False Reports.

From time to time our attention is
called to some publication or some ar
ticle in some paper recounting the i'm
mense profits to be made in the poul-
try business by amateurs. One would
suppose that the only thing necessary
to great wealth would be to buy a few
hundred eggs and get them Matched
in some way. The rest would be easy.
Not long ago we saw book on how
to make $500 in q single year from an
Investment of $12. The absurdity will
be apparent to every poultry raiser.
Yet there are people that are gulled
by such publications. 1t is easy enough
to figure ones self rich by means of
eggs. We have all read about the
Oriental who became great by that
means-great in his Imagination. He
had a basket Of eggs for sale in the
market place. Lacking trade. he went
to figuring on what he might do If he
Matched the eggs. Every egg would
produce q chick. every chick would lay
80 many eggs, every egg of the new
product would produce another chick,
and soon the man owned millions of
hens-in his imagination. In fancy he
became SO great that he demanded the
daughter of the sultan in marriage
Then, said he: when l have married
her will show how great is my power

Preventing Texas Fexer.

The trials under direction of the
Oklahoma Experiment Station, of dip
ping cattle in the oil preparation pre-
scribed by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, showed that care.
ful dipping would destroy all the ticks.
A varying percentage of the cattle had
their skin injured by the oil, with con-
siderable irritation of the eyes. Where
the cattle were driven considerable
distance or exposed to storms soon
after dipping, some of them died. The
indications are that it is much safer
to dip in warm rather than cold
weather. In all cases the cattle should
have good care and feed for some DAYS
after dipping. Driving on dusty roads
is chief cause Of injury to the ewes.
The results of trials by the station
of inoculating northern cattle with
blood of southern cattle were unsatis-
factory. In most cases they contract
ed southern or Texas fever. sometimes
that the cattle recovering were at least
partially immune, but the apparent in
ability to control results with our
present knowledge makes it not advis-
able to recommend this method of
preventing loss.

INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR
OUR RURAL READERS,
How euccessful Farmers Operate Thl.
Department. of the Farm-A Few
Hints ~ to The Care Of Live Stock
and Poultry.
Guard the MIX Supply.

AT this time it is particularly neces-
sary for all to guard the purity of the
mix supply. Especially is this advice
applicable to all that are producing
milk for use in the great cities. Re-
Gently a representative of the Farm
ers' Review called on an army surgeon
located at Fort Sheridan. The surgeon
called special attention to the fact that
many OF the returned soldiers had
Deen, or were, now sick with typhoid
fever at their homes in the country.
Inc we'll water in such cases is almost
sure to become contaminated, and if
not the we'll water, then the germs are
more than likely to get into utensils
used in the handling of milk. These
germs live in the ground for years, and
curing all of that time are constantly
moved from their first positions by
rains and drouths, being driven
through the soil by the lateral move
ment of capillary water and otherwise.
In this way it may take years for them
to progress from sewer or vault to
the drinking water, but sooner or later
tney lind their way into the liquid that
is used for all purposes and then null
tiply for work.
AL drinking water should be under
suspicion, and should be boiled. All
milk used in the households should be
pasteurized. The cans in which milk
Is to be sent to the cities and cream
cries should be purified at least by
polling and by steam if possible If we
are to make war on disease germs we
must begin with dairy products and
dairy surroundings. Very often a we'll
mas been the means of spreading ty-
pnold fever through whole commun-
1ty' sometimes taking off several mem
oers from single household. This
occurs often with wells that are be-
ileved to be pure. When such a we'll
becomes contaminated it not only
threatens its immediate neighborhood,
put many other communities. We will
suppose that such we'll is used for
the washing Of cans and other utensils
employed in the dairy. The milk is
sent IN the cans to the creamery and
the milk is there mixed with milk
from hundred other farms. The
skinned milk is returned to the farm
ers, and the cream is made up into
outter to be sent into a thousand
homes. In this way the disease germs
are carried into the homes Of the
many. Disease breaks out and the
physicians are utterly unable to trace
1t. 1t is called mysterious.
Inc dairy is especially to be looked
after Tor the reason that dairy prod
ucts are consumed largely in an un
cooked state. Dirt and carelessness in
the dairy are responsible for many of
the Ills endured both by the dairyman
and the general public.

Matched chickens are not countable.
Only by actual experience can sue
cess be made in poultry raising. False
reports are sent out only by people
that expect to delude the inexpe-
rienced. The raising of chickens is no
easy matter. and making profit from
them Is about as hard as to make q
profit from any other investment. The
one great advantage possessed by the
poultry business is that it does not re-
quire a large investment of capital to
begin with, and the capital is soon
turned over,

Selection.

What selection can do for a flock
is shown by the experience of Wyck-
of, of New York state, who by select
ing the best layers among his flock
of Leghorns for several years, got his
whole flock of six hundred up to an
average of one hundred and ninety-six
eggs per hen year, says Massachu-
sets Ploughman. This is an extreme
ly high average for so many hens on
one farm. 1t means better than an
egg every other day for every hen the
year round. Not only in spring and
summer, but through the moulting
season, through the dead of winter,
and through the times when hens
naturally take for sitting or for rails
ing their brood, even for small flock,
the record would be unusually good.
No amount of care with ordinary
fowls would make them do as we'll
on large scale. Here is an object
lesson which tends to show that breed
ing and selection will yet do for hens
what the same agencies have done for
other kinds Of live stock.

There are but few, if any, very
large fiocks where 500 or 1000 hens
are kept, says Philadelphia Record.
Farmers are disposed to give the COW
the preference, leaving poultry to the
female members of the family, yet
keeping COWS involves more labor than
is required for poultry, and fowls can
be made more profitable in proper
ton to capital invested or required
than larger stock if farmers will give
poultry special attention as business,
put all large stocks must be started
on the farm with healthy and vigorous
pure breeds, four or five years being
necessary to have the flock to the full
limit in number, for the reason that
II they are purchased in large num-
bers the fowls must be procured from
many different places and the result
Will be disease and lice. 1t is this
starting with large numbers Of pur-
chased birds that has caused so much
disaster to enterprises of that char
acter. The farmer who will gradual
~ increase his flock until he has sew
eral hundred, and who raises his
young stock from selected parents,
Will have an opportunity for observa-
ton and deriving experience az his
fiocks grow. In the winter season.
when so many farmers are anxious to
utilize their labor, the management of
a large flock should be very remuner-
ative, and as the returns for egg and
poultry are cash, and frequent, less
capital will be required than some
other enterprises. The fowls con.
tribute daily.
