The Fat of Fowls.

To properly fatten a fowl is
science. That fowl is not properly
fattened which has large amount OF
fat in layers under the skin and
around the intestines. Around the
intestines it may be, but the flesh
should be rather permeated by fat
than surrounded by fat. The flesh
should be evenly infiltrated by fat.
Fat should not show through the skin,
nor should there be any fat under the
skin to show no matter how thin the
skin may be. In France a well-fat-
tened bird is one that has good sup
ply of flesh over the back. When that
is attained the buyers feel certain that
the breast meat is in good condition,
as fat more readily accumulates on
the back than on the breast. To fat
ten birds properly requires food rich
in nitrogen as well as carbohydrates.
1t also requires some attention to
breeding, as the quality to fatten prop
erly must be inbred to very con-
siderable extent. AS yet we have
done little along the line of determin-
ing what breeds fatten most perfectly
Probably in each breed will be found
strains of fowls that have the desired
qualities. Before long, experimental
ton will without doubt be made along
this line. The result should greatly
improve the quality of the fattened
fowls we see in our markets.

Moist Air in lncubators.

The incubator which will furnish
its air nearly or quite saturated with
moisture, so as to prevent drying of
the embryo at any stage, will prevent
the larger proportion of the deaths in
the last stages OF incubation, and fur
nish large and stronger chicks to be
brooded, says a bulletin of the Rhode
Island Station. 1t would seem to be
preferable to allow the heated air to
pass over a wicking or cloth saturated
with moisture just before or upon en-
tering the incubator. 1t is doubtful
room will ever be fully satisfactory
on account of the atmospheric
changes. although much may be done
by keeping the room closed. Where
comparatively tight. unventilated
rooms are used, the continual burning
of lamps goes far toward using up the
oxygen and raising the temperature
outside the incubators, so that more
moisture is necessary. To wait for
the heated air to take up necessary
moisture from pans within the incu-
bator, seems subject the eggs also
to the same influence, and to permit
their moisture to be taken up. All
tendencies of this kind will be avoided
Wen the air is admitted saturated
with moisture, or nearly SO, after be-
Ing heated.

Success With Gathered Cream.

s. E. Oaks in an address to Wiscon-
sin buttermakers said:
If a gathered creamery is run right,
and it can be if men of the right kind
are at the head of it, the first thing is
a good number one buttermaker, and
in picking out a good number one
buttermaker do not pick out a man
who, when you go into his test room,
you will find his sample jars all
smeared up with cream from the top
to the botto-, SO that anyone cannot
see through them. | would not want
that kind of a man because If he is
dirty and slack in the test room and
with his sampling jars he will be
slack with his other work, and If you
get one that is clean and understands
making butter, and the creamery is
run right, and you use box churns
and wheel workers so that you will
know how much salt you want to use
in your butter and will not have to
guess at it, think the best grade of
butter can be made and get the high
est market price at gathered cream
cry; but if a combined churn is used
in a gathered creamery you do not
know anything about how much salt
to use, but | will admit they are all
right for lazy man. l will say that
if a gathered creamery is run right,
and it can be, the patrons will get a
larger profit than they can from any
separator factory. 1t should be a CO.
operative creamery and the overrun,
or profit, should be going back to the
patrons and making them better sat
isfied than if it were going into. the
hands of an individual.

Pure Water for Butter Washing.

Pure Water for Butter Washing.
The keeping quality of butter de-
ponds very greatly on the water In
which 1t is washed. II the water looks
clear it is generally supposed to be
pure. But the microscope has shown
that the water that looks as clear as
crystal is frequently the abiding place
OF disease germs as well as OF ferment
germs of various kinds. We predict
that the time will come when butter
made in our first-class creameries Will
be washed in sterilized water. There
have been numerous cases where but
ter made under highly scientific con-
ditions has gone off favor in short
time and subsequent Investigations
has shown that the apparently pure
water in which it was washed was
the cause. In the home of the farmer
the well is usually depended on to fur
nish water for washing butter as well
as for other uses. Too often the well
Is dirty from different causes. We
have seen such wells where the water
actually was odorous with decaying
animal life. Yet after the water be-
came tainted it was still used for
weeks by the family. One such well
on being cleaned out was found to
contain great masses of dead angle
worms. 1t is no unusual thing Tor
frogs and even mice to get into wells
and become decayed before their pres
ence is detected. Even when nothing
Of this kind exists the water may not
be pura enough to use for the washing
Of butter. Germs of many kinds cap
able Of reproducing themselves In the
butter may be in the water. 1t Is an
easy matter for the farmer to boil
water used for the washing Of butter.
This is advisable certainly when long
keeping butter is desired. 1t would
not be amiss to use sterilized water at
all times. Could we but bring 1t into
general use in the washing Of butter
the spread of disease would be pre-
vented in some degree. 1t has been
shown that even in butter typhoid few
er and other disease germs have been
carried.

HOW TO PRINT a Book.
Cannot BE Taught in an Essay or a
Volume.


How properly to plan or print a book
is not to be taught in an essay or even
in a volume. AS we'll try to give
formula for the painting of picture CT
the writing of a poem, says the Outlook.
1t must be presupposed that the planner
of new book is familiar with WELL
printed books, that he has some knowl-
edge of the processes of printing and
that he will take counsel with experts,
Refusal to seek this counsel often leads
to serious consequences.
An author who insisted on being his
own publisher began an extensively IL
Illustrated quarto before page was put
in type by ordering the full-page illus
trations to be printed in an improper
position on the leaf. In disregard of an
other protest from the topographic
printer he insisted on faulty margins
about the pages of type. When the
sheets were gathered by the binder the
complete book showed too much back
margin for the type and too little for
| the illustrations. The binder had to cut
off the backs of the folded sections to
reduce all the print to single leaves and
to resew each leaf by an expensive and
unworkmanlike method. So treated,
the book barely passed acceptance. The
lost time, wasted paper, increased cost
and bad workmanship could have been
avoided if the author had formed plan
and counseled with an expert.

POWER OF THE MARsEILLAIsE.

Nothing of the kind in this world can

son, in the Atlantic. observed that the
chorus of young men who led the sing
ing never once looked at the notes, and
few even had any, so familiar was it to
all. There was perfect hush in that
vast audience while the softer parts
were sung; and nc one joined even in
the chorus at first, for everybody was
listening. The instant, however, that
strain closed, the applause broke like
tropical storm, and the c.apping of
hands was like the taking fight of
thousand doves all over the vast arena.
Behind those twinkling hands the light
dresses of the ladies and the blue
blouses of workingmen seemed them
selves to simmer in the air; there was
no coarse noise OF pounding on the
floor or drumming on the seats, but
there was vast cry of IBIS! Bisl" sent
up from the whole multitude, demand
| ing a repetition. The moment the first
verse was sung through for the second
time, several thousand voices Joined in
the chorus; then the applause was re-
doubled, as if they had gathered new
sympathy from one another; after
which there was still one more great APP
plauding gust, and then an absolute
| quiet.

A writer in Macmillan's Magazine Of
fers in an article on printers errors
some superb "mixes," as blenddngs of
alien paragraphs are called. We borrow
couple. The first owes its character to
an interpoiated line from report Of a
public meeting:

of j. S. Terry, schoolmaster. of a son.

The second occurred in description
of the campaign of Roman Catholic mis-
sionaries in Central Africa:
"They are accustomed to begin their
work by buying heather children and
educating them. The easiest and best
way to prepare them is TO first wire
them with a clean towel then place
them in dripping-pans and bake them
until they are tender. After which cut
them in slices and cook for several

SYMPTOMS OF BUCK FEVER.
A Mtchigan's Mans First Experience
with a Deer.


A Marquette citizen tells the Mar
quette Mining Journal his experience
with "buck fever" He had never tried
TO shoot a deer, and hunting them was
new to him. After spending few hours
tramping through the woods, feeling
tired, he sat down OF log TO rest for
short time. Now. like most hunters, he
had taken his pipe and tobacco along.
Filling the pipe, he smoked for time
without interruption, when, happening
to turn his head little to one side, he
saw a large buck coming straight
toward him. AS luck would have it,
he had sat down to smoke near deer
trail.
The deer kept getting nearer and
nearer, until he got nearly opposite the
place where the hunter sat concealed.
While the hunter was watching the APP
proach of the deer he forgot that he had
a gun, and that the deer was his "meat."
He began to tremble and shake in every
limb and joint, and it was a difficult
matter for him to restrain a yell of
fright. He watched and trembled until
the deer was passing his hiding place
and into the thicket beyond. Then, feel
ing for his pipe, he discovered that it
lay on the ground near his feet. By
the time he had picked it up the deer
was out of range, and then he discov=
cred that in his excitement he had bit
ten the mouthpiece of his pipe in two.
He was greatly relieved to see the deer
move on, as it seemed to him that he was
the game and the deer the hunter.

~v NY LITTLE BOY.

When my little boy is gone.
House so lonesome all the day,
j can hardly stand the quiet
And / want TO get away.
Silence seems like something real,
And 1t settles like a stone y
On my heart until-God help me;
When my little boy is gone.
When my little boys away,
Everything seems kind Of blue;
And his playthings in the corner
Act as II they missed him. too. -
Hold their little hands to me,
Like there's something they would say
Mutely calling for their MASTER
When my little boys away.
But thank my God for this, -
II is only for awhile,
Till I'll hear his happy prattle
And will see his dimpled smile.
With a heart of gratitude
For the hope 1 thus enjoy,
Do l pray the common Father
To protect my little boy.
l would rather see his face,
Hear his happy laughter ring,
Have him tell me that he loves me,
Than to be a sceptered king. %
And ask no boon but this:
Just to hear him at his play;
That the child who came from heaven
May abide with me Away.
When my little boy comes back,
He'll drive out this beastly quiet;
He will fill the still. old house
With his happy, childish riot.
All his playthings will be glad
And there won't be any lack
OF the sweetness of the sunshine,
When my little boy comes back

Before the lecturer, DR.. Albertson,

adopted by the audience by a rising

of the assembly, that our heartiest

the citizens of Waxahachie who have
had part in the good work, for the
splendid improvements made in the

full and spacious new auditorium,
which is the equal in style and

in the country.
For this splendid exhibition Of lib

of the word "Chautau |

he, means great deal. 1t means an
idea; place; school. 1t means |
the cultivation of the intellect and |
the development of our moral and |

musical gift dates back almost as far
as his first birthday. When a mere
puppy, before his dog character was
formed, Clito gave evidence of an in
tense interest in music. He tried
hard to follow tune played on the
piano. At first there were frogs in
his throat, and his ideas of pitch
were usually at odds with the cor
rect views on the subject.
But Clito, under close teaching,
persevered with a courage that knew
no setbacks, and it was not long be-
