farmers in Delaware who cut the cow

Hwy to Avoid pimnles.

Keeping the body scrupulously clean
is one of the best remedies in the
world for such complexion disorders as

of the face being the most sensitive OF

they will throw off the worthless Sc

progress at double the pace If the body

FIFTEEN-MONTH-OLD GRAPEVINE.
1900, were raised from eyes put In
three inch pots early IN February,
1899. These were placed on the heating
pipes In newly constructed grapery
where they soon formed roots. When
the plants were about six inches high,
they We're shifted into boxes 10 inches
square and u inches deep and kept
growing vigorously, the soil being a
mixture of fibrous loan, old plaster
and little bone dust. As soon as they
had grown to the length of ten feet the
ends were stopped; after stopping, a few
laterals were allowed to grow several
points around the top, laterals lower
down being pinehed at the first leaf.
About the middle Of August, the
wood being hard and brown, the vines
were placed out of doors in the full
sun to finish ripenlng, the tops being
tied up to a wire trellis; coal ashes
were put around the boxes. to protect
them from the scorching rays of the
sun.
Early in October the vines were
pruned and the boxes turned down on
their sides and SO remained until the
first week in November, when they
were brought into the forcing house
and started into active growth. About
two inches of the earth was removed
from the top of each box and the space
filed In with compost Of fibrous loan
and bone dust. The plants were placed
in a row, on q bench built over the
front pipes in lean to house, and the
vines trained up under the roof They
were syringed daily with tepid water
and broke freely, showing fruit on ev-

QUEEN OF MISSOURI.

The Missouri hen is larger thing

She is larger than all the possible In

that even the farmers who raise the

And the hen is going to do better
than that in Missouri. All my informa-
ton shows that the industry Of raising
poultry has had remarkable boom
within the last two years and that the
percentage of increase for next year
will be proportionate.
In 1899 the figures Of the railroad

BONE AND ANIMAL MEAL.
boyer, After Experimenting ON Meat
Feed, Tells the Result.


Feed, Tells the Result.
Time and again we have referred to
the value of meat in some form or 9TH
er to poultry, especially when they are
confined to runs. Fowls in free range,
especially in an orchard range, gather
vast amount of bugs, worms and in
sects generally that furnishes them
with all the animal food they need.
But not more than five fiocks out of a
hundred are able to enjoy the luxury of
large orchard. Hence, being depriv-
ed of natural supply CT this much
needed food. 1t is necessary for every
poultry keeper to look we'll Into the
question and secure the very best that
can be had.
The green bone cutter has had much
to do in solving this important question,
but this valuable invention has also
had its battles to fight. Injudicious
feeding of green bone has developed
worms In the fowls that have caus-
ed considerable loss. 1t likewise has
caused irritableness of stock. causing
much fighting. and in young stock it
has caused too rapid growth of comb
and wattles Understand the fault lies
not In the bone cutter nor in the green
bone so much as IN the wholesale man
ner in which 1t is fed. A fresh meat
diet should be fed cautiously, not more
than an ounce for each hen and not
oftener than every other day.
The difficulty in securing the green
bone in small towns and the labor at
taehed to running some of the bone
cutters have also been cause for oppo-
sition.
These facts. so fully ventilated in the
press. gave vent to so considerable adj
vertising to vendors of meat scraps
that it was not long before the woods
were full of the best article"
During the past four years we have
been doing considerable experimenting
on A Few Hens experimental farm with
prepared meats of all kinds as well as
with green cut bone. We have not lost
one bit of our faith in green bone when
1t can be had fresh and there is sufi-
cient time at hand to properly cut It,
but as our experiments are Intended
for the benefit of our readers scattered
all over the country we made a series
of tests to ascertain just what article
would be the safest substitute and
which could be generally recommend
ed.
We wish here to state that after we
stopped using green cut bone In order
to secure a substitute we noticed that
our egg yield for the same number and
variety of fowls for the same season Of
the year and under like conditions 9TH
erwise was not so good as when we fed
the green bone. But after giving the
animal meal a test we noticed that
gradually the egg yield increased, so
much so that there is neck to neck
race between the green bone fed hens
and the animal meal fed hens
So after years almost exclusive
trial of animal meal we feel safe in
saying that the very best substitute
for green cut bone is animal meal. We
would advise where 1t is possible to
feed both. say green bone twice week
as separate noon feed and animal
meal In the mash every morning ex-
eeptIng on the days when the green
bone is fed. In this way there is va
riety and a possible case Of double
benefit-A Few Hens.

BEST cows FOR BUTTER.

Experiments Favor the Spare and
Angular Form.
The cost of production of butter from
cows spare and angular and cows car
rying considerable flesh = In other
words, dual purpose cows-is greatly
in favor Of the former, says The Amer
lean Agriculturist Five years of care
full investigation of this subject by the
Minnesota experiment station shows
that In every instance the COW that
carries the least flesh charges the least
for butter and just in so far as one
COW was a little smoother and plumper
than the other would her butter prod
uct cost more than the other 1t should
be borne in mind that the results are
from accumulated testimony and show
that not only for a day, week or a
month, but during her entire lifetime,
the spare COW is better.
Taking the average between the two
types of cows In which grade Short
horns represent the dual purpose cows,
six of these produced an average of
SOFT pounds of milk per year, which
gave 229 pounds of butter at cost of
1888 cents per pound. The total aver
age cost of feed was $3064 per head
and the net return $10.37. The spare
and angular COW represented by six
Guernseys and Jerseys and a grade
Holstein produced an average of 6,TO0
pounds of milk, which made 446
pounds of butter at a cost of S.43 cents
per pound. The average cost of food
consumed was $37.6O per head and the
net return $3S11.
The most profitable dual purpose cow
produced PA pounds of butter at cost
of 1914 cents per pound and profit of
$3.50. The least profitable gave 1876
pounds of butter at q cost of 14.76
cents per pound and netted $5.S1 for
the year. The greatest amount of but
ter was produced by grade Holstein
viz, $50 pounds from II, 726 pounds of
milk and at a cost of 1861 cents per
pound. She ate $55.23 worth of food,
or nearly twice as much as the dual
purpose cows, but gave net return of
$3S.26. The most profitable COW of the
lot was Jersey which consumed but
$50 worth Of feed and produced 1914
pounds Of milk from which was made
493 pounds of butter at a cost Of Cos
cents per pound. giving net return
for the year of $54.45. She was close
~ followed by Jersey Guernsey
crossbred that produced 512 pounds of
butter from S,707 pounds of milk at
cost of CSC cents per pound She con-
sumed $35.15 worth of feed and re-
turned $53.31 profit.

when there is a hereditary predis-
position to early grayness and lack of
natural oils in the hair, conscientious
and regular application of water fos-
tiers this weakness. The tendency of
dry hair is to grow coarse, and there
fore constant use of artificial oils is
necessary after every washing. The
thing TO do for stiff, hard hair that Is
going gray is constant brushing. In
the fall of the year, when the proper
shedding of old hair can be expected
and again in the early spring, when the
young growth comes on, soft, light

This is the invention Of a famous
French coiffeur. The brush is made OF
fine, flexible, selected bristles, so sci

vex instead of fat brushing surface is
presented, and by this arrangement the
bristIes run through the hair without
tearing or breaking the strands as they
go, and yet they carry away all the
loose lying dandruff on the surface OF
the scalp and all the dust that hangs in
the tangled mesh of locks.

The Gardening World. What is proved

them back, slightly rest them for a

plants are to be grown on again into
