A Valuable Herd.

Mr.. George S. Angus Of Kossuth
County, postoffice Burt, publishes in
the Burt Monitor the following report
of the earnings of twelve cows for the
year: whole number of COWS MIXED
during the year was ~, number of
pounds of milk taken to the factory
was 70, 141, which would be 5,S44 pounds
per COW. Milk sold for 1890; skim
milk, at 10 cents a hundred, SIP; IL
calves this year are worth at least $50;
total S643.13; $3.50 apiece. l noticed
last year that some in writing gave
the average number of COWS MIXED
during the year, which do not think is
the right way. give the whole num-
her that was MIXED during the year,
whether it was for ten or only two
months: If man has to have Is cows
to milk, say an average of 10, then
he should count them as Is and not
10. Our milk sold for 70 per hundred,
which was two cents below the average
price paid at the factory. We aim to
milk them II months in the year, COM
mencing about November or Deem
Der. as cow will feed all winter, and
MIXED will give as much milk the fol-
lowing summer as the half-fed cow
coming in in the spring"

Tho wIsdom of tho Crow.

A natuSelist who is much interested
in birds says that the crow is the wis
est Of all feathered animals. He has
made number Of experiments recent
ly, and declares that an ordinarily well
educated crow can count to twenty, and
that he has found sentinel crow, very
old and very wise, that can count to
twenty-siX. He made these discoveries
in very interesting way. Recently
he spent some time in the mountains
Of Wales, where a company of boys
was camping out. One day he found
flock Of crows gathered round the
body Of sheep that had died, and
which lay near a barn. They flew
away as he approached, so he hid him
self in the barn and waited but they
would not come back. Then he went
out and walked up the mountain, and
they all settled down again to the feast.
That afternoon he took four boys from
the camp with him and they marched
into the little building and waited. No
crows came back. Two of the boys
went out. Still no crows. Then the
other two went out, and only the natu-
ralist remained. But the old sentinel
crow had evidently counted them as
they went in, and he knew they had
not all come out. At last the natural
list left the building and stralghtway
all the crows returned This expert
ment was repeated number of times
with varying numbers of boys, but the
crows kept count, and would not come
down until the building was entirely
empty.

Poultry Notes.

Cayenne pepper is doubtless bene-
fetal to poultry, especially in winter,
provided of course it is used with prop
er limitations. A teaspoonful, twice a
week, for fifty fowls is an abundance.
Still less will be required In summer.
There is no use in OVERRIDING the thing,
and one had better use no stimulating
spices than to feed an excessive
amount. The only idea is to warm up
the system in cold weather, ward off
colds and chills, and promote digestion.
A little pepper is good. Too much is
an injury. Snow is with lis and the
poultryman will have considerable
work on hand, not only to shovel paths,
but also to open up areas where the
fowls may come out, and exercise them
selves. A hen is very helpless in deep
snow. She cannot walk. nor can she
get upon the wing without much tr0u-
Bile. Hence it Is quite important to
provide small space which has been
cleared of snow. The snow that is to be
moved may be appropriated to bank

What One Boy Did.

Although we have spoken several
times recently on the subject of poul-
try raising by the young folks, we can
not refrain from telling the boys and
girls what gentleman in this city told
us not long since about his boy, says
the Poultry World. This account was
such an apt illustration Of what we
have recently endeavored to impress on
our readers that we will give 1t to-
them. At the age of ten years this boy
began keeping poultry. His father
built him fowl house for which moth
ing was ever paid by the son, but this
was the only expense which was not
borne by the young fancler himself.
He kept White Leghorns and his spare
time out of school was devoted to car
ing for and enjoying the flock. He
worked at the business and 1t was good
for him. 1t taught him regularity and
involved responsibilities in seeing that
his pets did not suffer. When he reach
ed the age of twenty he went into
his fathers office. His bank book at
that time showed a balance in his ia
vor of $1,000, cleared from his poultry
while he attended school. Those who
think it mot worth the trouble" may
ponder this result with ediflcation to
themselves. That one thousand dollars
was worth more than one hundred
thou and cents to the land. 1t repre-
senteG more than money. 1t was ma
teria evidence of much that could not
be expressed in dimes and dollars. To
begin with, it associated health and
vigor wi h its owner. Business habits
also wee necessarily formed in the
course Ct that decade which would be
useful III future, Independence was in
Dictated, a sense Of being Of some i'm
portance and the means Of doing for
himself were accompanying features.
All these are worth much and many
a worried father and distracted mother
who wish that the boys had something
to do that they like to do and amount
to something" would do we'll to follow
the course adopted by his father.

lower prices have prevailed. The UNI
usually large production of milk, and
therefore OF butter and cheese, was
caused by the favorable weather con-
ditions throughout the summer and
early fall The year has been without
precedent for good pasturage through
out the hot season, and In consequence
there was little decrease in the make
OF butter until the latter part OF Octo-
ber While in former years there was
large falling off in the make after
June, enormous quantities OF June but
ter were placed in cold storage in an
ticipation Of the higher prices that
come with a lessening in the make,
and as the supply Of fresh stock kept
up through the summer holders OF
storage stock grew anxious, but the
fall developed a good demand for it,
and the year 1896 closed with cold
storage goods we'll cleaned up. Much
Of this overproduction Of butter found
a ready sale in foreign markets. Hand
lers Of butter are constantly on the
lVOhOuJ lOI ndIhGlS III WhlCh " ~
ter. The causes Of increased produc-
and the export trade was a factor to-
ward that end in the last year. This
trade is growing, as is shown by the
fact that In 1896 the United States ex-
ported 1851 500 pounds, and in 1895
sent abroad 26,S2O,OOO pounds Of but
ter. The causes Of increased produc-
ton of butter apply also to the large
make of cheese in 1896. But in addi-
ton to this the passage Of the filled
cheese" law was of incalculable value
to this industry, and also of great ben
eft TO the entire dairy interests of the
country. While the data at hand show
marked improvement in the con-
sumption of cheese at home, there has
been but little more exported in 1896
than in 1895. Through and local re-
ceipts Of butter, cheese, eggs and poul-
try by months for the year 1896:

United staNs Nooi CLIP of 1890.
BY S. N. d. North, Secretary, in Bull
letin OF the National Association Of
Wool Manufacturers, September.
1896.
We present below our annual esti-
mate of the wool clip OF the Waited
States for the year 1896, In the prepare
ton Of which we have been engaged
for several weeks in an extensive cor
respondencc with growers, dealers and
manufacturers throughout the country.
Unusual difficulties have attended
tho making Of the estimate Of the wool
clip Of 1896. The demorallzed condl-
ton OF the seaboard markets has pre-
vented tho wool from coming forward
as early as usual, and in consequence
we have not been able to receive from
dealers and manufacturers as much
assistance as heretofore regarding the
weight and shrinkage Of fieece5. AS a
partial tfiset, the growers to whom our
circular letters are sent have been
raore prompt and careful than hereto
fore in returning explicit information.

Farmers are not, as are city people,
restricted for range for their poultry,
Therefore the birds should always
have large ranges, The range should
be large enough so that the grass will
not be eaten off. 1t might be thought
that this word of advice Is not needed,
yet we know that it is. We have our
selves seen farms where the poultry
run was so limited that the earth was
bare Of verdure all the time. Beyond
the run in mind was a grass field that
should have been made to contribute to
the sustenance of the poultry. There
is another point about having a grass
run for the poultry so large that the
grass cannot be eaten off. That is
that grass is a cheaper food for poul-
try, as a part ration, than almost, any
other. The grass not only is cheap
food, but healthful food, and one that
seems to stimulate egg production. The
blades of grass attract insects, such as
grasshoppers, and thus contribute to
the supply of fiesh-food, so much liked
by poultry. Wire for fencing costs lit
tie; therefore there is no reason why
a large poultry run should not be an
accessory to every farm.

Probably 1t is true that some men
nave by nature peculiar power over
WHO animals, and 1t is matter of COM
mon experience that animals sometimes
strike up sudden friendships with per-
sons they have never seen before. An
extreme instance of this kind is de-
scribed by military correspondent OF
the New York Sun: Perhaps of all the
wild animals that may be at least par
TALLY civilized or tanned, the Rocky
Mountain lion or catamount offers the
least promise; and yet in the writer's
experience one specimen was as gentle
and docile as human kindness could
make him. He followed his master
around like a dog, obeylng every wish
or nod, but would allow no other per-
sons to approach him with offers of
Kindness or anything else. This crea-
ture was full grown mountain lion,
that for some strange reason had taken
fancy to a Cheyenne Indian. Wheth-
er In camp, on the prairie, or in the
post, the brute could always be seen
quietly following the Indian, but he
would never leave his masters heels
for any reason except at his masters
bidding. Often would he accompany
the buck into the post traders store,
where his entrance was the signal for
all dogs to get out and for bipeds not
acquainted with the situation to lose
no time in taking to the counters. The
officers of the post finally persuaded
the Indian to part with his pet for a
consideration, and the lion, after being
securely Gagged, was shipped as a pres
ent to the National Museum at Wash
ington."

up against the poultry house. In this
way the cold will be kept out. How
over, 1t must be looked after that dur
Ing melting spell the water does not
run into the house. Drainage must OF
course be good. Unfortunate indeed
is the family who cannot produce its
own eggs and thus have the satisfaction
OF knowing they are fresh and good,
and of tasting their delicious flavor
There are many pleasures and luxuries
connected with fowl culture that
are Independent Of mere pecuniary cd
vantages. AS the weather becomes
cold, collect the eggs oftener. For
them to freeze means the loss of their
sale. Really the poultry house should
be sufficiently warm and snug so that
the eggs will not freeze in any ordi-
nary winter weather Frequent collec-
tions are still more essential when the
eggs are to be preserved for Matching
purposes. Wet, damp houses and yards
are the source of much disease and Ill
health to poultry. After shower the
drainage should be sufficient to take
off all surface water. The inside of the
poultry house should be elevated slight
ly so as to admit of no influx Of water
from without Fowls will stand cold
better by far than dampness and filth.
Lice are not so rampant at present as
they were last summer, but yet they
are still in existence. The "red mites"
will be found In cracks and holes on
and near the perches, Soak them in
kerosene occasionally and they will
give up the struggle. The dust bath
in a sunny corner of the fowl house is
an institution that should never be
missing, and 1t should also be replen-
ished and renewed from time to time
