From Farmers Review: Ever since
Noah built the ark the question OF
whether hens can hatch eggs or not
has been settled. A long while ago.
of course, but not much longer than
the Egyptians Matched eggs in ovens.
Over 2 600 years ago the Egyptians
Matched eggs by artificial means, and
yet there are people in this eniSht-
ened age that doubt If it can be done
And the queer part of it is, they even
doubt it when they see it with their
own eyes. 1t costs less to run good
incubator than it does to feed hens TO
incubate the same number of eggs,
and a good incubator will hatch just as
many or more eggs than an average
flock of hens. There are good and bad
incubators, just as much as there are
hens that stick to business and hens
that quit the nest, the variation is just
as great There are incubatorS that
are made carefully of good material
and on the right principle, and there
are others that are made with a view
of profit on manufacture. There are
several good incubators and several
others that would be a poor invest
ment even though they were a gift.
In selecting an incubator the decision
should be made in favor of the work
the machine evidently does instead OF
the argument or fine spun theory be-
hind it; otherwise don't overlook the
material and don't overlook who the
machine does good work for, whether
ii is for experienced operators and ex-
perts, or whether for the everyday
poultry raisers and those inexperienced
in operating incubators. After you
have selected the incubator, you are
master of the situation, no waiting for
the hens to get broody, no standing
guard among them to see if they go
back to the right nest, no Matching out
millions of vermin in the setting hens

stunting the chicks, and what is of
still further Importance the hens have

Kept Her
Diamonds
Observation-Disclosures ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

There is quite romance connected
with the diamonds that are now in
possession Of the daughters of Gen.
w. T. Sherman. Mrs. Thorndike, one
OF the daughters, has long been
favOrite in Washington society. She
was also greatly admired by the khe-
dive OF Egypt When Mrs. Thorndike's
sister, Minnie Sherman was married
to Lieut.. T. w. Fitch his majesty, de-
sirous OF expressing his friendship for
the old warrior. selected from his
treasury diamonds valued at 100000,
had them set as a necklace and sent
the gorgeous ornament to the bride.
But an unfeeling United States Gus
toms department fell upon the wedding
gift and held it for a ransom of 500
900, the amount of the legal 10 per cent
duty. Here was pretty how'd you-do,
for neither the bridegroom nor the
general could scrape together the sum
demanded. The bride wept, the news
papers gossiped and the husband grew
pale with modification. But there was
naturally sympathetic feeling on the
part of every American woman at the
thought of a poverty-stricken bride
unable to gaze upon 100000 in dia-
monds that actually belonged to her.
A public subscription was started; then
the national government became inter-
ested, and finally congress stepped in,
and goaded to chivalrous rescue by
Its wives and daughters, RENTED the
duty by special enactment.

The Corn Stalk Disease.

From Farmers Review: I have seen
a great deal published on the cornstaik
disease Perhaps 1 can add something
Of value. have Seen no remedy gwen
except that OF the assistant state vet
erinarian, L. c. Tiffany. He thinks a
poisonous fungus develops on the stalk
or blades, invisible but surely there.
He said the only sure way Of avoiding
the disease is to cease turning IN tue
stock. Now as have practiced Veter-
mary surgery for the last forty-four
years and in that time have opened
and examined both horses and cattle
in large numbers that have died from
this selne trouble. l think kno"
whereof l speak. The cause or the
trouble is that the animal is expected
to eat enough of those weather-beaten
stalks to supply them with nourlsh-
ment An animal has therefore to eat
almost all day and all night to do IL.
The system of an animal does not
furnish moisture enough to digest the
fodder that has been eaten. The con-
sequence is that gases are formed III
the bowels and these cause death.
have examined several cattle anu
horses that died this fall in this part
of the state. They had died while on
dry pasture and an examination showed
that the cause of death was indlges-
ton. Just the same as in the case OF
animals fed on dry stalks. have
pastured stalks on my farm all my
| life and never lost an animal. Inc
only remedy I know is to feed grain

is that the stalks when cut have all

To Keep Poultry Healthy.

From Farmers Review: Flocks
should be kept well housed at night
and the house that shelters them
should be free from leaks and drafts,
especially in the roosting places. Inc
droppings should be carefully cleaned
from sanded dropping boards three or
four times a week. Use liquid lice
killer on roosts once in two weeks and
disinfect once or twice month py
burning flowers of sulphur on hand
full of shavingS. Air the houses we'll
during bright, crisp weather. Always
supply a patch of rye for winter pas
ture. to be used when the ground is
free from snow.
Several years breeding has never
brought any disease of a contagious
or infectious character into my hocks.
Care, variety and regularity OF feeding
are essential. This has been a study
with me. for the health OF the flock.
Where a cold las occurred it has been
treated to a few applications of kero-
sene and sweet oil equal parts). This
medicine is applied to the nostrils by
means of small oil can. Some or the
medicine is put into the throat. II
the cold seems stubborn, pretty thor-
ough smoking over the fumes OF purn-
ing sulphur has completed the cure. l
do not believe in using much medicine
in feed or drink My observation has
been that disease is largely due to
overlooking with one kind of feed, lack
of variety in feed, filth and general
neglect.-Jesse Z. Morgan, Cook Ccun-

LAWYERS do not usually get the small
end of a bargain with their clients, but
the Green Bag recalls two incidents
where the clients had rather the best
of it.
Sir Walter SCOTS first client was
burglar. He got the fellow off, but the
man declared that he hadn't penny TO
give him for his services. Two bits OF
useful information he offered, however,
and with these the young lawyer hau
to he content The first was that
yelping terrier inside the house was a
bester protection against thieves tnan
a big dog outside; and the second. that
no sort of lock bothered his craft SO
much as an old, rusty one.
Small compensation as this was. the
first brief of the noted French lawyer,
M Rouher. yielded still less. Inc
neasant for whom NJ. Rouher won the
case asked how much he owed him.
.Oh. say two francs" said the mod
est young advocate.
..Two francsv' exclaimed the peasant.
THAT is very high. Won't you let me
off with a franc and half?
NO" said the counsel; two francs
or nothing"
"yell. then" said the client, I'D
rather pay nothing.
And with bow he lett.

Feeding Herefords.

Mr.. Thomas Clark of Illinois writes |
TO the Kansas State Board of Asricul. |
ture concerning his methods of feed |
ing Hereford cattle. He says:
First, in handling my stock bulls I
give special attention to their rations
and exercise. feed them from four
to six quarts of ground corn, oats and
bran, equal parts, mixed with little
cut hay. twice per day, morning and
night, then giving them as much long
hay as they can eat. l always turn
them out after their breakfast, and II
the weather is not too stormy they
will remain outside in lots all day,
where hay is accessible to them at any
time. / find this treatment the most
judicious, as the bulls are always
strong and vigorous, and are sure get
ters
My cows l generally breed so as to
calve in the months of November, De
cember, and in the early part OF
spring; but for econolnizing in the
raising of cattle l should favor the
breeding of cows SO as to have them
drop their calves just before going out
on grass, and allow the calves to run
with their mothers and partake OF the
milk, as nature provided. By so do
stitutioned cattle and better feeders
My dry in-calf cows can winter out IN
yards, with an open shed for protec'
ton during storms, upon little nay
with plenty of good oat straw or corn
stalks. My cows so wintered are no"
in good breeding condition and Will
drop their calves in March and April,
just before going out on grass. Ihese
are kept at very little expense COM
pared with cows sucking calves dur
ing the winter months. Cows giving
milk or sucking calves in winter
feed as follows: l mix up about one
| bran, and the same proportion OF
beets added, for each animal. Inc
| feed is mixed up once a day in bulk
and remains about twelve hours, so as
| to absorb the juice of the beets. l
feed this morning and night; also give
a little long hay before going out IN
the morning and after their feed al
| night. When in the yard l feed corn
stalks or oat straw.
Cows just before calving are put IN
box stalls and fed literally with
ground corn, oats, bran and two
pounds of oil-cake mixed with cut hay
per day. The oil-cake will put them
in better condition for calving- After
the calves are dropped l allow them
to remain with their dams ABOUT
week; afterward suckle twice day
The ration for young calves is equa
parts of shelled corn, oats and bran
with few cut beets.

HOW WILD ANIMALS SLEEP.
Inherent Species Have Varying Methot


of Enjoying Slnmber.
There is nothing odd or peculiar
about the sleep of the lions and tigers.
In captivity they show the same indif-
ference to danger that they manifest
in the jungle, and by day or night will
slumber through an unusual tumuit,
Their sleep is commonly heavy and
peaceful, says an exchange.
Bears are also heavy sleepers, but
less disposed than lions and tigers to
slumber in the daytime. Grizzly bears
usually curl up under the rocks, but
sometimes they crawl up to the very
top of the rocks and with front paws
spread around the iron cage, bears go
to sleep in what seems an -ncomfort-
able position; but bears never release
their muscular grasp of any object
when asleep.
The black bears will curl up among
he branches of a tree when they have
the opportunity and go to sleep in this
peculiar position. The polar bears show
a popularity in the selection of their
sleeping places. They choose one par
ticular corner of the cage for the pur-
pose and invariably seek this out for
the nights rest.
The high-sSrung, nervous animals
are the most interesting to watch al
night They usually belong to the
hunted tribes, whose lives are in con-
slant danger in the forest, and they
possess such a highly developed nerv-
Gus system that they really sleep with
one eye open. The slightest noise VIII
instantly awaken them.
The prairie wolves merely seem tc
close their eyes for an instant and theI
open them again to see if all is quiet.

Daughter of GenerAl

Collectors

Can you not imagine the rejoicings
Of the Pitches and Shermans when the
splendid gems were at last placed on

owner allowed them to be placed for
keeping in the United States treas
ury? But you certainly cannot imagine
her horror when great, ugly brute OF
a tax collector from some Pennsylvania
county in which she lived sauntered in
and demanded an annual tax more than
entire year! That settled it. There
was nothing to do but to send the
white elephant back to the khedive.

American woman obliged to give up
one-fifth of 81 0O0, 900 in diamonds!
But. if you will believe me, she could

Cowboys
as JOkerS

There is joy in the hearts of the
cowboys who are gathered for the win
ter in the little cow towns along the
line of the Great Northern railway in
northern Montana. The railway COM
pany has announced its indignation
at the actions Of the boys, and they
are gleeful in consequence. To STIR
I'D the wrath of a great railway cor
poration is luxury not often given
to the boys who punch cows.
The management OF the railway
takes exception to the habit the boys
have formed of letting off revolvers,
with apparent recklessness, during the
passage of passenger trains through
the town. 1t is an amusement dear TO
the soul of the cowboy. Just now
he has more money than he has at
any other time of the year, and also
has more ammunition. The presence
of a passenger train at the station,
with it's load of curious outlanders,
moves him to show off his badness.
He whoops and yells and fires his re-
yolver until the train has pulled away;
then he relapses into his everyday
self satisfied that he has scared the
passengers to fragile. But Mr.. Hill
saws this is reprehensible, and must
stop. Will it stop? Well!
