the importance OF proper atten-
ton to this matter, says Dairy
World. In the first place, o&iry-
men catering to foreign sup
ply need one ounce Of salt to ons pound
of butter, with parchment paper on top
instead of cloth. Then, too, the tubs
should be well soaked and coat Oh
salt rubbed on the inside beforS pack
ing the butter. This will prevent the
butter from moulding. This Is very
important part of the work of prepar-
ing butter for market. There nave
been several thousand boxes OF butter
shipped from our market, whicR nave
been received there with great favor.
These boxes hold fifty-six pounds Oh
butter net. They are made OF white
wood and lined with parchment paper
This butter sells for better prices tnan
when packed in tubs, and we would al
wise all creameries to give the matter

careful attention, and be ready 10 use
them at any time the foreign market
Is In shape to pay us as much as our
own market, so that we can dispose OF
our surplus butter. II our surplus but
ter had been packed in boxes this sea-
son, 1t would have sold in the foreign
market for more money than II Will
ever sell for here, after losing the otor-
age and interest, and, at the same time
we should have gained some favor with
the foreign market by letting therl
know that we have fine butter here as
we'll as Australia. II has been our
practice to ship the poorest butter. In
this way we have hurt our credit as
butter producing country. Now that
we have established so many creamer-
les there is less of the low grades OF
butter and more of the high grades
than we can consume at home. II Is
very plain to be seen that ii Is our
duty to cater to the wishes OF the peo-
pie upon whom we are dependent to
use our surplus butter, and in order to
Go this we must give them the style
OF package they require. as we'll as salt
ing and coloring to their wants. One
of our neighbors has just returned from
Liverpool, and he tells me he has seen
the retailer try to sell tub butter and
the buyer would not look at 1t, but
must have his butter from the square
box. The same butter would sell at
retail for two cents a pound more cut
from the box than from the tub. Now.
with these facts in view, is it not worth
our careful attention to try and build
up trade for our surplus butter. which
the writer is satisfied is going to be
increased year by year, as the dairy
business is still in its infancy in this
country.

Tapeworms of Poultry.

1t has been known for years that
tapeworms infest domesticated poultry,
and that in some cases they cause serl-
Gus epizootics among fowls. The out
breaks thus far recorded have occurred
chiefly in Europe. and as natural out
come almost the entire work which has
been published on these parasites Is the
result Of European Investigations. The
literature upon the subject Is accord
ingly in Latin, German, French, Danish,
Italian, ETC., while in the English Ian
guage we have only few short no.
tices concerning these worms. Generic
and specific diagnoses Of the parasites
of this group are almost unknown ar
ticles in the English language, while
as yet we have absolutely no reliable
data as to how many species of tape
worms are found in American poultry.
Several outbreaks of tapeworm dis
ease have been noticed In fowls in diff
ferent parts of the country, and upon
various occasions specimens have been
sent to the bureau for Identification.
From a table showing 33 recorded
species II was noted that different
tapeworms have been recorded from
pigeons, 2 from turkeys, IL from chick
ems, from swans, z from geese, l6
from ducks and from an ostrich. One
form has been recorded as common to
pigeons. chickens and ducks, forms
as common to ducks and geese, l form
as common to geese and swans, / as
common TO pigeons and ducks, and
as common to pigeons and chickens.
The treatment OF tapeworm disease
in the domestieated fowls must for the
as the records in this line are extreme
ly limited. The first rule to be carried
out in all cases OF diseased animals,
whether chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks
or others, is to isolate them from the
rest of the fock and keep them con-
lined until they have recovered. The
second rule is to destroy the droppings
with parasites, or IL the manure is
needed as fertilizer IL should be treat
ed in such manner as TO kill the oya.
These two rules can be easily carried
cut, and IL poultry raiser or a stock
raiser is not willing to set aside a
small yard for the isolation of the sick
animals, where their droppings can be
easily collected and taken care Of ev-
cry day, 1t is almost useless for him to
administer anthelmintics to his fowls
Or other animals. The chief drugs
used against tapeworms are: Extract
Of male fern, turpentine, powdered
kamala, areca nut, pomegranate root
bark, pumpkin seeds and sulphate of
copper (bluestone).

breeding Dairy Cows.

A writer in Dakota Farmer gives this
advice:
l. Select the best cows in your herd.
or that you can buy, to keep, and dis
pose of the others.
2. The best COW for the dairy ia the
one that produces the greatest amount
OF butter fat in year (fOr food con-
sumed) when being rightly fed.
8. To renew or increase your herd
raise the heifer calves from your best
COWS.
4. Test your COWS by weighing the
milk of each COW for year and testing
it occasionally with the Babcock niik
tester. and know how much butter tat
each one does produce.
5. Use the best dairy bred sire you
can get; one. If possible, that has ii
long line of ancestors that have been
arst-class dairy animals.
6. Keep a record of the time when
the cows are bred and have no guess
work about the time Of calving.
Z. 1t is neither profitable nor ncces-
sary for a COW to so dry more than
four to six weeks.
s. The udder should receive prompt
attention. An obstacle may be re-
moved from the teat the first hour, that
might battle science later.
8. After separating the calf from its
mother, feed the natural milk as soon
as drawn, for a week or ten days.
10. Don't milk the udder out clean
until the fourth day after calving
This will often prevent a chill, which
often produces milk fever.

Long Rows.-The possible gain in
time OF cultivation due to the length
ening of rows is greater than any sup
pose who have not tested the matter.
BY the watch find that when rows are
eighty rods long an acre is cultivated
in three-fourths of the time required
for cultivating in rows thirty rods long.
Long rows make work easier for man
and team. II we would compete with
the west we must plan for long. mar
row fields instead of the little square
ones usually seen. The filling of open
bitches and abandonment of useless
fences makes this possible on major
ity Of farms. Experience has taught
me that the saving of money due to re-
moval of fences was truly not needed,
the gain from cultivation OF fence-rows
and the gain in rapidity of cultivation
where rows are long, amount in the ag-
gregate to a nice sum OF money-a sum
that would materially increase incomes
for thousands If the plan suggested
were adopted.-Ex.

Profitable Which is the most
profitable cow to keep? 1t is the COW
that produces the most at the least
cost. In the ninety days test ct the
worlds fair the best COW cleared a
profit of over $73 and the poorest a
profit of only s24. Turning now to the
food account, we find that the cost OF
food in both cases was practically the
same, yet one COW had the ability to
make three times the profit upon prac-
tically the same food. There are cows
in every herd that have this ability;
find them out. In these days of keen
competition we must reduce tho cost
OF production. and this aspect OF the
cnestion should always be taken int

he is said to have presented a check at the
Maddox-Rucker Bank for $3.50 The
check was signed q" John f. Barclay &
Co.. the Alabama street undertakers
Evans presented this check to the paying
teller, and was told that he would not be
paid the money until he was Identified
He then left the bank and went to the
office of Barclay & Co He asked to be
allowed TO write a note and was furnished
with writing material Evans then wrote
note to the bank saying that he was the
proper man to collect the check and that
the undertakes were too busy to leave TO
identify him. To this note he signed the
name of John f. Barclay & Co He was
then paid the money and later it was
found that the check and the note were
forgeries.

tity. He said he could point out the man
who had done the work The second day
after his arrest Evans walked into the

south Georgia Fares Better Than

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 5.-The weekly crop
bulletin of the weather bureau, which was
issued to-day for the last time this sea,
son, says:
DRY weather and abundant sunshine
have been the characteristic features in
the northern and middle divisions, while
showers have fallen in most counties in
South Georgia. Where no rain has fallen,
growing crops are suffering for moisture.
Cotton picking has been pushed vigorous
ly, as nearly the entire crop is open and
should be picked before it is damaged by
rain. The yield of cotton is short but
the quality is generally good 1t is
thought that nearly all will have been
saved by the last week in this month
Corn is being gathered, and about an av-
erage crop will he made.
'In the southern division of the state
the weather has been varied during the
past seven days. In the southeastern
counties stormy weather prevailed on sew
eral days, with high northeast winds and
some rain. These winds caused very high
tides, which damaged rice in some sec
tons. This division of the state has
been more favored, so far as rain is con-
cerned, than either the middle or north
ern. Cotton picking continues, and a
large portion of the crop has been saved.
The entire ecrop is open. Corn is being
gathered and nearly an average crop is
made. Cane is fair in most sections"

A DUEL IN MACON.
1t Was Impronptu, and There Were
No Fatalities

Macon Ga, Oct. 5-The crack Of pistol
shots at o'clock tonight caused consid-
cradle excitement on Walnut street near
the postoffice. The occasion was a duel
between ]. II. James and Clancy Finney.
The cause of the difficulty was that Fin
ney wrote a note to Miss James, a cousin
of j. II. James asking if he could call to
see her, that he was struck with her
comedy appearance and desired an intro
duction.
Miss James gave the note to her cousin,
who went TO Finney's home and called
him. The men had never met before, and
as soon as James announced his name,
Finney knew something was wrong The
two men walked to the corner of the
street, when James told Finney he had a
note he had written to mrs cousin, Miss
James.
Instantly Finney threw his hand to his
pocket and James began to belabor him
with his cane. Finney drew his pistol and
fired three shots at his assailant, who
then drew his gun and blazed away at
Finney. Friends interfered and prevented
a tragedy. The only damage done was
with the stick on Finney's head, as none
of the pistol shots were effective. There
will doubtless be more trouble, as both
men are serious and all facts in the diff
Guilty are not known.
