The New wyandottes.

The new variety of Wyandottes,
called Silver Penciled Wyandottes, is
q beautiful fowl, but beyond all this
they are wonderful egg producers. A
lot are known to have been Matched
early in July, 1900, which began to lay
about Christmas. Two of them have
continued to lay right along for seven
months. During May these two hens
laid, one, twenty-one eggs; the other,
twenty-three eggs. For 210 days, end
ing July 20, these two hens have laid
297 eggs between them. If the ratio
could be maintained, these two hens
might produce in the full 365 days
259 eggs each. But it is to be pre-
sumed that they cannot continue at
this rate much longer. This new va
riety is a combination of the original
Silver Laced Wyandotte and the Dark
Brahma. In them has been united the
blood of two of the best general pur-
pose fowls we have. None Of our
American breeds Is better for eggs
and market poultry than the first
Wyandotte that was originated in up
per New York state. Fully their equal
IS the Dark Rrahma. The union of the
two has produced fowl that has the
Wyandotte shape with the Dark Brah-
ma color. The credit of originating the
new variety belongs to Cayuga county,

A few years ago Armour & Co., the
great packing house of Kansas City,
were advertising in the papers circu-
lating in their immediate territory ad-
vising farmers to get pure bred Plym-
outh Rock, Wyandotte and Indian
Game males to grade up their stock,
says Practical Farmer. 1t seems re-
markable that firm Of packers and
shippers should spend money in that
way, but the explanation is simple.
Armour & Co. are killing and shipping
three or four tons of poultry day,
and they could get 81 or So per hun
dredweight more for good stuff than
they could for poor, hence it would
actually pay them a profit in time to
spend money in advising farmers to
raise better poultry. The effects Of the
uplifting would be practically perma-

The Schmidt treatment for milk fe-
yer in cattle has resulted in a remark
able number of recoveries, reports from
1O7 veterinarians showing sc per cent.
DR.. Schmidt of Denmark assumes the
disease to be due to the elaboration of
a toxin in the udder. The treatment is
simple, within the reach of all dairy
men, says Professor Buckley Of the
Maryland experiment station.
Dissolve 120 grains iodide of potash
in one quart of water which has been
boiled and allowed to cool to about the
temperature of the body. Introduce a
funnel and pipette into the ends of a
rubber tube and place in bucket of
antiseptic fluid. Milk the udder dry,
then place under the COW piece of oil
cloth about yard square, so that the
udder will be about the middle Of the
cloth.
Wash the udder and teats thoroughly
with CASTLE soap and warm water, rims
ing carefully with antiseptic fluid. In
sert the pipette into the end Of teat
and fill the funnel with iodide Of pot
ash solution. By passing successfully
from one teat to another distribute the
solution equally among the quarters Of
the udder. Rub the udder from the
teat toward the body, and massage
thoroughly in order to distribute the
solution throughout. Eight or ten hours
after the injection, or when recovery is
assured, the udder should be carefully
MIXED out and then bathed with warm
water about 100 degrees f. A second
injection is rarely necessary, but If SO
it should be done at the end of six or
eight hours.
If there should be a tendency toward
hardness of the udder or ''stringiness"
of the milk, baths of warm water
should be applied every three or four
hours until relieved. If neglected, gar
get will result. AS preventive meas
ure it is advisable to restrict robust an
imals to a moderate allowance of dry
food for seven to ten days previous to
the end of their term, and where there
is a tendency toward costiveness or
constipation correct it with drench OF
epson salts.

The monthly report of the statistician
of the department of agriculture shows
the average condition of corn on Oct. 1
to have been 52.1 as compared with
51.7 last month, 1872 on Oct. 1, 1900;
S2.7 at the corresponding date in 1899,
and SIS, the mean of the October av-

The KeiGer Pear.

1t is true that the Keiffer has great
many enemies, but it has great many
warm friends. 1t is grown in the state
Of New Jersey to greater extent than
any other fruit excepting the Ben
Davis apple. 1t improves in quality
and is far superior to the pear that
was first planted. l think it's quality
is equal to a great many other pears
that we have in the market today.
They used to can it when it was not iii
condition to do so, and for that reason
it was hardly worth putting on the
market. l would rather have my little
Keiffer pear orchard of 1900 trees to
make money out of than the rest of my
farm of 224 acres. l could show you
the figures from the time my orchard
has fruited up to the present time. My
Keiffer orchard in 1900 yielded me
over 500 per acre clear of the expense
of marketing. | would favor buying
cheap sandy land in New Jersey and
setting it to Keiffer pears. l planted
a little orchard two years ago. / would
select land that was little sandy and
try to overcome the rusty coat on the
pears. What sells the Keiffer pear is
the color or the beauty of the pear

How to Rntton a Cont.

The art of properly buttoning a coat
any COATS do it the other way
that is to say that nine out of every
ten of us button our coats the wrong
way. We commence with the topmost
button when we should commence with
the bottom one. The frailest portion
of a coat in respect to shape retaining
qualities, no matter how well made, Is
the region of collar and lapels. The
swagger merchant tailor always eau
lions his customer to "wear it buttoned
a few days, so that the collar may set
properly" Then, this admitted, it fol-
lows that tugs and strains affecting
this part of the garment tend to de-
stroy it's symmetry. Drawing the coat
together by the top button and button
hole for the purpose of fastening ex-
erts pull all around the shoulders and
neck region, which by repetition in
time will give the smartest coat hang
dog appearance.

CROSS BREEDING.

A Breeder Who Thinks 1t All NGiss
take to Cross Pure Breeds.
In reading poultry journals q read
only about half DOZEN l often come
across articles advocating a cross be.
tween pure bred fowls and questions
about which breeds to cross. Some peo-
pie seem to think that cross breeds are
healthier and are better layers than
pure breeds.
Why don't they cross mongrels on
mongrels? There are many focks of
mongrels not related to each other,
and they ought to get what they want
that way, but they know or seem to
think that pure breeds are doing bet
ter work for most of their owners than
any mongrels. Why don't they get
pure bred fowls then? They may know
of certain breeders who have inbred
their fowls and lost many of their fine
fowls by disease, and that sets them
against pure breeds. So they get pure
bred light Brahmas from Mr.. A., who
has large, healthy Brahmas, and pure
bred brown Leghorns of Mr.. B. and
mate a light Brahma cockerel with
brown Leghorn pullets. Such an ex-
perimenter may get lots of eggs that
hatch well, the chicks may grow fast,
and the breeder will feel contented, but
there is not much evenness in size or
color of young stock. This he does not
like the best, but it makes no difference
as long as they do well other ways. If
he keeps on breeding from these same
fowls, he will soon have inbred fowls
and the worst kind of mongrels. But
most of them go no further than the
first cross, which is all right for cross
ing.
But why cross breed when you can
get pure breds from two different
strains and have an even lot of chicks
just as healthy as you ask for if they
have been cared for right? By intro
ducing new blood from third, fourth,
etc, strain (as you need it, you will
still have pure breds. We all agree OF
course that by this method we can es-
tablish no special type Of fowl nor ex-
pect any show birds worth speaking of.
But here is the breeder who must
cross breed two pure bred breeds. If
you must do this for the looks sake,
cross two pure white breeds, two black
breeds or two buff breeds. This will
give you chicks of uniform color. Or
get nearer to it by crossing two white,
black or buff breeds with the same
style Of comb, same color of shanks or
that lay the same color of eggs. This
will give you more uniformity in their
production.
One who cross breeds is not fancier
by any means. We all like to see
evenness in the looks Of flock of chick
ems, and we like it better still when
we can say that the birds are pure
breeds. I believe that with extra vigor
fowls can be inbred several genera
lions with no noticeable bad results.
You can inbred without line breeding,
but you cannot line breed without in
breeding. Line breeders must get new
blood, but they get it from birds bred
in line for the same object for which
they are breeding.-Arthur G. Crosse in
Poultry Keeper.

less danger to the sheep in the hands
of a careless man. 1t is estimated that
it would need flock of rs or 100 good
sheep in order to make the machine
pay for itself. By putting in another
set of knives it can be used for clip
ping horses.
On the other hand, a well known
sheepman, writing in Ohio Farmer, is
of the opinion that hand power ma
chine is not very profitable. He finds
that it takes a man not boy to turn
all day, that the knives soon get dull
and must be sent to an expert for
sharpening and that, although lamb
can be shorn very nicely and smooth
by taking pains, one cannot shear fast
enough, and the wool must be cut a
second time if any speed is made.
Replying to this adverse opinion,
through Ohio Farmer, another man
says:
"As a young man / learned to shear
in Australia and could, with four good
pair of hand shears, without cutting,
shear an average of eighty day.
was taught by an expert, and the Sc
cret is not in shearing, but in holding
and in knowing that the skin must be
kept tight and the bottom blade fat.
Now that 1 have got used to the ma
chine, will never use the hand shears
again. To say that the machine is not
an improvement on the hand shears is
to say the grain binder is no improve
ment on the hand sickle"
Still another Ohio sheep grower testi-
fies in the same paper: 81 have had my
sheep sheared three years now with a
machine and have nothing but praise
for it. Every one who buys the ma
chine wants the grinding stone also.
Any good mechanic can grind the
shears"

plan is from Mr.. e. A. Hutchins, New
York, who does not favor too much
window space and who states that the
windows should be double for winter.
For very cold climates windows should
be closed and not radiate the heat.
The nests are shown under the plat
forms, the roosts being over them. The
house may be of any preferred size,
and a number of them may be together,

here is not so much to give plan of a

Feedinr DAIRY Calves.

No progressive dairyman, breeder or
experiment station advises feeding corn
meal to dairy calves, as it has just the
opposite tendency to that at which we
are aiming, says e. V. Sharpless in Ma
tional Stockman. Wheat middlings and
oil meal are perhaps the most satisfac-
tory feed we can obtain. Cooking or
heating food for young stock helps
growth, because warmth seems to be
conducive to life and cold to be an at
tribute of death. Especially the liquid
food should be fed warm. and the fod-
der should become warm by being mas
ticated in the mouth before entering
the stomach. With this treatment and
food the heifer should be profitable
investment at the age of twenty-one or
twenty-five months.

Apples For Cold storage.

Picking and packing should be car
ried on at the same time. If for any
reason this cannot be done, have the
apples taken to the packing house as
fast as gathered and get them under
cover. 1t is the very worst possible
practice to pile them on the ground in
the orchard.
Double face the barrels, but be sure
that the face is an indication of what
is underneath, both as to size, color
and general character. Shake them
down as the baskets are emptied into
the barrels. Fill the barrels two inches
above the top and press down carefully
with a screw or lever press, the screw
press being the most desirable.
Do not put more than four nails in
each chime hoop. Stencil the name of
the variety on the face end and lay the
barrel on it's side. They should be sent
to the nearest good cold storage plant
as soon as you have carload and GER
tainly do not let the interval between
packing and shipping exceed five days,
says an Illinois orchardiSt.

Fried onions as a garnish to beef
steak are, if liked at all, favorite
dish. At most tables the onions are
served a greasy, blackened mass, often
half raw, altogether unpleasing to
view and by no means digestible. This
is because most cooks cook onions in
a pan with little butter, method
that cannot by any skill produce a
satisfactory result. Try the next time
another way. Slice the onions and
soak the slices in milk for at least ten
minutes. Then dip them in -four and
immense in boiling fat for six or seven
minutes. Have the fat heated to the
point that a bit Of bread thrown in will
brown instantly. The slices viii not
remain intact, but will cook through
and will not turn black. Remove
with SKINNER and drain on brown
paper, placing around the steak.

How to Remove the Coats OF sum-
mer Tan and Sunburn.
For sunburn, bathing at night with
a cold infusion of cucumbers cut up in
milk is an excellent remedy; SO also is
buttermilk. The acidity of this re-
moves the sunburn, and the oil in 1t Is
singularly good and softening to the
skin.
One ounce of freshly scraped horse
radish STEPPED In the buttermilk for
two hours is said to render 1t still more
several times a day.
Instead of washing the face with wa
ter after long walk or ride, try bath
ing it with lait virginale, which is de-
lightfully refreshing, easily made and
harmless. Take one pint of rose. or
ange or elder flower water. half an
ounce Of simple tincture Of benzoin,
ten drops of tincture of myrrh and ten
drops of glycerin. Put the rosewater
in a bowl, add drop by drop the tine
ture of benzoin, ten drops of tineture
of myrrh and ten drops of glycerin,
stirring all the time. AS glycerin does
not suit ell skins, it may be omitted If
not liked.
A cosmetic which renders the COM
plexion clear and free from spots is
made by mixing two drains of simple
tincture of benzoin with one pint of
rosewater. Apply with soft towel.
When the throat and neck have be
come brown, they can be whitened by
using every night and morning the fol

of oil of bitter almonds, the whites OF

a paste. Spread this on a rag and
