the various brands OF poultry powders

as many of them positively result in
permanent injury to the hen, and from

large per cent of the eggs are not fer

thus incurred. much prefer to in
crease egg production by special diet

the meal more palatable but is stimu-

The morning meal is given at s o'clock
and is distributed in such a manner
that every fowl will have a proper al
lowance.
I water at II or 12 o'clock and give
the fowls a good dust or ash bath. This
bath brightens the feathers. giving
them fresh glossy appearance. adding
much to the luster of the plumage.

besides the exercise, We get nice dry
litter for the floor. The evening meal.

chiefly of whole corn, generally fur

Notes on Butter.

Do not use hard water to wash but
ter. 1t is more or less impregnated
with lime which induces a deteriora-
water from a very shallow we'll. as
there Is liability of surface water which
bears with it impurities and germs of
decay, writes a correspondent Of Mich
igan Farmer. The test given for salt
should be employed occasionally, as
some OF the brands now on the market
contain gypsum or sulphate Of lime.
Unless the salt is pulrerized very fine.
and perfectly distributed throughout
the butter the effect Of this adu!teration
is sometimes apparent. Years ago,when
there Was not a care taken in the man
ufacture OF salt that there is now. min
ute white spots were often found in
butter. Modern investigation and ex-
pertinent pronounce these spots to be
the result Of the action of sulphate of
lime on the butter fats. To prepare
butter for packing. pure soft water. and
pure salt are prime requisites. While
awaiting the final working, set the
bowl in a place excluded from the light,
or closely cover the top. Light has a
bleaching effect on the color of the
butter. Formerly when butter was
nade into rolls. and left long exposed
to the light. the surface showed
lighter color than the inside. There is
little call for roll butter now The de-
mand is for that which has been ex-
cluded as much as possible from the
action of light and air. and stored
wheco there is little opportunity for the
absorption OF surrounding odors. To
take advantage Of this susceptibility
to surroundings 1t has been suggested
that the atmosphere Of the dairy room
be made redolent with the perfume Of
flowers. As a people We have not yet
become so esthetic as to demand yfo-
let. heliotrope, or tuberose butter. but
We can and must Keep 1t intact from
stable or kitchen odors. To emphasize
this, q recent experience Is related.
Last Saturday . friend asked me 20

only the eye test, bought the butter.
On tasting II later 1t was found to be

return it. When will women cease to
place such villainous compounds upon

Cost of Milk Production" says:
Our records Of this herd for the year
seem to warrant the following conclu-
sions:
1. With fairly good herd. carefully
fed and kept, milk can be produced
for sixty-fve cents per hundred weight.
and fat for sixteen cents per pound for
the cost OF food consumed.
2. That individuals of the same
breed vary more widely in milk and

selves.
