The fuss started In most unusual
and unprecedented way, way that |
really am reluctant to set down, it was
so contrary to all that is natural and
ordinary in domestic life. Mrs. Red
dington had asked for some money for
household purposes, and Reddington
had grumbled.
Hence the row. Charges of extrava-
gance were met by counter-charges of
stinginess; charges of foolish wasteful-
ness were replied to with charges Of
meanness; and so 1t grew warm and
torrid and Illuminating. And 1t ended,
as all such discussions do, by Reddng-
toms throwing a ten-dollar bill, violent

quarter in my pocketv he exclaimed
traglcally. But it's enough. 1t Will

"That's just like your wicked selfish
ness" retorted Mrs. Reddington indlg-
nantly, at the same time gathering in
The ten-spot. "You talk about my
wastefulness, and then you waste a LOT
Of money ON yourself without the least
necessity for it,"
Reddington glowered more gloomily.

placidly, "why can't you gIye me that

In operating an incubator to the best
advantage it will be found that, even
with the be machines, the most ac-
curate regulation of heat in the egg
chamber is to be had in room where
the temperature is constant and the
ventilation good. A cellar is about
the best place, as rule, that can be
found.
Good ventilation is essential. since
the little chicks require Il considerable
amount of oxygen for the vital func-
tions and the lamp of the machine
exhausts the supply in its immediate
vicinity where the ventilation is inn
perfect. The following are few
points which are worth observing in
the running of an incubator.
Read the manufacturers directions
and comply with them.
Set the machine up level. and see
that it remains level.
Do not allow draft in the machine.
Use good oil, and trim the lamps at
is poor.
Remove infertlle eggs and dead
germs on the sixth or eighth day, and
test again about the fifteenth day.
The second day commence turning
the eggs twice day, morning and
evening. at regular intervals, and con-
tinue the turning until the eighteenth
day.
Run the machine at 10219 degrees
throughout, allowing the temperature
to run up just before Matching to 104
degrees or 105 degrees If it is inclined,
not endeavoring to check the rise until
it gets beyond los degrees-its max
imum-which temperature will not be
too high when the chicks are coming
out rapidly.
Under no ordinary circumstances
should the machine be opened whep
the chicks are Matching. 1t is of the
greatest Importance that the tempera-
ture and humidity should remain con
slant at this particular time. and none
of the chicks should ever require as
sistance in leaving the she'll Should
the machine be opened the rapid
evaporation causes sudden cooling
of the egg chamber and also dries it
off, so that many chicks just pipped
stick to the shell and do not hatch.
When the Matching is well over, the
machine should be opened and the
unmatched eggs removed. II is our
practice to allow the chicks TO remain
in the machine for the first twenty -four
hours at "A temperature of ninety de-
grees to nlnety-four degrees, trans

IHs MODERN FARMER.
How Ho Lives as Compared with Fift
Years Ago.


|" HE farming life of to-day, as
contrasted with that of fifty
years ago, Is paradise of
comfort and convenience. The
lonely loghouse, remote from market
and devoid Of advantages that a half
cycle of time has made possible. would
scarcely appeal to the present day
farmer.
The twentieth century soil tiller has
practically all the modern comforts.
His mail is delivered daily. He has
telephone connection with the buying
and selling world affording the best
opportunities for marketing 10 advan-
tage. His home is OF recent architec-
ture. constructed OF wood, brick or
stone, and well furnished. He has
modern plumbing and modern heating.
and with the advent OF acetylene gas.
he has modern lighting. At night his
home is as attractively illuminated as
that of his city brother for It is a sug-
gestiye fact that "acetylene for coup-
try homes" has so appealed to the farm
er that of the 10000 users of acety-
lene gas In the United States the farm
er is one of the largest Of ali classes.

tated in availing himself of this new
light.
The continued growth and progress
of this great country, ever cause of
wOnderment, has no greater exempli-
fcatlon than evolution on the farm.
Already the farmer is becoming the
most envied OF men--the freest, the
healthiest, the happiest!

The old-fashioned way of setting
milk In the ordinary six-quart shallow
pans has nothing to commend ii ex-
cept the cheapness of the outfit The
pans take up great deal of room in
the dairy, and make great deal of
work in washing, although the new
pans, pressed out of one piece of tin
ware, are not so hard to wash as the
old ones that were made out of four
or five pieces, and had seam around
the bottom and two or three up the
sides. Leaving out of consideration
the large amount of room that forty
or fifty pans take up in dairy, which
Is a big item on many farms. we find
other strong objections In that pans
last but few years. they cause lots
of mess from spilling and leaking. and
the milk sours and thickens before the
cream has time to rise. The last point
is the greatest objection, and very
serious one t. the use of shallow pans
in dairlcs of half a dozen cows or
more. Just ..ow much butter. fat or
cream Is lost in the milk, the average
farmer does not know. He thinks
that it is only little, and that it does
not amount to much. But really it
amounts TO Il good deal, and may be
the whole of the profit. The following
experience shows the loss through
setting milk in open pans: A herd of
fourteen cows was in milk. and giving
about 250 pounds oc milk day. The
pans were set in cool room and al
lowed to stand for thirty-six to forty
eight hours. The skimming was test
ed, and 1t showed that nearly all the
cream rose in the first twelve hours,
no difference being shown between
that set twelve hours and that set
thirty-siX hours. But the amount OF
butter fat which was los. was some
thing appalling. amounting as it did
to eight-tenths of one per cent, or
about one-siXth of the whole amount
of the butter in the milk. This loss
is not surprising to one who has OPP
portunity to make such tests. and it
is going on every day on hundreds of
farms in this country. In this case
it amounted to two pounds of butter
per day, and nearly all of this could
have been saved by the use of

Who has better right to all the
strawberries he can eat than the
farmer? If he does not have them,
whose fault is Il? No family garden
is complete without them; it is just
as easy to grow strawberries as it is
TO grow anything else in the garden.
They are the very first fruit to ripen,
coming at 4 time when the wife is at
her wits end TO know what to have.
to help her prepare complete meal.
And there are many ways in which
they can be prepared for winter use.
Let us figure 1t up and see how much
1t will cost lie farmer TO keep Il big
family well supplied with Strawberries
al! the year. Four hundred plants will
be ample. and they should be selected
from the earliest to the latest varieties,
so the table can be supplied with
fresh, rich herries all through the sea-
SON. The cost of this number of plants
would not exceed SO; they will occupy
about ten square rods of ground. and
one man can set them out In about
two hours. After this. they require
ohput thS SHiilf blHpuul VI Nbth IT'S
vegetables; the yield should be at least
80 Quarts. Figure This up at ten
cents per quart and you have grown
$50 worth of strawberries. and this
same bed of plants will do fully as
well for one more season. However.
we should not figure them in money
value, for the pleasure of contributing
such good things to the family's happi-
ness counts far more than money.

pressed by reading a letter from cor
respondent of the Indiana Farmer.
which we publish, to try the hand
cream separator. 40 he then had ten
cows. He soon found that he had been
losing good deal in the old way of
setting. and that in feeding his sweet
milk from the separator he was now
growing the healthiest hogs he ever
did. and has added twelve more cows
TO his dairy herd. He writes that since
lie began feeding skim sweet milk
from separator to lis hogs he has never
had any swine disease. though his
nelghbors have suffered from swine
plague all around him.
Several other correspondents have
alluded to the fact of never having
swine disease since they begun feed
ing sweet skim milk. The fact is.
'pigs, like the human animal are not
susceptible to disease when in perfect
physical condition. Feeding skim milk
with corn or meal keeps them in this
condition. and though disease germs
may be present, in perfect condition
they throw them off by good and per-
feet health and digestion. Indiana

All railroad men qualified to speak

uel Spencer. of the Southern Railway,
when he says: "Therc IS no division of
opinion as to the dcsirubility of stop
ping all secret or unjustly discr,mina-

Mr. Spencer. in speaking of unjust
~ discriminatory" rates and devices,
makes Il distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense There may
he discrimination in freight rates

lively required by the complex com.
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have to
deal. TO abolish such open and honest
discrimination might paralyZe the in
dustrics of cities. States and whole sec
tions of our national territory
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions of the Inter-
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on commercial
principles, taking into account the special
conditions which bear upon the commercial
value of the services rendered. With the
reservation that rates shall be charged with
out arbitrary discrimination to all shippers
alike under like conditions. the making of
rates should as tar as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the Develop
ment of the traffic and to produce the great
est results to the public and to the railroads
themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr.. Walk
er d. Hines, of Louisville, showed in
his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystallze flexible and
justly discriminatory rates into fixed
Government rates which cannot be
changed except by the intervention of
