Poor sIrds at HIob prie.s

Recently man that knows told the
writer that 1t Is the practice OF some
poultry raisers to sell much stock not
Of their own raising. This is not
fair method Of dealing. though it can.
not be checked by law. Thus one man
has a good establishment and has
built up an enviable reputation. He
raises some hundreds of fine birds a
year, being careful to have them OF
good stock and highly bred. But he
receives orders not for hundreds but
for thousands of birds. He should de.
cline to I'LL the orders for his stock
after his supply is exhausted, but he
does not. He sends his wagons out
into the country to pick up everything
he can find Of the breeds he Is
handling. He purchases the fowls at
say 80 cents each. He resells them at
several dollars each, for his customers
are willing to pay good price for
first-class stock. How many of the
customers Of this man would accept
the stock sent to them II they knew
II was gathered from the farms at ran.
dom?
On the average farm no particular
care is taken to keep the poultry stock
absolutely pure. Generally pure breds
and grades run together. The result
OF their crossing is not always easily
discernible by people not experts In
the judging of fowls. "A few feathers
on color or a few points missing on
the comb would not be noticed. Hence
the ease with which such stock is
sold
The poultryman that does this kind |
OF business is quite sure to be found |
out In the end, and his fine reputation
and trade will disappear together. |
More than one man has come to this
end in the poultry business. The
breeding OF pure blood fowls should
be surrounded with every safeguard
to insure their freedom from ont.
crosses. Moreover the trusting buyer
naturally supposes that his purchases
have been bred and reared under ideal
conditions. that they have been ex.
posed to neither lice nor disease
Birds collected from everywhere are
likely to bring both lice and disease.
The above mentioned practice can
hardly be too severely condemned. II
Is getting money under false pre-
lenses. Every honest dealer should
do what he can to make this practice

sheep Matters in Indiana

From Farmers Review: The cat
tie feeders are in the valley of depres-
sion. Large numbers have turned to
sheep feeding and 1904 may record
some disappointments in this line.
The American farmers resemble sheep
In this particular. When one jumps
the fence they all go like flock OF
sheep" No business is characterized
by such a range OF vicissitudes as the
sheep business. II we could only
learn to stick to the bush," like the
boy picking berries, 1t would be bet
ter all around. In the writer's ex-
perience Of many years with sheep,
and never without them, there has
never been time when sheep were
not handled with profit. Sometimes
meager, to be sure, but nevertheless
a profit. Prices were rather bearish
on wool until the entire clip was out
OF the farmers hands-then up she
went like a liberated "teeter-board."
The Indiana Wool Growers Associa-
ton proposes to look into this matter
to some extent and see II there be any
remedy. There are numerous fiocks
OF sheep In this territory; but much
OF the land that is of most value for
sheep raising is still without any of
these woolly inhabitants. Il would
go a mile to kick sheep was the ex-
preston Of a man who confessed that
he never learned to care for sheep
and they always lost him money. I
would recommend that he handle
mules--more nearly akin to him. The
kicking might 60 the other way.
Flocks are looking well. The aver
age farmer Of Indiana is learning a
thing or two about sheep and the
focks have made corresponding i'm
provement In the last few years.
There is considerable inquiry for
small aocks, and sheep business win
be likely to show marked increase

Side Shows at Fairs.

Within few years the most objec.
tionable features of the side shows at
state and county fairs have been elm
mated. 1t was not so long ago that
some Of these shows were so indecent
as TO draw upon the fair managers
strong condemnation and energetic
protests. From year to year we have
noted a steady improvement, till In
most cases the really Objectionable
features have disappeared The prin.
cipal criticism now made is that these
shows are mostly worthless. They
neither instruct nor entertain. The
crowd Is assured that inside the tent
1t will hear the real Georgia min.
strels." The crowd enters, expecting
to hear some good singing. The whole
thing proves to be farce, as any one
among the audience could sing as well
as the people on the platform. So 1t
Is with the Indian war dance. One
aborigine pounds a drum, while an.
other limps around singing How, how,
howl" But people don't object; they
expect that sort Of thing at the fair.
As the side show cannot be eliminated
L should be improved. 1t can be made
both entertaining and instructive.

Good Cows Needed.

In a communication to the Farmers
Review, Joseph. Newman says: Most
OF our diaries have too many cow
boarders who consume more than
their milk sells for. We must not get
discouraged, but by continuing the
education OF our dairymen to use the
scales and Babcock test to determine
which cows to keep; to build and I'LL
silos, grow alfalfa. and feed bal.
anced ration. the Improbable board
ers will disappear. and America will
be looked to as the home OF the bes,
dairy cattle.

IT'S A MISTAKE.

20 Attribute Coffee It's to Poor

Many people lay all the blame for
the diseases caused by coffee upon
the poorer grades OF coffee but this is
an error as the following proves: Il

grade of tea and coffee that can be
got from FIRST class grocer but never
found one that would not upset my

headaches grew less and il was not

tressing trouble for nowadays never
drink coffee but stick to Postum.
"As soon as my wife saw what Pos
tum had done for me shs gave up
coffee, which she had drank all her
life. This was six weeks ago and
she is a changed woman. for her ner-

lumpy Jaw.

A communication from the Indiana
station says: This disease more often
affects cattle than other animals. It
is due to fungus sometimes called
the ray fungus or actinomycosis. The
fungus occurs upon grass and other
vegetation and Il is only when 1t be-
comes introduced into the tissues that
1t causes trouble. The disease comes
from eating and outside sources and
is not contagious in the usual sense
Of the word. Several animals may be-
come affected while on the same pas
ture, but this is due to all being ex-
posed alike. Some years the number
of cases is greater than others, owing
to the greater development of this
fungus. The disease affects the jaw
more often than other parts, due to
the fact that the tissues are some
times broken in the act OF chewing
and thus permitting infection. Any
part of the body may be attacked.
The disease is comparatively easy
to treat A drachm OF iodide Of pot
ash Is given twice a day, for two
weeks to twenty days. For cattle
weighing twelve hundred pounds or
more the dose Is somewhat increased
and lessened for calves. II pus be
present in the lump 1t should be let
out by incision. In few refractory
cases second period of treatment
may be required after resting for ten
days. About eighty per cent of recov-
cries may be expected. Affected ami
mails should be kept away from the
healthy and on the pasture field. In
the case of mich cows the milk should
not be used. This state does not pay
Tor such animals when 1t Is found
necessary to destroy them.--A. w.

A primeval forest. containing 120.-
600 camphor trees, measuring from
seven to eighteen feet in circumfer-

Formosa. 1t is estimated that the yield
Of camphor gum from these trees will
amount to thirteen million pounds. The
