The Wearing of AmuletS.

Who Wore the first amulet it would
pc impossible to say. but the adoption
of talisnan to ward Off evil is OF
very ancient origin
Phylacterics. the Greek word for a!E-
uletS. We're Worn by the lsraelites, to
which allusion is made in the Scrip
lures. These phylacteres were max
row strips of parchment on which
We're written passages from the Old
Testament. \ strip was placed in a
small feather box and bound to the
left elbow 3y Il narrow strap. There
was a smaller phyiactery for the fore
head, the box for which Was about an
inch square.
The word amulet is of Arabic origin
and implies IL thing suspended. ANU
lets We're of variouS kinds. The moon
stone, found in tie desert of Arabia
was worn as Il tali&nlan against Gil
chantment by the women. WHO sus,

Some Good Advice on Swine,

j. W. Boles: The first few days
after SOW farrows she should have
but little food. Very rich food will
scour the pigs. / save more pigs far
rowed in the spring that l do those
narrowed in the fall A lot and house
Tor each SOW are necessary for best
results. After pigs are old enough to
eat slop, composed of bran and ship
stuff and little oil meal. different lit
ters may be turned together For best
growth and development feed mostly
SOFT food with grass and clover and a
little corn. Equal parts of bran and
ship stuff with a very thin slop of Oil
meal is what l use. Plenty of wood
ashes, slaked lime, salt and charcoal
made from burning cobs or wood,
should be in their lots and pastures
all the time. Hogs will eat a great
deal Of sand. Wheat straw is best for
bedding. Millet is good for grown
hogs, will keep them out of the dust
better than anything else 1t is not
best to have young pigs very fat The
development Of bone and muscle is
the primary object of the first six
months of pigs life. Overlooking i'm
pairs the health and usefulness OF the
pig very greatly. We should keep it
in a thriving condition.
The Jennings daily record., 1902-07-22
Immature Stock rs Breeders.

1t is surprising to what extent I'M
mature stock is used fer breeders, even
among poultry fanciers. A cockerel
less than a year old is mated with
pullets, and this is kept up for genera
tions. The results can hardly fail to
be disastrous, at least so far as hardi-
ness is concerned. When hardness
departs or is bred out the door is open
to many evils. Breeders that have care
fully looked into the matter believe
that the resulting fowls lay eggs in
fertile or with germ weak in fertil-
ity. Moreover the tendency is to de-
velop a strain of fowls that will have
little of the force Of matured birds
The more advanced breeders are using
mature stock. What about the man
that buys eggs Of the men that breed
from immature stock? Are they get
ting a fair return for the money they
expend? 1t would be well for egg
buyers to find out whether the eggs
they are to purchase this spring are
from immature birds or not.
The Jennings daily record., 1902-07-22
Bulk in Swine Food.

Swine are by nature omnivorous
feeders. They eat flesh, heritage. ce-
reals, roots and fruits. Their food in
their natural state has good deal OF
bulk. The bad results sometimes OBJ
tanned by feeders is due to forgetful
ness OF this fact. The salvation OF
pigs kept in confinement has been the
general impression that swill was pre-
eminently hog feed. This has given
bulk to an otherwise condensed ra-
ton. The pig has to large extent
been the victim of wrong system of
feeding. He has been too often con-
fined in small space and fed a con-
densed ration. AS a result disease
and death have cut short the profits Of
the pig raisers. The feeding Of a ra-
ton of cereals is not in keeping with
the natural requirements of the porcine
money-maker. 1t is not difficult mat
ter for the swine feeder to increase
greatly the bulk .of food fed. Silage,
roots and vegetables can be fed in the
winter. If the farmer have not these,
he can feed clover hay. This should
be cut in feed-cutter and soaked by
pouring boiling water over it. To this
may be added the meal or other con-
centrate that is to be fed. ...

MIX mems ton.

From Farmers Review: The milk
nien of Evansville, Indiana, have or.
garlzed an association for the advance
ment of their interests. This aSsocia.
ton, of which ]. c. Wallenneyer IS
secretary, co-operates with the city
food Inspector in securing better sanl'
tary conditions on the farms of its
members. Meetings are held regularly
at which prominent physicians of the
city have delivered lectures on the
requisites for healthful milk for infant
feeding and family use. Veterinarians
discuss the prevention and care of dis
eases among dairy cows. At a recent
public meeting one session was givep
to the discussion Of those phases of ths
subject which should interest the con.
sumers of milk and cream. At the
second session, H. E. Van Norman. in.
structor in dairying at Purdue Univer'
sity, lectured on selection and feeding
OF the dairy COW, and care and hand
ling Of milk for city trade. The edu-
cational feature Of this associations
efforts is new one and cannot help
but improve the sanitary condition OF
milk delivered to city consumers. This
move is one that could be followed
with advantage by the milkmen Of otn-
er cities.-W. G. Latta, Purdue Uni

Trea.men, of Seed o.t..

From Farmers Review: Nothing
OF greater interest aad more import
ance occurs to me at present than
treatment Of seed oa;. to destroy
smut" We have been thoroughly sue
cessful with the following-much cas-
ier and pleasanter than the soaking
method and seeding with wet grain:
Mix one ounce of formalin with one
gallon of water for every six bushels
of oats. Spread the oats about three
inches thick and apply the liquid with
a sprinkling can as evenly as practl-
cable, and stir thoroughly; then
shovel into a snug elongated heap
about three feet deep along the center,
and cover with the oat sacks turned
and shaken, and a light blanket to
complete if needed, and leave twenty
four to forty-eight hours Then re-
shovel and heap and cover for an
other day or two, when the moisture
applied will be diffused through the
mass and evaporated, so as not to be
perceptible. The grain may then be
sacked or stored ready for use when
wanted.-P. +. Nye.

Breeding Pens.

At this time OF year many breeding
pens are being made up. What are
the fowls used in them? We believe
they should be birds that have proven
themselves excellent by more than one
year Of existence. Mature females
and mature males selected as the re-
suit Of known qualities should and
will produce eggs that contain strong
embryos: These will give vigorous
chicks, which will develop rapidly un-
der skillful feeding. The birds kept
for breeders even though there be
but five of them in yard, should have
considerable area devoted to them
i he writer was pleased to notice while
at the North Carolina Agricultural
College last year, that the yards devot-
ed to the breeders were so large that
the birds had an abundance of green
grass, with no prospect of rendering
the ground bare. In addition to the
grass, plats Of oats we're sown. 1t Ger
tainly is not advisable to confine a
breeding pen"-a cock and four hens
in little yard not more than five
by five feet, as we have seen them.
Exercise induces fertility in eggs.
The Jennings daily record., 1902-07-22
Milk Yield or S0wA

The milk yield Of sows might be
thought to be considerable. as it must
supply the food for sometimes very
large litters That it is not large
should teach us that the amount Of
milk needed for the sustenance of the
young of any animals is relatively
small. Man. when he tries to supply
artificially the place of nurse to farm
animals, almost always overfeeds. This
overfeeding is not infrequently the
sole cause of the death of animals be-
ing brought up by hand. Nature has
fixed matters in such a way that over
feeding is practically out Of lAe
question. AS to the amount of milk
yielded by sows We have not extensive
data. Four Sows were tested at the
Wisconsin station and their milk
weighed at different periods and for
different lengths of time. Number
one gave an average of 5.S pounds
per day: number gave Al pounds per
day: number 8 gave "a pounds per
day and number 4 gave So pounds per
day. The highest yield of milk on any
one day was ST pounds by SOW number
one, twenty days after farrowing

A l1,,Line GLOW. robs.

In Australia there has been brought
into use in the dairies what is called a
milking glove tube. A valve fits over
the teat and from the valve extends a
long narrow tube, which conveys the
milk from the teat into a covered pail.
The orifices in the cover of the pail
are just large enough to receive the
tubes. We illustrate the general idea
herewith. From an American point
OF view the device does not seem prac
ticable. From Australian reports we
take it that the invention is supposed
to be substitute for clean
liness in the dairy. A paper
in that country says: Many OF the
troubles of dairying are caused T. the
injurious microbes that are carried b."
dirt into the milk, and it has been rec
commended by various authorities to
groom the COWS and wash their udders
The Jennings daily record., 1902-07-22
Disposal of Inferior Frulta.

From Farmers Review: In reply
possible to give you any idea in the
way of figures as to what extent the
different varieties of fruit in Illinois.
Indiana and Michigan are disposed Of
in the dried form. but as a guess. we
should say that perhaps 25 per cent Of
the green fruits are either dried or
canned. The largest quantity of dried
fruit in the way of evaporated rasp-
berries and apples comes from New
York state. There are also a good
many berries and apples evaporated in
Michigan, and a good many apples
evaporated and sun dried in Indiana
and Illinois. The fruit that is dried
and canned is not first quality, it being
usually marketed green, and the sec
ond and third quality are canned and
dried. This refers to apples more than
berries, as berries, that is strawberries.
raspberries and blackberries must be
of good quality to go into the can, al
though of course, they are not selected
as closely as they would be if they
were put on the market in the green
state. and take for instance, apples,
if they could not dry and can this
quality of apples referred to above,
they would probably have to throw
them away, as they could not be put
on the market green.-Miller & Davis

been the factor that has kept down
profits. II man has . herd Of cows
and some Of them are poor mixers
it 10 easy to detect the poor ones and
dispose OF them. Up to the time the
trap nest was invented. the poultry
man had no way Of finding out which
Of his hens were the drones and which
were the good layers. With the COM
ing Of the trap nest, all is changed.
The poultryman can now eliminate
the Improbable birds.
One man that has tried has found
the trap nest very serviceable. 1t
showed him that some Of his most
-orthless specimens were those the
most perfect in form. Some of the
exhibits proved to be almost worth
less as layers. At least 20 per cent
Of the fowls so tested proved to be
losing money for their owner. while
as many more u ere shown to be bare
ly clearing expenses. A few OF the
birds showed themselves to be per-
sistent layers, and these were kept for
breeders.
The trap nests show not only how
many eggs the fowls lay but the kind
Of eggs. 1t sometimes becomes de-
sirable to know what hens lay eggs
with certain colored shells. This Is
particularly SO in breeds that have
been created by the crossing Of other
breeds. as such produce eggs varying
all the way from white to dark brown.
The trap nest enables the breeder to
determine what kinds lay the eggs OF
the desired color. Then. too. the pre-
potent birds can be distinguished and
those whose eggs are habitually fer
tile. This is a most important point.

The Siberian butter is looming up
as a strong competitor with the butter
from all other lands. The railroads,
being controlled by the government,
carry the goods at such a low rate
that the butter is brought to tide
water on the Baltic at small cost.
Moreover, the Russian government
does not lose sight of it there Re
Gently a conference was held in St
Petersburg between the makers of but
ter and government officials that have
duties more or less touching the ship
ment of butter. The secretary OF
transportation reported that 920 Re
frigerator cars for butter had been
provided and cold storage plants at all
stations likely to be used for consid-
erable shipments of butter Arrange
ments were also entered into for the
shipping of the butter to England by
steamers not touching at Danish ports.
The Russians are evidently determined
that no more Siberian or Russian but
ter shall be shipped to England from
Denmark and labeled Danish butter
This is wise step, by which an old
trick is made impossible of working
Dairy schools are to be established Il
is also urged that central laboratory
be equipped for the purpose Of analyz-
ing suspicious lots of butter and pre-
venting their expectation. 1t is claimed
that Siberian butter. badly adulterated

The present time Of year. when work
horses are shedding their winters
coat Of hair, IL always critical Pc
riod and much of the ability Of the
animal to Withstand work we'll in hot
weather depends upon the manner In
which this spring change Of garment
is effected. II the shedding process
be retarded it indicates lack Of health.
1t indicates, as q rule, lack of atten-
tion upon the part Of the owner. He
is apt to forget that food suitable
during cold weather is unsuited to
change Of temperature. Corn, which
furnished fat and heat during winter.
now becomes burden to the animal
economy. The heavy coat Of hair
leads to profuse perspiration and this
to debility. Nature now seeks to
throw OF the incuDus-the long coat
becomes foreign body to be gotten
rid OF. The horse fails to part speed
lily with this winters protection un-
less he is given chance by his own
er. If he is confined to badly VEN
tllated, dirty stable and given hard
water to drink, the glands and sweat
pores of the skin fail to work freely.
Sluggish circulation OF the blood ac-
companies these conditions of the
skin, and that means imperfect work
ing kidneys and liver. The horse must
be healthy to perform a healthy act.
Coat-shedding is natural and neces-
sary; it is best done by horses in best
condition. Such horses are those
which have been properly exercised
and fed during winter. To stimulate
shedding at this season try to induce
good health, If absent. Do this by
flooding the stable wit fresh air and
sunlight Change hard drinking water
for soft water. Stop feeding corn and
substitute bran mashes until the bow
els are freely opened-until winters
costlveness gives way to that freedom
OF excretion which nature stimulates
by green grass. Feed oats then to fill
the blood with nitrogen; the carbona-
ceous matters of corn are no longer
called for and nitrogenous matters
Will build up muscle and afford vim
and vigor for hard labor. Lastly use
the curry comb and brush thoroughly
as mechanical stimulating factors. The
skin will respond in kindly fashion.
and where this is brought about the
horse may be considered healthy and
fit for work.

Poultry Briefs.

Not the least among the advantages
OF this invention is the being able to
determine the laying period OF the
hens. 4. A fowl that begins, to lay in
November and produces her eggs
during the period when eggs are high
in price is far more valuable than a
fowl that begins to lay on the first of
February and drops most of her eggs
in the spring and early summer, when
eggs are being disposed of at a very
low price The phenomenal winter
layer" unless. discovered by the trap
nest, stands a. good Chance of having
herihead cut of at the end Of the lay
ing season. when, In fact, she should
be kept as q breeder. The trap nest
makes it possible for the breeder to
become personally we'll acquainted
with each member OF his flock.
No invention of this day has in it
greater possibilities for the poultry
man than has the trap nest. The
drone in the flock Of heus has always
