A poultry raiser advises building the
poultry house floor OF dirt. He says
that cement floors cause humble foot
and that board floors are little better.
We think that the gentleman has paid
too little attention to the height of
his roOsts. There is no need of having
the roosts SO high that every time a
fowl flies down 1t will result in bruis-
ing the feet. Board floors and cement
floors are certainly advisable In many
cases, and if the roosts are low there
need be no damage from bumb1e-foot
The writer Of this has used board
floor for years, with roosts only IS
inches above it. No case Of humble
foot ever materialized. Moreover, it
is entirely feasible to keep the floor
covered, with dirt, dust or chaff.
The man that wants to show suc-s
cessfully at the fairs and poultry ex-
hibitions should not expect to buy his
breeding stock cheap. In fact, it will
prove cheaper to pay good price for
birds in which certain types have be-
come we'll fixed. Cheap birds may
show good points, but their progeny
may have few of them, due to the
fact that there has been too little line,
breeding to be effective. The man
that pays good price for his breeders
should demand information as to the
ancestors of the birds. A dozen gen.
erations of prize winners is worth
S,,
generations. In other words, pedigree
counts in birds as certainly as in other
kinds of live stock
It takes skill to breed up flock OF
birds for any purpose. The brainless
man will find it as impossible to sue
coed in this as in any other undertake
ing. 1t requires time, and the impa-
tient man will do we'll to keep out OF
the lists. Lastly it requires an expen-
diture of money at first out of all pro-
portion to the immediate results. The
money comes back in the future re-
suits.
Dirt is cheap and the hen should
| have an inexhaustible supply of it.
She needs it for her daily bath. Water
| for bathing has never appealed to the
| fancy of the hen. She conceives OF
| dust as the proper medium and will
! battle in that or nothing. By all means
encourage her to battle by giving he1
| all the dust she needs. AS this isathe
time Of year when dust for winter use
| should be collected we call attention &c
| the matter now. In few weeks the
| fall rains will have changed the dust
into mud and rendered it unusable. D.
We pick up the following waits and
send them forth to the world: Give the
fowls all the house-room they need.
Much disease can be prevent
ed by being sure that the drinking
| water is free from disease. Water
borne diseases are fruitful sources Sot
| loss among fowls. T. = Make sure
| that the nests are free from vermin.
If vermin exists in nests destroy them.
even if the nests themselves have to
be destroyed. - Put no conf
dence in the good intention of rats; if
| they once yet taste Of fresh chicken
| they will make trouble. Exterminate5
them before they have time to exter.
inmate the chicks.

ENGLLsHMAN's IDEA OF FREEDOM.
Several years ago young English
man came over on his first visit to
America, and wherever he went he
never ceased to express his enthusiasm
over the perfect freedom enjoyed by
the citizens of this favored republic,
while the simplicity of rulers and the
absence of guards amazed him beyond
measure
While in Washington he was partic-
ularly impressed with the lack of re-
stralnt around the White House, and
the fact that he was permitted to roam
at will over the grounds without
showing credentials or passes.
L dare say" he remarked, that in
this wonderful country a fellow could
go into the grounds and roll around
On the grass without any objection by
the authorities"
His American friend assured him
that it was quite possible and smiling-
ly advised him to try the experiment..
The friend tells the sequel:
He looked at me minute and then
walked into the White House grounds
There was crowd there, but no one
paid the least attention to him. He
went out on the lawn right in front Of
the main entrance to the building and
lay down fiat on his back. Then he
rolled over three times, slowly and de-
liberately, after which he got up and
walked out of the grounds as happy
as if he had found ten dollars"
mo one looked at him and no one
spoke to him; to roll over On the
White House lawn might have been
the proper thing to do for aught that
appeared. The Englishman said that
if he had acted in that way in any Of
the capitals on the other side he would
have been locked up as dangerous
character. He was very proud of his
exploit and suppose he is still telling
the" story of it in England. '-Youth's

Dairy Notes.

Precaution is necessary in the feed
ing of sorghum. From time to time
| reports have been received of cattle
dying from eating the sorghum in
certain stages of growth. All attempts
to find the poison have failed thus
far. However, the losses have been
SO small compared to the number OF
COWS being fed that the use Of this
kind of feed has been continued. A
| recent communication from Professor:
ID. H. Otis of the Kansas Experiment
Station says: During the time the
Kansas station has been pasturing
sorghum several reports have been re-
ceived of cattle dying in ten or fif-
teen minutes from the time they en-
tered the sorghum patch, but in every
case where we have been able to get
details, the cattle have eaten the sor-=
ghum on empty Or nearly empty stom-
achs. Cattle should have their stom-s
achs so well filed that they feel COM
pletely satisfied before touching the
green sorghum, and then allowed to-
eat only few minutes at a time un-
til they are accustomed to it. If sor-.
ghum can be pastured successfully, as
has been done by the Kansas Expert
ment Station, it means that the dairy
men and stockmen can get an inn
mense amount of pasture from small
area, which. is available at a time
when their other pastures are getting
short and dry. Pasturing will also
be the most economical way of utiliz-
ing sorghum. The man that turns
his cattle in a sorghum field, however.
must realize that he may be taking
risks. He must weigh the evidence
for and against it's use and then de-
eide for himself whether the benefits
will outweigh the risks

If bromus fnermis is to be profitable,
compared with other forage plants, it
must be rightly handled. A report Of
the Nebraska station for 1899 says:
''The amount of pasturage furnished
was little more than half as much
as that obtained from alfalfa during
the same part of the summer. It pro-
duced very little less milk and butter
fat than did the mixed grasses. It
may be considered an excellent pasture
grass for dairy stock" The writer
saw 1t growing at the wisconsin sta
ton, where the verdict is much the
same. It did not come up to the ex-
pectations as hay-producing gras
this year, yielding less than some OF
the other grasses by a good deal. 1t
ernw in cJl1yypnS and n1JIch 0f hoss
ground was for that reason left bare.
1t natures later than blue grass.
which should make it valuable for
sowing in pastures where mixed
grasses are used. Fall pasturage
should be materially increased by the
use OF this grass.
