An Adamless Hen Eden.

Writing on "a Poultry Yard Without
a Grower" the poultry editor of the
Boston, Massachusetts, Ploughman says:
The poultry editor has been expert
menting with yard Of ten hens the
past year, keeping no male in the pen.
This is by no means the first time he
has tried the experiment, and the re-
suit confirmed the former conclusion
that under some conditions the plan is
the best. In the first place an extra
hen can be kept in place of the cock,
thus giving an extra egg every other
day, which Is very nearly the average
Weld of each of the ten hens. The
roosterless pen did not perhaps lay
better thaa the other pens, but it GER
tainly did fully as well. There was no
itch or other contagious disease, which
is often transferred throughout the pen
where the cock is kept There were no
broken eggs and no torn or lame backs.
The germless eggs keep better and are
better liked by certain fastidious Gus
toners. There was no growing from
this pen to disturb the sleepers by
night and early morning. The only
drawback was the somewhat peculiar
behavior of the celibate hens, but when
kept in a pen most Of the time there is
little annoyance. If poultry keepers in
general come to realize the uselessness
of the males for the most of the year,
there would take place a grand slaugh-
ter of surplus cocks. Hens will lay or
set fully as we'll if there are no growers
on the premises. At breeding season
one may be added two weeks before be-
ginning to save eggs for Matching.
What's the use in keeping from one to
dozen free poultry boarders on the
farm the year around, just because
most people do. At any rate it is
better to thin them out a little.

ChIcnrn,a Milk SunpiY.

N. H. Warren, a dairy farmer Of
Wasco, ILL.,, has written an open letter
to Commissioner Of Health Reynolds
in reply to the circular sent to pro-
ducers, handlers and shippers Of milk
for the Chicago market. This circular
dealt with the danger of contamination
Of the milk supply. Mr.. Warren says
the old dairymen, who are careful in
their handling of milk, are discouraged
because of the starvation price OF
milk"-a yearly average Of cents a
quart-paid by the dealers in Chicago.
Many, therefore, are selling their cows,
probably to give place to new dairy
men who are not competent or willing
to deliver as good an article in as good
condition as the old dairymen. He
thinks some measure should be taken
to give the men who own the cows a
living Price for their milk and remove
the temptation to employ cheap,
slovenly help in the diaries. Commits
sioner Reynolds commends the writer
for "his intelligent presentation of the
case" but says: "Of course, the de-
partment Of health cannot regulate the
price of milk"

Loss by Too Cold Milk.

The Maine Farmer says: "A repre-
sentative of Maine creamery has
been testing the skimmilk of its pa
irons, and taking the temperature of
the tank in which the deep cans were
placed for cooling and raising the
cream. Very much to his surprise, he
found that many of them kept their
milk too cold. He found the skimmilk
most free from butter fat when the
temperature was nearest to As degrees.
At SO degrees there was from one to
two-tenths Of one per cent. more Of
butter fat In the skimmilk than when
it was kept at 45 degrees, or near that
point" A difference of that amount,
or one or two pounds of butter in a
thousand pounds of milk seems q
small amount, and would be in one
cows milk, yet it is worth saving,
and would be very important item
in creamery where they were using
the milk Of several hundreds cows all
the season. But the important point
Is that this loss is obtained at some
extra expense. With water from a
cold we'll or spring it would require
very little ice to maintain temper
ature of 45 degrees, while to cool to
SO degrees would require heavy icing.
1t is poor economy to expend 81 worth
of ice to lose so cents worth of butter.

l found in Manchester, Liverpool ana
also in London, that Canadian eggs
were gaining better reputation IN the
trade. Those that arrived in cold stor-
age chambers were said to be pleasing
very well. The only complaint l heard
was that when the cases were opened
the eggs became very moist, and were
said to be sweating" or to be covered
with drops like dew. AS a matter Oh
fact, the cause of that was the open
ing of the cases containing the eggs
Immediately after they were taken
from the cold storage room. That ex-
posed the cold storage of the eggs to
the warm moist atmosphere, and the
moisture was condensed on their sur
face just in the same way that 1t Woulu
be condensed on the surface OF pltch-
err or glass containing ice water. Those
importers who left the cases closed for
two days in the chamber at the ordln-
airy temperature of the air, and then
opened them, found that the eggs had
been warmed up gradually, and had
fine appearance. In the matter OF i'm
proving that trade. 1 think two points
need particular care, otherwise l fear
there will be dissatisfaction and loss
in carrying on the business.
Q) Every handler Of eggs, from the
one who gathers them from the nests,
to the one who exports them in cases,
should leave out all those OF doubtful
quality and all the small ones: and
(2) There should be more frequent
and regular collection of eggs from the
farmers, the eggs being brought togeth-
er and kept in cold place, where there
will be no change or spelling.

Yield of Milk.

An instructive illustration of the
manner in which the milk and butter
yielding capacities of dairy cows may
be developed by careful selection, is
afforded by some details recently given
publicity to in connection with a prom
inent herd, says an exchange. About
q dozen years ago the milk Of all the
COWS comprised in this herd-over 60
in number-was carefully analysed.
Nine of the cows were found to be
yielding milk showing over 8 per cent
of butter fat, twenty-five were yielding
over 4 per cent, fourteen were yield
ing per cent, and twenty-three were
yielding under per cent. From this
date onward, calves were only kept off
the cows which yielded milk showing
over Az per cent of butter fat, and
the tribes of the others were gradually
weeded out. By the aid of regularly
kept milk record the product of every
cow is known. and none is kept for
any length of time which does not
yield over 600 gallons per annum. By
combining what is learned from the
analysis and the milking record, and
only keeping calves from cows whose
produce is up to standard, alike in
quality and quantity, the milking prop
critics of the cows have been so i'm
proved that at present over 60 pei
cent Of its members are yielding milk

Meat Prices In Germany.


The National Provisioner, in re-
cent article on American hams in Ger
many says:
"The meat famine continues to in
crease. In the eastern provinces pork
costs 80 pfennigs (20c) per pound and
good butchers meat" is practically
unobtainable. The scarcity prevails
not only in towns, but even in the re-
hottest country districts, where the
farmers cannot get harvesters at the
usual wages on account of the increas-
ed cost Of living. The central organ
of the butchery trade relates that in
Thuringia the farmers have no cattle
to sell, and that the butchers have to
buy their swine from the wholesale
dealers at 6S marks per hundred
pounds, living. When slaughtered the
pork has cost the butchers rs pfennigs
per pound. When the farmers are ask-
ed why they do not fatten more stock,
they say that with the present high
prices for barley meal it would not pay.
Thus the grand aim Of the Agrarian
League-dear meat and dear corn-is
realized, and satisfies nobody. The
agrarian organs publish pages daily to
show that the import restrictions have
nothing to do with the scarcity, but
their arguments do not carry convic-
ton. In town and country, in factory
and on the farm, everybody is clamor-
ing for a removal, or at least a suspen-
sion, of the import restrictions"

Shallow Setting of MIX.

The makers of butter sustain great
loss in shallow settings. Every per-
son that has had experience with the
shallow pans knows that no matter
how we'll the cream rises it is difficult
to skim it so closely that good deal OF
the cream will not remain sticking
around the sides of the pans and float
ing in the milk. When deep setting
is practiced the cream is so thick at the
top and so solid that it is removed
with much greater ease, and the
amount left around the edges is not
greater than in the first place from a
much smaller quantity Of milk. An
experiment to determine the loss from
$50 pounds of milk per day showed
about two pounds of butter fat left in
the milk, where the milk was set for
twelve hours. This two pounds Of but
ter fat would make more than two
pounds of butter. This daily loss dur
ing a years time would be good in
terest on the herd. The advantage of
having a small separator, when the
farmer is not in reach of large one,
is obvious.
Prices of Wool.-Although there are
large unconsumed stocks of wool in
this country, the prices of new clips
in the West have been advanced above
the quotations current in the Eastern
centers. The Western wool producers
are in close touch with agricultural
prosperity, and they have high hopes
of the future. They may be wrong,
but We believe they are right in re-
gard to the price of wool. In fact,
nearly every well-informed man thinks
that the price of wool will advance this
fall.-Maine Farmer.
