Profit In Guineas.

One branch of the poultry business has been
very much neglected, and that is guinea raising.
A flock of guineas are about the most profitable
that can be kept if they can have the range OF the
farm. The common guinea Is just as good as the
albino or white variety, but when cooked the flesh
is not so white. In the morning when let out of
the poultry house they often stop no longer than
to pick up a little of the grain given to the flock
before they wander to the fields in search of weed
seeds and bugs which they like better than any
thing that can be given them. They never be-
come tame like hens. They will lay in the nests
with the hens during the forepart of the season,
but when ready to sit they they will steal off and
hide their nests and hatch their eggs unless
watched. Do not let them hatch their own eggs,
as they are most careless mothers and a guinea
hen that will raise two chicks out of twenty
Matched will be doing pretty well. Hatch them
under hens and let the hens raise them. They
will develop a great affection for their foster
mother, refusing to be weaned during the whole
season and following her faithfully whenever she
is out of the poultry house. When first Matched
guineas are exceedingly wild and unless confined
will wander off and perish, leaving the nest very
frequently and within two or three hours after
Matching. Guinea eggs do not sell well on the,
market because of the small size, but for house
use they are as rood as any and are produced in
such abundance and at such little cost that any
one can afford to keep a flock for the eggs. Be
sides being a cheerful bird, they are as good as a
watch dog to tell when strangers are around.
They detect a stranger as soon as he comes near
and set up their shrill cries. They also serve to
brighten off hawks as they are sure to raise a
clamor if one comes in sight.-Mrs. Henry Kos
ter before Dubuque County (Iowa) Farmers
Institute.

The Cotswold Sheep.

Cotswold sheep have been bred pure for at
least three centuries. The Cotswold of to-day is
in many ways at variance with the old type and it
is seldom now that we see a flock of pure-bred
Cotswold that cannot lay claim to the ideal type
of a combined wool and mutton sheep. True,
they are as large a breed as we have, but did you
ever know of a market on which a prime Cotswold
lamb would not bring the top figure?
Some very careful experiments have been made
in recent years to test the different breeds for
profitable feeding. The Cotswold always is right
at the top. The now desirable export trade de-
mands the heavy weights that Cotswolds make
at two and three years. Cotswold rams have
been used by the largest sheep company in the
West chiefly for the last fifteen years. New stud
breeding-focks are being founded all over the
country to supply the demand for Cotswold rams
that is increasing with each succeeding year.
AS sheep of beauty and high character in their
whole general appearance, it can be said that no
other breed equals them, and for real sterling
qualities as a wool and mutton producer, they are
more than holding their own in this country

The Missouri Experiment Station has been
making some feeding tests of cottonseed meal
and linseed meal for dairy cows. In the report
of the tests in the annual report, the station
says a ton of cottonseed meal has So to So more
value than a half ton of linseed meal. They
say further: when cottonseed meal can be
bought, delivered to your railway %stationI at from
$18 to 500 per ton in car lots, as it usually can
in the fall, the dairymen of each community ought
to club together and buy at least a car to protect
themselves against a rise in the price of bran and
oats, which usually occurs about the middle of the
winter of each year. Cottonseed meal at this
price is far cheaper than bran at SIS per ton or
oats at Is cents per bushel."

hogs: Berkshire, Essex and POLAND China.
Which has the most good points, or in other
words, which is the best all-round> hog for the Or
binary farmers G. GOODWIN.
Starlight, N. G..
In reply to our correspondent, the writer feels
that no one has a right to make strong compari-
sons between leading breeds of farm animals.
There are ten thousand farmers who prefer the
Berkshire to any other breed of hogs lin like man
ner there is an equally large number who prefer
the Poland China to anv other breed of hogs.
These men are all honest and sincere in their
belief.
I may be permitted, however, to say the follow
ing as to leading characteristics of the three
breeds in question:
RELATIVE SIZE.
As now bred, the Berkshire is probably larger
than the Poland China, but this question is open
to doubt.
The Essex is a smaller breed and not to be
classed with Berkshire or Poland Chinas.
ADAPTABILITY.
For the Middle West and great corn-growing
sections, the Poland China is probably first; 9TH
erwise the Berkshire. The Essex is generally
liked by those who have small holdings and where
a small hog is desired. 1t is not so good as a
money-maker as either the Berkshire or the
Poland China.
MATURING QUALITIES.
Not much difference between the three breeds.
lie Poland China is somewhat inclined to fatten
rather early for best growth.
GRAZING AND FEEDING QUALITIES
Berkshires are probably the best on thin pas
lures. The Poland China needs good pastures
for best results. The Essex are very contented
in disposition and may be either grazed or soiled
with green food.
QUALITY OF MEAT.
The Essex has juicy, tender and well-favored
meat, especially adapted for family use or a Sc
lect trade,
The Berkshire produces excellent pork or ba-
con since the fat and lean are fairly well mixed.
In the Poland China the fat is too much in ex-
cess, still they kill we'll and the meat is fine in
grain and tender.
BREEDING QUALITIES.
At the best, we can only say that the breeds
here discussed are fair as a whole. Too much
attention has been given to- tvne and too little to
prolifcacy. Where brood sows are selected for
prolifcacy in either breed, as satisfactory results
have been obtained as with any breed.
The point of Importance in selecting any breed
is to suit your own taste. Get the breed you like
best and then stick to it. 1t is more important
to know that John Jones or Sam Smith breeds
the hogs than it is to know they are Berkshires or
Poland Chinas. The breed is simply a name. but
the man makes them meat factories and money
producers. @. W. BURKETT.

A NEW BOARD
PROPOSED IN low A
KNIVES DRAWN BY THE EDUCA-

Board of Control Will Succeed the

Center in the Lower House as the
Senate Is Already Considered Lost.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, March 24.-Legisla-
tive interest Is entirely centered upon the
new board Of control law which has been
drafted by a committee of senators and is
before the upper body of the legislature.
The representatives of the educational in
stitutions are flocking here to oppose the
abolition Of the old regent and trustee
system and the fight upon the bill Will be
the sharpest of the session. 1t looks as
tho the measure you'd have pretty clear
sailing in the upper body, and that the
fight will be centered in the lower house
The bill proposes a nonpartizan board
OF five member who are to have entire
charge Of the three state schools. The
chairman Is to receive a salary OF $4,000
and give his entire time to the work. The
other members are to receive per diem
for not to exceed ninety days in the year.
1t will require vote Of four members to
depose a president of any OF the schools.
All other questions before the board will
require only majority vote. The chair
man cannot be an alumnuS of any of the
schools, and no more than two Of the
other members may be selected from the
alumni Of any Of the institutions The
governor Is to appoint the board men,
bers for siX-year terms each.
One Of the most novel bills introduced
this session Is one to compel telegraph
companies to equip their offices with ap-
pliances whereby telephone connections
over the telegraph wire may be had with
any city with which persons wish to con-
verse.
The house late yesterday passed the bill
appropriating 100000 for the completion
of the Iowa hall of history Only sixteen
votes were cast against the bill and it
will pass the senate.
The house has killed the Christianson
bill to require railroads to report accidents
to the state bureau Of labor and passed
tha II fn,- tho o1yir Of
ter Of Iowa Civil war veterans.
The senate has enacted into law the
Brooks bill providing for careful exami-
nations of banks by local boards. The bill
required examinations at least twice a
year by local boards, Of which no one in
terested in the banking institution shall
be a member Reports are to be made to
the state auditor
