WHEN THE HENS ARE SICK.
Simple Remedies When Applied at
the Right Time Usually Eff
feet Quick Cure.

II proper sanitary measures are
adopted, there are few illnesses in the
poultry yard that cannot be cured by
salt water and kerosene. To these
should be added an abundance of onions
for green food. For the Inflammation
OF the air passages commonly known
as roup, dip the birds head in warm
salt water or in water with a half-inch
of kerosene floating over the top
Kerosene can also be given internally
either in the drinking water or poured
over a feed of grain, and is one Of the
most valuable remedies we have, but
its use will faint the carcass of the
bird, and, if given to the entire flock
as a preventive of disease, the birds
destined for table or market in the next
three weeks should be removed
Cholera is one of the diseases we
hear of frequently as devastating "a
flock, but breeders say that the real
cholera is rarely seen, the disease COM
monty called cholera being only severe
indigestion. With cholera the fowl has
a sleepy appearance, is very thirsty,
has slow, stalking walk, sometimes
staggers and falls down from weak
ness. The comb and wattles turn pale
or dark. There is diarrhoea with
greenish discharges. afterwards turn
ing thin and frothy. The crop fills
with mucous and wind breathing be-
comes distressed, and the fowl dies.
The best cure is prevention by giving
tha fowls mora cpaca opd aIaap drp
quarters with pure water and food.
Disinfect the premises where disease
has made its appearance, and again
give the grain soaked in kerosene, not
as cure, but as preventive, to de-
stroy the poison taken into the system.
Canker is disease which may have
found foothold in the flock before its
presence is suspected This is found
about the corners of the mouth and in
the throat, sometimes accompanied
by running sores about the head with
a watery discharge of the eyes. We
have found birds so bad that they were
in the last gasp, and when treated
and the canker removed, would lie as
if dead, that recovered after swabbing
of tsle throat with kerosene and lard,
followed by the application of vaseline,
and would appear none the worse. Pow
dered borax is also good to use on the
spots after the removal of the ulcer

THE POISON IN SORGHUM.
1t Is Known as Hydrocyanic Acid and
Is One of the Deadliest Sub
stances Known.

We often hear of stock being poi-
soned by eating green sorghum plants.
especially the second growth. The
Journal of the Chemical Society OF
London, Eng, published an article
by j. c. Brunnish, which throws some
light upon the subject. Hydrocyanic
acid is one of the most deadly poisons
known and it has been found in small
quantities in sorghum and other
plants, gradually diminishing, as a
rule as the plants grow older. 1t is
said to be impossible to state Just
exactly when the plants become safe
Tor use, but as a rule it may be as.
sumed that sorghum is fit for fodder
as soon as the seeds are fully devel-
oped. Drying sorghum does not re-
move the hydrocyanic acid. The
amount of poison appears to be in
creased by the use of heavy nitro
genous fertilizers. A certain amount
of the poison was found in corn in
various stages until the formation Of
the cobs, but never in dangerous guam
titles. The author recommends that all
forage plants related to sorghum
should be used with discretion in the
green or dried state and should not be
fed in an immature stage or to ami
mails which have tasted for long
time

TELLING ACES OF CATTLE.
IT Can Be Done with Almost Absolute
Exactness by the Teeth Of Do
nestle Animals.

One Of the great sensations of this
years International was the turning
down of pen Of is head OF Aberdeen
Angus steers, two years old and under
three, by the official veterinarian. A
protest had been filed against this grand
lot Of cattle and was based upon the
allegation that they were over age. To
settle the matter the official veterinari-
an. acting for the exposition manage
ment, examined the mouths of seven
head Of the lot Of Is cattle, and made
his report TO the effect that two Of the
eight were over three years old. This
decision sustained the protest and
threw The pen Of cattle out of the com
petition. thus preventing them from
winning the grand championship of the

show, to which they would otherwise
have been entitled.

show, to which they would otherwise
have been entitled.
This is a most unfortunate occur
renee, but the veterinarian could pur-
sue no other course in the matter, as
he found two of the animals clearly
four years old Even where but
six broad permanent teeth are seen the
animal may be considered AZ months
old. if all the teeth are fully through and
in wear. "Six-tooth" cattle are, however
given the benefit of the doubt by veter.
inarians, as there is some evidence tc
show that forcing may induce slight pre-
eocity in the cutting Of teeth Great dis.
be caused by an manner of feed
ing or kind of environment so that a
full-mouthed steer cannot on any pre-
text be considered possibly within the
specified age limit allowed for show ami
mails in the class in question.
The illustrations accompanying this
statement are taken from Kuidekopers
age of Domestic Animals" and will
make the subject clear to stockmen.
The age given under each cut is an
average one, taking everything into
consideration, and every reader will find
them corroborated if he will go to the
trouble of examining the mouths of
cattle of which he knows the age per-
fectly
At last years show a similar pro-
test was filed against fine lot of cat
tie shown in class for steers two years
old and under three, but was not sus-
tanned, as no animal was found to show
more than six broad permanent incis-
ors
We trust that stockmen generally
and cattle exhibitors in particular will
study the accompanying illustrations
carefully and make their exhibits con-
form to them at future shows Action
to this effect may be taken by the man
agement showing dentition departures
from standard types will not be eligible
To exhibition. 1t would be well in the
premises for exhibitors to make them
selves familiar with the subject and see
to it that their animals intended for
showing have teeth corroborating state
ments made relative to dates OF birth.
Many desire TO have it believed that
forcing materially effects dentltion and
changes the normal appearance of the
mouth, indicating age. but it may be
regarded as certain that no full-mouthed
steer will be allowed TO compete in
classes for cattle three years old at flu
ture meetings of the International

POULTRY YARD POINTERS.

Select eggs from the best layers and
hardest hens for Matching.
In making up an egg ration, do not
forget liberal allowance of sunshine.
The hen cannot manufacture eggs
when she is feeding lice with her life
blood.
One of the great secrets of success
in the poultry business is in doing the
little things at just the time when they
need to be done.
II farmers would keep strict accounts
with their fowls they would be sur
prised at the profit derived in proper
ton to the capital invested.
In order to get strain or blood >es-
tablished, it is not only necessary to
breed in line. but to select and breed
the choicest standard birds each year.
Birds that have been fed heavily
during the early winter to get them
in show condition will probably not
be so quick to lay as those that have
been fed sparingly.
Soaking whole grain by pouring boil
ing water over 1t and allowing 1t to re-
main for "a hours, will cause it to
swell and prove an acceptable change
for the fewls.-Commercial Poultry.

IN THE HORSE STABLE.

you will not have to break it when
older
Use the currycomb. but use it merci-
fully; it's the dirt you are after, not

Variety of food is good for horses.
but variety of hours for feeding it is
very bad.
The good horse brings a good price,
and good care with intelligent instruc-
ton goes long way toward making
the good horse.
That stiff scrubbing brush the wife
uses in house cleaning is a good and
merciful horse cleaner But don't ap-
propriate hers.
So treat the horses that they will
be glad to see you come into their
stable, and not act as If they would
like to climb through the roof.
Signify to the horse in some other
way than by blow or oath what you
want it to do. The first way is brutal
and the other way is silly, If not sin

Odds and Ends of Time.

How few of us realize the importance
of making use of our odds and ends OF
time-the ten minutes, or half hours
that so many of us sweep out into the
waste of existence. Too many of us think
that when our days work is done, we are
entitled to rest; and this is in measure
true. But by making use of the little
broken fragments CT time, in a different
way from the ordinary routine, we are
getting rest, as well as gaining knowl-
edge. These leayings of days and rem
nants of time can be put to good and sys-
tematic use, and he who does this judici-
ously through life will have learned and
accomplished more than many of those
whose time is all their own.-Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

HOW TO TEST YOUR SEEDS.
Several Practical Methods by Which
It Can Be Done lat Little
OF No Expense.

1t Is important TO test the vitality of
seeds that you are in doubt about, ana
where the crop requires an even
stand and an exact amount lis planted,
as for instance corn. Here we plant q
few grains in each hill, and II the seed
should happen ID be poor, the crop
would be greatly lessened When one
knows about what per cent. OF the seed
will grow, he can obtain larger re-
turn for the seed. In some kinds of
plants there is great variation in the
vitality Of the seed, and this makes
testing very important There are sew
erai practical methods by which the
testing can be done easily, and With
little or no expense A very simple
method is to take an old box and fill
II with moist earth Ga cigar box might
do), and set il in warm room near
the window Then select a certain
amount OF seed, say 100, and plant
them liz the soil, being careful to know
Me exact number planted Keep the
Toll damp and in warm place, ana
within a few days they will come UP.
Then count all that grow, which is the
per cent of termination. Perhaps the
best and simplest plan Is to take two
plates, and place in one OF them n
folded cloth; wool or flannel Is prefer
able since it retains moisture for a
long time, but any cloth will do. The
cloth should be free from dyes that
will come out when soaked in water,
as the chemicals might be injurious to
the seed. Wet the cloth and press out
the surplus water, leaving it very
damp, but not soaked. Place the seeds
between the folds of the cloth, put in
a record marked with pencil on
piece OF paper, with the date and num-
Der OF seeds, and then place the sec
ond plate inverted, for cover. Sc
lecting the sample to be tested Is of
great importance. 1t must be a fair
sample, including both good and bad
appearing seeds. Ii the quantity is
considerable small amounts Should be
taken from different parts of the mass
These small samples thoroughly
mixed, form the larger sample from
which the proper number of seeds is
to be counted. In counting out the
seeds, fair number Of small and i'm
mature ones should be selected, as well
as the large and plump ones.-St. Louis
Republic.

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

Isolate the sick fowls.
Skim-milk is invaluable for chickens.
Castor oil is good for crop-bound
birds.
Doctor your birds at the first sign OF
droopiness.
Oats is excellent for both old and
young birds.
Hens will not lay when their combs
are frozen.
See that the early pullets are provided
with nests.
Wait until the poultry is dry and cool
before packing.
Soft-shelled eggs will be Matched IL the
hens are over-fat.
Chopped onions are said to act as a
good tonic TO chickens.
When a fowl snuffies or sneezes you
can be sure it is catching cold.
For large chicks oats are excellent Tor
the making of bone and muscle.
To stop feather-picking, feed raw meat
occasionally and cut green bone.
uarantine all newly bought birds
ore putting them with your stock,
Wateh out that the bands on the legs

HOW TO TRAIN THE COLTS
Gentle Touches Here and There and
Kind Words Always Bring Sat
isfactory Results.

Be firm, but gentle; have patience: a
colt cannot learn his A, 3, C's at one
time any more than the children can.
II Is by repetition that he learns and
acts well. Allow no teasing whatever
unless you want vicious animal. Keen
the animal always under control when
breaking, for BY breaking away he is
liable to become spoilt. It Is not on
account OF the strength Of the colt that
he gets away, but because he catches the
trainer napping-not watching his BUSH
ness-and takes advantage Of this to
gain his liberty. If one works with his
colt when he feeds, currying and rub
bling 1t often, 1t will not be any trouble
to catch, but the wild one needs to be
caught in the stocks. Curry and make
it gentle while in the stocks. Gently
slip on halter or stout bride with
long lead rope or rein. Pass this rein
under the jaw through both rings of the
bit. Take the colt out and lead it around
for few minutes; gently put on gears
and lead him around as before, and
when he has learned this well, hitch to a
post or light log. OF course, you must
be equal to the occasion and not let it
run away when it tries to. II large
enough, hitch to pillow or wagon beside
an old soldier. Repeat these lessons
often-rainy days are right for this
work If a large shed can be used

without aid, by passing the long rope

manner as to lead and at the same time

HOW Cider Is Clarified.

The use of gelatine for clarifying cider
is practised to some extent, as is.also the
use of blood, lime, plaster of paris, alum
and the whites of eggs. If gelatine is
used, itshould be in the form of isinglass
which should be dissolved in water OF
weak boiled vinegar, and added to the
cider, The alcohol or fannie acid in the
cider will coagulate some of the gelatine
and in falling it will bring down with II
the impurities in the form of sediment,
If cider has but small amount of spirit
or astringent in it, it may not coagulate
the gelatine sufficiently, but good or
binary cider would probably do so. Two
or three ounces of gelatine would be
enough for a barrel.-Farm and Fireside
