a pedestal as compared with other

Should the experiments in progress

Should the experiments in progress
in the ncighborhood Of Berne prove as
successful as is anticipated, travellers
to Switzerland in the summer Of this
year will be able to cross the noun
tains by automobile instead Of the
usual post diligence. The actual trials
will be made in the spring, and the
result, II successful, will be not only
to allow travellers to make the differ
ent journeys in half the time. but to
oper to automobilists the chance Of
driving over the mountain roads,
which are at present closed to them
on account of the horses.

Chickens and Euus.

Chickens and eggs have long been
considered one of the minor crops of
the farm, and only Indifferent success
effort has not been made to get the
most out of them. II we devote the
same attention to their needs as we do
to the main crops we will soon find
that instead Of a minor crop chickens
and eggs may easily lead all others for
a great many localities, writes Annie G.
Webster, the well known poultry au-
thority. The man or woman who ac-
cepts this doctrine, and then pro-
ceeds to carry 1t into effect. will soon
realize that there are surer returns
than in half the other farm products.
There must be experience enough to
make the handling of chickens on
wholesale scale of course. With two or
three thousand hens on the farm one
stands in fair way of making a good
income. But that means carefG, meth
ods and study. Let 1t be understood,
however, that chicken raising cannot
be entirely separated from farming.
We farm to raise the chickens. That is,
we must raise grass for the chickens,
fruits, grain and vegetables. To make
these thoroughly profitable we need a
number of cows, for skimmilk and
warm milk are an essential part of the
food of chickens.
The ideal poultry farm is one where
the chief commercial crop is chickens
and their eggs, but where grass, grain,
fruit and few cows are raised. The
owner of a poultry farm should raise
all the summer fruits needed for the
table, all the vegetables that can be
eaten at home, with enough for the
poultry, all the grass he will need for
the chickens, and hay for wintering
few cows, and all the milk and butter
for home use. Here we have one crop
helping another. We plant few acres
Of clover, which gives the chickens
fresh green food in the season and good
hay for winter. The fruits supply the
table with what we need, and then add
to the diet of the chickens. Likewise
the vegetables lessen the cost of our
living, and give to the egg layers the
very food they require. In such a sys-
TEN of farming, eggs and chickens are
the commercial crops, and everything
should contribute directly toward this,
but the other crops should be raised in
sufficient quantity to supply what is
demanded for home use A farm con-
Quoted In this way is bound to pay.

Keen the Cows Clean.

Nothing Is more important than
proper attention to the cleanliness of
the cows and the stable. Filth not
only serves as a breeding place for flies
in summer, but draws them around to
irritate the cows; and all good dairy
men know the difference in milk yield
between quiet and disturbed cows. BY
keeping the stables clean-which is
always done by the most prominent
and successful dairymen, and which is
not done by the general run Of those
in this business, greatly to their loss
the cows are kept clean much more cas-
lily, and when both stable and cows are
clean you have gone far in the right
direction. Clean, wholesome milk can
not be had from rooms impregnated
with filth, Notwithstanding the care
used in scrubbing the pans and buck
cts.
One has only to travel through the
average country to note the filth that
generally surrounds the cows quarters.
Many are SO careless as not to furnish
daily bedding nor daily stall cleaning,
but allow the cows to lie in filth for
days. Milk, as is well known, readily
absorbs impurities from the air, and
these impurities greatly hasten decom-
position, In the south it is very dim
cult to procure mixers who will milk
the cows dry and handle them gently,
observing cleanly habits. They are so
noisy and rough that serious loss is
caused. The sight of herd of clean,
healthy cows is a pleasing one, and is
the best advertisement possible with
those who care about the source Of
their milk supply. But what decent per-
son wants to patronize filthy milk
man and use the milk from a filthy
herd? Keep your cows clean and your
stables clean.-Albert d. Warner, in
New York Tribune Farmer.

Punctuality buttons and book
stamps are two new devices that are
being used with marked success in the

to a pupil at the beginning of the
school month, and he wears 1t until he

Packing for Good Returns.

Dealers complain that the average
farm-packed apples and other fruit are
notNproperly put up. They say that the
man who sorts his own apples is like
ly to consider them all first-class,
whether they are such or not, and he
grades them accordingly. If he leaves
the sorting to incompetent hired help.
the result is still worse. Even when
well sorted, many barrels are so poor
ly headed up and so loosely hooped that
some barrels break open, while others
are so loosely packed that after the
journey the fruit does not fill the bar
rel, the fruit shakes about and is
bruised and dented. The following de-
tailed and readable suggestions along
this line are contributed by Charles
Forster. prominent New York COM
mission merchant:
What the markets require Is quality
FIRST and quantity next. Let peaches be
well graded. with but one variety In q

crate Of raspberries or strawberries
scantily filled never brings its value.

latter be new whenever and wherever
possible. The apple barrel adopted by

The Market End Of FARMING.


Frank B. White, the specialist on
advertising thinks that. while the
grower could not take too much pains
In packing his fruit honestly and at
tractively, he should not fail to an
nounce publicly what he had for sale.
He should also fix the price himself,
not let others fix 1t for him. In addi-
ton to newspaper advertisements, ac-
cording to MIR. White, he should pre-
pare a booklet or circular and send 1t
to every one attracted by the news
paper announcements. The specialists
advice applies fully as well to other
country products. such as pure-bred
live stock, fancy poultry, honey, maple
sweets, canned goods and all special
products, where the demand is limited
and the margin Of profit large enough
to pay for liberal outlay in finding
customers.
