Did Martinique Earthquake Cause Jar in
Woodbury.

Professor William A. Eddy, of Bayonne
the noted scientist on earth tremors and
volcanic disturbances, says that the shock
felt at II. 80 O'Clock on Tuesday morning,
May 6, were probably tremors incident to
the terrible volcanic eruptions reported
from st. Pierre, Island of Martinique,
where over 10000 souls are said to have
persisted.
Professor Eddy says he feels confident
that when the report of the exact date Of
the disturbances at Martinique reach this
country they will be found to correspond
with the date the shocks were felt at some
places along the Atlantic seabord.
His seismographs or earth tremor re-
corders located in New York, have recorded
no earth waves or disturbances of any
kind. He declares, however, that All
examination of six sky-scrapers in New
York, developed the fact that vibration
had been felt in two. He also says that q
slight tremor was felt in Hemstead, L. l.,
on the evening of May 6, at O'Clock.

Dispatches from Southern Missouri
state that hundreds Of farmers in the
Ozark hills of Missouri and Northern
Arkansas, who suffered severely by
last summers drouth. have been re-

An official publication Of the Kansas
station says: The Kansas Experiment
Station has tried both ropes and
stanchions. and finds that using the
latter is the simplest and best means
of holding calves while they are being
fed. Calves will also learn to eat
grain much quicker than when fed in
an open pen. With stanchions, each
calf finds its place and the feeder can
set the milk pail in the feed trough,
which prevents 1t being tipped over,
and while the calf is drinking can
measure out the milk for the next calf.
In this way 1t is possible for a man to
keep three or four pals going. until
all the calves are fed. II grain is put
into the feed trough at once the calf
will go to eating, and forget about its
friendly but impolite and unsanitary
affection for his neighbors' ears or
mouth. Calves fed in this way can be
let loose again fifteen minutes after
entering the stanchions. The agricul-
tural college has found that excellent
Of plain fencing for the upright pieces,
with .two-by-fours for the horizontal
pieces at the top, with fencing boards
at the bottom. The stanchions are
forty-two inches high, twenty-eight
inches apart from center to center. and
allow for four and one-half inches
space for the neck. The feed trough is
twelve inches wide, four inches deep,
and runs the full length Of the stsnch-
ion. II calves are fastened by rope
ties, they should be far enough apart
to prevent them from sucking each
other.

Clandeboye, the home of the late
Lord Dufferin in County Down, pos
sesses a unique curiosity, reports the
London Chronicle. In it's park stands
the famous "Helen's Tower" which
Lord Dufferin built in honor of his
mother, some fifty years ago. This
tiny tower, which looks down upon st.
Georges channel and obtains glimpses
both of the Scottish coast and the Isle
of Man, is really a miniature house,
with sitting and bedroom, kitchen and
servants room. Here hangs the en-
blematic silver lamp presented by the
much loved mother to her son, while q
tablet on the wall bears, in golden let
ters, the lines addressed by Lord Duff
ferin to her son upon his coming of
age. Tennyson's poem on the tower Is
too well known to need quotation; but

the work and yet not injure the poults;

impossible to grow turkeys and lice

Poultry Briefs.

At the Wisconsin Roundup tnsti-
tute last week, Mrs. Ida Tillson spoke
of her experiences in poultry raising.
She said she had tried twenty-three
different breeds. OF these the White
Wyandottes seem to be gaining most
public recognition at this time. They
have largely taken the lead in the
shows and were surprisingly strong at
the Chicago show in January.
It costs about 25 cents to bring
chick to the fullest stage. That is in
elusive of the original cost of the egg
and Of care and housing it to the
period mentioned. II pullet does
not lay before she is six months old
there has been some trouble with the
system of feeding. According to the
experience of Mrs. Tillson, it costs
about 60 cents to board a hen for q
year.
Most people that raise hens have no
idea of what the food costs they give
their fowls. If they try to keep &C
count of their expenses in that regard
very likely the grain feed will not be
separated from that destined for other
farm animals, and under such condi-
tons accuracy is impossible. The
grain destined for the fowls should be
weighed and placed by itself SO that
it will be possible to determine from
time to time the exact amount used.
One woman complains that even this
method is not effective in her case, as
her husband invariably feeds his Wis
itsr's horses out of her grain.
A bone grinder Is OF prime import
ance, this lady asserts. and every per-
son that keeps as many OF SO fowls
should have one. In her case ST
mill was purchased, as she desired to
be sure OF its value before investing
any larger sum in 1t. The smaller
mill does very well indeed, but will
not take in the shin bones and joints.
A SIS machine is preferable. By the
aid of this machine an average OF las
eggs per hen has been obtained from
the flock. People tell about fiocks
that average 200 eggs per fowl, but it
is very doubtful if there are any large
flocks doing that well. Here and there
are fowls that lay 200 or more eggs per
year, but they do better than the aver
age.

Strong bone and lean meat are es,
sentia} to a hardy race OF swine, as has
been shown by the Investigations car
ried on by our experiment stations.
Those same Investigations have shown
that corn as a swine food has limita
tons. 1t is the proper food for fatten-
ing swine, but it is not the best food
for building the frame that is to carry
the fat For the development Of the
frame clover is one of the cheapest
and best foods. Grass is good where
clover cannot be obtained. These two
may be fed as pasture, and their har-
vesting and subsequent handling is
thus avoided. Milk is great frame
builder. Roots play minor part in
the ration, but can be fed to advantage
with other feeds. The eaters Of DIRK
naturally prefer pork made in this
way to that made by feeding a whole
corn ration. When the fattening tina
approaches the feed should be changed
gradually from the kind we have men
toned to whole corn.

Fred III. Rankin says: Do not At
tach undue Importance to popular
strains that happen to be fashionable.
or TO fancy as to color OF hair. etc.,
provided that you do not get outside
the color of the breed. But l would
emphasize the giving Of special regard
to vigor of constitution, robustness.
and capacity for digestion and asstmi-
lation. Some of our more observant
breeders are coming to think that An
some OF our breeds Of swine, the pro-
cess OF refining the bone and tighten
ing the framework has been carried
very near to the danger line. and the
time has come to emphatically call
halt In that direction. Too little atten-
ton is being given to securing sturdy
straight limbs and strong upright feet,
whereby the pig Is able to stand
sQuarely and steadily on its feet.
Among the Objectionable features to
be guarded against are the long. slen-
der, pipestem legs ending in slim, un-
certain ankles and weak feet, together
with failure to carry the meat OF the
ham full and well down toward the
hook. The strong arched back, the wei.
sprung rib, the full heart girt, the
broad shoulders, the deep ham, the
strong underpinning, the strong.
shapely foot-these are among tbs
more vital points to be observed In
the building up OF good and thor
oughly useful herd of hogs. These are
the points chiefly sought after by in
tel1igent farmers and breeders. An at
tempt at the combination of as many
of these good points as possible in the
shaping Of the farm herd is good
thing.

From Farmers Review: When the
bodies out from uader the hen remove
them from the nest. Give two matches
to one hen after busting the hen with
fresh lice powder and greasing her legs
with lard, remove to clean, warm,
rain-proof coop that is placed In small
pen, say 1sx1S feet, the pen fenced in
with foot wide poultry netting prefer
ably, but boards are about as good
though not as handy. The advantage
OF the netting is that the poufts cannot
see to get over 1t as we'll as they can
the planks. 1t is necessary to have
the coop in some pen OF else have
some one on the watch constantly, for
the poults will wander away from the
others if they have any chance at all;
they are SO very silly.
Have the pen on grassy plat, IL
possible, but have the grass very short
else the dew on 1t will damp the poults
enough to cause their becoming
chilled, and If this does not result in
death it surely will in bowel trouble.
For the first few weeks 1t Is best to
feed nothing but wheat bread soaked
I'm sweet milk OF water, and milk curds.
Pepper this thickly with black pepper
once per day and mix 1t thickly with
sharp sand twice per week for their
breakfast. Feed rather often, bat never
