Keep The animals Warm.

GLOW do you manage to always
keep cattle looking so sleek and fine
was asked of successful stock raiser.
"Why, l keep them comfortable "
he replied, from the day they are
born until sell them"
And this is to a great extent the
secret of success in stock growing.
The best farmers are the best stock
raisers; and this is a branch of farm
ing that always wins in the long run.
Ii you can raise all the rough feed
and grain that your stock need, do
so, by all means, but don't neglect the
stock to do this. Better buy of some
less fortunate neighbor who has more
feed than stock. There are other
things beside feed, too. Have you
seen cattle and horses bumped and
shivering, day after day, through the
worst part of the winter? Do you
think that those animals were COM
Portable? Picture yourself in that con
dition and imagine how YOU would like
it! 1t is difficult to see how some men
can crawl into warm bed at night
and sleep sOundly until morning,
while their live stock stand half frozen
and perhaps haIf-fcd all night. Such
Il mans feelings must be pretty well
blunted. 1t doesn't pay in dollars and
cents, either. Now, it doesn't cost
much to fix up Il comfortable shelter
for stock, when old hay and straw
can be had almost for nothing. When
a man lets his stock suffer from the
cold, it is a clear case Of shiftlessness.
But every year there are fewer and
fewer Of the shiftless class.

Use OF Nitrogen Bacteria Limited.

The eXtravagant and misleading
claims made by many of the circulars
advertising those widely heralded bac.
terra for inoculating barren soil, which
were to revolutionize agriculture, have
led the United States Department or
Agriculture to issue a warning to the
farmers. In the first place the inocu-
lation is very limited in application
If the ground is already naturally in
fected with these nitrifying germs, any
further addition of the artificial pro-
duct is useless. They in no sense re,
place the usual forms of fertilizer; II
the ground is barren, no benefit can be
expected to result from its mere inocu-
lation with bacteria; phosphates, pot
ash, lime or other plant food must be
added along with the nitrogen-dXing
microbes. In a soil already rich in
nitrogen the bacteria do little good.
Furthermore, many of the bacteria
now on the market are of no value
whatever. OF nineteen samples bought
in the open market and examined by
the Bureau Of Plant Industry one was
pronounced very good five others
GOOD" and most of the remainder
POOR and eight worthless"

Ten millions Of dollars or more, prop
erly expended each year through the
medium Of agricultural colleges and
departments throughout the states,
would be a valuable investment by the
National Government for the entire
nation, provided these influences tend
ed to upbuild the agricultural and
livestock interests of the South; to
teach the growing communities how to
care for their lands and their homes
in a manner that would return to the
soil its former richness, and to make
the products of the ground increase
and multiply and enrich the people.
But nothing could be more unfortu-
nate for any locality than to have
sums Of money voted to that pur-
pose and have it made use of fol
political advancement and the aid of
classes rather than the masses.

afoat, until California has become one
Of the largest poultry producing
states OF the country, and San Fran
cisco and the Pacific Coast are being
supplied with the finest quality OF
fresh-laid eggs and poultry Of all kinds
produced at home--a supply which
formerly came from east Of the Rocky
Mountains.
We note this for the benefit of the
states lying south Of the above men,
toned line. If the people in these
districts, individually, locally and ma
tionally, would take hold Of the up
building of the poultry interest, Of the
growing OF all kinds Of land and water
fowl for market and the producing of
fresh-laid eggs in winter, it would not
be many years before the fields of the
South would bloom again as in the
olden days when cotton was king, and
when the planter of these districts
rolled in wealth enjoying the distin-
guished attitude Of being envied by
all mankind.
The modus operandi to be pursued
in connection with the poultry in
dustry is extremely simple, and the
only wonder is that it is not more
generally carried out. 1t appears,
however, to need the energetic work
OF one or two men in each community
to demonstrate to the surrounding
farmers the advantage and profit in
employing up-to-date methods. The
barnyard flock can within q short
time and at q very small expense, be
bred up from an average of 60 or rs
eggs q year to a production Of 125 or
$50 eggs per hen, constituting the diff
ference between a loss and a hand
some profit from the flock. All it is
necessary to do is to decide upon some
suitable breed Of fowl and infuse new
blood into the flock each year by the i'm
portation Of a reasonably well-bred cock.
By this means not only can egg produc-
ton be increased but. if n general purpose
breed Is selected, a great average IN
crease in the weight Of the fowls will
be absolutely assured.
In connection with this, nothing
could be more profitable to handle
than the growing Of fruits and market
stuff throughout the entire South.
Two other features of great value
might easily be added; that is, cult
waiting squads for market and keep
Ing bees for the production Of honey
and bees-waX. In the local market.
bees-wax sells now for almost 40
cents a pound. In the southern or
warmer climates where winter feeding
would not be OF long duration, the
cultivation OF bees for bees-wax alone
would become a profitable vocation,
even il the extracted Ioney were dis
tributed among the neighbors as a
gratuitous compliment from the grow
ers of the bees. But the bees must
be compelled to build their own
honey-combs, to facilitate which. as
well as to have q larger product OF
bees-wax, the boxes for receiving the
honey should be so constructed as to
influence the formation OF a large
amount Of honey-cOmb or bees-wax in
preference to honey.
II these matters were earnestly
taken hold Of by the agricultural de-
partments in every Southern State
and pushed as they should be, with

used are those from vigorous parent

used are those from vigorous parent
stock, known to produce a high per.
centage of fertile eggs, while in order
to secure great percentage Of fertile
eggs the hens should be allowed a
rest after each laying period, The
eggs should be handled very carefully
and not subjected to extremes of tenn
perature in storage, and used only
when comparatively fresh.
AS whole it may be said that the
ordinary conditions prevailing on the
farm as a rule favor the production of
eggs of high vitality. The keeping
quality of eggs is a very different mat
ter from fertility, as it is the general
belief that infertile eggs keep better
than fertile.

in pens with three male birds and the
percentage of fertile eggs observed for
nine days after mating. This in
creased regularly from o on the day
Of mating to 80 per cent. on the eighth
day after mating. The fertility of the
eggs was apparently not materially af-
fected until the twelfth day after re-
moving the ROSTERS. This point was
also studied at the Ontario Agricul-
tural College and Experimental Farm.
THO hens were separated from the
male and the eggs laid each day were
placed in an incubator and tested with
respect to their fertility. OF the eggs
laid during the first four days after the
male was removed, 20 per cent. were
fertile; Of those laid on the fifth day,
CT per cent; on the sixth, 60 per cent;
on the seventh, 40 per cent; on the
eighth, IL per cent; on the ninth, 2
per cent. and on the tenth, all were
infertile.
The influence of the male on the
total number of eggs produced was
also tested with two lots. Lot / con-
sisted of pullets, 5 hens and / cock;
lot 2, of hens and pullets Of the
same varieties as lot /. Both pens
were fed and cared for in the same

CONDITION IMPROVED.

Mrs. Rebecca Moulthrop, of Bridge port, was operated on at the Bridge port hospital on July 14th for facial neuralgia. Dr. Hartly, of New York, was the operator. A large number of physicians were in attendance, the na- ture of the operation being rare. A portion of the base of the brain was removed by the physician in all effort to remedy tn affliotion, under which the patient had been suffering for some years. Mrs. Moulthrop had suf- fered excruciatingly for years with her ailment Several previous operations had been performed on her whenl it was found necessary to remove some of the nerves in the head to relieve the pain suffered, but only temporary re- lief followed. The patient was in a good condition last night and her re- covery is looked for.
