Guineas.

Two varieties of this fowl have been
white and the pearl or speckled guinea,
writes A. G. Mcpherson in Ohio
Farmer The last named variety is
wild and shy and the flesh dark col
ored, but possessing a ,gamey flavor
much relished by some. The first
named are handsome, fine table fowls
and quite domestic in their nature, and
if reared by hen will readily mingle
with other poultry. They do not pos
sess the quarrelsome disposition of the
speckled variety. AS foragers the
guinea rivals the turkey, and on this
account alone will repay double for
amount of grain consumed, which is
small as compared with the chicken or
turkey. It is customary with many
owners to turn them adr1ft and let
them paddle their own canoe" after
being fully fedged. The lay begins
generally in April and continues until
the cold weather sets in. They lay
large number of eggs during the sea-
son. In rearing, the young guinea is
very tender and requires care, but after
their coat of down is replaced by one
of feathers, they become hardy and re-
quire but little care. The food for
young guineas should consist of mois-
tened bread crumbs, table scraps,
minced onion tops, etc. The eggs OF
the guinea are of smaller size than
the common hen egg, but are very rich,
and compensate in quality for small
ness. The white guinea will lay in the
nest of the common hen, while the
pearl-colored hen wanders away to
some lone and almost inaccessible spot
to deposit her eggs. The guinea Is
quick to detect danger or an enemy
and the appearance of a hawk, crow
or weasel, calls forth shrill, discord-
ant cries which put the enemy to flight
before the owner can appear on the
scene. In market there is no discount
CT the price of the eggs of the guinea
provided there be a proportion Of hens

white and pearl-colored varieties pro-
duces a good, general purpose fowl,
fine flesh, etc., beside being of large,
size than either variety.

American Meat in Scotland

The public health act of 1897 appl1c-
able to Scotland contains provisions
in regard to meat inspection which are
more severe than the provisions of the
public health act of 1875 applicable to
England The Scottish law not only
gives the local sanitary officer full con-
troll over slaughterhouses, but also en-
powers inspectors to enter. premises,
within the district of the local author
ity at any time, search any cart or We
hicle or any barrow, basket, bag, or
parcel, and examine any ANIMAL alive
or dead, or article intended for human
food. If it appears to him 20 be unfit
for human food, he may take it away
to have it dealt with by justice. The
justice may condemn it and order it
to be destroyed, and impose a penalty
on the person to whom the condemned
article belonged or in whose possession
or on whose premises it was found
The department of sanitary and mar
ket inspection in Edinburgh was con-
stituted on its present basis, under the
public health act of 1897, in May, 1898.
During the past year. not only have
-, the slaughterhouses been under careful,
supervision, but inspectors have paid
more than 5000 visits to the butchers
and other shops The quantity Of meat
seized or given up as unfit for human
food was. 149, 163 pounds One Canad-
ian carcass was seized. Not a pound of
American meat was condemned. En-

About the Poultry Yard.

Help the birds in their noulting. and
the probability is that you will get:
some eggs this fall and winter. Go
to the trouble of getting some meat for
them as often as is convenient. A
dve-cent pluck" from a hog will go
a good ways toward helping them bear
the extraordinary strain of manufac-
turing new feathers. -,
- ...
During this hot weather the red
mites multiply with exceeding rapid
lily, and the roosts need to be looked
after every day. If the roosts are not
connected with the sides of the hen
house the mites may be kept within
bounds by whitewashing them or
washing with kerosene. If the roosts
are movable, they may be taken out
every few days and given a washing
OF gasoline where that is being used by
the family, after which a match may
be touched to it. The flames will do
the work Of cleansing, but will not
burn long enough to destroy the roosts
unless they be made of very inflam-
uable material. ia. " ]Ss

Buying Sheep.

The farmer who enters into the
sheep industry should have more than
a superficial knowledge. of the best
points Of an animal for his purpose,
says Breeder and Farmer. If the in
crease is to be raised for the carcass
market, the breeding stock must be
selected with the eye of the butcher
to considerable degree. The valu-
able portion of the carcass are the
Joins and: the legs, SO it is evident
that the development of the back and
legs is the first thing to be consider
ed. The animal must be SO consti-
tuted that these portions can be
brought up to a marketable value in

handling animals. will know: how to
judge these features and they cannot
be intelligently described. If the wool
market is to be sought the stock
bought for breeding should be thor
oughly examined on the shoulders,

y Twenty-Five varieties were tested,
the average yield being 22.o2 bushels.
There was an average difference OF 3.02
bushels between the smooth and beard
ed varieties in favor Of the smooth.
About one-fourth of the grain was
winter killed, which accounts for the
small average yield, it being only about
two-thirds of our usual crop. The
average yield of straw was 2,450
pounds and the average weight per
bushel 62.04 pounds. Turkish Red was
the poorest variety, yielding 1887
bushels of grain and 1880 pounds OF
straw. The yield of ten varieties that
have been tested for nine and ten years
show no tendency to run out except a
slight decrease in the yield of straw.
