pulse feeble and irregular, countenance
pale, exceeding weakness and a strong
desire to sleep or even unconscious
ness. Any decomposable organic ma
terial which has been exposed to ths
atmospheric dust and germs for any
length of time may become infected.
Since all putrefaction is due to living
organisms, it follows that these ma
terials which furnish the best condt-
tons for development will become in
fected and encourage the growth OF
most dangerous results. According to
DR.. Vaughn, in his work on ptoma1nes
and leucomaines, food poison may orig
mate in any one of the following ways:
l. The food is infected and the poison
Is generated only and wholly before
the food is taken. z. The injecting Or
ganism may begin the elaboration OF
its poisonous products outside and con-
tinue the same process inside the body.
3. The infection may not result In the
production of poison until the food Is
taken into the body. AS to the condi-
ton under which this subtle poison and
the ptomaines which produce It are
encouraged, they are many and AZ va

Heat. pure air, pure water and plenty OF
sunshine are the main weapons to ngnt
these enemies Of the human race.

Sun Bonnets for Horses.

Horses in London are wearing straw
hats this season. For some time the
English Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals has been agitating
the question of protecting the heads Of
horses during hot weather. This agi-
tation has finally had a good effect, and
nearly every horse that is compelled to
draw heavy loads through the London
streets is now protected from the suns
rays by a bonnet. This plan has long
been followed in France, and the hat
adopted in England is the same as that
used in Bordeaux. 1t looks much like
the straw hats familiar to visitors to
American summer resorts and bathing
beaches. The brim is wide and there
are holes through which the horses
ears project. It is held in place by be-
ing tied to the bride. Manufacturers
of straw goods are delighted with the
as they have been kept busy
all summer making the hats. They sell
bers are used that the total cost is con-
siderable. The mortality among horses
has decreased greatly since the use Of
the hats became common. AS the hats
have high crowns, there is plenty Of
room for ventilation. During extremely
hot weather in New York city the NOR
tality among horses is very large.
Truckmen there have the custom Of
tying wet sponges to the ears of their
horses, and it doubtless saves many
lives. but there is no doubt that they
would guard against loss even more II
they should adopt the humane practice
Of Londoners. even though the animals
do look rather grotesque.

partment Of Agricultural, taken from
the reports of the French minister Of
agriculture, shows conclusively the ne
cessity Of supplying vitalizing air to the
chick. The sensible hen cools and airs
her eggs. as must the successful incu-
bator operator. 1T was also found that
the eggs Of fowls which were at liberty
Matched better than those Of fowls
which were confined. In tests made
with an incubator it was found that
eggs which were repeatedly cooled and
warmed Matched much better than
those that were kept at a warm tenn
perature all the time. In one expert
ment the eggs were cooled by exposing
them to the air for one and one-half
hours daily during the whole period of
incubation. This treatment retarded
the period of incubation for three days.
The eggs became quite cold and it re-
quired about twelve hours to bring
them up to 104 deg. F., the temperature
OF incubation. In the experiment, thir-
teen out of sixteen Matched vigorous
chickens. The incubator has been pre-
v1ously used with unsatisfactory re-
suits. From a second experiment it was
inferred that the gradual heat Of the
eggs was as essential as the process of
cooling. Twenty-Five eggs which had
been laid on very warm days were
placed In an incubator and exposed to
the air, as in the preceding case. The
temperature was such that the eggs
were warmed up to 104 degrees in two
or three hours. This temperature was
maintained until the brood Matched.
The chickens pierced the shell, but they
were SO weak that they died before
leaving the eggs 1t was found that the
eggs upon which a fowl is sitting are
not all of the same temperature, those
upon the outside being cooler than
those that lie inside"

Tho Draft Horse.

Within the next three or four years
It is probable that two-thirds Of all the

says Southern Cultivator. There is a
great deal of talk about the progress
Of invention displacing the horse. but
no trolley CT bicycle has yet been found
to displace the horse. Nothing OF .
practical character has yet been dis
covered that will do the work OF the
draft horse. 1t is a class of horses.
too, that has become notably scarce In
the country. There are very few OF
them coming on. With a revival OF
business, which is certain to come
eventually. those city firms which take
pride in having their vans, drays and
other heavy vehicles drawn by fine,
heavy, snowy draft horses will be in
the market for supplies. They find
that horses of this class not only do
the work well, but are handsome ad-
vertisement of their business. Nor is
there much promise that they will be
found in the near future in the exist
ing supply of colts. Farmers and live
stock growers are looking about to find
some line of work that is not over
done. No one conversant with the sit
uation has any apprehension about the
draft horse business being overdone
now. The only thing that at present
prevents genuine draft horse famine
is the general business depression that
exists throughout the country, which
limits the demand. II the demand were
normal. the supply would be wholly
inadequate to it. The breeding Of good
draft horses wherever one has mares
suitable for the work, is, therefore, SO
far as it is possible for anyone to peer
into the future, as good an opening as
the live stock grower can find.

Contest in Michigan


It is said that dealers in Detroit have
determined to put up a fight against
the enforcement of the anti-color law
in the state of Michigan, says Elgin
Dairy Report. 1t seems to us the hand
lers and dealers of this product are
either utterly lost to all question of
right and justice or are SO satisfied
with their own wisdom in regard to the
Interpretation of the law that they can
see months ahead what the decision of
the court will be, and therefore become
law breakers rather than law abiding
citizens. The dairy commissioner says
that the law will be enforced in the
state of Michigan, the manufacturers
and dealers in oleO to the contrary not
withstanding. The dairy commission
er will have the whole commonwealth
to support him, and We hope must
earnestly that he will succeed in con-
vincing these violators that the law was
meant to be obeyed and not disobeyed.
The Dairy commissioner ana authori-
ties of that state have, of course, an
over the parties who are en-
deavoring to enforce the law in our
state of Illinois. There no appropria-
ton was made nor officers designated
20 enforce the law except in a general
way, and yet we believe the fight that
result in driving out of the state all
of oleo colored in imita-
lion Of butter.

Onions for Poultry Food.

There is no vegetable that grows of
more value to the poultryman than the
onion, says American Poultry Journal.
Doubtless it w:s one of the foods of the
fowl in its natural state, as it is found
growing wild in several parts of the
world. In Illinois and Missouri we
have found it, both in the woods and
prairfes. with sprouts short and crisp
early in the spring, that would lengthen
and tougher as the season advanced, to
bear a small Seeding onion or button"
late in the fall. We never tried plant
ing any Of the button" onions of the
wild variety. but doubtless If we had
they would have produced the same
class-smaller in size perhaps-of
onions that the "sets" of the cultivated
sorts do to-day. Be that as it may. the
onion of commerce is valuable addi-
ton to the list of vegetables that are
considered good for fowls. At this sea-
son of the year when the fowls are run
down by the heat of the autumn and
the strain Of moulting, the onion will
be found a first-class tonic. Where
there is bowel trouble, with greenish
droppings. and dysentery. onions cut up
tolerably fine and fed as often as three
times a week will prove of great bene-
at, and where the chickens have had
access to any unclean food and become
affected by it, such as decaying animal
matter. which leads to limberneck or
old-time chicken cholera, sometimes
the feeding of onions will be found ben
cflcial: although when a chicken gets =
good chance at such stuff, and gets q
big dose of it, it is about as good as
gone. Precaution should be taken to
have nothing Of the kind on the prem
ises. Onions boiled in with the warm
mash for the hens is good, and by in
MIGRATING and stimulating them causes
them to lay better. In fact onions as
q tonic and food is one of the simple |
provisions Of nature that any one can
keep handy at small cost. Don't fail |
to include them in your poultry bill of |
fare two or three times q weeA. and |
oftener il the chickens appear deoili
lated.

Tho Milk Can.

At q convention in Minnesota, ]. X.
Bennett said, among other things: In
the care of cans, they are to be kept
clean and free from rust. They should
be washed as soon as possible after
being used. Rinse first with cold wa
ter. then scrub thoroughly with a
brush both inside and outside. using
warm water-almost hot, or better, a
good soap suds, use it often anyhow.
Give particular attention to the seams
and don't forget the outsides. You
know the inside is often judged by the
outside. Finish with scalding water.
Turn your cans upside down long
enough to allow them to drain; then
leave them right side up, or on their
sides in the fresh air, and you will
have clean, sweet cans. It is a very
common error to leave them over a
stake, or on a board. This is a serious
mistake, as invariably the cans will
sour thereby. The hot air or steam
rises and has no escape, consequently
condenses in the cans and sours. Much
milk otherwise well cared for is often
tainted from no other reason. A rusty
can should not be used. as it imparts
. foreign favor to milk.
