here last week, being successful in every
particular. The weather was good, and a

Feed Indoors in Winter.

While it may be saving of labor and
perhaps some time to allow the fodder
to ren.ain standing In the shocks until
wanted during the winter and then haul
ing out and feeding by scattering over
the ground in a field or pasture yet there
is considerable waste of food. More
or less is wasted by standing in the field
exposed to thu storm and sun. There is
wsste in leeding upon the ground. the
stock tramping over it aud not eating it
There is loss from the stock being ex-
posed to cold and storm as is more or
less necessary when the feeding is done
in the field rather than in the feed lots
To more or less extent food is practi-
cally wasted when fed to stock and no
gain either in growth or weight secured
aud yet it is very difficult TO secure any
thing like profitable gain by feeding
stock in an open Geld by scattering the
food upon the ground during the winter.
! When animals are exposed to cold and
storms it requires too much food to main
tam animal heat to make the feeding
prohtable. The better plan is to shelter
comfortably, even il it does entail more

Ice in the Dairy.

The ice harvest is not far distant, and
every dairyman should make an effort to
provide an abundant supply for next
summers use. There are few things
that are we'll settled in modern dairy
practice. and the Importance Of being
able to control temperature is one of
them. Cold spring water or water from
deep, cold we'll is good, but all cannot
have it. and even when they have it does
not put temperature within ones con
troll SO completely or With So Ga5 labor
as ice will do. Those who have put up
ice for dairy us' do not need the remind
or $50 5000 sntage of having it during
ys'e.n .a ss sSason has been learned by ex-
perience, but those who have hitherto
done without it should study the subject
and see whether their circumstances will
not permit them to make change this
season.
In putting up ice one should make it
a point to get it clean. Toe that is taken
from shallow pond that is full Of de-
caying vegetable matter is better than
none, but if it is all that can be obtained
it should be put up with clear under
standing that it is not to be used in con-
tact with milk or dairy products. There
is common belief that freezing puri6es
bad water and makes the ice from it
clear. This may be to some extent true,
but it is not true enough to warrant one
in using that kind Of ice in actual Oou-
tact with food and especially with milk
and its products which take on odors SO
easily. Ice should not be put into milk
or cream unless one is absolutely sure
thas it is strictly clean. 1t is better to
take thin ice from clear water having
current than it is to store thicker blocks
from shallow ponds, without current,
that are we'll filed with decaying vegeta-
bic matter. II possible one should try
to secure supply from water that he
would not hesitate to drink, but failing
in that use it only for cooling the water
in which cans are set tx.

Save the Feathers.

Farmers and shippers used to throw
away their feathers. Now the feather
business has grown to one Of gigantic
proportions. 1t is a well-known fact
that large numbers Of poultry are i'm
ported each year, but it is not SO we'll
known that feathers are also imported.
1t is nevertheless true. Feathers are
imported into this country from almost
every civilized country in the world,
different kinds coming from different
countries. China leads in the cheap
grades of feathers and sends moro
pounds than any other country, which
are mostly duck feathers. There is one
thing about these feathers that is not
very pleasing to the importer, which is
the fact that nearly two-ffths of the
stock is dirt, which at 8 cents per pound
doubtless makes the Celestial feel that
he is fooling the Yankee. He fails to
realize that the price of his product is
regulated according to the condition of
the article, and if he we're to send a
cleaner article and in better condition
he would get better price. The better
grades of feathers come from Germany,
Austria and Russia, ard are goose feath-
ers. Feathers come from the faraway
and almost deserted Palestine, from the
North Sea, Norway and Siberia, From
these countries we get what is known as
Elder down, which is unlike anything
else in the down line. 1t does not sepa-
rate like the ordinary down, but sticks
together like nettles, and q pound o. it
is as large rs a busbel measure. 1t is
the product Of the wild Elder duck, and
in color is brownish gray. The price
ranges from SO to 81. so per pound, aud
the demand is always equal to the supply
1t is contrary to law to kill these ducks,
and the down has to be obtained in q
peculiar manner. They line their nests
with the down on the steep rocks and
ice of the countries named, and the
feathers are obtained from their nests.
The nests can be robbed only twice a
year, as it is said q pair Of ducks can
only produce enough down to line their
nests three times year. II is used for
expensive quilts almost exclusively.
Chicken feathers are growing in de-
mand. and especially is this true of dry
picked. While duck feathers would sell
for as much as goore feathers if it we're
not for the fac. snat they have an odor
= thas-it Is impossible to entirely remove
Their filing capacity is equal to goose
feathers. With chicken feathers the
color makes but little difference, but the
black ones are the least desirable.
Special machinery is made for clean
ing feathers, and the place where they
are cleaned is called feather foundry.
In this foundry" the feathers are
steamed, blown, quilted, mixed, sorted,
and made into pillows and beds ready
for use.-Kansas City Packer.
