Importance OF Cleanliness.

Cleanliness during the summer sea
son is of the upmost Importance The
little details in maintaining proper SAN
itary conditions in yards, houses, feed
and water utensils are so important
that it would seem almost needless to
keep everlastingly preaching from the
same old text, yet it is so utterly dis
regarded by so many that a paper fails
in its duty If it does not keep ham
mering away on the old subject. Lice
killers and disinfectants are SO cheap
and so reliable that there seems little
need of any poultry raiser not using
them. The success Of the poultry bust
ness comes from watching the little
details, and cleanliness is easily main
tanned by doing a little each day. A
little effort at the right time will save
the necessity of a hard days work

ing that there were apartments to rent.
The janitor was evidently absent from
his post of duty, as there was no

Disheartened, the seeker for q home
was about to turn away when the door
was opened from the inside and a
bright faced boy Of about seven years
was disclosed. He looked wonderingly
at the visitor, who asked:
'What kind of an apartment is there

A look of mingled disgust and scorn
slowly overspread the youngsters face.
He surveyed the questioner from head

If you walk backward, the errand

To prevent cramp wear an eelskin

To cure warts rub a black snail over

impaled on rose thorn.
The first person to enter your house
on New Years day will, if he be light

haired, good luck.
To test your sweethearts humor
make him stir the fire. If he stirs ii

If he makes it smoke and fade he is

POULTRY POSSIBILITIES.

In the past the central idea in con-
nectiOn with the keeping of poultry
as q special business has been to Sc
cure as many winter high priced eggs
as possible To make success of this
phase of the business much expense
and labor were involved special &C
commodations and special food and
care. Before the advent of cold stor-
age the winter egg was high priced,
while the spring and summer egg was
very low priced. This has all now
been changed and there is much profit
in keeping fowls for their spring and
summer eggs, even If they do not lay
an egg during the winter season. This
is an important thing, for at small
expense one can now start liz the busi-
ness and make money from his flock
at that time Of the year when the
weather is warm, the range good,
green food abundant and but little
work involved in the care of the flock.
1t is hardly likely that future prices
for March, April and May eggs viii
again go below IA or 10 cents to the
producer, and 1t thus goes without say
ing that the production Of eggs dur
ing this period of the year at these
figures is very inviting proposition.

how all parts are put together. 1t will
be seen that one end of the box which
has the cleats on is sawed off, leaving
the other cIeated end for the bottom.
The points in this coop which | wish
to call especial attention to are: Have
the boards forming the floor run toward
the front, instead of crosswise, as it
makes it easier to clean; see that the
floor is well nailed to cleats, so boards
will not warp, and saw end Of box off
with q slope of six inches to the foot
and cover with shingles. Boards will
turn water for awhile, but shingles
will last long enough to pay we'll for
using them.

front. A frame is made out of inch
square strips to fit the front Of coop
and covered with screen cloth except an

A PROFITABLE HERD.


The SpyingdaIe herd of Holstein cat
tie in Bradford county, Pa, is a prac-
tical working herd, says one of the
owners, G. NJ. Lyon. in American Agri-
culturist The calves when few
hours old are taken from their dams
and fed whole milk for two or three
weeks. The whole milk is gradually
changed to sweet skim milk. When
skim milk is scarce, cruel is made
Of oilmeal, wheat middlings and corn
meal. The calves learn to eat mixed
hay, corn silage, wheat bran and whole
oats when four to six weeks old It
is always desirable to keep the dairy
calf growing and in good, thrifty con-
dition, but not fat.
The calves, yearlings and cows are
fed balanced ration. For roughage,
corn silage and mixed hay are fed in
winter and pasture and soiling crops
in summer The grain ration consists
Of wheat bran, gluten feed and oilmeal,
fed twice each day when stabbed. The
quantity depends on the animal, but
the mature cows, when in full flow, re-
ceive from eight to ten pounds grain
mixture per day The heifers freshen
when about two years old and general
~ produce forty pounds of milk per
day, testing 3.5 to AZ per cent fat.
We keep Holsteins because they are
profitable. The sales of milk and cream
from our herd in 1903 averaged little
over 500 per head. The cost of keep
averaged $40 per COW. The cash earn
ings Of such COW for eight years
would be $500 from milk and cream
and to this amount must be added the
value of her eight calves. If the calves
were sold at only $25 apiece, and that
would be small price for calves from
such cows, they would add $500 to her
earnings, swelling the total to $1,000.
If her cost Of keep averaged $40 a
year the total for eight years would be
$500. This leaves $3.50 for the net earn
afford to pay for such COW? Had she
been purchased for $500 before drop
ping her first calf she would in the
eight years repay her purchase money
and leave $3.50 profit to her owner At
5000 she would leave him $3.50. Where
did we get such cows? Well, we raised
them. Believing that the sire is half
the herd, we purchased our first regis
tered Holstein bull in 1895 and saved
our best heifer calves. This bull was
followed by others Of note. BY the
use Of such bulls and raising only the
heifer calves from the best cows the
production of an ordinary herd can be
doubled in few years. At the same
time the net profits can be more than
doubled.

the small slide is taken out to allow
chicks to run out or in, and on fine days
both Stats are lifted to allow the moth

Items In Ginseng Growing.

was wholly destroyed and another par
TALLY destroyed by the severe cold.
Artificial shade was not used. Very
successful results have been obtained
by planting among evergreens and al
so in walnut groves. Seed produced
during the summer of 1902 was sold
at an average net price of sc cents per
100 seeds. It is estimated that the
value of the seed obtained from one
seventh of an acre of ginseng was 81
500. Some seed heads of fVe-year-old
plants produced from 100 to 166 seeds.
The dried roots sold for $500 per

Many New York plum and cherry

In this way. Last season several
growers made thorough tests of arse

gratifying on both plums and cherries.
1T was used at about two pounds in
fifty gallons of water or bordeaux mix

ssBetween Wornsley's and st. Helens,
in Cornwall, is an underground canal
connecting the lower levels of the coal
mines at Wormsley's with the surface
station at st. Helen's which saves a
great deal of money for the mine
owners in handling the coal, which is
simply loaded on the barges in the
mines and transported by the canal
under the mountains to the harbor at
st. Helen's. When the canal was de-
vised, however, how to provide for
locomotion for these barges was prob
lem.
MULES couldn't be used, and there
We're circumstances which made steam
impossible, but an inventive genius
finally solved the riddle by suggesting
that cross pieces of timber be placed
along the roof of the canal, which was
very low, and men could lie on their
backs on top of the loaded barges and
kick the vessel along. After the barge
was once started this was found to be
feasible
The men could easily keep the load
in motion by the means suggested, and
it has ever since been in use. There
is no question about the low grade of

who follow it are constantly kicking

CHEAPER FUEL.

A process which provides for the In
lection of blast of hot air during the
coking process makes possible the cox
ing of low grades of soft coal which
have heretofore been considered worth
less for this purpose. Such coke can
be produced at one-half the cost Of
hard coal and is an equally clean and
heat producing fuel ton for ton. This
discovery means much for the west,
where it is soft coal, with its dirt and
smoke, or hard coal at $11 per ton.
The first plant for the manufacture of
this coke is being built at Des Moines,

DOG DAYS.

There is a popular fallacy which as
sumes that the so called dog days form
a period when dogs are more liable to
go mad than at any other season of the
year, and so they are ordered muzzled
just when they need the most breath
Ing room. We have noted during a
period Of many years that more dogs
are affected by hydrophobia during the
winter than in the hot weather and
that any special restrictions placed on
them during the heated term are not
justified by the facts.
