THE PURE FOOD BILL.
A Measure Whose Passage and Rigid
Enforcement Will Benefit
American Farmers.

It is gratifying to learn that all op-
posing interests in congress have been
unified on pure food bill and that the
ator Mason and Representative Brosius
have now made their respective bills
exactly alike, and both branches OF
congress will support the measure. For
two years strenuous efforts have been
made to obtain legislation to prevent
the adulteration, misbranding and i'm
itation Of foods, beverages, candies,
drugs and condiments throughout the
United States. The Mason1Brosius bill
is the final embodiment of these la
bors and will make desirable law.
Under this measure 1t will become
the duty of the chemical bureau of the
department of agriculture to inspect
food and drug products sent to it for
that purpose by the various branches
of the government. The bill prohibits
the shipment OF adulterated OF mis-
branded foods or drugs from one state
or territory to another OF from this
country to foreign nation, under pain
of fine of 5000 for the first offense
and $500 for succeeding offenses, with
imprisonment for one year, at the dis
erection of the court. Great care has
been taken to define exactly the mean
ing of the terms "adulteration" and
"misbranding," so that the law may not
be easily evaded. It gives promise OF
being a businesshke and effective meas
ure for protecting consumers against
frauds of this kind.
There has long been urgent need OF
federal law against food adulteration.
The general government can deal much
more effectively with such frauds than
can the state OF municipal government.
It has better facilities for chemical
analysis and better legal machinery for
bringing offenders to justice. With the
present vast development Of interstate
commerce any matter of food adulter-
alton naturally becomes a national
rather than local question. There Is
reason to believe that federal law will
accomplish much good in curing exist
ing abuses.-Chicago Tribune.

When Hens Get Too Fat.

When leghorn hen weighs 5Ks
pounds or even five pounds, she is fat;
and when plymouth rock hen gets
up to eight pounds, or brahma
reaches ten pounds, she is getting too
fat. The best signs other than weigh
ing them are their sluggish movement,
their desire to wait for their food in
stead of scratching, broad appearance
behind, falling of the belly (near or
rear), especially with old hens, a
smooth, glossy ppearance-often red
on the hind portion of the body-with
perhaps loss of feathers. Body deep
and heavy appearance are also signs.
One or all Of these indications are to
be observed; but the surest plan is to
kill one supposed to be too fat, and
she will show nearly the conditions of
all the others in the flock if the food
given has been heavily of grain

TROUGH UNDER COVER.

they are metal tanks, they should be
boxed in, a good plan being shown
in the engraving. If horse and cattle
yards are separated, the tank may oc-
cupy a place in the fence between
them. The inclosing box is brought
in the square to level with the tank
and then rooted over at an angle
of from 80 to As degrees. At each
end section of the roof is hinged,
and may be thrown up against a strip
over the ridge of the roof,
where U-shaped iron, or a horse
shoe, will prevent it falling or being
blown down. The separation of these
drinking places promotes peaceable
among the stock while drink
ing and by keeping the doors closed
the water is kept clear and cool in
summer, and in winter it helps to pre-
vent hard freezing.-Orange Judd

ON A SOUND BASIS.
From n Mere Pastime Poultry Keep
ing Has Developed Into q Sound
and Safe Business.

Half century ago poultry keeping
was simply a fashionable amusement
and pastime. The beginning may be
said to be about 1S47 to 1850, at the
time of the introduction of the Shang-
hais. Those who have some knowledge
of the history of the past have fair
idea of what poultry has accomplished.
THIS casual observer of years ago saw
only enough of it to disgust him with
the whole business. Men who were
engaged in 1t saw enough money in il,
and az many as had judgment enough
to curtail expenses and reduce stock
at the right time came out with little
money and more or less experience, the
latter worth perhaps as much in the
long run as the money. A great many
so-salled fanciers, however, went into
the baHness merely for the sake of the
speculation and excitement it afforded,
and went out of it without knowing
or caring anything about the ultimate
results. Of the, poultry interest at large.
Fanciers Of this type (and it is possible
that there are a few Of them in the
business yeti were interested only in
the proceeds, with no thought of what
poultry breeding has done for the i'm
provsment of the general stock of the
country and the increase of the prod
ucts OF the poultry yards of the nation.
There have always been some fanciers
who were true fanciers = not specu-
lators-who worked for nobIer ends
than merely to make money. The
money end, Of course, was not lost sight
of, but it was not the governing pur-
pose.-Farm and Fireside.

DRIED EGGS IN CANS.
9he Latest Way in Which the Ameri.
can Hen LIS Distributing Her
Nutritious Product

The. portable hen is the latest thing
adopted by the commissary depart
ment of the army. Itlays fresh eggs
every day, is guaranteed to produce
eight dozen, just as they are required,
and weighs only two pounds. Requir-
ing neither food nor water, it can be
carried conveniently in a soldiers
knapsack, and all he has to do when
he wants an omelet or scramble"
is to unscrew the "critter" and ex-
tract. from it with spoon.
Dried egg in cans is, to speak more
exactly, the army food of the immedi-
ate future. 1t is put UP by number
of manufacturers in various parts of
the country, but chiefly in Missouri,
under different trade names, such as
"evaporated egg," desiccated egg"
and ''crystallized egg," From two to
these firms the war department has
purchased large quantities of the
stuff, and thousands of cans of it have
been shipped to China and to the
Philippines for the use of our troops.
One pound is equivalent to four dozen
fresh eggs, and it affords an admir-
able substitute, being to all intents
and purposes simply hens eggs with
the water extracted, and Excepting"
for years, even in tropical climate.
Dried eggs have been utilized large
ly in Alaska of late, in the Klondike,
and at Cape Nome. They have been
furnished to British soldiers in South
Africa, in Yankee cans. In this and
other ways the American hen is dis
tributing her product all over the
world, and recent arctic expeditions
have carried similar supplies with
them,-National Stockman.

Turkeys Thrive on Charco.1

According to one writer on poultry,
pulverized charcoal is a fine thing for
turkeys. He tells about two pens of
turkeys of four birds each. One pen
was fed on meal, boiled potatoes and
oats. The other pen was fed the same
way with the addition that they had
pint of finely pulverized charcoal
mixed with their feed. They had also
plentiful supply of broken charcoal
in their pen. The eight were killed
on the same day, and the ones that
had the charcoal weighed ~ pounds
more each than the ones that had no
charcoal. This is important if the
birds were of equal weight when thew
were put into the pens or if the diff
fsrences Of weight were taken into
consideration st the time they were
killed.

sticking to One Th,nr Paw,

Farmers who stick to the crops and
system OF farming they have found
most profitable in the long run are
wisest. The low price of hops last
year induced many New York farm
ers to change to other crops and now
they are regretting it. The New York
Farmer says: "Hops have doubled in
price since the close Of the season of
1899. Last year at this time they sold
at seven to ten cents in Otsego and
other counties have received from II
to 20 cents q pound for all the good
hops they have on hand. Some hop
growers turned to potatoes. and lost
their seasons work by drought. 9th
ers tried beans, cabbage and other
truck, and probably not one of them
all has bettered his condition by turn
ing to other crops. Some of them are
decidedly worse off as consequence
Of the change"

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Athin turkey sells hard and at low
price.
Wood ashes should not be used in
the poultry house.
A leafess tree or the top rail of a
fence Is very poor protection from
storm or cold.
A little thought, little time and a
very little money will add much to the
comfort and health of the hens and to
the profit Of their owner.
A few bushels of garden soil put in
to the hen house now will come handy
before next April. Try it and see if
we are right in the statement.
If soft food Is fed it is an excellent
plan to have a cover of Stats over the
trough which will permit the fowls
to eat and yet keep them from getting
into their feed.
Keep the old turkeys for breeding
purposes. Select a few of the best
young ones to take the places of those
that have fallen by the way during
the year, OF that are too old.-Nation-

Horse Meat in Germany.

Consul General Guenther, writing tc
the department of state. says: ''On
account OF the high price of other
meat, not only horse meat, but also
dog meat is used by people as an arti-
Gle of food in Germany. The new meat
inspection bill does not adequately
protect the consumer against bad
meat, but excludes many -frst-class
products from the country. Accord
ing to the statistical year book of
German cities, it appears that the con-
sumption OF horse meat is on the in
crease, and in Breslau, Chemnitz, Ores
den, Leipsic, Zwiekau and other places
dogs are slaughtered for food"
