COMPANY.

New York, Nov. 25.-Mr. Goulds ex-

My wheel is in one corner of the

of the aXel rests on sill, the other
on a bent. On the aXel extending in

in diameter, with a belt (c) running

pulley bolted to the 14-inch on same
shaft AS an eight-foot pulley was
not far from the 14-inch one, there
was considerable trouble with the
belt slipping on the 14-inch pulley.
To remedy this, put in a three
inch aXel, got an old large rim wheel
from a horse power and bolted a
cross piece on it, and finding true
center, this was bolted to a wheel
keyed to the axel solid. I then used
a 1K2-inch shaft with a bull pinion

on the other five feet in diameter.

barley during the first period TO a
live weight of hundred pounds and
corn meal during the finishing
period. compared with the reverse of
this plan-that is, corn first, fol-
lowed with oats, peas and barley
we may conclude that the former
gives firmer pork.
6. That in both methods mentioned
in the preceding paragraph no
marked difference was to be observed
from the ration fed dry or previously
soaked, though taking an average
of the two groups on each ration the
dry" feed gave somewhat higher
olein content.
7. As when corn meal formed half
the first period ration and the whole
of the second period ration, the re-
sulting pork was somewhat softer
than from that of any of the rations
already discussed. We conclude that
the longer the period during which
the corn is fed as large proportion
of the ration the softer will be the
pork.
s. That beans produce a soft and
inferior pork. The growth of the
pigs so fed was poor and miserable
and the deposition of the fat meager.
0. That corn meal fed exclusively
as the grain ration, either dry or
previously soaked, results in an ex-
tremely soft fat, the percentage of
olein being considerably higher than
from any other ration tested. The
pork was of an inferior quality.
Here also we noted the miserable
growth of the animals, the ration in
no sense being an economical one.

APOPLEXY IN FOWLS.
1t Occurs Most Frequently in FIocks
Fed on what Is Termed the
High-Pressure system

1t is a nice thing to have fat,
plump fowls, when one is needed for
the table. When they are kept foy,
show purposes and for showing GUS
toners and others who may visit the
farm, they look well also when they
are very fat. When certain kinds of
food are fed and chickens are kept
from exercise they will get very fat.
Some breeds are better adapted to
taking on fat than others. Not every
person is able to have fowls fat when
many poultrymen who are able to
keep fowls in no other condition, and
they are subject to all the troubles
incident to a fat hen, says the Home
stead.
There is a degree of fairness that
does not hurt the fowl. and that is to
be retained, as a breeder should not
attain that degree of fairness that
will pass beyond the limit between
health and disease. If so the func-
tons of the fowl are interfered with.
and death is sure to come, and il
very often comes very suddenly.
1t is very well to know how over
fat affects chickens. When fowls re-
ceive high feeding and have limited
exercise, the fat accumulates in the
tissues, not in the constituents of the
organ, but in the intestines. Thus il
invades the spaces which separate the
muscular fibers themselves. and in the
liver the hepatic cells are choked. So
long as the fat is not excessive the
functions of the organs will not be
affected, but if the barrier be once
crossed between health and disease.
the fat becomes a part of the cell,
takes its place gradually and finally
destroys the organ. The accumula-
ton of fat especially attracts the &C.
ton of the heart, diminishing its
energy and proving an obstacle tn
the contraction and the circulation Of
the nourishing vessels. The fibers of
muscles of respiration become at
fected by the fat, and the fullness
and the frequency of breathing will
be lessened by the fat; the fat cannot
be consumed and ii accumulates. Sud.

too much or too little food. Dimin
ish the supply and force exercise, and
rely more on green food. Generous
feeding should be carried on in lay
ing time, but not in such a manner al
to transform the food into fat.

PIG FEEDING TESTS.
Character and Causes of Soft Pork
Discussed by Prof. Frank T..
Shut, of Canada.

The Canadian experimental farm
authorities have issued a report by
Prof. Frank T. Shut, chemist at the
farm, upon the character and causes
of soft pork. Softness in pork is a
serious defect, and so the question
is of great Importance to the Can
adam bacon industry. Prof. Shut
summarizes the results of his ex-
periments as follows:
l. That of all the grain rations
employed that consisting of equal
parts of oats, peas and barley gave
the tirmest pork. 1t may further be
added that the fat was deposited
evenly and not too thickly, and that
this ration gave very thrifty
growth.
2. That no difference could be OBJ
served in the firmness of the pork
from the preceding ration, whether
fed soaked or dry.
3. That when half the grain ration
consists of corn meal the resulting
pork shows an increased percentage
of olein-in other words, a tendency
to softness.
4. That in this ration (half corn
meal, half oats, peas and barley in
equal parts) the feeding of 1T boiled
gave a slightly higher olein content,
but this is only apparent when the
average from the four pens is taken
into consideration.
5. That, considering the effect of
feeding the ration of oats, peas and

protection from cold winds. When
the chicks become too large for the
brooder, they can occupy the house
as a coop, roosts being provided as
soon as the chicks are large enough
to use them As the weather be-
comes warmer. the wooden doors can
be left open at night, the wire doors
being closed to keep out cats and
skunks. Fifty chicks (or more. if the
wooden doors are to be left open)
can be kept in such a house through

Prof. Henry. Of the Wisconsin sta
ton, recommends combination of
two parts of bran and one part corn
meal for calves as a good growing ra-
ton. Bran is fine muscle-forming
feed but corn alone is too much in
clined as a fat former. Thus the adj
visa bility of the combination of the
two. 1t is expected in connection with
this that the calves are securing a good
supply of milk either direct from che
COW or skinned milk. This combina-
tion is so proportional that the calves
may be given what they will clean up
two or three times day. If this feed
is given properly the calves should
make excellent gains all the time they
are consuming milk. The calves should
grow thrifty and vigorous.
