How to Select Poultry.

In selecting poultry, the age of the
bird is the most important question.
In selecting turkey, remember that
young bird has smooth, shiny
black legs, while those of an old bird
are rough and reddish. If the bird
has been freshly killed, the eyes are
full and bright and the feet moist.
The combs and legs of chicken
are smooth in young fowl and
rough in an old one.
When selecting geese, see that the
bills and feet are yellow and have
few hairs on them. If freshly killed
the feet should be pliable, for after
they have been killed some time they
are dry and smooth.
Ducks are chosen by their feet,
which should be supple. Wild ducks
have reddish feet, while those of the
tame ducks are yellow. A fresh duck
should have a plump, hard breast.
Tame pigeons are larger than wild
ones and the feet show the age of
the bird. They are supple IL the
bird is young, and stiff ii it is old.
Pigeons are only good to eat when
they are fresh. When they have
been kept too long they become fab
by and discolored about the under
part. Florida Agriculturist.

God Revealed in christ-(John I. 14)
Passages for Rerefence--Johr
IA. 9, 10; Tim. 1. IL;
John 1. 1.3.

Revelation tells us that ''the testi
mony of Jesus is the spirit of proph
ecy." The Bible tells us of God,
but points by prophecy and symbol to
Jesus as the One through whom G&d
reveals himself to the world. The
statements of the facts in this line
are found in the Word. John /. IA
tells us that the Word which "waa
with God and was Cod was "made
flesh and dwelt among u.s." and in
him they "beheld the glory as of the
only-begotten of the Father" Again
the First Epistle of John speaks OF
what they beheld as eyewitnesses,
which visions brought them into fel
lowshlp with both Christ and the
Father. Jesus said, "He that hath
seen me hath seen the Father; and
how sayest thou then, Show us the
Father?" In Heb. l. 3, Jesus Is
spoken of In his relation to the
Father as "being the brightness of his
glory, and the express image of his
person" In Second Corinthians,
fourth chapter, Paul says that Christ
is "the image of God" and that
"God, who commanded the light to
shine out of darkness. hath shined in
our hearts, to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the
face of Jesus Christ" sin the face
of Jesus Christ we see God, and that
Is the place where we get the truest
conception of what he is.
The names used in the Bible are
significant of the character Of those
to whom they are applied. He shall
be called Jesus. for he shall save his
people from their sins" In like
manner he is called ''the Word"
What Is a word? 1t Is medium Of
communicat on by which one person
conveys his thoughts to another. So
Christ Is the word by which God tells
his thoughts to the world. Jesus
conveys to us Gods thoughts toward
us and about us: about us, that we
are in a helpless condition, doomed
to the consequences of sin; toward
us, that he $50 loved us as to give
his only-begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth on him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.' In him
we see Gods hollness-opposed to
sin; and his mpassion-providing a
way of escape from sin. Jesus Is
Gods best word to mankind.

Milk Kept Seven Mee;ss.

A new process for keeping milk n
long time is announced by German
scientists. The milk is first treated
with peroxide of hydrogen, which
kills the germs, but imparts a pecul-
lar taste to the milk. Then to each
quart of milk is added few drops Of
the ferment obtained from beef liver
from which the beef has been ex-
pressed. This substance, it Is
claimed, destroys tie unpleasant
taste given to the milk by the per-
oxide of hydrogen. At first thought
this new plan does not seem to be
adopted on a large scale, and the
discoverers admit that 1t increases
the cost of the milk four or FIVE
cents per quart, so that 1t would not
be practical to use except where fresh
milk could not be obtained regularly.
1t is claimed that the milk so treated
was successfully kept for seven
weeks.-Boston Cultlvator.

have been feeding hogs for a
number of years and have had almost
no losses, while all around me So
called cholera has devastated one
herd after another. Here are a few
of the things l did and did not do.
which 1 believe kept my herds from
disease:
Do not feed an extreme green corn
diet.
Do not crowd the young stock un-
naturally.
Keep clear water before them all
the time.
Keep the sleeping quarters clean
and dry
Have good shade during the warm
weather.
Give the hogs salt and ashes, cs-
peclally hard coal ashes, and an oc-
casional dose of copperas and sui
phur in the slop. Be particularly
careful about this with the hogs that
are in the feeding pens.
Keep the hogs and their yard in a
sanitary condition and watch the
herd carefully in order that no dis.
ease may get a start.
All these points should be kept in
mind, for they are the only effective
insurance against cholera and kin
died diseases.-J. p. Fletcher, in The

Mighty Interesting Reading.

President Roosevelt is better
hunter now than he was some twen-
ty years ago, when he first went look
ing for deer in Maine under the guild
ance Of "Bill' Sewail. On that occa-
sion he and his guide camped at a
place where deer were abundant.
Just before dusk Sewall placed him
at corner where he could watch the
runways when you see the deer
you let drive said the guide. In a
few minutes fine buck came trot-
ting toward the ambush. Unable to
restrain his Joy young Roosevelt
turned and whispered: "Do you
know, this 10 the first deer | have
ever shot" Then he turned TO "let
drive" but the buck, whose keen ears
caught the whisper, had jumped side
ways and disappeared. What Sewali
thought and what Roosevelt said for
che next five minutes would make
what Horace Greeley used to call
mighty interesting reading - sa.

Wasting Fertility.

In recent lecture on the wastes
of farm fertility, Professor Holden, in
very terse and striking way, showed
the Importance of feeding as much of
the farm products as possible to live
stock. He has made careful study
of the matter by analysis, and here
Is what ho said.
Every time farmer sells ton of
wheat he sells $11.62 in fertility; in
a ton of clover hay he sells $500 In
fertility; in a ton of alfalfa hay he
sells $500 OF fertility; in a ton OF
oats he sells S7.S1 in fertility, and in
ton of corn he sells s6.47 in fertil-
ity. II those products be fed on the
farm under proper conditions, and
the resulting manure be returned to
the soil, there is very slight less of
fertility. foT the following finished
products ma be sold instead:
In selling a ton of finished beer on
the hoof, the farmer sells but $5.37
in fertility in ton of live hogs he
sells but S3.7J in fertility; in ton
of milk he sells but $1.4S in fertility;
in ton of cheese he sells but sixty
nine cents in fertility, and in a ton
of butter he sells twenty-seven cents
in fertility. The best policy for the
family to adopt is that system of corn
and crop rotation which will embrace
not only the growing of grain. but the
breeding and feeding of stock, either
for sale in the form of beef or pork,
or for the production whether for

Treat COW well and she will do
well by you.
Milking with wet hands should be
avoided; it is not clean practice.
To make at least $40 clear out of
your COW, you must have at least S45
profit.
Milk that is cooled as soon as
drawn from the COW win keep much
longer
Fresh cream should not be added
to older cream until after 1t Is cooled
to fifty degrees.
Give a little fine bone meal in the
soft food of chicks that are subject
to weakness in the leg.
1t is not a good plan to feed grown
up fowls too much soft food; 1t tends
to make them dyspeptic.
With hens 1t is much better to keep
the appetite sharp, compelling them
to be active and search for food. /.
A dust bath almost every day is
necessary to the health and happi-
Less OF hen, and she should have It.
A chick that is continually chilled
seldom amounts to much, because vi

The greater the variety of food
given to poultry the better, but II
should be clean, wholesome, and such
as they relish.
With the early setting hens at least
food should be placed within theil

There are two ways OF feeding .

Of food at one time; the other is te

Buying Fertilizers.

Forehanded farmers and market
gardeners have already bought their
years supply of fertilizers. Any who
have not done so should buy at once.
AS soon as the plans for the years
work are fairly in hand, so that one
can estimate the amount of fertilizer
required, the order should be placed.
There are a good many advantages
in buying early. These advantages
are especially marked when one buys
raw chemicals and mixes his own
fertilizers. BY the way, this plan of
buying and mixing at home is now
well established in the best farm and
garden practice of the country. Any
man who pretends to keep his eyes
open and to know how to manage
agricultural affairs in the modern
way is certainly able to do his own
mixing; and the advantages of home
mixing of raw materials are very
great. The man who has not yet
adopted this practice had better look
1t up at once.-Country Gentleman.

Nursery Stock.

Many careful farmers an6 fruit
growers have adopted the plan of
ordering all nursery stock early in
the fap. Many of them insist on
fall delivery of stock, even when the
trees are not to be planted out until
spring. The majority of small plant
ers undoubtedly still prefer to set
trees In the spring. This seems to
be more natural time of the year.
While there are some disadvantages
in spring planting. it is in many ways
convenient, and on the whole IL is
safe. Nearly all small planters
therefore are now looking forward
and planning for trees which are to
be set this coming April. If those
trees have not already been ordered.
1t is a part of wisdom to make the
order at once. This gives the oppor-
tunity to say once more that nursery
trees should always be bought of
nurserymen, never of fruit-tree
agents. Reliable nurserymen who
grow trees are willing to sell them at
reasonable price, and what is more,
they are always willing to be held
responsible for their business rans-
actions. On the part OF the farmer
and gardener, 1t Is wise TO buy
nursery stock literally, always get
ting 1t from growers. 1t is wise also

Concrete in Farm Construction.

Among the uses for concrete emu
merated are foundations for houses,
barns and windmills, sidewalks, fence
posts, water troughs, cisterns, tanks,
and cesspools, floors for house and
stable, stairs, we'll curbs, stalls, hog
pens, chicken houses, corncribs, ice
houses, incubator cellars, mushroom
cellars, hotbed frames, bridge abut-
ments, chimneys, ventilators and
hitching posts. In estimating on cost
of concrete sufficient broken stone
should be provided to fill the whole
volume under estimate, since the ce-
ment and sand merely fill the voids
in the broken stone. By calcula-
tion of the cost of concrete posts it
is found that posts can be made for
fourteen cents each. This low cost
would be possible only when large
numbers of posts are made.-The e

AN OLD CUSTOM.
New Orleans to Lose the Habit of
Lagnappe For the Children.


If things are going to continue
their present trend, New Orleans will
soon be a city just like any other one
in this country-a sort of connecting
link between San Francisco and
Philadelphia, one might say. Already
the Crescent City has installed sew
ers. The other day we told of the
probable passing of its characteristic
sidewalk galleries. But these two
blows to its distinctiveness appear
mild and Insignificant when COM
pared with the one administered
since then.
BY agreement among all the retail
dealers of the city, the time-honored
institution of "lagnappe"-or "lagni-
appe," as most of the local papers
spell it-has been abolished from the
beginning of the New Year. The
man does not live that remembers
when sale was made IN the former
capital of the colony of Louisiana
without "lagnappe" thrown in. The
word means something given on the
side, as a gratis allowance to the GUS
toner. 1t springs from the word
"napa" pronounced "nyah-pah", a
Spanish-Americanism, meaning "to
boot"
1.-THE pleasant institution of napa
the petty gratuity added by the
retailer to anything bought-grew
the pleasanter, drawn out into Gal
licized lagnappe," says George w.
Cable, in his "The Creoles of Louis
lana"
No matter how small the purchase,
something had to be added ''for lag
nappe." Generally, this something
vas small delicacy-a piece of
candy, for instance. Increasing COM
petition and never-decreasing greed
made the shopkeepers devise all sorts
of schemes for keeping up the custom
with the smallest possible cost.
The children, who have been eager
to run errands in the past Just for
the sake of the reward found in
"lagnappe," suffered from this de-
terioration of the custom to such an
extent that the Board of Health
finally had to interfere. And 1t was
at the instance of the authorities that
the retail dealers at last decided to
take the revolutionary step of abol-
lshing "lagnappe" entirely. Com
plants have already been heard from
numerous mothers that, hereafter, II
will be very hard to get the children
20 do the errand running. But that
the change is for the better, no SEN
sible person will be likely to doubt.
The custom thus wiped out was pc
culiar to New Orleans only through
Its particular form and by reason OF
the firmness with which 1t was es-
tablished as an undeniable right

The Demand For Good Horses.

The increasing demand for good
draft horses has awakened fresh in
terest among breeders who have good
dams. The Drovers' Journal in re-
ferring to the increasing demands in
the Chicago markets says a survey of
the horse conditions present an in
viting field for intelligent breeders.
Demand for all classes of horses for
industrial and commercial use was
never so broad or prices so remu-
nerative. The fact that farmers have
been slow to grasp the situation finds
the supply hardly adequate to meet
the increasing demand. The out
look justifies continued high prices
until the surplus assumes proper
tions to resume expectation of horses
in large volume again. The supply
can only be increased by enlarging
breeding operations, which, under
the most favorable regime, will re-
quire half decade to produce a
reasonably large surplus. The fact
that the supply of horses is short
should not lead to haphazard breed
ing. Profits in the horse industry
will depend on the quality of the
horses produced. The best mares
should be selected for the harem and
the choicest stations of all breeds of
horses patronized. The stream can
not rise above the fountain and the
progeny of sire and dam will inherit
the characteristics of their ancestors.
The opportunity for large profits in
the horse industry was never more
promising to the careful breeder that
will produce good commercial offer
ings of all classes.
