Profitable Poultry.

Those who raise poultry for eggs
have probably selected the young stock
for winter laying, and they should be
located where they are getting all the
green food they need, yet not running
over too much area. After spending
all the summer on n range of con-
siderable size. 1t is good plan to
bring the pullets in nearer the house
and give them smaller range; room
enough to get plenty of exercise. but
not enough so that they will run off
the muscle and weight gained during
the summer. They must not go into
winter quarters fat. but they should he
plump and with enough vitality 10
stand the confinement. If any are all
ing. separate from the rest of the
flock. and IL they are not readily killed
by simple remedies. kill them and burn
the carcasses. bearing in mind that one
cannot afford to take an aillng bird into
winter quarters. Provide n place for
the surplus cockerels. so that they will
not trouble the pullets or hens. and as
soon as they can be nut in proper shape
sell them for what they will bring. Be
certain. however. the hest specimens
have been selected for keeping up the
strain. Use these selected cockerels
for mating with the older hens at
breeding season. and the pullets of last
spring mate to twoyear-old cock.

KINGS FINGER.
Found In Belgrade Palace Garden Tells
Story of Mutiation.

A grewsome discovery was made
the other day in the garden of the old
palace at Belgrade in digging up one
Of the flower beds. II was a ring set
with large diamond, and in that
ring were the decomposed remains of
finger. The ring was recognized at
once as having been always worn by
tire late King Alexander, and there is
no doubt that the finger was his, and
that II had either been cut off and con-
cealed in the garden until means had
been found later on to dispose of the
ring, or that when the remains of the
ill-fated monarch and his consort were
thrown from the window into the gar
den the finger, already nearly severed
by sword cuts, had become detached
from the hand and covered by earth
In any case. the finding of this ring
and the finger furnishes conclusive ev.
idence of the truth of the story so per.
sistently denied by the Servian officers
concerned in AleXander's and Draga IS
death, that the bodies were hacked To
pieces and frlghtfully mutilated by
the sabers Of the assassins after the
latter had emptied their revolvers
upon their royal victims. The ring
and the other belongings of King
Alexander have been placed at the dis.
posal of Queen Natalie, who intends to
devote all the money obtained there
from to the construction and endow-
ment of charitable institution in
memory Of her son at Belgrade. New

harness still ceems hard, apply another
coat of oil. When the oil has soaked

an occasional soaplng will keep the

broken places should be mended. Use

some places.--Indana Farmer.

Curious German Decree.

In Germany severe blow has just
been dealt to hynotists, magnetic heal
ers and other so-called occullsts. A
law has been passed prohibiting such
persons from holding public seances
and heavy fines are prescribed. The
reason why such measure has been
passed is curious. Seances given by
magnetic healers and others, says the
law, are likely TO arouse public prcju-
dices against the persons who are
used as mediums on such occasions,
and therefore it Is ordained that no
meeting Of this kind shall be held in
future. Moreover, the magistrates
throughout Germany have received
strict instructions to prosecute with
the utmost vigor any persons who pub
ucly practice hypnousm. magnetic
healing or any other Of the so-called
sccult arts.

Harness For the Hen.

When hen gets n notion into her di-
minutive BRAIN that 1t is her mission to
lead bunch of downy-covered chicks
over the garden 1t is very difficult
thing to convince her otherwise. There
may be many excellent reasons ad-
vanced by the farmer why IL is not de-
sired that she should take upon herself
this unselfish duty; but TO matter how
many or excellent are his reasons they
carry no weight with the hen. Being
chased from one nest, she will take
her place on another, and in the alb
sence of eggs she will set on anything
from load OF cobblestones to a water
melon. Fooled at one effort. she will
make another. and cling to the object
of her ambition with persistence
worthy Of greater cause. until the az
gravated farmer is almost ready to

Dairy Notes.

Ounces of feed do not bring pounds
of butter. Feed well If you would get
full milk pals.
Some men spend n great deal of time
and strength educating their cows,
when all the time 1t is the men them
selves who need educating the worst
way.
One of the surest ways in the world
to make butter smooth and greasy Is
to overhead the cream while rlpening it.
And that is the kind of butter that will
not keep very long.
No man ever learned how to scrlmp
COW and not have the COW catch him
at it. She may be fool, but she is
too smart for any man who thinks he
can cheat her that way.
The man who says dirt will strain
out does not know what he is talking
about. The strainer that will take
filth out of milk has never been in
vented. 1t can not be invented.
1t is the man who understands each
one of his cows that gets most out of
them. That calls for patient study,
not for n day. but for years. But it is
studying that pays in dairying, after
all.
We never had utter keep better than
when we used the good, old-fashioned
oak tub. Nothing better in the way of
package will ever be discovered,
either. than that same oid-fashioned
oak tub.
The hands must come into use all the
way in butter making, but they never
should come in direct contact with the
butter itself Take It out with ladle,
work it with ladle and put it into
the package with n ladle.
The cows bag is not made of India
rubber. Some of us act as If we
thought it was, and that the cow has
no feeling in it. But she has. She is
the most sensitive of creatures and
no doubt suffers much at the hands of
her mixers.
About the poorest way TO make the
butter come that know of is to pour
hot water into the cream or set the
churn by the stove for an hour or two.
Cream that has been properly ripened
will come all right without any such
doctoring, and doctored cream makes
poor butter every time.
The COW which is a famous milker
for one man may be nothing but an
old scrub for another. 1t depends on
the feed and treatment from start to
finish. OF course, the COW that is well
born will always show her bringing
up; but the man has more to do with
her success than most of us admit.
The COW is not like the threshing ma.
chine, which can take in bundles of
grain, mixed with weeds and thistles,
and turn out at the spout only the
clean wheat. She must make her milk
and butter from what she eats, and
only clean, sweet grasses and grains
will make pure butter that will "stand
up" always and everywhere.
Nobody ever has exactly figured out
just what is the pelation between get.
ting the COW all 'roiled up at milking
time and decided falling off in the
quality of her milk. but it is a fixed
fact that the man who allows his cows
to be excited and wrought up at that
time gets poorer butter by several
points than II he treated his cows
| kindly.
