THE DAIRY

It is noticeable that in every com
munity, says The Practical Dairymen,
in which the dairy is well developed,
there is a high degree Of proper iEy
and refinement. The influence of the
business is uplifting. 1t requires / n
telligence and a wide study 10 make
the business a success, and all this is
on the line of refinement. It demands
gentleness of disposition. No rough,
brutal man can achieve success in the
dairy. He must be kind, and if not
naturally so he must cultivate the
spirit of kindness. The COW must be
loved must be petted must be fed well
and fed properly, and all this leads 10
the broadening Of the mind and the
improvement Of our natures.
Then there must be cleanliness, not
only about the premises, but about the
person. An Indiana dairyman who has
q covered barnyard, was asked at an
institute if he was satisfied with that
way of keeping manure. Why"
said he, 81 do not have q covered barn
yard for the purpose Of keeping ma
nure. All the manure is hauled out as
soon as made, in order to keep the
yard clean. 1 constructed a cover over
the yard for the comfort of my COWS"
There was a whole volume of dairy
in those few words. The
watchfulness to preserve cleanliness
to the COWS are the corner stones to
successful dairy ing. Nobody can ex
pect to go into dairying with careless,
sIoVenly methods, and make anything
1t is diff cult, at best, to keep milk N
tirely pure, for it absorbs the slightest
odor that touches it; and to keep it as
pure as possible, it should be removed
from the staoles or yard the very in.
slant that it is drawn.
We can, however, prevent particles
of dirt from getting into the milk. We
can do this by cleanliness of person
and by having the COW clean. Some
seem to think that the strainer will re.
move the effect of dirt in the milk. 1t
may remove the dirt, but it cannot re-
move the faint which the dirt leaves.
Tue business ia a clean one, or it is q
entt rprise. It is elevating, or
it is not well managed.

Mr.. W. NJ Dulip, of SEaCepvilIe, N
@ Wri5ing in the Practical Farmer,
says:
1--WE use a separator run by hand
We handle the mix from IA COVE, and
could handle il from 80 Or 40, az it
would only take a little more tima
The advantages Of using a separator
over any other system Of setting milk
in either deep or shallow pans is that
there ia little room for comparison.
The great saving OF labor, the increased
amount Of butter made, its sup, rior
quality and favor, and having Ire
skimmilk sweet and warm to feed to
calves and pigs Our machine prac
tically takes all the cream out, lea viz 2
barely a trace Of it when running AL
right. Another advantage is that it
takes impurities out of the milk and
cream that not be taken out in n
other way that l know Of. This is the
greatest advantage Of all, from a SAM
tary point of view. The repairs on
u machine have amounted to about
$40 per annum, which is pretty heavy.
But l do not think it will be- sc much
In the future, as a great part was due
to careless running. We have never

used any other make. We take cu"2
down every morning, wash and scaid
the various parts that come in contact
with the milk, and let them lie in the
air and sunshine during the day. l
would not think of running a butter
dairy without a separator ever from 5
COWS, as the saving Of butter will pay
the cost of the machine. I consider
that ours paid for itself the fret year
in labor and butter saved over the cid

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is oniV one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
Gonal remedies, Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube getsinhamed
you have a rumblng sound or imperfect hear
ing, and When 1t IS entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can he
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for anv
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh1 that cany,
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

that it is not only more prof able as a
business venture, but a very active
agent OF a higher order of civilization.
This e better living with all that
the word implies, and this is desired

This subject is already commanding
a great deal Of attention in the South,

RUNNING

Several years ago incubator manu-
facturers claimed that a child could
run their machines, but to day only
few make suca assertions. Incuba
tors are steady old horses, but they
haven't any brains. The more brains
we put into the running of a machine
the better it will be. They do not usu
all require much attention, but they
do require that little just at the right
time and regulsrly-morning, noon
and night. The first thing in the morn,
ing and the last thing at night.
Every machine is more or less SUE
ceptible to variations Of temberature,
therefore the first consideration is
where to place them. A dry cellar is
a good place. There the temperature
usually varies very little during day
or night. Then, again, the room must
be dry and well ventilated, and yet
the machine must not set where there
ia q draught, or where the sun will shine
on it. The first consideration in RUIZ
ming an incubator is to get up the heat.
The lamps should be started three days
"a week if you are a new hand at i)
before the eggs are put in. Heat it up
to 1O3 f, and then If the regulator is
working steadily the eggs can be putt in.
Do not change the regulator, but let
the heat gradually work up, which
will take "a hours or longer. As a
usual thing, it is best not to use any
moisture until the 18Th day, when a lit
tie is added. The warmer the weather
the less moisture should be used. The
eggs should be carefully tested
on the sixth day and the bulb of the
thermometer should rest on or between
two fertile eggs with the scale raised
about As +, so it can be seen through
the glass doors. The temperature can
vary between 1OO +. and 1O4 T., but
the more even the temperature the
the hatch. Properly gentilat.
ing the machine is very important.
The contents must be dried down to
two thirds of their original size, and
pet not warm enough to dry them up
This evaporation should be very grad

srates this point up to the 18Th day.
Just before the chicks cracks the shell

Chick will fad his house too small.
There will not be room enough fer him

moisture prevents evaporation. More
will be needed during warm
weather than cold. After the chicks

IN THs SOUTH

No Section of Cur Great County is Bet
ter Adapted to this Industry-No Bust
ness, Inte!lis emily Followed, is Produc
tive of More Genuine Returns.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
All of that great region Of country
lying south Of the Potomac and east OF
the Mississippi rivers is most admir-
ably adapted to stock raising. This
section comprises the great States OF
Virginia. North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama Mississippi, Florida,
Tennessee and Kentucky. This is a
domain imperial in extent, ~iuGxhaust-
ibIe in material riches, and as fertile in
soil as it is general in climate. Under
proper conditions this section ought TO
be what nature intended it should be,
the richest and most prosperous section
of the United States, and If the move
ment now in progress IS carefully fol
lowed to it's logical conclusion, the
statement made above will cease to be
a "glittering generality" and become a
tangible aud practical reality. Gen
orally speaking the Southern farmer
has heretofore devoted himself largely
to the raising of cotton and tobacco,
and while these staple products gen
orally frd a ready market, they do
not, unfortunately for the farmer and
planter, command such prices as are
remunerative to the producer. Both
of the Sc crops are more or less Cxhaus-
tive of the soil, and this is more par
ticularly true when there is n rotation
Of crops. This has been proven over
and over again by the wheat farmers
Of the West who have found wheat
growing a pro1tless industry and have
been compelled to change their system
of farming, and it will be found true
In every section. The South has tens
Of millions Of acres Of land especially
adapted to stock raising. The land is
we'll supplied with wRter-an indis-
pensable adjunct to stock raising; the
soil is productive and all kinds Of nu
tritious grasses grow luxuriantly, while
kl4G ELOGgg VI IA L4AAI SNS6ASAS SAO ~
sence Of anything like, winter, makes
an ideal climate and conditions for the
we'll being of all kinds Of stock every
month in the year. Besides, stock
raising does not impoverish the land,
but on the contrary enriches the soil,
and puts it in such a condition that
better crops a be grown, whenever
it may seem desirable to crop the soil
formerly used as a stock range.
1t does not require very much cap
ital to engage in stock raising in a
small way. IL every farmer would
begin by adding g COW, q sheep and a
hog each year to his stock. he would
find in a very few years a marvellous
growth of his available assets, which
had been acquired with a little labor
and at a small outlay to himself. To
put this proposition in figures it looks

Blew Out the Gas.

Last night the Cosmopolitan ho-
tel had as guests a couple of quite
small girls, who had to stop over
here, to catch a train out today.
The porter showed them to their
rooms. They retired aud instead
OF turning off the gas blew it out
not knowing it was loaded. Pretty
soon, the very air around and about
the hotel began to smell gasy, and
g search was made to find the leak.
Several gentlemen at the hotel
joined in the search for the leak,
and the room of the little girls
was soon located as being the
place where the gas came from.
Several knocks on the door added
by vigorous kicks and calls for the
inmates to open the door, received
no response, and as the door was
locked from the inside, the duplicate
key could not be used on account
of the key being left in the lock, all
attempts in getting the door open
ed in this direction were abandoned
and as it would not yield to kicks,
an ak was sent for to be used in
chOpping hole through it. Be
fore the ak arrived a small boy was
noticed in the crowd and he was
lifted to the transOn above the
door and knocked it out aud crawl
ed through, dropping to the floor
below and opened the door. The
gas had accumulated in the room
to a considerable extent, but the
children, when taken from the bed,
showed no i'll effects and it was
thought they had covered up their
heads which caused them no incon-
Venience from the poisonous fumes.
They said they heard the knocks on
the door but were scared to death
almost and did not dare to move or
make a sound. The porter said he
asked them if they knew how to put
out the gas, before he left them,
and they told him they did, This
world contains many travelling jays
who are much older than children,
who need instruction as to how to
turn out the gas, and hotel porters
should learn to size up people, and
explain to them the dangers of
blowing out gas.
