1u1 PROPOSED BRITISH GRAIN TARIFF.

The nroposed war revenue tax to De
imposed on breadstuffs by the BRUSH
government is a matter of great inter-
est to the grain producers of this coun-
try. The tax will amount to apoa. .
cents ON each bushel of grain admitted
to the English ports, and the old ques-
tion of who pays the tax comes up IN
the mind of the American grain pro-
Queer and exporter. Secretary OF Asri-
culture Wilson believes that the burden
viii be about evenly distributed be-
s tween the English consumer and the
American or Russian producer. me
limited States, as the largest dealer
with that country, will suffer most,
over $500, 100000 worth of grain having
been sold by us to Great Britain in
year.
If Americans feel a resentment to-
ward war revenue measure that
comes home to them In reducing the
net value Of their agricultural products
how much more resentment ni.Ass ~
eign powers feel toward the United
tates when they constantly suffer thru
the protective tariffs of the United
States! And the necessity of recipro-
cal treaty with the nations to whom we
sell and of whom we buy is thoroughly
emphasized by the probable consequen-
ces of the proposed British war revenue
tariff.

Cool Market Poultry.

When large quantities of dressed
poultry are to be shipped to distant
markets thorough cooling should take
place before packing. When barrel
of still warm poultry is put into a
car there is danger that it will spoil
before being taken out. even though
ice is packed around it. The outside
of the package and for few inches
inward are rendered cool, but not. the
inside. Most shippers of chickens
think that if the consignment is to
be iced all has been done that IL nee
essary for Its keeping. Experience
has shown otherwise. It is little
trouble to get the meat thoroughly
cold before being packed. This is
especially the case in cold weather.
Yet that little" trouble will result in
having the stock come to the market
in good shape.

How . Hen Feeds.

Observe how the hen feeds when out
on the range. Il It. is first blade Of
grass or leaf OF clover. then a short
chase for a grasshopper or cricket.
She now discovers a soft spot in the
soil which she believes worth invests
eating. and sets to work with the
mining tools nature has given her
with q view Of finding out II II Is
pay dirt" A fuzzy weed he'd Is In
her path and she stops to shatter
down few Of the ripened seeds. She
is drawn away from this repast by
another grasshopper which springs
down In front of her and jumps away
again just in time to save himself
from the dash which she has made at
him. In place of the grasshopper
which she didn't get she nips another
clover leaf or blade of grass. Thus
the hen feeds a little at a time and
consumes hours in obtaining q full
meal. 1t seems that people who see
this every day might know, that throw
ing down a measure of shelled corn
on bare spot is not the way to feed
the hens. And those who do this re-
ceive conclusive proof that there is
something wrong with their feeling
during the time of year when the hen
has no choice Of food, but must live
on what Is given her by the owner

Licensed Judges for Poultry.

1t has been suggested that for poul.
try shows there should be judges
licensed by the American Poultry AS
ISOLATION. The scheme may be good
one, but we would suggest that it
would be better to have judges that
have passed good examinations and
been licensed by some of our agri-
cultural colleges that make poultry
culture branch of instruction. We
are strongly of the opinion that much
of the judging at poultry shows is of
very unscientific character. Ger
tainly no one should be selected as q
Judge who is not fully qualified and
because man has raised poultry all
his life is no reason why he should
be selected as judge. He may have
been following erroneous methods all
his life, OF course. we recognize the
fact that after Judge is licensed
there will be no way of compelling the
managers of poultry shows to hire
him for the work of judging. The
moral effect, however, of having the
license will be good. and we think
the unlicensed judges would soon dis.
appear.

When Milk Is Re iected.

A New Zealand milk inspector says:
Human nature is such that few sup
pliers can look pleasant when their
milk is rejected, therefore there is all
the more reason why the man In
charge of the weigh stand should ex-
ercise the greatest care in dealing
with matter of this kind. The main
keep cool-be courteous, and never
act or use language which will wound
or annoy. remember once seeing a
manager returning a can of inferior
milk, and through some carelessness
on his part in handling the hoist, the
contents Of twenty-gallon can were
poured over the unfortunate supplier.
1t is needless to say that this supplier
Tin his half drowned condition) was
not In proper frame of mind to re-
ceive hints on the care of milk at
the farm. mention this fact merely
to show that it is highly important
on the part of the manager, to avoid
giving the milk supplier any cause
for complaint, for if the confidence
OF the supplier in the ability of the
manager is shaken, it matters not
whether it is in judging the milk or
any other branch of the work-his
judgment will not be accepted as re-.
liable or his decisions as final. Every
manager should endeavor to prove to
the supplier who delivers tainted milk
that such milk is inferior in quality.
This can be done by the application
of the curd or fermentation test. If
the test is properly manipulated it will
strengthen the hands of the manager,
and If its results do not appeal to the
offending supplier, some more strin.
gent measures should be taken.

Bad Policy to Mix Eggs for Sale.

Bad Policy 10 Mix Eggs for Sale.
It is bad policy to mix eggs of
different degrees of freshness for the
purpose OF making the fresh eggs sell
the poor ones. 1t quite uniformly
results in the bad eggs pulling down
the value Of the good eggs. Instead
of the buyer being fooled and paying
fresh-egg prices for stale eggs, the
seller gets fooled and receives for the
fresh eggs he has mixed in the lot
only stale-egg prices. The grocery
man that buys the eggs from the COM
mission merchant Is wise enough to
set his price on the value of the poor
est eggs and not on. the value of the
best. If any good eggs were sent to
market the consumption of eggs
would be enormously increased, or
rather the demand for them would be.
This would mean the increase of
value. Stale eggs should never be al
lowed to go from the farm. To such
as want to, work off bad eggs on the
public. we would recommend the Dan
ish method of selling eggs, where
every shipper of bad eggs is fined $1OO
for each bad egg and is expelled from
the association when he has sent to
market three bad eggs.

SELLING Cream.

E. G. Jacobs: When we commenced
to use the separator we found the
cream was of superior quality for
our butter customers, with the result
that it soon had q prominent place
in our weekly load, with a profit to
us and q satisfaction to the customers
that has resulted In our seldom being
able to supply the demand for 1t. It
SENS strange that with so much dairy
product seeking a market, good. rich,
sweet cream lis often hard to obtain
in the city at any price. From my
own observation think that much
more cream is being used than few
years ago, and much more would be
used If good article could always
be obtained.
1 know of no more profitable way
Of selling cream than in connection
with a butter trade, as then the de-
livery can be done at the same time
and usually to the same people. Then,
1t is profitable way to dispose Of q
surplus that is quite liable to accu-
mulate In May or June, as more cream
is usually wanted in summer than in
winter, and it is often difficult to ad-
just the supply to the demand through
out the year, but by selling both l
think it is easier to manage. Cream
is taken Immediately from the sepa-
rator, set in ice water and stirred
until cold. Think it would usually
test about 80 per cent butter fat, al
though do not make a practice Of
testing it, being guided by the amount
OF butter yielded at the previous
churning and the appearance of the
cream, aiming always to have cream
rich enough to whip when in proper
ondition.-Farmers' Review.

Montana Dairy BUILDING.

A Montana item says: The dairy
building at the experiment station Cat
Bozeman) is rapidly approaching COM
pletion. Its dimensions are 2Sx44
feet, two stories and of frame con-
struction. The west side on the lower
floor will be devoted to the manufac-
ture of butter, while on the east side
will be the cheese watts and other ma
chinery for turning out first-class
cheese. The upper story will be used
for class rooms. The dairy will have
capacity Of about 1000 gallons of
milk every day, and the work will all
be done by the students of the agri-
cultural course. The cost of the
building will be $4,000, the amount
appropriated by the last legislature.
The equipment is already on the
ground and will be installed just as
soon as the building is completed.

who was kissing it passionately, when
Vavara appeared in the doorway and
behind him every man and most Of the
women in the camp. They pressed
into the room and surrounded the
three. Vavara grasped Westou's arm
effusively and said:
MY brave, brave lieutenant. It is

us yourself of it, my pride!"
The others stood about, their black
eyes shining, broad smiles on their
faces.

evilly and his eyes turned inward. He
stood silent for moment, then said:
eft cannot be. There is no such wom-
an. Would not my spies have told me
of her? How do you know?" ..

the hidden ford, his saving by the
Seminoles, his illness at the rancho,
his nursing, his recovery, his escape
and his intention to start for the in

Exercise is not conducive to the

as birds do not thrive when confined

should be a very quick one. Four
teen days is long enough to get a

one-half and corn meal one-half is a
good combination. Feed all they can
eat in the morning. AT. noon give
ground oats, middlings and ground

plenty Of wheat and corn. This may
