THE POULTRY YARD.

THERE is to be grand poultry and
pigeon display at the worlds fair, Chi
cago, October 16 to 2S.
By keeping coops and houses disin-
fected by dry earth or plaster an epi-
demic of cholera may be avoided.
WHEN you have the sprayer on your
back step into the poultry house and
spray it with the Bordeaux mixture.
Spray roof. walls and floor thoroughly.
WORMS burrow deeply in dry time
When this cheap food supply is cut off
from the flock they will appreciate an
occasional ration of meat or cut green
bone.
To KEEP fowls in yard in summer
on an exclusive diet of grain is mex.
cusable cruelty. A partial diet of grass
and vegetables is vastly better and
cheaper.
EaGs are better and cheaper food
than pork for this hot weather. Farm
ers can raise the price of eggs by using
more of them on their own tables and
promote health at the same time.
WE do not recommend our readers tc
depend on q lining of tarred paper tc
prevent lice from harboring in a poul
try house. Put the paper outside, use
whitewash and kerosene inside, ant
dry lime or pyrcthrum in nests and lice
will not trouble the flock, and the
house will be protected by the paper
from the weather.-Fa Journal.

or COW shed until you find a market for
them. 1t is best after they learn to
eat and fly about to keep them away
from the old birds; they do much bet
ter and do not annoy them when they
are setting on eggs again. The plan
is clearly shown in Fig. 2 and the coop
in Figs and B. The former gives an
idea of the construction, the latter the
details of the interior. In order to
make all the room possible on the
ground floor, raise the nests up two
feet from the ground in the darkest
part of the coop. A window and an
entrance form the front, door on the
outside-a place to enter the coop by.
The length of the building is seven
feet. width five and one-half feet,
hight six feet at top and four feet at
base, giving good slant to the roof.
Roosts, dust box, water fountain and
feed trough are provided. 1t will ac-
commodate five or six hens and male,
not more. Learn to handle a small
flock, then you will have experience
when you branch out in larger way.

have dozen or two hogs on hand and

plpp,ns Necessary to Health.

The practice of dipping sheep in the
spring and fall is useful and healthful
in two ways. 1t gets rid of the innu.
merable cutaneous parasites that infest
the flock and weary them by their con.
tinual biting and the consequent ex-
haustion by the loss of SO much blood,
and it is equal to a warm bath, which
SO refreshcs the owner tired and an
noyed by the constant gathering of un-
wholesome cxcretions from the skin.
This excretion Is enormous in the sheep,
and as the yolk and grease which col
lect in SO large u quantity on the sheep
prevent the healthful perspiration
which would otherwise carry off inn
pure matter that must necessarily be
got rid of to preserve the animal in
good health, and as this interferes as
every other unhealthful condition with
the growth of the fleece, as well as with
the vigor of the sheep and the pros
perity Of the lamb, it will pay to dip
the flock, although there may be no
ticks or scab to make it imperative.

FEEDING LIVE STOCK.
Experience, There II No Doubt, Beats
Theory Every Time.

Theory Every Time.
A correspondent wants us to tell him
how to feed ground linseed cake, and
also wants to know why it is better
than corn or oats. This is all reasona.
BILE enough, but we are reminded that
1t is easier to ask questions than an
swer them satisfactorily. There are
hardly two feeders who follow the same
plan. Those who use most of 1t learned
to use 1t through practice. We know
one feeder who fattened large bunch
of steers on ground linseed cake and
hay alone and made q great success, to
the great surprise of his neighbors.
He Is Scotchman and claimed TO be
following the method in vogue where
he came from. Another feeder, who
lives in Iowa, buys steers in the spring
and fattens them on ground linseed
cake, corn and grass. and sells them in
the fall. He winters no cattle, and he
claims to make money that way.
These are extreme cases. and we
would not recommend either to be-
ginner.
A good authority claims that in a
hundred pounds of corn eight pounds
90 to make muscle and bone and seven
| ty-five pounds to make fat. In hum
dred pounds of oats eight pounds
go to muscle and bone and fifty-fve
pounds to fat. But in hundred pounds
| of ground linseed cake seventy-five
pounds go to muscle and bone and forty
pounds to fat. These are probably, al
least approximately, correct 1t seems
plain, therefore, that if fat alone is
wanted, corn is the best food. But II
muscle and bone are wanted, then the
linseed cake is far ahead. Itstands tc
reason, then, that for young, growing
animals the linseed cake is most desira
BILE. We believe, however, that 9
mixed ration will give the best results
1t is claimed for the cake, however, that
even where animals are fed for fatten
ing, goodly quantity of it can be fec
to advantage, owing to its having tn,
effect of keeping the stomach in goot
condition and causing all food to b'
more readily assimilated. Tho fact is
the use Of linseed cake in this countr,
is yet in it's infancy. No one has re
duced it to set of rules. Those wh'
have used it most seem to be the bes
pleased with the results. Some mix i
up in a slop or mash for pigs and other
feed it dry. 1t does seem, too, tina
those who feed most of it prefer i
ground pretty coarse and feed it DIR.

COCOA AND CHOCOLATE.
Processes They Undergo Before Eeio
Ready for the Retail Purchaser.

Processes They Undergo Before Being
Ready for the Retail Purchaser.
The cocoa is imported into this coun-
try either Immediately through a
broker or other manufacturer, in whose
hands it undergocs the final processes
necessary to prepare it for consump-
tion. The first of these is roasting!
Then the seeds are subjected to fan
blast to free them from husks They
are then mixed or offended" for the
cocoa and chocolate of the market are
mixtures, sometimes as many as six or
seven different kinds going to make
the compound, one kind being
chosen for its color, another for its
body" another for it's flavor, and
SO on. These mixtures, upon which
the excellence of the brard depends,
are the secret of the respective manu-
facturcs. The mixed seeds are then
broken and crushed, those intended for
cocoa being ground in MILL which re-
duccs them by means of heat and their
own inherent oil to smooth viscid
liquid. These fatty constituents are
then expressed by powerful pressure,
which leaves the residue a dry mass.
This, powdered, sifted and boxed, with
sometimes little havoring added, is
the cocoa proper of the retail trade.
| The cocoa fat or cocoa butter, as it is
called, isin itself a valuable article and
is extensively used in confectionery,
cosmetics and for surgical purposes.
| When the cocoa is to be made into
chocolate the fat is retained and more
is often added in the melangeurs, or
mixing mnchincs-heavy rollers of
French granite, which grind and
smooth the mixture that is here made
by adding sugar, havoring and gener-
ally some starch to the cocoa. This
mixture, cooled in molds, forms the
chocolate of the retail trade. The best
manufacturers will deny the use of
starch, but the fact is cocoa can not be
converted into it's more solid form of
chocolate without the admiNture of
starch, and consequently its presence
in moderate quantity and of good quail.
ity can not be regarded as an adultera-
tion. strictly SO called. There is, how
ever, great deal of delcterious adul-
teration practiccd, and the cheaper
grades of cocoa and chocolate are often
rendered thereby positively injurious
to health. Iron pyrites and other
more or less harmful substances arc
used for coloring plaster of paris for
weight, inferior starches are added and
foreign fats. the natural butter being
extracted and sold to its special market
at Il special price. The most important
chemical constituents of cocoa are this
fat, or cocoa butter, which averages 81
per cent of the whole in raw and II
per cent in the prepared or manufac
turers' cocoa; and the theobromine, ar
alkaloid substance physiologicaliy
identical with the theme and caffeine
of tea and coffee It's special value as
drink is that along with this stimr
liant, like tea and coffee, it furnishes
the body with large proportional
quantity of heterogeneous and oleaginoul
food. Its preparation as an emulsion
rather than an infusion has, no doubt,
something to do with the high degree
of nourishment it affords.-N. Y. Post

the value to health of the pure liquid

and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and

Value of u Cow.

The value Of dairy COW depends
upon the amount of milk or butter that
1t will produce-not upon its beauty-s
yet we know some men who are wholly
guided by the eye when buying. A
COW which can give 500 worth of milk
or butter in year is pretty sure to be

reasonable price. A cow which will
give less than half that, as many Of
them do. is poor thing to keep, even

The Esquimaux say that all living
beings have the faculty of tarrk (soul,
but especially birds. AS they have ever
been thought messengers from the
upper world and interpreters of it's de-
crees, their notes and flights have been
anxiously observed as omens of great
import. In Mexico and Peru there was
college of augurs, somewhat similar
in purpose to that of ancient Rome,
which practiced no other means OF
divination than watching the course
and protesting to interpret the songs
of birds.
Especially among savage nations and
tribes there are many different species
Of birds that are supposed to receive
the souls of the departing; they re-
ligiously abstain from doing injury to
these. In Brazil there is certain
bird, whose mournful chant is often
heard during the night, which is sup

sons to their sorrowing friends. An
other small wood bird is said by the
Powhattans to receive the souls of
their princes after death.-Current Lit

HISTORIC HOT SPELLS.

New York Had 155 Cases of Sunstroke In
One Day in 1S12.
In 1903 the Rhine, Loire and Seine
ran dry.
1t seemed as if New York was on
fire in 1858. During the week 214 pco-
pie were killed in that city by sun
stroke.
III France in IT'S many shops had to
close. The theaters did not open their
doors for three months. Not drop of
water fell during six months. In 177s
the thermometer rose to 11S degrees.
In several of the French provinces
during the summer of 1705 meat could
be prepared for the table merely by
exposing it to the sun. Not soul
dare venture out between noon and 4
p. IN.
In 1909 Spain was visited by a swell
tering temperature that is described as
fearful. Madrid and other citieo were
deserted and the streets silsnt. La
borers died in the fields, and tie vines
were scorched and blasted us if by a
simeon.
The year 1772 was fearful one in
New. York. One hundred and fifty.
FIVE cases of sunstroke occurred on
July 4, of which 72 proved fatal.
In IT'S the heat of Bologne was so
great that hundreds of people were
stihed. In July, 1793, the heat again
became intolerable. Vegetables were
burned up and fruit dried on the trees.
, The furniture and woodwork in dwell
ing houses cracked and split.
A disastrous hot wave swept through
Europe in June, 1851. The thermolne-
ter in Hyde Park, London, indicated
from 90 degrees to 94 degrees in the
shade. In the Champs de Mars, Paris,
during review, soldiers by the score
fell victims to sunst roke, and at Alder
shot men dropped dead while at drill.
In 1881 it is said the heat throughout
the United States was the greatest on
record, the thermometer in many
places registering 105 degrees in the
shade. In England the mercury
ranged from 90 degrees to lO1 degrees,
and in Asia 93 degrees. In London II
was the hottest season known in twen-
| ty-two years. The director of the
Paris observatory declared there was
no record of such intense heat.-Pear-
