Meat 4. Necessary for Fowls.


The majority of early cockerels are
sold on the market for broilerS or
fries" 1t is thus important that they
reach the marketable age as early as
possible to make room for later
matches. and the pullets of their own
age kept for early layers. To make the
best and quickest gain meat in some
form is essential.
To demonstrate how necessary this
animal matter is to The health of the
fowls the New York State Experiment
Station made a number Of experiments.
Two lots of chickens and ducks as
nearly alike as possible. were used in
the experiments. One lot in each case
was fed a ration of mixed grain with
animal meal and fresh bones or dried
blood. In the one ration two-fifths to
one-half of the protein came from ami
NAL sources, while in the other it all
came from vegetable sources.
Starting with chicks one-half week
old, the chicks fed on animal meal
gained 80 per cent more than those on
the vegetable diet, although they ate
only SO per cent more; they required
half pound less of dry matter to gain
one pound, and each pound of gain
cost but AZ cents. as compared with
. 10 cents for the granted birds
The animal meal chicks reached two
pounds in weight (the frying size)
more than five weeks before the others,
and three pullets of the lot began lay
ing four weeks earlier than any among
the granted birds.
The experiments showed even more
striking benefits from the animal food
in the case of the ducks. many of the
ducks dying on the vegetable diet until
but twenty-five were left out of thirty
five at the close OF the fifteenth week
Of feeding. These. when fed the meat
ration. made rapid gains.

Under the Pure Food Laws baking
powder labels now show the ingredients
of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the importance
to health and good baking of using a
pure cream of tartar powder will read
the back of the label carefully and
make sure that the ingredients men-
toned include cream of tartar.
The food law does not force consum-
ers; 1t merely helps them to protect
themselves. All good housekeepers want
cream Of tartar baking powders, and
will not use alum substitutes in the
food, If they know it. As the ingre-
dents are printed on the back of the
label, all may know the facts.
Good baking powder is one Of the
most useful things in the kitchen; it is
easily obtained at any store; the better
it is, the more economical 1t is in cook
ing materials, and the more it con-
serves the health of the family.

Aaron Bancroft. the father of the

man who revolted against the Calvinism
of the day. The young minister found
himself held at arms length by the sur
rounding clergy. In 'The Life and
Letters of George Bancroft NJ. A.
Dew. Howe quotes the following item
from the old minister's Memoranda" ::
An honest but not very intelligent
farmer of my parish, some ten years
ago. accosted me in this manner:
well, Mr.. Bancroft, what do you
think the people of the old parish say
of you now?'

good"
They say, IF we find fault with
HIN he does not mind it at all /; and if
we praise him he does not mind it. but
keeps steadily on his own way: we
therefore have concluded that it is best
to let him alone"

in its bearings. it was the prettiest

Getting a profit out Of feed stuffs
depends upon the kind of cattle you
put it into. Figured to Il fine point,
says the farmer, isn't the proposition
of full-feeding cattle something like
this: If you have good steers, a good
profit will be made; if you have scrubs,
better save the corn and let some one
else try fattening the steers. The cat
tie market is in Il bad way when it
doesn't pay to feed good steers. One
cannot have good steers without keep
ing a good class of cows and an extra
good male. The finger of experience
points to pure breeds, or us nearly
pure bred as you can afford.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Careful Woodcuttino.

The quantity and quality of the
product from the farm wood lot can
be improved by simple methods easy
of application, says the American Cul-
tivator. II a growth Of young trees is
starting no stock should be allowed to
Craze In the wood lot. When cutting
is done care should be taken to thin
out the undesirable growth.
Instead Of selecting the best trees
and those which produce wood which
splits easily, the crooked, SCARED and
broken topped trees should be taken
and those which are crowding the good
trees or are overtopped by them. The
desirable growth cannot be taken all
at once, but should be removed in
several rather light Trimmings. Atten-
tton should be given not only to the
quality Of the trees left, but to their
ability to properly shade the ground
Open topped trees like birches and
poplars require lighter thinning than
beech and hard woods. 1t is simply
matter Of little good judgment in the
amount Of thinning.

The Rat and the Snake.

A traveller in the desert once saw a
number of rats cutting off branches
Of cacti with their sharp teeth and
then carrying the branches to the en-
trance of their hole.
In short time they had made a
complete circle of cactus branches
around the hole, and the only way to
get in was by jumping over the
branches.
Soon after the work had been finish
ed a rat came scampering up, looking
very much alarmed, and it and the
other rats all jumped over the cactus
branches and went into their hole.
The reason for their excitement was
soon seen, for In very little while a
snake came creeping up, intending to
enter the hole and secure rat for his
dinner. When it got to the cactus
branches, however, the snake stopped
The cactus spikes pricked. Mr.. Snake
could not get by at all, and so finally
he went away, leaving the rats laugh
ing at him and quite safe in their hole.

Rev. A. H. Tebbets Arraigns
Children's Home Management.

Sensational charges against the
management of the Children's Home
Society of Minnesota are contained in
printed circular issued, signed and
circulated, Saturday by Rev. A. II
Tebbets, for eight years business
manager of the society's home. Ac-
cording to an article in last Sundays
Pioneer Press. Rev. Tebbets was
formerly pastor of the Congregational
church here, and he has always found
liberal contributors to the Children's
Home among the people of Morris.
Averring that he severed his connec-
ton with that institution two weeks
ago because he could not conduct a
work (which was not consistent with
its profession of being Christian in
stitution," Mr.. Tebbets makes many
startling allegations regarding the in
side workings of the institution.

were mailed to persons in the Twin
Cities and the state at large, purports

Blind Mans Buff With Spoons.


A variation Of blind mans buff may
be played in this fashion: Get a light
ed candlestick, a handkerchief and
two tablespoons. Blindfold one Of the
party, give him the spoons, one in each
hand, and place him in the middle of
a large ring Of chairs on which the
rest Of the party are seated and tell
him that he must try to blow out the
light as it is passed quickly from hand
to hand by the others.
The blind man will find this a diff
fcult task to accomplish, and even
when he has done SO his troubles are
not over. He must then try to guess
who the person Is who was holding
the light when it was blown out. But
he is not allowed to feel the person,
as in ordinary blind mans buff; that
would be far too easy. He can only
feel with the spoons.
He feels the persons head to see II
he have long or short hair, and he
feels how the dress is trimmed and
tries to remember who is wearing
dress trimmed that way, and. he puts
the cold spoon down his neck, and
then the person says "Ouch" and the
blind man cries, "Why, it's Billyv' and
tears off the bandage. And then it is
Billy's turn to stand in the circle and
blow out the candle and try to guess
who is who with the help Of cold ia
blespoons.

1921 pounds Of milk containing
849.62 pounds of fat. The test was
made under the supervision Of the
Oregon experiment station.
Her average percentage Of fat for
the, year was 5.456, and the fat Is
equivalent to 900 pounds SO ounces of
butter and S5 per cent fat. Just think
Of it-15,572 pounds of milk in the
year, averaging 5.456 per cent fat! 1t
takes Jersey cow, and good one, to
exhibit such a combination. If we
should compute butter as was done in

volunteers to occupy while certain
charges are made against him.
One person, acting as president, then
goes round the room inquiring of each
player what charges he or she has to
make against the culprit, who is hum
bly, sitting on the stool of repentance.
All the accusations are whispered into
the presidents ear, who will do well,
if the party is large one, to be sup
piled with paper and pencil to write
down the accusations and the names
Of the accusers. All having made
their charges, the president says:

natured, of smiling when you should
look stern. Can you tell me the name

charge against your

charge he may wish to hear the rest,
