TOsta Which Indicate That u Greatly
Increases Egg Production.
The department of agriculture has
received report from the West Vir-
ginia experiment station of test
made TO determine the value of skim
milk as against water for wettlng a
Iced mash. says American Poultry
Journal.
In the first test. which covered 122
days. twenty-five hens fed skim milk
laid l,244 eggs as compared with 096
eggs laid by the twenty-five hens fe,i
mash wet with water
In the first period of the second test
sixty hens fed the skim milk ration
laid S62 eggs in thirty-seven days as
compared with G32 eggs laid by Il sim
liar lot fed no skim milk. In the sec
Ond period the Tati0nS were reversed.
The chickens fed skim milk laid 1920
eggs in tifty-siX days as compared with
9T8 in the case of the lot fed no skim
milk In both experiments more eggs
were produced when skim milk was
substituted for water for molstening
the mash.
Under the conditions prevailing in
these experiments and with eggs sell
ing for 20 or % cents per dozen the
skim milk used for moistening the
mash had u feeding value of from ll2
to cents per quart. In these trials
SO2 quarts of skim milk were fed, re-
sulting in an increase in the egg pro
duction Of 702 eggs.

MINNESOTA'S EXPERIENCE

Carl l.. Wallace, chairman of the
Tax Committee of the Minnesota
house Of representatives, brings q tax
message to the people of Ohio. Mr..
Wallace had been in the forefront in
the campaign to secure the adoption
of constitutional amendment for
Minnesota, and, since its adoption,
has been leader in the work of en-
acting laws under the provisions of
the amendment
The amendment practically does for
Minnesota what the constitutional
amendment of 1903 land which was
defeated) proposed for Ohio-permits
the classification of property for tax
alton.
Mr.. Wallace says:
In 1857 Minnesota was about to come
into the Union and the wise men were
gathered together in a constitutional
convention; they looked around and
about them and they saw that the latest,
most approved, up-to-date constitution
was the one that had been adopted by
the state of Ohio in 1851, and they
reached out and gathered 1t in bodily.
Now. l can't say here that one good turn
deserves another, because ! don't think
Ohio did us a good turn in that instance;
but at any rate, we copied Ohio. and
now for gracious sake, Ohio. do turn
around and copy Minnesota by amending
your constitution on the subject OF taxa.

the corporation. 1t must be equally clear
to us that the soundness or unsoundness
of the system Of providing for the re-
ceipts and expenditures for state Is
equally important to the growth and
proper development Of any subdivision
of a state.
Every state in the Union is hard at
work on tax problems, and Ohio must
soon witness a universal uprising against
a system, conceded by public writer's and
statesmen sv vsrywhere, to be as bad as
the worst.
We have i'm force in Ohio tax system
which is but a relic Of the day when the
world was agricultural. The General
Property Tax was the first development,
and at first served fairly well the de-
mands of the time. But history shows
that the General Property Tax decayed.
The whole world met the difficulties and
the system has been practically abol-
ished in other countries as being in no
way adequate to our present compli-
Gated conditions. The United States iS
the only great nation that is today hold
ing out against the WARNINGS OF history,
but the day is slowly arriving when ~e
shall reconstruct our system When that
time comes We shall take care to guard,
as far as possible consistent with equity,
the principles outlined in this paper,
which are as unalterable as the rising
sun There can be no doubt of the dis
astrous effects on the progress and pros
perity of our whole state of our present
system of tax laws. Who among u.s.
does not know that hundreds of millions
of capital have been taken away from
Ohio on account of oppressive tax laws?
Who is there who is not ready to believe
that as much more capital has been pre-
vented from locating here? What induce
ment is there for, capitalists to come here
where they must Immediately begin a
system of perjury and evasion in order
to secure what their conscience tells
them is but Just? Plenty Of capital
means increased prosperity; loss of capt.
great many men get along as best they
can but as many more make their home
elsewhere who might otherwise be with
us our tax laws are not adequate In
that they repel instead Of attract cap

Tax laws should be framed with the
end in view to attro"t cqnitll. The in
terest of all classes throughout the state
is the same. The prosperity Of the city

Grit makes gritty hens. Gritty hens

FEEDING LIVE STOCK.

Handling Cattle.
l have had considerable experience
feeding cattle, although | am now re-
tired from the farm. | have a special
preference for the Shorthorn breed
and like to have them range about two
years old, averaging about thousand
pounds each when put on feed. l think
the best time TO buy stock cattle for
feeding Is February. As soon as posi-
BILE l turn them on blue grass In the
spring and begin feeding them green
corn in August. 1t should be noted
that | feed them largely In summer
months ON grass. At the same time
good covered yards are provided In
which they can seek shelter | have
very large shed on the north, horse
barns on the west, large sheep and hay
barns ON the east and south.
In my experience have had no trOu-
BILE in caring for fifty head Of cattle In
. space of hundred feet square.
have depended largely upon clover hay
and corn fodder. l usually feed about
8 O'Clock in the morning and 4 O'Clock
In the afternoon. | have had good re-
suits feeding Oilmeal in connection
with roughage. My cattle always had
q free lick of salt and were watered
from a ten barrel tank, which Is COW
cred to prevent freezing. The water Is
pumped by windmill. usually sell
and round out my cattle in April.
AS rule, have two hogs follow
each steer. find this is not only prof
itable, but desirable. | would rather
have plenty of hogs, because nothing Is
lost when they are following the cat
tie. l have fed cattle for the past
twenty years and have had much ex-
perience feeding lambs. have had as
many as a thousand head Of sheep In
closed in a barn in season. ! believe
cattle, sheep and swine are profitable,
because l always have plenty Of ma

Chicken Chatter.

Increase the profits by decreasing the
number of old hens.
Well managed poultry is preferable
to farm crops in that poultry will pro-
duce an income at all times OF the
year.
DO not despise we'll bred poultry. No
territory has ever been noted for its
poultry products unless we'll bred
fowls were the rule.
Get rid Of some of the many rOoSterS
that are now worrying the hens to no
good purpose. They are deadheads
and eat UP the profit of the flock.
By raising standard bred poultry one
will be able to sell stock and eggs for
breeding purposes and get much better
prices than when selling eggs and
fowls for food only.
Hunt up private customers and agree
70 sell them strictly fresh eggs; then
do it. A good price should be secured,
and the payment will be made in cash
instead of groceries.

PraNentinu Cholera.

The entrance of disease producing
germs from outside sources should be
carefully guarded against, especially If
hog cholera Is present in the nelghbor-
hood. The danger of carrying the
germs in the mud and filth that may
stick to the shoes Of person who has
walked through yards where hogs are
dying of cholera" should be recog-
nized. Dogs, horses, cattle, stray hogs
and wagons may also act as carriers of
disease. The opportunity for crows,
buzzards and dogs to distribute dis
ease Is not great in sections Of the
country where the carcasses Of the
dead hogs are disposed of by burylng.
Hogs from other herds should be
placed in quarantine for three weeks
before allowing them to mix with the
herd.-R. A. Craig, Purdue University
Experiment Station.

If any one chooses to have his liv-
ing room and his dining room in one,
he has only to make up his mind to 1t
and then look about to see how it may
be done without first showing elegance
and comfort to the door
The only absolute requisites for such
an arrangement are large room and
proximity to the kitchen. There must
be room enough to leave the field clear
for setting the table, and this there
never will be if there is room for only
one table, which must serve the family
for all It's needs.
Such Is the unconscious perVersity of
human nature that 50 sure as there Is
but one table the children will get
their books or their toys on 1t or the
husband will get out his writing or
spread out map for reference as near
as possible to the dinner hour.
The best plan probably is to have
either table reserved exclusively for
eating from or else table that is
only table while it is wanted.
In one house is table twelve feet,
perhaps fifteen feet, long. And this
offers spacious field for all house
hold forces. 1t is modelled after the
JacObean design. The cloth often is
laid at one end Of it and dinner served
without oDliging those who have been
working along its generous length to
strike their tents and retreat with bag
and baggage or soup and scuppage.
This, however, scarcely might be
good thing to do as an everyday thing.
One advantage in having Il dining
room separate from the living room Is
that the household gets variety and
unbends from the too stiff stretched
cord of daily work. But in this par
ticular instance the big room in which
the table stood was little used during
the day and only at night became the
great center of the family gathering.
Certainly 1t was a pleasant rallying
ground and the scene of much hos
pitable intercourse and cheer.-Wash.

Beans For Poultry.

1t is an accepted fact throughout
many sections of the country that
poultry will not eat beans. Many Of
the New York farmers state that it IS
utterly useless to try to teach poultry
to eat beans Of any kind unless they
are broken into small pieces or cooked,
as is often done for the hogs. Nothing
could be better for poultry than beans
IL they can be induced to eat them. We
are somewhat surprised, says the
Feather, to notice that western writ
er states that poultry in his locality
Is largely fed upon dry beans.

THE VETERINARY

To treat horse with facial paraly-
sis take one ounce of Russian cantha-
rides and three ounces Of hogs lard.
Mix and boil and apply with the hand
ON the cheek next to the ear. Repeat
this every ten days for three or four
times.
For Lump on Jaw.
The veterinary of the American Agri-
culturist gives Pennsylvania breeder
the following prescription for year
ling heifer that has lump on its low
er jaw: Mix two drains Of biniodide Of
mercury with two ounces Of lard. Rub
ON a little every second week and con-
tinue it for several months If needed.
For Dry Murrain.
Dry murrain is u form of indigestion
and Is attributable to several causes,
such as dry feeding, dry grass In sum
mer, Overdrlvlng, red water, etc. We
find this to occur often twice year,
in the spring and In the fall. The fol-
lowing Is recommended: One pound Of
epson Salts one-half pound of common
salt, one ounce of ginger, one ounce Of
jalap, one pound of molasses and one
quart of water.
Worms In Horses.
Very often we find worms In horses,
and when such are present the animal
becomes very emaciated. A tonic or
condition powder Is good. For In
stance, half n dram of sulphate of iron,
two drains Of powdered gentian, to be
given fasting every morning for
week. Common salt is also good, and
1t would be well, too, for rock salt to
be placed about. Cattle should never
be without salt. Lining and sailing
are Indispensable to farming. Such
obviates the presence of t1uke and
these little wretched mites-the red
worms.
Hoose In Young Cattle.
In the fall what is known as hoose,
or husk, Is commonly found to attack
young cattle. The principal symptom
is coughing. This Is caused by little
worms getting in the throats Of the
animals, gathering in the windpipe,
and hence the coughing. Cattle thus
affected are generally found on damp
lowlands. Such lands should be well
salted and lined and thoroughly drain
ed and reclaimed where it Is possible.
Such cattle, by their coughing up these
little worms on the grass, help to
spread the disease. The best remedy
to give the cattle thus affected is first
to dose them with turpentine and lin
seed OIL Fumigatlon can be very ef-
fectually carried out by collecting all
the diseased calves into a shed, which
should be light, and then get quanti-
ty of burning Goals into the shed and
throw some flowers of sulphur on the
Goals, thus raising strong fumes of the
sulphur. Continue to fumigate until
the calves cough strongly.-W. r. Gil
bert in Farm and Firesids.

Don't Crowd the Chicks.

Not more than fifty chicks should be
put together in one brooder, and In two
weeks these should be divided into two
lots of twenty-five each. Where too
many chicks are put together they are
very liable to crowd and those in the
center become overheated and when
exposed to the air become chilled, and
bowel trouble and various other dis
eases set in and the chicks die very
rapidly from no apparent cause.
