coIorina oIeomaraarIne.

The Internal Revenue Department
of the United States has issued rules

that no butter containing color ing

ing like butter, will be subject to a
tax of only u of one cent per pound.
This seems to US a reasonable regu-
lation. It is well-known that butter
enters to a considerable extent into
the composition of some brands of
oleomargarine. The law recognizes
this and no effort has been made to
prevent this use of butter. At least
we may feel certain that the combi-
nation OF q small amount Of butter

Natural Winter Iau.r.

In choosing fowls for winter laying
one must be governed a good deal by
the origin of the breeds. Thus it is
not to be expected that birds of the
Mediterranean class or those deriv-
ing their origin from India would
prove as good layers in the far north
as birds that originate in regions far
north. The Mediterranean classes
are without doubt good layers, but
for the coolest weather in say Wis
consin we would expect to have the
best result from the offspring of such
breeds as those that have been kept
in North China for a thousand years
and have thus been hardened in their
ancestry. The breed characteristics
will crop out often even in the laying
qualities of the birds. This is in
direct accord with the experience of
the farmers of this country. Some
years ago the Farmers Review sent
out inquiries as to what fowls had
been found to be the best winter lay
ers. A large number of answers were
received, and the majority of the re-
plies favored the Black Langshan
The Black Langshans are from north
China, a region where the mercury
sinks down sometimes to 40 degrees
below zero. For summer layers we
'ould Select some breed from tropical
or semi-tropical regions, such as the
Leghorns and the games, but for
winter layers we would select al
ways birds that have originated in
colder climates.

Extensive cinars.

One reads from time to time of the
fabulous sums paid for cigars. A fav-
orite story is that Mr.. Chamberlain
never touches anything cheaper than
a 5-shil1ing cigar, and that every time
Lord Rothschild smokes ten shi1lings
vanish into the ambient air. Accord
ing to Mr.. Weingott, the well-known
tobacco merchant, all such stories are
the purest invention. AS far as nero
quality of tobacco goes, the best cigar
in the world can be purchased for
shilling sixpence. and anyone who
gives more than this sum is paying
for size, peculiar shape or for some
peculiar brand which is only valuable
for its rarity and not for its excel
lence. Those torpedo-like cigars which
one sees in tobacconists' windows in
cased in glass 'sheaths are mainly
traps to catch the unwary. The most
remarkable thing about them is their
size and their startling variation in
price according to the locality In
which they are sold. In the West End
they are priced at anything between
Ell and 15s; in the less gilded pre-
cincts of the city they are sold for

The Bronze Turkey.

The bronze turkey is at the present
time without a rival The large size
and hardness are not eQualled by
any other Of this genus without
doubt in the two respects mentioned
they will never be excelled, as the
fanciers that are handling them will
doubtless continue to improve them,
and will in that way keep pace with
the Improvement of less important
breeds. The bronze variety was pro-
duced by crossing the wild turkey
cock upon the domestic turkey hen,
and the produce was afterward i'm
proved by careful selection and breed
ing. Cocks of this variety have been
known to weigh from 80 to 40 pounds
and the hens as high as 25 pounds
The query naturally arises, What
weights will be attained In the next
fifty years, If the present rate Of
progress is kept up?" Young COB
blers have weighed as high as 20
pounds at eight months Of age and
young turkey hens have frequently
attained a weight of Is pounds.

Speaking OF new things, there is a
French bedstead which provides for
the individual who reads after going

There are single iron beds. and in
the top of the rather high head is set
an electric light. A reading desk is
attached to bar. which crosses the
head of the bedstead and can be
raised above it when required. There
are disadvantages to this light, which
must shine in the eyes as well as on
the book or paper.
Better arrangements are made In
some of our big hotels. There is ar
ranged at one side of the bed an arm
with an electric light attached, which
can be pulled over the bed at the will
of the occupant, and is below the
eyes, though quite high enough for
the light to fall upon the book.
The top of the electric light globe
is covered with a dark green shade,
and none of the light can go up.

Balanced Rations for cbiek..

Rhode Island Experiment Station:
One mixture of seeds was made as
follows, at the suggestion of the pouI-
tryman: For chicks from one day to
six weeks old: Mix four parts cracked
oats, one of fine cracked wheat, two
Of rolled oats, one-half of millet seed.
one-half of broken rice, aid two of
fine scraps. For the first two weeks
we have added one pint of miIIet seed
leaving out scraps during the first
week. Boiled eggs, three for each
fifty chicks, have also been fed.
After six weeks and up to ten
weeks feed the following mixture:
Mix four parts cracked corn, two of
fine cracked corn, one of rolled oats,
one-half of millet, one-half of broken
rice, one Of grit and two of scraps.
For chicks kept in the colony sys-
tenn give for grain, three parts wheat
and four OF cracked corn. Also give
the following mash three times per
week, and daily after ten weeks: Mix
one part ground corn, one of ground
oats. and one Of brown shorts.
To feed the meat scraps we made
the seed feed into a mash with boil
ing water, mix the scraps with it.,
and covered the mass until il was
well steamed. This mash seems to
hasten the growth of the chicks.
While it seemed necessary to feed the
youngest chicks rather oftener, those
ten days old were fed mash in the
morning. green food at noon, and dry
seeds at night.

Compulsory House Service.

Probably compulsory domestic ser
vice will have to be resorted to some
day. That will not only help to solve
a difficult problem, but it will also
lift the social stigma on the kitchen

military service for men is common
enough, and even Australia will al
most certainly find it necessary some
day. Compulsory domestic service for
women-say from the age of 10 to 81

j. w. Hart: Perhaps the greatest
leak in creameries is inefficient skim
ming, through using inferior separa-

the following: Overlooking the sepa-
rator, separating at too low tempera-
lures, the bowl not running steadily,
or at too low speed. a separator that
will skim 5000 pounds of milk in the
spring, should have it's capacity cut
down to $500 in the fall to do equally
clean skimming where the speed and
temperature remain the same. The
skim milk should be tested daily, and
the information gained by testing
the skim milk should be used in reg
ulating the various factors that go to
make clean skimming. With q good

fat in the skim milk, as compared
with the loss in running fairly good
