The Practical Farmer prints the fol-
lowing: Lately we have had the
spectacle of . United States senator
rushing into print to point out that
in his opinion-oleo was cleaner and
purer than dairy butter, and to tsis
end, we give q few Of the substances
and ingredients that are used in its
manufacture, for nearly all the con
Germs make oleo under letters patent,
and while they all work in unison to
palm of the stuff as COW butter, they
each work under some form of manu-
facture and variety of composition of
cleo. And as the letter press of q
patent is open to public inspection, it
is worthy of notice by those who pre-
er oleo to butter" that according to
nese patents the following are
q few Of the ingredients used in the
manufacture of cleo which are taken
from the records Of the patent Office
and are embodied in their several pat
ents: Nitric acid, sugar of lead, sui
phate of lime. benzoic acid, sulphuric
acid, chlorate of potash, caustic pot
ash, bicarbonate of potash, salicylic
acid. carbol;c acid and many other in
gradients equally deleterious. If
these are not enough, it is being found
in some of the later Investigations
that are being made, that parafiine
wax is being used with the oleo COM
pound to make the butter firm. AS
this substance is Of a character that
acids have nc effect upon and is not
acted upon by any digestive fiji id, its
effect upon the system when con-
sumed as a substance superior to Gov

Some Stock Notes.

A mess of partially eaten food left
in his trough is distasteful even to a
hog, and makes him eat less in guam
tity and with less relish than he other
wise would.
One of the principal advantages in
keeping 4 variety Of stock on the
farm, is that a large number car be
kept in proportion to the pasturage
and the amount Of food.
A steady, every day growth will, in
nearly all cases, cost less per pound
than examining or high feeding; but
this should never be made an excuse
for stinting the ration.
Lack of care has more to do with
the wearing cut Of farm horses than
has hard work. The race horse is
good at twenty years, often, because
he has the best care intelligence and
self interest can give.
In breeding it is not sufficient that
the individual possesses good qualities,
but his ancestors must have them, and
the greater number of generations
back, the greater the power to trans
mi. to its offspring.
For healthy pigs in summer, grass
and clover. as much as they can eat,
with plenty of sweet milk can be
given with profit If the milk can be

their future growth and development

Experience With Poultry.
To THE FARMERS REVIEW: In your
issue of Aug. 1 I read an article from
the Poultry Journal where q writer
9ives it rs his opinion that 100 hens
can not be proftably kept together in
one flock. OF all subjects pertaining
to agriculture, stock and poultry, I be-
lieve those of poultry are of the most
variance. l have read with much in
terest the report of poultry raisers
and egg producers in the REVIEW this
past season ana find we can learn
something in nearly every article;
among other things that I am not
alone in the world by not agreeing
with all my neighbors' ideas We keep
about one hundred hens on an aver

seven hens, 1 to 3 years old, and sew

we finished our hen house, l2x4O feet,
with q space of sx26 feet devoted to
the fowls, and on Jan. l began with

our method in feeding is, in the morn
ing, mess of boiled culled potatoes with
bran, three or four times a week, and
wheat every morning with o and
some oats in the evening, and meat
generally before them; abundance of
fresh water always. During Janu-

THE FARM DAY-We do not look
favorably upon this fourteen hours a

and never ends well. A man may &C.
casionally in some unforeseen way get
into circumstances that compel such a
sacrifice for a limited time, and this is
excusable, but to 60 deliberately about
arranging ones affairs with the ex-
p~ectation of putting in this amount of
time at manual labor in each twenty
four hours of the season is out of
reason. 1t is not consistent with the
fundamental ideas Of existence. From

should cost but very little. An mex

we'll as the warmth absorbed by the

temperature is very high, is sometimes

diameter, with a ferule of walrus tusk or
the tooth of a bear Oh the bottom. BY
thrusting this into the snow he can tell
whether the layers deposited by success
sive winds are separated by bands of
soft snow, which would cause the blocks
to break. When the snow is sele cted he
digs a pit to the depth of eighteen inches
or two feet, or about the length Of the
snow block. He then steps into the pit
and proceeds to cut out the blocks by
first cutting down at the ends of the pit
and then at the bottom afterward, cut
ting a little channel about an inch or two
deep, making the thickness of the pro
posed block.
Now comes the part that requires
practice to accomplish successfully.
The expert will, with a few tllrusts of his
knife in inst the right places, split off
the snow-blOck and lift it carefully ont
to await removal to its position on the
wall. The tyrO will almost inevitably
break the block into two or three pieces

When two men are building an iglOO,
one cuts the blocks and the other erects

been cut out to commence work with,

then arranged, the blocks placed so as
to incline inward and resting against
each other at the ends, thus affording
mutual support. When this row is COM
pleted, the builder cuts away the first
and second blocks, slanting in from
the ground upward. SO that the second
tier, resting upon the first row, can be
continued on and around spirally, and
by gradually increasing the inward slant
a perfect dome is constructed of such
strength that the builder can lie flat

IN . friendly way toward that corpor-
alton, but has sought to maintain his
reputation as q railroad fighter by still
more furious attacks on tho Burling-
ton. He now charges that Col. Majors,
republican candidate for governor, was
nominated through the domination of
the Burlington. As to this, it is we'll
known that two years ago Majors was
defeated for the republican nomlna-
ton for governor and that the Burling-
ton made no secret of its preference for
Gov. Crounse, who was nominated and
elected.

Notwithstanding his bitter opposition
to Majors, which was characterized by
the continued publication of all these
matters which he now charges, Col.
Majors was put upon the state ticket
and elected rs acknowledgements by
the highest plurality on the whole
ticket. The candidacy of Col. Majors
for governor has invited and aroused
the energy of his party and put into
the old soldier element of the state an
enthusiasm such as we have not seen
for years. l first met Tom Majors as a

lie was then a young man of 10. He
was under my eye at Ecnelson, Shiloh,
and other battles of the war. He was
conspicuous during the five years of his
service for personal bravery, popularity,
and for his fine executive force in han
ding men.
IL want to say in conclusion that no
state in the Union has made a better
for devotion 10 the republican
party and good government than Ne

Nebraska indorse a man for governor
of the state with such enthusiasm as
they are now indorsing Tom Majors, it
is a certificate of character that any
American citizen might be proud of,

than 500 chicks since March l, and are

Chickens via the Brooder.
It is . fact, not to be disputed, that
we can successfully hatch chickens by
artificial means. But to raise these
little Jumps of down, SO Matched, is by
far a different and also a somewhat
difficult problem that not every one {
who uses an incubator boast of
solving, says a writer in Western
Ploughman. Here is a little of my
experience and method with chicks
and brooders: In the first place l
leave my chicks in the incubator until
perfectly dry, then transfer them to
the brooder. 1 like the hot water
brooder overhead heat much the best, |
which 1 keep at such a temperature
the first two or three days or longer, |
according to the extremity Of the
weather, as will cause the little fe;-
lows to lie around in a drowsy sort of
q way. Give no food whatever for
thirty-six hours l believe this is alb
solutely the best rule to 60 by. would
rather say forty hours than any
thing under thirty-six, from the
simple fact that the very last thing
the chick does before breaking the
shell is to absorb the yelk, and this
should be given sufficient time to di-
gest before any food is given. then
give each about two drops of cream
and nothing more for eight or ten
hours and this is then about their bed
time. when l repeat the dose and
leave them for the night. On the fol-
lowing morning l give them cracked
corn about the size of No. s shot, and
here let me say that if you are run
ming the incubator constantly, l be-
lieve it to be a good plan to leave one
two 3-weeks-old chicks in each
pen Of the newly Matched ones, as By
60 doing the older ones soon teach
the younger to pick and where to
drink. Generally one or two days is
all that is necessary. and you can
then turn the teachers out with
the older brood. Feed regularly three
times a day.
