there is a greet deal of difference be

that the difference is generally in fav.
or OF America. For instance he says
the wages Of the average working.

cents a day, while an extra good
workman will probably get about ST..
Most OF the farm labor there is per.

HE VOL kmen there have d continual

Cattle and hogs sell from is to 16
cents per pound, and chickens ar.
worth from Is cents to 81, while beer
can beIbought for one and one half
cents a glass. The farms in that
country are very small, but they are
tar med so well that a very few acres
are made to yield quite an income for
the owner. Chris says that the aver.
age Kansas farmer waste as much
every year as is raised on the major.
lty OF farms there, but everything
they do raise is used to good advan.
tage, and nothing is wasted. On the
other hand Mr.. Ruhe thinks that

his intention Of establishing q whole

creamery business for a number of
years, has attended a number of
dairy schools, the last one being the
famous Ames Dairy School, of Ames.
Iowa, and has for the last two year S
been engaged in manufacturing ice

and thoroughly understands b e
business. He VII put in a line of
up-to.date machinery and the plant
will have a capacity of 26o gallons

large sums of money to Wichita and

INDlANA'S QUEER LAKE SYSTEM.
All Up in One County-The Original
Lonne of the Small Mouth Bass.

The group of lakes in the north
eastern corner of Indiana has merely
a local fame. but it is one OF the
oldest physical dispensations OF ma
ture anywhere in the Union, said a
native of Steuben county in the Hoos-
ier State. There are more than L.
O00 of those lakes huddled together
in the counties of Steuben, De kal5,
Lagrange, Noble and kosciusko, yet d
person might look on the map until
he was blind without discovering tn
fact, the lakes being too insignificant
from a geographical point of view to
be taken into account. in the col
lection Of general Typographical data.
In fact such is the isolation OF this
extraordinary group OF lakes tnat
even the average Indiana citizen Nv
ing outside the small area in which
the system is situated is barely
aware of it's existence.
The lakes are entirely separate
from the river system of the state
snd correspond in character | should
judge with that better known group
of lakes in the New York and ADA
Gent Pennsylvania counties or the
delaware Valley watershed, partlcu-
lally in Sullivan and Orange ana
Pike and Wayne counties. The charm
OF wild and mountain environment
that is characteristic of their eastern
c5unterparts is lacking in the lntl-
ana lakes. however, although they oc
Guby the highest situation IN the
State.
There are 312 of these lakes IN
Noble county alone. None CT them
except Sylvan Lake is more than lou
acres in area and there are among
them some of not more than ten
acres, but nowhere else in the state
is there lake of any size whatever
The largest of these waters is Syl-
van Lake, but its natural area was
charged by damming to make 1t a
supply reservoir in the days OF can
al navigation. 1t is five miles long
and one mile wide. These lakes are

to those taken from the Indiana

TO KEEP EGGS.

When eggs are only required to be
preserved for two or three months
they keep very well packed in dry
salt or bran. The meat of the egg
may shrink and rattle within the
shell when shaken, but its edibility is
not impaired. Coating the egg with
vaseline or butter will also keep it
for a short time or any application
which effectively seals the pores Of
the shell and excludes air will pro-
long the freshness of eggs. If the
egg is even momentariiy submerged
in boiling water, the albumen thereby
becomes sufficiently coagulated to
prevent the entrance Of air. In some
of the rural districts in England and
Scotland, eggs for home consumption
are smutted over with a mixture of
sulphur and lamp black, cheap and
effective ervative-Indiana Far

THE PEKI\ DUCK.

The Pekin duck is of Asiatic origin,
and was imported to this country
from China about thirty years ago.
Hudgens says a traveller who saw
them about the streets of Pekin mis-
took them for small white geese at
first, but upon finding that they were
ducks, was so greatly impressed with
their snow white plumage and noble
carriage that he secured some of their
eggs. They were brought to Hong
Kong and Matched, and in due time
the birds were shipped in vessel
bound for New York. A number of
the ducks died during the long sea
voyage, but from the rest has sprung
this popular breed that is now met
with in nearly every State of the
Union.

NOTES..

The. breast of the indian game is
very much like that Of the pheasant
or the prairie chicken. The heft OF
the meat lies on the breast.
Don't try to raise lice and chicks
in the same coop, for the former
will soon crowd out the latter.
One of the best feeds for breed
ing turkeys is oats, and should make
at least one-half of the supplied ra-
ton, especially during the next three
months.
In a market fowl the breast is the
main thing, but in oder to obtain
a desirable breast it is Necessary to
have a good body first. Sc far as
actual quality is concerned, the col
or Of the skin is of no Importance.
But when the market calls for vel
low skin, it is important that only
such be serveu. Poultrymen can
neither afford to quarrel with the
demand nor try to reform it.
Ducks are practically immune from
cholera, roup and gapes. Their favor
lite diseases are Splldl IueHlu5iIAo anu
paralysis.
Ducks kept entirely on land must
have deep drinking vessels, so they
can get their heads under water.
Where shallow vessels or troughs are
used, they gum up about the eyes,
become listless, sit about, lose appe-
tite, and eventually die.
On farms having high, dry land,
which has a light growth of grass,
and where a new breeding gobbler
has lately been introduced, the larg-
est flocks and the most thrifty look,
ing turkeys are found.
In closely built houses, where there
is Door ventilation, the air becomes
contaminated by gases arising from
filth and the accumulated droppings.
AS the hens are exposed to these
gases during the night, it is no WOE
der that the system becomes pois'
oned by them and disease results.

FATTENING GEESE.

When the fattening season arrives,
according to an experienced goose
raiser, keep the fowls shut away
from bathing water, and feed bar
leymeal, cornmeal and beef scraps
and some chopped celery. Keep them
in a subdued light for three or four
weeks, when they can be let out for
couple of days to enjoy the use
Of pend. Then return to clean
quarters, and feed on barleymeal and
milk and chopped celery for two or
three days, letting them go twenty
four hours before killing.-American

CORN Cookie POISONING.

A short time ago two poultrymen
at the suggestion of friend bought
what they supposed to be wheat mid
dlings with which to make an even.
ing mash for their chickens. Both
men secured from a nearby dealer
what he offered as a first grade Of
middlings, but which proved to be
only low-grade screenings heavily
loaded with corn cookie. The result
Of this bargain" was the loss Of 120
fowls. Officials of the Bureau of
Animal Industry were called upon to
investigate the subject and found
the most important lesion was that
of a severe corrosive action upon the
whole digestive tract, particularly the
crop. Intestinal hemorrhages were
quite marked in several of the cases.
Many a farmer would be inclined 10
doubt diagnosis Of poisoning from
cookie in such cases, claiming that
he had fed lots of cookie with his
wheat to his chickens. In fact, that

would be likely to put wheat that
