Successful Life Work.

HE has achieved success who has
lived well. laughed often, and loved
much; who has gained the respect of
intelligent men and the love of little
children; who has filled his niche
and accomplished his task; who left
the world better than he found 1t,
whether by an improved poppy,
perfect poem, or rescued soul; who
has never lacked appreciation of
earth's beauty or failed to express 1t;
who has always looked for the best
in others, and given the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration; whose
memory a benediction." = President
Schurman.

Locating EHenhouses.

Farmers who locate their poultry
houses with the front toward the
sunny side. who keep the fowls well
supplied with extra scratch food, grit
and balanced rations and protects
them at all times from dampness and
chills at night, will have no trouble to
get full egg basket. says writer in
an exchange. The soil should be of a
light type, SO the poultry can easily
scratch and dust themselves in order
to get rid of the mites and lice. It is
necessary to drain off any water that
may settle in hollows and later be-
come foul. The henhouse should be
protected from the north wind by the
barn. l prefer the management of a
hennery by making winter and its sur
roundings as nearly like summer as
possible.

to report as follows:

to report as follows:
Percentage of dress is not the sole
requirement for fixing the value of a
carcass. In the rule applying to this
branch of the show, judges of fat car
cases in competition were instructed
to prefer attractiveness OF carcass,
percentage of high class meat to total
carcass, together with quantity of
flesh and fat. In the instance of the
champion Martin Reifer, the percent
age of fat was somewhat excessive,
and while this detracted from the
value of the carcass, it did not effect
the total dress. In addition to guam.
THY of fat the tallow of the champion
heifer was yellow and oily. Any fat
that has been carried by an animal
for a long period of time becomes
yellow and old looking; this material
ly detracts from the attractiveness of
carcass. In arriving at total percent
age of dress there are certain parts of
excessive fat that can be trimmed but
a good deal that cannot be and this
is included in the percentage of dress.
l am glad to have the opportunity
of going into this matter with you
