Poultry Notes.

There are a number of ways Of Sc
lecting eggs to send to market, The
best of these ways is to pass each egg
before a candle held on the other side
of q box or board through which a
hole has been made. When we say
candle Of course we recognize the fact
that an actual candle Is not necessary
any kind of a light will do provided
1t be powerful enough to send Its light
through the egg. Only fresh eggs
should be sent to market, especially II
private customers are being supplied,
The size Of the windows has much
t0 do with the comfort or discomfort
OF the fowls In winter. Sad to relate,
most Of the poultry houses owned by
farmers have but small windows,
though we believe that the idea OF
having large windows is growing. The
poultry house that has to accommodate
say fifty hens and has single win
dow two feet square is an abomlna-
tlon, and 1t Is no wonder that in fiocks
so kept diseases are frequent and de-
structive. II but one widow can be
put in a poultry house, 1t should GER
tainly be large one, but 1t is better
to have number Of windows.

French Concbern In Trnnco.

We are indebted to Messrs. Nc
Laughlin Brothers Of Columbus, Ohio,
for translation Of the comments made
by the great French critic Of horses,
M. Louis Baume, on the government
purchases Of French coach stations at
Caen, October 21, 1899. Out of fifty
seven animals submitted for approval,
twenty-five young stations classed as
trotters were chosen and purchased for
the aggregate sum of 245,0O0 francs
($49,OO0). The collection included many
sons and grandsons of Fuschia, Cher
bourg, Juvigny, James Watt, Harley
and Reynolds. NJ. Baume says, among
other things: II believe IL the reputa-
tion Of Harley as great stallion Is
to be saved in the future, 1t will be by
alliance with the daughters Of Fuschia,
who will bring to him the qualities
which he lacks" Sans Gene, a son OF
Hercule Normand out OF Olivette by
Cherbourg, who had record Of 1885
per kilometer (one-third Of a mile) was
purchased by the government for
10000 francs; Rocambole whose record
was 1886, and who is son Of Juvigny
out Of Lutine by Serpolet Bal, was pur-
chased for $4,000 francs; Rouges Ter
res, a four year old chestnut, by
Fuschia out Of Pierce Neige by Cymbal,
who has a record for 1886. was pur-
chased for $4,000 francs. Messrs. Nc
Laughlln Brothers write that they were
fortunate enough to secure the best
horse shown at Achats de Caen this
year, and that their recent importa-
tions are the best lot of French coach
ers they have ever had. They are
nearly all the descendants OF Cher
bourg, Fuschia, Reynolds and other
stations representing the best blood CT
France.

FrAotiOn Of Time LosA
I read an interesting article the
other day on how standard time Ia
secured" said a New Orleans college
professor, but II omitted ono import
ant point which was explained 10 me
by member OF the Smithsonian stan
the last time | was In Washington.
The time observations at tho different
obseryatorles, by which the standard
Is established, are taken by noting the
exact instant at which some certain
designated star crosses line on the
object glass OF the telescope. The in
strument is pointed at the star, and
as soon as II touches the line the OBJ
server presses hutton that makes O.
mark on the slowly revolving cylinder.
The cylinder 10 divided into spaces
corresponding to minutes and seconds,
ana the mark consequently indicates
the precise fraction OF time at which
the star arrived at n given place In the
sky How that Ia checked against
other observations, takea at different
localities In exactly the same way, and
forms the basis OF a calculation by
which the chronometers OF the world
are adjusted, Ia something won't at
tempt to explain, The point had in
mind is this; The pressing of the but
ton and making the mark on the cylin-
der Is theoretically instantaneous, but
really 1t isn't. Between the instant
that the observer sees the star touch
tho line and the instant that hh fin
ger pushes the button Ia brief lapse
OF time consumed by the transit OF
the impulse from his brain to his hand.
TO the non-scentifc man II would
seem absurd TO take account of such
lnhnitesimal intervals, but In delicate
calculations they are highly import
ant. Not long ago an instrument was
built that records tho exact speed OF
brain impulse In different people. The
subject 10 told to press button 40
soon as q figure appears on q dial, and
1t takes the average person nearly half
a second,to do 30. That interval, re-
Quired by the nerves to do their tele-
graphing from the eye to the finger tip
is now taken into consideration in
making the computations for standard
time. BY falling to allow for It In the
past, tho chronometers have been in
error from Ave to ten seconds a year.
The detail Is curiously impressive, be-
cause II shows what extraordinary
palms are taken to secure absolute ac-
curacy.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

Forming asd Fixing Types OF Sheep
Prof. John A. Craig, In an address
before the Kansas state board OF agrl-
culture, said; The type that has been
characteristic Of each breed has risen
from a variety Of causes. In all In
stances tho breeders skill In selecting
and mating has been controlling fac
tor, while other influences have more
or less assisted In some instances the
function OF the animal, or the work II
is called upon TO do, has had strong
influence. This 10 evident In the In
stance OF the running horse, the trot'
ting horse and the dairy COW, where
the form or tho type has developed
from the function. In other instances
the environment has aided man In hll
work Of selection, and this is notably
true OF sheep. The adaptabllity Of
sheep for different attitudes Of land
enables US to divide them into lowland
breeds, upland or down breeds and
mountain breeds, and 1t Is connected
with the subject OF breed type, for tho
environments OF such land develop tho
type that does the best upon them.
The ,lowland breeds are large, square
and strong framed, and are heavy
producers of wool and mutton. The
down breeds arc smaller, but rounder
and more compact, with fleece, frame
and mutton OF better quality. The
mountain breeds must have more vigor
and agility than those previously men
toned to earn subsistence under
rougher conditions, so that the posses
sion OF a rugged constitution, active
disposition, with strong limbs and
muscles, are of more Importance than
the other features that are character
lstic OF other types. Man seeks to FIX
the type that he has found character
istic OF the breeds by celebrating
scales Of points representing features
OF the types desired, and toward the
production of those ideal types al
bANtuNlb DtHu lnNlI cnNibiNps
The type Of the breed having been
decided upon by all the breeders, II
should be the aim of the breeder and
the Judge to recognize 1t, for, aside
from an acknowledgment OF the
wishes Of the breeders, 1t Is point OF
direct value to do so, When n breed
has been uniformly bred to a type for
period OF twenty years or 30 the
type has become so fixed that 1t 10
uniformly transmitted. Two OF the
most powerful factors aiding the fixing
OF the type OF a breed are the breeders
seeking to produce the animal OF ideal
type as represented by the scale oil
points and the judges conforming to II
In the show ring, The result Is OF
value to the breeding interests, as II
assists in making the breed prepotenl
or able to transmit Its characteristics
with a greater degree Of certainty

Improved Ranch Horses.

The class OF western horses that are
now being put on the market is very
different from those close descendants
Of the cayuse and bronco mares which
were scattered over the country few
years ago at low prices, says Texas
Stock and Farm Journal. These half
breeds were as unreliable as their wild
dams, and made life burden to their
owners, whenever they did not kill
their owners outright, Inc modern
western horse does not differ from the
farm-raised colt except in the training
which his life on the plains has given
him to be on the alert against danger
and to quickly avoid 1t. This habit
forces q driver to be careful, but aside
from 1t most of these horses which
are from good, well-bred mares and
finely bred horses are as kind and safe
as the average horse and have as few
vicious tricks. The ranchmen who
shipped to the west good mares and
sires several years ago, are now reap
ing their reward In quick sales and
good prices, and these horses have
been numerous enough to keep prices
from going out of sight as soon as the
brisk demand began to spring up.

Goat Mutton.-That goats are killed
and sold ON the Chicago sheep market
for mutton is quite true, and the yearly
aggregate of such sales runs up into
tens Of thousands, but for the most
part these goats sold for mutton are
culls from the grade flocks OF the
northwest and southwest, many
Of them not at all calculat-
ed to reflect credit either upon
their kind, or the mutton for which
they are sold. The Angora kid, young
doe, or young wether, are equal in
flavor and delicacy of flesh to the best
lamb or young mutton, and the day
Is not distant when they will be mar
keted, killed, sold and consumed under
their own name and without the make
shift of a reprehenslble disguise. The
old wether or bill goat meat is only fit
for hogs and savages, but the flesh OF
the fat young kid or mamie turns q
morsel at for king.-Ex.

grove and picnic resort below North
Industry, to spend day. 1t Is under
stood that during the pleasures Of the
picnic Mr.. Blake, Mr.. Quinn and Miss
Alice Bour discovered a spring of appa-
rently cool and wholesome water. They
drank rather freely from the trickling
stream, and at the close of the day
started homeward with their friends.
1t was only a few days after when the
three parties who drank at the spring
became sick. Naturally their illness
was not at first attributed to the drink
ing OF the spring water, until later on
when
TYPHOID FEVER DEVELOPED,
the physicians eagerly sought for a
cause. Then it was that the incident
during the picnic was commented upon
and 1t was considered quite proba BILE
that the cause was there. OF the three
patients. one of them Isl gone and two
others are in very serious condition
from the fever.
