up against the poultry house. In this
way the cold will be kept out. dow
over, 1t must be looked after that dur
ing a melting spell the water does not
run into the house. Drainage must OF
course be good. Unfortunate indeed
is the family who cannot produce It's
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 luxurles
connected with fowl culture that
are Independent of mere pecuniary ad-
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 ordl-
nary winter weather. Frequent collec-
lions 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 1lth.
Lice are not so rampant at present as
they were last summer, but yet they
are still in existence. The "red mites

and near the perches. Soak them in
kerosene occasionally and they Will

ished and renewed from time to time

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
wear: whole number of cows MIXED
during the year was II, number Of
pounds of milk taken to the factory
was 70, 141, which would be 5,S44 pounds
per COW. Milk sold for $3.50; skim
milk, at 10 cents a hundred, S712; ~
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 l do not think is
the right way. I 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
her. as a 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."

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 it 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 fancier 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 edification to
themselves. That one thousand dollars
was worth more than one hundred
thousand cents to the land. 1t repre-
sented more than money. 1t was ma
terial evidence Of much that could not
be expressed in dimes and dollars. To
begin with, it associated health and
vigor with its owner. Business habits
also were necessarily formed in the
course of that decade which would be
useful in future. independence was in
dicated, 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.

United States Wool Clip of 1895.
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 United
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
the making Of the estimate Of the wool
clip of 1885, The demoralized condl-
ton of the seaboard markets hes pre-
vented the 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 fleeces. AS
partial f'set, the growers to whom our
circular letters are sent have been
more prompt and careful than hereto
fore in returning explicit information.

Poultry Notes.

Cayenne pepper is doubtless bene-
hcial 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 of
colds and chills, and promote digestion.
A little pepper is good. Too much is
an injury. Snow is with us 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 trou-
BILE. Hence it is quite important to
provide a small space which has been
cleared Of snow. The snow that is to be
moved may be appropriated to bank
