The several conditions preceding,
during or following any experiment
must result in pain or agony. Aui-
mails are very intelligent and have an
almost human comprehension as to
what is about to happen. So much
so is this the case that in many we'll
known and recorded instances on the
continent they have died of sheer ter
ror ere any experiment could be made
upon them. Their condition in ad.
vance must be one of agonizing appre.
hension. Securing them in the merci-

them motiopless is another cruelty.
That done, the cutting or dissecting,
frequently without any anaesthetic,
constitutes living torture, lasting for

The most level-headed practical poul-
trymen who want strong, rugged stock
that will produce good fertile eggs and
strong chicks, insist upon ten square
feet Of house room per fowl. With a
small flock of ten or fifteen birds this
is more essential than where fifty or
more hens are kept together in one
flock, for the reason that with the
larger flock each hen has access to the
entire floor space even though her in
dividual share is no greater than in the
smaller flock. Also, breeding fowls
need more house room for fertile eggs
than hens that are kept merely to pro-
duce a large number Of eggs, regard
less of their ability to hatch well. More
hens can profitably be kept in certain
size during the summer time than
during the winter, for reasons that are
obvious. For all-the-year-round work
a house 10x10 feet should contain no
more than nine or ten hens and roos-
ter. Hens kept for eggs alone and
with no male bird in the flock, can
safely be housed in focks of fifty or
more at the rate of five square feet
of floor space to each bird.-Epitomist

PROTECTING from Mice,

A writer in Farmers Review says Of
trees liable to damage by mice and
rabbits: "They are liable to damage
till the bark gets very thick and rough,
and even then the trees are not safe
II the ground is covered thickly with
snow and the food for rodents scarce.
AS to the varieties of trees most at
tackled, l place them in the following
order: Pear, plum, peach, apple. Per-
haps the apple should come before the
peach.
Various methods of protecting trees
are used by the farmers in this local
ity-wire, lath, paper and veneer. Some
use axle grease, crude kerosene and
soap. The wire, lath, veneer and pa
per are safe If properly used"

Economy in Haulinu.

When hauling load it is better to
have the horses draw as much as they
can, making the road the maximum in
weight as the horses have travelled the
distance whether the load is small or
large and it is the time lost in travel
ing that makes hauling expensive. If
the roads are good, heavy loads can be
carried. If not, then two trips must be
made and smaller loads carried. Let
any farmer estimate how much he
loses as the difference in large and
small loads and loss of time in the
mud and he will make less objection
to road tax in future.-Epitomist.

How to Milk a Cow.

Several years ago, the Wisconsin
Farmers Institute issued bulletin on
dairying in which was given some prac-
tical suggestions in the management of
milk cows by the ordinary farmer who
does not make a speciality of dairying.
Following is the substance of the bull
letin which even professional dairy
men will recognize as important for
the attainment Of the best results.
Cows should always be confined in
the stable to be milked To get clean
milk the stable should be kept clean at
all times, the walls and posts should
be often whitewashed and land plaster
should be used as an absorbent.
Before commencing to milk, brush
all loose dirt from the sides and udder
of the COW. After little manipulation
of the teats and udder the milk is
ready to come down" and should be
taken without delay. Milk as rapidly
as possible without irritating or worry
ing the COW. No definite rule can be
given as to how the teats should be
handled in milking, as both cows and
hands differ so much; but the milker
should strive to please the COW, which
careful, observant person can easily
do. There should always be a friendly
feeling between the COW and the milk
er, and mixers should not be changed
If it can be avoided. A COW will not
give down her milk to a person she
hates or is afraid of and what she does
give will be deficient in butter fat.
Always milk cow In the same man.
ner, advises the Agricultural Epitom-
list, at about the same time and speed.
Any change will irritate and tend to
excite her. Always milk in the same
order and at the same time Of day.
When it comes cows turn to be
milked, she knows it, expects it and
wants to be milked. If you disappoint
her and milk half an hour later the
chances are that you will get less and
poorer milk than if you had milked
at the proper time. Always milk the
COW dry before leaving her, but do not
continue stripping after the milk is all
drawn. If at each milking, part of
the milk is left in the udder, nature,
will stop providing it, because it is not
taken. The last milk drawn from the
cow is much richer than the first.
The last quart usually contains more
than three times as much butter fat
as the first.

Farm Notes.

1t is not a bad idea to let horses
know that a whip is on hand, but its
frequent use is undesirable.
We hear a deal about horses hav-
ing this or that saddle gait, while for
ordinary purposes fast walk has more
value.
Horses should be taught to move
off promptly when told to do it, and
should work with their companions
when forming part of team.
Musty or dusty hay is undesirable
always; and if horse has the heaves,
it should be sprinkled enough to lay
the dust 1t would be better still to
feed better hay.
A good driver is worth as much as
good horse when it comes to pull
ing load, and a good driver is one
who keeps his horses under control
and does not worry them by jerking
on the lines.
A driver should have the confidence
of his team. When he does, the work
stock will pull every time they are
told to do it. Fool drivers are often
the cause of balky horses; and when
,he balky habit is once formed, 1t
takes a good driver and patience to
overcome it.
A few years ago we we're told that
the bicycle and the electric car would
reduce the price of horses, but it was
wrong. Later we have been told that
the automobile would reduce their
price, but none of us have been able
to notice the reduction. Good horses
will always be in demand.-From

Nitroaen for Soil.

While nitrogen is the fertilizing ele-
nSnt most easily lost from manures
and soils, it is the most expensive,
costing about three times as much per
pound as potash and phosphoric acid.
The readiness with which nitrates are
washed out of the soil during heavy
rains when the ground is thawed, sug-
gests that during the period of such
rains, it should be covered with some
catch crop, which will feed upon the
nitrates formed and store nitrogen in
its tissues. -
For this purpose rye is an excellent
crop, and Is much used. While it adds
no nitrogen to the soil, which is not
always found therein, as crimson clov-
er does, it is much surer catch than
the former, and is thoroughly hardy.
1t forms quite root system during
the fall, starts off early in the spring,
and by ordinary planting time forms a
heavy coat of manure to be plowed
under. One Office which rye performs
is to absorb great quantities, while the
ground is reeking with moisture in the
early spring. so that when it is turn
ed down in the furrow it carries under
with it tons Of water per acre, and
holds 1t in such shape that it will not
be readily evaporated.-American Cul-

FEEDING Hoqs.

1t is difficult to convince farmers that
more money can be made from a hog
fed On variety of food, having fair
proportion of lean meat, than a large
and excessively fat one. A hog weigh
ing l50 pounds and selling for seven
cents pound will bring S1O5O, while
a 200 pound hog will seldom bring more
than five cents per pound, or $40. Of
course much depends on the quality of
the small hog, but the saving is in the
cost, as the smaller hog can be pro-
duced on less food and labor and also
gotten into market sooner.-Epitomist
