TWO PenniIesa Princes.

While the two elder sons of Prince
Waldemar were out walking near Co
penhagen recently night came on be-
fore they could return home, and. find
ing the roads very heavy they kept
a lookout for conveyance. The
only vehicle that passed them was a
coal cart, and into this the two young
princes climbed.
On arriving at the outskirts of the
town the driver refused to take them
any further, and demanded payment.
The princes explained that they had
no money with them and told the man
who they were, bidding him take them
to the palace. He refused to believe
their story, however, until a police
man arrived and, recognizing the
princes, lent them some money SO
that they could return to the palace
in a tramway car.

Eeedinn for MILK

Taking it for granted that the dairy
man has warm and comfortable win
ter quarters for his mich COWS, a
good flow of milk is readily produced
with proper feed and management. If
the farmer has corn silage, he is able
to put up the best and cheapest dairy
ration Obtainabie. We feed COWS on
full flow Of milk from 20 to 25 pounds
of Silage twice a day, morning and
night. At noon, bright, clean clover or
millet hay is given, in such quantities
as will be eaten up clean. About three
pounds of bran is given with silage
to those on full flow of milk, while
others receive proportionately less.
The feeder must constantly watch his
animals, as to how they respond to
liberal feeding, and vary his methods
with different animals. With silage
that has an abundance of corn in it
there is no need of feeding ground
corn.
Salt the COWS about every other
day, giving a small handful on feed
This will keep their bowels open and
prevent disorders OF the digestive
organs, which occur quite frequently
with ANIMALS highly fed. Where no
silage is obtainable, a good flow can
be maintained by feeding good clover
or millet hay in the morning and
bright shredded corn fodder at night
For the grain ration, feed about four
pounds of bran and two pounds Of
corn meal, or four pounds of corn and
cob-meal, twice a day. Although not
as good as the silage ration, still, i'll
the absence of a silo, it will prove
very satisfactory. Feed, water and
milk the cows regularly; see to their
every comfort, treat them kindly at
milking time, and rest assured that
you will receive your reward III a
good flow of milk.-H. Pfaender,

Eeedinn Farm liorses.

L. A. Merrill, Utah. speaking to con
course of farmers. said the amount of
hay fed on the ordinary farm may be
greatly reduced, so far as horses are
concerned. This, he said, would be a
saving to the farmers and would re
suit in reducing the digestive disor-
ders to which the horses are subject
Horses should receive most of the hay
at night, very little in the morning
and none at all for the noon meal
Always water before feeding. Oats
make the best grain feed for horses
but these can be replaced by bran or
shorts or supplemented by the use o.
corn. Carrots and sugar-beet pulp
have a marked beneficial effect in
horse feeding, serving as a laxative
arc tonic, as well as enabling the
horse to digest the hay and grain more
effectively Horses may eat as much
as 40 pounds OF sugar beet pulp daily

pairyino in Arqentina.

The dairy industry is rapidly ad-
vancing in Argentina. This is shown
by figures recently published by the
government of that country. Eleven
years ago the export of butter amount
ed to less than twenty tons. The fol-
lowing year, 1905, the figures were 494
tons; in 1901 they had reached a total
of ], $40 tons; in 1902 the total exports
of butter were 4,125 tons; in 1903 the
exports were $500 tons. OF these last
Great Britain bought ALA tons and
Africa 1913 tons. We have no later
statistics than those of 1903. The num-
Der of cows in the republic devoted
largely to the production of milk for
human consumption is about 1000, 600.

Many of the churns being offered up

We have just heard of a new churn
of this kind being manufactured in
Massachusetts,. 1t makes a pound of
butter from a quart of milk, which
has been the form Of fraud most COM
monty practiced in the sale of such
churns. It is easy enough, by the use
of pepsin, to collect the butter-fat and
the casein in milk into one mass that
looks very much like butter. The
mass, however, is not butter, but a
very rich, soft cheese. The men that
sell these churns depend upon this de-
ception for making their sales, and
we are sorry to believe that they find
altogether too many buyers.

King Hezekiah, it seems, was trou-

which rivals the famous Simplon
DR.. Bertholet of the University of

"Hezekiah fortified his city by bring

the solid rock by means of bronze,
and he collected the water in reser-

The tunnel leads into the pool of

was carried on from both ends, as is
proved by an inscription in the tunnel
and by the marks of boring tools,

in which the excavation was made.

FounoatIon or the New Poultry House
After building a number OF poultry
muses. one has certain important facts
IMPRESSED upon him. One Of these
mat comes home with q good deal of
.orce TO the writer is the matter OF
tounoation. II he builds another poul-
try mouse ne will see that the founda-
lion is perfect and that it win be more
tnan strong enough. A poultry house

spect viii be a nuisance In several
ways.
IL is customary to build poultry
houses on slopes where it can be done.
ana that is proper, as it gives good
drainage. But in case the foundation
proves to be poor and needs to be
supported it will generally be found
very difficult to do anything without
raising the house by means OF Jack
screws. The writer has had a very
Vexatious task OF this kind. The trou-
Die Is that one end of the house is
set SO close to the ground that one
cannot get under it or even get at
the parts that need to be supported.
When poultry house has to be
! erected that is twelve feet or more
! wide there should be row of sun
/ ports running the length of the house.
under the very middle Almost ali
amateurs make the mistake OF sup
porting the house only on the sides
and ends. The twelve-foot joists, even
! though they be six inches deep and
two thick, have very great amount
or vibration and it is unpleasant to-
walk over floor laid on such joists
| But If the time ever comes that the
mouse has to be used for another pur-
pose than poultry keeping, this kind
of floor will be found to be unendur-
able. This possibility should be borne
in mind, for numerous poultry houses
become transformed in time into
houses for other purposes, especially
II they are Of good size.
fault that is very noticeable in
the building of most of the houses
used by our poultry is that they are
merely set on posts stuck in the
ground for perhaps two feet. In few
years some of these posts rot and
others get a lean on them out of
| plumb due to the ground on one side
of the poultry house being softer than
on the other side. The rain gets into
| the holes and the soil there becomes
softer than at any other point, and
this does not improve as the years
so by. Settling goes on year after
year. have in mind a poultry house
that cost nearly hundred dollars. It
was set on cedar posts and the posts
are badly rctted now In spite of the
fact that cedar is supposed to be re-
sistenr to rot. Some of the cedar
posts have also got out of plumb, and
the house has moved over several
inches to accommodate the posts.
What the end will be nobody knows
Build the foundations strong in the
first place. If the building is to rest
on supports of any kind dig deep holes
! in the ground and put in brick or
stone duly cemented. Have a big
timber running the length of the
building and also resting on the same
kind OF piers. This will cost a little
more than the posts, but it will be
more satisfactory, and years afterwarCi
the owner will be glad that he so
invested the money that the good foun-
dations cost.

HAD GONE FROM LIFE FOREVER.
Frozen Fish Beyond All Hope of
Resuscitation.


A long pike, frozen in the center
of a large cake of ice, caused sew
eral dead game sports to lose bunch
of money last night. The fish and
the block of ice reposed on the back
bar of a well-knOwn thirst parlor and
the pike was viewed with curiosity.
Finally someone started a discussion
by stating that if the fish were re-
leased from it's prison of ice it would
revive and continue to live just as II
there had never been any ice. An
other gent disagreed with the first and
a general argument followed.
One fellow said that that was the
way fish spent the winter months, reg
ularly. Like snakes, he said, they re
manned in a comatose condition all
winter and when the ice melted in
the springtime they were just as
frisky as if summer had continued all
winter. The discussion became very
heated and bets amounting to several
hundred dollars were laid on both
sides of the question at issue. The
cake of ice was split and the fish
placed in a tub of lukewarm water
but at last reports he had shown nc
signs of life. The hackers of the re
suscitation proposition wouldn't give
up the money until an old fisherman
came in and said: EFF you hadn't
been a pack of derned fools you would
have knowed that feesh was dead be
fore it was ever friz up like that. =

Cost of TRANSFERRING Fowls.

Late in the fall or early in the
winter is the best time for the farmer
to buy poultry to rep+enish his stock
or to give him a high quality OF
breeders. These should be mated early
in February. l think it is better for
him to buy male birds, but he can do
much by buying both kinds. He need
got be afraid to buy birds at con-
siderable distance from him, as they
can be shipped long distances without
deterioration. The cost of shipping
birds is not great when we consider
the bulk of the bird and the trouble
any living thing is to the Transports
ton companies. I shipped one bird
to Cripple Creek, Col, for SIPS, cost
of transportation. On one shipped to
Los Angeles the cost of transportation
was $1.50. I have shipped several to
Kansas at the rate of 80 cents each.
l find that birds can be shipped IN
winter without being in danger of
taking cold, If they are boxed right
Whether the birds are taken care of
on the railroads is thing we cannot
know, as that depends on the en-
ployes. Some are careful of such
things and some are not Some farm

Winter Prices for MIX,

The price for milk in the winter
is generally very much higher than in
The summer. The difference for the
whole country is about the difference
between so cents and $3.50. This diff
ference, however, is extreme. In the
West, some of the milk will sell as
low as 80 cents per hundred pounds
in summer and S1.40 in winter, this
difference being about so cents. There
Is very little excuse for this great
difference in price, especially for the
small price in summer. 1t can only
be explained on the supposition that
farmers have not yet learned how to
dispose of their milk in the summer
time. We believe that, all things con-
sidered, and on we'll equipped farm.
milk can be produced as cheaply, or
nearly as cheaply, in winter as sum-
mer.
In the summer, often the question
of milking is a serious one, because
all the people on the farm are en-
gagged in looking after the crops that
are then being grown. In the winter
time, labor is more abundant and the
people who are doing the work on
the farm are less pressed for time.
Milking, therefore, should cost less in
the winter than in the summer. We
said, ION the farm that is we'll
equipped" This, OF course, means the
farm that has silo and where a
great amount of silage has been put
up in the fall. On some of our great
est dairy farms the COWS are not
turned out at all during the summer
time, so far as pasturing is concerned;
but they are fed in the stalls, summer
and winter, in such cases winter feed
costing practically the same as sum
mer feed.
The price for winter milk in north
ern Illinois should be $1.40 or $3.50
per hundred pounds, On the basis of
the present price of feed. We believe,
at such prices, it is possible for the
farmer to make money, providing he
so arranges his breeding operations
that about half of his cows will come
in fresh in the fall.
