Cost of Keeping a Hen.

Some one has decided that hen can
be kept for less than SO cents a year.
1t is a poor specimen of a hen that
will not lay dozen eggs a year. AT
the low price Of ten cents dozen, this
would leave a net profit of so cents.
At this rate it will pay every farmer
to keep a flock of hens and give them
proper care. There is no danger Of
overproduction. AS long as the United
States annually imports millions of
dozens of eggs, the market will not be
glutted.-Rural World.

Egg Production.

The extent of the egg business of the
United States is not generally realized.
In 1880 the first hen census put the an
nual egg production at 56,875, 080 doz-
en-. Ten years later it had risen to
817,211, JAG, an increase of 0,336, 066
dozen, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the propOrtionate gain since
then has been even greater.
Dairy Suggestions.
Keep the COW clean by currying her
every day.
Never let COWS drink from a pond
that has no outlet.
You cannot make good butter if the
COWS eat garlic.
Never add anything to milk to pre-
vent it from souring.
Never mix fresh milk with that
which has been canned.
Never move a COW faster than slow
walk if she has a full udder.
Don't let a mixer who uses tobacco
milk if you want good butter.
Any person who milks a COW should
have the finger nails cut close.
The first streams from the teat are
very watery, and had better be MIXED
onto the ground.
Never close can Of milk until it
has been cooled and aired by turning
it from one can to another.
We assert this: That butter is not
injuriously affected by ensilage and
that dehorning does not affect the milk
production.
When cans of milk are to be hauled
a considerable distance, they should
be full, and carried in spring wagons,
to prevent churning.-Western Plow-
man.
Sent to Jail at Last.
An olemargarine dealer of the city Of
Washington, Joseph Wilkins by name,
has been compelled to pay a fine OF
$1,000 and to go to jail for six months
for the illegal sale Of oleomargarine as
butter. He had been arrested several
times before and always compromises
the matter. In the last prosecution he. is
reported to have offered $4,000 to com
promise the case, but through the in
fluence of the secretary of agriculture
the case was carried to the end and the
offender was onvicted.-Dakota Field

Horse Meat as Hen Food
Hundreds Of barrels Of cooked horse
meat are sold every winter to poultry
raisers. The horse flesh is cooked in
tight tanks under steam pressure of
IS pounds This penetrates every par
ticle of the meat, purifying and cook
ing it thoroughly. In this form the
meat will keep from C1e to four weeks,
accordingto the weather. There is no
practical way of preserving horse
meat for any length Of time. Where it
cannot be cooked by steam it should
be boiled. The meat might be sailed
the same as beef but it would have to
be freshened before Being used, and it
is a question whether it would then
be safe feed for hens. It is a good
food for egg production. One of the
most popular brands of poultry meat
on the market is made from carefully
prepared and we'll cooked horsef1esh.

HEARsE DRIVING.

Men Steadily Employed at 1t In the
Larger Cities.
In smaller cities and in the country
the hearse driver may between times
drive other vehicles or engage in some
other work, but in a city of great popu-
lation like New York, where, in the
natural course of things, many deaths
occur daily and where many hearses
are used and kept constantly employed,
hearse driving is a regular occupation.
There are many hearse drivers in the
city who have been thus steadily en-
ployed for many years. Only careful
and skillful drivers are employed in
this capacity.
The letting of hearses is a long estab-
lished custom in this city. Many livery
men own from one to a dozen hearses
and let them to sections and undertake
ers, Perhaps half of the undertakers of
the city do not keep hearses, but hire
of the livery owners So it commonly
happens that in answering calls from
one source and another the hearses
owned by the liverymen are constantly
employed. 1t might be that all the
hearses owned in a stable. whatever
their number, would be called for day
after day and week after week, as regu-
larly as so many carriages Or other
vehicles might be, and SO it comes
about that hearse driving is here a
steady occupation, just like any other.
While hearses are commonly driven
to and from the various cemeteries in
and about the city, they are sometimes
driven out Of the city to various nearby
cities and towns. Hearses have been
driven to greater distances, but they
are not often driven more than 12 or 10
miles away.-New York Sun.

1t Is generally supposed that the SER
penis exhibited by snake charmers have
been deprived of their fangs, and this
is doubtless often the case, while one
instance at least is recorded in which
the mouth of the snake had been sewed
together to prevent it from biting.
The writer noticed at the Ceylon ex-
hibition, given some years ago in Lon
don, that one of the snake charmers,
finding the cobra he was exhibiting be-
coming too lively and aggressive, seized
the reptile by the neck and thrust it
hastily into the small round basket in
which it was carried, at the same time
pushing it with a voluminous white
cloth, at which it bit savagely. Having
almost closed the lid of the basket, the
man Grew away the cloth violently,
thus doubtless dragging out the fangs
which were fastened in it. He then Sc
cured the basket and carried it away.
This, of course, required a large amount
of cool courage as well as great quick
ness Of hand and eye, all of which quail
ties must be doubly necessary in cap
turing and tanning these deadly reptiles.
But if we are astonished at the skill
and dexterity displayed by Indian snake
charmers, still more must we marvel at
the hardihood of the American Indians,
who, in their snake dances. not only
handle the deadly rattlesnake with i'm
punity, but absolutely carry it about in
their mouths Westminster Review.

THE FRENCH MENACE.
Complaint That 1t Is Not the Model
Anair Claimed For 1t.

Complaint That 1t Is Not the Model
Affair Claimed For 1t.
An English writer who has evidently
suffered inveighs rather severely against
the long extolled thrift of the French
housekeeper, which, if it be thrift, is,
according to his notion, pernicious
economy. He considers the meageI
messes served and reserved until the
last scrap is consumed which make up
the course dinner of the French people
most unsatisfactory and far from APP
petizing. SIT has been said, he quotes,
''that a French housekeeper will serve a
grilled chicken foot, making it a sub
stantial course" This he denies-not
the service, but the substantial part
of 1t.
AS to the soup of the provincial
French home. he asserts it is not a
thing to be described by the uninitiated,
and it is certainly not meant for a deli
cate palate. 1t tastes like hot water In
which quantities of cabbage have been
boiled. "Then," he goes on to affirm.
''the only dish of meat will often con
slst OF that which has been used in the
making of the soup"
This testimony is borne out by Amer
lean travellers, who get very tired of
soup meat as a dinner dish. For the
lavoring and finishing Of a dish the
French are doubtless unsurpassed, but
the allegation that the sauce is made
more important than the substantial
and that the garnishing takes prece-
dence over the dish it surrounds is not
without considerable foundation. The
well known story of the French cook
who won a wager by serving a boot
heel scraped and stewed and simmered
and finally served with an enhancing
sauce is a good illustration of much
French cooking.

Some of the Puzxles That the Inter

Some of the Puzzles That the Inter-
esting Invention Presents.
"There are lots of mysterious things
about the monograph that puzzle even
those who are most familiar with their
mechanism, remarked a gentleman
who has had long experience in the
talking machine business. GAS a mat,
ter of fact, no scientist has ever been
able to explain exactly why the thing
talks. They say a duplicate vibration
is set up, but when you pin them down
they all are obliged to admit that they
don't know why the operation of the
transmitter should produce any such
result. Then, again, the difficulty in re-
cording certain tones has always been a
puzzle.
"The most improved form of the ma
chine has. as you know, an extremely
large cylinder, nearly four times the
size of the ordinary one, and for some
unknown reason it very materially in
creases the volume of sound. It would
seem, then, to be a logical inference
that the bigger the cylinder the louder
the tone, and, proceeding on that theory,
a very bright young electrician Of this
city started the other day to buildan
instrument that was really gigantic.
"He put it together without much
trouble and made an experimental cyl
inder nearly a foot in diameter. / was
present when it was tested. Every part
of the machine worked perfectly, and a
beautifully engraved record was secur-
ed, but when the transmitter was at
tached we were astonished to find that
the sound was barely audible. AS near
ly as we could figure it out the tone
was magnifed up to a certain point by
making the cylinder larger, but beyond
that the process was reversed, and it
was progressively diminished. Queer,
wasn't it2"-New Orleans Times Dem
6crat.
