The Fhrm-Poultry notes that some
breeders of good repute are Offering
sittings of eggs at prices which are
right for good stock, and in addition,
advertise incubator eggs at very
great reduction by the hundred. Sit
tings will be priced at 81, SO or S., per-
haps, while the incubator eggs from
the same breeder go for, say, Sc per
hundred The inexperienced buyer
who wants to make a start in poultry
knows something of the reputation of
the breeder and the strain of birds,
and seeing the eggs thus advertised
argues to himself that there is no use
in paying sitting prices when the
prices by the hundred from the same
flock are sc much cheaper, and so he
orders the larger quantity at the lower
price, sets the eggs, matches out fifty
or sixty chicks and is grievously dis
appointed. The eggs are culls, of
course; they are from birds that the
breeder would not sell or use himself
for breeding stock; they are simply
fertile eggs that will hatch fair per
cent. of market chickens of the breed
named, but they are not what the
buyer expected to get. The buyer Is
disappointed and the breeder suffers
in reputation. for whenever the former
speaks of the latter to others it will be
to the effect that he bought some eggs
from Mr.. - and they Matched out
scrubs. breeder when he sells I'm
cubator eggs" should for his own sake
be sure that the buyer knows what he
is getting, and is getting what he wants.
There is no wrong in selling incubator
eggs" provided the matter is under
stood, but there should be neither de-
ception by the seller nor can he for his
own sake afford to permit self-deception
on the part of the buyer.

An exchange contains the following:
"An alleged joke is now current to the
effect that an old lady troubled with
obesity went to consult a physician
Madam, said the man of science, you
are troubled with an excess of adipose
tissue Gracious! said the old lady,
I wonder if that is what makes me so
fat
We are told that certain kinds of bac-
terra produce certain kinds of flavors in
butter, and certain other kinds of bac-
terra produce sour milk; and certain
conditions bring forth certain kinds of
bacteria. Now all this is an old truth in
a new garb and sometimes we do not
recognize it any clearer than the old
lady recognized her surplus fat under
the name OF "adipose tissue"
When we ask the scientist how to kill
the bacteria that produce sour milk he
will tell us to apply heat to the vessel
after removing all the milk adhering to
the vessel. This is what we do when
we wash and scald in the old fashioned
way; and similarly when we inquire
what to do to produce the bacteria that
produce the fine flavor in butter, he will
give us the same instructions that any
good dairyman would give us without
regard to science. Intelligent dairymen
have demonstrated that in order to get
good products from the dairy it is nee
essary to observe certain rules, and now
scientists are telling us why it is neces-
sary to observe these rules.
We should aim to make ourselves
master of all the information the scien-
lists have to give us, as such knowledge
can not fail to be of advantage to us, but
we should not follow blindly everything
the scientists tell u.s. unless experience
and hard common sense are on the side
of the scientist.

Nice small cheese may be made for
home use in this way: The milk of two
cows may be set at night in a deep pail
in cold water. This will check the ris
ing of the cream. The morning milk
may then be mixed with the milk of the
previous evening, after It has been
warmed to the same heat as the new
milk. The rennet. of which one ounce
is enough for 100 pounds of milk and
10 pounds of cheese, is stirred in tho
warm milk in proper vessel. This is
covered and left until the curd is made,
and becomes tough enough to be lifted
with the finger. 1t is then cut by
long bladed knife into squares of an
inch so as to liberate the whey.
When the whey has partly separated
1t is dipped off by means of shallow
dish without breaking the curd. The
whey Is then heated to 100 degrees and
is poured on to the curd. which is COW
cred to keep in the heat. After half
an hour the curd will become tough
enough to lift without breaking when
the whey is all drawn off and the curd
is broken up with the hands and heaped
to perm ii more of the whey to drain off
This will take up half an hour. The
curd is again broken and the whey care
fully pressed out by hand, so the cream
may not escape
1t is then left another half hour
when it is again broken and sailed at
the rate OF two ounces of finely ground
salt to seven pounds of curd, and is
placed in a wooden hoop or mold, lined
With clean cloth dipped in The whey.
The curd is pressed into the mold firm
ly, and needs no weight or pressing.
When it has settled in the mold, 1t is
taken out in the cloth and set on
board and turned once day until 1t
has formed crust. 1t should then be
rubbed with butter and turned occa-
sionally during the curing, which win
require two or three months in tenn
perature of about 60 degrees.-N, Y.

The Ohio Experiment Station has
begun series of experiments in which
the three crops, wheat. clover and po-
tatoes, are grown in rotation, with and
without fertilizers of different kinds.
The experiment is to be carried on
both at the Central Station in Wayne
county, and at the North Western Sub
Station in Fulton county, and y>as be-
gun in Wayne county in 1894 by plant7
ing potatoes on land that had been
two years in corn, following grass, and
on newly cleared, yellow sand Of the
oak opening region in Fulton county
The plan of fertilizing is similar to
that which has been pursued in the
experiments in continuous cropping
at Columbus except that the fertiliz-
ers are used in both smaller and larger
quantities than at Columbus
The soil on which this test is being
made at the Central Station is a light
clay, 1t was thoroughly drained in
the fall of 1898, with three-inch tile
drains laid 80 feet apart. The plant
ing was done in good season in 1894, and
the fertilizers applied broadcast. The
potatoes started off well but their
growth was seriously retarded by the
excessive drouth of the summer.
The general results of the expert
ment were that while partial fertil-
izers, containing only one or two of the
three essential elements of fertility,
produced some increase of crop, that in
crease was irregular and uncertain:
but when a complete fertilizer was ap=
piled there was an increase of crop in
every case, and the increase rose regu-
larly with the quantity of fertilizer
applied, the largest yield, and in Wayne
county the largest net profit, after
paying the cost of the fertilizer, COM
ing from an application Of 4S0 pounds
dissolved bone black, 800 pounds nj
trate of soda and 800 pounds mW late
of potash, total of 100 pounds per
acre, costing about 500. This applica-
ton increased the total yield by IS
bushels per acre over the total yield
of the fertilized plots adjoining.
On the yellow sand in Fulton county
where the unfertiliZed yield was much
smaller than in Wayne, the increase
from fertilizer was much smaller than
on the better land in Wayne, and where
incomplete fertilizers were used it was
still more Irregular, in sevecal cases
failing to pay the cost of the fertilizer;
but the complete fertilizers paid their,
cost in every case, with potatoes at 60
cents per bushel. the largest total in
crease here being AZ bushels, from tho
same mixture that produced the largest
increase in Wayne.
This mixture carried approximately
80 pounds Of nitrogen per acre, equiva-
| lent to 60 pounds of ammonia, rs pounds
4 phosphoric acid and $50 pounds OF
potash.

Since the tile drains have come into
such general use, we find that there ia
a general antipathy against open ditch
es, and efforts are made by almost all
farmers who drain to substitute tile for
open drains, says Drainage Journal.
The advantages of covered drains over
open ones are so apparent,
and so strong are the argu-
| ments for underdrains, that it
is not strange that the true office and
use of open bitches should be under
rated. The objections to the open ditch
are several, some OF which are the fol-
lowing: 1t takes a strip of land which
with an underdrain would be valuable
for cultivation, and makes it of no use
except for water course. 1t divides
fields into shapes inconvenient for cul-
tivating, II requires considerable work
annually 20 keep it free from weeds,
grass and other distractions. 1t is
troublesome barrier when it is desired
to draw loads from one field to another.
All of these are objections and often
serious ones.
1t may be asked: What advantages
can be offered which will Offset these
objections? In many cases, none; in
others the single advantage that the
large open ditch will carry the drainage
water of several fields which the farmer
desires to drain, while tile, of reasona-
BILE size and cost, will not.
In accomplishing successful drainage,
as in any other enterprise, we must use
the means which are adapted to the
desired end. Farmers are finding that
they are trying to force more water
through their tiles than they are capa-
Bile of carrying, though many cases of
failure are owing to inaccurate laying
and DISTRACTED outlet.
The use of open bitches is to carry
the excessive food water that sometimes
fails on our land in a short time, and
above all, to give ready and free out
let to all tile drains which are dis
charged into it. A farmer once re-
marked to the writer: THE trouble
with tile drains is that | must have a
place for the water to jump off and get
away ut the outlet" He stated the ini-
tlal truth of undertaking. We must
get the water away from the outlet.
Carrying out this precept often makes
the open ditch necessity. Especially
is this true in fiat prairie lands Sloushs
are the water courses for the natural
drainage of surrounding higher lands,
and when deepened in the center by
means of large open ditch, they
afford an excellent outlet for tile drains,
and also give ready exit for surface
water which gathers in large quanti-
ties from rapidly melting SHOWS; from
rains that fall when the ground is fro-
zen, and from excessive rainfalls.

The competition in furnishing fresh
butter for the English marle. grows
daily keener. Once the Danes mad 1t
all their own way, and Danish butter
was in demand at the highest prices.
Seeing what the dairy schools had ac-
complished for that little kingdom,
other nations followed suit and began
a vigorous rivalry for the London
market.
Sweden has been so successful in
her efforts that by many her product ia
reckoned even superior to the Danish
article. French butter at one time
ranked very high, but carelessness and
the admixture of oleomargarine caused
it to fall in disrepute. 1t has only just
regained its lost footing by exercising
extreme care in the preparation of the
article and by the rigid exclusion of all
adulterating substances. By herculean
efforts Australia has succeeded in plac-
ing on the market butter of excellent
quality, and there is no room to doubt
the rapid betterment of the Canadian
and American article. The butter stand
ard throughout the world has steadily
risen. In nothing are the benefits of
competition more clearly shown than in
this one product. The average butter
has improved more within the past de-
cade than during the whole of the pre-
ceding century.-World.

In conversation with a party not
long since the question of feeding poul-
try came up and several expressed
themselves very decidedly against
Withholding the corn or buckwheat,
emphasizing his views with the state
ment, "a hen knows when she has had
enough as well as a man. This was
true, perhaps, but did not touch the
point. If an animal is fed an excess
of fat, no matter the source, it is stored
on her body. A certain quantity is ne
cessary to supply the fuel and provide
for the wastes, but over and above this
the excess goes on to the body. 1t
shows itself especially on the intes-
tines, around the giz2ard and in clog
cling the body infringing on the space
necessary for the action of the natural
functions and particularly preventing
the formation of eggs. If this food be
continued there is sure to result fatty
degeneration of the liver. Pale combs,
black combs, dead hens under the
roosts in early morning, loss of the use
of their legs are all symptoms of this
one disease the result of overlooking
fattening food. Without doubt the loss
in this direction is greater than any
other in the poultry yard.-EX.

1t may be an encouragement to our
pouItry-loVing readers to know his
Ieeoru ior one year. We Will take the
year 1871, which he began with 600
mems, partly brown and partly white
Lesnofhs. He has settled down to the
teghorn fowls, believing them to be the
interest to those that take interest in
the laying capacity of each breed.
Some have put the Leghorns as low
as lou eggs per year, while most books
.,
SET the standard at 200 eggs. This lat
Ter ngure has long been regarded as
very inaccurate. though doubtless a
mock could be bred up to that point
by careful selection
For the entire year the 600 hens lay
on an average 1854 eggs each. These
eggs brought on an average 21hc per
dozen, the total receipts for the wear
ior eggs being SlS00 He must have

total receipts were $224O The expens-
es We're; Cost of feed, $3.50; labor.
1851; interest on money invested in
fowls and buildings, $50. This gives
the total expense as 5000. The net
profit of the flock for that year was
$,l7O. The net profit per bird was
