POULTRY RAISING.

The Indiana Farmer offers prizes for
essays on poultry raising. The follow
ing took the first premium:
From my experience the Importance
of having good incubator cannot be
ee"ily over stimated. Especially if
you expSc5 to raise early chicks, any
of the E23G makes of incubators in the
hands OF an intelligent person can and
will hatch a larger per cent of eggs
than you can expl cj to hatch with
hens. In the fret place your hens will
crowd on a nest with sitting hen and
break the eggs, one at time, until at
the end of the hatch you are lucky if
you have ten eggs from sitting to
hatch. But it is not so with an incu
bator.
Second, you cannot get your hens to
sit always when you want them to.
Take this year, for instance; you hear
on every hand, "How many hens have
you sitting9" Take the average reply,
and it is, mot to exceed three or four. s"
MY hens won't sit," they say. Nov
with an incubator you overl ONE this
disadvantage. While at the present
time we have 275 chicks, some Of them
almost six weeks old, if we had de
pended upon the hen We would have
Just four chicks, and we have seC

pecially for it, aud find that it ls not
one fourth of the trouble it was when
we had it in the house. Take theincu

A POULTRY NOTE.

Many poultry keepers are not aware
of the fact that the food given the hen
can affect the flavor Of the egg, just as
surely and nearly as quickly as the
food OF the COW has an effect upon the
taste Of the milk. Those who have any
doubt OF this can test it by giving their
hens a feed of raw onions, and then
trying the eggs for few days efGer
ward, but there is also danger from
feeding bone and meat, if the meat has
become tainted by long keeping. The
eggs at first may only have flavor as
il a little stale, instead Of being new
laid, but the unpleasant taste will grow
stronger if the eggs are kept for few
days g, and they will become unfit to eat
much sooner than eggs from fowl
which are fed upon good, wholesome
food. We do not say this to discour
age the feeding Of meat and bone, for
we believe the hens should have it two
or three times a week, If not every
day, but it should be just as fresh and
sweet as if it were intended to be
cooked for the family breakfast Then
the eggs will be good enough to eat at
breakfast time.-American Cultivator

UNPRoFITABLE COWS.

A Canadian paper narrates an in
stance that has become very common
since the Babcock test has come into
use. A Canadian dairyman, who keeps
twenty four COVE, tested them and
found that eight were u0profit. b ..
He sold the COWS and let one of his
hired men go, aud at the end of the
year found that he had made as much
money out Of the sixteen retained as
be had previously been making from
twenty four. Now he has further
weeded the herd down to twelve, and
expects to make from them as much
clear money as he did formerly from
gwice that number. AS fast as be can
find the COWS he wants he will increase
the herd to the original number, but
no more COWS come onto his farm IN
less he knows what they can do. The
experience is one that might be repeat
ed On thousands OF dairy farms. A
very large proportion Of the COWS in
dairy herds do not pay for the food
Ehey eat and the care they require.
Tne owner would do better without
them. By institu5ing a careful test so
as to ascertain what each COW of the
herd is doing, one can easily deter
mine what COWS are worth keeping
and what are not Southern Planter.

UPON THE FARM NO. 2
--LOSS OF LIQUID EX-
CREMENT.

Perhaps it may safely be said that
the greatest waste upon the average
farm comes from the neglect, don't
know but I should say criminal neg
lect Of the liquid excrement from our
farm animals. On some farms this is
sheer neglect and wastetulness, but l
find others whose owners have made
some provision in this direction, but
for want of thoroughness, very little is
really saved. / have found no better
method of saving the liquids from the
COW stable than to provide a water,
tight gutter, and every day put in it
sufficient amount OF dry material of
some sort to absorb the excess OF
liquids. This can be done by the use
Of forest leaves, dried swamp muck,
road dust, chaf or other dry mate ial
Tae neatesG absorbent we have ever
tried to usa were spruce planer shaw
ings. They came in 100 pound bales,
shipped from Albany and cost Sc 20
per ton. One will be surprised how
far a good wagon load of dry leaves
will go for this purpose, and they are
good fertilizer in themselves. It will
pay better to hire help to gather leaves
than to buy commercial manures, al
though commercIal manures may be
prCf5ably used aJ times. In a former
article called attention to the waste
from the pig pens, Years ago learned
some valuable lessons from my father
on the manufacture Of hog manure.
His practice was to provide an open
yard a. j lining the pens and in this
yard he carted in leaves, weeds, gar
den refuse, swamp muck, etc, and
used to take out as many as thirty
wagon loads a year Of a fertilizer that
grew splendid crops Of corn.
Some years ago in re arranging cur
piggery, we used a building 81 feet
wide and "a feet long. The sills were
placed on a tight wall feet high and
rhe entire floor space camented, with
a slant of inches in the 27 feet. An
opening 8 feet wide was left in the wall
at the centre of the lower side, so all
liquids gravitate toward it. Through
this opening the liquids and solids de-
scend about four feet into a vat we call
our manure factory. This consists Of
a vat walled in about 10 feet high, wall
laid tight in cement and bottom
camented. A movable doorway about
10 feet wide is placed in the centre,
and in cleaning wagons are backed in
under the sill. The manure from the
horse stables goes in here every day
through a tight door, besides into it we
throw every kind of absorbing mate
rial, and we have taken out from one
to two hundred loads of manure in q
single season.
On many farms the horse manure is

SAVING MANURE.

One farmer and dairyman makes it
a practice to keep his cattle in the
stable at night the whole year through.
He says Is Is impossible to get an esti

GERMS IN THE HOG YARD.

1t is not possible to sit for an hour
and listen to practical swine growers,
such as those who recently attended
the swine breeders meeting, discuss
the ills to which their animals are sub

them from multiplying to any destruc-

are produced wholly by the presence
of germs: Hog cholera, swine plague,

mouth, and probably sore throat or
quinsy. There may be others, but
these are enough to discuss at once.
We think it doubtful if any germ dig

even it the surroundings be filthy.
Filthy surroundings give every oppcr-

what litter it is, and feed the SOW ac-
cordingly. Most of the ailments Of
pigs before weaving will have to be
reached by feed through the dam.
Watch your little pigs very closely. If
they look thin az d hungry see that
their dam is better fed and swiiled-
always increasing rations slowly or
you will invariably sour the little fell
lows. As it is next to impossible to
raise litter of pigs without some of
them getting the scours at one time or
another will give you our treatment
for their ailment. Watch the little
pigs closely; if any of them are too
loose, at the next feed dissolve tea
spoonful of copperas IN a little warm
water and feed it to the SOW IN her
swill. For two years I have success
fully checked every case and only four
times gave a second dose, which al
ways give On the following day if the
first was not effective. Have also seen
copperas tried on cases of from three to
ten days in duration, where it was not
effective, remember one itch in time
will save nine. When pigs get from
two to four weeks old, fence off @
corner in the house or in the yard,
where the old cow cannot get in, and
give the pigs all the shelled corn they
will eat. As soon as they are accus-
toned to coming for the corn begin by
feeding little fresh milk diluted one
half with warm water. One cupful
will be enough to begin with; then in
crease quantity as they learn to drink.
Be careful there is no milk left in the
trough from the previous feed, as it
tends to sour the trough and the new
milk. If you are careless in this way
you will do more harm than good. Re.
member the stomach of little pig is,
as sensitive and delicate as that Of g.

drinking, 80 they will come when you
call, and their stomachs thoroughly

that by removing the SOW you remove
the sweetest and cleanest portion of it's
