Tho Milk Can.

At a convention in Minnesota, ]. X.
Bennett said, among other things: I'm
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 1t often anyhow.
Give particular attention to the seams
and don't forget the outsldes. 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. 1t is a very
common error to leave them over a
stake, or on 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
a foreign flavor to milk

FLINT Corn for TURKEYS.

Successful Rhode Island growers "a
a rule feed their turkeys from start to
finish on northern white flint corn,
which they grow themselves. They
take great pains to use nothing but
we'll seasoned old corn, because they
have found that new corn causes bowel
trouble. which is more to be feared in
a turkey than any other fowl, and Is
liable to be fatal. Diarrhoea seems to
be more prevalent among turkeys
than any other disease, and a
bird that gets sick is very apt to die.
Foraging in a field OF green oats may
give them diarrhoea and cause much
loss. Turkeys lot only like northern
flint corn best and fatten best on It,
but it makes their flesh more tender,
juicy and delicious. That given the
little ones is coarsely ground and mix
ed with sweet or sour milk, or made
into bread that is molstened with milk.
This is gradually mixed with cracked
corn, which, when they are about eight
weeks old. is fed clear or mixed with
sour milk. In the fall whole corn IL

Egrotoxicon or cheese poison. There
10 no appearance In cream or cheese
containing this poison by which its
presence may even be suspected, but II
there Is decided acid reaction to blue
litmus paper, and in the case Of cheese
a slightly opalescent fluid exudes from
the freshly cut samples; eat with eau
ton until confident. Persons poisoned
by this ptomaine show the following
symptoms according to DR.. Vaughn's
Investigations: From one to four
hours after eating the cheese, persons
are taken with vomiting accompanied
In many cases with diarrhea with wa
terry stools, and pain in the stomach.
At first the ,torgue is white, later dry,
pulse feeble and irregular, countenance
pale, exceeding weakness and strong
desire to sleep or even unconscious
ness. Any decomposable organic ma
terial which has been exposed to thu
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 condi-
tions for development will become In
fected and encourage the growth Of
most dangerous results. According to
DR.. Vaughn, in his work on ptomaines
and leucomaines, food poison may orig
mate in any one of the following ways:
/. The food is infected and the poison
Is generated only and wholly before
the food is taken. 2. 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 1t are
encouraged, they are many and as va
ried as the different modes Of living.
Heat, pure air, pure water and plenty OF
sunshine are the main weapons to ngnt
these enemies Of the human race.
Artificial heat, above 200 degrees r.
and the direct action Of the suns rays
are prejudicial to the life OF poison
producing organisms when exposed to
their action. The careless and sloven-
ly methods of handling milk or cream,
improperly cleaned utensils, the stor-
age in damp, foul or mouldy smelling
cellars or outhouses, the use Of con-
taminated we'll or running water, the
disgusting habit of throwing Stops and
waste water onto the ground near the
house and close to the room used for
setting the cream, and in the case Of
towns and cities, the unsanltary con-
dition of houses from faulty connec-
tions of the house wastes with the pub
lie sewers are among the many condi-
tions which lead to the development
of this subtle poison in dairy products.

The Draft Horse.

Within the next three or four years
1t is probable that two-thirds of all the
draft horses now doing the work Of the
country will be expended in the ser
vice" and will have to be replaced,
says Southern Cultivator. There is a
great deal of talk about the progress
of invention displacing the horse, but
no trolley or bicycle has yet been found
to displace the horse. Nothing OF a
practical character has yet been dis
covered that will do the work Of the
draft horse. 1t is 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 adj
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 a genuine draft horse famine
is the general business depression that
exists throughout the country, which
limits the demand. If 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 1t is possible for anyone to peer
into the future, as good an opening as
the live stock grower can find.

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

bator operator. "It 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 1t re-
quired about twelve hours to bring
them up to 104 deg. F., the temperature
Of incubation. In the experiment, thir-

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 1O4 degrees in two
or three hours. This temperature was
maintained until the brood Matched.
The chickens pierced the she'll, but they

OpIons for Poultry FOOD.

There is no vegetable that grows OF
more value to the poultryman than the
onion, says American Poultry Journal.
Doubtless 1t was 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 1t, both in the woods and
prairies, 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 II we had

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 flrst-class tonic. Where
there Is bowel trouble, with greenish
droppings, and dysentery, onions cut UP
tolerably fine and fed as often as three
times 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 decaylng animal
matter, which leads to limberneck or
old-time chicken cholera, sometimes
the feeding Of onions will be found ben
eflcial; although when a chicken gets
good chance at such stuff, and gets a
big dose Of 1t, 1t 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
and stimulating them causes
them to lay better. In fact onions as
a tonic and a 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 a week, and
oftener il the chickens appear deoili-
tated.

out to them large quantity Of food in
order that they have it within reach
all through the day. Much OF 1t will be
scattered about, lost, or so filthy that
your fowls ought not to eat 1t. Besides
this, all poultry require a certain

healthy, and this exercise they will not
take unless driven by appetite to hunt

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
err will have the whole commonwealth
to support him, and we hope must
earnestly that he will succeed in con-

meant to be obeyed and not disobeyed.

HOW TO KEEP EMBROIDERED LIN
EMS RRIGHT ann FRESH

That hand work on wash materials is far
more desirable than on silk and velvet, 50
popular few years ago, cannot be doubt
ed, yet many women complain that the
colors fade and dinge so soon that the
work is labor thrown away. But this is
an error, for If properly laundried, wash
silks may be kept fresh and bright until
the articles they adorn are past usefulness.
The doing Of the embroidery is no daintier
work than that of keeping it in good order,
and only by doing it herself can the tasty
woman have her fancy linens kept bright
and pretty.
When ready to do the work, select a
bright day, FIJI small tub nearly full of
warm water and add little Ivory soap to
make suds, put each piece in and wash
carefully. After each article is clean,
rinse in slightly blue water, to which
little thin starch is added, wiring and hang
in the shade When dry, sprinkle, fold,
and let stand half an hour. Iron on the
wrong side, pressing down heavily to
throw out the stitches of the embroidery,
thus restoring their original beauty.
