The Modem Dairy man.

In an address given before the State
Dairymen's Association at New Haven,
Governor Hoard dealt with the modern
aspects of dairying as compared with
those which had governed the industry
in bygone days. In the course OF MS
remarks, he said:
The last third Of century marks an
epoch in the progress Of the dairy IN
dustry to a certain extent in all parts
of the world. There is something pc
culiar about this industry in its erect
on the men who follow it intelligently.
They stand foremost in the ranks OF
agriculture in the point of intellectual
conquest. Dairying calls for the best
Judgment and work in the tillage OF
the soil and the growing Of grass ana
grain. 1t calls for special knowledge
in the care and harvesting Of those
crops. in order that they may irpart
their highest food value.
1t calls for a special study in the
principles and art Of animal feeding
so that the cow may be given ratlon
fitted to the functional work she has
in hand and our highest proht. IL calls
for a special judgment in the matter
of constructing barns, stables. silos,
yards, and drinking places, for we are
dealing with a high order OF amman
life. Herein is valuable also knowl-
edge of farm sanitation-what its prin-
ciples. limitations, and results are. we
are responsible for the crowding TO-
gether of large numbers OF cows, ana
we must hold ourselves responsible to
them. and the public whose food they
yield, for as perfect and healthtul
mode of life as it is possible for US 10
provide for them. 1t calls for knowl-
edge of the laws Of reproduction
whereby we may make use of the forces
of nature to the manifest increase OF
dairy power in our cattle. We have no
right to sit still or act indifferently Oh
this question. The cows OF state
are what its dairy farmers have maze
No other branch Of agriculture Is as
socialistic as dairying, for 1t is or
ganized very greatly all over the lano
into cheese factories and creamerles
Here, again. is a special endowment o.
sound sense required. The moment sucf
organization takes place, the farmer
finds himself no longer a producer bu
manufacturer. He must learn nov
to cooperate with his fellow farmers
according to the laws of business. III
must study the finer economics OF man

presorvatives Not Needed.

AT the Vermont State Dairy conven-
ton held recently Maj. Henry e. AL
word. chief OF the Dairy division of the
department Of agriculture, stated that
the experiment of shipping butter 70
foreign markets had begot the conf
dence of foreign merchants, by showing
them that Americans could furnish an
excellent quality of butter and place
II on their markets in as good condl-
ton as other countries. Partly as the
result of the departments work. there
was more demand for American butter
and cheese abroad than our merchants
could sunply. He did not believe IN
the use of preservatives in butter.
Great Britain was the best market 10
cultivate, and no preservatlve was
needed TO send butter there. Sweden
and Denmark boasted that they could
send butter there without preserVa-
tives. Even butter color was not neeu-

maze of corrugated, galvanized iron

WEALTH OF THE CONGO.
Ivory and Rubber the CHIEF Sources oil
Its Prosperity.

Ivory and Rubber the CHIEF Sources OF
Its Prosperity.
Ivory and rubber are the sources of
wealth of the Congo Free State, in Al
RIGA. the connection of which to Bel
GUM is now engaging the attention OF
the legislators of that kingdom. At
present the Congo Free State is the
private possession of King Leopold ii.
OF the 700 tons of ivory annually
produced in the world 600 are derived
from Africa. Half a century ago ali
the African ivory came from Egypt
and Zanzibar. but to-day the Congo
Free State holds the first rank among
ivory producing countries. In 1879 no
less than $40 tons were exported to
Europe, this being more than half the
total African output. The Antwerp
ivory market, which was started on
July 81, 1888, with a sale OF 10 tons
surpassed the Liverpool market IN
1890 and the London market In 1880.
The Antwerp ivory market is to-day
by far the most important in the
world.
Herds of wild elephants are still ex-
tremely numerous in the immense vir-
! gin forests of central Congo. The ma
tives hunt these animals more on ac'
count of their flesh, which the negroe:
greatly appreciate, than for theii
tusks. But only small proportion O
the ivory annually exported from th'
C,onqo is taken directly from newly
killed animals. Thus, during 1899, o
the 299S5 tusks sold on the ANTWERP
market, $3.50 alone came from freshly
killed animals, the remaining 2l'44
tusks being what the natives tern
dead ivory" For centuries the ap
origines have been collecting elephan
tusks. which they considered as hav
ing little intrinsic value, but useful a
articles of exchange.

LONG LOST SECRETS.
Anclents Possessed Knowledge Modern
Science Cannot supply.

Science Cannot supply.
Although marvellous strides have
been made in almost every branch of
knowledge in the last 100 years, secrets
known to scientists, mechanics and
others long before the beginning OF
that period have been lost. For in
stance, thousands of years ago the
Egyptians used to embalm the bodies
of their dead Kings and nobility so
perfectly that the bodies are in Won
derful preservation to-day. The valu-
able secret is lost, and modern science
cannot recover the lost knowledge.
We can, of course, and we do embalm
bodies. but only for temporary preser-
walton, and, comparatively speaking,
in a most unsatisfactory manner.
Bodies which are embalmed nowadays
will not be preserved for more than
few years at most; very many OF the
bodies Tie Egyptians chained before
the birth of Christ are still so well
preserved that the lines of their faces
are as clearly marked to-day as wheA
J they were first embalmed.
People do not know how to put stones
and bricks together as the anclents
did. and consequently the buildings
raised nowadays are mere temporary
structures and will be in ruins when
the ancient buildings Of Greece and
Italy.Pwhich were built thousands OF
years ago, are in as good condition as
they are now. The secret is not In the
bricks or the stohe, but in the cement
and mortar, neither of which essentials
can the moderns make as the anclentS
made them.
In modern buildings the cement ano
mortar are the weakest points; II
buildings which the Romans ant
Greeks raised thousands of years age
, the cement and mortar are the strong
! est points and hold good While th'
very stones they bind crumble ava!
with age. We cannot, with all on

without doubt prevention is the fac
tor that should receive the most at
tention. When the chicks show the
symptoms indicated, have all the young
chicks put at once on board floors
where they cannot get at the dirt. The
angle worm and dirt in which the
angle worm is found are the sources
of contaglon. After the chicks are ma.
ture they are not injured by the gapes,

Poultry BrIers.

The proper feeding of birds has
much to do with their health. The ra-
ton of the fowls should always De
balanced one. Fowls fed an unbalanced
ration continually are certain to be-
come weak. If it is unbalanced on the
side of too much carbohydrates they
become soft and lazy and the bones
lack strength, as we'll as do the
muscles. If the food Is overbalanced
on the side of too much heterogeneous
matter, various troubles follow, and IN
such condition the birds are said 10
fall easy victims to rheumatism, which
in turn is made possible by too great
a supply of acid formed from the nj
trogenous food products. 1t pays
man to study the ration question II ne
wishes to avoid many troubles with
fowls.
The annual death rate among fowls
is altogether too large, and this is es-
pecially true of the chicks during the
first year. We have observed that a
very large proportion OF the losses
are preyentable losses-losses due TO
lack of care and proper feed. Every
experienced poultryman can look PACK
and see how freely and recklessly ne

his chicks will all come to maturity

them barrels for shelter at night
After a little some of them began Z
disappear, and set watch to discoVe

in being found out, and proved TO D.
a neighbor's cat, which was very ex
pert in entangling the chicks in tn
tall grass and overpowering them. s
we shu. the chicks up in tight coop
night and day. One night there cam
