SHIPPING POULTRY.
The Kind OF Coops Needed to Insure Sat-
isfactory Results

The Kind OF Coops Needed to Insure Sat-
isfactory Results
Country shippers ought to pay more
attention to the condition of their coops
before using. Considerable stock is
lost by shipping in worn-out coops,
which come apart in transit if roughly
handled, as sometimes happens. Every
coop should be carefully examined, and
all bottoms and cleats securely nailed.
The coops should be strong, but light;
heavy wood is unnecessary if long nails
are used. They should not be so large
as to render handling difficult.
The coops should be high enough to
allow the poultry to stand easily up
right, and should not be overcrowded.
Too close packing and too low coops
nrc cruel and cause loss by suffocation.
Hens and ROSTERS should be shipped
separately whenever possible. All
poultry for the New York market should
be well fattened, and should be fed
lightly before being placed in the coop,
If it reach it's destination the day after
shipping, rs the New York law requires
that the crop be entirely empty before
KllllnS. FROM more distant points pro-
vision must be made for feeding and
watering in transit. At the beginning
of their journey they should be fed
lightly, as overlooking at such time
makes the birds sick and dumpish and
unfit for the fatigues of travel. After
the first day or two, when the poultry
have become accustomed to their new
quarters, the supply of food should
be increased. All these things should
be considered and every care exercised
to have the birds arrive)in the best pos
sible condition, so that they may sell
readily at the highest prices. 1t is
only good stock that really pays. The
shipper who does not get the best
market price for his stock should con-
slider seriously where the fault really
iies.-N. Y. World.

Experiments with Timothy.

Prof Hopkins, of the West Virginia ex-
pertinent station, has been making test
with timothy, and finds that there are
marked varieties of this grass, some of
them early, some of them late, and
others showing great differences in size
and productiveness of seed. In paper
read before the society for the promo
ton of agricultural science at it's late
meeting at Springfield, Mass, he shovel
that if pure seed of the early variety
could be secured it would be of special
value to grow with red clover, since it
would be at the proper stage for cut
ting when the clover would have the
highest value for hay. There is evil
IDENTIFY very much of practical value to
be learned from the study of grasses
and grass seed.

To Clean Your Trunk.

A woman who likes fresh, new.
looking trunk, quite unconscious that
there are travellers who prize each
label and dent on their baggage as one
of the evidences as having seen the
world, restores hers after the sum-

labels are washed off, the torn places
in the canvas are fastened down with
fish glue, and the whole outside is
then washed with flannel cloth dip
ped in warm water, containing n little
ammonia, and the brass corners rub
bed with a polisher and metal paste.
Stout cambria. tacls and paste put the
inside in order, and IL the trunk is

paint over the gray canvas. Leather
bags are wiped inside and out, and

wide are hemmed at either edge, close
ly plated and stitched down about an
inch and half from either hem. This
band is then set on the waist from coll

The collar is high and wide and slight

A handsome jacket of velvet is lined

How the Different Varieties Can BE Treat
ed Very Efrectually.
The Montana Experiment station
sends out the following conclusions on
smut in grains: Sinking smut attacks
wheat only. Loose smuts attack ell of
the small grains, but that of the oat is
most damaging. Clean seed, or that
eifectually treated for smut, will pro-
duce crop free from smut, but an adj
joining smutty field may contaminate
this grain for next years crop. The
only safeguard is careful treatment be-
fore planting. The disease in wheat
may be entirely prevented by thorough
ly wetting the seed in solution of cop
per sulphate, using eight ounces to n
gallon of water, but this will lessen in
some degree the vitality of the seed.
it may also be effectually prevented,
without any damage, by immersion for
10 minutes in water raised to tempera-
ture of 131 to 1875 degrees Fahrenheit.
Dat smut may be completely prevented
by treating the seed IS minutes in water
raised to temperature of 1927 to 1876
degrees Fahrenheit. This treatment
not only removes the smut but pro-
notes the growth and increases the
yield. 1t may also be prevented with
out injury to the vitality by immersing
the feed "a hours in solution of potas-
SUM sulphide, made by dissolviug 1

Mr.. Valentine Smith, farmer living in

His statement is as follows: "About O
year ago was living in the Mississippi bot

much broken in health, suffering greatly
from distension or hardening of the lower
part of the abdomen or bowels, besides be-
ing troubled with my kidneys and other
complications which rendered my case, as
had supposed, almost hopeless. had been
in this condition, although, of course, not
as bad as l was q year ago, for something
over six years, and had about given up all
hope of ever being n well man again, when,
by the many testimonials and advertise
ments / had read with reference to the
wonderful cures perfected by DR.. Will

duced to give them trial After taking
two boxes l began to feel greatly relieved,
and by the time had used up five or six
boxes l was completely cured ard have
been, comparatively speaking, well man
ever since. During all the time that was
suffering with this dreadful disease, which
am unable to name, passed many sleep

continually and was able to do but little
work. Now / sleep and eat well, and al
though / am siXty-one years Of age, / an

Numerous u.es of reathers.

Many people neglect to save the
feathers of their poultry, thinking
them Of but little value. Such persons
will be surprised ut the following uses
10 which they are put. The quilts from
the second and third joints of the wing
of the turkey are used for making
feather busters. Large quilts of both
geese and turkeys are used for feather
bone. Dry chicken feathers are use1
for cushions, and the feathers from
the large Pekin and Aylesbury ducks
are mixed with those of geese. Feath-
ers are also valuable as fertilizers and
will pay for the saving. Feathers for
market should be clean and free from
blood. Any Of the commit ssion mer'
