of fashion in quest of new sensations

the garb of monks and crusaders. The

The total number of deaths reported
from all forms of tuberculosis for the
year 1907 was, 1850, an increase of
LBS over the number reported for
1906. When the allowance is made for
the increase in population, however,
the death rate declined slightly, fall
ing from 1912 per 100000 in 1906 to
1885 in 1907.

In climates in which the ground
freezes to the depth of several inches
fences can be built to advantage in
midwinter. Set the posts and anchors
and allow them to become solidly
frozen and the posts in rigid position
stretch the wire fencing and staple
every wire to every post. Some fence
builders staple only two or three of
the horizontal wires to each post. but
such is poor economy of time and ma
terial. The cost of a few pounds of
extra staples and an hour or two of
work in a forty rod fence will save
many dollars and days of work in tine
end.
By stretching the wire fencing when
the posts are immoyable in the ground
no portion Of the wire can pull post
out of position. BY the time the
ground thaws out and becomes soft the
wire will have settled in position and
each post will be bearing an equal
strain.
If the string of fence is very long
more than forty rods-it is well TO
brace one or more intermediate posts.
This Will prevent the fence from Civ
ing and becoming loose Wien it is put
under heavy strain by persons climb
ing over it or animals pressing against
it. A woven wire fence is good il it
can be kept tight all the time; if not,
it is nearly worthless.

Where to Place the Incubator.


AS to the location of the incubator.
Do not place it in room where it
will be between two windows where
draft is likely to blow across it. The
machine should not be located where
the sun can fall across it or strike the
floor too close to it.
The effect of the sun upon the ma
chine is rather peculiar, and while the
temperature in the room may not seem
to rise. the sun will cause the egg
chamber to heat more rapidly than
might be supposed, thereby interfer-
| ing with the adjustments of the regu-
| lator.
Do not locate the machine in north
or west room, unless it is impossible
to find another place. A south or east
room is far more satisfactory.
The incubator should be where there
| is fire all the time or it should be in
Il room where there is no fire at all.
| IT the machine is placed in room
| where there is no fire it should be
borne in mind that the eggs can not
be cooled in Il temperature lower than
so degrees for any length of time with
out chilling the eggs. The eggs should
| be wrapped between the folds OF a
blanket and carried into an adjoining
| room where there is a fire.
The operator should use every posi-
| BILE care in keeping the lamp bowl and
| lamp burner scrupulously clean and
| free from oil or any other foreign set
things. If this is not done the heat of
the burner will naturally generate
some gas, and if this be thrown off in
the room it is sure to be gathered back
| into the incubator, and as it flows
through the egg chamber, may cause
a great deal of damage.
The air in the room must be abso-
lutely sweet and fresh. Be very care
full to see that the incubator sets per-
fectly level, but do not attempt to level
it by water bottle, pan of water or
| anything except carpenters spirit
level.
Be sure to set the machine true in
the front and back and across each
| end, as this will insure a perfect cir
| culation of air through the tanks as
well as through the egg chamber,
which will play good part in produc-
ing strong, healthy chickens.

At one year old, baby should weigh
twenty and one-half pounds.
If healthy, the gain should be just
six pounds the next year.
At three the weight should be thirty
one pounds, and at four years thirty
five pounds
The normal baby will weigh forty
one pounds at FIVE. and fortyfve
pounds at the age of six years.
During the next four years-up to
ten--the weight should be forty-nine

Modern Uses of Corn.

People often wonder. particularly
those who have Travelled for hundreds
of miles through the corn belt, what
becomes of corn which is grown every
year. In the year 1908, when the total
crop was 2,666, 100000 bushels, 241,-
100000 bushels were consumed in flour
and grist-mill products. 100000
bushels in the manufacture of starch.
100000 for malt liquors, 100000
bushels in the production of distilled
liquors, 100000 for glucose, $780,
100000 for export and 13OO0,0O0 for
seed making a total of 51S.000.000
bushels or 1913 per cent of the entire
crop. The remaining S0.7 per cent
or 2,14S,O00,000 bcshels, seems to have
been almost entirely for feeding pur
poses. 1t is an interesting fact that
about so per cent of the corn crop
roughly the above amount, was shipped
out of the counties in which it was
grown.-Corn Reporter.

A ration made of corn, shorts and
tankage makes an ideal ration. The
proportion should be five parts of corn,
five parts shorts, and one part tankage.
A hen can stand considerable cold,
but will quickly succumb to drafts. To
keep her comfortable she must be made
to exercise and this is best done by
keeping the floor of the scratching shed
or the regular pen heartily Uttered and
grain thrown among it.
