Ono Kind of Counterfeiting.

The Minnesota law which requires
oleomargarine, butterine, etc, to be
colored bright pink, in order that
people who wish to use 1t may know
it at sight, and not have butter palmed
off on them as substitute, has again
been decided constitutional, this time
by Judge Lochren Of the United States
District Court, says Texas Stock and
Farm Journal II this decision holds
it may lead to further legislation thor
ough enough to gradually force out OF
the market all limitations Of food prod
o. those who know just what they are
buying. Every farmer and dairyman
in Texas is interested in having such
a law as the Minnesota enactment
adopted and vigorously enforced in our
own state. A good deal has been said
to the discredit of Texas because SO
much food stuff that ought to be pro-
duced here is brought in from other
states. and butter, so-called, is one OF
the articles largely brought from else
"hSAS, Shou6A q ioi 50 PAoPoA|Aoh ~
the Northern butter" is one or other
OF the limitations, SO cheaply made as
to be an injury to those who manufac-
ture the pure article. The Journal has
not a word to say condemnatory Of
any legitimate competition with any
industry of our people. AS against
such competition we can either hold
our own, or we can surrender the po-
sition and occupy another. But these
mixtures in imitation Of butter and
lard and pure syrup and a score Of 9TH
er food articles are frauds, pure and
simple. and the government does not
fulfill its duty to the citizen when it
gives license to such frauds to meet the
honest products of our industry, so dis
guised that only experts can tell the
true from the false by the appearance
of each. The man who adulterates
food or manufactures limitations of
pure food and fraudulently palms them
OF for commercial gain Is on the same
plane as the man who raises the fig
ures on a note or counterfeits coin,
and the community ought to have the
same protection against him.

Department of the Farm-A Few
Hints as to tho Care of Live Stock
and Poultry.
Quality, Not Quantity.

A mistake in mating means great
deal. 1t is like a farmer planting poor
seed corn and in the fall being re-
warded for his seasons work by nub-
bings, writes T. F. Rigg in American
Poultry Journal. The most common
mistake in mating pens is putting in
too many females. This is especially
true of the beginner who has but one
pen. He has raised Is to 20 pullets
from two or three sittings Of eggs pur-
chased of reliable breeder. The birds
are an even lot in appearance, and he
takes 1t for granted all will make good
breeders. Here is where he makes
great mistake. He should critically
examine each female, after selecting
the male bird. He should take only
the very best of these, and II he finds
but three or four which fulfill the re-
quirements, these and these alone
should be used in the breeding pens.
BY so doing he will raise stock supe-
rior to that he would secure by sim
ply putting in the pen as many fe-
males as the male can care for regard
less OF fitness. In the fall he will
have a uniform and valuable lot Of
chicks, with but few culls. He can
give these chicks better care during
the summer than he could give three
or -FOUR times the number / like to

birds must be pullets or cockerels be-
FORE they are matrons and sires we

or three year old cock. In such male

defects in bird come out at the time
OF the first moulting and surely at the
second moulting. Two-year-old hens
mated to a cockerel is q most satisfac-
tory and successful mating. We all
learn by experience that chicks from
hens are more vigorous than chicks
from pullets. Remember that in

Do not put fowl into your breeding
pen that is seriously defective in any
point. Do not make a mistake in
supposing that an extra fine male will
overcome serious defects in his mates.
1t takes strong point in either parent
to overcome even a weak one in the
other parent. The male bird may be
half the pen, but he is not, and can
not be more. As stated. keep the fe-
males down in number, looking TO
quality only. Select the very best male
bird you have and choose the females
as nearly like him as possible. instead
of balancing defects and merit and
putting in any large number of fe-
males. This thing of balancing de-
fects and merit and EXPECTING a pen
containing large number ofefemales
OF only ordinary quality to give us a
lot Of extra fine stock is delusion and
fraud.

A Poultry Talk.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review stem
ographic Report Of Illinois Roundup In
stitution, hsd at Champaign. Feb. 21-2a.)
The poultry interests Of Illinois were
set forth by Hon. H. s. Grifith. who
said in part:
Uniformity Of size and color OF
meat is highly preferred in shipments
for market. Let your flock Of poultry
be uniform for the same reasons that
you seek uniformity in your herd of
cattle or swine. Do not condemn a va
riety because some INSCRIPTIONS fell
low succeeded in getting of on you
some unrepresentative specimens at
high prices. Buy your breeding stock
Of fancier. q real live. wide-awake
chicken crank. do not mean that sort
of q fancier who fancies fowls because
they bring fancy prices, but real low
or Of fowls, q man who observes the
good qualities of certain strain. and
goes to work to develop that strain.
After . breed has been chosen. the
stock secured and the farmer has fully
decided to go into poultry raising, a
few observations will not be out of
place. First, as to shelter and ground.
From my observations at the different
farms upon which have seen poultry
I believe this is the essential thing in
starting; fowls must have shelter from
rain and storm. They cannot stand the
winter. The shelter should be made so
tight that they are free from drafts.
They are tender in the matter of con-
tracing colds. In regard to sanitary
conditions, I think the cause of more
failures than anything else, and all the
diseases we have among our fowls may
be traced back to lack of good sani-
tary conditions. Filth breeds vermin,
and vermin is the source of nine
tenths Of the disease that carries off
our poultry. The keeping clean of
poultry houses is very important
thing. Many times the young chicks
are kept in the same coops until they
are weaned and put into the trees. They
will acquire vermin and come out
weak.
I'm the matter of feeding on the farm
many times the poultry are allowed to
forage. and they find plenty Of food.
but 1t does not come in the proper way
nor is 1t of the proper kind. They
should be fed what suits them at that
age. / think young chicks on a farm
are usually starved. They have plenty
OF food in a general way. but of food
suiting them they do not get enough,
and they come up starved until they
get whole corn. and then they get more
than they need. In conclusion. I want
to say that II the Illinois farm is to
be preserved in all its fertility, more
fowls should be raised, and the pro-
ducts should be more varied. More
land should be devoted to vegetables.
and the delicious berries and larger
fruits; more honey should be produced
and more fowls. as well as the heavier
products. for which our state is known.

M. V. McInnes. ESQ.,, Colonization
Agent, Detroit, Mich. Dear Strive
have just returned from the West, and
were exceedingly we'll pleased with the
country. We are going back to take
up our homesteads in early spring. We
received $35 per month and board
working for farmers, and the board
was the best we ever had-the beef and
mutton especially were excellent. The
fine flavor is owing to the fine grasses
which the cattle and sheep feed upon.
The people are very hospitable, and
: treat their hired help with much kind
ness.
The grain is much heavier than
here; wheat being 81 lbs. to the bushel:
oats As lbs, and barley often IS lbs.
Any man with good team and
money enough to buy provisions and
seed for six months can become rich
there in five years. Many people who
arrived there five years ago with
little, or nothing, are we'll off now.
One man l met held his wheat from
last year and was offered $4,000 for
this years crop and what he had held
over from last year, and is holding at
81 per bushel. We are going back in
the spring to work for this same farm
err until seeding, after which we will
homestead between seeding and har-
vest. We think we will settle on the
Manitoba G. Northwestern r. r.
You can refer any one to us for this
part of the country, while we are here,
and we will cheerfully answer any
questions which anyone may wish to
ask. Yours truly,

Value of Tuberculin.

Arguments which have been used
against the tuberculin test are men
toned and refuted, and 1t Is shown
that where there is possibility Of
danger there is danger, says a contem-
porary. An apparently sound udder
does not guarantee non-tuberculous
milk. The preponderance of tubercu-
losis with poor ventilation, but good
stables and ventilation do not neces-
sarily prevent infection. The tuber-
culin test is both accurate and practi-
cal. and 1t is not injurious to the health
Of a sound animal. With those that
are tuberculosis it may have cura-
tive effect when the infection has
been recent or is of limited extent, and
1t may aid tendency to recover in
other cases. The author is of the opin-
ion that the tuberculin test should be
made a condition of the granting of
licenses to sell, and should be made
twice year. Only tested bulls should
be used, and calves from tubercu.- s
mothers should be reared upon milk
from Neutrality-suspicious. cows or upon
sterilized milk. Relative to the sub
ject Of tuberculous attendants for cat
tie the author thinks that the danger
from this source has been over-esti-
mated.
