AUTHORITY ON A
John Collins, an Arizona breeder.
Favors the World with the Re-
suit of His Experience,

Modern skill, necessity and ingenuity
have made it possible to utilize everv
portion of the hog except is grunt and
squeal, and it is asserted you can sell
every part of a goat except it's scent.
The latter statement is made by Mr..
John Collins, who manages an extern.
sive goat farm in Arizona. The mum.
Der of goats on his farm he could not
for the life of him tell, he says. There
may be 10000, 10000 or 3O,0OO-he had
no idea how many. He is considered
an authority upon the uses and abuses
of the goat. On his farm there is moth.
ing but sage brush and cactus for the
goats to live on, yet no man, he claims.
ever saw a dead goat, unless he 1.-THE
goat) came to a violent end. They will
live and thrive where nearly every
other living thing would starve to
death.
He started with $50 common goats,
deriving the profit from the sale of the
hides. After a time these were crossed
with Angora goats, and after two
years the cross disappears and a per.
feet Angora goat remains. The long
hair OF this goat is made into plush
for furniture, sleeping ears and SINH
lar uses. The hair next to the skin can
be made into valuable shawls. The
meat of the kids is delightful when
fresh, and is canned and SEM to Cuba,
the Philippines, China and other for.
eign countries as canned lamb. One
tablespoonful of the milk of it is equal
to three tablespoonful of the purest
cream. One great virtue of the milk
is that it is a deadly foe to tubercula.
and consumptives by drinking it are
often cured of the disease. In fine, no
other dumb animal has more valuable
qualities than the goat. No stables
are required in which to house him.

for his w shelter if he needs any, and

KEEPING HOUSE IN PARIS.
Everyone Dwel1s in Apartments, and
h Greatest Economy Is
Practiced,

Housekeeping in France is altogeth.
er different from what it is in America,
says a Paris correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
The greatest economy is practiced by
the French. Separate houses are al
most unknown. Everyone dwells in
apartments. The prices of apart
ments are regulated by the number
of stairs one has to climb. Elevators
are scarcely ever seen.
In comparison with apartments in
America those in France seem bare
and comfortless. Rarely are any pic
lures hung on the walls, and there is
an absence of bric-a-brac and hang
ings. OF course, that applies to the
dwellings of the middle-class, we'll
to-do-people. The rich live sumptu-
ously, amid historic furniture and pic
lures, in the most elegant apartments.
The kitchen is usually one of the
most attractive places in a French
apartment, being provided with a shin
ing array of copper teakettles, sauce
pans, etc, all FURNISHED to the great
est degree of cleanliness. Everything
is porcelain lined, and even if a ten
ant remains no more than three
months the kitchen battery must be
done over afresh-at your expense, of
course. An ice chest is unknown. The
kitchen is provided with a sort of box,
showed halfway out of the window,

INDUSTRIAL ITEMS.

The aggregate beet sugar produc-
tion of Germany, Austria and France
for the season 1902 is estimated at
4,s15,o00 tons.
The amount of heat produced by an
average man in a days work would be
sufficient to raise So pounds of water
from freezing to boiling point.
Consul Haynes writes from Rouen
that the American shoe for men is far
superior in appearance and comfort to
the French article, which is hard and
boxy.
A centner (110 pounds) of raw beet
sugar costs to produce in Germany
$2.02. The cost of cane sugar in Cuba,
Hawaii and the Philippines is only $1.47
per centner.
What is said to be, the largest steel
safe in the world is nearing compile
ton for a life insurance company at
Hartford. 1t is to cost 1885,, 900. 1t
weighs $4,000 pounds.

land for the purpose Of utilizing Mr..
Edison's patent for extracting iron
ore, and proftably working the de-

INEXPENSIVE O
They Are Absolutely Safe and Can BE
Moved Readily from One Place
to Another,

The old style triangular coops.
Fig. 1, are difficult to clean. Filth is
liable to accumulate in the corners,
(a), and induce disease. Short
pieces of board fitted in as shown
by the dotted lines would improve
it, but I prefer a good-sized box,
costing five cents, using a portion of
the boards from a similar box for
the Stats and roof. Fig 2 shows
front view of a completed coop; e
is a three or four-inch strip, laid
on edge across center of box and
nailed. Roof boards, (f), are nailed
to this and to the ends of box, pro-
jecting about two inches all around.
Tarred paper held by strips of lath,
or lath alone, over the cracks, finish
the roof. Small hinges of. metal or
leather and a wooden button hold
the door.

AMONG H POULTRY.

Have a place for the hens and keen
them in it.
A wet, chilled chick is a s%orry-look.
ing object and a money loser for its
owner.
The good summer layer is the good
winter layer when the conditions can
be controlled.
Give the little chicks clover sweep
ings as scratching material and see
how they will enjoy it.
Have the coops for little chicks dr.,
entirely free from dampness-if YOU
would have them healthy and happy.
1t is easy to figure out a profit OF
paper, but the truth is the poultry
business is a business of details. We
must look out for the little things.
Kerosene is the cheapest and hes,
remedy for the red mites, or lice, that
infest the roost and nest boxes. II
is convenient, cheap and effective. For
body lice there is no remedy like the
dust bath made of three-fourths soil
and one-fourth wood ashes.
There is a pretty sur method of Sc.
curing winter layers, adopted by many
progressive poultry raisers; it is to
raise early chicks. The pullets OF
these early broods, if of egg producing
strains or breeds, will be sure to com.
mence laying in the fall season, and if
well fed and properly housed make
winter layers that can be relied upon,

Drinking Vessels for o~Y

One poultryman says that he finds
it advantageous to have two sets of
drinking vessels, using one one day
and the other the next. By this
means n set is summed and aired in
the off day. He thinks he keeps down
disease germs by this method. With
out doubt drinking vessels so handled
will be free from slime and other
things that may foster the develop
ment of disease germs. Certainly ii
is wiser to err on virtues side than
to invite disease. We have noticed
that when one set of dishes only is
used for this purpose they sometimes
become very filthy. If disease appears
in the flock they offer a good chance
for its spread.-Farmers' Review.

CULTIVATION OF CORN.
Exceptionally Intelligent Care
This Season.

The small corn crop of last year has
SO affected the stock market as to
prove very clearly the Importance of
this crop, and it is also evident that
too much consideration cannot be
given to the present seasons crop, as
a means of overcoming the shortage
from last year. A butcher, ~deploring
the high price of meats, said to the
writer: 81 will have to close out my
business because people are buying as
little meat as possible" He also said:
st is costing me twice as much for
feed for my horse as it did a year ago"
Thus it is evident that the supply of
farm products very markedly affect
all conditions of life.
Now, in view of these facts 1t is i'm
portant that the corn crop have intelli-
gent care. The experiments of pro-
gressive farmers in recent years show
that no general crop returns sc largely
for cultivation; but the old rule of
three times going over the corn field
is out of date.
1T the few weeks following the plant
ing after the corn is up prove to be
cool, often the weeds get a start.
Weeds thrive, wet or dry, warn or cold,
and they must be kept in check if the
corn is to get a start. The weeder is
the implement that will help the farm
or to keep his corn clean, and it is
coming into use more and more every
year. A good farmer of our ~acquaint-
ance has practiced going over the corn
with the weeder each way and then
following with the cu~ltivator at each
successive cultivation. A man with
horse and weeder will go wei more
than twice the acreage that a man with
double team and cultivator car. The
weeder levels the ground and works
through the hills just where the work
is needed.
Ii there r doubts as to the profits
OF so much labor on a corn crop, select
two corn fields and give one the old.
time three civilizations and keep the
other field well stirred, charging up to
the latter the cost of extra labor ex-
pended and ascertain at corn gather.

can be greatly improved by harrow

seeds are sown the ground should be
