teeman from Mr.. Bryas's home state
has been issued:
The meeting of the national demo-
cratic committee was a grand success,
everything for which the meeting was
called being attended to. This call was
made at the instance of the friends of
bimetalism, and those friends control
led it throughout. There seemed to be
some of the friends of our cause who
had conceived the idea that the inten-
ton was to switch issues and leaders
as well as workers, a conclusion with
out the slightest foundation. The call
was made for the purpose of pushing
the ways and means plan of organiza-
tion and raising money for the cam
paign of 1900 and perfecting this work
so that it might be extended into every
state and territory. This was accom-
plished. No one who supported Bryan
in 1896 need fear that that cause will
be abandoned or in any way hampered
by the present committee

shipping Live Fowls.

| have Seen lately, as | have seen
and commented upon year after
year, during the shipping for many
years past, large numbers of crates
of live poultry sent III by express,
the crates weighing twice as much
as necessary. Many times they
consist simply of box made out of
lumber at least an inch thick, the
top covered with Stats or narrow
pieces of board, the latter often
twice as thick as necessary. These
coops should be made ust as light
as possible to answer the purpose.
The bottom should be tight, all the
rest slated, aud the narrower the
Stats the better. Lath makes the
best material. The coops should
not be so large that two men can
not handle them readily and easily,
as this insures more careful hand
ling. 1t is better if Slated par
tition is put through the middle, as
this divides the fowls, putting fewer
togeth her, and keeps them from all
sliding into one end of the coop in
a heap if the coop is tipped up on
end. Many fowls are suffocated be-
cause of proper precautions not be-
ing taken. Food and water should
be provided, and the co"ps should
not be over-crowded. Great loss
results from overlooking the latter
precaution. The fowls should be
graded, also, the best grades being
put together, and chicks and fowls
packed separately. Don't pay

By the way, we heard the other
day that eggs wrinkled at the mar
row ends produce cockerels. To
the student of embryology this
fallacy is at once apparent. For
the first few DAYS the chicken is
sexual. From then 10 about the
seventh day it is distinctly her
maphrodite and contains within
itself the elements OF both sexes.
After this stage it diverges in one
direction, one set of organs dimin-
ishing and the other developing,
according to whether the germ is
going to produce male or a female.

Succulent Feed for Hogs.

The hogs stomach is very small
in proportion to the body which it
has to digest nutriment for. Hence
we have never favored feeding hogs
mainly on bulky food with little
nutrition. All the attempts to
grow hogs on clover without grain,
even when they appear successful
for time, tend to degenerate the
hog to his original wild condition,
when it was lank, long-bodied and
had comparatively little pork for
it's weight. Yet where hogs are be-
ing fattened they should have some
bulky food in addition to their
grain, and it ought always to be
succulent, so as to mix well with
the grain in digesting. Wheat fine
middlings, with milk or water will
be eaten greedily by animals fed on
corn, and if to this a few raw beets
are given daily, it will keep the
hog thrifty, and its pork will be
much sweeter and better than that

FOR THE FARMER,
Wheat and Corn for Producing Pork.

Wheat and Corn for Producing Pork.
Some experiments made at the
Ohio State University show that
bushel of wheat produced 1877
pounds of pork, while bushel Of
corn made 1873 pounds. When the
difference of weight between a BUSH
ell of wheat and a bushel of corn is
considered, the actual gain, it is
seen, is almost the same for both.
Calculated on the market price of
wheat and Indian corn, it costs
$401 to produce 100 pounds in
crease with wheat, and 50 IS to
produce the same increase with
Indian corn.
Carefully weighing all the reli-
able evidence at hand, the con-
clusion is reached that from the
point of view of chemical COM
position, of digestibility, and of
nutritive value, Indian corn with
its products, pound for pound, is
fully equivalent to wheat. In the
case of food for man, there must be
taken into account the additional
element of palatability. tits evident
that in the case of two given foods
of almost the same chemical com
position, and of equal digestibility,
the more palatable will be the most
valuable food for man.
In regard to palability, as has
already been mentioned, there is
the wisest difference of opinion. In
the United States, and particularly
in the South, corn bread is by
many considered the peer of eight"
bread and corn cake and johnny
cake are reished by almost all
classes. In Europe, however, there
is generally a strong prejudice
against it. 1t is condemned as only
hog or chicken food and little is
known of attractive methods of
preparing it for the table. In the
great famine in Ireland when a
ship load of corn meal was sent
from this country the poor people
did not know enough to even make
corn-meal mush or hasty pudding,
and the barrels of meal afforded but
little relief.-The Ohio Farmer.

1. Take, say, ten gallons new
cider, and suffer it to fermpnt fully,
which will probably be in about two
weeks, if the weather is warm; then
add about eight gallons of new cider
for producing second fermenta-
ton, and in about two weeks add a
like quantity" produce third
fermentation. Stop the bunghole
of the barrel with an empty bottle
with the neck downward, and ex
pose to the sun. When the vinegar
is come, set in cool place. When
making, let there he moderate
degree of heat and free access to ex-
ternal air. The process is FASTENED
by adding t" the cider a quantity
of mother of vinegar, as it is called,
a whitish, ropy congulum of mu-
cilaginous appearance, which is
formed in vinegar and acts as a
ferment. The strength of the vine
gar depends upon the amount of
sugar or starchy matter to be ulti-
mately converted into acetic acid.
Cider made from late apples is es-
teemed the best for vinegar.
2. Another method is as follows:
Put some cider in a cask and add
to it some vinegar containing
abundance of mother of vinegar;
after some days, if the acetic fer
mentation has taken place and sour
ing is going on, add another portion
of cider, and at similar intervals a
third and Il fourth installment of
cider. When the whole has become
vinegar, take out as much as is
equal to the vinegar first put in and
replace by fresh cider, and so pro-
coed. The casks should never be
but partly full; good exposure to air
is necessary, and the temperature
should be kept at IS degrees.
