Moultinq.

Moulting is a natural process that
mas for its object the furnishing of
the owl with a winter dress compact
enough to protect her from the cold.
Some might ask why moulting is nee
-essary at all. It is because the Crea.
tor has prepared the fowl a suit of
clothes that endures for a year. I'm
der ordinary conditions, this suit is
at its best when it is new. The barDs
OF the feathers lie SO close together
that they form an air-tight compart.
ment under the feathers. l have been
in a poultry house on a day in winter
when the temperature was 20 degrees
below zero. Every hen seemed to be
puffed up, greatly enlarged in size.
This was produced by the feathers
being pushed away from the body n
holding under them a layer of air.
The feathers touched so firmly that
there was no communication between
the air inside and the air outside.
This was a provision of nature for
keeping the fowls warm. The feath.
ers are made up of minute spaces.
each n filled with air, and therefore
a n~on-conductor of heat. The quill #.
self is hollow and the air space in it
prevents the passage of heat. When
these feathers are new, therefore. they
are the warmest possible protection
of the fowl. But when summer comes
the conditions differ. The fowl needs
the air from outside, and the feather
become thin, like a garment that i,
well worn. Nature might have pro
vided for these feathers to renew
themselves, but nature found it easje,
to grow new feathers for the new win.
ter coat, and this is just what occurs.
At moulting time the fowl needs to
be fed with food that is rich in all
the elements required for growth. The
production of it's winter suitfs quite a
tax on the fowl, and usually there is
no production of eggs in the moulting
season.

Detecting Formaldehyde in Milk.

When men began to use preserya-
tives in milk, they used various sui.
stances that could be easily detected
by the chemists. Repressiye laws.
however, made it difficult to use
some of these personalities, and the
manufacturers Of p~reservatives set
their chemists at work to find some
substance that could not be detected
by other chemists. They hit upon
formalin, or formaldehyde, the latter
being a combination of formalin and
water. For a long time the chemists
were unable to detect this in the milk
as no means was known of showing
the formalin. But by a large number
of experiments things were at last
discovered that would show the pres
ence Of formalin. The French have
just hit upon a new way of detecting
it at once and without any question.
They first add acetic or Tactic acid to
the milk, and this precipitates the
casein. This leaves a liquid that may
be filtered. To this fltrate is added
a few crystals of amidol. The water
of the liquid then becomes a 1owery
green. The test is SO accurate that if
there is present in the milk only one
part of formaldehyde to half a mil
lion parts Of milk, the test will
show it.

Mass, recently, IT was in and out Of

II was badly run down from over
work. One day noises began in my head
and almost made me crazy. My head
felt as if a tight band had been put
around it, and the pressure and the
sounds made me SO uneasy that I often
had to walk the floor all night.
My stomach was i'll bad shape, and
had s%lnothering sensations. At such
times my body seemed bloodless, my
hands were like chalk and my face
turned yellow. The doctor said l had
dyspepsia in the worst form. Then my

FRUITFUL FURNACES
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES
PRECIOUS STONES.
Scientists Have Succeeded In Pluck
ing Real Diamonds and Rubies from
the Crucible of the Furnace.

Recent advices from France state
that Prof. Moissan, the eminent sci
enlist and inventor, has actually sue
ceeded in making genuine diamonds
and rubies. He employs for this pur-
pose the electric furnace, which has
been SO improved that a degree of
heat can be produced, approaching the
extreme temperatures, which were I'M
doubtedly a factor in the formation OF
minerals and gems in the interior of
the earth.
The rubies obtained are OF large
size, weighing 10 or Is carats, and in
quality and color equal and even sur
pass those found in the earth. The
natural forces attending the formation
of diamonds seem to~have been more
complicated, and so far the diamonds
resulting from the efforts of the sci
entists have been very small, but still
they are positively identified as the
carbon crystalline diamond. They
are remarkably clear and bright, and
On a small scale as fine specimens. as

The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with a whole series of

Cure to STAY Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Sept. 18th Especially
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County is
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight
months and when she was able to sit
up she was all drawn up on n side
and could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney pills cured her. Speak
ing of her cure, Mrs. Hart says:
Eyes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after I was in bed for eight months
and l know the cure was complete for
that was three years ago and l have
not been down since. In four weeks
from the time l started taking them
I was able to make my garden. No
body can know how thankful l am to
be cured or how much l feel l owe 70
Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths
of the suffering the human family is
heir to will disappear.

a good plan to follow, but requires
a good deal Of capital on the part of
the company putting it into operation,
as they must pay for all goods some
weeks before it is possible to get cash
for them. Some such plan would be
far better than having a great lot of
bookkeeping to do, with monthly re-
ports to make. Cash transactions are
easy to handle and time is saved, as
well as postage in rendering accounts.

the cure will exist only so long as

Apple Pomage as silaae.

When apples are abundant there are
always a great many that are small
n are used for cider. In small CROP
years the amount of apples disable for
CIDER is very small, owing to the fact
mat there are few apples on the
tree, and these apples develop into a
salable fruit. But when the big fruit
years come, the trees are loaded with
apples, with the natural result that
many of these are small, too small to
be merchantable except in the form of
CIDER or cider vinegar. In these full
crop years a great deal of cider is
made, and consequently a great deal
OF apple pomace accumulates. In
many cases this pomace is thrown out
into the streams, or is fed to cattle al
ready well-fed on the pasture. We have
seen it thrown into the barnyards in
cakes, the COWS eating what they
could of the top, and trampling the
rest under foot. Apple pomace has
been found useful for silage. 1t makes
1rst-class silage and keeps well from
year to year. This is of interest to-
those farmers living near cider mills
where they can obtain pomace at lit
tie cost. Cows fed On this silage are
said to hold up their milk as we'll as
those that are fed IN corn silage. The
milk does not seem to be in any way
injured by the flavor of the pomace.
but when it is fed it is well to begin

as any change of food if very abrupt
seems to influence the milk for a
time. The usual practice in feeding
it is to give about fifteen pounds a
day to each COW.

Stocking Up with Fowls.

There are two times of year when
we naturally increase our stock of
fowls. One is the spring, the other
is the fall. If we want to stock up

generally do so in the spring, unless
We are using an incubator. When we
v to depend on the hen for the
~1ncubating process, it is more neces-
sary to do this in the spring, because
the hen is not inclined to sit in the
1all. Most farmers, however, have
found it advisable to buy poultry
rather than to buy the eggs, and the
1all Is the time when. this should be
done. This is the time of surplus
STOCK. This is the time when the
men that have good fowls have some
on hand to sell. and the man that
wants to Increase the number of his
breeding birds should purchase them
as soon as possible, that he may have
MS pick, rather than take what is left
after most of the surplus has been
sent to market. There is another rea.
on why the farmer should stock up
early in the fall rather than late, and
mat is that the birds may be fed
under his care long before the cold
Weather comes on. AS a usual thing,
the men that are raising fowls to
sell are feeding them the cheapest
possible food, with the idea Of pro.
duclng a fowl that will look we'll and
sell well. Almost always this feed.

Mistake.
There Is a general impression that
there are no song birds in the Bermu-
das," said Frank A. Meade of Los An
geles. Il spent an autumn there, and
can give a few facts about some of the
native birds. The native birds Of Ber-
muda are the red bird Cardinals pu-
bra), bluebird, knocking bird, ground
dove, kingfsher and chick of the viii
lage. The redbird's song is between
a MARBLE and a shrill whistle. The
chick of the village reminds one of the
English wren. It's sprightly note may
be heard at intervals through the
year. The melody Of the blue and
hooking birds are too familiar in Wis
consin to need introduction. About
fifty kinds of birds, including mi
grants, have been observed. The mi
grant birds leave the coast of Ameri-
ca early in the autumn in large flocks
to seek southern ATTITUDES, and stop
at islands on the way to rest. The
most frequent visitors are golden
plover, sandpipers, snipes, owls and
eagles.'-Milwaukee Free Press.
