An Electric Incubator.

The idea Of an electric incubator
has long been looked upon by poultry
farmers as too theoretical to be Of real
service. Herr Otto Schulze, who has
been steadily striving to perfect such
system in Germany, has, it is said,
at length succeeded in constructing an
apparatus operated electrically, which
overcomes the ordinary difficulties Of
the artificial Matching Of chickens. The
apparatus is easily manipulated, and
needs a small, but constant, supply
Of current. Automatic attachments
regulate both temperature and moist
ure, the adjustment working with such
delicacy that a temperature within
one-tenth Of degree Of the normal
heat Of incubation can be established.
From ninety to one hundred eggs are
Matched at one time. Herr Schulze is
said to have remedied certain points
in the electrical mother" which were
found to impair its effectiveness.
This contrivance, which is a box, in
which freshly Matched chicks can find
heat and protection, while they are
free to run about on the ground when
they choose, has been devised as an
accompaniment to the incubator.

. A Popular DeIusion.

In a recent discussion on the suita-
bility of the white race for the gigan-
tic work of colonization that is going
on in Africa, DR.. Taylor made some in
teresting remarks on the climate and
health. He says it is delusion born
of the constant assertions Of the adj
vocates Of negro slavery before the
American war that white people can
not work in the tropics. In Porto
Rico, Central America, Brazil, Chill,
Bolivia, Paraguay, etc, white men
live, work and flourish. The oppres-
siveness OF tropical heat Is to a great
extent counteracted IL proper clothing
and regimen is adopted. It Is said to
be even beneficial to many Europeans
and Americans by relieving their
nervous tension, and inducing a GER
tain ..repose'' Of manner Wakeful-
ness is rare in the tropics; the increas-
ed action Of the skin relieves the kid
neys; while the bland, soft air pro-
notes respiration. The golden rule Is
TO live so as to be always comfortable;
IN other words, to adapt oneself intel
ligently to the changed conditions.

A correspondent inquiries about the
proper selection OF seed corn. . To
insure good corn crop the first essen
tial is reliable seed for the first plant
ing. Ten days lost right at planting
time is a serious blunder, and should
be guarded against. In the selection
Of seed Prof. Morrow says that the
type Of corn to be selected will be in
Auenced, properly, not only by lati-
tude, altitude and soil, but by the pur-
pose for which the crop is to be used.
Thus many cattle feeders in Illinois
quite prefer varieties producing long,
slender ears, partly because they find
such ears better for feeding to cattle,
either when fed unhusked or broken.
When corn Is to be- sold or fed after
being shelled, the thickness of the ear
Is of less Importance. While the evil
dence of chemists is that the feeding
value Of corn does not depend on the
color Of the kernels, this is we'll worth
taking into consideration. Different
markets prefer one or the other Of the
two leading colors. Where the corn
Is to be fed on the farm, color is an
unimportant point relatively. There
Is a growing conviction that, in case
of corn as with animals, occasional
crossing often increases productive
ness and size. Even if a corn grower
is we'll satisfied with the variety lie is

Potatoes can hardly be expected to
rise above a comparatively low figure
this winter, because of the very good
crop in this and other countries This
will lead to their use as stock food
upon many farms where they are
grown. While they answer a good
purpose when fed to cattle and even
horses, more profit is derived from
their use as hog food. In this connec-
ton it is a fact worth knowing that
they should, in all cases. be boiled,
which process renders their starch
more easily digested that would other
wise be largely lost by escaping as

Care OF Young PIGS


For the first few weeks of the pigs
life it is to be fed wholly through che
dam, and it must always be rigidly
borne in mind by the feeder that when
he is feeding the dam he is feeding
the pigs. It is very often thought
less Indifference upon this point that
is the cause Of one of the most YeXa-
tions troubles with young pigs. Scours
is not considered a very dangerous all
ment, but it is a much more costly
thing to the farmer than all the other
ailments combined; as it goes through
the litter. The trouble does not arise,
perhaps, from. getting too strong
flow of milk over an extended period
Of time, but rather from too much at
one time and too little at another,
caused by spurts in feeding or by sud-
den changes in the character of the
milk caused by feeding the wrong
thing. However, the worst phase Of
the matter is not simply that the pigs
are afflicted with disorder somewhat
difficult to cure, but that it stunts
growth permanently. The pig that has
the scours never will make the animal
that it might have made had it es-
capped the trouble The fact may as
we'll be set down as settled. Hence
the man who would make the most on
his pigs must avoid scours. This he
can do only by properly feeding the
dam while the pigs are young.

Care of Valuable Calves

The following notes ON "How jersey
Calves are Grown at Prospect Hill
Farm" are contributed to the Breed
ers' Gazette: -
When three days old the calf is
taken from it's dam and placed in a
small box stall by itself. We begin
feeding it by giving it six quarts of
its mothers milk a day-three quarts
In the morning and three quarts in the
afternoon. Hay IS occasionally kept
before the calf and it will generally
eat some before it is a week old. This
treatment is continued until the calf
Is a month old, at which time the
quantity Of milk is increased to ten
quarts day, dividing it equally be-
tween night and morning, six quarts
Of the ten. consisting of the mothers
whole milk, the other four of skinned
milk. It is at this time that we begin
giving the calf with each feeding a
pint Of steamed oil cake (pressed lin
seed meaD. The oil cake before being
steamed would probably be about one
tenth of a pint. The quantity of whole
milk Is gradually decreased and the
proportiOnate amount of skinned milk
increased until at the end of three
months the calf is getting ten quarts
Of the latter daily. After this age the
quantity Of steamed oil cake in the
SKINNED milk can be gradually in
creased to as much as calf can eat
without producing diarrhea, say from
two to four quarts daily. Ground oats
and corn meal, mixed in the proportion
Of twO-thirds Of the former to one
third Of the latter, by measure, are
fed as soon as they can be eaten,
which Is generally at the age Of one
month. A handful Of this dry mix
ture IS given to the calf twice a day.
Any Of the grain left over from one
day to the next should be removed
from the feeding box. -.
The calf can do without milk when
six months old, but we generally feed
skinned milk as long as we have it
to spare, sometimes until the animal
is a year old or even two years old.
If the calf Is six months old and is not
being fed any milk, we give it then
twice a day, besides oil cake, mix
ture Of two quarts Of ground oats and
corn meal, fed in. the proportion above
mentioned. What hay it will eat up
clean is also given it. This amount of
feed is continued until the calf is a
year old or quite we'll grown. The
amount Of feed is then Increased, and
in the winter corn silage is fed at the
rate Of ten quarts a day. When a Jer-
sey animal is year old, it runs out in
the pasture both night and day, in the
summer time, and is not fed any grain
during that time
Providing the weather is right, say
mild spring and fall, or when the sun
Is not too hot in the summer time, a
calf six months old may be allowed to
run out to pasture. However, if the
heat is intense, it is better to keep the
calf in the barn, because the hot sun
shine is liable to produce diarrhoea,
and the flies will annoy it greatly

Dressing Poultry for Market.

:
Poultry should be kept without food
for twenty-four hours. Full crops in
jure the appearance and are liable to
sour, and when this does occur lower
prices must be expected than choice
stock will bring. Never kill poultry
by wringing the neck. To dress chick
ems, kill by bleeding in the mouth or
opening the veins in the neck. Hang
by the feet until properly bled.. Leave
head and feet on, and do not remove
intestines or crop. Scalded chickens
sell best to home trade, and dry-picked
best to shippers, so that either manner
Of dressing will do if properly done. :
For scalding chickens, the water.
should be as near the boiling point as.
possible without boiling. Pick the legs
dry before scalding. Hold by the head
and legs and immerse and lift up and
down three times. If the head is i'm
mersed it turns the color Of the comb
and gives the eye a shrunken appear
ance which leads buyers to think the
fowl has been sick. The feathers and
pin feathers should then be removed
Immediately, very Clearly and without
breaking the skin; then plump by
dipping ten seconds in water quite or
nearly boiling. hot, and then put im-
mediately into boiling water Hang In
a cool place until the animal heat is
entirely out. To 1ry-pick chickens
properly, the work should be done
while the chickens are bleeding. Do
not wait and let the bodies get cold.
Dry-picking is much easier done
while the bodies are warm Be care
full and do not break and tear the skin.
In dressing turkeys, observe the same
instructions as given for preparing
chickens, but always dry pick. Dressed
