Need Of Improvement in Dairy
Methods.

From Farmers Review: In no ar
ttcle Of human food is so much filth
consumed as in dairy products. When
milk or cream is ordered even at
our best hotels and restaurants, dirt
is frequently found at the bottom IL it
Is allowed to stand a short time. This
is not appetiziog, to say the lanst, and
is driving people who Ike milk to
using something in its stead. This
greatly reduses the consumption of
milk and at present Americans do
not consume more than one-third as
much milk per capita as Is used in
some European countries. Many per-
sons use as little milk as possible
because of the careless way in which
IL is produced and the fear that 1t may
contain disease germs. AS dairy prod
ucts are usually consumed In the raw
state, there is, of course, more danger
on this account, but when in proper
condition they are both healthful and
economical and would be consumed in
much larger quantities IL people could
always obtain them clean and of good
quality.
Simply because we are accustomed
to doing thing In a slipshod way is
no reason for its continuance. We
are living in an age Of the most rapid
change and improvement and the
sharpest competition. The public IL
becoming more intelligent and is de-
handing better food products year
after year, and unless the dairymen
fall into line and march with the pro-
cession by producing clean mink and
dairy products their consumption will
certainly decrease. People will not
continue to drink mill IN mssch a
sediment is found and 10 eat poor
butter and cheese. 1t is then to the
interest of the dairymen themselves
as we'll IS the general public that at
tention be given to the production of
milk, butter and cheese that are clean
and attractive in appearance as well
as OF superior quality.
In dairying as in all other occupa-
tons there Is room at the top and 1t
is in the better class Of dairying
that the profits lie, for this is as yet
a field almost wholly unoccupied.-

Fifty Dollars to Sit Down.

Carmel, Ind, Dec. 15th.--Mr. Jo-

In his own words:

worth fifty dollars to get to sit

Yes. I'll get them IL it takes the last

Dodd's Kidney Pills have effected

effective and permanent cure for all
diseases arising from the Kidneys.

lllias Hagaard, Aged Nine, Is Now In
Literature.
Admirers of Rider Haggard's writ
ings will doubtless be interested in
knowing that his youngest daughter,
s-year-old Lilias, who striking resem-
bles her father, already has developed
taste for writing. She has recently
completed a romance in which most
of the characters come to fearful ends.
In this, her first attempt, she shows
the influence of her fathers weird
romances. says the Philadelphia In.

daughter, in white silk, embroidered
with silver; the second daughter, Dol

little Lilias, and the writer himself
formed the home party. One Of the
guests was brother Of Mrs. Haggard,
who is Consul in New Caledonia, and
the original Of Captain Good. in King
Solomon's Mines"
The novelist, tall, looselimbed, and
with a peculiar swinging gait, looking
not unlike one Of his own heroes, took
his friends through the hothouses to
look at the orchids. The love Of those
flowers with him amounts to passion.
He would rather talk flowers or farm

A cannibal Hen.

The latter part of June set two
Bantam hens Of a mongrel type on
Pheasant eggs, placing them in col.
Farm Poultry. During the incubation
of these eggs the weather was exceed
ingly warm. Each day took the hens
off, lifting them gently so that no eggs
secreted between wing and body
would fall and break; placing them in
their cages allowed them all the
fresh water and whole corn they want
ed. Each Saturday busted them with
a good lice killer. All went well until
she 21st day, phi sasant eggs taking
"a days to hatch. On said day wnen
lifted the door TO let off the hens,
one of them was sitting on her eggs,
hsr comb very pale, and in appear
rlce a sick and dilapidated bird. The
ggs were chilled. how long could
lot tell. The other hen seemed quite
well and contented, excepting her
comb. which was slightly pale.
With no other sitting hen on hand
and quite a distance to the nearest
neighbor, / for awhile felt perplexed,
but not for long. was not for giving
up the chilled eggs experience has
taught me not toy. The well hen had
seventeen eggs under her. Realizing
she had only three more days to sit,
and the weather being warm, coupled
the eggs into one sitting, isolated the
sick bird, put iron into her drinking
water and fed her nothing but boiled
rice, rolled oats and onion tops; ana
for grit, egg shells. In three days
that hen showed her former vigor,
and her comb became more normal
in color.
By this time my chicks were due

noticed half she'll just outside the
roof. Upon raising the hen gently,
found no chick. The cage being be.
fore the coop made escape impossible.
Now was puzzled. Where was that
chick? pondered for awhile, then
thought best to watch the hen more
closely. Suddenly she shifted back o
little and deliberately picked at one
of the chicks that had only one wing
emerged from the shell. To my sur
prise she ate the chick. A cannibal,

Rose-comb Black Minorcas.

1t is worthy Of note that the lat.
est acquisition to the Minorca class
is the Rose-comb Black Minorca. The
only objection that has ever been
raised against the varieties Of the
Mediterranean class is their suscep-
bility to frostbite of the comp. Their
combs are so large that continued
cold or exposure is sure to result In
this complaint. To obviate this one
defect, II 1t may so be termed, in this
valuable class of birds, has actuated
breeders in making a bird that pos
sesses the other qualifications, but
with low rose combs, There are two
varieties Of Rose-comb Leghorns-the
Black and the White. and the Rose
comb Black Minorca. The latter Ia
not a standard variety as yet, bit in
dicaluGs point to their admission as
such in the near future. Many good
specimens have been bred and ex.
hibited at the recent shows. and sue.

Colorado celerx for ,hs East.


Colorado celery is this year for thu
first time being shipped East. From
an Insignificant business of a few
years ago it has developed to an enor.
nous industry. Three years ago such
q thing as shipping celery to the
eastern markets was unheard of. But
few enterprising spirits decided to
make the experiment and were amply
rewarded for their efforts. The re-
turns were so large that the next year
they shipped nearly their entire crop
East. Since then the business has
developed rapidly, and this year will
be the banner season of them ALL
Nearly twenty-five cars have been
shipped, and conservative estimate
for the season would be that not less
than forty cars will be shipped alto
gether. AS each carload will easily
average $4,000 pounds in weight, it
means that fully 100000 pounds of
celery will be used for export trade
alone.

siIage Facts.

Bulletin go, N. H. Experiment Sta.
fion.--our results and those OF other
stations invariably agree that the best
silage is obtained from corn that has
nearly reached maturity, with ears
fully formed and well filed. At this
stage Of growth, also, corn plant
has reached its maximum Of food pro-
duction. Varieties of corn should be
selected which yield the largest crops
at this stage. rather than those which
produce large plants. but are yet i'm
mature at cutting time. This prac-
tice Is already followed by many
farmers, but should be by all. For
New Hampshire, standard variety
is the Leaning dent corn, while in
those portions OF the state with too
short a season for that variety to
reach a proper stage. the Sanford
flint corn can be advantageously used.
The sugar In the green fodder is
practically all destroyed in the silo,
and since 1t is most abundant in the
corn plant In the early stages of ear

ment for postponing cutting until the
grain is full size ard the sugars
change largely to starch. The amount
OF seed per acre affects the yield of
green fodder, and also its compost

when in New York. At 4 o'clock a
milkman came along. climbed stairs
and left pint of milk. His wagon

over fifteen milk peddlers came up
those same stairs to deliver milk. We
have learned how to distribute our

In communication to the Farmers
Review Manager Skinner Of the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition says:
A most highly interesting and instruo-
tive innovation this year at the Inter-
national Live Stock Exposition will be
the admission of farmers sons into
the students judging contest. The
donors Of the premiums for this years
contest, Messrs. Spoor, Clay and San.
ders, have specially specified that the
contest be left open to all farmers
sons, regardless of their belonging to
any agricultural college. This will
give the colleges an opportunity to
prove up their teachings, and boys
who are not able to take the time for
schooling will have an opportunity ia
become part of this educational
feast. 1t viii hardly be expected that
any recognized, first-class school will,
under these circumsts noes, fail to en-
ter the lists, as the schools would bet
ter look to their laurels in such con-
test. Fathers whose boys have not at
tended this exposition should not al.
low anything to prevent the boys from
coming this year to watch this event
so as to prepare themselves for subse
quent contests, as undoubtedly at fu-
ture expositions this feature will re-
main a fixture. In addition to its be-
ing pleasure to send the boys. faith
