to improve, let him begin with pure
bred males if he does not wish to pur-
chase trio, but he should stick to
one breed. If he gets a male every
year, let it be of the breed he original
ly selected. In two or three years he
will have the focks uniform, and they
will be better and better every sea-
son, and at a cost that is almost in
significant. If his neighbors desire to
improve, let them cooperate with him
in purchasing pure breeds, and if they
refuse, then he should compel them
to pay him for his enterprise when
they call with setting of eggs from
mongrel hens to be exchanged for
something better. A dollar or two
invested in pure breeds will make a
difference in the quality of the stock
and the number of eggs laid of more
than ten times the cost of the birds
purchased-Farm and Fireside.

OUR HOG INDICATED.
United States Consul Mt Cologne, Ger
many, Files a Report Deal
ing with TrichinQe.

Consul Barnes, at Cologne, whose re-
cent report on the preparation of
American fruits for the German mar
ket attracted much attention, has fol-
lowed it with report upon trichinae.
which is splendid vindication of the
American hog from the vilifcation of
his German accusers. The report says:
Through the medium of a society
of German foreign meat inspectors,
whose object is the protection and pro-
motion of the German trade in meats
and fat products, I learn that for the
last Is years, beginning with the de-
cree of 1888 prohibiting the importa-
ton of American meat and ending with
the close of last year, there were Off
cially confirmed in the kingdom of
Prussia 1908 reported cases Of illness
from trichinae, 2O7 of which resulted
in death. OF these there could be
traced to the eating of European meat
examined in Germany and found to be
free from trichinae 1912 cases of ILL
ness and 1O2 deaths.
'Thus 41.35 per cent. Of all the cases
of Illness and 49.7 per cent. of all the
deaths were caused by the consump-
ton of European pork which was ex-
amined in Germany and found to be
free from trichinae. The remaining
cases could also be traced to importa-
lions of European meat, partly ex-
amined and partly not examined, and
found to contain trichinae and yet
handled by the trade.
''In not one of the above 3,OO3 cases
could it be proved that the illness was
caused by the use of American sailed,
picked or timed meat, nor by smoked
sausage Imported under imperial de-
cree of September 3, 1S9D. This state
ment holds good for all Germany. In
confirmation of this fact, the society
hereinbefore mentioned has issued
posters wherein reward of 1000
marks (S23s) is offered to the person
who can prove that trichinae has been
transferred to human beings by the
consumption of American sailed or
picked pork or smoked sausage i'm
ported under the imperial decree of
September 3, 1891, canceling the edict
forbidding the importation.
"When, in 1891, the edict against
sausage and pork products from Amer
lea was cancelled, no ms pection of sau-
sage or picked pork was required I'M
til July 1, 1898. Since then both prod
ucts are subject to inspection. This
will result in the absolute exclusion of
sausage and picked pork or homeless
hams from the German market.
''1n the case of homeless hams weigh
ing from two to three pounds each the
cost of inspecting amounts to Is pfen-
nigs per kilogram, or IS marks ($3.5D
per 100 kilograms Of 22O English
pounds. Add to this the duty of 20
marks and we have total cost of 35
marks, or 1888, on 22O pounds of meat.
which virtually means the prohibition
of such products"

Live Stock and Fertility.

Long and painstaking efforts IN any
one direction make men experts. Not
until farmers rightly appreciate the
value and necessity of the live stock
business in relation to the preserva-
ton of fertility will they become ex-
pert in this line or capable of getting
out of it all there is in it. 1t has well
been said that the policy which the
farmers of Illinois must adopt if they
ever expect to attain their former
prosperity is to provide home mar
ket for their own product. By home
market we mean market on the
farm. without any cost of transpor-
tation except that which the farme r
pays to himself for the use of his own
teams and wagons. Nothing except
live stock can provide this kind of a
market.-A. P. Grout, in Farmers Re.

BEDTIME.

Tho we may laugh at children who would
cry
When nurses come to bear them off to bed,
We are but children of larger growth,
And, bedtime coming near, we droop and
sigh,
Not wishing yet to end our little day,
We fain would stop awhile to work or play.
And then If we can stop our eyes grow sad,
And dropping ever, nearly seem to close.
Our toys with listless, tired hands are held
Till kindly Nature brings her own repose,
And, gathering all her weary children
home,
Says: "sleep. We wanderers gentle night
has come
And then we seep-so calmly-on her
breast,
While Night with kindly fingers shuts our
eyes,
And smoothes the lines of weary thought
away,
Those lines which sin, and care, and sorrow
made,
Till in dreamless sleep we lose the day,
And, turning gladly, lie in perfect rest.

The circums tamces were not favorable
for conversation.
You may be sure that Capt. Byron
left nothing undone for the comfort
of the people so fortunately brought
under his care; and in their part they
were loud in their praises of his kind
ness and bravery.
On the third day after the wreck an
other steamer was sighted and sig
nailed. 1t was decided to transfer the
passengers and crew of the wrecked
vessel to her and let her take them on
to New York.
In the meantime the captain had
learned from Agnes that her father ia
died in Europe nearly a year before.
''And So" said the captain, when
preparations were being made for the
transfer to the other vessel, 1--WE part
here again."
THAT is for you to say" she replied,
with downcast eyes.

on with me alone

Capt. Byron acted on the hint.
Among the passengers there was an
old clergyman-they had all learned
about the former relations of Agnes
and Tracy, and this good old man did
not need much coaNing to perform the
marriage ceremony for his gallant
rescuer.
And so Agnes Byron remained for

HOUSE FOR LAYING HENS.
1t Is So Convenient That Fowls Can
not Help but Do Quite Salts
factOrily in 1t.

In order to make hens produce eggs
when most desired, they must not only
have extra care, but be provided with
proper quarters. At the same time,
however, it is hardly advisable for all
poulterers to erect elaborate struc-
lures for this purpose, and especially
when we take into consideration the
desperate competition of the present
day and oftentime low prices of eggs.
Accordingly, we advance the idea that
ordinary persons who make practice
of keeping from 50 to 100 fowls should
indulge in poultry house something
like the one shown herewith in the il
lustration.
As can be seen, if situated by bank,
it affords a very suitable habitation for
laying hens. Indeed, in early spring

Farmers Are Great Renders,

AZURE. Prior to 1894 the total number
of farmers bulletins issued by the de-
partment of agriculture was $4,000.
In 1894 the number used was 27s,5OO;
1895, 100000; 1896, 100000 and in
1897, 2,3s7,OoO. The superintendent of
the division of publication says that
the demand for literature is steadily
increasing, and that this increase
seems likely to continue until every
one of the 100000 farmers of the
United States is provided with liter
ature sent out by the department
bearing upon agriculture.

there is less care taken to keep weeds

was always an ugly task to NOW grass

nobody thinks of using the scythe if
he has a machine. But it is mistake
not to NOW the weeds and bushes that
grow in fence corners, so as to pre-
