A man in the darkness of hopeless dis

doctors and medicines inuumerable have

Men and women who have sunken 50

to operate fifty machines as well as he
can one. II this gentleman has fifty
or seventy-five patrons the use Of hand
separators would thus necessitate fifty
or seventy-fve machines instead Of
one. The difference in the expense is
great.
Mr.. Lyons--The idea Of the hand sep
arator is that the farmer has n him

l. Q.-That doesn't change the matter.
He has to make the investment and
keep it in order. In your creamery you
operate one or two machines. In the
other case you have seventy-ive. No

Chicks Feathering.

y.
There is a great difference in the
breeds as to the time of the chicks
.feathering out. Some Of the non-set-
ting breeds feather out very quickly
and therefore need more attention in
the matter of food. This precocity is
not desirable, but we must admit that
it can not be helped. As the feather
takes not carbohydrates, but protelns,
for it's formation. it is, evident that we
should give more of this kind of feed
to the chicks at the time they are be-
ginning to feather. K -
The breeds that,do. not feather out
quickly are supposed to stand the proc
ess better, for it is the opinion among
poultrymen that, a fchick that feathers
slowly Is more certain to be raised
than the n that feathers out rapidly.
This is due to the fact that the process
is very weakening, and the chick falls
an easy prey to lice and germs of dis
ease. "a, ~
The Mares.-Probahly few farmers
can, we'll change their stock of mares
at once, but those that have any at all
fit for breeding should breed them to
sires of families in which the quality
of transmitting the strains that. make
them valuable is well established. The
mares that are raised from such breed
ing will be a big improvement, on their
dams, and should themselves be bred
to a sire Of the same class as that to
which the dam was bred. Isis better
to have only three or four good mares

farm. and breed them in this way. than
to have a score producing colts by a

CONDENSED from Farmers Review
Topographic Report of Illinois State
pairymen's Convention.)
l.. A. Spies spoke on feeding of dairy
cows in southern Illinois. In part he
said: The feeding of dairy cows in diff
ferent localities is Influenced most by
the kind Of feed that grows best. in
those localities. Southern Illinois has
long been noted for its, crops Of corn.
We have u cows come in fresh in
the fall of the year, as we then get our
dairy products when they will bring the
most money. We have long SINCE quit
buying other peoples mistakes, and
raise our W ows We traik them, to
be hearty eaters and develop a sound
constitution. I would not dairy with
out silage, as this makes 1t possible to
have succulent feed all the yea round,
the very thing necessary for a large
flow of milk. =
Mr.. w. X. Lyons also contributed an
interesting paper, which led to the fol-
lowing discussion:
OIL would like to ask if the bad
condition Of the roads for quite a por-
ton of the year isn't quite a drawback
to dairying in this section?
Mr.. Lyons-Occasionally it is, The
way it is right now it is considerable
of a drawback, but for several winters
past we have experienced very little
difficulty in that regard.
al would like to ask this question:
Mr.. Lyons, in his remarks, rather dep
recated the use Of the hand separator.
Wouldn't the use of hand separators in
furnishing cream to the creameries OBJ
viate some of the difficulty of bad
roads? You would not have to carry
so much stuff to the creamery.
Mr.. Lyons-In Southern Illinois the
farmers will come to town Anyway, and
the creameries are not far apart. 1
cannot see where the advantages come
in.
Q.-What is your objection to the
hand separator?
Mr., Lyons-The creamery would have
to drive around and collect the cream.
Q.-What is the objection from the
farmers standpoint?
Mr.. Lyons-One of the great, objec-
tiops would be the expense Of collect

hauling the milk is not to be compared
with the creamery's expense in going
after 1t. The creamery man has to pay
two or three dollars for a team and
driver, when many times the farmers
teams are idle and can do it much
cheaper than the creamery man. The
expense comes out of the farmer in the
end, and I claim the present plan would
be more successful.
Q.-How about in the summer?
Mr.. Lyons-ln our experience the
milk for many of the creameries in
Southern Illinois is brought in by the
young people. children, and old people
that are not very ~serviceable :on the
farm, and thus it is done with very lit
tie expense. Suppose half a dozen farm
ers club together in a locality. OF

An Attentive Audience.
Lecturers and other public entertain
ers appreciate greatly an attentive au-
dience, but is there such a thing as
being too attentive?. The story is told
that not long ago a well-known novel
list delivered a lecture in a New Jersey
town. After the lecture. when the "peo-
pie met, they talked about the affair,
as was their wont.
"Were you at the lecturer" n
would ask another, and, in every. case
the answer was:
"Oh, yes, l was there, but 1 couldn't
hear a word. Did you hear it?"
well no; l was there, but l couldn't
hear, either"
No one could be found who had
heard a word. About this time an &C.
quaintance of the novelist heard from
friends in the place this account Of
the matter. and meeting the lecturer.

he had had there, and how he liked

Scientific Poultry Raising.

Investigations have been Of Ian imper-

formed a great many. opinions on our

found that both opinions and obserYa-

Such has been the result IN other lines

finds herself SO active and strong she can
do work that would shame many a Younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago I had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on 1t, and they
blistered my side in an effort to give me
relief. I was at that time earning my
living as a tailoress, but for five years,
between the pain in my side and the
blisters I was in constant misery, and
work was a drag to me, with no prospect
