William Cooper. the Milo taXidcr-

been shipped to him by a sportsman,
to be mounted. The hawk was shipped
alive and when Mr.. Cooper opened the
box the bird broke away from his de-
tanning grasp and smashed its way
through one of the shop windows to
the world and freedom. The hawk
was apparently stunned by its contact
with the glass and fell upon the plat
form, where it lay fluttering when Mr..
Cooper arrived on the scene. Thinking
to stun the bird Mr.. Cooper struck it
over the head with n stick, with the
result, quite different from what he
had anticipated, the bird spread its
wings and sailed away through the
atmosphere, evidently none the worse
for its experience.

When a horse has been injured on
wire the first thing to do Is stop the
flow of blood; this may as a rule be
done by bandaging it up tight. 1t
may also frequently be best to apply
powdered alum or common saleratus,
both of which will generally be found
effective. In a few hours, consider
able swelling will set in; this should
be reduced either by applying cold wa
ter frequently, or, what is really bet
ter, applying pure kerosene oil, not
only to the wound but also to the
swollen parts. No bandage should be
kept on where kerosene is used, as it
will then cause the hair to fall off tenn
porarily, and as soon as it is safe to
washed with soft water and CASTLE
soap. This ought to be repeated daily
until the sore heals. One of the best
healing medicines for horsefesh that
l have ever used can be put up at any
drug store, as follows: One-half pint
of alcohol; one-half pint of spirits of
turpentine; ounce Of pure glycerine;
mix all together in large bottle and
shake well before using. Apply only
with a feather at morning and night
The sore should never be bandaged
By daily washing it will in this way
heal up very rapidly. l can person
ally testify to the effectiveness of this
simple remedy, as we have made use
of it in numerous cases, with the best
results, where every other remedy we
tried failed to heal up the sore on the
horse.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Finishing on Coops.

One of the economics in the poultry
business is to have coops which may
be used for any desired purpose with
out making it necessary to in any way
subdivide the main poultry house.
Coops for sick fowls, coops for the
ROSTERS, coops for the broody hen and
coops to finish off the birds which are
to go to market later. One of the best
designs for the latter purpose can be
built on the sunny side of the barn or
the poultry house proper thus saving
the expense for lumber. This coop is
three feet in width, and any length de-
sired, but figured so that the lumber
will not cut to waste.

Eggs are the basis of the poultry in
dustry. Egg farming is the most prof
table branch of poultry culture. But
in order to get eggs we have to keep
hens as sort of necessary incumber-
ance.
Some people keep hens at a profit
Of 80 cents or less per year. Others
get as high a profit as SO per hen. 1t
is partly a difference in the hens, but
it is much more a difference in the
man or woman behind the hen.
Very large size is not desirable in
any variety Of fowls. According to the
new Standard, when two birds are
equal in other respects, the one nearer
the weight called for will have the
preference, and not the heavier bird,
as formerly. OF course, this rule Is
against under size as much as against
over size.

Cut Bone and Animal Food.

Just the day the fowls are brought
into the house and confined to the run
of a small yard they begin to pine for
animal food which they had in abund-
ance on the range. 1t is this lack
that is at the bottom of the egg falling
off rather than any other cause, as
will be discovered, If one will take the
trouble to look into the matter. 1t
must be understood, however, that ami
NAL food does not mean anything IN
the shape of meat one can get. There
market that are good enough for fer
tilizer, but decidedly not of value for
feeding poultry If one can arrange
with the local butcher to supply what
meat is wanted for the fowls he will
have no trouble provided he buys meat
that is not tainted and does not lay in
a supply too large. Green bone an
swers the same purpose to some ex-
tent, but it is hard to grind and must
be ground fresh to be of value. With
a small supply of animal food, green
bone and green food of some kind one
ought to have good production OF
eggs throughout the winter, following
any plan of feeding that has reason
able amount of variety.
How Warmth Economies Food.
Temperature has a great effect on
fattening animals. Where farm stock
\ are kept In cold houses it becomes
necessary to increase the quantity Of
food In order to maintain the warmth
of the body. In many cases pig feed
ers pay little attention to this matter,
and rather than go to the expense Of
providing warm stys for the accommo-
dalton of their animals in winter they
often adopt the ultimately more ex-
pensive plan Of giving additional food
to keep up the normal heat of the
body.
