In these days Of advancement every
farmer nea.ty IL paying more atten-
ton to poultry than formerly, The
necessity for good serviceable chicken
house becomes more apparent to the
farmer the more he investigates the
subject Those that can afford to build
quite expensive houses should do so,
and will find that it will be a pay
ing investment, BY quite expensive"
we mean having all the adiuncts that
tend to make the fowls comfortable,
and with the very best Of modern ar
engagements for the floors, roosts, doors,
windows, runs and fences.
Many farmers, however, will not af'
ford such houses, and some cannot. For
such We give an illustration showing
one that may be built at very small
cost, 1t is supposed to be large enough
only to accommodate 20 fowls. The
materials for this, with the exception
Of the sash, cost less than 81, The
structure is nine feet wide, twelve feet
long, and five feet high. The short side
Of the roof is two feet long and the
long side, which fronts south and comos
to within eighteen inches Of the ground,
is seven feet. At the further end the
roof boards extend over an opening
made for the fowls to pass In and out,
The perches are one foot above toe
floor and extend along the north side
Of the interior. The bottom board on
that side IS hung with hinges 80 II

tation through the narroW-mlnd-
edness of certain factorymen;
we have lost the trade of 35,000,O05 Of
consumers across the water. Well,
what shall we do about 1t? Cry over
It? Not at ALL Let us take a lesson
from our neighbors, then let us turn
right around and say Where is the
market?" Granted that we have lost
the English market, in part, Is there
any other place where we can put our
cheese? Why, bless your soul, there are
65,000,000 Of people right around us.
Which would you rather have, 65,0O0,-
600 American people to feed cheese to,
or 95000,000 Britishers? A gentleman
came to me this morning and said: II
have got cheese in my store and |
want it analysed. l believe it is filled
cheese; it is no good" Another one
came to me last fall and said; What
can be the matter with all the cheese?"
He went on and described 1t and 1t was
evidently filled cheese. told him it
was, and that was afraid 1t came from
Illinois or Wisconsin. Every day, al
most, we hear of examples Of this kind;
the country Is flooded with them. How
long can business be run on those prin-
ciples and succeed? How long can peo-
pie who are catering to others keep
them from eating good cheese? We are
furnishing such poor stuff that nobody
Is going to eat It, 1t won't take long
to crowd the cheese off our tables en-
tirely with other kinds Of foods. Now,
let us cater for the home trade. Why
Wisconsin cannot begin to supply those
65,000,000 Of people with cheese. Wis
consin, itself, could eat quite large
part Of all the cheese she now makes, if
our people were properly educated and
had the right cheese. l have people
come to me every day and tell me they
do wish they could get piece Of good
cheese, Between feeding our people
culls and spurious food, we have pretty
nearly killed off the demand.
We now have things headed In the
right direction; we have dairy school
at Madison, which, hope, is doing
some good; we have better laws on our
statute books; we have our organiza-
tions; before me are lots Of young men
full Of the desire to do something bet
ter; full Of the desire to better them
selves by lettering the business in
which they are engaged. Now, l ap-
peal to those young men to stand to-
gether firmly for honesty. Begin by
doubling up your factories, so that
there are fewer of them with more milk
to work up.
We must begin to run our factories in
a more clearly way. The truth is, we
are awfully dirty. A gentleman told
me about buying factory up north,
where he had to tear up the floor and
scrape out over one foot of solid dirt,
which was filed with putrefying mat
ter, and carry it off and dump it into
fields and haul in clean earth, before
he could start his factory. You all
know that there is lots Of filth in the
factories. We had a number Of Ger
man and Russian professors brought
over here by the Worlds Fair, and
they were simply disguised with our
American methods. They had heard
about our American factories and ev-
pected to find something fine, but in
stead Of that they found little dirty
sheds.

The dairying interest of the United
States has grown to be one of great
magnitude. The home value Of the but
ter and cheese product, exclusive Of the
value of buttermilk, SKINNED milk,
whey and other residuum, amounted in
the census year of 1890 to about 1897, :
100000, of which amount about S216 L.
000,00 were for butter OF the tctal
number of pounds of butter prodpled
but Eat per cent was exported, while
of the total quantity of cheese made 81
per cent was exported. The consump-
ton Of cheese per capita of the popuIa-
ton in the United States was 2.74
pounds in 1870, 2.3O pounds in 1880, and
Est pounds in 1890. The consump-
ton Of butter per capita increased from
1928 pounds in 1870 and 1873 pounds in
1880 to 1877 pounds in 1890. It will as
tonish the average dairyman to know
that while over 80 per cent Of the
cheese is made in factories, only Is
per cent of the butter product Of 1899
was made in factories, and in spite Of
the development of the creamery bust
ness, since it is probable that not over
one-fourth, or at most one-third, Of the
butter product Of the past year was
made on farms.

To keep a hen in good condition for
laying she should never have full
crop during the day. 1t is not wrong
to give a light meal Of mixed food,
warm in the morning, in the trough,
but such meal should be only one
fourth the quantity the hens require.
They should go away from the trough
'unsatisfied and should then seek their
food, deriving it grain by grain, en-
gaging in healthy exercise in order to
obtain it, and in such circumstances
the food will be passed into the giz-
card slowly, and the better digested.
Gradually the hen will accumulate
sufficient food to provide for the night,
going on the roost with full crop,
where she can leisurely forward it
from the crop to the gizzard. Feed
ing soft food leads to many errors on
the part of the beginner, causing him
to overfeed and pamper his hens, and
by it they will reach condition
that is entirely antagonistic to laying.
1T is much better to feed hard grains
only than to feed from a trough, I'M
less the soft food is carefully measured.
A quart Of mixed, ground grain, moist
ened and in crumbly condition,
should be sufficient for forty hens as a
starter" for the morning, but two
quarts of whole grain should then be
scattered in litter for them to seek and
secure for themselves.-EX.

coal per square foot OF crate area per
hour, although In some trials II has
reached 70 pounds; but then the power
per square foot of CRATE area is very
high, "a indicated horse power The
boats Of this class carry GO tons OF fuel
at a pinch, and this would gaable them
to 30 at full speed for a period Of over
nine hours, during which they would
travel fully $50 nautical miles. The coal
consumption is equal to hundred"
weight per sea mile; that Is to say,
during the minutes seconds taken
to sea mile hundredweight Of coal
are burned. A ton of coal, therefore,
takes the boat five sea miles, But 1t
would only be on a rush that such speed
would be maintained, Now, other tests
have been made at about half the speed
-lS knots-and here, instead Of five
miles, the ton Of coal carried the de-
stroyer for a distance Of about SO nau-
teal miles, so that the total distance at
10 knots with the 60 tons Of coal would
be nearly 1000 miles. This shows the
great cost of doubling tho speed. The
coal per horse power at 10 knots was
161 pounds.

The Invention Of tho relephOno.

In a recent address Prof. Hughes says
1t is 30 years since his first experiments
with a working telephone. In 1865 while
at St. Petersburg fulfilling a contract
with the Russian government for the
establishment of his printing telegraph
instrument upon all their important
lines, he was invited by Emperor Alex
ander II to give lecture before the
royal family, which he did. AS he
wished, however, to present not only his
own telegraph instrument, but all the
latest novelties, Prof. Philip Refs Of
Friedericksdorf. Frankfort on Main,
sent to Russia his new telephone, with
which Prof. Hughes was enabled to
transmit and receive perfectly all musi-
cal sounds, and also few spoken
words, though these latter were rather
uncertain; at moments a word could be
clearly heard, and then from some I'M
explained cause no words were possible.
This instrument was based, Prof.
Hughes states, upon the true theory Of
telephony, and contained all the neces-
sary organs to make 1t a practical sue
cess. Its unfortunate inventor died in
1874, almost unknown, poor and neg
lected, but the German government has
since tried to make reparation by ac-
knowledging his claims as the first in
ventor, and erecting a monument to his
memory in the cemetery at Friedericks-
dora.

Munitions of War.

There are a number of new inven-
lions in the way Of armor to be worn
by soldiers in battle. 1t is estimated by
carefully prepared statistics that rs to
IS per cent of mortal wounds from bull,
let's are in the trunk of the body, and
as some of the new armor plates are
said to be an effectual preservative from
bullets at ordinary line Of battle range,
the invention is Of great value to the
rank and file Of soldiers. Heads are
small marks compared with bodies, and
a volley fired at a mark six feet from
the ground would do comparatively lit
tie execution. OF course, shots in the
head are more necessarily fatal than
those in the body, but taking into con-
sideration the difference in the size of
the target, the chances are decidedly in
favor of the adoption of the new protec-
tive device. AS the efficiency Of imple-
ments Of slaughter increases, so, to
keep pace with it, the possibilities Of
precaution multiply. Some day we may,
out Of all this murderous mass, evolute
peace idea that will dominate the
world.

Coal Consumption on torpedo Boats.

For the following interesting particu-
lars respecting the coal consumption of
the twenty-seven-knot torpedo boat de-
stroyers, we are indebted to a CORE
spondent of the Glasgow Herald He
states that the cruiser built by Messrs.
Thornycroft, on a three hours run Just
made, maintained a speed of 27.97 knots,
practically 2S knots, or for the whole
time "a nautical miles; and while run
ming this distance burned in her three
water tube boilers IN tons Of coal.

the dust box is placed in the sunnlest

not, with straw, chaff, or other like
material that can be ralIed out when

These should not be kept for market,
as they rarely sell at a price that will
pay for shipping them, although they
are a good table fowl and especially for
any one that is fond Of wild game.
They are most profitable for eggs, as
after they begin to lay in the spring
will lay regularly, at time when 1t is
usually desirable to use considerable
number Of hen eggs for Matching.
The eggs are smaller, but the shells
are thicker and harder to break and the
egg itself is richer in nutriment, in pro-
portion to its size, so that in market
they sell at the same price.
Guineas are very tender when small
and require the very best Of treatment
until they get well started to growing,
After they get well feathered they will
take care of themselves better than
any other poultry on the farm, and for
this reason they will in majority Of
cases be found profltable.-American

Tho Blcvclo watch and Holder.

Whether one is making time on a
wheel or leisurely following where fancy
may lead over new paths, the conven-
fence of having the correct time always
at hand, to be noted without the trouble
Of taking a watch out Of the pocket, or
taking the hands from the handle bars,
cannot but be appreciated by all bicy-
clists. The improvements which have
made this possible have, therefore, at
once sprung into great popularity. The
illustration represents a time-telling
outfit Of this kind, which consists of an
excellent low-priced watch and a sim
pie light and easily applied holder. The
watch is without fine adjustments,
heavy wheels and fine pivots, being de-
signed to stand any amount Of banging

ONE KIND OF PROTECTION THAT
PROTECTS.

No traveller, not even doctor, ever
objected to having his or her life saved
by Westinghouse air brake, and no
one declines to enjoy the blessings OF
Edison's Electric light or Bells tele-
phone. All these discoveries are pro-
tected by law. Civilized governments
recognize the fact that public bene-
factors are not only worth protecting,
but that they require protection for
the good Of the people, BY protecting
them the public protects itself. Dis.
coveries that increase the comforts OF
life and lessen its burdens and dangers
are the result of brains, study and
genius, and there is premium on
brains the world over.

Should Have a Few sheep.-Every
farm, If it is but a dozen acres,
should have its few sheep, and a small
orchard grass pasture for them to run
in. This grass is the earliest of all and
will afford full bite a month before
timothy is available. As this grass
has a very loose open growth 1t is well
to SOW the small red clover with 1t.
Mutton is becoming more and more
popular, and the small flock will sup
ply the farm home with the most ac-
ceptable meat, after the poultry. The
farm meat clubs will be found very con-
venient for the disposal of mutton, for
four families can easily consume a
mutton carcass in the warmest part Of
the summer, and by interchange among
each other the few members may be
always supplied with fresh meat Of the
finest quality and at the very cheapest
rate.-Ex.
