Care in DRESSING Animals.

In the dressing OF any animal it is
always well to consider that possibly
it may be affected with tuberculosis
or some other contagious disease.
There is little danger of infection il
there is no wound on the hands that
can come into contact with the meat.
A good many cases are on record
where men have lost their lives by
carelessness in this regard. Butchers
are perhaps oftener the subject of
such accidents than any others; and
the amateur butcher is as certainly
in danger as the professional. A Chi
cago man reports as follows to the
United States Bureau of Animal In
dustry: ~
G.. f. W., Pole; age, a. weight, 10
pounds; healthy looking man; butcher
by occupation. Family history mega
tive. Father of three healthy chill
dren. Has no recollection of having
been previously sick. On May 3, 1899.
while cleaning cattle viscera, he fell
and stationary meat hook upon
which the hearts and lungs are hung
penetrated through the right hand be-
tween the second and third metacarpal
bones. A tendo vaginitis resulted,
with some lymphangitis of the arm.
He received the usual treatment for
an infected wound and apparently
made a good recovery, with, however,
some limited motion of the fingers
and sensitive scar at the site of
puncture. Four months afterwards an
abscess formed in the axiIla, which
was cleaned out and tubercle bacilli
were demonstrated in the broken
down gland tissue. At this time
there was no soreness in tie arm
lymphatics or elbow gland, Hut he
complained that there had been. In
three months afterwards. or seven
months from the original accident, he
died from pulmonary tuberculosis.

System in Feeding.

Animals cannot get the best results
from their feed unless it is given
them regularly and in quite uniform
portions. Every farmer should have
n regular system for the feeding OF
his farm animals, whether the ami
mails be the ones used for the produc-
ton Of meat and milk or for the pro-
duction of force to be expended in
labor. Irregular meals are as bad for
animals as for human beings. The d.
Sestive systems adapt themselves to
certain habits and seem to be as
much opposed to irregularity as II
they were sentient beings. On many
farms there is no system of feeding
and the results obtained are poor.
One man Will work his horses for
hours beyond their regular meal
times. During the last hour or so tho
animal is losing vigor rapidly. He is
given food when his strength is partly
exhausted. The stomach had not the
vlgor of digestion that it had at the
regular eating time, and the result is
more or less disarrangement. some
times resulting in the imperfect diges.
ton of the food taken. This is a mat
ter that every human being has en-
perienced himself. The results arc
far more disastrous than we have
been led to suppose. The fact Is cas-
Ter to establish than the reason for IL.
The COW, the pig, and the sheep, when
depending on man to do the feeding
fare best and thrive best when their
food comes in accordance with reg
ular system. II Is not so much
question OF how many meals an ami
NAL has day as of their regularity.

CHAPTER xxI-continued.


General Garden applauded vigor-
.Dusly and demanded an encore. The
trio sang several songs, and the old
soldier lay back in his armchair and
let his mind drift back to the hours
when the one of whom Jessie was the
image lifted her sweet voice in the
ballads he loved to hear. AT his re-
quest they sang douglas. Tender and
True" robin Adair," "The Blue
Bells of Scotland" "Annie Laurie, "
and several old war songs.
Then Jessie proposed rubber of
whist. and in the cut she became the
partner of James Blake. Jessie
played well and they defeated the
general and Edith.
You don't know what a victory we
have wont" declared Jessie, her eyes
sparkling with pleasure. Papa and
Edith think themselves invincible,
and this is their first defeat. Let's
go to the conservatory. l want to
show Mr.. Blake those lovely bulbs l
sent you from Holland" and leaving
Edith and the general to follow, she
escorted Blake to the great glass
house, with its arched roof and wilder
ness of palms, ferns and flowers.
Il know this is not much of a treat
to YOU" ventured Jessie. 81 had for
gotten that you have spent all of your
life in California"
But 1 have not spent all of my
life IN California" Blake said. Il
lived in California only seven or eight
years and had little chance to study
flowers. What little knowledge have
of flowers dates back to my boyhood
days in New England"
New England? What part of New
England, Mr.. Blake?"
Massachusetts" he answered
proudly. 81 was born in Boston, less
than half a mile from where the tea
was thrown overheard. My mothers
name was Smith, so I'm a Yankee all
over"

Live Stock Industry Working South,

Live Stock Industry Working South.
Gradually our live stock interests
are working southwark though they
have not as yet reached in very con-
siderable degree even the more 1buth-
erly limits of what we are pleased to
call the Northern States. We have
noticed this gradual movement in Hi
nois during the last ten years. AT
the present time a traveller in South
ern Illinois is struck by the compare
lively few cattle to be met with there,
yet he will also notice that the num-
Der is much larger than it was few
years ago. Here and there stock
farms have been established that are
being looked up to By the farmers OF
the vicinity, most of whom have no
stock to speak of. In the very south
ern part of the state the writer passed
one farm on which was a fine herd
of Herefords. A pan of the neigh
borhood said: Yves, Judge - is
beginning to get something from his
stock farm now, though for some
years he put two dollars intdtit for
every one he took out. But The was
all the time bringing up his land. Now
it is in fine condition. But then he
was a judge and his salary helped run
the farm"
This points a double lesson. First.
that the belief must be inculcated into
the farmers of those sections that live
stock is a good thing, and. second.
that 1t takes capital to tide over the
time when the live stock farm is be-
ing established, if all things are to
be done at once and on a large scale.
The southern parts of Illinois and In
diana have a climate and soil well
adapted to the growing of live stock.
che location Is not far enough south
TO endanger the animals from Texas
fever and is not so far north that
beef cattle need much protection in
winter The growing or not growing
of live stock is the difference between
constructive and destructive farming.
The presence of live stock helps to
build up the land. It's absence fire.
quently results in deprecie4ng it,
though this is not absolutely neces-
sary. 1t is, however, the usual result
and is likely to be for some genera
tons to come

a MANIPULATED lest.

Reports from Vermont say that at
one of the creameries in that state
a little unpleasantness has been occa-
stoned by the discovery that two of
the patrons had been working q
slight-of-hand trick on the cream
gatherer and had continually substi-
tuted test bottles filled with very
rich cream for the bottles containing
tile samples of cream from the prod
Rt of the patrons in question. One
man had thus secured from the
creamery payments in excess of a
thousand dollars not belonging to him.
At last the creamery officials began
to suspect that something of the kind
was being done and laid n trap for
these patrons. The two were caught
at the trick and means taken to Sc
cure repayment of the money thus
fradulently secured.

NEVER SEE HEARsE AT NIGHT
New York Undertaken Explains Why
They Are Not Sent Out,

inep are MOT Sent Out.
Nobody gives us fellows credit for
having a large bump of sensitiveness, -
said a west side undertaken, but the
fact is, we go to a good deal of trou-
bic to safeguard the feelings of the
general public. For one thing, we try
never to keep our hcarses in the street
after dark.
OF course, in the case of afternoon
funerals and long distances we can
not avoid getting home late, but, even
so. we make it point to get under
cover as soon as possible after night
fall. And we do that absolutely out
of consideration for the public. By
nine people out of ten the sight of a
hearsc on the street at night is taken
as a sure sign of impending death and
disaster.
Even in the daytime a hearse is a
gloomy affair, but to run up against
one at night is pretty sure to give the
most jovial fellow alive a depressing
turn. ] know how it is myself. Ac-
customed as | am to handling hearses,
| don't like to bump into one unex-
pectedly at a dark corner.
Most men in the business feel the
same way, therefore we strive to be
considerable. That we succeed re-
markedly well is apparent to anybody
who will take the trouble to- count
the hearses he has seen out at night
These are so few that I'll wager the
most confirmed gadabout cannot re-
call more than three or four of them"

drowned in the louder din of his pas
sion. He had not yet reached a point
where, with calm selfishness he could
voice the brutal aphorism of moral
and physical desperadoes: "All is
fair in love and war" He was eager
to clear himself of self-accused dis
loyalty 20 John Burt, and he clutched
at any defense which would serve as
possible justification or extenuation.
John Burt was his friend, the found
er of his fortunes; the loyal, trustful
comrade to whom he owed all he was
or could hope TO be. Blake knew this.
and yet, with the truth confronting
him and pleading for justice, the So
phistic arguments and evasions OF a
vaulting passion came readily to his
lips.
How do / know John loves ber?"
he pleaded. He has not told me so.
He has sent her no word. He could
have done so easy enough. She does
not know if he be dead or alive. Is
that the way for a lover to act? If
John has lost her it is his own fault
Perhaps he gave her up long ago.
Honestly, believe his hate for Nor
ris is more to him than his affection
for Jessie Garden"
Thus quibbled James Blake. Awak-
ered love loosens a million eloquent
tongues to plead for self, and palsies
the voice which should speak for oth.
ers. The love Of man for woman
is the subhmation of his egoism; his
unconscious exaltation of desire.

OF collecting the eggs from the farm
ers and bringing them to the circle
centers is borne by the circles them
selves. This work is done by a col
lector selected by the circle board.
The collector is usually paid so much
per pound of eggs collected. The ex-
pense of this collection is very low,
perhaps on an average not more than
one-half cent per dozen. The total
cost to the farmer from the time the
eggs leave the nests until they are on
board steamer is therefore one and
one-half cent per dozen.-United
States Consular Report.

POULTR
The Incubator on the Farm.

The incubator and brooder are the
modern allies of the poultry raiser.
Originally the fowl laid but few more
eggs than she could hatch. 1t Is diff
ferent now. We have developed our
hen to lay $50 eggs a year, and she
can at most hatch not more than
thirty OF them. To keep the Matching
ability up to the laying ability we
have had to invent the incubator and
brooder. These machines are espe-
cially adapted to the use of people
that are making a business of poultry
raising, but they are also adapted in
lesser degree to the use of our farm
ers that keep fiocks of a hundred or
more fowls. On some OF our large
farms from 200 to 500 fowls are raised
annually. Yet in a good many in
stances the only means of Matching is
from hens. The operation drags along
through the summer, with the result
that in the fall the farmer has a good
many kinds and sizes of fowls for
sale. some Of them marketable and
some not. On farm such as we have
mentioned it will certainly pay TO buy
and use an incubator and brooder or
brooders.
In the first place there is uniformity
in the flock, both as to age and size.
The birds can be raised by the hun
dreds in March and April, at which
time eggs are readily obtainable, and
when fall comes the birds that are to
be disposed OF will be all of size
and we'll grown. They will then bring
better price than otherwise, il the
seller knows his business. This will
be true whether the birds are sent TO
some commission house or are dis.
posed of TO the private trade.
Another advantage in using an in
cubator is the increased certainty of
having chicks at ALL There are some
years. as all of our poultry raisers
know, when the hens show little in.
clination to be broody and more than
once the poultry raiser has found him
self at the beginning OF summer with
only half the number of chicks he ex-
pected to have. The number to be
Matched is comfortable by the ma
chimes, but not otherwise. A man can
start the machines in February or
March and hatch till he has secured
the number he wants for raising.
Then he can stop. If the first patches
prove disappointment he can con.
tinue to use his machine q little long
er. Not so the hen. She will often
disappoint one and then make no sec.
ond attempt to make good her prom
ises to bring forth brood.
Then, too, the brooder removes the
necessity Of making. nests for the sit
ting hens. This is large task where
hundreds of birds are to be raised.
Frequently the nests Of the sitters in
terfere with the placing of nests for
laying purposes. The care OF the hens
is certainly as great as is the care of
the incubator, and after one becomes
expert with the incubator the care
is less. The care of an incubator
lessons in proportion as we get ac-
quainted with it, which can scarcely
be said of the hen. We have referred
only to the use of the incubator in the
spring, as the fall use relates to the
production of broilers, which is
business almost of itself The incu.
bator also makes 1t possible to get
the birds out of the shell in time to
develop into winter layers before the
snow flies.
