Goat Meat for Mutton.

The Biblical contrast between the
sheep and the goats came up oddly ut
Buffalo, N. Y, when Market Clerk
Roesch announced he had discovered
that Western farmers are shipping
goats flesh here and selling it for
mutton. The remedy for the practice
has been summary, for the clerk no
sooner made the discovery than he
poured kerosene oil all over the areas
and set it afre.
This meat has been coming in for
some time, and was becoming popular
With the butchers, a. it was sold to
them at a cut price, and could be
worked off as mutton. So for it has
not been discovered where the meat
comes from, but it appears that a con-
siderable quantity of it has been gath.
cred in some part of the West and
shipped here. Probably when other
receiving centres look into the matter
it will be found there, too. 1t is hard
for the uninitiated to tell goats meat
from mutton, and it is wholesome
enough if properly handled, but it is
far from being mutton, for all that

His DenuitiOn.

The best definition OF good house,
keeping that / yer heard was that
given by a little slip OF q boy, who,
after listening a long time to a very
learned discussion from some of his
mothers club associates on the best
way to order a home, was asked:
sWell my little man, what kind of q
home do you think is best?"
A beautiful light came to the child'e
eyes. He tossed back his yellow hair
aud shook his head: 81 don't know
much about it. Just the only kind
that I like is the home that it's nice to
go to-" And when all the philosophy,
theory. science and wisdom of the sub.
ject had been exhausted, the women
there assembled had to agree that the
very best home, after all, was the
home that-it was nice to go to-

MILKING.

If money is to be made from cows
it is essential that they be MIXED at
regular hours morning and evening,
says the Patrons Bulletin, and the
nearer the time is divided equally the
better it is.
1t is also advisable to milk them in
the same order every time; it prevents
them from fretting. Personally, /
have found no satisfactory result un-
less l managed to make friends with
the COW, or, If you please, induced her
to look upon me as an %''adopted calf!'
While pure food and water is essen.
tial to the production of perfect milk,
it has been proven that many of the
taints which we thought were intro,
duced in the milk while it is elabor-
ated in the COW, are due to direct con-
tamination from the dust Of dried
urine and excrements as we'll as Of the
fodder itself in the stable. When the
COW converts the food into blood and
then into milk, most if not all of the
impurities are separated in that Won
derful flter-the kidneys-and the
germs are found not in the milk but
in the urine and excrements. A
healthy COW fed clean and healthy
fodder and water will always produce
perfect milk. We have been fooled,
as, for instance, by the fact that milk
from COWS fed on turnips had a turnip
flavor, but careful experiments have
shown that this favor was produced
by q bacterium found on the turnips
and in the excrements and introduced
in the milk directly by dust falling
into it while milking in a stable where
the turnips were fed while milking or
shortly after, or where the excrements
had a chance to dry and float as dust
in the air.
These facts mako it clear that we
should not feed the COWS while milk
ing, and should not clean the stable
just before milking, IS the dust then
raised may drop in the milk. Nor
should we keep q stock of such fodder
in the stable.
OF course there are certain weeds.
such as leeks, rag-weed, ETC., which
will faint the milk as produced in the
COW, and too much of certain foods
will affect the milk in various ways.
Thus more than two pounds of linseed
meal per COW will 'eaake the, butter
soft, and so will rape-sxed anTpeanut

pounds Of cotton-seed Mai will make

RAISING EARLY POULTRY.

There is every encouragement to the
one who wishes to keep Eoultry for
eggs and market, writes SIN. VOL
colt, in the American Agriculturist.
The road of the amateur fancy chicken
dealer is sure to be q rough one for
many years at least, for there are SO
many well-known dealers, and adver-
Using and booming are overaone and
disappointing. A dealer in one little
town shipped during the month of
February 5000 dozen eggs. An average
of $3.50 worth of poultry was shipped
weekly last winter, and there were
other dealers in the same town and at
nearly every other town in the county.
No one. to my knowledge, makes a
speciality of poultry. It was the surplus
from the farms. A farmer near Airing
ton Junction had O fine flock of
Brahmas, which are heavy weights to
sell at maturity but do not feather
early enough for broilers or early
pullets. Neither did they lay as we'll
as he wished. He bought last year
some pure White Leghorn cockerels
and has an all-purpose chicken hard
to beat. In three weeks in December
he sold ffty-ive dozen eggs from
ninety hens and pullets at the time Of
year when eggs are scarce and high.
They still keep up the record. This
year he bought pure Brahmas cockerels
again, for the chickens soon get too
small for marketpurposes. The Cochin
and Brown Leghorn makes a fine
cross, or Plymouth Rock and White
Leghorn, and they feather early for
broilers. Early broilers are the most
profitable, and they should weigh l or
II lbs. by the first of May at leaA
The next best thing to an 1Ncu-
bator for Matching early ch1ea>
is a dozen Cochin hens, and
this is about all the good I could ever
get out of them. Langshans are pref
ty fair early sitters. One must have
a dry, comfortable place for them or

OLA henhouse sssixteen feet long,
half the souNa. side hinged at the
southwest corner to swing back and
be q windbreak for the house. Tack
screen across the doorway to keep the
chicks inside, and you have shelter,
sun and fresh air. A shed attached to
the east end of the henhouse, covered
and sided north and east with straw
or c~ornstalks and lathed on the south,
is a cheap and comfortable place.
Put the coops along the north side and
the chicks Gun scratch and grow during
the cloudy wet days OF spring without
danger of chill or drowning. A board
q foot broad at the ground keeps the
wind off Of them and keeps them I'M

the 23d of February and they are
thriving finely under this shelter and
are no trouble only to feed and water.
Don't begin to raise poultry without
some such place. The wear and tear
OF constant watching. exposure to
rains, trying to corral the broods, the
loss by dampness and chill and drown
ing, all go to make early poultry rails
ing unpleasant and Improbable
while these cheap conveniences fave
all this, besides the number OF chicks
saved for early market.
