We notice that one poultry writer
is advocating giving the old hen full
liberty to drag her chicks anywhere.
He says that if this be done the chicks
will be harder, more fully developed
and in every way better birds when
mature than those reared to the wean-
ing age with the hen confined to a
coop and few square rods of ground,
But we would suggest that the trouble
comes in the fact that there are like
ly to be very few birds to mature. By
the time the old hen has dragged the
lives out of some of them, and cats
and rats have had their pick, to say
nothing of the bout with the cape
worm, the number will be few. Nor
are we convinced that it is healthful
for a chick to be over exercised or that
it is rendered hardy by being soaked
with the dew or chilled by cold winds
When hen drags her chicks to re-
mote corner of the farm the mink or
cat finds it a good chance to gather in
one of the stragglers now and then.

New Orchards In Iowa.

To the Farmers Review: A local
nurseryman informed me that he
never before had so good trade. He
had some twelve acres of nursery
and he sold about all that was tit, to
go out, and all that he received from
wholesale nurseries. This is certain
ly good news. Many of the old or
chards are about dead. They were
never cared for as they should have
been, never MANFRED, simply starved
to death. This was the result Of ig-
norance. They never dreamed that
a tree needs food. They expected a
tree to go on bearing indefinitely with
out a pound of manure. They are
about dead now and men are in haste
to set out new orchards. These will
be cared for. There is no better ap-
pie country in the states than south
ern Iowa. All that is necessary to-
raise Eden apples is to exercise the
same care with the trees that we do
with our breeds of fine horses, cattle
and swine.-E. B. Heaton.

Heath and Condition of Horses.


A recent government report treats
of the health and condition of horses
for the year ending March 81. 1t sum-
marizes as follows:
Losses.-Of the 10 states each esti-
mated to contain 1000 horses or up
ward, all except Missouri report losses
from disease somewhat less than those
of the preceding year. The year 1885,
SO, however, was characterized by 4
rate of mortality slightly higher than
that of any previous year for which
figures are available, and accordingly
a comparison Of the year now under
discussion with the ten-year average
is less satisfactory. Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas
report rate of mortality below their
respective ten-year averages. in the
case of Pennsylvania and Missouri the
percentages of loss agree exactly with
the ten-year averages, while in New
York and Illinois they are slightly
above such averages.
Condition.-The condition Of health
fulness and flesh on April l was very
high, being only per cent below the
normal, as compared with Sc per cent
below the normal on April of the
preceding year.

Destroying Our Marke. Abroad.

The secretary of agriculture of Mis-
souri,, in his last report, says:
Adulterated Cheese.-One of the worst
features of this business is that imi-
tation butter compounds and adulter-
ated cheese are destroying the market
for United States dairy products
abroad. To illustrate, in 1880, the
United States sold in Great Britain one
hundred and twenty-eight million
pounds of cheese. while Canada only
sold forty million pounds or less than
one-third what the United States did.
In 1898 this condition of the trade was
reversed, the United States selling to
Great Britain only forty-six million
pounds, while Canada sold one hun
dred and fifty million pounds, or more
than three times the amount sold by
the United States, condition that
may be attributed almost solely to the
fact that in this country the laws per-
mitted manufacturers to brand skim
milk and filled cheese as full cream ar
ticles, and as such it was exported and
sold.
Adulterated Butter-The same in
crease in the sales of Canadian butter
and decrease in the sales of butter from
the United States may be noted since
butterine has been manufactured and
placed upon the market in imitation
OF and sold as creamery butter. In
dicating this decrease in 1898, New
York exported to Great Britain only
sixty-five thousand packages, while
Montreal exported two hundred and
twenty-seven thousand packages, and
in 1899, with Secretary Wilson, of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, making every possible effort to
extend the sale of dairy products in
Europe, New York exported one hun
dred and three thousand packages,
while Montreal exported four hundred
and twenty-five thousand packages, or
more than four times as much as this
great country with it's largely extended
area, its abundance of all kinds of
stock, food and grasses and it's supe-
rlor climatic conditions. The pure
food products of this country are equal
in character to those of Canada. The
demand should be as good and the
supply far in excess. The unfavorable
condition of our butter trade with Eu-
rope may be attributed to the fact that
we have offered for sale in that coun-
try fraudulent imitation articles, that
we have lost the confidence of con-
sumers and brought into question the
purity of our product

In conclusion, then, 1t may be said
that rations in which from 40 to so
per cent of the protein was supplied by
animal food gave more economical re-
suits than rations drawing most Of
their protein from vegetable sources.
The chief advantage was in the produc-
ton of rapid growth, although the cost
of production is also in its favor.
While inferior palatibility may have
had something to do with the marked
results, especially with the ducks, the
whole bearing of these experiments
and others not yet reported seems to in
dictate that the superiority of the one
ration is due to the presence in it Of
animal food

The method of making this natural
starter is simple. There may be vari-
Gus plans, but one which is satisfac-
tory enough is as follows: A perfectly
healthy cow from a clearly, we'll kept
dairy is selected After the under parts
Of the body are carefully brushed, and
the udder moistened with a damp
cloth, the first few jets of milk from
the teats are rejected, and the rest is
drawn into sterilized vessel. This is
then covered at once and taken to the
dairy, heated to proper temperature
and passed through a separator. The
skim milk thus obtained is again COL
lected in steriliZed vessel, carefully
covered, and set aside to sour. After
1t has become properly soured it serves
as a starter for the cream ripening
process. OF course there are many
other methods of obtaining a natural
starter, for natural starter is moth
ing more than lot of skim milk or
whole milk obtained under specially
Clearly conditions from an exception
ally good dairy and allowed to sour
naturally.
OF course it is impossible for the
dairyman to be sure that such
natural starter contains the species of
bacteria that is wanted for ripening.
Sometimes 1t may contain proper
species and at other times an unfavor-
able species. Logically then the use
of natural starter is very unsatis-
factory. But our dairymen are not so
much interested in the logic of the
method as they are in practical re-
suits, and care not whether the process
they use is theoretically the best, pro-
vided it gives them a good quality of
butter. There can be no question that
the use of natural starters thus made
has been a very decided advantage to
the butter maker as it has been
adopted in the last ten years.

Firm Fences.-There is nothing In
relation to poultry keeping that gives
more satisfaction than a well-built
poultry fence of wire on posts that are
so deeply set they will never incline in
any direction. 1t pays to have a firm
fence. 1t will save great deal of
vexation. The posts should be SO deep
ly set that they will stand wind and
rain, frost and soil moisture. This can
be obtained only by having the holes
dug SO deep that the bottoms OF the
posts will be below the region subject
to heaving In the spring, which does
not necessarily mean below the region
OF frost.

A California milk inspector has this
to say: Unclean diaries have been so
widely advertised in official reports
and newspaper articles that many citi-
zens think well-conducted diaries do
not exist, or, If they do, no way is
known by which one can be assured
OF getting their milk. And many per-
sons will go without milk whenever
possible rather than run the risk of
getting the dangerously impure arti-
Gle which they are convinced is very
common. Thus the scarce articles have
the effect of reducing the production
and use of impure milk; but they have
the same effect also on the use of pure
milk. 1t is unfortunate that the ex-
cellent features of the best diaries are
not given as much prominence as are
the defective features of the worst, so
as to show those interested that good
milk is on the market as we'll as bad.
A practicable plan by which this could
be accomplished could easily be fol-
lowed, greatly to the benefit af all con-
cerned. Although only few dairies
were visited, it was readily seen that
at least part of the milk going into
Sacramento and San Francisco Is pro-
duced with great care and can be re-
lied upon as safe and wholesome
food. AS already suggested, IL these
first-class diaries and others like them
could be brought to the attention of
the public as forcibly as the worst
types, a decided step would be taken
toward the improvement of the general
atty supply.
