new ideas; most of them are written
by Fellows that know no more about
farming than l do about hunting stars.
You can, IL you want to, take up with
the notion that feeding dry bones does
any good, but the thing is so absurd 70
me that would not want folks to thiLk
that l did it. believe you might as
well feed rocks as bones.
L. P.-I think you are mistaken
about the fellows that advocate the
feeding Of bones to hens. They are not
men that write on a mere theory, but
they are practical poultrymen that
have made a good deal of money out
of the poultry business. and they be-
lieve and say that part Of their money
Is made from feeding the hens what
they need
f. Swell. haven't the hens bones
enough of their own? Besides, does
the bone that Is fed do any good?
e. P.-Certainly the bone does good,
and will tell you how. The bones that
you throw away contain some of the
most important elements of food. First
there is the lime in the bone, which is
utilized by the poultry economy in
making bones. and when the fowl is
grown goes to making egg shells. This
saves having soft-shelled eggs. If the
hens have good supply of bone-mak-
ing material they become strengthened.
You know that this is very important
point, as very many Of our highly-bred
farm animals are deficient in bone pow
er. The bones also contain nitrogen
and that is an essential element in the
building up of various parts of the body
Then there is the question of economy
These elements may be obtained very
cheaply, as large quantity of bones are
thrown away in every community. Be-
lieve me, If you will secure a bone.
grinder you will improve your poultry
and at the same time save money.

Square Cheese.

Those having the real interests of
dairying at heart have by dint of a
good deal Of hard work at length sue
ceeded in rendering it reasonably GER
tain that cheese shall be made ION the
square," that is, that 1t shall be exactly
what it pretends to be, and that
skinned and filled cheese shall no
longer be sold as full cream. There is
now a prospect that cheese will be
made on the square in another way;
that is, that it shall be put up in square
packages. The American Creamery
quotes a New York dealers comments
on a shipment of cheese received by
him put up in twenty-pound square
packages. The package is an oblong
box about 7x7x1O inches. 1t was
state brand. The dealer says that an
excellent demand for the cheese has
been met with, particularly from up
town grocers who were able to obtain
three-fourths of cent per pound more
for it than for round cheese of the same
quality. One advantage claimed for 1t
is that it cuts better than the ordin-
airy cheese. being cut in square instead
of V-shaped slices, hence it does not
dry out so quickly. The demand for
this form of cheese is quite urgent, and
dealers would be able to handle good
deal of it. OF course the square cheese
is familiar enough thing in certain
fancy brands and special makes, Linn
berger, brick and other soft cheese be-
ing commonly put up in that way; but
the idea is new in what are ordinarily
called the Cheddars, and yet there are
advantages in the form of package that
ere almost certain to make 1t popular.

Tho Rinierpest in AfrIca.

The diagnosis of parasitic diseases is
always determined by finding the par
asite or its egg, says Professor Cooper
Curtice. The quickest and surest de-
termination for internal parasites IS
made at a pOst-mortem examination
For intestinal parasites many authors
recommend the examination oil the
dung. This method has not been verl-
fed by experience, but appears TO De
tedious and difficult, and method Det-
ter adapted to experts than to laymen.
There are certain symptoms from
which one may infer that sheep are
infested with parasites. A large part
Of all the flock is affected and the
symptoms shown by the different indi-
viduals is similar. The appetite Is gen.
orally good, but individual members
present a poor, stunted. hide-bound,
bloodless, big-headed. pot-bellied APP
pearance. Other local symptoms, de-
pending on the organs affected, are
present. The most positive character
istic Is to find that number of sheep
raised together are affected in the same
way. From these general symptoms,
those depending on climatic changes
and irregularity of food or Its INSULT
cheney must of course be excluded. The
sheep owner who discovers weakness
among his lambs should not wait till
one of them dies before he endeavors
to make diagnosis, but should under
take to diagnose the disease in the
early stages by sacrificing one or more
Of the worst affected, and thus gain
time in treating and preventing the
extension Of the disease. BY waiting
for the disease to develop he allows the
lambs to grow poorer and weaker, and
when action Is finally undertaken 1t Is
upon patients that are, in many cases.
already too weak to stand vigorous
treatment and which can in no way
profit by preventive measures as they
should. The lambs examined can. II
the meat be not too poor and wateryr
be used on the table without harm to
the consumer. If the animals are at
all feverish as Is the case in the latter
stages Of the disease, the carcasses
| should be thrown away. 1t Is the be-
ginning Of the disease that treatment,
both hygienic and medicinal, is needed
and produces it's best results, and
therefore an early diagnosis and de-
termination Of the malady is fully al
terial scourges.

Shipping Butter In Australia.

There seems to be no limit to the
devising of means for the transporta-
tion of perishable produce to dis
lance, says an exchange. A new meth
cd is that of packing butter in box
made of six sheets Of ordinary glass,
all the edges being covered over with
gum paper. The glass box is enveloped
in layer of plaster of paris quarter
of an inch thick, and this is covered
with specially prepared paper. The
plaster being a bad conductor of heat,
the temperature inside the hermetical-
ly sealed receptacle remains constant,
being unaffected by external changes.
Butter packed in this way at Melbourne
has been sent across the sea to South
Africa, and when the case was opened,
seven hundred miles from Cape Town,
the butter was found to be as sound as
when it left the factory. Cases are now
made to hold as much as 200 weight
of butter, and 40 boys and girls are &C.
cupied in making the glass receptacles
and covering them with plaster The
top, or lid, Is put on by simple me-
chanical arrangement and Is removed
by the purchaser equally easily. A
saving of 25 per cent on freight and
packing Is claimed, in comparison with
the cost of frozen butter carried In the
usual way.

Nigor in MOulting.

A bulletin of the Department of Ag-
riculture says: There is perhaps no
time in the history of the fowl that in
dicates it's vigor so we'll as the moult-
ing period. Fowls that mott in short
time and hardly stop laying during
this period, as a rule, have strong
vigorous constitutions, and if properly
fed they will give large yearly record.
On the other hand, those that are
long time moulting have not the vigor
and strength to digest and assimilate
food enough to produce the requisite
number of eggs. 1t is necessary to Sc
lect fowls some time during the year
other than the moulting period. Some
indication OF their producing power
is shown In their general conforma-
ton. In selecting hen for egg-pro-
duction h6r form will give some infor-
nation of value. A long, deep bodice
fowl is to be chosen rather than one
with a short body, whose underline is
not unlike a half circle. A strong,
hearty, vigorous fowl usually has a
long body, a deep chest, with long and
quite straight underline Other things
being equal, The larger-bodied fowls
of the egg breeds are to be preferred.
1t is q rule that fowls bred for egg
production are larger-bodied than
those bred for fancy points. Whenever
vigor and constitution form an import
ant part in the selection of fowls for
breeding the size of the fowls is in
variably increased.

Cuts OF Beef.

The principal differences In cuts of
beef as to their food value are in the
proportion of bone and the relative
amount Of water, lean and fat in the
flesh, says the Field and Farm. For in
stance, in different cuts of a side of beef
Of average fairness we have found the
proportion Of bone to range all the
way from per cent in the top to the
sirloin at 40 per cent or more in the
shank. The proportion in the round,
rump and brisket would be from II to
16 per cent, while in the shoulder clod,
ribs and loin 1t would be from 20 to 25
per cent. The proportion of water in
the same materials would range from
Is to % per cent in the flank and
shank, from SO to 40 per cent in the
rump, ribs and brisket, from 40 to so
per cent in the loin and neck and
would reach nearly 90 per cent in the
round. The proportion of fat would
be even more variable, being less than
ten per cent in the shank and shoulder
clod, little over 10 per cent in the
round, between Is and rs per cent In
the loin socket and neck and from 2S
to 40 per cent in the ribs and rump.

A Cheerful PrOspect.

A nervous young minister was filling
the pulpit for a country charge that
was without regular pastor. A part
Of his experience is touchingly related
by the local paper. The very pious
old lady at whose house he stayed, in
showing him lis room. said: 1T amt
everybody I'd put in this room. This
here room Is full of sacred associations
to me" she went on. my first hus-
band died in that bed with his head
on three pillows, and poor Mr.. jerks
died sitting in that corner Sometimes
when l come into the room in the
dark 1 think / see him sitting there
still. My own father died lynn right
on that lounge right under the window
there. Poor pa he was a spiritualist,
and he allus said he'd appear in this
room after he died and sometimes l
am foolish enough to look for him. Il
you should see anything OF him to-
night you'd better not tell me. It'd be
sign to me that there was something
in spiritualism, and I'd hate to think
that. My son by my first man fell
dead of heart disease right where you
stand. He was a doctor, and there's
two whole skeletons in that closet there
belonging to him. and half dozen
skulls in that lower drawer. If you
are up early and want something to
amuse yourself before breakfast just
open that cupboard there and you will
find lot of dead mems bones. My
poor boy thought lot of them. Well,
good night, and pleasant Dreams

There is a good deal of loss in market

and though the price is higher. there
is not SO great profit as for the more
