Poultry Hats.

From Farmers Review: A question
frequently asked is What is the best
book on poultry matter that l can get,
and where a it be bought?" There
are several good books. but it is i'm
possible to cover even the main points
at any length, in one book. l always
answer there is no best" for what is
best for one purpose is not for another.
For Information on every day matters,
the various poultry journals and the
poultry departments in the farm pa
pers are much better than poultry
books in my opinion; and if one is al
together for utility the departments in
farm papers are ahead of any poultry
journals I have seen, except one. For
fanciers, of course. the books and pa
pers devoted altogether to fancy breed
ing are the ones needed. Books on the
subject give n OF two persons expe-
rience, as a rule. while the papers give
various experiences. and of persons
who just have common advantages.
also tell of the way in which they have
conquered difficulties and invented
home conveniences. For my use every
day l much prefer to depend upon pa
pers than books. A few weeks ago q
writer in Farmers Review gave an ex-
perience with pounding crockery for
grit. I can't help but think those
fowls had had access to a gravel or Gin
der pile. for in seven years of furnish
ing grit We v saw fowls refuse
pounded crockery unless they had Just
been supplied with it. II grit is neg
!ected for a while, the egg yield first
shows the effect by becoming much
less, then in a few more days some of
The fowls act dumpish, and il O fur
nished with teeth at once, a serious
case of indigestion results. We hon.
estly believe that the greatest per cent
OF SO called cholera is nothing but lice,
and the next largest per cent is indi-
gestion caused by lack of grit. Where
fowls have free range they pick I'D
nearly all the grit they need, and es-
pecially il the soil is gravelly, or II
they a run along a brook: even then
they need something sharper than
gravel to grind their feed.
Grit is as necessary for ducks and
geese as for dry land fowls. but they
do not require as much sharp grit:
gravel and sand being all that is neces-
sary. unless you feed them wholly on
corn. We think the reason so many
fail in raising geese and ducks without
having q stream for them to run to is
because they do not furnish the re-
Quired sand and gravel. We know .f
some promising ducklinss in this
that died from the lack
Of grit. We have had what seemed to
our neighbors phenomenal success. in
the past two years with ducks. and We
give plenty Of sand the credit of It.
Charcoal is necessary, too. for good
health in fowls. and this is especially
true as regards laying ducks. They
will eat quantities of it. almost as much
as will pigs. It is eaten greedily ty
fattening ducks. also.

From time to time articles appear
in various papers about the ~so-called
Hill control" of Baltimore & Ohio.
together with exhaustive details of
various struggles which are supposed
to be in progress between Mr.. Hill
and other people in the Baltimore &
Ohio board. The details of these strus-
giles are very interesting. but are open
to the criticism that they have no ex-
istence in fact. The plain facts of the
matter are, first that Mr.. Hill does not
control Baltimore & Ohio. nor has he
at any time expressed any desire or
taken any steps in that direction;
second. that there has at no time been
any differences of opinion between Mr..
Hill and the Baltimore & Ohio people
with regard to a selection Of general
manager. the selection of Mr.. Under
wood being satisfactory to everybody;
and third. that the delay in regard 20
Mr.. Underwood's acceptance of the
general manasership Of Baltimore G
Ohio was due to matters connected
with the 500 Line more than anything
else.
1t Is pretty we'll understood here
that Mr.. Hill was invited to interest
himself in Baltimore & Ohio, on the
theory that he could be Of great SER
vice to the property as an adviser. and
this end he. with some OF his
friends. purchased a substantial inter-
est in the preferred stock Of the
company. This interest is nowhere
near q controlling interest. but is still
very large. II may be said without
fear Of contradiction, that there is en-
tire harmony in Baltimore & Ohio
circles from top to bottom.

addition to the privilege of obtaining
q free homestead of 16G acres of land
they have also purchased land. In a
recent interview on the subject Messrs.
c. E. and A. Hughes Of GAINESVILLE.
Clay Co.. say:
I'VE are we'll pleased with Western

warmer than we expected. AS for the
crops We have never seen anything
that can compete with them. We have
lived in Minnesota and have farmed
some of what they count the best lands
in the Red River Valley for ten years
and have done very we'll in that part
OF the country, ard have farms there

but believe that this country western

have bought from the Canadian Pa
cific Railway Company one section Of
land northeast Of Edmonton in the
Beaver Hill district. We have trav-
eled through that part of the country
and have seen the grain in the gran
aries and the amount Of land that 1t
was taken of and find that they have
grown as much as fifty bushels and
yer to the acre, and they say that this
has not been a good year. and very
little il any grain had been touched
by the frost. Hay seems to be plenti-
full, and il you wish to put up log
buildings you a get the logs within
a few miles. Coal can be had at the
mines for Is cents per ton, or you "a
dig it yourself. Nearly all kinds Of
garden truck can be grown in abund-
nee. We find everything hat can be
grown in good demand. The farmers
tell us that they a get four and a
half live weight per hundred for hogs.
and for three year old steers from fifty
to sixty dollars per head, providing
they are good. We will move into that
part of the country next summer. All
the people in that part of the country
seem satisfied, and WI do not see any
reason why they should not be So"
The Messrs. Hughes also stated that
they would be very glad to afford any
one desiring particulars about the
country they had visited the fullest
information. on receiving enquiries at

Rules for Washing Dairy Utensils.

Prof. A. NJ. Soule of the Texas Agri-
cultural College. writes to the Texas
Stock and Farm Journal that he has
formulated the following rules for the
proper care of dairy utensils:
l. Rinse out all vessels that have
contained milk with luke warm water
GO to so degrees Fahr.)
2. II boiling water is first used 1t
cooks or sets the milk on the surface
of the tin. making it greasy in ap-
pearance. and to the touch. A coating
thus formed increases from time to
time and this may be the first cause OF
abnormal lamentations that occur
later.
3. A little sal soda added to the
wash water has a beneficial effect. 1t
is an alkali and is useful in cutting"
the greasy substance SO often seen on
improperly washed vessels.
4. A vessel is clean when no greasy
appearance is apparent to the eye nor
to the touch when the hand is passed
over the surface.
5. After the condition noted in four
is scared by thorough scrubbing." In
vert the cans over steam Jet and ster-
ilize them with hot steam for five min
utes. Nearly all lamentations in milk
are due to the action of bacteria. These
can be best destroyed by the use OF
| steam, fresh air, and sunshine. As
many of them can successfully resist
the action of steam for several minutes
it is necessary to expose milk utensils
to its action for some time.
6. Never use rags to cleanse vessels
used in the dairy. They are simply
hotbeds for the breeding OF undesir-
able germ life.
Z. Steam. in addition to destroying
germ and fungus growth aids in drying
the cans. thus preventing the forma-
ton of rust and Obviating the use OF
cloths to dry the several vessels.
8. II rust or accretiOns have formed
on tins they should be removed at once
by using s~and-soap. sapolio. gold dust,
etc.
9. "Soured" cans may be sweetened
by boiling thoroughly with sal soda
and sterilizing. II a can has open
seams and has become badly tainted
it will be difficult to make it sweet
again. In such a case it is better to
abandon it altogether and Cur prop
erly constructed new utensils.
10. To cleanse hand towels that may
be used by operators in the dairy, boil
in sal soda water.
IL. Where wood floors are used any
grease may be removed by the use OF
a little concentrated I've. Never use
lye about tins.
II. Dairy utensils should have the
fewest number of seams possible and
those present should be smooth SOL
dered."
Is. Wooden pals should not be used
to hold milk for reasons that are ap-
parent.
IA. All utensils should be exposed
to the free action of air and sunshine.
For this purpose a shelf may be con-
structed in front of the milk house on
which the vessels may be placed to
drain and dry.
Is. In our opinion the trouble with
rust on cans, ETC., experienced by many
dairymen in this state is largely due to
| the presence of salt in the air and es-
pecially is this true in the vicinity of
the gulf breezes.
