About the Poultry Yard.

That all bacteria are not harmful, but
that some. in fact, are even necessary
to life, is shown by some tests which
were recently MAZE with chickens
Matched under conditions which rem
dered them free from intestinal bac-
terra. After Matching they were sup
piled with steriiiZed food and water
and the conditions were such that the
intestines were kept free from bacteria.
After few days the chickens did not
thrive and at the end of seventeen days
they were very weak Microscopic ex-
animation showed that they were free
from bacteria. Other chickens raised
under the same general conditions, but
with no precautions taken to prevent
their acquiring intestinal bacteria,
grew normally, showing the necessity
of these minute animals.
1t is not advisable TO leave fresh
lime where the poultry can get 1t or
even lime that is Stacked but yet re-
mains caustic in its character. Old
plaster is safe, but it is hard to tell at

dangerous. We have seen some that
was in reach of poultry that was so
strong one could not bare it in the
mouth. 1t is possible that the poultry
would refuse to eat such, but the good
sense OF fowls cannot be depended on.
1t is generally easy to obtain enough
old plaster, and IL not 1t is easy to mix
lime and gravel and allow it to form
plaster. The progressive poultryman,
however, can afford to pay something
for oystershell grit, which is already
prepared. A man can prepare it but
the trouble is most men cannot "get
around it."
Poultry rnisers need not worry about
overproduction Of poultry products. 1t
will never come in this nation, and we
have no reason to believe that it has
ever come In any nation. Poultry and
poultry products are a great boon to
the people in this age OF adulteration Of
food products. The packers are even
rubbing our beef. mutton and pork
with preservatives, boraic acid and the
like. Even our fish are under sus-
picion, and 1t is asserted that all oys-
ters eaten away from the sea-board
have been saturated with the chemical
preservatives. Verify our stomachs are
put TO a severe test, whether with
meats or canned goods. But the egg
and the live fowl cannot be tempered
with. The best preservative is life, and
30 we can always know that our poul-
try ration is free from preservatiYes

The Disappearing Horse.-On no less
authority than that of Col. Albert J.
Pope the statement is made that at no
distant time a cart or carriage drawn
by horses or other animals will be a
curiosity in the cities of the world,
and in most of the rural districts as
veil. Col. Pope foreshadows the reign
of electricity as the power for horse
less vehicles, and shows that a motor
carriage, while it may cost more than
the ordinary carriage, costs far less for
its care and keeping, can be recharged
with electric power at small expense
on the shortest notice, and will do rs
much work as a vehicle drawn by two
or four horses. Col. Pope predicts the
speedy supremacy OF the horseless car
riage, and the change will be gladly
welcomed not only by those who ap-
preciate the economy of the new power.
but also by all who favor the greater
cleanliness of our streets.-Leslie's
Weekly. Whoever wrote the
above had a long look into the future.

The fact that chemicals are begin
ming to be used in pure butter is an
omen not fraught with good to the
producers of pure butter 1t Is hoped
that the practice Is not widespread,
for If the people begin to find out that
they cannot, even in the high priced
article, get butter that is free from
preservatives, a reaction against the
use OF butter Is sure to come. The but
ter market will be demoralized just as
few years ago the foreign cheese mar
ket was ruined by the filled cheese
sent abroad. We are yet to see a great
uprising of the people against doctor
ed goods" in every form. If the people
can feel that their high priced butter
Is free from all Objectionable sub
stances tho market for it is bound to
improve, as the people will become
fearful Of the lower priced goods. 1t IS
both right and a good stroke Of BUSH
ness policy to keep our butter free from
deleterious substances. Butter well
made and properly taken care Of needs
no preservative but salt to insure its
keeping for a reasonable time.

Prof. A. S. Mitchell, chief chemist OF
the Wisconsin Dairy and Food Com
mission was one OF those testfying be-
fore the senatorial pure food investi-
eating committee in Chicago. He de-
clared that some of the preservatives
used in butter and milk were exceed
ingly dangerous, the more so as they
We're used carelessly and in quantities
far in excess of the amounts required.
He said that he had found ''freezine"
to be nothing more than almost pure
formic aldehyde, a chemical that acts
disastrously on the stomach. He said
he could only surmise the results when
milk diluted with it is used constantly
in the family. 1t is impossible to tell
the injury that has already been In
flicted on the people by these chemicals.
The worst feature of the business is
that the manufacturers and their
agents are all the time trying to con-
vince people that these preservatives
are safe. Let no one be deceived by
these pretenses. 1t is easy enough Ia
get testimonials, and even physicians
are sometimes Influenced to give an
opinion favorable to the wrong side
but the best experts in the country
and even in foreign countries are con-
stantly warning the people agains;

Dogs and horses generally get on

from Manchester proves that in some
cases the friendship is something borc

A carriage horse. accompanied by lis
stable companion, a retriever dog, to
which he was exceedlnly attached, was
drinking at trough near the exchange.
While the dog was waiting for his
friend to finish his draught large
mastiff picked quarrel with him
which ended in fight. The mastiff.
as may be supposed, had the better OF
the battle, and the retriever was Sc
verely bitten. The horse, from the
moment he heard his friends cry,

him, hurried TO the rescue, and after

STRANGE FRIENDS.

Horses as a rule are particularly
docile. and so 1t is not surprising to
find instances of friendship between
them and smaller animals, though oc-
casionally the choice of their compan-
ions is not a little strange. Many are
the cases of mutual affection existing
between horses and cats. the most
famous being that between Godolphin
Arab and a black cat. which on the
death of his equine friend refused to
leave the body and on being driven
away retired to hayloft, refused food
and died OF a broken heart

Dairy Notes.

Pennsylvania has taken her place In
the line of states that have passed anti
colored oleomargarine laws. The new
law allows oleo sold when uncolored,
but even then the sellers and manufac-
turers have to have licenses.
Recently we told our readers OF the
efforts OF the process butter manufac-
turers of Massachusetts to get the gov
ernor to refuse to sign the bill regulat-
ing the manufacture and sale OF
process butter unless the name Reno
waited Butter" were changed. They were
unsuccessful, and the governor has
signed the bill, which thus becomes a
law. The name Renovated Butter"
will therefore stand.
