Their offer to give these handsome
plaques away to their customers will
remain open only a short time longer.
and those who have not already availed
themselves Of this opportunity should

thing as handsome in this line been
seen. The subjects represented by
these plaques are American wild ducks.
American ~pheasants, American quail
and English snipe. They are hand
some paintings and are especially de-
signed for hanging on dining o
walls, though their richness and beau

Mrs. E. r. Wood tells, in the Jersey
Bulletin, what she would do TO
make poor butter. The lady says:
made any poor butter, and for
nearly a score of years butter, from
my hands, has brought 25 cents, or
more, a pound the year round, which
is, l think, evidence CT it's merit. How
ever, were I to set out to make poor
butter, the first thing I should do would
be to let the milk Of set in pans) stand
and the next would be to allow the
cream to remain until it was a mass
of fermentation before churning. Then,

degrees, when inserted in the cream,

New Method of Preserving Meat

A new method of preserving freshly
killed meat has been discovered by a
Dane The method is simple, but will
probably be of more value in the trop-
les than in this part of the world.
The animal to be used is first shot in
the head, but in such a manner that
the brain is not injured. AS the ami
NAL drops senseless an assistant cuts
down over the heart, opens a ventricle,
and allows all the blood to flow out,
the theory of this being that the de-
composition of the blood is almost en-
tirely responsible for the quick putre-
faction of fresh meats. Immediately
thereafter a briny solution. made OF
salt and water injected by means OF
a powerful syringe through the other
ventricle into the veins of the body,
The whole process takes only a few
minutes, and the beef is ready to use
| and can be cut up at once.

Poultry Notes.

Hens that are following the course
Of nature and laying few eggs, can get
enough lime from their food; but when
hens are subject to artificial conditions
and are expected to lay three times as
many eggs as nature intended they
should, they must be supplied with
some lime to help make up the mate
rails they lack for the shell of the egg.
The rough statement is made that
a hen will consume a bushel of grain
ment, for grains differ greatly in their
bushel weight and their feeding value.
A bushel of oats will not certainly go
as far as a bushel of wheat.
Disguised poultry raisers are COM
mon. We saw n the other day who
had in the past been an enthusiast. He
has about sixty hens and is eating
them up as fast as possible. He says
that the trouble has been that his
business is such that he cannot look
after his poultry properly. Sometimes
he does not get home till ten o'clock
at night. and in such cases the hens
go without their suppers. So he is
going to give the whole thing up,
Sensible man! If poultry cannot be
kept in a right manner they should
not be kept at all.
An exchange says. Don't build 6
fancy poultry house." Why not, If il
can be afforded? Beauty pays, ever
in the chicken yard. Not that thu
hens will lay any more eggs, but thu
eye of the owner will be better pleased
and so will all of the neighbors ant
visitors. Nothing discourages CHECKER
keeping more than to see a dirty, tum
bled down hen house stuck where
is a. blemish on the entire place.

The number Of sheep in Maine in
1910 was 649, 264. This was probably
the high water mark Since that time
the number has gradually declined. till
in 1896 the number was 51,071. Last
year the number again showed a de-
cline to 225, 0G0. 1t would be interest
ing to have the true figures on the dogs
Of the state during this time. Doubt
less the prevalence of the cur nuisance
has had something to do with the get
ting rid of the sheep. While there was
a good profit in sheep, the farmers
could stand the loss by the dogs, but
when the profits got small, the de-
struction of a few thousand sheep by
dogs became a matter of great mo-
ment. 1t is much more difficult to
fence against dogs In Maine than in
some other states, owing to the nature
Of the fences, which are In many in
stances built entirely Of stones.
The farmers that have fields Of rape
for their sheep will 500 be in a posi-
ton to profit by their forehandedness.
The ewes especially should be pastured
on some such feed in the fall. that
shape for lambing. The lambs, too,
will appreciate the good treatment.
At the station at Guelph, Canada, 500
lambs were fattened Oh a 50-acre field
of this plant. The weakness of our
stock-feeding system has In the past
been the shortness of the summer and
fall pastures. This the cultivation of
that many of the readers OF the Farm
ers' Review will take up the culture
of 2 at least on a small scale. The
culture of the plant seems at present
to be limited to certain sections of the
country, notably around the agricul-
tural colleges and experiment stations.
The fact that these localities are con
stantly charging is a proof that rape
has come to stay as a forage plant.
There seems to be a tendency III
some quarters to look for a great rise
in the prices of wool, and, as a con-
sequence, reports come from different
sections of the country of farmers
holding their wool for better prices
We do not wish to give advice in this
matter, yet it is a fact that all fig
ures that would indicate a rise II

Proper Housing Of Chickens.-The
loss of young chicks is very great on
most farms, amounting to one-half or
more of all that are Matched, and nine
tenths of this loss is clearly prevent
able. The causes of loss are many, as,
for example, gapes, drowning, or chill
ing in wet dews and rain, the depre-
dations of rats, hawks, skunks and
other providers, and then the giving of
improper food or failing to furnish
grit and to keep the coops clean. Near
ly all these losses are preventable by
furnishing a suitable place to keep the
| chicks for the first five or six weeks,
and then, if they must be moved, have
a safe house to put them in. | have

Drying Wheat for Seed.

After every damp harvest as the
present has been in most localities, the
grain goes into the barn with its straw
not SO thoroughly dried out as it
should be, says American Cultivator.
There is also considerable dampness III
the grain itself, and this will prob
ably cause heating of the grain in the
NOW. With spring grain this does not
matter much, for the grain. will be
pretty sure to dry out when freezing
cold weather comes. But whenever
winter grain is grown the seed for next
harvest has to be selected from the
present years crop, and this often
means the premature threshing of the
winter grain and using 1t while still
damp as seed. To this fact Is PROB
ably to be attributed the common be-
lief among farmers that old wheat and
rye are better for seed than new. In
the old grain the freezing of winter
and the subsequent thawing have made
the seed nearly wholly free of mois-
ture. Yet all these experiences are not
absolutely necessary. If the grain is
thoroughly dried in the fall that it is
grown, it is not only as fit but more
fit for seed than it is after being dried
out by winter freezing, wherein its
terminating powers are more apt to be
injured than they are by being thor
oughly dried out the previous fall. We
have heretofore advised the creates,

SKATER WRITES
 0F GEN, GARCIA Could Not Depend Upon Him to Do Any Effective
 Work.

Washingt ton, July S0-The war department
 Santiago De Cuba, July 20. Hon. R. A. Alger, Secretary of War, Wash
 ington-
 Have the New York Sun of Saturday, July 23 in which comments are made to my treatment of General Garcia. I desire to say that General Garcia was invited by me personally to go into the city of Santiago at the time that I entered it, but he de- clined upon the ground that the Spanish civil officers were left in power; it was fully explained to him that these officials were continued In power until 1t was convenient to change them for others.
 General Garcias assistance to me has been purely voluntary on his part, and he was told at the beginning that I did not exercise any control over him except as he chose to give. The trouble with General Garcia was that he expected to be put in command at this place; in other words, that we should turn the city over to him.
 I explained to him fully that we were in war with Spain, and the independence of Cuba could not be considered by me.
 Another grievance: Finding that several thousand men had marched in to reinforce the Spanish without opposition from Gen. Garcia I extended my own lines in front of him and closed up the gap, as I saw that I had to depend on my own men for any effective investment of the place. SKATER.
