An Experiment Spoiled.

The late Professor Hyrtl was very fond
OF animals. Some years ago one of his
fellow professors undertook some expert
ments to ascertain the loss of weight In
cases of starvation, using for the purpose
lot of rabbits. The subjects of the cx.
pertinent were weighed every day, but. to
the experimenter' astonishment, they
gained flesh instead of losing it. 1t was
some time before he found out that Pro
fessor Hyrtl had been keeping them well
supplied with food.-San Francisco Argo

A Maine Success.

A Shrinking Consumption.
IN. Y. Press. }


1t must be interesting to the free trade
theorists to scan table Ga of the statistical
abstracts of 1894 showing how the con
sumption of leading staples of absolute
necessity has shrunk since Repub lican
President was in power. Why is it that in
1899 the people of the United States con-
sumed per capita 24.O3 pounds of raw cot
ton, in 1898 only 1907 pounds and In
1894 only 1891 pounds? Eight pounds OF
shrinkage on the twenty-four means that
the people of the United States under

this is not the worst. 1t is better even to
have a short shirt than scant loaf.
In 1890 the American people consumed
8. 90 bushels of wheat each; in 1892 they
consumed 5.9l bushels; in 1898 only 4. IS
bushels, and in 1894 they got down to 3. Al
bushels-a fall from 1890 Of 2.6S bushels,
or more than third of the consumption
Of 1890. Notwithstanding the low price

In 1890 the per capita consumption of
corn was 200 bushels; in 1892 1t was
80 03; in 1898 only sc bushels, and in
1894 % as, a third less. In sugar our
consumption Is as great under Cleveland
as under Harrison-66 pounds-owing to
the removal of duties; but there has been
no increase in quantity consumed to cor

admit that an apparent exception arises to
the general law Of diminished oonsump-
ton under Cleveland, in the fact that the
per capita consumption of wool In the
panic year rose above its previous average
Perhaps the larger use of wool in that
year can be accounted for by the great
amount that had to be pulled ever the

permanent and are never replaced.

birth, the first laterals four or six
weeks after birth, second laterals or
corner teeth six or nine months after
birth, the fourth molar first permanent
one) is cut at from ten to twelve
months of age At two and one-half
years the middle incisors and the first
and second molars are replaced. At
the same time the fifth molar is cut.
At three and one-half the first lateral
incisors and the third molar are re-
placed. At four and one-half the cor
ner teeth are replaced, and the sixth
molar is cut. In case of male the
canine teeth are also replaced at four
and one-half.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

WHOLE wheat Is better for growing
fowls than corn.
THERE are few kinds of poultry that
pay better than guineas.
Do NOT allow the ducklings to go to
the ponds until they are fully feath-
cred.
LIME will kill lice; it is good disin-
fectant; 1t will purify the air; it will
make the poultry house clean snd free
from vermin.
OATS stimulate without enervating
or fattening. They form a good ra-
ton to reduce the fat of hens that are
too fat to lay well.
FEATHER pulling is largely due to
idleness 1t is most liable to occur in
active breeds that are kept confined
and have little exercise.
TIE only hens that 1t will pay to
keep through the winter are those that
can be relied upon for winter layers or
that are needed for breeders.
In raising poultry for market the
profit lies in Matching early, pushing
the chickens forward as much as pos
sible and marketing them early.
THERE never was time when car
full selection failed to give good re-
suits, especially when extra attention
is given to the selection of the male.
FEEDING wheat has tendency to
produce healthy growth, build up
the muscular tissues and aid material
ly to cause the hens to lay plenty of
rich eggs.
TURKEYS do not bear confinement
well, whether young or old. When
shut up they soon nope and droop
their wings and begin to fall off in
condition.
EGGsHELLs are good for the fowls,
but they should be crushed very fine
before feeding them. Otherwise you
may introduce the egg-eating vice into
the poultry yard.
GEESE cost very little If allowed the
liberty of the fields, with access to a
pond or stream. To attempt to make
them profitable without these advan-
tages will result in failure.
ONE great recommendation that the
larger breeds of fowls have over the
small ones is that the large ones have
to stay where they are put, while the
small ones go where they please.
Ducks never have the cholera, roup
nor gapes; hawks will not touch them;
they lay more eggs that will hatch
better than hen eggs. With good feed
ing they can readily be made to weigh

TESTING THE EGGS.
Too Much Attention Cannot Be Paid to
This Operation.


This is very important process
Contrary to what some people expect,
all eggs will not hatch. The percent
age of hatch is the number of chick
ems from the fertile eggs, not from the
number cfeggs placed in the machine.
1t occurs frequently that eggs are fer
tile but the germ is SO weak that it
will seldom live after the tenth day.
Eggs should be tested on the fourth or
fifth dav and again on the tenth day.
Leghorn, Minorca and Houdan eggs
can be tested satisfactorily 20 or 4s
hours after placing them in the incu-
bator, but Brahma and other dark
shelled eggs cannot be satisfactorily
tested until the seventh day unless one
is an expert and a very good egg-tester
is used. A strong germ, says a writer,
will show a small black spot with red
veins radiating in all directions. Added
eggs will show cloudy detached black
spots floating in the egg without any
veins attached. A red circular line
will be found in stale eggs The latter
must be removed or foul odors will be
the result. An unfertile egg is per-
fectly clear and will be nearly as good
as fresh-laid eggs for cooking purposes.
On the tenth or twelfth day the chick
begins to move and the eggs become
more and more clouded. On the eight.
centh day the egg is entirely Opaque,
except the small space called the air
cell. The latter varies in size accord
ing to the larger or smaller amount of
moisture used during incubation. BY
setting eggs under hen at the same
time as eggs are set in incubators, and
comparing them every few days, an ex-
cellent idea can be obtained of the
proper size of this air-cell. Farmers

Clover Plants and Nitrogen.

The bacteria on the roots of the
clover plants which store up nitrogen
are more numerous and active when
the plant is young than when 1t is old,
and having the plant in the soil, it
would be best to let it remain there
until it was nearly mature, or until its
active period of growth had passed.
Soon after crimson clover begins to
bloom it ceases to produce nitrogen.
With red clover it is different, because
it is a biennial; that is, provided the
borers and the clover seed nudge do
not destroy it. In recent years in cen
trail New York it is impossible to get
more than one crop from it on account
of the ravages of the root borer. The
second crop of red clover plowed under
when in bloom will be at the period
when it's beneficial influences have
measurably ceased The first crop
should be cut for hay. The second
crop will be worth nothing for seed on
account of the clover seed nudge.
