good enough to be adopted bodily and
sung in two of the late Charles Hoyt's

Economy In Poultry Foods.

There should be no waste in the keep
ing of poultry, and as fowls are partial
to nearly all kinds of food they will
search for and secure much that would
not be available for large stock. There
are many articles on farm that go to
waste, such as shaken wheat in the stub
ble-field, hay-seeds grass, etc., but
which are converted by the hens into
eggs, especially in spring, summer and
fall. This is source of profit which
some do not consider, and when the cost
of eggs is estimated it is but right to
credit the hens with that which they
save. A flock of fowls will pick up an
enormous amount of waste food in a
year, including injurious insects, and on
some farms the receipts from eggs are
almost clear profit, no expense in their
production being incurred.-Farm and

A HELPFUL SERVANT.
The Convenience nnd Economy of .
Small Gasoline Engine ON
the Farm.

have frequently spoken Of farm
shops and gasoline engines for farmers
work. l am just now running all my
poor apples through a homemade cider
mill, and the power is furnished by a
small gasoline engine, largely home
constructed-at an expense of about $50.
The power furnished is about two
horsepower. This engine will furnish
power to saw ordinary wood for stoves;
it will grind grain and bones, and do
nearly all the jobs about the farm that
take good deal of time if done by hand
work. 1t is not large enough for silo
work. The engine is easily managed
by boy, and, in fact, furnishes an i'm
mense amount of pleasure to a lad who
has any taste for machinery. 1t adds
a zest to work. The idea that it is diff
cult to run such an engine is mistake.
My boys have arrange the igniting OF
the engine by an electrical spark. The
cost of running is about one gallon OF
gasoline for ten hours for each horse
power. The cost of running my engine
to cover wood saving, grinding and
cider making for the year has not ex-
ceeded five dollars. Nut small item
is the readiness with which scythes can
be ground hoes sharpened and all of the
farm tools kept in keen working order.
A large farm would require an engine
from four to six horsepower, possibly
an eight horsepower. No one ever sees
the little machine in operation without
expressing pleasure and surprpise. 1t
has led to the setting up of a good many
others, not only on farms, but in meat
shops, ice cream factories, etc. In fact,
the use of the gasoline engine and it's
general value can hardly be overesti-
mated l should say that it stood for
at least one hired man, and that in some
cases u would be equivalent to two or
three. When connected with lathe, it
will accomplish a great deal of mend
ing of tools and other repairs, which
would make the saving in single year
cover all the cost of the engine. Case
line should be bought by the barrel and
stored at such distance from buildings
that insurance will not be vitiated.
There are ways of wasting good deal
of gasoline, and this judicious farm
er will look out for. need not add that
a careless farmer has no business with
an engine A man. who lets his tools
take care of themselves, who is careless
about oiling and reckless about running,
will soon get into some sort of expensive
trouble. 1t would probably be best to
have a separate building for your en-
CINE if possible. This building need be
very inexpensive, and little more than

WHEN HOGS ARE LOUSY.
Then the Farmer Must Inaugurate n
Systematic Warfare OF Else
Suffer Dig Loss.

No farmer should even tolerate the
presence of lice on his hogs. What is
the sense of feeding 5O-cent corn to a
lot of measly lice, which not only live
on it's substance after the animal has
digested it, but that cause him such
uneasiness that he cannot properly di-
gest food? No hog can get as fat as it
should when 1t is lousy. The conscious
ness that it had lice would keep it
&C., r,-ar .-1,-~ 1;eestins and ossiniilat--
ing its food.
Farms that are clean of lice should
be kept clean. Where hogs on farm
are lousy, no pains or expense should
be spared in getting rid of the lice be-
fore the winter season. Every farm
should have a dipping tank and it will
pay to run hogs through it once
month even if they are not lousy; much
more so if they are
To rid farm of lice is not an easy
matter. 1t is not matter of day
or weeks, but dipping, keeping clean
beds, and whitewashing pens that will
in time get rid of them. Where farms
are clean every precaution should be
taken to prevent the introduction of
this nasty pest. You need to watch
carefully the boar or the brood SOW
that you purchase this fall.
We are sorry to say that some breed
ers' farms are lousy. No breeder
should permit hog to leave the farm
unless he is quite sure that it is free
from vermin. 1t should always iniure
the reputation of a breeder to be
caught sending out lousy hog. There
fore the buyer should always examine
carefully and see that the new arrival
is clean, and if lousy he should at
once register complaint against the
breeder. That is the way to reform the
bad methods that prevail among the
more careless sort of breeders.-Rural

Curiously enough, Proctor was first
appointed president of the commission
on the recommendation of Mr.. Rcose-

his service and who proposed Proctor
TO President Cleveland as the best man
to keep the commission going in a
democratic administration along the
lines laid down. Roosevelt and Cleve-

anything about the appointment in ad-

state geologist of Kentucky, a place
he had occupied for Is years, and he
was a member of the jury of awards
for mines and mining at the Column
hian exposition.
When Cleveland called him to Wash

Proctor objected. "The only thing l
am interested in," he said, sis the

take me away from that work"
"oh, don't bother about that" said
