Stock Juduinu at Ames.

The Iowa Agricultural College will
have another two weeks Judging
course this winter. 1t will begin on
January 2 and continue till January
IA. This course is intended for the
farmer and his son and all who are
interested in the breeding, feeding
and management of improved horses,
cattle, sheep and swine. Three days
will be devoted to each class of stock.
There will be two classes-one for be.
ginners, in which will be studied the
different market classes and grades.
and another for those who have at
tended a previous course, in which
will be taken up the characteristics
of the pure breeds of our domestic
animals. On Wednesday, January IL,
in connection with this work, there
will be block demonstration in
which beef animals of different types
will be Judged on foot, slaughtered,
and then cut up to show the different
market cuts and the value of the
same to the producer and the con.
sumer. The classes in this course
will alternate with those in corn and
grain Judging, so that all students
may take all the work in both
courses.

help the creanerxman.

The creameryman and the cheese
maker are bound up with the men
that furnish them with milk more
than is the ordinary manufacturer
with the man that provides him with
raw material. The patron should
feel it his duty to help the creamery
man in every way he can; for in so
doing he is helping himself. Let him
consider that the creameryman and
the cheesemaker would like to have a
greatly increased volume of milk. He
can afford to do some agitating in this
line for the greater the volume of
milk the less will be the cost of max.
ing butter and cheese from it. The
man that furnishes only cream should
take unusual care to see that the
cream is in perfect shape when it
goes in to the hand of the man that
Is to make it into butter.

Improving the Breeds.


The breeds that now exist must
be improved largely by the common
farmer if they are to be improved at
all. They are now out of the hands
of the fanciers and they can therefore
receive no more development from
them, except so far as the fanciers
can induce the general public to pur.
chase the high quality birds they are
producing for breeders. Every breed
was brought to its present perfection
by selection, and this process should
be kept up that the breeds may not
deteriorate, but may continue to i'm.
prove. There is room for improve
ment in every breed. If left to them
selves all breeds tend to deteriorate,
because inferior birds are being con.
stantly produced, and if used as
breeders they will help the work of
reversion. 1t must be remembered
that all that is good in the breeds is
artificial. 1t would take long time
for some of our breeds to go back to
the primeval form if they were left
alone and kept pure, but it would
take less time if they were allowed
to mingle freely with all other kinds
of poultry. In the barnyards of most
of our farmers there is little effort
made to keep the fowls from mixing.
The result is that from year to year
the standard becomes less reliable,
and the type more and more indistinct.
When farmer has pure bred birds
he should keep them pure and select
from them every year the birds that
are nearest the required type.

An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Nov. 14th.-(Spc-
cial. )-That sure care has been
discovered for those sciatic pains that
make so many lives miserable, is the
firm opinion Of Mr.. y. S. Colson, :,
well-known resident of this pace, and
he does not hesitate to say that
cure is Dodds Kidney Pills. The
reason Mr.. Col;on is SO firm in his
opinion is that he had those terrible
pains and is cured. Speaking OF the
matter he says:
II am only too happy to say Dold's
Kidney Pills have done me lots of
good. had awful pains in my hip

Too Many Starters.

A good starter is good thing, but
the ordinary farmer has too many
starters connected with his dairy en-.
terprise. There is certain practice
among our farmers that consists in
not thoroughly washing out the sep.
arator more than once a week. The
inevitable result must be that the va
rious parts of the machine contain
starters that are all ready to 60 to
work both in the cream and in the
skimmilk the moment they are sep
arated. There is such thing as haiv.
ing too many starters. Pastueriza.
ton would help such cream, but pas.
teurization is not at all common and
is not likely to be on the farm where
the bulk of the milk is not too great
to he handled by hand separator.

Realizing the Presence Of Dirt.


It is the experience of these fac
tory inspectors that where the owners
of factory are prosecuted for keep
ing an unclean establishment the men
that supply their milk quickly come
to the conclusion that it does not pay
to send milk to factory of that kind.
In many cases the defections have
been so numerous that the factory has
had to close and go out of business.
Farmers have listened to the cam:
paign of education long enough to be-
gin to realize that high prices for their
milk products cannot be obtained il
the medium through which they reach
the public is filthy one.
One would suppose that the farm.
ers who take their milk to factory
every day for six months would be
able to realize the presence of dirt in
the factory before a stranger came
along and pointed it out. 1t is a
queer thing this realization of dirt
II an Inspector had not begun lega
action against the factory the farm
ers would have been content to bring
their milk to the same dirty factory
year after year.
The men that could not realize the
dirt in the factory till it was pointed
out to them do not realize the untidy
conditions of their own farms. If higt
prices for cheese made in dirty fac
tory are not to be hoped for, neither
can we hope to get high prices fol
cheese and butter made out of mill
produced in dirty stable.

The Simple Dish That Keeps One Wig
orous and Well Fed.
When the doctor, takes his own med
icine and the grocer eats the food he
recommends, some confidence comes
to. ne observer.
AZ grocer of Ossian, Ind, had a
practical experience with food WORTH
any ones attention.
He says: "Six years ago l became
so weak from stomach and bowel
trouble that was finally compelled to
give up all work in my store. and
in fact all sorts of work, for about four
wears. The last year l was confined to
the bed nearly all of the time, and
much Of the time unable to retain
food of any sort on my stomach. My
bowels were badly constipated con
tinually. and lost in weight from
16A pounds down to- SO pounds.
t'When at the bottom OF the ladder
changed treatment entirely and
started in on Grape-Nuts and cream
for nourishment. used absolutely
nothing but this for about three
months. slowly improved until l
got out of bed and began to move
about.
II have been improving regularl,
and now in the past two years have
heek working about fifteen hours
day in the store and never felt better
in my life.
"During these two years I have
,evcr missed a breakfast of Grape
Nuts and cream. and often have It
two meals day, but>the entire break
fast is always made OF Grape-Nuts and
cream alone.
"since commencing the use OF
GrapeNuts I have never used any
thing to stimulate the action Of the
bowels. a thing had to do for years.

fine shape, and I am growing stronger
and heavier every day.

POULTRY
Portable Poultry Houses.

AC the Illinois State Fair there was
one exhibit that was very suggestive.
1t was of portable poultry house,
large enough to be used for camping
out in if its use for a poultry house
should be at any time discontinued.
Adjustable and portable poultry
houses have long been advertised by
English agricultural papers, and it
has been wonder why the industry
did not manifest itself on this side of
the water. Any man can make an
adjustable poultry house of his own.
1t is only necessary that each part be
complete by itself and that it be per-
eectly fitted to the adjoining parts.
The fault with some such construc-
tions is that they are rickety. This is
fault that can be easily cured. The
joints should be perfect and the parts
should overlap enough to prevent
drafts in winter time. We can con-
ccive of portable house being so
badly made that the poultry would be
exposed to drafts constantly through.
out the winter.
The advantages of portable poultry
houses are many, especially for ten
ants. There are many people that
wish to keep poultry, but they do not
care to construct poultry house to
be eft on the place when they move.
The portable poultry house can be
quickly taken to pieces and it makes
the least possible bulk when placed on
wagon, Whoever builds such a
house should make himself patterns
beforehand that he may avoid mis-.
takes in the construction.

Cured a Leper.

For for the first time in history, it is said,
leper will be ordered from lazaretto completely
cured This week the Louisiana lepers home at
Indian Camp. which is i'll charge of Sisters of
Charity will discharge one of its patients, Gre
ole boy native of New Orleans aged Is, who has
beeen afflicted with leprosy for four years and who
has been under treatment at Indian Camp for
nearly two years
When he went to the asylum his body the
color of coffee and was covered with leprous ul
GERS; his face was blotched puckered up with open
sores; he had no eyebrows eye lashes. Now he
is clean to look at his face is clear, with slight
touch of color; his eyebrows and eye lashes have
grown, his eye is clear instead of CLASSY and ne
has regained control of his facial muscles
Five more patients are on the road to recov-
cry and will be discharged within year.
1t is said that the treatment which has caused
such results is nothing new, but simply the per-
sistent application of the treatment used for lep
rosy since the world began. The only difference is
that in the Louisiana home the disease has been
treated steadily Systematically and constantly.

There certain novels, such as Thackeray 5
Henry Esmond," and certain other books like
Matthew Arnold's Culture and Anarchy which
are termed 'touchstones of culture" This means
that to appreciate and enjoy such books, denotes
culture in the reader.
Is there a touchstonc of Catholicity! Undoubt-
edy there is. To take an interest i'll the topics dis
cussed in the Catholic papers is the best recogniz
able touchstone of Catholicty. 1t is probably bet
ter than prayers alms-giving as test of intel
ligent religion. 1t is better than pew-holdng or

olic societies-good as all these things are in
themselves.
The Catholic family which prefers the flash
story papers; the adult man who finds everything
insipid except the politics, the criminal column or
the sporting news of the daily; the more pre-
tentious Catholic homes, in which the decatey
prepared wordliness of Life and Vogue finds favor
with the young people, and with whom the Catholic
paper and its topics dull and tame-all these
do not stand the test of Catholicity.
