There are in the state of Illinois
some hundreds of cities and populous
villages. Yet in all of these, with the
exception of six. there is no milk in
spection. In Chicago and five other
cities an effort is made to inspect the
milk sold. People are almost complete
ly at the mercy of the milk dealers. 1t
is unfortunate both for the milk buy
ers and for the milk producers that
this is so. 1t is a premium on dirty
methods Of milk production and on the
use of harmful chemicals in milk. One
man who buys milk in a large Illinois
eity told the writer that he stopped
taking milk of a certain milkman be-
cause he could leave the milk out of
doors for day or two in the hot sun
and it would not sour. Under the cir
cumstances he was probably justified
in being suspicious.

Asparagus Printing.

The old methods of planting aspara-
gus would hardly apply at this day
when that delicacy is raised in I'M
mense quantities in large fields. Just
imagine trenching a field OF several
acres extent! 1t used to be thought
that the only way to raise this plant
was to dig trenches three and four feet
deep and fill them with alternate lay
ers OF manure and turf mixed WIN
soil. These trenches were sometimes
not only three feet deep, but each one
was three feet wide. Practically all
the manure buried at such depth
was wasted. The asparagus is plant
that feeds near the surface. II re-
quires good deal OF water. but 1t does
not draw its food from the water. II
will not feed below the water table
in the soil. Today fields are well pre-
pared and enriched, and the planune
Of the asparagus roots proceeds apou'
as rapidly as does the planting OF po-
tatoes. The roots are placed AT
depth of foot or less, sometimes mol
more than a fourth of that. 1t Is bet
ter to place the plants at q depth o,
six inches or more. This is especially
the case when the plantation covers
large field, as it is necessary to cult1-
vate over the plants to keep down the
weeds. Shallow planting may give an
early yield for the first year or two,
but the plants will not be SO satisfac-
tory in years to come. Another old
fallacy was that of close planting
Fifty years ago the plantations OF as
paragus were mostly on small areas.
| 1t was no unusual thing to find the
| plants set in rows a foot apart and
six inches apart in the row. This In
few years gave a perfect network OF
roots in the soil. and the asparagus
| stalks were hardly larger than lead
pencils. Now the plants when set on
large areas are generally at least three
feet apart, and sometimes the rows
are four feet apart, with plants three
| feet apart in the rows.

Preventing Abortion.

A good deal has been said on sew
eral occasions in this department re-
garding the subject of contagious
abortion and its prevention, but many
seem to consider the work Of stopping
an outbreak too much to undertake.
1t strikes us that although there is In
deed deal of work entailed in carry
ing out a systematic attack on conta-
gious abortion, it pays for the trou-
Bile and should in every instance be
engaged in thoroughly. Some say that
carbolic acid cannot we'll be given 20
cattle when going upon grass, as the
animals cannot be drenched without
stabling, but one man at least has got
around this difficulty by mixing car
bollc acid in salt and allowing cattle
to lick the mixture at will. He says
that this plan has given as good re-
suits as dreuching, and we would adj
wise our readers to try it when there
is need Of the medicine. The acid
should be mixed in the salt in the pro-
portion OF one and one-h~f drachns
of acid to one pound of salt. If the
cattle will take sufflciency of this
mixture to get enough carbolic acid, 1t
is good plan, but If they do not care
for it, then it would be necessary to
give the customary preventive dose
(Which Is half a drachm twice daily
every other day. mixed in food or as a
drench in water. At the same time 1t
is to be remembered that the carboltc
acid treatment is not sufficiently re-
liable to do away with the advisability
of other treatment. AS the germ may
enter the body at the vagina it Is nee
essary to sponge the vulva, tail anc
hind quarters occasionally and the Oft
ener the better in bad outbreaks, and
also to treat the sheath of the bull ir
the same way. The latter treatment is
imperative for the reason that the buh

fountain syringe or long rubber hose

| to the vulva. viz: 1-1,OO0 solution
of chloride of zinc. Two gallons CT

feathers. Another variety, said to be
superior in these points, is called
Phoenix fowl. The Fung or Phoenix
fowl is one of the myths OF the Jap
anese religion, and is often seen in
Japanese pictures. 1t is thought the
Yok ohama fowls are like those often
seen in the paintings, hence the name
Phoenix is applied TO the breed. The
.ails of these fowls average about a
yard in length, and their colors and
general appearance are those of the
games.

Tobacco Notes.

From the reports of the weather bu-
reau we compile the following In
formation relative to the present con-
dition of the tobacco crop:
Kentucky-The plants generally are
rather small and thin in beds but ap-
pear to be in good condition other
wise.
Maryland and Delaware-Like all
other crops, tobacco has suffered from
the dry weather. In parts of Anne
Arundel the planters have plowed up
their beds preparatory to reseeding,
as the first seeding failed to come up.
In Prince Georges and Calvert coun-
ties the plants are small and back
ward. In parts of ST. Mary's county
the plants came up badly in late seed
ed beds, but in other parts of the sarle
county the beds are we'll filled. Cen
orally throughout the tobacco-groy5ing
districts the advance in blowing has
been quite satisfactory. The fly has
not yet appeared this season.
New England-Tobacco bees in good
condition.
New York-Tobacco beds made.
North Carolina-Tobacce beds are
still thin, but the plant% have made
good growth TRANSPORTING began
last week in several eastern counties.
out rain is needed to elable this work
TO be carried on extensively; on &C
eount of the small size of the plants a
little delay will not be harmful.
Ohio-Tobacco wants are doing fair
~ we'll.
South Caro1ioA-Much tobacco has
been transplant ed and good stands Sc
cured. Plants continue plentiful. The
acreage de-eted to tobacco will be
larger than ever before.
Tennassee-Tobacco plants are ready
to set insects have injured young
plants N some localities.
Virginia-Tobacco plants continue
backward.

Feed for Calves.

A report from the Kansas station
says: Kaff1r corn meal has proven to
be d superior feed for calves. It seems
to be constipating, and materially as
sists in checking the tendency TO
scours, so common with calves. Ex-
periments at this station show that
calves will begin eating shel1ed corn
when three to four weeks old and will
do as we'll or even better than when
fed corn chop. When possible it is
desirable to feed mixture of shelled
and ground Kaff1r corn. Soy beans
have been tested at this station as
calf feed, and all results indicate that
they are not adapted to young calves
in any quantity whatever. They are
very loosening and cause scours
Calves will begin to nibble at hay
about the same time they commence to
eat grain. When from six to eight
weeks old. the calves under expert
ment at the Kansas Agricultural col
lege consumed from one-half to one
pound daily per head. Mixed orchard
grass and prairie hay are best. Alfalfa
hay proves to be too loosening Tor
young calves, though it may be gradu-
ally introduced into the ration after
from three to four months. Nothing
but clean, bright hay should be Of
fered to calves. At times considerable
difficulty is experienced from scours
when calves are suddenly turned on
pasture. This can be overcome by
feeding a little green feed before max
ing the change. Give a forkful the
first feed, two forkfuls the second feed
and so on till the calves get all the
green feed they want; when they can
be turned on the pasture without in
jury.

CochinS.

II IOIh thS II al INCL AeC'iS"' hS
Cochin breed given recognition in the
American Standard of Perfection are
Buff. Partridge, White and Black.
These four varieties have merits to
recommend them to those who may
fancy their color, their individual
merit as breed, worthy as things of
beauty and usefulness, genleness OF
disposition and the fact that they are
heavy, short-legged, snall-winged, not
inclined to fly fences. This recon-
mends them as fowls easily kept in
Enclosures, where Cochins are given
range, are systematically fed and cared
for they prove good Inter layers OF
large brown-~helled eggs, on an aver
age not SO large as a Brahma egg. yet
equally rich in nutrinent. When bred
to the long loose feathered type now
in demand by the fancier, they Will
not compare as layers with other more
closely feathered breeds and varieties.
Having bred them for fifteen years I
feel confident when l make the
statement that as winter l;.yers from
the time they are fully moulted in
December to March they will lay as
many eggs as any other breed known.
During summer they tend to get fat
and breed lice more abupdantly than
most other varieties, with shorter
plumage. This fault, however, can
easily be remedied by liberal use OF
insect powder and clean nests. Cochins
are not bred so extensively to-day as
they were some years ago. The farmer
In his Indifferent manner Of keeping
chickens cannot get as many eggs
from them as he can from closer
teathered breeds. AS meat producers
they do not mature as rapidly to a
Iresentable and salable size as other
breeds, VIII Sc feathering is shorter and
more rapidly grown. The young have
deeply planted pin-feathers that at
Trying age are objectionable; when
well matured no meat from any fowls
is more tender or juicy than that OF
the Cochins. Their excess of feather
ing on legs and toes make them OBJ
jectionable as a farmers fowl. If
however, kept on grass lawn nothing
shows up more conspicuously than a
uniform flock OF Cochins. The Buff
variety has been popular for many
years. Those who once breed them
as rule find much to say in their
praise. The Partridge variety with Its
rich mahogany brown (every feather
laced with a double or triple pencil
ing OF black is admired by all who
| have ever seen truly superior speci-
men. The male, with his solid black
breast, rich red Iacing of neck hackle
| around a greenish black stripe, the
same color on back, is very
attractive in appearance. Then their
massiveness and carriage is always
majestic. OF the black and white
Cochins there are not as many supe-
rior specimens bred or shown. Cross
ing Cochins with Plymouth Rocks OF
WyandSttes produces a very rapidly
grops1e >Sick. It also causes an in.
crease in egg production, but theil
character for form and beauty OF
plumage is lost when again outcross
ing. Such become mongrels, undesir.

CONVICT CONTRACT
OF PULASKI AGAIN AWARDED TO
JOHN NJ GRACiE.
Hereafter County Will Appoint a
Warden and Assume Full Re-
sponsiblity.

County Judge w. NJ. kavanaugh at
noon aSturday awarded the contract
for the county prisoners to Col. John
Mr.. Oracle for the year 1902. He has
held the contract for several years,
working the men at his plantations IN
Jefferson county and paying the coun-
ty 25 cents day for each day worked
by each convict and bearing all eX
penses. The new contract was to
have been awarded on January ,, but
was postponed in order to give other
parties an opportunity to be heafd.
Only one other bid was received, that
of Mr. J. c. Cross. of Pendleton. who
offered the county 20 cents day, and
all expenses except superlntendencE,
nothing being said of transportation.
Colonel Oracle made two propositions.
which Judge kavanaugh will consider
as to their desirability One Of them
proposes to pay the county 8 cents Il
day for each day worked by each con
vct and furnish the stockade and
kitchen. the county to furnish trans
pOrtation. food clothing and medical
attention The county shall furnish
the superintendent and shall have
control of the convicts. holding the
contractor free from any liability
arising from the management. BY the
other proposition the contractor shall
pay the county 33 2-3 cents a day for
each day worked. and pay all eX-
penses except transportation and the
salary of the warden or superlntend-
ent. Hitherto the contractor has as
sumed all the responsibility for the
care of the prisoners. The new con
tract expressly provides that it does
not include white women, and boys
and girls. white OF cOlored, under
