This is the time of year to purchase
stock for the breeding pens. The
pi Ices at this time are more reasonable
than at any other season OF the year.
The men that have a goodly lot of
birds on hand are anxious to realize
on them and must face a good deal of
competition from other fanciers. This
reduces the price
There is little danger OF cleaning out
poultry houses too often. We notice
that writer in an exchange says that
this cleaning out a poultry house every
day Is all nonsense. He may be right.
but the fellows that clean out the poul-
try house every day are merely erring
on virtues side, and it is well to let
them alone. The great difficulty with
most poultry houses is that they are
not cleaned out often enough. The
fowls have to suffer greatly during the
warm nights of winter, when ammo
MIA is rising from the mass OF fer
menting droppings.
The number of poultry shows being
held this year in different parts of the
country is said to be greater than usual
which fact speaks much for the con-
dition Of the poultry industry. These
shows are bound to have a very salu-
tary influence on the development OF
the poultry industry, especially as to
the raising of the standard of breeding
among farmers.
A California paper publishes a COM
munication from a reader who thinks
he has discovered a new poultry pest,
which he describes as something like
a bed bug" 1t is not only like the bed
bug, but is the bed bug, for this house.
hold pest is also a poultry pest. 1t is
about as difficult to exterminate them
as 1t is the red mite, but can be accom-
plished with heroic measures.
A contemporary says that the morn
ing feed should be warm and should
be fed as early as possible. There are
various practices in the feeding OF soft
feeds, and all equally profitable. While
1t is good practice to give the warm
mash in the morning, especially in
cold weather, we do not see any great
advantage on the feeding OF the soft
food at other times during the day.
The real good is to relieve the over
worked digestive organs.
We sometimes see strange advice
given in poultry journals, and here is
a sample: Table or kitchen scraps. as
fed, usually do more harm than good.
for they are made up OF mouldy bread.
cake and pie, scraps Of salt meat, and
scraps Of pure fat. 1t is safe rule not
to feed anything from the kitchen to
poultry that is unfit for human con-
sumption. There is no profit in it. 1t
is cheaper to burn or bury such stuff
than to feed ii" Then what becomes
OF the saying that the French nation
could live off what the American ma
ton wastes? Small fiocks of poultry
are valuable for the very reason that
they eat the scraps from the table,
which would otherwise be wasted. Meat
that is too salt for human food does
not often find its way TO the hens. We
certainly could not advise the farmers
to throw away the scraps instead OF
giving them to the poultry. The varie-
ty of food that the hens get in the
table scraps goes a long way to keep
ing them in good condition.

bhHy NOTES.
DR.. s. NJ. Babcock, chemist of the
Wisconsin Agricultural College and
experiment station, Is to have a bronze
medal. This was ordered at the last
session of the legislature of Wisconsin
as token of the esteem in which the
state holds Mr.. Babcock. The regents
of the University of Wisconsin have
made Mr.. Babcock assistant director
of the experiment station and have
increased his salary $500 a year. We
believe that all farmers will be glad
at the recognition the distinguished
chemist is receiving. He invented a
test OF great value to the world and
refused to patent 1t. 1t is now almost
universally used. 1t is right that he
should be rewarded
II is surprising to note the indiffer-
ence Of some farmers TO the quality of
their cows. We might almost say that
the farmer is fatalist when it comes
to COW owning. II COW sells at GER
tain price on the market he imagines
that the COW Is worth that price and
buys her for his herd of mixers with
out fully investigating the real value
OF the animal as a mixer. II Is not
only true that half OF the cows I'm the
country are not profit makers, but II IL
also true that farmers are all the time
buying cows that have in them M
possibility of profit. How shall we in
duce farmers to get rid of the nm
profitable cows? This is one of the
great problems of dairying.
The hand separator and the small
power separator are growing in popu-
larity on the farm. and 1t is not to be
wondered at. 1t is very easy to sep
arate the fat from the milk at home
and take the cream In the buggy 10 the
factory or turn 1t over to the man that
comes after II. The skimmllk can
then be fed before 1t is sour and there
is no necessity lor heating IL to 1s5
degrees, unless the cows that pro-
duced 1t are suspected of being tuber-
eulous, This is one of the surest ways
OF checking tuberculosis, and for this
reason, II for no other, we would adj
wise the purchase Of separators wher-
ever the number OF cows Is great

CHANGING BUTCHERS.

My neighbor tells me an interesting
story about his butcher. He was a very
unsatisfactory butcher, and yet. on the
whole, he was obliging, too. Did he not
send an emissary daily to take her order'
But the head of the house froxned at

that she was not familiar with the loca-

There stood the butcher-fat. rosy,

a joint for dinner, she confided her
grievances to him. He look ed inter-

she had been imposed upon. He sawed

meat in the market. His indignation
waxed into bloodthirstiness as she told

how he had overcharged her for the
meat; how he gave her short weight;
how inferior the meat was in every RI
