An Unfortunate Paraphrase.

Gen. Sheridan used to take delight,
IN telling the following:
"a young man seated at dinner
one time said to his wife:

the devil should lose his tail where
would he go to get another one?'
After some time spent in guess

"4Well,' said he, where they re-

Eager to get it of, she fastened
to a lady friend with:
oh, Marian, / have such a nice
cotlundrum. Joe just told me of 1t. I
know you can't guess it. If the devil
should lose his tail, where would he
go to get another one?"

POULTRY HOUSES.

w. s. Jacobs In bulletin from the
Arkansas station, gives the following
directions for the building of poul
| try houses:
Every hen should be allowed SIX
square feet of floor space. Each
bird Of the Plymouth Rock, Wyan:
dotte and other general purpose
breeds requires about nine inches OF
| perch room. Leghorns, Minorcas,
Spanish. etc, about eight inches.
Brahma and Langshans. ten inches.
Roosts should be made low or near
the ground-not higher than two
feet There are several reasons for
this. Fowls of the heavier breed
cannot fly high, and those of the
lighter breeds frequently injure the
so!es Of their feet in jumping from
high perches. Roosts should be
made all of the same height For,
II they are made some higher than
the others, the birds will all flock
to the highest ones and crowd, which
is undesirable.
When dropping boards are used,
they should be low down, to permit
Of easy cleaning. They should be
made of matched lumber and shouLl
by twenty inches wide for one perch,
and three feet wide for two perches.
The first perch placed at least ten
inches from the wall. A good roost
may be made from material 2x2
inches, then slightly rounded on the
edges.
Many use old boxes for nests, but
If near the ground are liable to in
duce egg eating To prevent this

made from twelve to fifteen inches
square. Dirt floors are, as rule.
more satisfactory and much cheaper
than board floors, and have the ad
ditional advantage of not providing
a hiding place for rats, weasels, etc. |
The floor should be at least six inches /!
above the surrounding ground. This |
can be accomplished by filling In with |
land and gravel. From time to time

SHEEP AND BAD DOGS.

oI1IEAE AMI DAD DIUJS.
{. The Shepherds Journal says: Bal
dogs like bad men are one of TIT.
w2aIdss unfortunate burdens which
seem to thrive In spite Of all the
world being against them. A sheep
killing dog is very bad dog,
greater curse than a sheep-stealing
man. because the latter takes only
what he can !. conveniently utilize
for. present wants, while the former
wolf-lfke, kills and mains for gore.
Dogs, like their owners come under
two categories-the useful and thu
useless. 1t is, however, not SO often
the fault Of the dog that he is not
useful as it is that of his masters
training. The owner of a useless
cur is generally man Of Indifferent
Character and standing. A dog
trained for useful pursuits is usually
a good dog so long as he is kept at
work and under restraint. The ay-
erage dog is of a very active mind
and temperament and if he is not
studying good his, mind turns to evil
with the result that he becomes a
bad dog But the dog question.
like any other question, should
not be debated as one-sided
issue. Because the useless cur !
mains ones flock. that is no inst
reason why the whole canine family
should be condemned any more |

It usually does not pay to doctor
sick fowls unless they are valuable
breeders or show birds. Always re-
move sick fowl from the main flock
as soon as the earliest symptom of
illness is noticed.
Secretary Hall, of the New York
State Dairymen's Association, says
he believes that the sanitary milk
question has been carried too far.
He thinks that milk reasonably cfean

In alfalfa regions brood sows arc
fed exclusively on alfalfa hay in
winter and alfalfa pasture in sum-
mer time. Very little grain, or none
whatever, is fed AS result the
sows are always strong, vigorous and
healthy.
Glover hay cut fine, cooked and
stepped in boiling water, makes an
excellent change of food for brood
sows, or for cows that have recently
calved. 1t is also excellent for young
stock Of all kinds; If slightly sea-
soned with salt and small guam

HYDROCYANIC ACID IN PLANTS
One Of the most remarkable de
Velopments of modern agricultural
science is the bringing to light of the
fact that hydroeyanic acid is com.
| mon In many of our economic plants
Hydrocyanic acid is one of the dead
lest poisons.
1t used to be supposed that GER
tain plants were always poisonous
and other plants always safe to use.
But agricultural Investigators haya
shown that this is not the case. Some
of the safest of them, so-regarded
may become very deadly at times.
This is because the poison is moe
abundant at times than at others.
Thus sorghum is a very healthful
plant to feed to cattle at most times.
but there are times when the amount
of poison In 1t is very great. This
is when it is growing rapidly and
while it Is young and tender. Hun
dreds of farm animals were killed
by the acid before the Nebraskan
station finally worked out the pro-
cesses by which the poison became
menace.
It is noWAbelieved that hydrocyanic
acid is in most plants and has some
thing to do with the growth processes,
disappearing when the growth pro-
cesses have been completed. In these
plants it may be brought out again
by fermentation, as in the case of fer
mented lima beans, tapioca and 9TH
er food products that contain at
some stages large quantities OF Prus-
sic acid. Sorghum silage may pos
sibiy contain this acid sometimes in
dangerous neutrality-suspicious..

TONS OF BEET SUGAR.
We Make Half Million Every YEA
In This Country.


In This Country.
One of the most important OF the
industries developed, in recent years
is the production of sugar from sugar
beets. More or less .desultory work
was done on sugar beets as far
back as 1867. In 1892 only six fac
tories were in operation in this coun'
try. the combined output of which
was a little over 27,O00,000 pounds OF
sugar.
According to the National Maya
zine, there are now no less than SIX
ty-four factories in operation, with
combined output Of approximately
100000 short tons Of sugar manu-
featured from beets, with a factory
value of 100000.
One most important factor has
been the production of high grade
sugar beet seed. For many years
American growers have been depend
ent almost exclusively on foreign
countries for our sugar beet seed, but
for three or four years past the De
partment of Agriculture has been en-
couraging the successful growth OF
sugar beet seed in this .cauntry. It
has shown that the seed can be great
ly improved by breeding, tests OF
beets from American grown seed run
ming as high as II. Is and sometimes
20 per cent. sugar.
