Poultry Briefs.

Without doubt food havors eggs, but
the general market has eve found
it out. With the market a fresh egg
is a fresh egg and its freshness is Its
only standard Of relative value. Yet
the egg from good wholesome food is
far superior to the egg made of all
kinds Of swill. When the public
awakes to this fact there will be an
improvement in the quality Of eggs,
and not before that time.
The enthusiastic poultryman has 1t
in his power to produce a strain of
egg-producers in almost any breed.
Some Of the breeds that have the best
reputation for egg production. such
as tie Leghorns, Hamburgs and Mi
norcas, have never been as popular
with the great mass Of farmers as
have the Plymouth Rocks. Wyandottes
and Brahmas. In these latter breeds
are now found strains Of egg producers
that are almost the equals Of some of
the d%istinctively reproducing breeds.
But this has been brought about only
by experimentation, and with poultry
the development Of strains is slow and
rather difficult, owing to the fact that
1t is small business recording the work
of each individual hen for a year or
two.
A practical poultry keeper says of
the Toulouse geese. that they need lit
tie water except for drinking. AS for
ayers they are excellent and make a
good living in the wheat stubble. Some
object to them in the pastures in early
spring, as they feed very close and pull
up many Of the stalks Of grass by the
roots. This Of course IL detrimental
to the pasture that cannot spare any
stalks Of grass. There is q difference
Of opinion as to whether or not cattle
will Craze in pastures that have been
fed over by geese. The opinion pre-
walls to some extent but some poultry
men assert there is nothing in IL. az
they have grazed geese and cattle to-
gether for q dozen Of years. There
are few farmers that keep enough
geese to injure a pasture in this way

Of swampy and waste land that is Of

New York Butter Making.

Now YOxk Butter. Making
A communication from the Geneva
Experiment Station says:
Butter making is again coming into
great prominence as an industry In the
dairy sections Of New York. Improved
methods and increased cleanliness in
milk handling, cream ripening and
churning are making the product Of
some Of our creameries Of high quality
and great uniformity; but we still fail
to reach the standard set by Denmark.
Occasional butter faults will crop out
ever in high grade butter factories and
the product Of the state as a whole Is
far from uniform.
One a for this difference be-
tween New York and Denmark lies in
the fact that the Danes make great use
Of the ~pasteurizer in their butter max
ing, New York very little USE. This is
perhaps due to the fact that early
trials Of the continuous pasteurizing
machines in America were not favor
able to their use.
Experiments made ct Geneva in 1899,
however, seem to indicate that the
fault did not lie in the machines. but
in the low temperature used in mani
pulating them; for. at Geneva, using
temperatures Of 176 degrees ,. and
1856 degrees F.. the germ-destroying
power Of the machine was most excel
lent. The numbers Of bacteria present
were reduced from hundreds Of thou
sands or y millions to two or three

Prof. H. .Garman. Entomologist and
Botanist Of the Kentucky Experiment
Station, in bulletin 20 Of that station,
says:
Young chickens are very much

but is not uniform in its occurrence,
being destructive on one farm, while
farms adjoining are free from 1t. On

1t was to escape the religious in

them out for persecution that the lit
tie band of French Protestants Of
which we have made mention expa-

could there have home that would be

up arms and joined in contest which

had come political as we'll as religious
liberty. And as with them, 30 with
their descendants-they have never
been wanting in the discharge of
patriotic duty. They furnished a
company for service in the war Of
1912; they contributed q volunteer
company in 1885 for the war with the
Seminoles in Florida; they were rep

they partook Of the sentiment and
shared the fortunes, it is needless to
say, Of those who stood for the Con-

The writer Of this article once had
the acquaintance Of gentleman who
had known the Bordeaux people from
hia boyhood.- Upon his head the
years in their flight had left their sill
yer. He he'd never married, and it
was in touching language that he re-
vesled in the confidence Of friend
ship the secret Of his heart. He said
(and these are his exact worde): "I
once loved o French girl. She was o
Huguenot, fair and beautiful as ever
trod upon flower. It was my first
love. The best affection of my heart
was hers; but, in an hour when I was
little thinking, the death angel came
and carried her sweet spirit to the
celestial city. Her face was beauti-
ful, its features regular, calm and
chin; and her eye, oh! how fascinat-
ing! Those dark eyes, lustrous with
loves meaning, haunt mo to this hour
and will continue to haunt me to my
grave. She is my guardian spirit.
She walks with me; she is with me in
every place day and night. That
earthly sweet smile which was hers
l see it still. Oh! what bitter, burn
ing tears come to my eyes while

"Her body sleeps not far from the
waters of the lovely and beautiful
Savannah, but her kindly spirit is
following me, I know; and when
reach the spirit land she will be there
to welcome me. She was Huguenot.
