Forests and Rainfall.

The Commissioner of Forestry In
Pennsylvania has this to say on the
subject Of forest removal effecting rain
fall:
The question as to whether or not the
removal of the forests at the headwaters
of the streams has anything to do with
a shortage of rainfall is much to the
point just now. The answer TO 1t is a
very direct one. If forests influence our
rainfall here It has never been conclu-
sively proved. The facts at our disposal
seem to indicate that forests do not in
crease rainfall to any great extent, II at
all. It Is true that certain European sta
tistics have recently been offered which
would tend to prove the contrary; but
they are based on too brief period of
observation, and come from too small an
area to base general law upon. should
be very glad, indeed, II they were con-
flrmed in the future, and 1t could be
shown that larger forests brought more
regular and copious rainfall.
On the other hand, If you ask whether
or not the absence Of forests has any
thing to do with the drying up Of our
springs and streams and the low stage OF
waters in the rivers, the answer must
unQuestionably be yes. This is true from
the general principle that water which
has already gone out of the country is no
longer there to maintain springs or
streams, It is clearly shown that snow

Teaching Practical Farming.

"Asdarkas Egypt"is a common express
sion, and benighted (meaning ignorant).
Egypt is familiar expression, and yet
here is one Of the most practical ideas for
teaching agriculture and 1t comes all the
way from darkest Egypt. In Egypt there
is an agricultural college which has a
four years course in practical and sci
entifc farming, and one Of the principal
features Of that school is that each OF
the pupils must take one-fourth of an
acre Of land and cultivate it in crops with
his own hands. He is absolutely pro-
hibited from employing any help or as
sistanCe whatever, but must do it all
himself. This Is a grand idea even If
1t does come from benighted Egypt, and
the agricultural colleges in this country
might well profit by adopting that val
liable suggestion. That system teaches
not only a practical knowledge of the
soil and the production Of crops but also
the usefulness and dignity of labor as
well. Most college students are entire
strangers to work and are imbued with
the idea that labor is mental and debas-
ing instead Of elevating and ennobling.
Practical instruction in the actual and
personal cultivation of the soil would
tend to dispel that erroneous idea.

Hens and Figures .

Figures do not lie, although they will
lie heavy on a fellows pocketbook when
they go wrong. Comparatively few
Americans become millionaires in fact.
It is, however, a glorious privilege af-
fOrded most OF us that we may be mil
liOnaires in theory. My grandfather
owned whale oil factory at Plymouth,
Mass. am told that seVenty-five years
ago he made some remarkable figures. He
said that In the year 1900 there would be
IS, 000, 900 people in this country; that
whale oil would be forth 81 a pound,
because 1t would be the chief lighting
fluid, and that every one Of his grand
children would be a millionaire. Now
we have the population that the old
gentleman prophesied but the whale
ships are rotting at the wharf in New
Bedford and l lack nearly $999,00O Of
being a millionaire. The figures were
right in their day, but the old gentleman
could not know that some day a pros
pector would bore hole in the ground
and start the world into blaze Of light
with petroleum. The world Is happier
and brighter because am not million
aire from the profits in whale oil.
am happier because l have the privilege
of figuring out a profit in the chicken
business What | want to say Is that
while figures may go wrong in some lines
Of business, 1t Is always safe to figure
on chickens There can be no ghost Of
substitute to rise up and call us down.
We may have lime in our flour, lard In
our butter, peanut shells in our coffee,
sawdust in our tea, Eastwood in our hams
and sand in our sugar, but the eggs can
not be successfully cOunterfeited Our
little fried, the hen, will still continue at
the old stand, putting her humblest grist
together and shelling out this most mi
raculous animal product, the egg.-Farm-

Mnk Tickets.

Milkmen who distribute milk to con-
sumers generally have some sort of a
system Of tickets, leaving a quantity,
like dollars worth, at time, and TAX
ing them up one at a time as the milk
is delivered. In this way old tickets are
used over and over again until they are
worn out or lost, and the tickets that
were used one month in hoVel or house
where disease germs were prevalent may
be left the next month in the kitchen Of
the mansion where the utmost neatness
prevails and every effort is made to keep
out all germs of disease The better way
is to have the milk tickets in small per-
fOrated sheets or slips, dollars worth
or half dollars worth in each sheet or
slip, from which the ticket can be easily
torn as the milk is delivered, and these
tickets should be burned after being once
used and never distributed again. The
cost of having them printed in this way
Is so small that for sanitary measures
alone this method should be adopted by
milkmen. The date when distributed to
customers could be easily put on each
sheet with rubber stamp, and with the
last ticket the heading bearing the ad-
dress of the milkman and date issued
could be taken up and preserved as
record Of the business done. BY the
use of such sheets the customers would
protected against loss Of tickets, for they
would be detached only by the milkman
at the time Of delivering the milk, and
the stubs or headings taken up and re-
turned to the Office could be used as
check on dishonest or careless drivers
who sometimes might possibly secure the
position of driving the milk wagon and
distributing the milk.

the color Of the comb and gives the eyes
shrunken appearance, which leads buy
ers to think the fowl has been sick; the
feathers and pin feathers should then be
removed Immediately very cleanly and
without breaking the skin; then plump

or quite boiling hot, and then immedi-
ately into cold water; hang in a cool
place until the animal heat is entirely
out Of the body To dry pick chickens
properly the work should be done while
the chickens are bleeding; do not wait
and let the bodies get cold. Dry picking
is much more easily done while the bod
les are warm. Be careful and do not
break and tear the skin.
Observe the same instructions for tur-
keys as given for preparing chickens, but
always dry pick. Dressed turkeys, when
dry-picked, always sell best and COM
mand better prices than scalded lots, as
the appearance is brighter and more at

heavy gobblers before January l, as after
the holidays the demand is for small fat

Cost OF RRgg.

Experiments in feeding and In COM
putting the value Of eggs, show that II no
estimate is made for labor, one dozen
eggs can be produced at a cost Of about
cents for food, or about half cent
per egg. II all of the food allowed to hens
were converted into eggs the profit Of a
dozen eggs would be large, even when
prices are very low, but much depends
on whether the hens convert the food
into eggs, flesh or support Of the bodies.
II Is a fact demonstrated, however, that
when a dozen eggs are marketed they
carry from the farm but little Of the nu-
tritiOus elements Of the soil in proper
tion to their value in market, and on that
account they are as profitable as any
thing that can be produced on the farm.

American Corn Abroad.

American corn is rapidly growing in
favor in foreign countries. Col. Stowe,
of Kansas City, who Is now consul gem
eral at Capetown, in southern Africa,
says that American corn is In great de-
mand there, that 1t is quoted at 1852 per
100 pounds at Capetown and $4.44 at
johannesburg. That corn meal at Cape
town is S4.15 per 1876 pounds and the
supply is not sufficient for the demand.
When the merits Of American corn are
fully understood abroad and its use be-
comes general In foreign countries we
may expect standard price Of so cents
bushel for 1t in this country. And
from present indications that time is not
very far distant for the people in foreign
lands are rapidly learning the value of
American corn as cheap and whole

should know just what his cattle are do

Work Horses.

The work horse should have plenty Of
good grooming. A good rubbing when
he is brought in from the field makes his
rest more healthful to him. His comfort
should be looked after as carefully as
the farmers own. AS general thing the
average farmer leaves the harness on
when putting the horse up for the noon
day meal. This practice is not con-
ducive to the comfort Of the equine beast
and should be discontinued. The little
time and trouble in taking off the har-
ness and putting on again after dinner
will be well spent, for the horse will be
able to do better work II he Is not COM
PEELED to eat his dinner with the heavy
harness hanging on his back, and keep
ing the shoulders and back warm and
omfortable.-Rural Home.
