastic Girl.

The sarcastic girl may possess talent far
above the breezy creature who candidly
admits that she would rather read one of
"The Duchess novels than an essay Of
Emerson.
She may be able to converse in seven diff
ferent languages. Shemay be as beautiful
as an hour, but men will be afraid Of that
sharp tongue, and the purely feminine
creature, who weeps and laughs by turn
with Phyllis and Molly Bawn will win
the admiration and preside over the home
of the greatest catch Of the season, while
her more brilliant sister, with her danger
Gus sharpness, will be left to her sarcasms
and solitudes.
Sarcasm is not wit, though wit may be
sarcastic.
One can be bright and say all manner of
things without hurting the feelings of
others by keen knife edged opinions that
are subtle with bitterness and teeming
with gall.
Sarcasm is not quality to be cultivated.
1t is a rank weed that once started grows
and grows, choking out the little plants of
kindness, forethought and consideration
until it overruns the garden of the mind,

Prevention of Blindness in Children

ETOVSACAOn OK 311AnQneSS Cn11uGSAs
The readiest and most efficient way Of
meeting and overcoming blindness among
infants is to put knowledge of the dis
ease in possession Of the mothers and
those having the care of newborn chill
dren. The public at large must be made
aware of the irremediable evils that are
likely to follow from the neglect of what
has been regarded as simple and innocent
affection. One medium through which
this knowledge can be extensively dissem
mated is the various charitable organiza-
lions, municipal and private, with which
our country is SO abundantly supplied.
Let every society or organization which
has to do especially with women have
printed and widely distributed among its
people cards containing something like
this:
If the newborn baby's eyes become red
and begin to run matter, take it at once to
a doctor. This condition is dangerous and
may lead to total blindness"
BY this means thousands Of eyes that
would have been lost will be saved. There
is no need to appeal to the humanitarian
sentiments of readers; a simple statement
of the facts is sufficient, we are sure, to
arouse their interest and enlist their CO.
operation in such wogk.--Dr. Swan NJ.

Hints About Garnishing DISHES.

If our good plain cooks'' could only be
induced to garnish their dishes and serve
them up daintily they would be far more
appetizing. This involves little labor after
ALL and is within the reach of every house
keeper. Parsley especially gives an edi-
bic look to even a dish Of cold meat, and
box Of it win grow easily in a sunny win
dow ali winter and require little or no
care. A few sprigs around dish, little
chopped up and sprinkled over fried pota-
toes or a beefsteak makes all the difference
in the world in their appearance. Take up
some nasturtium roots in the autumn, cut
hack the ends and the buds and in few
weeks they viii begin to bloom again,
giving you the prettiest decoration possible
for your salads.
In fact you might have a regular little
kitchen garden in pots and boxes with very
little trouble, and it will be almost sure to
interest and delight your cook. There are
no end of things that make pretty gar
nishes for dish. A few fried onions help
out beefsteak immensely; French chops
look particularly nice if laid in orderly
fashion around a neat hillock of mashed
potatoes; handful Of watercress greatly
helps the look of roast of beef; croquettes
served in atnapkin look twice as well as if
laid in dish A fragrant geranium leaf
floating in the water of finger bowl looks
fresh and dainty. Chicago Journal.

like. The one [ send was not Matched
until June s, and was caponized about
the middle of August, since which time
he has had the same treatment, care and
feed as my other cockerels. He has cost
me, including labor, eighty-fve cents. I
sold his companions last week for
twenty cents a pound alive. They
brought 81. 80 each, leaving me a profit
of seventy-fYe cents apiece. My capons
last winter I sold in Providence for
twenty-eight cents a hound (dressed,

says: owe have had a careful picture of
this capon made; it is shown in the il
lustration. 1t is the first time we have
ever seen q picture of a capon. The
spurs are not developed, as in the case
of a cockerel-they are only stubs. The
comb and wattles are also undeveloped,
while the plumage is very brilliant and
profuse. Perhaps the most characteris-
tic thing about q capon is its head. It
does not look like the head of hen or
of a rooster, but like that of a capon
and nothing else. There is nothing
fierce or energetic about it, but rather a
sneaking, lifeless expression. The comb
and Awattles are undeveloped, and the
