Road Horses Are Profitable.

Plenty of people are making money
out of the horse business to-day, but
the majority of those who are securing
a fair proportion of the coin of the
realm are breeders who pay particular
attention to breeding and developing
trotting horses into handsome park
and road horses, for which animals
there is demand at present which
cannot be supplied. Too many of the
breeders expect to breed in every in
stance sensational race horses, and pay
too little attention to the carriage
horse or the one for which there is 4
never-failing demand.-Colnan's Ru-

CONVENIENT NEST BOX.
The Best and Most Simple Device for Set

The Best and Most Simple Device for Set
ting Hens.
In the early spring the average chick
en- raiser has large amount of care and
trouble in the management of his set
ting hens, especially if he has a large
number setting at one time. If num-
Der of hens are setting in open nests in
the same room, two or three will get
off at one time perhaps, and then en-
sues fighting, and probably an attempt
on the part of two hens to occupy the
same nest, leaving the other eggs to get
cold. If the hens are confined to the
nests, each one must be lifted off each
day, fed and vatered and then put back
upon the nest, necessitating no little

Reduclne the Cost of Butter.

Every farmer in the United States
ought to make as large a profit to-day
on butter at 20 cents pound as he could
ten years ago on 80 cents. The lower
price will immensely increase the con-
sumption and aid to drive out fraudu-
lent substitutes, and thus give the
farmer an honest control of the mar
ket. There are plenty of ways of doing
this thing-reducing the cost. All that
is needed is that the American farmer
shall become thinking man as well as
a nottingham There is no hope fo-
him in competing in the production of
crude, rough products.-Hoard's Dairy

Salt and water for Cows.

Recent experimenting to ascertain
whether the giving of salt to dairy cows
has any direct bearing upon the supply
of milk, showed conclusively that it ia
very expensive to neglect that human
duty Three cows were kept without
salt for one month, and during the last
half of the period the milk was weighed
twice daily. The cows were then given
four ounces each daily, and after their
capacity was again allowed to deyeloo,
because of the salt, it was found that
the increase for the half month was 100
pounds of milk A constant supply of
fresh water is just as important

ALMOST a NECESSITY.
No Poultry Raiser Should Try to Do With
out Breeding Houses.

No Poultry Raiser Should Try to Do With
out Breeding Houses.
Small breeding houses have come to
be considered almost necessity upon
the average farm as well as in the yards
of the fancier. The farmer has learned
that it is economical and much more
satisfactory to pick from his flock the
most promising pullets and a well-bred
male and place them in a commodious
yard with snug little house of their
own. From this yard will come all the
eggs that can be used for Matching. The
eggs from hens having the entire range
of the farm may be disposed of in the
general market and used for household
purposes.
The accompanying illustration is of
a small breeding house which has been
in use for three years. 1t was originally
a large organ box and has been made
over somewhat. Very little extra ma
terial was needed to complete it. Il
half sash, tar paper, hinges, hook and
staple. and few boards picked up about
the farm were all the extras needed.
This house accommodates in perfect
comfort a pen of eight or ten hens and
u rooster. The tar paper we have found
expensive and shall never purchase
more of it. 1t is rotten, does not wear

One OF the Leading PhrenOlOglsts Of
This Century Passes Away.
Professor Lorenzo Niles Fowler. a noted
phrenologist. died late Wednesday night at
the home OF his sister. Mrs. C. Fowler
Wells. in West Orange, N. j., of paralysis
He returned to the United States only a
fortnight ago, after spending thirty-five
years in chronological work in Great Brit
ain. During his stay In Europe Professor
Fowler Travelled extensively. and phren-
ologically examined the heads of some Of
the greatest men and women of this CEN
fury. 80
Professor Fowler was born on June o.
1911, at Cohocton. MY. The advantages
possessed by the boy were few. His father
was a farmer, but 1t was decided that as
the lad showed a stifdiotis disposition he
should be made Presbyterian clergyman
In 1872 he was sent to Amherst College,
where he hi as classmate Henry Ward
Beecher. Young Fowler and Beecher be-
came interested in the science of phrenol-
ogy, which was at that time comparatively
unknown, and Lorenzo finally decided to
relinquish the idea of becoming a minister
of the gospel and to devote his life to the
new science. There was g. deep-rooted op-
position on the part of many persons to
phreEology at that time. 1t was believed
that Its teachings led to fatalism, but
Professor Fowler did mitch to overcome
this opposition. Professor Fowler was
married in 1874 to DR.. Lydia Folger Of
Nantucket. Mass. who died in 1879 She
was one OF the first women in the United
states TO receive a medical degree.
