A USE FOR THE LEAVES.
They Should Be Raked UP and Used
in the Hen House to Keep
It Warm.

One of the best methods of making the
poultry-house warm in winter at a
small cost is to keep the floor well lit
tered. When the floor of a poultry
house Is covered to the depth of from
two to six inches with litter-such as
dirt, cut straw, refuse hay or leaves
there is not only a protection against
loss of heat and the prevention of cold
currents from below, but the drafts of
air which flow across the floor are pre-
vented The additional comfort OF the
poultry-house by the use OF such litter
will be appreciated by the hens. They
will be more active, and will also keep
busily employed In working in the litter.
Experienced poultrymen give more at
tention to keeping the floor of the poul-
try-house clean than they do to the
food, as no amount of food will enable
the hens to lay If they are not kept warm
and busy, while If warm they will some
times lay even II the food Is only of the
ordinary kind. Litter is cheap, and
there is no reason for neglecting its use.
A strawcutter should be kept. not only
to cut straw for litter, but also to cut
clover for the fowls. II the straw Is cut
In lengths Of about six inches ii is all
that is required, but leaves are superior
to any other material.-Farm and Fire

ABOUT slLAoE MILK.
Prejudice Against Product Of silage-
Fed Cows II Declared to Be
Unjustifable.

A writer in Health Culture disposes
Of the question of feeding dairy cows
as follows:
"She should be kept in very clean
stable and be we'll groomed; have
plenty of light, fresh air all the time,
exercise-at the risk of less produce
tion-pure water and pure food, free
from brewers waste, distillery refuse,
and alcoholic ensilage. These fer
mented foods permeate her flesh and
give an odor and taste to her prod
ucts, and the odors arising from these
foods poison the atmosphere she
breathes--in fact she is an inebriate,
and cannot produce normal milk on
such abnormal food. So important Is
this matter that the condensing fac
tories refuse to use milk from cows
fed upon these fermented foods, as 1t
will not keep when condensed and
canned. Such milk sours more quick
ly and is not fit for infants. indeed, it
makes them sick, and dairymen will
not feed their own children with IT.,
and will furnish milks for infants II
| requested"
1t Is true, says Prairie Farmer, that
some misguided officials OF certain
| milk condensing factories have OBJ
jected to receiving milk from cows fed
upon ensilage, but this prejudice has
been demonstrated to be entirely
without foundation. There are other
condensing factories that use ensil-
age-made milk right along and have
no trouble with 1t.
few years ago we ran across a
cheese factory in southern Wisconsin
that had refused TO receive milk dur
Ing the summer from given herd
because the cows had been fed ensll-
age the winter before. This simply
illustrates the ridiculous extremes to
which such things are often carried
The cheese factory had experienced
some difficulty in the manufacture OF
its cheese and, not being able to dis
cover the cause, had loaded the blame
on to the silage. although none had
been fed for weeks.
Such attempts as the above ON the
part of Ignorant persons. to dscredii
with consumers the milk made from
ensilage, is a great injustice to the
producer, as it tends to debar him
from the use of one of the best forms
OF feed for milk production. It has
been amply demonstrated that good
ensilage, properly fed imparts no in
furious effect to the milk Silage is
one OF the most healthful foods that
can be used during the winter, when
otherwise the COW would be ON dry
iced, and there is no question but that
the most healthy COW will give the
most healthful milk,

How to Get Rid Of stumps,

Introductory Note.
Following the brilliant, but corrupt, reign
of Jeroboam H., the history of Israel Is
one rapid and desperate plunge towards
final destruction at the hands Of Assyria.
In spite Of Gods warnings sent by His
prophets, the nation forsook not Its wicked
and licendious idolatry, and the judgments
and prophecies of God were finally ful-
filled. The time from the reign Of Jero-
boam H. and to-day's lesson was scarce
ly 40 years, and In that time six kings
ruled, four of whom we're usurpers, gain
Ing the throne by intrigue and murder. For
