DO Keep Cider ewce

Pure sweet cider is only obtainable
from clean, sound fruit, and conse-
quently the apples should be carefully
examined and wiped before grinding.
That made from decayed fruit will be
filthy and sour In the beginning, and
nothing will make 1t sweet and fit to go
into human stomach. Good cider may
be kept sweet several months by plac-
ing in each barrel Immediately on max
ing the fo.owing ingredients: Ground
mustard, 4 ounces; salt, 1 ounce;
ground chalk, ounce; alcohol, 1 pint.
Shake well and keep in a cool cellar.

Cracked whent for Young Chicks.

In wheat-growing localities It is al
ways noticed that young chickens
around the barns are always unusually
thrifty during the wheat harvest.
They pick up the scattered grains and
soon get to the stage where they will
acquire n full suit of feathers. There
is no better material either to make
growth or feathers than wheat in the
grain. For very small chicks the grain
must be cracked, but they soon be-
come able to swallow whole wheat
grains, which is better whole feed
for fowls than anything else.

Mr.. M. R. Knowlton:
Dear ir:-1n reply to your request to
give detailed description as to the con-
dition of the organs of your horse that
performed an autopsy on, | found the Or
gans as follows The pancreas was slight
ly cougested. The appearance of the
stomach was normal; 1t contained little
water, bran and IL few bits of straw. The
intestines showed the usual post mortem
LESSONS that one might expect to find after
an animal had been dead day or two.
The spleen was congested and somewhat
softened. The kidneys were congested
and the left one slightly soft"ned. The
liver showed numerous hemorrhagic
spots, and was extremely congested and
showed sOftening in certain parts of it.
In the bladder was found small GUAM
tity of dark colored urine with strong
ammoniacal odor, and also its mucous
coat was congested. The lungs showed
extreme congestion. The heart showed
endooarditis, and clots of dark blood were
found in both ventricles. On examining
the spinal cord found no evidence of
spinal meningitis. All of the above path
illogical changes in the organs of your
horse, have observed in other horses
organs, post-mortem, that have died of
aZoturia.
