(. Number of Eggs Per Year.

The number of eggs that a hen will
produce in a year is greatly over
estimated. If we look in poultry books
we will see various estimations as to
the average production of different
breeds of poultry. Thus, all the Leg
horn varieties are credited with 200
eggs a year, and the Plymouth Rocks
with about $50 a year. These are
supposed to be the average figures. I
am certain from my own investiga-
tons and observations that the aver
age productions are very far below
these figures. I do not believe that
the Leghorn varieties will average
over $50 a year, or that the Plymouth
Rocks will produce more than 100
eggs a year on the average. .Remem-
Der that | am talking about averages,
and not what the best layers will do.
l have no doubt that there are a great
many L.eghorns that wi. lay 200 eggs
a year, and l am absolutely certain
that there are a great many Of that
breed that do not lay 100 a year. l
once kept a very close account of the
productions of a mixed flock of layers.
There were some Leghorns in my
flock, some Plymouth Rocks, and some
that did not appear to belong to any
breed. In NO year was l ever able
to get more than 120 eggs on the
average. l know of a New York man
that has for many years been raising
White Leghorns. He had several hun
dred of these, and had been breeding
out the poorest layers, SO far as he
could tell them, and retaining the
best layers. At the time l saw him
last, he said that his best year had
been the year that had given him 100
eggs per hen on the average. It must
be remembered that these were. Sc
lected birds of the best laying breed.

Miss KafeMcA0noId

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere Or do anything. backache,
bearing-down pains, fatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, leucorrhea.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedyfo for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge.
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
~ think that a woman naturally dislikes to
make her troubles known to the public, but
restored health has meant so much to me that
] cannot help from telling mine for the sake
of other suffering women.
"For a long time l suffered untold agony
with a uterine trouble and irregularities,
which made me a physical wreck. and no one
Thought l would recover, but Lydia Il. Pink
HAMS Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what u splendid medicine it is"
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegcta-
BILE Compound at once, and write to
Mrs Pinkham, Lynn. Mass, for special
advice it is free and always helpful.

Pasteurization Advisable.

The Danes are practicing pasteuri.
cation in nearly all of their creameries
and they are finding it of great value to
them in trying to hold the markets
against competing buffers. When ,peo-
pie come to understand that they are
using butter that has been made from
pasteurized milk or cream they feel a
great deal better about it than if they
know they are eating butter, made
from milk or rea in which disease
germs may Turk. The man that pas.
teuriZes his milk should advertise that
fact, as it will help in the sale of his
product. People have to be educated
along these lines, for the butter from
pasteurized cream or milk has a
slightly burnt taste sometimes, which
will be objected to unless the consum-
ers know it is the result of pasteuriza-
ton. When they know that the I'M
usual taste in the butter results from
pasteurization, that will he a recon-
mendation for it.

The Best Breed Of Poultry,

What is the best breed? This is a
4uestlon that is being continually
asked by amateurs in poultry breed
ing, cut is never answered. The ex-
perlenced poultry breeder does not
ASK 1t and does not try to answer it.
ne mas long since learned that there
Is no pest breed for all persons, all
localities, and all conditions. The
man that wants to raise broilers for
market will select the kind of fowl
nat will prove the best for his pur-
pose, and the bird that would be the
pest Tor one man under one set of
conditions would be worthless for an
other man under another set of con-
ultlons. Thus in the raising of broil-
ers the heavier breeds are usually rec
commended, such as the Wyandottes,
tne Langshans, and the Brahmas. But
tnere are cases where even the small
breeds prove to be the best for this
purpose. One man in Indiana told me
that ne was supplying about 900 broil-
ers a year to the New York market,
and he had been engaged in this bust
ness for a great many years. He had
tried a large number of varieties of
fowls but the breed that had proved
the best for him, and which he had
settled down to use was the Brown
Leghorn. His particular market want
ed a bird small and plump, such as
the Brown Leghorn chick made, at a
certain age. Thus, in his case we see
a variety of the egg laying breeds
used for a purpose generally supposed
to be peculiar to the heavy breeds. l
might give illustrations, too, relative
to egg laying. The Brown Leghorn
is a great layer, and is we'll adapted
to many localities Of this country. Yet
farther north, farmers raise a great
objection to the large comb on the
head OF the single combed Leghorn,
as this comb frequently freezes off,
and this accident supposedly incapa-
c1ates the hen from laying very many
eggs. Thus the Leghorn, which is
well adapted to one locality, is not
adapted to another. I know a man
who had a yard surrounded with a
two foot fence. He wanted a fowl
that he could keep in this yard that
would not lily over the fence, that
would be always tame and yet would
be a large producer of eggs. This
fowl he found in the Light Brahma
So the best fowl for him was the
Light Brahma. l might name over
every variety of fowl and show that
each one was best in some localities
and under some conditions.-Sophie

Review.

How Many Acres Per cow?

We have frequently asked how many
acres should be devoted to the pas
turage of Il COW, and how many
COWS can be pastured per acre. These
TWO questions are the same question
IN another form, though they may be
Inherently answered. The number Of
acres that should be devoted to the
pasturage Of n cow must depend on
many things. Therefore no answer
can be given that will apply to all cir
cumstances. In England it is esti-
mated that or the best conducted
farms a COW and a sheep can be sus-
tanned throughout the growing cas-
by acre of pasturage. 1t must be
remembered that these English pas.
lures have been carefully managed for
centuries and are probably the best
In the world. In the United States
an attempt has been made to apply
the English rule to our pastures, and
with considerable success. We have,
however, a factor that does not come
within the scope of English farming.
n that is the large area of land new.
~ cleared, often half filled with
stumps that had Deen left to de.
cay, according to tie processes of
nature. 1t is evident that such land
will not sustain a cow and a sheep
per acre, no matter how luxuri-
ant h grass may be. The addition
OF the soiling system to our methods
OF agriculture has added a new ele.
| mani RI fhn npNI1Oy,, FTl, r~s1s-~ ~~x-
TEN consists in giving the cows only
enough room to exercise, and cutting
and bringing to them all their green
feed, whether it consists of grass,
green corn, alfalfa, or other forage
crops. In such cases the pasture is
very small, and the feed producing
area OF the farm very large. We know
of farms where this is practiced.
where every acre of corn land is ex'
pected to produce at least Is tons OF
green forage. This is more than can
ne consumed by a COW in a year. In
such cases every acre all over the
land sustains than does the Eng
llsh acre, which is required to do its
work only through the grazing season
We have seen pastures in some parts
OF the east that sustained at least -four
cows per acre, but those were pas
lures that were being managed for the
purpose of showing how much they
could be made to produce. The grass
was allowed to become large before
the COWS We're turned on it at all, ant
they were kept on it for only a shor
period at a time, two pastures beins
a~lternated with each other. Unde,
these methods the grass stalks Were
always large, which meant that tn,
growth would be rapid during all tn,
growing season. Short grass in pas
lures increases very slowly, but larg'
grass very rapidly. 1t is thus see1
that the number of cows that a pas
ture will sustain depends on the mar
agement and the objects the pasture
owner is striving to attain.--Jame:

Cause of Soft shelIed Eqqs.

The production of soft shelled eggs
is certainly due to a deranged condi-
ton Of the egg producing organs Of
the fowl. Some tell us that it is due
to the lack Of lime. Others say that
it is an unbalanced condition of the
feed, but we find soft shelled eggs
produced both by the hens that have
an abundance of lime and those that
are fed balanced rations. Out of a
flock of so hens we have seen n that
would produce soft shelled eggs Wien
all the other hens produced normal
eggs. She not only produced them
but ate them greedily as soon as pro-
duced. There was an abnormal con
dition of the egg producing organs,
and perhaps an abnormal state of the
appetite. For some reason or other
the organs upon which was laid the
charge of producing the egg shells
ceased to work. This is a matter that
must be more fully studied before
the full cause Of the soft egg shell
can be ascertained.

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST,"
o%verzealous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.

overzealous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.
Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties. Every now and then some
jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for a law to require
every package of proprietary medi-
cine to be labeled with a printed
statement Of the formula showing
just how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines eel to be satisfied: but
the man with a mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest to serve is
the n who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has eve taken
time to consider it, such a proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet 1t
is in fact nothing more nor less than
a scheme to compel the manufacture
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy of every
commercial pirate who might choose
to flood the market with limitations of
their goods.
Under such conditions the incen.
tive for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly to
the benefit of the pirates and imita-
tors. Without advertising, the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine, and all future
sales would be greatly impaired if
not wholly destroyed. 1t is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowl-
edge of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions of peo-
pie have found relief at a compare
lively small expense by the use of
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising.
Why, then, should the manufacturer
Of a meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as a condition of
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean.-Exchange.

The Milk in the Udder.

| see the statement that normal
milk drawn from the healthy cow con.
tains no germs. In the light of certain
investigation, this statement is not
upheld. 1t was an early theory that
milk contained germs only after ii
had left the udder. 1t was therefore
assumed that if milk could be drawn
without being contaminated by germs
in the air, or in the utensils, it would
keep almost Indefinitely. The demon.
stration Of this was of course almost
impossible, because in practical opera
ton milk could not be, drawn from the
udders without being contaminated
by the air and without being put into
vessels that had also been exposed to
unsteriliZed air. The scientists, for a
while, accepted the belief that milk in
the udder was free from germs, but
later investigations show that this was
not the case. At least in some of the
experiments made it has been shown
that in many cases germs are to be
found in normal milk produced by
healthy cows. Most Of these germs
are in the fore milk, which is the milk
first drawn from the udder. The germs
decrease in number as the milk is
drawn, until the milk drawn last is
practically free from the germ life.
That germs find their way into the nd.
der is recognized by producers of first
class milk. These generally draw the
milk from the teat; and keep it sep.
arate, rather than to permit it to go
into the milk that is to be used in
commercial distribution.

A sharp break, such as we anticipated
in our last review, has been experienced
in the wheat market. Declines nave been
sharp and of sufficient size to clear the
situation of much tof it's weight. The
most powerful and aggressive interests
are now purchasing on each material de-
cline, and this in spite of the big crops.
The demand is wide and insistent. The
undertone in the market is distinctly
strong and healthy. The true character
of the market may be judged by the fact
that, while there is an apparent diff
ference in favor Of Canadian wheat for
export into several European states, lib
-ral amounts Of high grade American
wheat nave been sold to those countries.
This proves while the public markets
abroad may show prices below an import
lnvel. they need our fine wheat SO badly
that private prices are higher than the
market. If thus early in the season Eu-
rope is willing to pay a liberal premium
for the oast milling grades, what will be
the situation when the present source Of
supply, the Canadian fields, has become
e~xIausted9 We believe wheat will ad-
vance mat arially as soon as the situation
is n little better understood. For a long
