He Chews His Cud.

John Won Shifferdecker of st. Louis
is, according to the statement of physi-
clans, one of the first men known TO
science as being afflicted with mar
seism, and affiiction which causes an
action of the stomach and jaws cor
responding to the Illuminating of cattle
and sheep. Since early childhood his
food has returned to his mouth after
being swallowed to be masticated and
swallowed again. In every respect his
peculiar practice is similar to the act
of cattle commonly known as Chew
ing the cud." Physicians state that o.
similar case in Germany is the only
other case reported in medical annals.
Shifferdecker's case was only recently
brought to the notice of physicians
and is attracting considerable atten.
ton among the medical fraternity.

Value of q Broouer.

Those who have never used
brooder cannot realize the great adj
vantage of this method over the old
way OF raising the chickens, with hens,
especially during the cold, windy days
of March and April. One hen and her
brood makes more steps and worry
than 100 chicks in a breeder, where
they are safe from cats, rats and
storms. Chicks can be fed balanced
rations in breeders, which are too ex-
pensive to feed hens, as they scratch
and trample the feed in the dirt, vast
ing the larger part of it. If one has a
large number of hens and does not
care to invest in an incubator, by all
means buy a brooder. BY setting 10
or II hens at one time and placing the
chicks in the brooder after they are
dry and strong, the hens may be given
more eggs, and can hatch out another
litter, or they may be broken up and
will soon be laying again.
A great deal more depends on the
cheap box affair will be dear at any
price, and the number or chicks lost in
one hatch through using it will more
than pay the price of a good one,
which will last sevral years if proper
ly taken care of. Buy outdoor brood
ers, which can be used indoors if oc-
casion requires, but an indoor brooder
cannot be used in the open air without
il is ma le watartight. Be sure and
have sun and feed room to the
5rooder, as the chicks must be kept up
the greater part of the time in early
matches, and select one that has the
openings for the chicks near the
ground.
Little chicks do not learn to run up
an incline readily, but viii huddle un-
der it and become chilled unless
watched to see that they return to the
hover. They should not be put out

A Maine Fox Farm.

| One of the most enterprising attempts
ever made by ingenious Yankee farm
ers was the establishment of farm
for raising foxes. This farm is located
in Maine, about 40 miles from Bangor,
and is owned by e. Norton. The tract
includes about 800 acres, a portion of
which is Enclosed by a wire fence 10
feet high, says the Massachusetts
Ploughman. II was found that the
foxes can climb to that height, so the
top of the fence was turned in so that
it projected inward about two feet,
and the plan proved an effective bar
rier. The foxes next tried to burrow
out, but Mr. Norton dug a trench and
filled it with stones, so that there is a
stone wall underneath the fence for its
entire length. The field is divided in.
to several small lots, with a well
built house or kennel in each lot The
foxes remain in burrows throughout
he summer, but at the first arrival of
3old weather, they take 10 the kennels. I
rhe fox farm has been in operation for
i've years, and is said to be profitable
The foxes are of the somewhat rare
and valuable blue variety from Alaska.
rhe six foxes of the original stock
cost over 800 delivered at the farm.
There are now more than so on the
arm. The fur from this variety of
OK is much more valuable than from
he common varieties. The care of
he fox presents no special difficulty.
They are fed about the same as dogs.
n regard to the condition and variety
II their diet. After remaining on the
arm for time, they become partly
anne, and are readily caught when
needed.

race. 1t remained for practical
scotch farmer TO vitalize the blood and
move it up and ON toward perfection.
Mr.. Weston has gone about the selac-
ton of the Berkshires that formed the
foundation of the Biltmore herd in the
same independent way Careful selec-
tons, Independent of breeding, have
produced at Biltmore-as it did for
Cruickskank-such a herd of Berk-
lshires, both imported and home-bred,
as cannot be found in any other one
herd either in this country or abroad
/ Chasing after phenomenal COWS, going
mad after fashionable bulls, has done
more to produce weaklings, weeds and
rubbish than any other one thing.
| It must not be inferred that the
Berkshires at Biltmore have inferior
breeding. That does not necessarily
result from selecting ON individual
merit; on the contrary, it brings out
the animals that are usually of the
highest breeding. They are able to
reproduce themselves because they
are not confined to a particular strain,
but are the survival of the fittest of
one family that are given chance to
vftalfze or strengthen their own blood
by coming in contact with other equal
~ good animals of different family
No breeding can be so safe or sure of
gooG results as where selections are
made on individual merit. When
that is the practice. the vitality part
will take care of itself. The man, on
the contrary, who puts his faith in
one family of cattle, sheep or swine,
and breeds, as so many do, to produce
high-class pedigree, rarely has any
fhiIrg in the end worth locking at or to
snow for all his trouble and pains but

A good remedy for frozen combs on
fowls is made of one part olive oil and
one part camphor. This should be
rubbed on the frozen comb once or
twice a day for four days, and then
lard should be used for a week.

A dairy should always be built on
