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 a very con-
siderable degree even the more south
erly limits of what we are pleased to
call the Northern States. We have
noticed this gradual movement in ILL
nois during the last ten years. AT
the present time traveller in South
ern Illinois is struck by the compara-
lively few cattle to be met with there,
yet he will also notice that the num-
Der is much larger than it was a 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 man of the neigh
borhood said: "Yes, Judge -- is
beginning TO get something from his
stock farm now, though for some
years he put two dollars into it for
every one he took out. But he 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 good thing, and, second,
that it 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.
The 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.
quentiy results in depreciating it,
though this is not absolutely neces-
sary. 1t is, however, the usual result
and is likely to be for some genera
tiOns to come.

The Incubator on the Farm.

nc InSuDdlOT OH ibC al iii'
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 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 business of poultry
raising, but they are also adapted in
lesser degree to the use of our farm
ers that keep flocks of 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
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 a size
and well grown. They will then bring
better price than otherwise, if 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
hatched is controllable 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 matches
prove disappointment he can con-
tinue to use his machine a 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 a 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 set 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 a
business almost Of itself. The incu-
bator also makes it possible to get
the birds out of the shell in time to
develop into winter layers before the
snow flies.

"The Mother of Measles"

The Democracy claims that the
tariff is the mother Of trusts. By the
same token the women are the moth
ers Of measles. The mothers of the
land have children and the children
have the measles. Kill all the indus

kill all the trusts. and abolish all the
mothers of the land and you will just

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 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 or

Ban on American Dentists.

The Supreme Court of Germany has
rendered an opinion that the title Of
doctor conferred by American dental
colleges is not to be recognized in
Germany, constituting a violation Of
the German law against unfair compe-
tition and is therefore prohibited to be
used. Three hundred end twenty den
lists in Germany, who heretofore held
the title Of doctor from American col.
lcges, are affected by this decision.

A Manipulated Test.

Reports from Vermont say that at
one of the creameries in that state
little unpleasantness has been occa-
stoned by the discovery that two of
the patrons had been working a
slight-of-hand trick on the cream
gatherer and had continually substi-
tuted test bottles filled with very
rich cream for the bottles containing
the samples of cream from the prod
uct 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 a trap for
these patrons. The two were caught
at the trick and means taken to Sc
cure repayment of the money thus
fradulently secured.

Pius in Prison.

In the older parts of the country
it has been the practice to keep the
pigs Shut up from birth to maturity.
a little pen in the barn was thought
to be sufficient and sometimes there
was even no yard for the pigs to ruin
out in. The said pen was sometimes
only six or eight feet square Here
the pigs were kept close prisoners.
No wonder that troubles like thumps
were common with pigs 50 treated.
TO some extent this practice still
remains. There is no question that
swine should be given room for exer-
else, even if no pecuniary advantage
can be figured from it. None OF our
farms are so small that there is not
an abundance Of room for the yard
that should be connected with every
pig pen. The larger the yard the
better, and if it is large enough to
be divided into sections in which
green stuff may be grown alternately,
it will be the more profitable.
