In the cold climate Of central fndi~
ana one cannot rely upon pa sture to
furnish the proper amount of gucculent
feed for the hogs during the long win
ter and spring. The only CT op that
my experiments have shown adapted
to this purpose is the beet crop. writes
a contributor to National Stockman
and Farmer. For this crop one must
select rich soil, containing plenty of
humus, and be well drained with deep
tile drain.
Plow very deep and as early as pos
sible in the spring. Harrow tho ground
every few days until the latter part
of May or the first of June. This makes
a perfect seed bed, free from weeds.
About this date the temperate re will
be such that the seed will come up
very soon after planting. Drill the
seed very thickly in the row with some
good standard make of garden seed
drill that presses the fine dirt to the
seed, as the beet seed otherwise germl-
mates slowly. Let the rows be twenty
eight inches apart, that the be cts may
be cultivated with the ordinary small
cu~ltivator. When the beets are ABOUT
five or six inches high, thin to a beet
every six inches in the row. Late
planting and growing the beets thick
in the row prevent them from being
so large and woody. Some variety OF
sugar beet, or the improved long red
mangel. is preferable. The mangels
produce a much large crop, and are
much easier harvested, but are not
quite so rich in nutrients.
Late in the fall harvest the crop and
store it either in long pits or the root
cellar, for use during the winter and
spring. From twenty to sixty tons of
beets can be readily produced to each
acre so cultivated, at a cost of from so
cents to 81 per ton harvested. These
beetss are simply thrown whole and
without cooking, to the hog, and are
eaten with great relish.

Russia's official assurances that moth
ing will be done to embarrass England

gives additional details showing that
the delays in the ordinary traffic on
the Central Asian railway are not
caused, as has been officially stated,
by snowfalls, but are due to the pas
sage of Russian troops, estimated at
20, 1000, who are being concentrated in
the vicinity of Kushk. Russia is 60

The Value of the Hand Separator.

The Value of the Hand Separator.
G. M. Sherman writes to Hoards
Dairyman:
l wish to join issue with you in re-
gard to your answer to c. f. c., of
Knapp, Wis, in Dairyman of Dec. %.
The article is headed "a Hand Sepa-
rator." l own a U. S. separator and it
has been in constant use for nearly
three years, twice a day. / also have
a Babcock tester and have made re-
peated tests OF the skim milk under
varying temperature and speed, using
the double neck Gibson, bottle and
have never found to exceed O.O3 per
cent of fat lost and that only with a
speed Of As revolutions of crank per
minute. At SO revolutions it read O.O2
per cent. / have tested skim milk from
the so-called gravity separator and
found 0.60 per cent, or a loss of one
pound in seven if a COW tests AZ per
cent. At the time l purchased my sep
arator, we were milking seven COWS
and I am sure it paid for itself the first
year. We now have eleven.
AS to repairs, it has only cost a few
rubber rings and a gallon of oil each
year. 1 honestly believe six COWS and
a U. S. separator to be equal to seven
cows and no separator, and therefore
the sooner c. F. C. gets a separator the
better it will be for mis- pocket, and all
things considered I think the u. s. is
the best. / am not interested in the
sale of any separator, but for G.. F. Cts
own benefit.

The man that raises poultry should
have some way of distinguishing the
products Of the different years. Put
ting on metallic rings is one Of the
best methods. Thus, n year the rings
can be put on the right legs and the
next year on the left legs. This need
not be done till the fowls have just
about reached maturity. There will
be no danger of confounding the first
and third years, for the third year
birds will be disposed of generally by
the time the first year birds are grown.
But if it be desired to keep birds for
a number of years different colored
rings may be used. Thus for two years
use brass rings and for the next two
years use steel rings. They may also
differ in width. Again, n kind, of
rings might be used on all ages, but
the year dates might be put on them.
This, however is not so good, as it
necessitates catching the birds to as
certain their ages.
Fat Hens Bring Good Prices.-With
all the abuse that can be heaped upon
a fat hen because she does not lay
she brings more in the marke ct chan
any other kind of poultry except the
turkey, and at times the difference in
favor of the turkey is very little. AS
the consumers are willing to pay good
prices for fat hens, it is best to sell
them as soon as they cease laying, If
in a very fat condition, as the time re-
CURED to get such hens to the proper
condition for laying again may be
weeks, or even months. The best time
to sell is when you have the article the
consumer requires, and at the present
time the fat hen is in demand. -Ex.
A poultryman suggests that dressed
fowls should be a part of every poultry
show, to instruct the producers in the
methods of putting their birds on the
market in the best possible form. The
suggestion is worthy of consideration
by the managers of our poultry shows.
AS most of these are held in the win
ter, at least those that are not held
in connection with the fairs, 1t would
not be a difficult matter to send and
keep in the best of condition birds for
this purpose.

The recent appointment of a stenog-
rapher at SIS, 900 a year., as authorized
by the house committee on accounts,
recalls the fact that there are now
three s~tenographers employed by the
lower branch of congress who draw as
much money for salary as members of
the house or senate. In what other
country does a member of the highest
legislative body : and a shorthand
writer draw the same pay? 1t is ad-
mitted that while congress Is in session
these stenographers, at 500 a week,
have a great deal of work to do, but for
a portion of each year they have moth
ing to do. The committee report au-
thorizing the third high-priced stenog-
rapher says: During the present ses-
sion of congress the demand upon the
two stenographers has been greater
than usual. On many days six COM
mittees required their services. 1t is
becoming more and more the custom to
report the proceedings of committees,
as it has been found that the testimony
then taken has proved of great value in
subsequent proceedings, especially
upon questions involving %appropria-
lions of money"

following plan worked to the best adj
vantage: During most of the winter
laying season no males are allowed
with the hens which supply us with
eggs from December to April, and, as
far as possible, all such hens are kept
In separate fiocks, late layers, when
we keep them, which is not often, be-
ing kept by themselves. About six
weeks before eggs are wanted for
Matching, we try to hatch some in
March, a male that is strong, healthy
and Of good parentage (from winter
laying stock) is turned in with the
hens whose eggs are wanted for hatch
ing. BY this plan we obtain the winter
laying stock so desirable, and future
operations depend wholly upon care
and food. 1T may be set down as a
fact that the eggs of winter laying
stock will produce winter laying pull
let's and they can be obtained in no
easier, simpler way.

Religious bodies, great and small,
seem to be experiencing a baptism Of
sacred enterprise. They are mobiliz~
ing their forces, as if making ready to
enter the coming century under that
invisible Leadership which rides forth
"conquering and to conquer" There is
a notable decline of controversy, a
growing passion for unity, and an ur-
gent demand for the application Of
truth to life, or for bringing all hui
man affair into harmony with the
higher spirit. The sense of steward
ship yer the Lords goods is placing
large and willing offerings at the dis
posal Of church extension boards or

philanthropic institutions. Best of all,
perhaps, is the spread of goodwill and

The United States civil service COM
~nissioners declare in their annual re-
port that the carrier service and the
railway mail service have almost
reached the maximum point in stabili-
ty and efficiency. The force of over
fourteen thousand carriers lost last
yea only about two hundred by re-
movals, and the relative loss of the
railway mailmen was almost as small.
The statement is a portion of the basis
for the official announcement that dur
ing the last sixteen years persons ap-
pointed through the commissions ex-
aminations have suffered removal only
to the extent of less than 1 per cent a
year. The merit system is willing to
be judged by its fruits.

To Get Winter Layers.

The breeding season will be here be-
fore we know it, and if the fowls arc
being raised for egg production we
want such as will lay in late fall and
winter when eggs are high in price.
1t is not much of a problem to produce
this strain of winter layers if a little
care is taken, says National Stockman
and Farmer. The opinion is too gen.
eral that the eggs of the winter-laying
hen are not the best for early spring
Matching, the argument being that as
the egg production has been SO steady,
the eggs when needed for Matching are
not apt to turn out strong chicks.
With this idea in mind the mistake is
made in Matching chicks from the eggs
OF hens that start to lay late in the
spring, after resting all winter; the
result is a stock of late spring and
summer laying pullets, which are not
desirable.

Guarding Against Anthrax

AS a rule farmers and stock raisers
animals affected by diseases that are
either unknown to the owners of the
animals or are known to be contagi-
u or infectious. Both anthrax and
olackleg, when known or suspected to
eXlst, should be carefully handled. The
man that has charge of such animals
oul be impressed with the fact that
those diseases are transmissible to
man and may prove quickly fatal.
mere are instances on record where
post-mortem Investigations have result
ed fatally to the men that made them,
as the blood gives the disease by mere
ly coming in contact with the skin
of a human being. Not only the blood
but all parts of the ~carcasses may be
the means of conveying the disease.
This is especially true if the physical
&C 1dlt!Nn of the person exposed is not
OF the 5est.
When an animal is taken slightly
sick with a disease that is suspected
to be anthrax such an animal should
in no wise be sold for meat, as it has
been found that even cooking will not
render harmless the germs Of anthrax.
Moreover in that case the butchers
are constantly exposed. History tells
US of great life losses from eating ami
mails that had been slightly affected
by anthrax. Fol instance on the ISL
and of San Domingo an epidemic

people. A medical examination showed
that the disease was due to the eating
of animals affected with anthrax. It
is said that epidemics of this kind fire.
quently break out in Central Asia,
where horse flesh is quite a common
article of food, the diseases being
started by the eating of horse flesh
that is tainted with anthrax.
The carcass of the animal that has
died with anthrax is a hard thing to
get rid of. Burying is not sufficient 20
kill the germs and they will get TO
the surface no matter how deeply the
carcass may be buried. Moreover the
carcass of the horse is seldom buried
very deep. It is too much work to dig
o hole deep enough to thoroughly de-
stroy even an ordinary disease. But
years after the burying of a carcass
that was affected by anthrax cattlo
have died from eating the grass over
the grave. Investigations showed that
every blade of grass in that locality
contained anthrax germs. Burning is
the only method that can be depended
On, and this should be practiced Wher-
ever possible. AS a second best man
ner Of d~isposing of the carcass We
might suggest air-slacked lime, though
this is not sure of being effective due
to the fact that too little lime is gem
orally used.

About Ducks.

Ducks should not be kept too warm;
they can stand a great deal of cold and
exposure. says Country Gentleman.
They will prefer to remain out in all
the snow storms, and will seek the
house or shelter only at night. There
is one important point to be observed
in housing. Although th3y are natur-
ally water animals, they cannot stand
damp bedding. The litter must be
kept dry, otherwise they will be Grip
pied with rheumatism.
Give them, at this time of year, as
we'll as in warm weather, all the exer-
else possible. Yard them, if you will,
but let the yards be of fair size.
A good ration for breeders is half
cornmeal and half wheat bran, to
which add a liberal handful of coarse
or black builders Sand; mix all thor
oughly together with water, and feed
in rather a moist or sloppy consistency
and never dry. Three times a week
add a small portion Of soaked ground
beef scraps to this ration. Add also
boiled and finely chopped vegetables
and give whole cabbages every day.
Whole grain, like corn, is not a natural
food for ducks, although they will eat
it. Soft and moist food is more to
their fancy. When they are fed, which
should he only twice a day, fresh water
should be within easy reach, as they
will take a billful of feed and then
wash it down with water. If the water
is omitted they sometimes choke.
Breeding ducks should not be allowed
to become over fat.
