Puer Breeds and Scrubs.

If it could be satisfactory to try the
experiment let any one take six pure
breed hens, and six of the common kind
and keep both lots together, under the
same conditions, and the pure breed
hens will show their superiority. If the
common fowls are small in size use the
small pure breeds, such as Leghorns, but
if the hens are large use with them Bra
hams. 1t is by such experiments that
and by close observation and com parison
he will be able to notice many points of
difference which cannot be explained in
any possible manner.

How Eggs are Hatched.

People have an idea that the hen sits
on the eggs for certain time, and when
the time comes for Matching the chicks
burst forth There is not d greater mis-
take. The chick, until liberated from
the shell by outside aid, is as incapable
OF motion as if it formed solid with the
egg. which it nearly does. You might
as we'll enclose Il man in an iron boiler.
and tell him to get out of the shell, with
out help The chick grows on the in
side Of the shell, until at last the excres-
cence on the point of the beak of the
bird presses against the inside of the
shell, and bursts up very small scale.
Of course, when 1t does this, it, at the
time, "breaks in that spot" the inside
skin of the egg. This admits the air: in
a short time it breaths and gets strength
to Cry loudly. The hen then sets to work
to liberate it; she brings it forward under
the feathers of the crop, and, supporting
it between the breast bone and the nest,
begins the work of setting it free She
bitches the point of her beak into the
hole formed by the raising Of the scale
by the chicks beak, and breaks away the
egg-slxin or shell all around the greatest
diameter of the egg. The Joint efforts
of the hen without and the chick within
then liberate the prisoner, and he
struggles into existence and gets dry
under the feathers and the natural heat
of the hen. All female birds, which set
on their eggs to hatch them, have the
hook in the beak strongly developed.
Even the broad billed duck and goose
have those hooks specially developed,
aud with them they liberate their young.
In Australia, where everything seems to
be by contraries, it is the cock of the
bush turkey that matches the eggs, and
not the hen. 1t would be interesting to
know whether the hook of the beak is
better adapted for their service in the
male bird than in the female. The hook
on the beak of the ordinary cock of the
common fowl is quite different from
that of the hen-itis adapted for wound
ing in fighting, but not for Matching
Home Guest.

The Value of Grit.

Before you ask us what is the best
remedy for cholera, please examine the
grit box See if it is full. See if the
grit is sharp. Round stones will not
grind they must have sharp edges, and
they must be in constant supply. In
digestion follows Il scarcity of grit and
indigestion is very often taken for chol-
era. See to 1t that there is Il constant
supply OF the right article.-lowa Home

limestone, ground shells, or even plaster,
may be used, but shells are sufficient.
Unless the hens are in proper condition.
and not too fat, all the lime they may
eat will not prevent soft shell eggs,
though many persons suppose when the
hens lay soft shell eggs it is because
lime is lacking.

A covered tin pail will serve as a receptacle
for bottles and water. A shallow bench
on which to set the bottles to keep them
from dumping" may be made from tin
plate punched full of holes. An inverted
bowl or block will serve to equalize
level of milk in different sized bottles
where such are used. Cover is removed
when temperature of water is taken.
pints and quart cans are used at the
same time, an inverted dish or piece of
wood will equalize the level.) Set these
in fat bottomed tin pail and fill with
warm water to same level as milk. An
inverted pie tin punched with holes
will serve as a stand on which to place
the bottles during the heating proceso.
8. Heat water in pail until the tenn
peraturc reaches one hundred AMI
sixty degrees Fahrenheit; then remove
from source of direct heat, cover with a
cloth of tin cover, and allow the whole
to stand for half an hour.
4. Remove bottles of milk and cool
them as rapidly as possible without
danger to bottles, and there in refrig-
orator.
There are several devices that have
been suggested for this purpose, but
this simple method is quite as efficient
as any other. Milk treated in this way
ought to keep perfectly sweet for sew
eral days.

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

The severe drought has stopped the
operation of creameries IN many parts
of the country.
We have noticed more reports of poi
soning from cheese this year than ever
before. This is possibly because the peo
pie are learning to distinguish the
symptoms of this sort of poison bet
ter than formerly.
1t is important in the dry season
that the cows have plentiful supply
of fresh pure water. If they have
plenty of this they will do much better
on the dry grass than they will if the
water furnished them is impure and
stagnant.
The Michigan State Dairy association
will hold series of dairy institutes It
the county fairs of that state this fall,
which will doubtless be of great benefit
to those who Sttend and attract inter-
est to this industry. The idea might be
carried out in other states with profit.

1 concluded, after the enemy had re-
treated and all was quiet, to go to tho
left and take a look at things. Our
brigade, Carlin's, had been but slight
ly engaged, and suffered but little
loss. The further to the left / went
the worse was the destruction. Dead
men and horses were scattered every
where. In some places hogs were eat

were gathered in groups and rail pens
built around them. Many of them
We're terribly swollen; that is, of our
dead. The bodies of the confederates
wero not so badly swollen. The great
swelling of the bodies of the dead
union soldiers was due to the fact that
they ate good deal of meat, while
the confederates, who ate little meat,
did not swell rapidly.
But, as / was saying, the further 1

battery, presented to him by the ladies
of Cincinnati, and that the confeder-
ates, who had captured it, being unable
to take it off when they retreated, for
want of battery horses, chopped it down
with axes.
"I then turned back toward my regi-
ment. On the way saw where three
wounded men had crawled into fence
corner and had been burned to death
by a she'll firing bed of dry leaves.
Near by lay the body of a dead confed-
crate, his breast having been carried
away by a cannon shot 1t seemed he
had been eating when struck, for in
one hand was clutched piece of corn
bread, which, softened by the rain,
was oozing through the fingers. In
the other hand he grasped piece of
meat. 1t was sad sight and moved
on. 1t was soon very dark, but l kept
my direction by the line of camp fires
some distance ahead. Pretty soon my
feet struck something soft and
stopped down to feel what it was. My
hand rested on something olammy, and
just then flash of lightning for an
instant revealed the upturned face and
staring eyes of a dead soldier. The
revelation was so sudden that closed
my eyes for moment to shut out the
sight, and, rising, went on to camp

The Ethical Side of pa,ry,nr.

No other agricultural line can be
compared to dairying. Hog raising
premeditates cold blooded murder.
Bee keeping is systematic robbery.
Beef raising is cold, heartless desertion
of the animals which had fed from the
hand they had learned to trust, and
horse raising, in speed lines, caters to
the dishonest greed of gain which
hopes to profit by others losses. The
boy who has been reared on the dairy
farm will not go far wrong.-Farmer's
Voice. -.

structed as 1t might be. For peoNe
who cannot do better, and must avoid
every expense possible, especially also
that involved by the plan of hot water
heating, think L can recommend the
house here illustrated (cut made after
an illustration appearing in Canadian
Horticulturist) Any person handy
with tools could put up the frame work.
The material is almost wholly scant-
ling, 2 by inches, and cheap boards.
The building should be double-boarded,
with paper between the two walls. Or
binary hot-bed sash can serve for the
roof, and the side windows may also be
bought ready made in any sash and
blind factory. The heating may be
done by simple flue, the Fireplace (for
coal or wood), being in the northwest
corner, and the chimney in the east end.
Our Canadian friend, who furnished
the idea, uses house of this kind as a
sleeping-room at night, and sitting
and working room by day. The posts
or studding along the front side are g
by inches, 6 feet high, and set just far
enough apart to allow the windows to
come between, SO no window castings
are used. The house is 10 feet wide,
and heated with 2h foot box stove
that takes in very coarse wood. The
stove pipe runs along the back or north
side of the building, behind the staging
that is under the roof windows.-Amer-

THE HEAVIEST TAX.
Farmers Pay Millions Every Year Which
Could Easily Be Saved.

Farmers Pay Millions Every Year Which
Could Easily Be Saved.
The roads of the country, says Farm
News, are disgrace besides being the
most costly of all our public works.
If we could have good roads it would
add more to the value of farm property
than all the other public improvements
put together ever have. 1t would re-
duce the cost of getting our crops to
market one half, and, in the saving o2
feed that is now fed to idle horses, it
would amount to sum that staggers
the imagination.
Every day that a team remains idle
it is something for which no return
will ever be received. If we had good
roads the teams could be used on the
farm when the ground was in condition
and the crops could be hauled to mar
lket at such times farm work could not
be prosecuted
With good roads larger loads could
be hauled and time saved in this way.
1t has been computed that the average
cost of getting crops from the farm to
the railroad station is greater than put
ting it from the railroad station to tho
sea-board, and if we count the cost of
ordinary wages we will see that this is
not far wrong.
The subject of improving the roads
of the various states is being agitated
now, and the Good Roads league is
scattering information on the subjecr,
and it is to be hoped that the people of
the country will awaken to the impor-
tance of the matter before long and al
tend to it promptly.
