LOSSES OF CHICKS.

To give a hen a brood and allow
hI to lead them wherever she chooses
L. ind her own and the chicks food
l. time honored custom No one
can be- successful with broods under
such a system. Rats, minks, hawks,
wet, cold, and irregularity of feeding
thin them out without the farmer S
knowing it, until finally the number
remaining is but fraction of the
whole number Matched. The strong
chicks Of brood lead the hen and as
she naturally follows she races the
weak ones to death. All these diff
culties can be overcome by keeping
the broods in little coops, we'll pro-
tected from the weather, with lath
run facing the sun The chicks should
be fed often and we'll looked after.
Count and close them up carefully
at night, then in the morning count
them again and all losses will be OBJ
served without trouble Keep each
brood i'll confinement until ready for
market; keep a book account and
profit will take the place of loss.
Plastering laths are the cheapest ma
terial for use in constructing little
runs or pens and they will last for
several seasons

Quoted by DR.. f. A. Rich, veterinar.
ian, and Prof. L. r. Jones, botanist,
of the Vermont Experiment Station,
and their conclusions have just been
made public,
Among other tests, "swale hay, q"
containing considerable quantities of
this rush" or "fox tail, " was fe
to horses. symptoms of poisoning
followed and the horses died from the
effects. Numerous similar cases of
accidental poisoning have been stud
led.
Many farmers who have noticed the
bad effects of feeding swale hay
have laid the blame upon the ferns or
brakes" which it contained This
seems to be entirely a mistake. The
equisetum alone should be condemned.
Horses are the only animals serii
ously affected by this weed Sheep
may possibly be hurt by it, but that
is a question. Cows eat it with inn
punity.
In the horse equisetum produces a
nervous affection characterized by loss
of muscular coordination. He reels
and staggers like drunken man, and,
as the disease progresses, becomes UNI
able to stand, goes down, other ner-
vous symptoms develop and death re-
suits in from four days to two weeks.
Horses seem to acquire taste for
equisetum hay and eat it by prefer.
ence. Young animals and those not
receiving grain are most susceptible
to the poisonous action of the weed. -

BLACKLEG.

1t is not so long since blackleg"
or anthrax, has appeared on farms in
this region that its existence is more
memory than an experience. But
one knows from reading how destruc-
tive it is on the Western and.Southern
cattle ranges. The discoveries of sci
entitic investigation have helped mat
tiers for those who will take pains to
forefend against it, The weakened
condition OF many young cattle this
spring will make them particularly
susceptible to this disease-judging
by past experimentation it was in the
early days when pioneer ways of car.
ing for stock were the rule, that loss
es occurred most frequently. The
symptoms of the disease are unmistak-
able to those who have known it.
The creature is unable to keep with
the herd it lies down to rest, but
soon gets up and painfully follows
after There is a perceptible limp,
and if caught there will be heard a
cracking sound under the skin of the
lame limb as the hand is rubbed over
1t. At this stage the chances are al
most entirely against its recovery
A case of this Kind was the signal
for treating the other young members
OF the herd. A teaspoonful of salt
petre was administered to each three
days in succession, and rowel insert
ed in the dewlap. This may seem old
fogyish in the light of the present day
incubation with blackleg vaccine.
But in the absence of the more per.
feet methods it may do no harm and
may do good TODAY, just as it is firmly
believed it did years ago. If the dis
ease has been in the neighborhood
within recent years it is earnestly
suggested that preventive measures be
promptly taken. The veterinary de.
partment of the college of agriculture
in each State will cheerfully answer
inquiries of this or kindred topics,
and the local veterinary surgeon, if
properly qualified, will be ready to
give counsel and assistance in such
matters. The loss of creature which
might have been saved by timely at.
tention will be ample reason for the
expense incurred in. treating whole
herd, Farm, Stock and Home.

DECAMPED WITH FUNDS.

Rouses Point, N. Y, June IL The
local branch of the International
Typographical Union is financially
embarrassed through the disappearance
of i. E. Bateman, secretary of the
organization in this town with 800,
being the weekly appropriation from
the international body to maintain a
strike in progress in this place.
Most of the members of the local
union are employees of Phillips e.
Casey big electrotypting and printing
works there and have been on a strike
for several weeks, Money in aid of
the strikers and their families has
been sent each week from national
headquarters. Last week after having
the weekly check cashed as usual at
the Champlain National bank at Cham
plain, Bateman returned to Rouses
Point and informed his fellow work
men that the check was incorrectly
signed and he had been obliged to re-
turn it to headquarters for correction
as the bank would not cash it. That
night he skipped out, and the facts

THE POISONING OF HORSES.

Horses are often seriously poisoned
and sometimes killed by eating hay
containing the so called "foxtail, "
" horsetail," "pinetop," meadow
pine" or rush." known botanically
as Equisetum arvense. This fact has
been conclusively proved by expert
ments made at the Vermont Expert
ment Station. Many practical farm
ers and horsemen became convinced
years ago that this kind of poisoning
occurs, but their observations have
disagreed and contradicted until the
matter had to be settled by scientific
experiment.
These experiments have been con.

DEVICE FOR COW MILKING.

Machinery having been applied to
almost everything else is now being
adapted to milking cows An ingen.
ious farmer and mechanic from Iowa
have patented COW milking device
on the vacuum principle.
The apparatus consists of can pro-
vided with an air pump by which the
air in the can may be exhausted to a
certain degree of rarefaction indicat-
ed by vacuum gauge at the top \
flexible tube is connected at one end
with the can and at the other with
the cows udder, by means of four
teatcups.
AS soon as sufficient amount of air
has been exhausted from the can the
teats are placed in the cups and the
stopcocks opened. This causes the air
to be drawn inward, making an air
tight joint. The suction then draws
the milk through the hose into the
can.
A pneumatic ring in each cup pre-
vents injury to the COW and an outer
adjustable cylinder prevents the teats
being drawn in too far. The lower
part of each cup is glass so that the
operator is able to watch the proper
working of the milking process.
The device is said to have been
tried on Iowa COWS with the result
that after while they don't object to
it. Its advantage is supposed to be
that it lessons the chances of conta-
gion from germs.

COST OF PLANT FOOD.

When one buys commercial fertiliz-
ers he must pay about twelve cents
per pound wholesale for nitrogen, six
cents for phosphoric acid, and four
cents for potash, says Prof. Henry in
Breeders Gazette. On this basis the
farmers and gardeners of the United
States pay over $50, 600, 600 a year for
these various ingredients in their fer
tilizers and the prices they pay per
unit pound are higher than the figure
quoted, which are wholesale prices
Often they buy cottonseed meal on
this basis to use in their gardens, to-
bacco fields, and even corn fields in
order that they may have remunera-
tive crops. What an opportunity then
is there to stockmen feeding cattle in
the utilization of these various by
products rich in fertility. The grown
steer while being fattened does not
take out for his own use and retain
in his body more than about five per
cent of the fertility ingredients con-
tanned in the feeding stuff given him
Starch, sugar, woody fibre and oil
which any feeding stuff contains and
which the animal largely extracts
from the food given him are not use
full for fertilizing the soil, while the
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
which the fattening animal does not
permanently extract III large meas
ure from the feeds are the compounds
which are valuable for enriching the
soil.

Mr. Hubbard was helpless from an

worse and worse, month by month

then he could not walk, then he could
not even raise hand to feed himself

GONE TO THE SILENT CITY.

SEATTLE. CWashD, May 14.-The
man who originated the famous silent
city story, or the Muir glacier mirage,
died here last night, aged IS years. He
was known from California to Alaska
as Dick, but his real name was Richard
G.. Willoughby. He was a pioneer of
San Francisco, a pioneer of Alaska and
one of the discoveries of the Caribou
and also the Carriar mining districts.
At different times during his adventu-
rous career he was quite wealthy, but
the yellow dust refused to stick to his
fingers. The exact place of his birth
is not known. He leaves relatives
somewhere in Missouri.
In 1S4S Willoughby crossed the plains
and mountains from Missouri, and was
in San Francisco at the time of the '49
mining excitement, and, keeping a lit
tie ahead of development, followed the
coast until he landed in Alaska. He is
credited with discovering the site of
Juneau and most of the recognized min
ing points in Southeastern Alaska, He
was a great practical joker and this
interferred with the CredenCe that other
wise would have been given to many OF
his alleged discoveries in natural his
tory.
Last fall Willoughby disposed of his
property on "Funtus bay" and moved
to Seattle. Poor health caused him to
enter a hospital in January last. Death
was due to a complication of diseases.

Them.

last evening at the residence of F. j.
Lowrey. The topic of discussion was
land titles and registration, discussed
in an address by =. l.. Weaver, who
pointed out defects in the present Ha-
waiian system, leading to confusion
end uncertainty in titles. These condi-
lions have caused much litigation and
threaten to cause great deal more.
Weaver spoke of the TorTens system
as the best one known, and explained
its workings.
Deputy Registrar c. II. Merriam also
spoke in favor of the Torrens system
and George b. Mcclellan moved that
a committee be appointed to investi-
gate this and other systems in opera
ton in the United States, and report
to the club. The motion was carried
1t is proposed to have a bill prepared
for the next Legislature, so that the
matter of land transfers and land titles
may be Strengthened out by the adop-
ton of some safe system, which will
clear titles and prevent the legal COM
plicatiOns which provide so much of
the litigation in Hawaiian courts.
