Editor Colored American:
Dear Dir: | will say that | have
studied the American Negro both in
the North and in the South, and | will
say that l find that his almost total
lack of respect for his own people
does more to keep him down than any
thing else of which | know. Not being
accustomed to treating his own people
with courtesy and respect, of course
he does not know how to behave him
self or how to act when he is away
from home, or when he is working for
those of another race. The most SEN
Sible thing that the American Negro
can do is to begin treating his own
people with the courtesy and respect
that is due from one lady or gentleman
to another, and then he will be certain
to conduct himself properly when he
comes in contact with those of other
races. a large number of cOlOred
people have lost good paying positions,
and the reasons given by their employ
ers for diSmiSSing them was that they
were not attentive to their duties
This fnattentiOn to duty is only Il
polite way their employers have of
saying that they were so insulting,
meddlesOme and Obtrusive that no one
could work in peace and harmony in
the same room with them. Conduct
yourself as lady or a gentleman when
you are dealing with your own people,
and you will be sure to conduct your
self properly when you come in con-
tact with others.

Killing Fowls.

In the poultry industry, as in every
other, attractive marketing is an i'm
portant feature, and one too often
overlooked. Many OF the products
marketed by the farmer do not realize
high prices owing to lack of proper
packing, or because some special re-
Quirement of the consumer is not COM
piled with. The Canadian experiment
stations have devoted considerable at
tention to the poultry industry. Spe-
cial efforts have been made to learn
the requirements of the English mar
ket. In a recent report of the Cana
dian Commissioner of Agriculture and
Dairying, the methods OF dressing,
packing and shipping poultry for Brit
ish markets are discussed. Some of
the directions for shipping turkeys
seem of general application. Among
the principal points are the following:
Plucked turkeys are regarded as
more salable than unplucked. Fast
the birds for twenty-four hours, to
empty the crop and intestines. The
fermentation of food in the crops and
intestines will wholly spoil the birds.
Give small quantity of water Just
before killing. Kill by wringing the
neck, and not by knitting or sticking.
One dealer says the easiest and best
mode of killing is by the dislocation
Of the neck. This manner of killing is
generally adopted by the English and
continental poulterers. It is done as
follows: Grasp the legs Of the bird In
the left hand and the head OF the bird
in the right hand, the back OF the
bird heing upward and the crown OF
the head in the hollow OF the hand.
Hold the legs of the bird against the

Los. of Moisture in Incubator.

Bulletin 73, West Virginia Station:
The chick absorbs oxygen and mois
ture and certain gases are thrown of
through the shell. Under normal con-
ditions the total amount of moisture
and gases which have been thrown off
at any particular time corresponds to
that particular stage in the develop
ment of the chick, or in other words,
when an egg is incubated under per-
fectly normal conditions the total loss
in the weight of the egg corresponds,
within certain limits, to the stage of
development OF the embryo. II the
operator of an incubator knows how
much a certain number of eggs have
lost in weight since the beginning of
the incubating period and compares
this loss with the normal loss of the
same number of eggs for the same
length OF time he will know definitely
whether the eggs have decreased prop
erly in weight. II they have lost too
much, providing OF course that the
temperature has been normal they
are drying up too rapidly, and either
more moisture should be supplied, or
the amount of ventilation should be
reduced, but in reducing the circula-
tion OF air through the incubating
chamber it must be remembered that
pure air surrounding the eggs is just
as important as proper temperature;
on the other hand, IL the eggs are not
losing weight as rapidly as they should
they are either kept too moist, or they
are not receiving the proper amount
OF ventilation. or perhaps they may be
kept too moist and insufficiently ven.

c. p. Lewis: When we undertake to
point out the qualities Of the farm
horse in particular we hnd 1t very
hard to do so, for the simple reason
that the farm horse is and must be a
general purpose horse. The draft
horse, the roadster, the saddle horse
each is fitted for one particular place.
But one horse cannot fill two places
and fill both as we'll as the horse that
has been bred for one place and fills
that one. The farm horse is not a
dual-purpose horse, but a plural pur-
pose horse. He must not do two KINDS
of work but a great many kinds Of
work on the farm-heavy work and
light work, quick work and slow work
and in great many cases must
serve as riding and driving horse too.
Therefore 1t is hard to determine
what is the best type for a farm horse.
Every farmer must decide for himself
according to his circumstances-the
relative amount Of heavy anG light
work that he has to do, the nature Of
the land that he farms, etc; and in
case he wants to do his farming with
DreeulnS mares nc must Idhe lhto az
count the kind OF horse he wants
to raise. On large farms, where the
services of several teams are required,
some heavy and some light horses
may be used to advantage. But the
small farmer who can keep but one
or at most two teams, and especially
one who farms hilly land, will find 1t
best, | think to keep light horses

A well-known writer on the care OF
horses has this to say about the mare
and her foal: The mare and her foal
should be kept in a loose box, where
she should be supplied with plenty Of
good foou, with an occasional bran
mash. AS soon as the weather is fine
enough, they should be allowed to run
together on the grass by day, being
brought in by night at first. Late
foals are sometimes never brought in
to the box at ALL The mare should be
allowed to run with her foal at least
month before she is put to any
work. A nursing mare is usually in
a weak condition, and works family
consequently she should only be put
at light work Before the mare is re-
turned to the foal after working, she
should have a little milk taken off, as
the first milk after her exertion may
act injuriously on the young foal The
foal should be weaned after 1t is five
or six months old. BY this time the
little animal will have learned to eat
grass and a little crushed oats or
meal. If possible, foal should not be
weaned alone, as it often frets with
out company. In the event of breed
er having but one, 1t would be we'll for
him to make an arrangement with the
nearest neighbor having one, by
which the two may run together. In
this case they might be kept on each
farm alternately.

this matter that he had been asked to
pass upon plays submitted by titled
folk, but he had found nothing that

said he had also received applications
for places in his company from per-
sons whose claim to high social rank
were unquestioned. Most of them, he
said, were young women whose

atrical career less ON account of any

INAcECTION OF IMPORTED ANIMAI6
The secretary OF agriculture says:
In order to prevent the introduction
of animal plaques an inspection SER
vice is maintained at our principal
seaports and along our frontier. Quar-
antine stations have been established
for animals coming from countries
where contagious disease exists. There
were quarantined at these stations
during last year 500 cattle, 525 sheep,
81 swine and lis animals for menag.
cries and geological parks. There
were also admitted, after inspection
and in some cases quarantine, over
242, 900 animals from Canada and about
100000 from Mexico. The examina-
tion of this vast aggregate Of imported
animals, amounting in all to over a
third OF million, is a most RESPONSE
BILE task, but so far 1t has been sue
cessfully conducted, and none OF the
exotic plaques OF the domesticated an
lmals has been allowed to reach our
territory. With our enormous invest
ment in animals that are susceptible
to such plaques, 1t is clearly a duty
which the government owes to our
stock raisers to maintain this inspec-
tion and quarantine with the utmost
rigidity. The ravages of the rlnder-
pest as it is sweeping over the African
continent should be an object lesson
indicating the terrible destruction
which such a disease would cause
among our immense herds of valuable
stock.
The tremendous possibilities Of loss
from imported contagion suggest that
| possibly the time has come when II
might be we'll for us to consider
whether II would not be best for us to
follow the example of Great Britain
and exclude entirely live stock from
other countries. Inspection and quar-
antine, however, carefully and con-
scientiously performed, are acknowl-
edged by most countries to be only a
relative and not an absolute guaranty
| of protection. Should not our animal
industry have the most complete safe
guards thrown around it which the
experience of the world has shown to
be required for the most absolute and
perfect protection? In this connection
we are reminded that some Of the ter
ritory which has recently come under
our flag t. believed to be infected with
animal plaques and parasites unknown
to the United States, and that may
work great injury If they are trans
ported to our soil. 1t would appear to
be wise for such legislation to be en-
acted as would provide against ami
mails from this territory being allowed
to enter our ports, whether these an
imals are brought by individuals OF
returning troops.

Prof V. A. Moore, of Cornell Univer-
sity, says The difficulties involved in
procuring milk reasonably free from
bacteria in our large cities do not rest
entirely with the producer. The meth
cd of transportation is quite as impor-
tant. Milk may be produced under
the best of conditions, cooled at once to
the required temperature at which 1t
is delivered for transportation. II,
however, it's temperature is allowed to
rise to 60 degrees F., or above during
the time 1t is in transit, the bacteria
present will multiply, producing acids
and by-products. so that when deliv-
cred the milk has become markedly. II
not seriously, changed. AS care of the
milk required in the course of trans
portation is simply to have 1t put in
clean cans and kept at low tempera-
ture, there is no reason why milk can
not be shipped hundreds of miles and
be delivered in a perfectly sweet and
wholesome condition. The details of
the methods for keeping it at low
temperature must, of course, be worked
out by all shippers as they have sue
cessfully been by some milk companies.
The only requisite that the consumer
demands in the transportation is. that
the low temperature be maintained.

Cheesemaking is a very important
branch OF the dairy industry OF France.
1t is estimated that the annual product
of cheese Of all kinds reaches 100000

added from 25,000,000 to $4,000, 900
