The Reindeer as a Farm Animal.
In all the northern part Of this con-
tinent the reindeer has become prac-
tically the only farm animal that, can
be successfully bred and used. Under
the auspices Of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture, they were
some years ago introduced into
Alaska, where they are now being
used both for food and for draft pur-
poses. There is just as great oppor-
tunity for improving the reindeer as
for improving our other farm animals.
In the regions where life is hard these
animals thrive. and fall u thrive In
regions where the OK and the horse
are at their best. The zone of use
fulness of the reindeer is north of that
in which the luxuriant agriculture is
possible. Its food is the lichen and
heritage native to the region where
the ground at some depth is eternally
frozen. 1t is fortunate, perhaps, that
the reindeer cannot live upon the
kind of forage we feed to cattle and
horses. In the far north where the
moss grows rapidly in the summer
and where it cover the Lodges even
to a great depth, these animals find
their natural pastures. 1t is the me-
dunn for Transforming this vast amount
of otherwise useless material into pal
atable meat and rich milk. The in
dustry of developing the reindeer is
in it's infancy. We may be certain
that this animal, adapted by thou
sands of generations Of habit to the
cold north, will yet become a domes'
tic animal OF great Importance.

Fatteninq Fowls.

Herewith we show the kind Of crate
in use in the Ontario station for the
fattening of fowls. The crate is easily
built and every farmer can construct
n or have it constructed at slight
cost. If the experiment stations find
it profitable to have such helps, sure.
ly the general farmer cannot afford not
to have one. In such a crate his birds
can be kept from moving around, and
that is the desirable thing to do when
fowls are being prepared for the mar
ket. The fatter the fowl the better
the price that a be realized for it.
Fat costs the farmer less than lean
meat and the more of it he puts on
his fowls the better. 1t is not a de.
ception of the public, for the public
understands the case and is willing

Have Proved Their Worth.

The campaign undertaken by inter-
ested publications to undermine the
faith Of the people in proprietary
medicines has drawn forth the follow
ing from a high medical authority:
ut must be forgotten that the
interest Of the manufacturer is to put
out a remedy which is not only meri-
torious but safe. With a small army
of enemies constantly on the alert,
ready to seize upon and magnify every
unfavorable circumstance, how few
are the cases of accident or injury
from the use of proprietary medicines!
Complaints in regard to the S of
such remedies are exceedingly rare
and utterly insignificant, in compari-
son with the amount sold and the mil
lions of people who avail themselves
Of these remedies"

Fall Care Of Poultry.

AT this time of year, when the nights
are much colder than the days, the
poultry will require a good deal more
attention than they required in the
summer when the weather was uni
form. Birds do not get cold if ex-
posed to the air, but if exposed to the
drafts, cold and warm currents of air
blowing on them alternately. If the
blast is continuously cold the feathers
OF the birds become compacted to pro-
tect the flesh Of the birds. But when
a warm current blows the feathers
open up and so do the pores Of the
skin. Then a sudden blast of cold air
strikes under the feathers and affects
the surface Of the body. Thence come
colds. and often the way is made clear
e,or an attack of roup.
Have the poultry house so arranged
that the air can come in only at a
single oriice if the ventilation is to
be in that way. A curtain of cotton
cloth over the oriice will stop the
currents Of air and it will pass through
slowly. The birds will not then be
affected. The writer visited the Maine
station a few months ago and found
that the poultry houses are arranged
so that the birds in the day time are
protected from the open air only by
such a curtain.
1t might be added, however, that
the sleeping places of the birds are on
the opposite side Of the house from the
large window and that there is an
other curtain, which is let down in
front of the roosts at night. and this
further protects the birds from pos
sible drafts. This place is called a
roosting closet, and is near the low
roof.
A little extra care now will prevent
the necessity for the doctoring Of poul-
try diseases later on. Also at this
time begin to feed either a daily ra-
ton of soft food or chopped fruit. Do
not let the fowls become constipated
by giving them a heavy grain ration
after they have been feeding very
largely on green stuff in the garden
and on worms and bugs. Now that
new corn is becoming plentiful the
temptation always exists to feed it
to excess. It is probable that new
corn is harder to digest than old core.

Best Grain for Show Birds.

We notice that some writer advises
the feeding Of wheat to birds in the
show room. He says that
wheat is the grain best adapt
ed to this purpose. Just why
he chooses wheat we do not under
ctand. We believe that oats and corn
constitute a far better food under such
circumstances. Wherever we go into
show rooms we notice that corn is
very largely used and not wheat.
Wheat is doubtless a very good food
for fowls; but we see no reason for
placing it first.

colds and innumerable flamelike tints
gave to the still forests an %indescrib-
able magniicence.
"And the leaves fell in a rain of col
or through the transparent air. In the
garden, one afternoon, I heard a gar
dener say to his little son:
"I wish you would rake up these
dead leaves in a pile

SUGAR as Feed.

In some parts of the United States,
and especially in some of the islands
nov belonging to the United States,
some forms of sugar and molasses can
be purchased at a very low rate. 1t
therefore becomes desirable, if pos
sible, to use some Of these as food for
farm animals. Even in the European
cities there n cheap grades of sugar
and molasses that can be advantage
ously fed. Some of the Partisan cab
companies have been experimenting
with the feeding of these foods as to
the time of digestion. When fed to
horses it vas found that sugar was
digested in from 81 to % hours, while
molasses was digested in about 16
hours. The molasses seemed to
hasten the digestive processes. 1t has
also been fed to race horses, and some
dairy COWS are now being tried. The
general cen of opinion among
the men that have tried this feeding
is that sugar and molasses are both
good elements of food.

to pay a fancy price for lean meat
that is in connection with fat; for it
is recognized that a lean bird is a
tough bird, if at all mature, and that
a fat bird is a tender bird. The pub
lie likes juicy, tender meat and is
willing to pay for fat to be thrown
away, if in that way the tender flesh
can be secured. The shorter the time
of fattening the tenderer is the flesh
of the bird, according to a popular
belief. The idea may be correct or
not, but the fact remains that the peo-
pie want fat birds, and that this is the
only kind Of a bird that the farmer
can sell with much profit to himself.
Between now and the New Year there
will be millions of chickens sold from
our farm and many Of them will be
sold off in a habitat condition. That
doesn't pay. Fatten the birds.

Perhaps it is not known
generally that before exhibit
ton fowls are thoroughly washed.
One exhibitor tells the writer that he
places his hens in a tub of water and
rubs soap into their feathers. He
works this soap and water into the
feathers until they are covered with
the lather. This not only takes away
the dirt, but effectually destroys all
the mites and lice. Some of these
show men go to the length of using
chamois skins on the birds. Every
scale on the legs is examined, and if
found to have dirt under them, the
soap suds is worked under the scales
and the dirt worked out by the use of
a small silver of wood. Cleanliness
counts for a great deal in the show
