Soft Food for Young Chicks.

There is positive danger in feeding
too much soft food to young chicks.
The older hens seem to stand 1t we'll
and do better than when fed much
grain, but the broods Of little ones soon
get into bad shape when fed the same
kind of food. In such cases, 1t Is best
to change at once to bread crumbs and
some grain. A continuation OF the soft
food will often lead to the loss Of the en-
tire brood. The worst part of the trou-
BILE is that the first intimation the poul-
tryman has Of the bad condition of his
chicks is that he finds some OF them
dead, sometimes with full crops and
sometimes not. II his eyes were sharp
he might have noticed before the fact
that the little ones were not growing
as they should. We have seen broods
so treated that some of the harder
chicks were double the size of others in
the same brood. though all were Ply
mouth Rocks.

Swimming chamber of the machine.
AS the cream is SKINNED it rises into
the churning chamber, being cooled
down to 60 degrees in it's progress by
means of very small cooling frames,
through which ice water constantly
passes; these revolve with the SKINNER
at the rate of 5000 revolutions per
minute. The cream is forced into
tube perforated with tiny notes.
through which it energies with great
force upon each fresh layer OF cream
that rises, converting it into butter by
concussion. The butter thus formed
by granules, energies from spout into
a tub, mixed with buttermilk. The Dut-
ter is then taken out and passed
through a butter worker, which
squeezes out most of the buttermiik re-
naming, after which it is placed on Ice
for two hours and then worked little
more, and made-up. Several advan-
tages are claimed for this remarkable
machine, which bids fair to create
revolution in butter-making upon
large scale. In the first place, by Pas
teurizing the milk, disease germs, IL
any are in it, are destroyed, as we'll as
the microbes which cause putrefaction
of the butter. The process of butter
making is so rapid that there is very
little chance of any germs that may
exist in the atmosphere of the dairy
getting into the butter. especially as
all, or nearly all, air must be forced
out of the chamber of the machine by
the extreme rapidity of the movement
going on inside. When the butter is
once pressed, the possibility of germ
impregnation Is almost eliminated.
Thus, wholesome and bookkeeping
butter is produced. Another advantage
is that milk can be converted into
butter directly after being obtained
from the cow; and yet another
is that there is considerable
saving of labor. when the use of the
radiator" is compared with that OF the
ordinary separator and churn. This
machine has been in use several
months in Sweden and Finland. In
London, the demonstration of it's mer-
its created sensation among the dairy
farmers.-Thos. B. ONeil, U. S. Consul
at Stockholm, May 81, 1896.

Tho Hart In Cycling.

Il is erroneous to believe that bicycle
riding should be avoided in every case
of heart disease. Physicians who have
made a study of this question declare
that it may even be very beneficial in
certain instances in which the action IT
the heart is feeble, and in which signs
of fatty degeneration are found. In-
creased muscular exercise almost in
variably improves the condition of the
heart itself There are. however, sew
eral indulgences that persons with weak
hearts should beware of. such as strain
ing to climb hills and meeting head
winds. excessive fatigue and particu-
larly exciting the heart and calling up
on its reserve strength by the use If
alcoholic stimulants and improper food.

silver mines who are supporting the
free-coinage newspapers, distributing
free coinage literature, paying the sal
aries of free-coinage stump speakers
and backing" free-coinage candidates.
Are they doing it for the good of the
country or for the money there is in it
for themselves? Do men go into specu
lations that promise 100 per cent profits
out of philanthropy or out of greed for
dollars? Will the people who have al
lowed themselves to be imposed upon
by these silver kings persist in
scheme to add millions on millions TO
the enormous fortunes of a few score
men by depriving the plain people OF
half the value of their savings and
their wages?
The only people in this country who
could profit by the free and unlimited
coinage of silver would be the owLers
of mines, bankrupts who wish to re-
pudiate their debts and spectators in
the returns of the men who toll for
their bread. If this nation ever should
sink to the level of silver basis the
workingman would not be able to lift
his head for generation to come, tie
farmer would plunge deeply into debt
because the working classes, who are
the greatest consumers of farm pro-
diets, would have their purchasing
power cut in half. and this whole coun-

The condition of Mexico Is naturally
attracting a good deal of attention,
from the fact that it is on free-silver,
bO-cent dollar basis. Its example is,
however, of very little Importance as
an object lesson for the United States,
for the reason that other factors of
much more potency enter into the case
to determine the real condition. Still,
1t is pertinent to inquire into the facts,
apart from making an argument for or

western states. The argentiferous en-
thusiasm that aroused Colorado, FOR
instance. to high pitch has percepti-
bly, declined, and there are not few
republicans in that state who are
sanguine that it will be carried for
Mckinley and Hobart.
In Kansas it is the same way. There
is no detection among the republicans
of the Sunflower state, who are we'll

and aggressive front to the enemy.
The republican newspapers of the state,
without exception, are supporting the
national ticket most enthusiastically,
and this is Of itself a tower of strength
to the cause. Kansas has not forgotten
the glorious traditions Of the past, and
can be relied upon in the crisis now be-
fore the country TO cast her vote on the

From Nebraska, the home of Candi-

that the republicans of that common

They know Bryan there, and all that
he stands for. and are eager to register
their opinion at the polls. Missouri.
