nothing more than a band or is con

Many of the plain cloth costumes

Buttons Are Important.
Buttons are to play an important

Feeding for Eggs.

From Farmers Review would
not advise any one that has a good,
healthy flock to undertake doctoring
them with antidotes with view of
forcing egg production, either sum-
mer or winter. On most farms there
are plenty of feeds that would go to-
wards making a perfect balanced ra-
ton, if we take advantage of it. The
secret in making hens lay is simply
providing them with suitable feed,
and it's a safe way. Corn, wheat,
oats, barley and millet seed are good
poultry feeds, some do not believe in
corn, but their reasons are mostly
like the small boys because" The
Agricultural Experiment Stations tell
us that corn is one of the very best
feeds for poultry, but they do not tell
us to feed it exclusively; still more,
cool reasoning would not suggest
that we feed it exclusively.
The natural makeup Of their feed
Is a variety: a little Of this and that
and constant exercise in procuring
It. Some tell us to make them
scratch for their feed, more correct
way to say 1t would be to let them
scratch for their feed; trey would
rather do It than not, besides. it does
away with gorging and encouraging
a lazy lumix disposition. Corn ex-
clusively, or in fact wheat or millet is
too heavy and too rich, something to
make bulk must be added. l know of
nothing better than wheat bran to
balance up a heavy rich feed-it's so
common though that it is hardly pop
ular. Bran makes bulk, not only
bulk, but it clears the passages and
keeps the digestive organs in condi-
ton. Bran alone would be too light
for an exclusive feed. besides, it
would not be in line with nature to
feed nothing else. The craw is
grinding mill and we must keep it at
work.
The different grains would not be
a perfect feed alone; grass, insects
and dozens of things we hardly think
of, go towards completing the nat
ural wants. Fowls on free range
usually find these extra knickknacks.
but peuned-up fowls or fowls in win
ter must have their equivalent in
some form. or they cannot do the
very best. Cut clover or alfalfa hay
initiates, cut vegetables initiate and
green cut bone helps to make sum.
mer out Of winter as near as it would
be possible. All these things are
within our reach and the time re-
auired to procure them would return
a nice profit, these means will bring
eggs. and it's a safe way.-M. M.

ORIGINALITY that PAID.

Waiting for His Customer.

The cabman With a Fine Rig Was
Waiting for His Customer.
Originality with cabmen gives them
about the same measure of success
as is acquired in any other business.
A traveller who alighted at New Ha-
ven few days ago was surprised as
he walked out on the platform to see
a fine rig dash up toward him and to
hear a well dressed and polite cabby
say as he touched his hat: How do
you do, sir? l have been waiting for
YOU"
why how is that?" exclaimed the
visitor. Il came out here to look for
a scent carriage"
"Oh, if that's the case, you'll find
them over there" added the cabby,
pointing to the trolley cars, but I'll
carry you more comfortably and it'll
only cost you quarter"
We'll. if that's the case, and you've
been waiting for me, would be sorry
to disappoint you, and guess I'll have
to let you take me up in the town,
and the visitor climbed into the hack
while the bright cabby cracked his
whip gleefully as he ratified up the
street.-New York Times.

Little Australian Butter in Englands
We are still increasing our pur-
chases of foreign and colonial dairy
produce. The quality Of butter re-
ceived during the five weeks ended
August 80 was 453.7S8 cwts., being
an increase of 74,570 cwts. over the
corresponding period Of last year. OF
this quantity 393,632 cwts. came from
foreign countries and 60,156 cwts
from Canada. Denmark. as usual,
was the chief supplier with 171,676
cwts, Russia coming next with &c.
S19 cwts. During the same period
464,743 cwts. Of cheese were import
ed, being an increase Of 116,031
cwts. over last years figures. OF this
quantity Canada supplied 4O1, 795
cwts., and foreign countries 62.94S.
OF the latter the chief suppliers are
Holland, 1888 cwts., and the United
States, 1896 cwts.
Messrs. Weddel and Co. in theii
latest market report say: The de-
mand for Canadian butter is some
what checked by the lower prices at
which inferior buffers are offered,
and which, retailing at a shilling q
pound, bring the retailers a greater
profit than Canadian. 1t is true the
consumer gets an inferior butter, but
that is his fault, for not being willing
to pay more than shilling. In Can
ada prices are advancing, and the
lowest quotations have been left be-
hind. Choicest" Canadian on the
spot makes 96s. to 9Ss. per cwt. for
salt, with Is. to IS. more for saltless.
In reply to cable asking what
were the prospects of Australian sup
plies of butter for the coming season
we have received the following re-
ply: "Butter-there is every pros
pect of exports being much less than
last year." This information agrees
with the views Of all who are in in
innate touch with Australia. When il
is remembered that last year the i'm
ports from Australia were only 7,44e
tons, against 1856 tons for the pre-
vious year, the seriousness OF the
above cable becomes apparent to ey
cry buyer of Australian butter fol
the coming season.-Dairy World

How We House Our Barred and Buff
Rocke In Winter

How We House Our Barred and Buff
Rocks in Winter.
From Farmers Review:-When
We began raising fancy poultry like
many others We made many mistakes
In the construction Of our buildings.
We arranged the houses to suit the
ground instead Of convenience for our
selves and comfort for the fowls. Our
first house faced the west. Was COW
cred with she'd roof made of boards.
The floor was Of earth. The roosts
were made Of strips and hung to the
wall with hinges, so as to be raised
up out Of the way when cleaning out
the droppings. But we soon came to
grief. A skunk burrowed under but
failed to get out before we arrived. A
short war followed. HE paid with
his life for the keen pleasures Of a
moment" The moles worked up the
floor and the hens by wallowing in the
dust made it almost impossible to
clean. The roof leaked and the sun
only got into the house during the
afternoon. Our next building was
made with gable roof. 1t was twelve
feet wide and long enough for three
pens. This house faced the south.
About twothirds Of the roof sloped to
the north, thus giving greater height
to the side through which We wished
the sunshine to enter. In this we
placed a cinder floor. We covered the
roof with shingles. Used common
boards for siding and lined it with
building paper. placing window two
feet square in each pen about a foot
from the ground. The fowls did fine
| in this house. We were never troubled
with frosted combs and have found it
warm enough for a brooder house dur
ing February. The great trouble with
this shed was the large space in the
gable and the cinders on the floor
made it difficult to clean. This season
we have erected four-pen house fac
ing the south, making it five feet high
on the north side and eight feet on the
south. The siding is common stock
boards and the cracks are battoned
The lining is of heavy felt paper. The
roof is of shingles. We placed four
windows two feet square in the south
side. These are about eighteen inches
from the floor. We also placed an out
side door into each adjoining lot. We
sided up the partitions solid for two
feet and finished out with lath. A dool
hung on spring hinges was placed be
tween each pen. The feature Of thi:
house was the cement floor. The
roosts were small tressels placed ovel
dropping boards, making it easy tt
clean out and the litter is kept of
Of the floor. We think this house is {

Iowa as a Dairy State.

H. R. Wright, dairy commissioner OF
Iowa, says: Iowa is a great dairy
state. The creameries of the state an
nually make about SO,000,000 pounds
of butter. The census Of 1900 says
that we make 81, 7S9. 1888 pounds of but.
ter on our farms. The same authority
says that there is made in the United
States 42Q,954. 016 pounds Of creamery
butter and 1.071,745,127 pounds OF
butter produced on farms. So that
Iowa, with scoops square miles of area,
produces almost 20 per cent Of the
creamery butter, and nearly 10 per
cent of all the butter made in the
United States. The value of our dairy
products is about $2S,000,0 900 annually,
to which must be added the value OF
milk and cream consumed as such,
and the value of the skinned milk
and other by-products which must ag-
gregate, perhaps $5,000,000 more. All
of these figures are very large and
naturally are source of some pride
to those engaged or interested in the
dairy business, But our pride in this
does not increase our bank accounts.
The average number Of cows kept
by the creamery patron is only seven,
and the average butter production per
COW is less than 140 pounds. If it is
true that it costs s25 per acre to keep
a COW it. will be seen that there is not
an extraordinary profit in the product
of the average COW. The profits in
dairying would be larger and more
certain if the COWS were fed and cared
for with more attention to proper
methods, and the number of cows
would be very much greater if the
possible profits in dairying were better
understood.

The Dry Cow.

From Farmers Review:-The dry
COW that is to be fresh in March or
April often has a hard time during
winter. She is turned with the year
ling or two-year-old steers, and with
them gets the run of the corn fields,
and at other times receives only corn
fodder for her daily ration; or, prob
ably, with her companions she takes
her chances at the straw pile. Pro
gressiye farmers have learned that
corn stalks or wheat straw alone do
not give profitable growth on young
stock, nor satisfactory gains on older
ones. In fact, they have decided that
instead of getting profit from their
rough feed they often lose the profit
obtained on last summers pasture, and
all has to be done over again next
summer. Surely the dry COW should
have our sympathy. True, she may
not be turned into money very soon.
II steers fail to grow or gain on such
food. much less could we expect a dry
COW to produce well-developed calf
and feed it we'll afterwards on such
food. Then she is not only expected
to feed the little youngster. but to
give one-half of her milk to the family.
II this supply is given, the COW must
be storing a reserve force when dry.
II allowed to rough it through she all
the while gives away from her own
system instead of laying up a surplus
for future needs. Glover hay with
some corn or bran with corn fodder
and timothy hay will be fairly good
ration for the dry COW. Do not feed
too sparingly of the bran foods.-W
