Separate the Cocks and Hens.

W. H. White of Worcester county,
Mass, writes in The Country Gentleman
as follows IN this subject: From my
limited experience I am satisfied that
laying hens kept in confinement to lin
tied quarters will produce more eggs
if no cocks are allowed with them,
and that the eggs possess superior
keeping qualities. The most prolific
layers I ever had were the Plymouth
Rocks, taken when about half grown
aud confined in a yard with a small
house for shelter, and there kept, never
having any cocks to run with them.
They commenced laying when about S
or 6 months old and laid all winter and
the next summer, producing on as many
successive days as many eggs as there
were hens, and there never was q day
when there was not some laid by them.
When one does not care to breed chickens
on the score of economy it is better, in
my opinion, to keep the layers without
any cock. It saves his keep, which
will average the profit Of one layer, at
least. I had formerly supposed it essen.
tial to egg production that hens should
have the attention Of cocks, but from
experience I found that good, well formed
eggs are produced from hens which have
never had the attention"

Marvellous Achievements of Blind and
Deaf Helen Keller.
A wonderful little woman in many ways
is Helen Keller, the 13-year-old blind n
deaf protegee of Professor Graham Bell.
whose prodigious advancement in knowl-
edge marks as distinct an epoch in the
training of blind deaf mutes as did that of
Laura Bridgman long g Not only has
Helen acquired phenomenal proficiency in
the manual alphabet, with which she con-
verses at the rate of 80 words a minute, but
within the past two years she has mastered
oral language and now speaks with fuency
and SO that any n can understand her.
She comprehends what others are saying
by placing her fingers on their lips. She
devotes much time to writing, and her
c~hirography is as legible as print. She has
recently taken up the study of French and
has already written in that language let
tiers which are absolutely free from faults.
Helen's memory is marvellous. Whatever
is said or read to her she retains with pre-
cision and without conscious effort. She
quotes her ~favorite authors, Holmes, Whit
tier, Tennyson and a score of others, liter
ally by the page. She possesses a rare fac
ulty for assimilating ideas and words and
expresses herself with great refinement and
elegance. She is not by any means a mere
imitator, though, and Professor Bell be-
lieves she will make a name for herself in

it cannot fail to be of inestimable value to
the Hebrew race, many of whose prom
inent teachers have felt seriously hampered
in their work by the lack Of any popular
educational course such as the new move
e seems likely to supply.
DR.. Henry 0. Berkowitz, rabbi of the
Rodef Shalom congregation in Philadel-
phia, is the founder and director of the new
department, and the City of Brotherly
Love will be its headquarters. DR.. Berko-
WITT devoted the past summer to complet-
ing the plans for the work and made all
the necessary arrangements with the ma
tional %Chautauquan officials, who will put
the machinery of their organization in mo.
ton for the benefit of the Jewish branch.
There is, of course, an understanding that
the new branch is entirely distinct from
the main body in everything pertaining to
religious questions, and that there shall be
no attempt at PROSECUTING OH either side.
The courses Of the new department will
be identical with those of the general or
ganization except in the matter of religious
reading, suitable Jewish books being sub
stituted for the devotional works incor-
porated inthe regular Chautauqua course.
Special curses are offered for students de-
string to pursue particular lines Of study.
DR.. Cyrus Adler of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition has been invited to prepare the
course in history, and Professor Gottheil of
Columbia college will prepare that in Jew
ish literature. There will be a course in
Hebrew, conducted by the methods already
in use in the Chautauqua Correspondence
school, and a special normal course for
Jewish teachers under the supervision Of
DR.. H.. n. Leipziger, assistant superintend-
ent of public instruction in New York.
One of the most beneficent features of the
new department will be the special course
for Jewish immigrants, which has been
planned by DR.. Berkowitz. The aim of this
course will he to aid the newcomers in the
study of the English language, familiari=e
them with the peculiarities of the Amer
lean government and institutions and teach
them how to fit themselves to their new
conditions-in fact, to Americanize them.

could not do better than to cultivate the
Devon cattle.
The Devons are among the hardest
of cattle, we'll adapted to a hilly or
mountainous region. They can rough it
as we'll as anything with hoofs and horns
should be allowed to rough it. Where
oxen are necessary, the gentle, intelligent
Devons make the best ones of all. A
Connecticut dairy farmer who makes
vast quantities of Jersey butter keeps a
pair of Devonshire oxen to do all the
rough work of the farm and is sure it
pays him. Besides that, in England, the
native home of roast beef, there is a be-
lief that the best meat which comes to
the British markets is that of a stall fed
Devon steer.
Western ranchmen have heretofore
objected to the long horns of the Devon
as being in the way of shipping them,
but with the new and painless methods
of dehorning now in use this objection
fades out of sight.
Finally, if there be such a thing as a
general purpose COW, which there is not,

other breed. The cows of this family

Breed Better Horses.

1t seems hard for the average farmer
to understand that the breeding and
raising of the common class of horses is
overdone. And because they do not un-
derstand or realize this a large class are
still following up the business, mating a
that under the most favorable con
ditions could hardly be expected to bring
q marketable colt to a stallion that, all
things considered, is very little better.
The following up Of this plan has filled
the market to overlooking with a class
of horses that, while good enough of their
kind, are not what is wanted in market.
AS with other classes Of stock, the mar
ket for horses has undergone a change,
and while several years ago a young
horse that was sound and broke to work
would sell readily at a fair price now
only the better class of horses are in de-
mand.-Exchange.

Molasses For Stock Feeding.

An English exchange says: Molasses az
a food for stock, or account of the low
price at which it is offered, is receiving
attention. We are able from personal
experience to testify to the value of mo-
lasses as an article of food for cattle, as
many years ago we used it with excel
lent results. The molasses should be
thinned down with hot water and then
be used to dampen cut feed previous
to spreading on the meal and bran
intended to be fed to the stock. It
should not be given in too great guam
tity, as it is very laxative and also from
its sweetness very satisfying, but used
with discretion it is a valuable aid in
compromising q ration, and especially is
1t useful to feed to COWS near the time Of
calving, when q relaxed state Of the
bowels is q great preventive Of milk

Trottins Horses For Farm Work.

The people of the United States have
yet to learn Of the great value Of Ameri-
can trotting horses for farm teams. The
general impression is that about all a
trotting horse is good for is the race track
or a road horse, and that for farm pur-
poses or a draft team it is of but little
consequence. This is a grave mistake,
and sooner or later it will be found to be
such. The fact of the matter is trotting
horses that are of fair size make the very
best kind of farm teams. Horses that
weigh from 900 to 1900 pounds, that are
standard bred or even sired by standard
bred horses, make a better farm team
than the heavy draft horses. 1t is not the
largest horse that can pull the biggest
load or do the most work, any more than
it is the largest man who is strongest and
able to endure the most physical strain.
More depends upon the quality than upon
the size.
During the season of 1892 we had an
excellent opportunity to test the fitness
of standard bred horses for farm work.
Our farm contained $40 acres; there were
cultivated o. it last season 1875 acres in
corn and IS acres in oats. We harvested
about 265 acres Of wheat and oats, cut
about 40 acres of meadow, put in $50
acres of wheat in the fall and did 60 acres
Of fall blowing, besides hauling grain to
market and teaming lime, lumber, brick
and sand for a 2-story house. We also
built sheds and stables and did a large
amount of fencing. We had on the farm
n span of horses, consisting of half
blood Percheron and C%lydesdale, a team
that weighs nearly 1900 pounds; two
spans Of trotting bred brood mares, three
or four more common bred mares and a
span Of large mules.
The two spans of trotting bred mares
did more work than any other team on
the farm and did it more easily and
quickly and with less worry than any of
the other teams. On the mower, header,
binder, drill and gang plows they cannot
be excelled. They walk right along with
a quick and rapid gait and do their work
we'll. They need more careful and intel
ligent handling than ordinary teams, and
if they have it they are able to do more
and better work than draft teams that
work beside them on the farm. When
on the road, they go right away from
draft or common bred teams. A span of
well bred t~rotters that will weigh from
1000 to 1900 pounds will do as much
work on a farm as any span of draft
horses, and they will draw as heavy
loads.-E. P. Miller in Field and Farm.

Famous Trotters Do Not Always Show
Their Speed Early.
Don't discard the we'll bred colts too
quickly. If a youngster is bred right to
trot, Ghe chances are that he will some
day do so if given a fair chance. We
know Of no better way to illustrate this
point than to cite the instance Of the
S-year-old colt Alltell. As is we'll known,
this colt is by Axtell, 3-year-old record
2:12, out of Anna Dickinson. 2:15t,
S-year-old record 2:l9t. she by Lumps,
gel, and her dam by George Wilkes,
2:22 Here is breeding of the ultra fash
ionable kind, inbreedins to the best
family that has yet appeared, and APP
parently if speed should not come from
a mating like this there is no place to
look for it, at least not and judge by the
breeding.
Anna Dickinson was bred to Axtell the
year both We're 3-year-olds, and the same
season both obtained records better than
geo, so the foal had all the prospects for
a future fast one. Being bred as he was.
Alltell's career as Il 2-year-old was
watched with deep interest, and we are
free to say that he was a great disap-
pointment. At no time last year could
he possibly have trotted a mile in 400,
nor do we believe he could have even
gone a quarter in LOO. He looked like a
dismal failure. He was we'll gated as
fast as he could OF would go, but he
showed no speed, manifested no desire
to trot and altogether was as unpromis-
ing a 2-year-old as any one V saw.
Now had his owner become discour-
aged and settled down in the belief
which was firmly established in every
mind but his WI that the colt was Of
no account as a trotter it would have
gone out to the world that Alltell was a
failure, or what now e the same
thing-that he was "never trained" But
his owner. not seeing how failure could
result from such breeding, kept on work
ing as poor a prospect, apparently. for a
trotter as was yer hooked to a cart.
But his perseverance won, and today no
n has a more promising S-year-old
than this same Alltell. He is coming
fast, and last week worked a mile near
ly as fast as has been accomplished here
this season. He covered the distance in
2:45, stepping the last quarter in 3s4 Sec
onds, which is a pretty good clip for any
colt, much less one that couldn't strike
q respectable gait as a 2-year-old. Per-
severance has made Alltell a %trotter, and
the same thing will make trotters of a
great many other unpromising but we'll
bred youngsters. Remember that in
the horse business. as in everything else,

Live o Points.

The Texas horn fly is worrying COWS
SO much as to seriously interfere with
the milk flow in some localities. Deter
mined effort and constant vigilance will
get rid Of it finally.
A man who has locked thousands of
lambs and says he never lost one does it
simply by backing the lamb up against
a block Of wood and giving the tail one
whack with a sharp chisel 8 inches wide.
He leaves full two inches of the tail. In
docking lambs be careful to cut off only
the tail, zone of the backbone. Cut the
tail square across.
Some persons have a complete cover
for q COW in hytime to hook around her
while she is being MIXED. They call
this a milking sheet.
Remember to Sow fodder corn or a
patch Of oats or barley for fall pasture
for the milk COWS. Means must be taken
to prevent them shrinking in milk dur
ing hot weather. Then they will start
in finely in the fall at the opening of cold
weather.
Stir a little oatmeal occasionally into
the water for your horses during hot
weather. They like it, and it is good for
them.
Horses in Australia are so plentiful
and good for nothing that many of them
are killed and boiled down for glue, fat
and bones.
One of the remedies successfully tried
for the u~nspeakable Texas or horn fly is
to sprinkle the animals with a mixture
of carbolic acid and water, busting them
also with the yellow insect powder. Rub
the carbolic acid and water upon the
places where the flies bite worst.
AS o O as the sitting season is over
with your hens, kill off the roosters.
They are q nuisance. A fertilizcd egg
will terminate at a temperature of 90
degrees. Of a hot day in chicken houses
and hens nests that temperature is often
reached. An unfertilized egg will there
fore keep sound longer than a fertilized
n Nobody wants to est incipient
chickens, those that died a natural death
in the bargain.
If a calf has a bad attack of scours, it
will never fully recover, says an expe-
rienced calf raiser. And such an attack
is brought on by q single overfeed or q
drink Of milk that il too cold.
