Cowhide, Calfskin, and Sheepskin, and I'll q
Uses to Which They Are Chiefly Put
White cowhide has long been used
for various purposes, though its place
has now been taken to considerable
extent by other and cheaper feathers.
1t is used, for example, in making sus-
pender tips, and its use in making mill
tary belts is familiar. For this pur-
pose it is made up with .ue flesh side
out, and the belts are whitened as oc-
casion may require with chalk or pipe
clay. White calfskin is more extens-
lively used than white cowhide. White
calf is used for fine and costly work in
book binding, it may be for gift books,
and sometimes for prayer books. White
calf is also used for suspender TIPS.
More extensively used than either
white cowhide or white calfskin are
the white sheepskins. White sheep
skin is used also for suspender tips.
and for covering trusses and other ar
ticles Of metal, and for the trimmings
of shoes. It is used for book binding,
especially for the binding of medical
books, in which use it is first sprinkled
with a coloring material which gives it
a notified appearance.

Poultry Short Course in Connecticut.

Poultry Short Course In Connecticut.
The Connecticut Agricultural college
is taking up the work of instruction in
poultry science in earnest. A short
course in poultry has just been an
nounced for this winter. 1t begins
Jan. Z. Their announcement contains
the following: In view of the growing
demands for all kinds of poultry prod
ucts and of the natural conditions of
soil and location, as well as the good
home markets, we believe our state Of
fers exceptional advantages for this
branch of farming. The poultry de-
partment is we'll equipped with some of
the finest specimens of the leading
breeds Of fowls, and with incubators,
brooders and other facilities to aid in
giving valuable instruction. The course
will include classroom instruction in
such subjects as breeds of fowls, breed
ing, selection, care, feeding, embry-
ology, incubating, brooding and dis
eases of poultry. 1t will include, also,
laboratory and practical work in dress
ing and preparing fowls for market, in
caponizing, in the management of in
cubators and breeders, in the general
care of fowls and in the construction
Of poultry houses. The afternoon of
each day will be given up mainly to
practical work. sd

Value of Corn in La,nb Fseatnr

When clover hay is used as the ba.
sis of feed in fattening lambs, corn is
perhaps the best grain to use in con-
junction with the clover. This may
not figure out in the theoretical bal
anced ration, but actual use has quite
generally established it. In the figur.
ing out of balanced ration only the
actual proteins and carbohydrates are
taken into consideration. We have
yet to deal with the effects on the
digestion of the various oils in grains;
which oils may constitute a real value
in ration. We have in mind the
experiments carried on for some years
at the Michigan station, where pens
of lambs were fattened on clover in
combination with oats and bran. Lots

either In whole or in part, produced
the best gains. were apparently in bet.
ter finish, and in general were fed at
a greater profit than the lots receiving
bran and oats. The bran proved to IS
an inferior fattening material. It is
also a tact theoretically: sustained that
bran and oats are not . good balance
for clover.

An Important Discovery.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 13.-A sensational
statement is made by Mr.. BENJAMIN
Major, whose home is at the corner Of
Jane and Hurlbut Ave-, this city.
Mr.. Major says that he has found a
remedy which will positively cure all
Kidney and Bladder troubles. He suf-
fered himself for a long time with these
diseases in the most painful form, and
during his illness experimental with q
great many medicines without getting
any relief. Finally, he tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills. and. to his great joy, was
cured completely.
The statement he makes seems to
have ample confirmation in reports be-
ing published every day of wonderful
cures by this remedy.

Look Out for Good Feeds.

Farmers in the West need to be
especially careful as to the feeds they
buy. A communication from the New
York Experiment Station warns the
farmers of that state in the following
language:
Farmers of New York state will
have to buy large amounts of feed
this winter. Prices will be high. Only
by most careful purchase and we'll con-
sidered feeding methods will it be
possible to feed at a profit or even to
escape loss. Bulletin No. 1913 of the
Station at Geneva is reliable guide
to the buyer in selecting commercial
concentrated feeding stuffs; for it
records results Of most careful inspec-
ton OF goods of this class on the mar
k,t during the season. Every dealer
and every feeder who buys "concen.
trates" should secure and study the
bulletin. 1t will be sent free by the
Station authorities. There were found
on sale in New York state during 1901,
six brands of cotton seed neal five
Of linseed meal, six of hominy and
sugar corn feeus, six proprietary mixed
feeds and two poultry feeds, which
were sold illegally. Besides these
there were many brands which were
sold at exorbitant prices for the food
nutrients supplied or which were com.
posed in part of practically worthless
materials.
For instance, one brand of cotton
seed meal, selling at prices equal to
those for prime goods contained but "a
per cent of protein, instead Of 43 to 46
per cent as did the others. OF oat
feeds. several were found with from
20 to 80 per cent of fiber, while whole
ground oats contains about IL per

were quite numerous which contained
from 13 to 10 per cent of fiber, while
other mixed feeds Of similar char

rounds Of the Roman press. An old

When the letter was handed to tho
king, he read it with a smile, and then
bade his chamberlain take it to tho
princess and read it to her. The cham
berlain went to the baby and gravely
read the letter aloud to her, and then
returned to the king.
'Well,' said the king. what did the
princess say?"

From the Farmers Review: Accord.
ing to my experience, proper housing
Is the greatest factor in securing
strongly fertile eggs in winter or sum-
mer. Warm, dry houses in winter and
cool, airy houses in summer promotes
health, and healthy fowl lay fertile
eggs. Feeding influences the fertility
OF eggs just as much, and no more
than it has to do with the health Of
the fowl. If the food is the proper
Kind to promote health, eggs will be
fertile, other conditions being right.
If the food is wrong the health of the
fowl will suffer and fertility will be
low. Green bone fed in proper guam
titles promotes health and vigor and
causes eggs to be strongly fertile. In
our opinion the most important points
to be observed in order to secure
strong fertility are as follows in the
order named: Proper housing, proper
feeding. exercise and medium-sized
flocks. We keep the Light Brahmas
only, as we find this splendid breed
has all the good qualities of the small.
er breeds, such as good layers, good
broilers, small or large roasters, and,
besides, you can sell year old Brah-
ma cockerel and get the highest price
paid for roasters, because they do not
get hard and have long spurs. l have
shipped in the spring cockerels 10 or
II months old that weighed from 10
to IL pounds and got 10 cents per
pound live weight. Any other breed
would have had long spurs and brought
the same as old cocks.-Philip #,
