When shipping poultry long distances
supply the coops with corn and water.
Do not mix a lot Of meal and compel
the eating of SOU stuff.
TO be most profitable. turkeys must
have good range. They are good
foragers and good insect deStroycrs.
but they must have plenty Of to

We hold that no farm is properly
stocked unless it has at least Il small
stock of fowls that are not half rOOst-
crS and that no farm is properly man
aged if the hens are not properly taken
carr of regularly.
If you have old hens that Are to be
disposed of this fall it will pay to sell
as 0 % as they quit laying. Grain is
not laying it will bring no paying re-
turns.
The tools handiest for cleaning are
a large sheet iron bucket of the ca
pacity of two ordinary pals, Il piece of
clapbcard about two feet long for clean
ing off the roost board, and a garden
rake for taking up the feathers and
litter from the bottom of the house.
With the Use of these it is but little
work to keep a house clean.
If you arc supplying fresh eggs to
customers and happen to find Il new
nest in the straw pile or else where,
do not put the eggs with those you
sell. Keep them for home use and you
can TRY them" when breaking. Peo-
pie that buy fresh eggs of private par
ties do not expect to have to try them
before using-that is why they pay
the extra price.-Kansas Farmer.
Keep the houses clean, and when
space is limited and the fowls cannot
get out much, be all the more particular
and do not overstock. a flock Of eight
or ten is about right, and can be nice
ly managed and kept in good thrift.
Clean off under the roosts each morn
ing, and scatter dry sand on the boards
at each cleaning. Rake and stir up
the ground at each cleaning. so that the
bottom will be fine and dry for the
busting of the fowls.

ROl.ShaEe for Dairy Cows.

What is the best roughage for daily
who have no Silo. There are those
who have tried roughage of various
kinds and noted results. One such is
JnO. w. Delk, and he gives his expert
ence in Epitomist. He says:
We have been testing for some time
the different kinds of roughage COM
monty raised on the farm, and find
that common fodder corn is one of the
best for COWS giving milk. Our cows
do better, give milk, and produce
more butter when fed on it during Win
ter than any other kind we have tried,
and we get such a large yield from the
ground. as compared with other kinds
Of roughage, making from seven to
eight tons of the very choicest per acre
when it is cured and housed as it
should be. When it is cut ut the right
stage, and properly cured, III COW
even eat the stalks. so there is but
very little waste.
Sorghum is III next preference: it
makes an excellent feed for cows in
milk, and is one of the best for young
cattle. Our cattle will all stay fat and
sleek on it, but the ones in milk, when
changed from sorghum roughage to
that of fodder corn, show a slight in
crease. both III milk and butter. Hence
we recommend fodder corn in prefer
nee to other hay or roughage, for it
has been proven to be a fact, here in
the South, that sorghum hay could not
be excelled by many others for dairy
cattle. and some eve went so. far as to
say that it was the best-none except
ed. Let that be as it may, our expert
ence has proven to us that the fodder
corn produced the greater amount OF
milk and butter, and that is what we
feed and attend to u COWS for.
It not only proves to be good in win
ter, but in dry, hot weather Of late
summer. When pastures are fail
ing we find that a bundle OF fodder
corn not only increases the amount of
butter but is eaten with a relish by the
cows. It may not produce as much
per acre as some, such as sorghum,
coW-peass ETC., but will make NOR. than
the major part of the our haying
plants per acre. besides giving SO much
more beneficial results.

"A %dairylnan contributes tho following

The ten acres, if converted into pas
ture. will keep four good COWS. The
yield of milk, per cow per annum
should be 79o gallons. or G.75S pounds.
Counting four pounds of butter to a
hundred pounds of milk. we have 27O
pounds Of butter for the cow, or 10000
pounds from four cows in ten years.
This. valued at - cents per pound
gives us :. 100.
But butter is not the only marketa-
Die product in the milk, for out of
every twenty-five pounds of whole
sweet milk. from which we obtain one
pound of butter. there remains twenty
one pounds of sweet skim milk, when
the centrifugal cream separator is used
to extract the cream from the milk. the
separation being best made while the
milk is warm with animal heat. Only
one-half of the 113.54O pounds Of skim
milk which would have accumulated in
ten years can go to the manufacture of
cheese.
FROM the remaining half of the skim
milk a be obtained equally as good
results, us experiments have shown
that sweet skim milk, converted into
pork is remunerative as when made
into cheese. Therefore let us assume
the results obtained by converting the
other half Of the skim milk into pork
just equal in value as that converted
into cheese. We then have twice the
amount of the receipts for the cheese,
or S9OS.32. as total receipts for skim
milk during the decade.
From h cream which produced the
10.SOO pounds of butter we obtained
$500 gallons of bi1,rmilk, which, val
ued at only two cents per gallon as hog
feed, at least five cents being obtained
when put on the market, we have $7S
as proceeds from buttermilk in ten
Years. From the four cows in ten
years may be raised thirty calves,
which. sold to the butcher when 6
weeks old, will have a value Of at
least $3.50 each. given for the entire
lot 4 value Of $50. From this $75 we
must deduct the price of milk used in
rearing the calves.
Assuming that each will consume two
gallons of skim milk per day equal in
value at 4 cents, we nave
for 30 calves AZ days $500 gallons Of
skim milk, at 2 cents per gallon, 5000
deducted from $50, leaves $24.GO on
value of calves. Now, therefore, the
four COWS will have produced in ten
years:

The Popular Widow.

There is no gainsaying the fact that
the widow is the most popular woman
who fits across the maelstrOm of social
life. But the law Of compensation sets
the price on all the favOrs of fate, and
the widow, however gloomy or shining
her environments, is no exception to
the rule. Are you a loved and loving
wife, with the strong right arm of the
best of men to shield and protect you
from the world and it's calumny. Then
know that the removal OF that arm
means your own transformation in the
eyes of the world to a person answering
to an entirely different description. The
world steps up higher in order to OBJ
tain a better point of view, and it fer
rets out motive for action where no mo
tive exists, and it regards you with
susricion where there is no cause. The
world has an evil eye, and the lens
through which it observes dissorts the
objects passing before it. The world
has Il vivid imagination also and a
predisposition to mistake its imag1-
nation for its memory. 1t is one Of the
traits for which popularity eompen-
safes, or vice versa, that the world
keeps an eye on widows and that their
every action is fraught with interest.
In the environment Of widowhoOd
woman must needs pay the price.

putting in his mouth the words SAM
