A journey Of exploration to what are

"A Chickens Intricate Foot.

The mechanism of the leg and foot
OF a chicken or other bird that roosts
is marvel of design. 1t often seems
strange that bird will sit on a roost
and sleep all night without falling Off,
but the explanation is simple. The ten
don of the leg of bird that roosts is
SO arranged that when the leg is bent
at the knee the claws are bound to
contract and thus hold with a sort or
death-like grip the limb around
which they are placed. Put a chickens
feet on your wrist and then make the
bird sit down and you will have prac-
tlcal illustration on your skin that you
will remember for some time. BY thi;
singular arrangement, seen only iii
such birds as roost they will rest COM
fortably and never think of holding on,
for 1t is impossible for them to let go
until they stand up.

American spectacles may not be

Cattle At Chicago.

the receipts of cattle at Chicago dur.

$500 less than the previous week. A
good many unfinished steers were sent
to market that sold low. Prices on the
best grades of cattle average so cents
lower than the same sorts brought one
year ago. On the bulk of sales the
difference amounted to 25 cents in
favor of last year. Towards the close
of the week the export trade was
rather dull, there not being sufficient
foreign demand for cattle at prices
that would afford a satisfactory mar
gin of profit. The total receipts of
Texas cattle were the same as the
week before or about 4,0O0 The stock
of young cattle in the hands of dealers
at the close of the week was the small

told, and those not of the sort that

to take off all me good ones, high

ers bringing $3.50 to 1885. There is
said to be considerable demand for
good, well-bred heifers at the latter
figure, but common ones are slow sale.

Dairy Notes.

In New South Wales, Australia. the
dalrymen have new strain of cattle
that they call the Illawarra, after the
district in which they are found most
abundantly. The strain was produced
by the crossing of the Jerseys, Short
horns and Ayrshires. The milking
qualities are said to be of the best, and
1t is claimed for them that no other
strain of mixers give so good salts
faction. We fear that this is an ex-
parte statement. Certainly Americans
have not found such a mix-up of ad-
vantage.
Reports from various states show
that good deal of uncolored oleomar-
garine is being sold. The dairy and
food commissioner of Connecticut re-
ports that five large houses in that
state are disposing of large quantities
of it. The fact is that people get used
to using the uncolored article and soon
forget that it ever was colored. There
is no doubt that if coloring is prohib-
tied the sale of oleomargarine will
still remain large. No dairyman OBJ
jects to it's sale being large so long as
the buyers and users know it for what
it is.
reports continue to come to us of
the rapidly developing Siberian butter
trade. The government of Russia is
showing great enterprise in the mat
ter. 1t has arranged ice houses in
Siberia for the storage of butter, egga,
game and the like. Arrangements
have been made for the transport of
this butter quickly across Russia to
the Baltic Sea where line of steam
ers have been subsidized to carry
the products to London. We cite these
facts as an example of national enter
prise that is certain to have far-reach-
ing effects.
In England the butter dealers are
having quite a time trying to find out
how much water butter should con-
tain. Recently a judge fined a mer-
chant for selling butter containing
1880 per cent of water. The matter
went to higher court and this court
sustained the finding of the lower
court. Testimony showed that butter
should contain not more than Is to is
per cent OF water, the latter amount
being considered the extreme limit
The makers of the butter argued that
the extra amount of water in the but
ter was due to the brine sailing and
not to any intention on the part of tho
maker to incorporate an increased
amount of water. The testimony was
very interesting, but contradictory
One witness asserted that there was
no dry sailed butter on the market and
that dry sailing was used only in ex-
periments. He said that dry sailed
butter would not keep. Another man
asserted that dry sailed butter kent
ncomparably better than brine salted |
Finally the contest simmered down tn

leld in the butter by each process. #
was shown that the brine sailing in

The Progress In Poultry-Keeping.

The Progress In Poultry-Keeping.
Half century ago poultry-k keeping
was simply fashionable amusement
and pastime, says American Stockman,
The beginning may be said to be about
lS47 to 1850. at the time OF the intro
duction of the Shanghais. Those who
have some knowledge OF the history
OF the past have fair idea OF what
poultry has accomplished. The casual
observer of years ago saw only enough
or 1t to disgust him with the whole
business. Men who were engaged in it
saw enough money in it, and as many
as had Judgment enough to curtail ex-
penses 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-called
fanciers, however, went into the BUSH
ness merely for the sake of the specu-
lation and excitement it afforded. and
went out of it without knowing or car
ing anything about the ultimate results
OF the poultry interest at large. Fan
ciers OF this type land it is possible
that there are few of them in the
business yeti were interested only in
the proceeds, with no thought OF what
poultry breeding has done for the in
provement of the general stock OF the
country. and the increase of the prod
ucts of the pou'try-yards OF the ma
ton. There have always been some
fanciers who were true fanciers-not
speculators-who worked for nobler
ends than merely to make money. The
money end, of course, was not lost sight
of, but it was not the governing pur-
pose.
