POULTRY FOR PROFIT.

Every poultry raiser should be able to
tell at any time, how many fowls he has,
how many eggs he is getting, how many
eggs required to hatch-them, how many
fowls or chicks he loses by death or
otherwise In short a poultry raiser
should have a record of each and every
days transaction for I'll the fowls on the
premises.
Eggs in abundance, rapid growth in
market poultry, and top prices for his
products, are all necessary to the poul
tryman's prosperity; but the most i'm
portant factor and one that must be con-
sidered first, last and all the time, is the
cost price. There is no profit in eggs
at twenty-five cents per dozen if the eggs
have cost twenty-six cents. There is
profit in eggs at twelve and a half cents
per dozen if the cost has been but ten
cents per dozen. Just so with poultry,
if the cost of production has been too
heavy, by just that much is the profit
reduced. And if the product, either
eggs or poultry, has cost more than the
very least for which it could have been
produced it has cost too much. Care
should be exercised in the use of high
priced foods, expensive houses and ap-
paratus, when cheaper foods, buildings
in the construction of the buildings for
and appliances will do just as we'll; also
when so awkwardly arranged that too
much time is consumed in caring for
the fowls, this is an added expense 1t
is not always true that things lowest in
price, all things considered, is the cheap
est, nor is it always true that the best
is the cheapest.
Food that is poor in quality is gener-
ally dear at any price. Yet a high
priced food ought always to be used I'M
der protest, as it were, and only until
something equally as good and lower in
price can be found to use as substi-

ESSENTIALS OF POTATO Gull
TURE.

After planting do not wait for the
weeds to start before cultivating, but be-
gin with the weeder and spike tooth har-
row, destroying millions of sprouting
weed seeds. When the plant appears go
into the field with the horse hoe or the
riding ctlltivator and continue to dig up
and turn over to the sun and air all the
earth you can reach without literally
tearing up the plant Do not be afraid to
expose Or even break off some of the
lateral rootlets while the plants are
young 1t will let in the air to soil and
roots where most needed and tend to
send large roots deeper down to mois-
ture.
Should the growth of the plant indi-
cate a marked deficiency of active food
at an early stage | have found it decided
ly advantageous to apply some soluble
and quickly available manure alongside
the row and cultivate deeply into the soil.
Almost all of the first class high grade
potato manures are readily soluble in
water and will give the plant a quick,
healthy start that will tide it over the
seasons of usual drouth, leaving it in
vigorous condition to mature a crop
when fall rains come. Two to three
applications of from seventy-tlve to one
hundred pounds each per acre, made at
intervals of from ten days to two weeks,
the last dressing not to be made later
than ten days before the plants come in
to bloom, will produce the same result.
If it is not desired to hill or bank up
the rows when laying by the crop, a
furrow should be left in the center be-
tween rows at the last cultivation, serv-
ing to drain the surplus water from the
row, to hold it in reserve, and to prevent
rotting during possible wet period after
maturity-Amcricdn AgricnlfuriSt.

QUALITY OF BUTTER FOR
MARKET

Not a little of the difference in quality
of butter is due to different demands of
various markets. While market dealers
attempt to establish certain standard, it
is not always possible because of the diff
terence i'll the taste of people. For in
stance, butter for export trade should
have quite essentially different qualities
than that made for table use in the home
markets. 1t has been found by expert
ence that butter for export trade should
be milder in flavor, less salty, and lighter
in color than that demanded for city use
in this country. Neither is it SO import
ant that emphasis should be placed upon
the grain and texture of the butter in
tended for shipment to the British mar
kets. 1t is we'll known that good deal
of the butter received at New York,
which fails to pass as extra table butter
because of the qualities mentioned, finds
a good outlet in the export trade. On
the other hand, butter that has reached
the city in perfect condition so far as
our standards of judgment are concern
ed-that is, with perfect grain, color,
saltiness and texture-las been shipped
abroad and met with such poor reception
that the prices obtained for it we're very
unsatisfactory.
There is good deal i'll making a par
ticular study of the markets of any farm
product, and little more attention paid
to the butter shipped might prove of pc
cuniary advantage to the manufacturer
and commission houses. Our Canadian
butter makers have scored ahead Of us
in this respect, and they ship to English
markets butter with all the qualities that
the British taste demands We are too
apt to take it for granted that the British
like what we like, and that they should
cultivate their taste according to ours.
Such reasoning never pays, and 1t IS
wrong at the start. Our judges of butter
have been good deal at fault in this
work. Finish and style of package and
the butter i'll it have been emphasized
too much often at the expense of the
butter. Now quality in the butter should
always be the first consideration. No
matter how carefully packed, ordinary
butter must eventually be marked down
or somebody will be cheated, which in
the end causes trouble and discredit to
the maker. Renovated butter is now
often packed in fancy packages and sold
as fresh creamery or dairy. Such butter
may not necessarily be inferior, but it is
deception to the public. Butter washed,
cleansed and repacked ~ never have

Fancy Cottons.

In a Washington dispatch to the
Philadelphia Press" is given the story
of the contest which has just ended in
decision of the United States Circuit
Court sustaining the action of the APP
praising department of the New York
Custom House in the matter of valUa-
ton of and import duties upon large
line of what are known as fancy cotton
goods. The importance of this decision
will at once be manifest when it is
known TINT hereafter an additional
duty of one and two cents per yard will
be collected upon large importations Of
cotton textiles which have heretofore
come in at a lower rate. Not only will
the Government revenues be increased
thereby. but the added duty will result
in a greatly increased production of
fancy cottons ON American looms. Last
year, under erroneous classification and
consequent lower duties, we imported
about 100000 in foreign values Of
fancy cotton cloths, the greater portion
of which could, and with adequate du-
ties would, be woven in the United
States. The appraising officials in New
York took up this question nearly two
years ago, and proceeded to carry into
effect the provisions Of the Dingley
Tariff law of 1897. The result, as stat
ed was a Reconsideration and the in
crease of duties from one to two cents
ner ward. The action Of the local ap-
praiser was confirmed by the Board Of
General Appraisers, but was resisted
by the importers and by the Collector
of the Port of New York. The case
was carried on appeal by the import
ers to the United States Circuit Court,
and in the decision just rendered the
appraising department and the con-
tention in behalf of the Government are
fully sustained. In consequence of this
decision some 5000 looms will be imme-
diately converted from lower grades
and staples to the weaving of fancy cot
ton goods, and many more looms will
follow suit. 1t is the beginning of a
great change in cotton manufacture
whereby the Northern mills will In time
devote themselves almost entirely to
the production of the finer grades and
leave to the Southern mills the produc-
ton Of the cheaper staples. In short, 1t

We Were Panic Proof.

The greatest financial disturbance
ever known in the history of Wall
street has just come and gone. AT no
time IN the past was there ever so ire
mendous an unsettling Of values in so
short a space. The panic was terrific
while 1t lasted, but 1t was all over In
forty eight hours, whereupon the coun-
try settled down and resumed business
as though nothing had happened. !,
Why was the panic Of May 8, 10,
1901, of so brief duration and so rela-
lively harmless in its consequences2
When the country's financial pulse went
wrong in Wall street, how did it hap
pen that the country, as whole, ex-
| perienced no fever, no collapse, no
| shock?
| First-Because the country was full
Of money. Bank vaults were bursting
with money, and it was good money
every dollar of it, thanks to the Repub-
lican party. In New York State saw
ings banks alone there was nearly a
| billion dollars, representing the savings
| of wage-earners.
Second - The Industrial prosperity
which had produced this plethora Of
ready money was not in the least
| shaken or diminished, thanks to the
Dingley protective tariff law enacted
by the Republican party. Our great
| home market with it's consuming ca
pacity of SIS, OOO, 10000 year of man
ufactured goods was Gibraltar OF
strength. 1t was not so in the panic Of
1893, when the election Of a free-trade
President and Congress paralyzed ev-
cry domestic industry.
Third-Our accumulated trade ball
ances, averaging from $4O0,OO0,O0O to
$70O,OOOOOO year for the past four
years-the direct result Of keeping our
money at home and of requiring pay
ment in cash instead of foreign made
commodities in settlement of our vast
excess of exports over imports-gave us
a strength and confidence which moth
ing could impair.
In short, it was Mckinley and Pro-
lection Prosperity" that made the

IMPROVEMENTS IN SMALL
FRUITS

Some of the improvements made in
the small fruits within the past ten years
have been remarkable. Those who have
carefully watched the progress of i'm
provement in strawberries, raspberries,
currants, etc, should give new varieties
their attention The size of the straw
berry has been increased until occasional
specimens are shown that are as large
as plums while the currant is also be-
ing improved to great size compared
with those of former days All varieties
differ however, and size may not indi-
cate quality, though it is the object OF
originators of new varieties to combine
quality and size as much as possible.

Last year there were 100000 acres
given over to the raising Of fax in the
three States of North and South Dako-
ia and Minnesota; and it is reported
that this years sowing will show an
increase of 100000 acres over the fig

is one more to be added to the list Of
industries which owe their establish
ment in this country directly to our pro-
tective tariff policy. 1t, along with the
silk industry, the tin-plate industry, the
steel industry and host of others in
their turn, has been belittled and sneer-

BLIND BRIDES FOR WORK
HORSES

The farmers of forty years ago never
thought of working horses on the farm
or road without blinds on brides. | was
brought up under the impression that a
spirited horse could not be worked with
out blinds. But | haven't blind bride
on the farm now and do not think |
shall ever own one again.
The argument used by those who IA
vor the use of blinds is that when
horse cannot see his driver or the ma
chine or vehicle behind him, he goes
along much steadier and without getting
excited, and drives freer and shirks
his duty less. The other side is that
when he is broken without the blinds
he has more confidence in himself and
in his driver and is not so likely to scare
at anything he sees behind him, or shy
at things he half sees on either side
No horse with open bride is continually
finding ghosts, or shying at bicycles,
baby carriages, road scrapers and the
like. I know from experience that one
can get a horse accustomed to railroad
trains, traction engines or threshing
machines much quicker by using open
brides, or when he can see plainly in
stead of having two-thirds of his vision
obscured
1t is true that horse broken with
blind bride will act foolish when a
change is made to an open one. The
reason is simple; it is like breaking an
animal in the first place. When hitched
up, instead of hearing the rumbling or
rattle of the wagon or machine behind
him he sees it following closely after
him, He will probably try to get away
from it at first. 1t takes some time to
get him used to his new surroundings,
but if he is carefully handled he soon
gets down to work and is very much
more tractable and level-headed.
| know of but one kind of horse that
works better with blinds than without
Them and that is the sluggard or regular
shirk. With the blinds on, at each cluck
of the driver he does not know but he
may get lash of the whip. He surges
along and keeps up his end. With the
open bride he soon learns to know when
the whip is i'll the hands of the driver
and governs himself accordingly. | like
to have harnesses, as we'll as brides,
as free from unnecessary weight or en-
cumbrance as possible, for it adds to the
comfort of the animal We should give
this matter thought as we go along.
| hear a good deal said against the over
check, and it is all right as rule to
discard it, but | would for the same
reason let the blinds go the same way

BEST TINE TO CULTIVATE.

The best time to cultivate is after a
rain, as then the soil is liable to bake
or become hard on the surface. Even a
raking will prove beneficial, as the top
soil is kept fine and loose and prevents
the escape of moisture from below.
Weeds seldom appear if the rake is free
ly used.
