At the Wisconsin Roundup Insti-
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.
1t costs about 25 cents to bring q
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 ac-
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. an
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 a 81
mill was purchased, as she desired to
be sure OF its value before investing
any larger sum in 1t. The smaller
mill does very we'll 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 145
eggs per hen has been obtained from
the flock. People tell about focks
that average 200 eggs per fowl. but it
is very doubtful II 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.

Ueiii.fnk Free Seed.

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-
duced to very short rations this win
ter and in some cases have lacked ne
cessities. They are Of proud, fnde-
pendent spirit, however. and have re-
fused all Offers OF assistance until now,
the planting season being at hand.
they are willing to accept seed which
the Governor Of Arkansas has secured
with money borrowed by him from the
banks. The situation is being inves-
tigated by representative of the Mis-
souri, State Board OF Charities at the
request of Governor Dockery, who has
proposed that the Missouri delegation
in Congress apply the seed. which they
are authorized to dispense under the
free seed distribution allowed con-
gressman, to the relief Of these union
tunate farmers.

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 it 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 q 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
stanchions for calves can be made out
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 fnches'
space for the neck. The feed trough is
twelve inches wide, four inches deep,
and runs the full length Of the stanch-
ion. II calves are fastened BY rope
ties, they should be far enough apart
TO prevent them from sucking each
other.

Pssss.ris,as AGnk II Bottles.
The bottles known ~ "sterilizing"
bottles are tall. narrow ones, With =
OF eight ounces, or half pint.
After being hlled with milk the bot
ties are corked most conveniently BY
means OF wad or plug OF cotton bat
ting. But Of course care must be used
that this does not become wet, and the
bottles must be kept upright. They
may also be stoppsred with ordinary
-corks which have recently been boiled
each time before using, and then Less
care to keep the bottles upright will be
needed. But corks must be firmly tied
down, when sterilizing is done, to pre-
vent their being forced out. To heat
the milk in these bottles it is necessary
to put them into boiler upon a per-
forated false bottom or platform to
keep them from direct contact with
the bottom of the boiler. Water ts
poured in around the bottles to the
same level as the milk. This water IS
heated, and as the temperature of the
milk lags some ten or more degrees
behind that OF the water, the latter
must be raised to the boiling point,
when the bottles can be removed and
cooled gradually, to prevent tnetf
cracking. AS it is advantageous to
cool the milk rapidly. the use OF tin
cans OF similar shape as the bottles
has been recommended in bulletin 134
OF the Michigan Experiment Station.
Such cans may be put at once in iced
water. The part of the bottles above
the milk is not pasteurized, and hence
the bottles should be kept upright to
prevent contamination. At 40 degrees
water begins to steam and simmer,
while boiling begins at 100 to 1875 de-
grees, at which time tho milk in the
bottles has reached 1856 degrees. II it
is desired to pasteurize at lower tenn
perature, say, at 155 degrees, the water
must be held at this point for half an
hour and at 140 degrees for about an
hour. This will take more care and
time than the method described.-Ju-
illus Nelson.

women. whlsher. In Spain.

A spaniard who is now on a tour OF
this country says that many American
customs strike him as being most Pc
oulfar. For instance" he says, u
have seen advertisements in your pa
pers of what you call dermatologists
who remove superfluous hair from

are called beauty parlors,' and l fnd
that IN your country the women are
much annoyed when hair grows on the
upper lip. They go TO the beauty par
foF' and submit to painful operation
in having this hair removed. Now, in
1pain, it is Just the other way.
Our women consider it a mark OF
beauty to have a growth of soft downy
hair shadow the mouth. A woman who
would have this taken OF would be
considered crazy. But then / suppose

Helen's Tower.

the famous "Helen's Tower" which
Lord Dufferin built in honor OF his

Ffed H. 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 I would
emphasize the giving OF special regard
to vigor OF constitution, robustness.
and capacity for digestion and assimf-
lation. Some Of our more observant
breeders are coming to think that In
some OF our breeds Of swine, the pro-
cess Of refining the bono 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 il able to stand
squarely and steadily on Its feet.
Among tho 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 we'll 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.
shapeIy foot-these are among the
more vital points to be observed In
the building up OF a good and thor
oughly useful herd of hogs. These are
the points chiefly sought after by I'M
telligent farmers and breeders. An dt-
tempt at the combination OF as many
OF these good points as possible in the
shaping of the farm herd is good
thing.

Some Hints on Turkeys.


From Farmers Review: When the
poults have q part or all OF their
bodies out from uRder 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 q clean, warm,
rain-proof coop that is placed in small
pen, say 15x1S feet, the pen fenced in
with foot wide poultry netting prefer
ably. but boards are about az good
though not as handy. The advantage
of the netting is that the poults cannot
see to get over 1t as we'll as they can
the planks. 1t is necessary to have
Ehe coop in some pen or else have
some one on the watch constantly. for
the poults will wander away from the
others il they have any chance at all;
they are so very silly.
Have the pen on a grassy plat, II
possible, but have the grass very short
else the dew on it will damp the poults
enough to cause their becoming
chilled, and II 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
lin sweet milk or water, and milk curds.
Pepper this thickly with black pepper
once per day and mix it thickly with
lsharp sand twice per week for their
breakfast Feed rather often, bat nsvR

How Germs Get into Milk.

Bulletin 1872, New Jersey Station: In
the first place, a good many germs are
living IN the milk while 1t Is yet IN
the udder OF the COW, and in the next
place, 4 good many more fall into the
milk pail from those floating in the
air. being caught in the streams Of
descending milk. Still others are in
troduced clinging to the particles Of
dust, dirt, hair, chaff. ETC., that become
loosened from the udder and adjacent
surface of the cow, and from the
hands, arms, ETC., of the mixer, and IN
fly time from the whisking tail of the
pestered animal. 1t is the presence OF
numerous particles Of this sort which
is responsible for the general practice
OF straining milk. But no strainer is
fine enough to retain the smallest par
fticles, and least of all, the germs that
have been washed out of the particles.
In those dairies where the practice OF
keeping cows and stalls thoroughly
clean has not been adopted. the dirt
that most frequently gets into milk
consists OF particles OF manure. The
presence of even little manure i'm
parts to the milk the peculiar favor
called Convey" as though 1t were the
distinctive odor of this domestic spe-
cies. But this flavor is quite distinct
from the odor OF new, pure milk (also
found in the cows breath. over which
poets have raved in ecstasy. In these
days OF modern dairy progress" the
production OF "cowey" milk is both in
excusable and reprehensible. Milk has
q strong attraction for odors and read
lily absorbs any predominant odor Of
the air, etc, 1t Is in contact with,
hence 1t is not strange that it extracts
the odor of the dirt that falls into 1T
In fact, If the milch cows food has any
peculiar favor it affects the milk.
These various disagreeable havors in
milk are OF less consequence than the
fact that milk receives the germs that
inhabit the dirt which gets into 1t. OF
all dirt, manure Is the richest in germ
content, and what is even more i'm
portant, 1t contains germs that are
parasitic in the intestines and hence
are liable to produce disease.

find them, enough to sap the life out
OF 4 ten-year-old gobbler it allowed
to remain. Push the top feathers back
and dust setween the quills with fresh
lice powder, then rub gently to be
sure the work is well done. Each
wing must be so treated; 1t is tedious.
but there is no other way that will do
the work and yet not injure the poults;
they are so tender. Every few days
you must look at the wings and upon

New Industry on Windy Day IL


On the recent windy Sunday a new
and apparently profitable industry was
disclosed uptown. 1t was a day when
hats went suddenly off the head and
Travelled a block or two before they
alighted, and then rolled or bounded
three or four blocks more, like low
driven golf balls. People at Broad
way and Forty-second street. had just
watched a young fellow disappear down
the cross street in pursuit of his
derby, and were turning to go on theiI
ways, when negro rounded the
corner, who looked like a hatrack.
Derbies were tucked under each arm;
he held a muddy tall hat in one hand
and white felt crush hat in the other
other. and on top OF mis- own derby
black felt hat was jammed securely.
He wore a smile from ear to ear.
What are you doing with all those
hats?" someone asked him.
"Weli. Use takin' all dat am
a-comin' ma way" and he grinned. Il
could "a got more, but L amt got no
more place to put UNI"
Why don't you give them back to
the men that lost them?" he was
asked.
We'll, you see," said he. they was
most centrally so fab away dat

Then ne went on up Broadway
with all his hats.

remarked; never chase your own hat
