An Absurd Superstition.

A popular belief is that the sound
produced by little insect known as a
death watch portends the death of
some relative or friend. That the
noise made by this little creature re-
Dembles the ticking of watch is I'M
disputed. but that it in anywise fore
tells the dissolution of Il human being
is absurd. Observation has establish
ed the fact that these little insects in
fest decaying timber and posts, and
that the peculiar noise is caused by
them in gnawing and boring through
the rotten wood fibers in quest of food.

Feealng value of slktmmiIlz.

Carefully made tests in feeding skim
milk to stock show that five pounds of
skimmilk from the gravity system are
equal to one pound of grain. If sepa-
rator skimmilk is used, 1t requires six
pounds to equal one pound of grain
As a general rule, whey is about half
as valuable as skimmilk-that is, it re-
quires 10 to IL pounds of whey to pro-
duce as much gain as one pound of
grain. Both are exceedingly valuable
for pigs and should be fed in the best
possible condition as soon as available.
Do not allow either to become sour.

origin of the Word sterling.

The origin of the word sterling is
very curious. Among the early mint
ers of coin in northern Europe were the
dwellers of eastern Germany. They
were so skillful in their calling that
numbers of them were invited to Eng
land to manufacture the metal money
of the Kingdom. The strangers were
known as "easterlings." After q time
the word became sterling" and in
this abbreviated form it has come to
imply what is genuine in money, plas
or character

Some people have difficulty in max
ing good cottage cheese and are I'M
able to tell where the difficulty lies,
says Tennessee Farmer. Generally
when poor cheese is made the milk is
too sour or is heated to too high a tenn
perature before being made into cheese.
With milk at an ordinary degree of
sourness 1T is necessary to heat to only
lao degrees before putting into bag
and draining. The higher the milk is
heated the drier and harder the curd
will be and. we might add. the more
unpalatable.

SIKH In Throwing OF Mail Bags.

-
The busiest clerk in any crew or car
is the one who is detailed to receive
and throw off the sacks and pouches.
To lift heavy mail sack and throw it
from car moving at the rate of mile
a minute is matter of good target
shooting. Looks easy enough" COM
mented one of the veteran clerks at the
letter case, land it does seem as if
man should be able to hit station
platform without much difficulty, but
you see that station is passed and gone
in about one second. Then, the suction
of a train running at this speed is some
thing terrific, and until the knack of
throwing a pouch is learned a man is
liable to feed the wheels with a few

Salt For Fowls.

DR.. w. F. Roth, in reply to the ques-

follows: "From my experience | am
convinced that an excess of salt is in
furious and almost certain death to
chickens. They can endure, and as
much as the physical economy needs
must have, certain quality of chic
ride of sodium, but this should be fed in
imperceptible quantities. for the rule is
that the tissues gather enough sodium
supply out of the food to answer all
purposes for the uses of that mineral

BETTER MARKET POULTRY.
Straight Talk From the New York
Produce Dealers Organ.

Straight Talk From the New York
Produce Dealers Organ.
OF late years there has been gen.
eral effort to improve the poultry
raised for market purposes, farmers
having been stimulated largely by the
shippers who purchased the poultry
from them. In some cases the ship
pers have supplied farmers in their
territory with eggs or cockerels from
the favorite poultry sections, whereby
the f1ocks might be bred up to higher
standard. This improvement, however,
has been confined to a considerable ex-
tent to certain sections of the coun-
try, and the quality of stock received
from some points shows there is much
room for improvement, particularly in
the newer poultry districts. There is
no doubt but what it is impossible to
raise as fine poultry in the south as
it is in the more northerly western
states, where the climate is colder, and
farther north-say in Canada degree
still nearer perfection seems to be at
tanned. But there seems little excuse
for raising poultry as poor as shipped
here from some states. Some of the
southern and also southwestern states
ship carloads of live poultry here
which seem to be conglomeration of
every variety of poultry, and it runs
so small in size that it is very difficult
to interest buyers in it if there is any
good stock to be had.
Several cars of this description ar
rived here of late from Dakota. 1t
would cost the grower no more to
raise higher standard fowl than these
poor scrubs, and in every way he
would be benefited. In addition to
bringing more money in the wholesale
market the shrinkage would be less,
as these poor grade fowls lose much
more heavily than others of pure breed.
Growers should select variety suit
able for the market purposes and raise
that variety only; nothing is to be
gained by keeping two, three or more
varieties of fowls, unless wanted for
some special purpose, and then they
should be kept separately.
All of our poor poultry does not come
from the far west and south, as some
of the very poorest poultry is received
from Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
both states which have reputation for
their high class poultry. But in some
sections of these states the stock is
very poor, particularly in the coal re-
gions, which has led to the well known
trade expression that growers bring
up their poultry on cracked coal in
stead of corn"-New York Produce
