Look at That Bull.

Prof. Sheldon, the eminent English
authority on dairying, speaks his mind
on the vicious practice Of using scrub
by, low grade bulls, as follows:
Look, for instance, at the weedy,
miserable bulls that many farmers are
content to use in their herds-wretched
quadrupeds that should never be al
lowed to live beyond the age of veal.
Some men say, by way Of excuse, My
poverty, not my will, consents; yet,
on the ether hand, it may be remarked
that no man can really afford to use
inferior, low valued bulls in his herd.
That any man should continue to do so
year after year can only be regarded as
kind of needless infatuation which
precludes all hope Of improvement.
The bull is half the herd is an axiom
which should be drilled into the mind
of every farmers son who Is himself
to be a dairy farmer-drilled In until
he fully realizes what it means. That
there are many of the present genera
ton of farmers who do not half COM
prehend the vast Importance of this is
greatly to be feared, for it is plainly
enough to be seen in the inferior sires
that are kept for stock purposes. 1t
would be interesting to hear the an
swers such men would give to the fol-
lowing questions: What sort of stock
do you expect such a bull will get? or,
DC you really expect to pay your way
as farmer by using bull like that?
or, What would you say If you saw an
other man burdened with similar
load of Grass stupidity? Unfortunate
ly, it never occurs to them to put such
questions to themselves, and 1t Is too
commonly nobody's business to do so
in their default. There Is no excuse
nowadays for a man who uses scrubby
bulls among his cows. Plenty of we'll
descended bulls are to be had at prices
within the reach of any man who can
afford to keep cattle at ALL

Essentials of a Dairy Farm.

A United States Agricultural Depart
ment bulletin makes the following sum
mary Of what is essential in the sue
cessful operation of a dairy farm:
A roomy, clean, dry, light and well
ventilated stable or COW house. To pro-
duce good milk, cows must be comfort
able, and these conditions not only add
to their comfort, but are absolutely
necessary to keep them in the best OF
health.
Healthy and clean cows, which ap-
pear we'll fed and contented.
An abundance of pure water to which
cows are given access at least twice a
day.
Feed of good quality. the grain and
coarse fodder should be free from dirt,
decay or musty condition.
A spirit of kindness towards the
stock, exhibited by every one employed
about them, and gentleness Of the ami
mails themselves.
Provision for washing and sterilizing
or scalding Of utensils which come in
contact with milk.
Provision for straining, aerating and
cooling the milk in clean atmosphere,
free from all stable and other odors.
This treatment should take place i'm
mediately after The milk is drawn from
each COW.
Facilities for storing milk and keep
ing 1t cold.
Especially great cleanliness in re-
gard to everything connected with the
dairy The atmosphere of the stable
should be pure and free from dust
when milking is being done. Employees
should carefully wipe the udders and
wash their hands before milking, and
should be in clean clothes. Whitewash
Is a good disinfectant, and should be
seen in many more stables. and land
plaster should be sprinkled about to
absorb moisture and odors.

Treatm ent OF Frosted Combs.

When a bird becomes frosted on the
comb frozen comb, the remedy is to
keep it in some place where the wind
cannot reach it, says Farm and Fire
side. Fanciers protect such tall-comb
breeds as Leghorns by placing choice
specimens in barrel at night, having
a block Of wood in barrel for roost.
The first thing to do is to swab the
injured comb with glycerine. The
next day the comb should be anointed
with an ointment composed of equal
parts of ichthyol and lanoline, which
should be repeated every day. Healing
is a slow process. and only relief from
pain can be afforded, as the comb may
slough off entirely. 1t is an advantage
to keep a fowl which has been frosted
and healed, as it will be less liable to
be injured the succeeding winter.

Eject. Of Getting Wet.

Mr.. w. p. Akin, Graham, Texas, was
unfortunate In having soSe ioul
months old chicks get wet, the result
being that they have been SICK ever
since. He states to the Poultry Keep
er the details in letter below:
IL have flock Of fourteen Black MI
norcas about four months old. we mao
a rain about one month ago and they
all got wet and stayed wet all night.
In a few days l noticed viscid hu-
cousy blubber on their nostrils. Iney
do not have any canker in their mouths
or throat, but the roof OF the mouth
seems infiamed. have been usihs
coal oil, turpentine and carbolic aciu'
with a medicine dropper, In the nose
and throat, but they do not improve
very fast. Can you recommend any
thing to put in the feed? Will they De
fit for breeders If they get well? Iney
look perfectly we'll and hearty II you
did not look close and see the trash
sticking on their beaks you would not
suspicion anything being the matter
with them. l have four ROSTERS IN
the flock and they seem worse than the
pullets. / used peroxide of hydrogen
on them yesterday. Do you think that
good for them?"
The journal mentioned comments as
follows: We do not know Of anything
more injurious to four months old
chicks than to become soaking and
remain so. If they ad'gotten wet dur
ing the day and had the warmth OF the
sun, it might have been different, but
to remain wet all night means that
they were chilled through. 1t Is sur
prise that they did not die In few
days. The treatment is correct but
laborious, and as the climate Of Texas
is mild they may recover. If they
make a complete recovery they can be
used for breeding. The best remedy
ls to add a teaspoonful of chlorate of
potash to each quart Of drinking wa
ter, and repeat the peroxide Of hydro
gen occasionally.

Chicken ROORtR.

great many of our farmers seem to
think that hen will do as we'll with
poor roost as good one, if I may
Judge from my own observation, says
writer in an exchange. The style of
roost that seems so scientific and eco
nomical to the general class of farmers
is that of the step or stair style-one
roost back and above the other. The
lower pole is very close to the floor.
while the upper one is, generally. as
near or nearer the roof or ceiling. It
saves space, of course, but you are al
ways surer to find the lower pole near
ly empty, while the upper one is
crowded full. Often the fowls crowd
one another off with fatal effects. Some
argue that fowl wish to roost high.
therefore the roosts should all be high
to satisfy their desires. 1t is true that
fowls wish to roost high, but it is an
inherited habit handed down from the
fowl in its natural state. They wish to
roost high to keep from danger. II
your house is kept we'll closed there is
no need of high and dangerous roosts.
/ place my roost poles on level and
about eighteen inches above the floor.
This Is in the part of the room where
the air is the purest. The impure air
rises to the selling and some gases
sall close to ire floor; this style of
roost avoids both, as we'll as prevents

Mind-Driren BICYCLES.

No less than three attempts to cause
the wind to aid the bicycle-rider in
driving his machine have recently been
made by inventors, one American and
two French. In the case of the Amer
lean and one of the French inventions,
the apparatus constructed on the plan
of a toy windmill is attached to the
machine, and geared to the front wheel
in such a manner that the force of the
wind can be utilized in turning the
wheel. The. third contrivance also
acts on the principle Of the windmill,
bat its motor, instead of having fans
all facing one way, is shaped like an
empty pumpkin-shell, with the seq
ments slightly separated and inclined
inward. The practical usefulness OF
these devices remains % be damon
strated.

edge SO as to fit the feet of the fowls.
l place them on trestles with suitable
notches In them. with the rounded
edge UP. Keep the roosts clean, ana
by placing oil or tar on the bottoms
OF them you will be without lice. A
good coat of whitewash is also good
to keep away the pests. The diseases
caused by high roosts are mainly pun
ble-foot and lameness, but other us
eases have their origin from them

Fat Too Much Corn.

Visiting a poultry farm lately, says
Maine Farmer, a number of hens were
seen squatting on the ground, unable
to walk. Naturally the owner asked:
What is the cause of the trouble?"
In seeking a solution, the question Of
feed was raised, and the man stated
frankly: Il feed on corn, because it is
SO handy to Use and so cheap in the
market" Here was the cause of all
his troubles. He was feeding n grain
not adapted to bone and muscle build
ing, and the little body could not stand
the strain. Rational feeding would
save from these annOyanceS.

ideas. The following twenty-tnree
points we find in a daily paper, EVIL
IDENTIFY culled from some other source
so we do not know to whom to give
credit. In the main they are good sug-
gestions:
SELECTION AND BREEDING.
1. Select the best COWS in your herd,
or that you can buy, to keep, ana ois-
pose of the others.
3. The best cow for the dairy is the
one that produces the greatest amount
of butter fat in a year (for food con-
sumed) when being rightly fed.
3. Test your cows by weighing the
milk of each COW for a year and test
ing 1t occasionally with the Babcock
milk tester, and know how much but
ter fat each one does produce.
4. To renew or increase your herd
raise the heifer calves from your best
cows.
5. Use the best dairy-bred sire you
can get; one, IL possible, that has a
long line Of ancestors and have been
first-class dairy animals.
8. In this way you can make each
generation better than the preceding
one, IL they have at all times proper
care and feed.
z. 1t is neither profitable nor neces-
sary for a COW to 60 dry more than
four to six weeks.
8. Especially should your young
COWS be watched and not allowed to
acquire the habit of drying up too
soon.
8. Darken the stable in which the
cows are MIXED through fly time. 1t
will not only economic the patience of
the mixer, but the cost Of milk pro-
duction as we'll.
10. Keep a record of the time when
COWS are bred. and have no guess
work about the time of calving.
IL. Provide roomy box stall, and
allow the cow to become accustomed
to it week prior to calving.
II. Rich foods should be withheld
for a>short time prior and subsequent
to calving.
IS. The udder should receive prompt
attention. An obstacle may be re-
moved from the teat the first hour
that might battle science later.
IA. A pail of scalded bran should be
given to the cow as soon as possible
after calving.
10. The calf should be permitted to
nurse its mother for two or three
days.
16. After separating the calf from
its mother, feed the natural milk as
soon as drawn, for a week or ten days.
II. Then begin gradually to substi
lutte skim milk with oil meal jelly
stirred into it.
IS. Scald the Calls feed pail daily.
10. Feed three times a day and not
more than three quarts at a time until
he calf is we'll started.
20. Warm the milk by placing the
vessel that contains the milk in hot
water.
II. Warm the milk in 80 degrees
Fahrenheit.
%. Don't trust your finger, but a
thermometer. 1t will save many a
calf's life.
%. The man whose ideal Of COW
IS high, coupled with good care, feed
and gentleness, is sure to receive the
highest profit in milk and pleasure
hat can be made in dairying.
We will add a couple of other
points:
"a. Always clean out the box stall
after a cow has calved therein, and
thoroughly disinfect it with a solution
made of one part of sulphuric acid to
nine of water. This is to prevent
septic poisoning of the next COW,
which may easily occur.
25. Do not milk the udder out clean
until the four day after calving.
This will often prevent chill which
often produces milk fever.

w. d. Hoard says that the progress
of dairy knowledge among the farmers
is so slow that sometimes it seems like
trying to fertilize a million acres of
land with the breadth Of a heller.

and management the calf raised by
hand will develop Just as rapidly as if
it had run with the COW. and It is very
certain that it will cost much less. Do

 London, June 24.-The Prince and Princess of Wales gave a dinner to-day to the poor. The local boards organ ized the poor in districts, and 33000O persons were fed. The prince and prin- cess personally visited three of the dis tricts and witnessed the feasting.
 The queen, accompanied by the Prin- cess Beatrice, left Windsor this morn ing and drove to Frogmore house, where her majesty breakfasted with the Empress Frederick. Later the queen and Princess Beatrice returned to Windsor. The queen experienced no fatigue from the journey.
 The queen received the foreign ad- mirals, with their staffs, at Windsor after luncheon this afternoon.
 The general dismantling of the jubi- lee stands began to-day, and the sound of carpenters hammers is to be heard all over London. The streets are still overcrowded with sightseers, notwith- standing yesterdays great exodus of jubilee holiday makers.
