GREEN BONES AS FOOD.
As a Special Material for Egg Produce
tion They Are Really With
out Rival.

The value Of bone cutter exceeds its
cost II the cutter is used only one sea-
son, but as they are almost indestruct-
ible they will last for years. Fresh
green bone is almost of itself a COM
plete food, and may be used as special
material for egg production. While the
proportion of moisture in MSe varies.
ii is in but small amount in bone COM
pared with some other foods. The
moisture in bone may be set down at
about 35 per cert, or a little over one
third. Bone contains about 20 pounds
of mineral matter in 100 pounds, 20
pounds Of fat and 20 pounds of albu-
mlnoids. The mineral matter Tor ASH
contains about 81 pounds of phosphate
of lime in 100 pounds, 11H pounds OF
carbonate Of lime and a small propor-
tion of earthly mS tier. Now, anyone
can easily notice that bone is one Of
the best foods for producing eggs, az
the fat assists in forming the yolk Of
the egg and also in sustaining the fowl
in winter when the weather is cold.
The albuminoids provide the albumen
for the eggs, and the carbonate of lime
forms the shells, while the phosphate
of lime is an ingredient of the eggs and
is also just the thing to feed to growing
chicks to make them grow. Then there
is more or less adhering meat to green
bone which is largely nutritious and
very favorable to the production of
eggs. There is no necessity for feeding
oyster shells to provide lime for the
eggshells, as the bone contains car
Donate of lime in sufficient proportion
for. that purpose. Zone is digestible
and is food, yet il also serves us grit f;
but in that respect no claims are made
for it compared with hard, sharp grit
DO not confound green cut bone with
ground bone or bone meal. The one Is
dry and hard, the OF er is juicy and
succulent. Another point is that bone
cutter is not bone mill. The bone
cutter does not grind, but cuts las fine
as may be wished) both dry and green
bones, but bone mill will only grind
dry bones, as green bones are not suf.
ficiently brittle to be round. The way
to feed green bone is to give it in the
morning, about a pound TO dozen
hens (some give an ounce to each hen
or a pound TO le fowls), then give no
other food until night, bnt let the hens
scratch and work. Two or three times
week half the quantity of bone may
be used, giving also cut clover, ground
foods, etc, but always give full meal
of whole grain at night. as too much
soft food is not conducive to thrift

THE FARMERS LOT.
Happy One All over the
| United States.

Because the farmer does not receive
every year for his crops and stock a
high price, he should not permit him
self TO grow Indifferent and think farm
ing a nonpaying business. Like any
other vocation farming has its ups and
downs. Some farmers, however, seem
&c think that 'hard times are going to
be with us always. Not so. The am
bilious, progressive, scientific farmer is
prospering to-day and has no time to
complain. Those who take gloomy
view of everything, and see failure
where there is success, can never hope
TO improve their conditions by will-o'-
the-wisp methods.
Above all, the farmer should be hope
full and not easily discouraged, which
is in most cases unwarranted. Your
own efforts will do more toward salts
flying the mortgage on your farm than
the political party with which you may
be allied.
Practical, scientific. well directed,
carefully studied work are the farmers
weapons with which to combat adver-
sity and win the abundant prizes ma
turc offers. A disgruntled, apathetic
farmer, who thinks those of his calling
absolutely lost and can never get out OF
debt, is curse to any community.
The condition of the farming class Of
the United States to-day is, in the main,
prosperous. An occasional "howler" is
found in every section, but he would be
pessimistic in the Celestial city.-Ag-
ricultural Epitomist.

AE.ONG THE POULTRY.

Roup is produced by neglecting a
bad cold.
Do not feed sulphur TO fowls in damp
weather.
Even in cold weather good ventilation
is necessary.
There is no breed that lays eggs OF
uniform color.
If eggs are desired for Matching use
two-year-old hens.
Clean out the quarters often and
whitewash the walls.
A fruitful cause of disease among
poultry is foul water.
Growing chickens and laying hens
should be literally supplied with bones
and shells in the form of meal.
The greater the number of eggs
from each hen the lower the cost of
each egg proportionately. Keep the
hens laying.
Other things being equal, the hens
supplied with good range will thrive
the best.-St. Louis Republic.

CUTTING UP HOGS.
Not Many Farmers Know How TO DO
This Neatly, ExpeditiousIy and to
the Best Advantage.

For cutting up, the carcass of hog
should be laid on the back, upon a
strong table. The head should then
be cut off close by the ears, and the
hinder feet so far below the houghs as
not to disfgure the hams, and leave
room sufficient for hanging them up;
after which the carcass is divided into
equal halves, up the middle of the back
bone, with cleaying knife, and, If
necessary, hand-mallet. Then cut the
ham from the side by the second JOINT
of the backbone, which will appear on
dividing the carcass, and dress the
ham by pairing little off the flank, or
skinny part, so as to shape it with a
half round point, clearing off any top
fat which may appear. Next cut off the
sharp edge along the backbone with "a
knife and mallet, and slice off the first
rib next the shoulder, where there Is
a bloody vein, which must be taken out,
since, if it is left in, that part is apt
TO spoil. The corners should ne
squared off when the ham is cut. The
ordinary practice is to cut out the
spine or backbone. Some take out the
chine and upper parts of the ribs il

caiity has its peculiar mode of proceed
ing ng.-Western Plowman.

in the offices and shops OF the states.
They walk up and down the sides OF
a gulch. dig half dozen holes in the
hard ground to depth OF probably
foot, fail to find any signs OF that for
which they are supposed to be search
ing, and move on to the next one, where
the same methods are gone through
with again. Prospecting as a business
is not learned in day. and these men
are the veriest amateurs at it. They
have no more chance OF ofsucceeding here
than the old-time miner would have as
a stock speculator. To those who 40
succeed IL is question OF luck, and he
percentage that fortune favors is small.
This can easily be realized when it is
stated that the men coming into this
country have expended during the past
season alone, for transportation and
outfits. more than 0,000,O00, and there
has been less than $7,0o0,0o0 in gold
taken out OF the country altogether

miners themselves for the latter sum.
