CATTLE-Receipts Of cattle were very
large this morning, over go cars being re-
ported In. or about the same number that
was here a week ago. A considerable pro-
portion of the receipts consisted of COW
stuff with liberal sprinkling of fat steers
The market on the desirable kinds OF fat
and the trade was without any especially
new features. 1t was not what might be
called an active market, and stin buyers
were out In good season and began picking
up such loads as came the nearest to
meeting their requirements. With quite
good many cattle here to select from buy
ers were enabled to be little more dis
eliminating, and hence the least desira BILE
kinds were slow and In some cases a little
weak. AS high as $500 was paid for a load
of steers with three heifers.
Cows and heifers were i'm large supply
and a considerable proportion of the re-
ceipts consisted of that kind of cattle as
noted above. Owing to the very large Of
ferings the market on COW stun opened
slow and weak and II was late before very
much business was transacted. When the
cattle did sell they went at prices any
where from weak to lOc lower than yes
terday.
There was no great number OF stockers
and feeders in sight. but there were some
quite sizable punches of westerns. The
demand was very good and the market
active at good, strong prices. II was

Milk albumen. which is Il byproduct
Of the milk sugar factories. was COM
pared with fresh meat and meat scraps
at the Utah station, with the results
greatly favoring the meat. AS the al
bumen is very rich in protein, it APP
pears that the trouble is owing to its
lack of fat. the fatty material in the
meat helping to increase egg prOduc-
ton. 1t has been found that lean meat
produces better results fed with corn
than with wheat, indicating that the
fatty material must be obtained some
how and that when it is lacking in the
meat ii can be obtained from a grain
which contains OIL like corn. Pens at
the Utah station having the most fat
produced most eggs. The same gen
eral results were produced in two sue
cessive years. Hens fed fresh meat
scraps OF bone gave a considerably
better egg yield than those having meat
meal. The results tend to suggest tE1t
the Importance Of fat in food has been
neglected and that much of the good eff
feet of meat is due to the fat which it
contains rather than the protein or
lean portion.

Concerning pcrcEes.

There is no advantage in placing
perches one above another, stair fash
ion, in the hypotenuse Of triangle.
If they be thus arranged the distances
Of the perches from each other must
he measured on the base of the TRAN
GLE from the fact that the droppings
fall perpendicularly. They should be
far enough apart to avoid soiling the
plumage If there is no economy Of
space in this arrangement there Is no
argument for it.
Fowls will jump from the lowest
perch to the next and so on to the
highest and then quarrel They all
want the highest place. 1t is prefera-
BILE to have the perches placed on a lev
ell platform to catch the droppings. 1t
may be just high enough to be handy
in cleaning and the percles about one
foot above it. All perches should be
movable, so as to facilitate the applica-
ton of kerosene when necessary to
every part Perches should be at
least two inches wide and rest firmly
in Il slot or m0rtise. Fowls will cling
to one edge of wide perch, and the
width will give opportunity to rest the
weight Oh the shanks A very narrow
perch makes it necessary to bear the

milk or water make an excellent mash
for them and that the eggs hatch better
than when fed whole hard grain.
They should have cut hay or green
grass, free range and all the fresh wa
ter they care to drink. During the
breeding season 1 keep them separate.

NEED OF SIDE BITCHES.
Valuable In Carrying Off Water From
Rural Highways.

Every country road in America
should have side bitches, says CORE
spondent of Farm Progress. Few per-
sons know how great an amount OF
water falls upon a country road, and
if might be surprising to know that on
one mile of an average country road In
the United States, three rods wide, fall
each year an average of twenty-seven
tons of water
So insist upon side bitches. There
should be one on each side of the road
wherever possible. They are necessary
because the thousands Of tons Of water
which fall upon the average country
road each year in the form of rain and
snow should be at once carried away
to neighboring creek or some other
water channel as fast as the snow
molts, SO as to prevent it from forming
deep mud and thus destroying the sur
face of the road.
A side ditch should have a gradual
falling and even grade at the bottom
with broad sides. With bitches so con-
structed there is little danger OF the
sides of banks caving in, and they will
easily clear themselves of snow, weeds
and rubbish. In locating the ditch it
is best to leave it three feet from the
edge of the roadway unless the space
is too limited to so permit but in any
case at least two feet should be al
lowed.

Fresh Air For Hens.

When a poultry house 'sweats,"
when dampness condenses on the walls
and forms as frost or drips down upon
the occupants it is sure sign that the
house is not aired often enough or that
you have overrated the capacity Of the
building and have too many fowls in 1t.
You can keep more birds with safety in
we'll aired building than in one that
is kept tightly closed. For this reason,
from q standpoint of economy of house
room if for no other reason, the neces-
sity Of Thorough airing Of the poultry
buildings should appeal to every one.
A plentiful supply of fresh air is
necessary to health. a damp, i'll venti-
lated building means disease. debility
and often that scourge, contagious ca
tarrh, Familiarity known rs roup.

When to Feed Corn.

In the matter of feeds the fowls need
grains, green's. grit and ground bone
the four "g's." OF grains wheat and
oats have given us the best success.
Corn on an evening when the mercury
is low and the nights are long Is good,
but when fed should be given as last
feed and after the birds have eaten all
they will Of the smaller grains. When
fed only occasionally with corn all hens
will relish it and eat it when their APP
petites seem satisfied. There Is no
danger of overlooking on cold winter
nights if the corn is given in this way.
The corn will produce heat in the body
Of the bird rather than induce egg pro-
duction.-Canada Cor. Reliable Poultry

How IN Make Towns Progress.

Nv pat,oniZing other than home in
situations you are using a boomerang

you least expect it. says D. NJ. Carr in
the Home Trade Advocate. Love Of

citizen and work against the interests
Of his home town. If he is not sat
isfed with his surroundings the coun-

PaultrY For Market.

The best kind Of chicken for the
market is q plump fowl with yellow
skin, such as the Plymouth Rock,
Wyandotte, Light Brahma, Leghorn
or, in fact, almost any chicken with
light feathers. Stock Of this kind
dresses out yellow and always will
bring the top of the market. Dark
feathered poultry when dressed out has
q dark blue skin, and it always sells Of
a lower price than light colored stock
The best breeds Of, chickens for broilers
are Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes ant
Light Brahmas. The chicks should be
Matched in January and February.

Just as many thousands to her in con-

most pressing problems in France at
the present moment is, how are we 60
ing to get rid of the dust nuisance!
The leading expert in Europe on the
subject of dust suppression is DR.. Gu
glielminetti. The doctor, instead OF
looking after his patients at Monte
Carlo. prefers subjecting the roads TO
the coal tar treatment, and this is his
explanation: The dust is simply driv-

For several years he has been trying

roads at Fontainebleau and Melun the
