TEACHING HENS TO LAY.
Uncle Sam Has a College to Give
Them Culture.

Them Culture.
NOW that the success of seed corn
selection has been demonstrated be-
yond dispute, the vulnerability of the
Doll weevil clearly proven, the rela-
tive merit of shorthorn and longhorn
cattle established, and simplified
spelling vindicated, this land has
lturned to the long-neglected duty of
educating the American hen. AS an
abstract proposition, the American
hen is as cultured a fowl as thrives
on the face of the globe, but examin-
alton of her characteristics at close
range shows that there are certain
shortcomings which can only be OBJ
liberated by a thorough course under
a painstaking tutor.
1t is for this reason that the United
States government has just opened a
brand-new educational institution at
1.-THE little settlement near Baltimore
almost as hear Washington,
for it lies between the two cities-of
st. Denis. st. Denis will hold undis-
puted sway as the premier educator
of the hen.
The particular line of study to
which the institution is to devote its
energies is in association with the
laying of eggs.
The necessity for a school for the
education of the hen in the fowl art
OF laying eggs arises from the failure
OF the bird to keep abreast of this
progressive age. The hen has ig-
nored the presence of the incubator
among civilized peoples and persists
! both laying and Matching eggs.
The mission of Professor Slocum and
his able faculty is to persuade the
hen that mar is perfectly capable of
attending to the Matching if she will
devote her time and energies to the
prediction of the eggs
1t has been shown by experiments
that the hen can lay many more eggs
than it does. The stumbling block
has been the propensity to hatch
which asserts itself in the henly
breast. This results in loss of time
and a falling off in the egg supply.
Individual efforts to wean the hen
from her desire to set have been fire.
quent and of a varied character.
Every farmers boy knows the trick
of tying a piece of red flannel around
the right hind leg of a hen t o break
1t of its desire to set. The presence
of the bit of gaudy cloth has the eff
feet OF ~distracting the fowls atten-
tlon from every other ambition than
that of getting rid of i.
The fundamental principle upon
which Professor Slocum's work is
based includes the fact that there is
in the heart of every creature a de-
sire to excel. He holds that if he can
train one hen to lay without Interrupt
ton other hens will be stirred to
equal her accomplishments. Thus, in
a short time, the entire community of
hens will be engaged in a laudable
egg-laying contest. Heredity is look
ed, to to care for the rest.

USE OF SOUR e

If you have one or two cupfuls of
sour cream and wish to get a pot of
fresh butter without much trouble,
take a clean piece of white plotting
paper and a piece of cotton-Turkish
toweling is the best.
Place the cloth in a bowl with the
plotting paper owe it, arranged so
that it forms a hollow that will hold
the quantity of Ia you wish to
use.
Pour the cream over this and let it
stand for two or three hours, then
pour off any thin cream that may re-
main; take a dinner knife and care
fully raise the butter cake off the
paper.
1t. will roll up and leave the paper
clean. After taking it off pour BACK
the ear you have removed ana
leave it till all the thin part has run
through or been absorbed by the
cloth.
Then take a work and zeal up the
butter cake and in a minute 1t Will
Break into grains and a little butter
milk will run out.
Wash with cold water, beat till the
grains stick together and salt.
You will have a sweet pat of but
ter which was little trouble.
OF course, you would not want to
do a large quantity in this way. The
shallower the bowl, the quicker the
thin parts of the cream run through,
and all the butter fat is left on the
paper.

State Tax $1,167,OOO.

The only state tax this year is the
seven-tenths of a mill tax levied as
aid for common schools. This will
amount to about $I,I67,ooo and the
amount will be distributed to school
districts in proportion to the school
population children between the
ages of 5 and 20 years. The reduc-
ton of the state tax is due to the in
creased revenue from public service
agencies-railroads, insurance COM
panies, etc. The railways will pay
taxes to the amount of $2,57o,ooo,
and the insurance companies, fire
and life, with the fees of the state
offices will add to this 100000 and
income from other sources will give
the administration $4,7Io,ooo, the
largest annual revenue the state has
ever received. This large aggre-
gate income enables the administra-
ton to turn $I,I25,464 over, a part
to the interest fund and part to
the support of special schools.
This sum is distributed as follows:
Interest on state debt $I57,57o
Free High schools 100000
Graded Schools $4,000
University 557,oI4
Normal Schools 100000

newspapers has seriously injured
