Poultry Notes.

From Farmers Review: This sea-
son has taught us that minks or weas-
els will catch chicks much more than
). either ducks or turkeys. after the poul-
try is any size. The reason is not hard
to find. After turks get any size they in-
variably fly high to roost and the ducks
make such a terrible racket when
rel they are disturbed that 1t would
take a bold mink to face the music.
Next season we shall try the plan OF
hanging lighted lanterns among the
coops; they are almost a necessity
anyway, when one is fattening a flock
Of ducks. On dark nights they are IN
a constant uproar and of course do not
do so we'll as If they were quiet.
Admirers of Blue Andalusians re-
port them as being very great layers
Of large white eggs, and as being al
most as beautiful in shape. plumage
and carriage as birds. They are larger
than Minorcas, the hens frequently
weighing six pounds when In laying
shape. which is a very good welgnt.
They are also reported as being extra
hardy, especially the young chicks
This will appeal to admirers OF a
Mediterranean class Of fowls. as the
Leghorn chicks, as a rule. are not very
hardy.
EARLY chicks were the exception
around and in this, vicinity this year;
and poor matches the rule. This mi
versal complaint Of poor matches Is
generally thought to- be due to the
long continued cold of last
winter. Turkeys and ducks were not

Cooperative Dairying i'll Belgium.

CO-ODer1tlyo DalrylnS All ASosa:AuA'
Cooperative dairy societies had I'M
til recently not made much progress
in Belgium, but during the past few
years there has been a remarkable
increase in their numbers, eighty
seven institutions of this character
having been established in the year
1897 alone, says the British Dairy
Farmer. At the beginning of 1898
there were 1877 dairies in operation.
supported by 1902 cooperating men,
bers. An interesting feature of this
development is the fact that it has
taken place for the most part among
the peasant farmers, the average num-
Der of cows owned by the co~-operators
being barely three per member. But
ter is the principal product of these
societies. and their output of this COM
modify in 1897 was valued at $685.
600, while the value of their sales of
cheese, milk, and separated milk was
estimated at e10,5OO. The published
accounts of one of these cooperative
diaries situated at Oostcamp, Flanders,
show that the average price realized
for the butter produced and sold in
the year 1897 was is. O1hd. per lib.
The average price received by the
shareholders for the milk supplied by
them to the dairy vas Sgd. per gal

the year amounted to an additional

members was calculated to be 1Nd.
per gallon. In this society, which is
typical of many others, the profits are
divided as follows: One-half to the
shareholders who hold one share for
each COW they keep; one-fourth to the
reduction of loan capital, is per cent
to the reserve fund. and the remainder
is distributed in the form of a bonus
to the employees of the society.

Bogus Hog Cholera Serum.
St. Bernice, Ind.

The veterinarian of the Indiana
Agricultural Experiment Station points
out that agents of cholera medicines in
White, Warren, Pulaski and Fulton
counties, Ind, are claiming tina they
sell goods recommended by the station,
and agents in Marshall and Kosciusko
counties claim to be agents of the
Indiana State Board of Agriculture.
All agents making such claims in any
part of the state are frauds, he says,
and should be prosecuted. This is a
timely warning and n that readers
Of The Farmers Review will do we'll
to bear in mind when agents come
along claiming to possess and use
serum made by the government or state
bacteriologists. The United States
Department of Agriculture has an
nounced success in the preventive
treatment of hogs against cholera with
serum which they have made and used
to %inoculate hogs and we now expect
to hear from all sides that unprin-
cipled men are out among the farm
ers claiming to have authority from
dire disease will surely follow in their
those mentioned to inoculate hogs. The
wake, for they are using some icti-
tious dangerous serum which has been
unscientiically prepared from the
active virus of hog cholera. Should
such men visit the homes of Review
readers we trust that they will be re-
quired to show signed credentials from
those they claim to represent before
they are allowed to WELD their squirt
guns among we'll hogs. A little learn
ing is a dangerous thing and one can
not be too careful in experimenting
with alleged serums which are far more
likely to do harm than good. We have
abundant faith that the government
will eventually make it possible for all
farmers to prevent hog cholera among
their hogs by incubation with bona
ide serum, but just at present we
warn our readers to fight shy OF all
but authorized agents of the Blu
reau of Animal Industry or state eX-
pertinent stations.

Feeding Cattle for Fat Shows.

Mr.. Rider Haggard, in his interesting
article in Longman's Magazine on "A
Farmers Year." passes the following
opinion on fat shows and feeding:
To-day l went to Norwich to see the
agricultural show. l cannot pretend
that an agricultural show held under
a roof is a particularly pleasant place
to linger in; there are too many smells,
and too much noise. The Red Polled
classes were strong, the fat steers be-
ing, some of them, magnificent animals.
AS was to be expected, the executors
of the lamented Mr.. Colman took a
large proportion of the prizes. Out OF
their great herds they are able to pick
and choose; moreover, in such estab-
lishments the rearing Of cattle for
show is almost a business. From birth
till they appear upon the bench, every
delicacy which they can De persuaded
to eat is crammed doOR the throats
of these pampered animals, together
with liberal draughts of new milk.
Hood tells me that when he was IN
the service of a gentleman in the
Shires they reared a Shorthorn steer
that took the first prizes at some OF
the largest shows in England. In ad-
dition to all his other nutriment, this
creature was accustomed to have a
bucket of new milk given to him every
day, with admirable results on his con-
dition. Such treatment mea a large
expenditure, with a very problematical
return in the way of advertisement;
indeed. as l think l have said else
where, I doubt whether it pays the
small man to compete at these great
shows however good NAV be his stock.

a y an English exchange. The princi-
pal deficiency is in iron and phos-
phorus, two elements of primary i'm
portance in the ailment Of human be-
ings. Fowls obtain a very large per-
centage of these substances from the
vegetable kingdom, and II the supply
of green food is withdrawn the yolks
very soon assume a pale color. The
deficiency can be supplied to a great
extent by putting some sulphate Of
iron or syrup of phosphates in the
drinking water, but this is not a natu-
raj method, and it is much better to
supply green food in plenty.
Now is the time to buy FLOODED
stock for use as breeders in the
spring. It is. always better to have
ones own eggs than have to depend
on eggs brought from a distance. no
matter whether the eggs are to be
Matched out under a"hen or in an in
cubator. Eggs in transit r exposed
to too many accidents. We have known
a shipment to be delayed for days and
come into the hands Of the buyer in
a half rotten condition. The men
that are going into raising pure bred
poultry for the first time sometimes
hesitate as to whether to wait till
spring and buy the eggs for sitting or
buy the fowls and have them lay the
eggs they want. The latter is by all
ear the more sensible course A
rooster and two hens will make a good
breeding pen. The hens will lay
enough eggs before spring to pay for
themselves and the eggs will be had
fresh for Matching. There will then
be no doubt as to their fertility and
purity of breed.

NOT WHAT IT OUGHT TO BE-.

The new caucus law passed by the
last legislature, which takes the
place of the primary and caucus law
has Just been published. 1t Will be
rank disappointment to all VINO
were looking for reform rather than
Reorganization in the manner OF
holding caucuses, etc. This new law
will prove little less than farce. 1t
virtually establishes the old system
but does not in the least abate the
evils for which the caucus had been
notorious. A reading Of the new law
will be extremely disappointing, as
it simply provides, with long VERDI
age and in Il hollow show Of much
legal formality, for an old-fashioned
caucus, which, however, shall be
kept open not less than one hour,
The unnecessary and bunglesome re-
ouirement that the chairman and
secretary Of the caucus shall take an
oath of office before entering upon
their duties at the caucus is an eX-
ample Of only one Of the farcical at
tempts to throw the halo of legal re-
striction around IA establishment
of the old machine caucus.
