The summer with Poultry.

The advantage of the summer season
is that the cost of keeping poultry is
but very little, as the larger share can
be picked up by the hens if they are
on range, The profit in summer is
fully as large as in winter, for the hens
will lay twice as many eggs in summer
as In winter, and thus compensate in
quantity for low prices. 1t should be
impressed on the readers not to feed
grain except sparingly, as the hens will
soon be thrown out of condition by too
much food when the weather is warm.
In some cases excessive heat causes
very fat fowls to succumb. With an
abundant supply of grass, seeds and
insects there will be no lack of varie-
ty. Grain should not be given at all
when the hens are inactive. They
should be made to seek their food as
much as possible, and by so doing they
will keep in better health. They
should have plenty of fresh water, and
care must be taken rot to overcrowd
them on the roosts, especially on very
warm nights.-Farm and Fireside.

THE CASH CUSTOMER.
He Is Better Appreciated in Europe Than
America.


America.
Go to the grocery or dry goods or no.
ton store anywhere in England TO
make some purchase and inquire the
price. You will receive polite an
swer, and then, if you happen to have
credit at the particular store and you
ask to have the article you covet
charged you will be politely told that
the article, whatever it is, whether a
half pound of sugar or ten pounds OF
tea, will be a tuppence or thrippence
more for booking" The tirst-namcd
price is the cash price, since the pre-
sumption always obtains that when
prices arc asked the transaction is to
be cash transaction. And what is
true in England is for the most part
true on the continent of Europe. If
books must be kept merchants and
shop-keepers entertain pet theory
that the people for whom the books
are kept should be made to pay the
cost of the same.
Throughout Europe the eminently
equitable plan obtains of encouraging
cash business by giving the cash Gus
toner an advantage over the customer
who pays his bills but once month or
once in six months, or sometimes not
at all. Here in free America in retail
establishments both cash customers
and debit customers are placed on
nearly the same footing, the cash Gus
toners and debit customers are advan-
tage in that he pays tritle more for
his necessities than he ought to pay in
order to make up the losses arising
from bad accounts.
There are many people who per force
of circumstances are compelled to pay
cash for everything they purchase at
the grocery, at the butchers, or bal-
er's, and in the majority of cases they
carry home their purchases without
the slightest show of trouble TO the
seller. Why should they not be given
an advantage in cash price over that
purchaser who not only has the pur-
chase entered on the books of the mer-
chant, but in the ma ,;ority of instances
has it delivered at his home, and the
trouble is often still more enhanced by
the merchant having to send an en-
ploye to the house of the purcha er to
secure his or her order.
To maintain delivery wagons and
order collectors and book-keepers COS :
a deal of money. Why should the cash
customer be made to help pay for that
in which he has no part or interest? If
he be his own order collector, his own
leliverer, and he pays cash, why
should he not have the advantage of
his condition, precisely as cash Gus
toners of wholesale merchants have an
advantage? The rule is scarcely with.
out an exception for the wholesale
dealer to make special rate TO the
cash customer. Why should not the
dollar or a dollar and half man be
given equal advantages? Why not de
fer 10 cash in America as European
merchants defer to it, since cash in
America is worth even more than |, il
in Europe. -cincinyRti Times Star.

PORCiNE ESCAPE PIPE.
Peculiar Functions Performed by the Legs
of a Hog.

Peculiar Functions Performed by the Legs
OF a Hog.
The hogs legs perform a function
not known to any other animal, and
that is an escape pipe or pipes for the
discharge of waste water or sweat not
used in the economy of the body.
These escape pipes are situated upon
the inside of the legs above and below
the knee in the forelegs and above
the gambrel joints in the hind legs,
but in the latter they are very small
and functions light; upon the inside
of the fore leg they are in the healthy
hog always active, so that moisture is
always there from about and below
these orifices or ducts in the healthy
hog. The holes in the leg and breath
ing in the hog are his principal and
only means of ejecting an excess OF
heat above normal, and when very
warm the hog will open the mouth and
breathe through that channel as well
as the nostrils.
The horse can perspire through all
the pores of its body, much as man,
and cattle do the same to limited ex-
tent, but the hog never. His escape
valves are confined to the orifices upon
the inside of his legs.
People often wonder why it is that
the hog dies so suddenly when he runs
rapidly or takes quick and violent ex-
ercise by fighting, but when you con-
slider the few escape pipes, their small
capacity and remoteness from the cav
ity where the heat is generated, the
wonder is not that he dies quickly when
overheated, but that he lives as long as
he does when heated up.-Swine Breed

POULTRY PlCKlN GS.

Duck eggs, when Matching, require
less moisture than do the eggs Of hens.
If strong chicks are desired, see to it
that the eggs are from healthy stock
that has not been overfed.
HARD-sHELLED eggs produce the most
vigorous chicks. Those from soft
shells are apt to be weakly.
THERE Is more profit in raising geese
than chickens, and 1t is surprising that
progressive farmers do not go in for
them more.
SEE to it that the setting hens have
fresh water and plenty of fattening
food and do not neglect the supply of
gravel and the dust bath.
WHEN shipping poultry see to 1t that
the coops are large enough to permit
the fowls to stand up and strong
enough to endure rough handling.
ONLY those chickens which are in
tended for early marketing should
be pushed. With the others it Is only
desirable to maintain thrifty growth.
EGes with dark yolks are much rich
er and more nutritious than those
with pale yolks The color of the
shell is no indication of the richness of
the egg.
DURING the first six weeks chicks OF
the different breeds weigh pretty
nearly the same. After that time,
though, there is steady and continu'
Gus gain on the part of the large
breeds.
IF you would make success OF the
poultry business, start only with q
very few, and increase as you gain ex
perience. II is the ignorant ones who
start in on large scale who make a
failure of the business. In no Other
branch is it more necessary to ''gC

PIGS Ar PASTURE.
A Practice Which Promotes Health, Thrift
and Growth.


and Growth.
The breeding sows and all young
pigs should be turned to pasture
through the summer months. 1t pro
notes health and thrift to give them
the free air to breathe in, the clean
earth to live on and burrow in, and the
fresh grasses to pasture on. Don't be
afraid Of the roofing, 1t does the pigs
good and never hurts the land.
But, it is sometimes said, If the pigs
are all at pasture we lose the large
pile of manure that would be made in
the cellar and the fields will suffer to
that extent. Not at all. The pigs
make as much manure at pasture as
when confined In pens. The only diff
ference is that In the case of the pas
turing it is scattered over the land
where it is always needed.
If one wants the effect of this meth
cd of manuring on his titled fields a
good practice Is to fence off LOT pro-
portionate to the number of pigs and
give them the run of it for the season.
The matter of distribution of the
manure is easily provided for by chang
ing their feeding grounds from time to
time during the summer. The next
season the lot can be plowed and
cropped, the manuring having cost no
labor or carriage while the pigs are
changed to pastures new.
In many cases there are lots on the
farm rough and foul with brakes,
shrubs and bushes, that may be cleared
through such management. But on a
larger scale, more intelligent man
agement and the appropriation OF
means easily within reach, there may
much more Of this kind of stock be
made profitable on our farms than is
now kept.-Rural World.

Dampn' IS In Poultry Houses.

When a poultry house is lined with
tarred paper 1t is frequently the case
that the house is damp. This is due to
several causes, among them being that
new lumber gives off more or less
moisture, and tarred paper condenses
the moisture of the room. When the
house is thoroughly seasoned this may
not happen. The doors and windows
should be kept open during the day,
and during cold weather a lump of
stone lime should be placed in the cor
ner of the room to absorb the mois-
ture. 1t is not due to the exhalations
from the birds, but rather to the damp
ness of the atmosphere, which is con-
densed by the cold tarred paper. Or
binary building paper does not con-
dense the moisture. The damp boards
will also give off considerable moisture
in the room, which will be condensed
and precipitated OH the colder tsrred
paper.-Farm and Preside.

THE editor of the Rocky Mountain
News shows that the trouble at Grip
pie Creek, Col, is due to the fact that
one-fourth of the owners of mines
working nine hours attempted to get
the others, working eight hours for the
same wages paid for men working nine
hours, to adopt their hours, and failed.
The union men then struck in the nine
hour mines and prevented non-union
men from working. The owners insist
ed on employing nine-hour non-union
men, and out of that the trouble has
come. The owners of the rine-hour
mines failed to obtain deputy sheriffs
