GOOD WAY TO KEEP MEAT
scslding VIII Not eerlousIy Affect
Flavor and Will Increase Keep
ing Qualities.

When meat must for any reason be
X spt for unusually long periods OF
time or when the conditions are unfa-
vorable in not weather, scalding may
be resorted to advantageously. Drop
ping the meat into boiling water tor
few minutes will not seriously affect
its fiavor when IL ultimately appears
upon the table, ana 1t will put 1t in
mach better condition for keeping.
II is important, however, that II be
dipped in a large body OF boiling wa
ter. II only small amount of water
is used, the introduction of the meat
will lower the temperature to such
an extent that the whole process be-
comes worthless. With such meats as
veal or pork, which are always. or
ought to be, thoroughly done, the pre-
caution can be carried further and the
joints partially cooked before being
stored away. Care should be taken,
however. to see that the recooking is
thoroughly done.

amined and all rough edges carefully
filed down so there is nothing TO irri-
tate the nose and keep 1t raw and
bleeding.
When the animal Is about two to
two and one-half years old. the light
ring should be removed and a good
heavy ring inserted. Iron rings should
not be used as they rust and keep the
bulls nose raw and sore. The best
are made of brass or bronze compost
ton metal and do not rust.
In tying up the bull by the nose,
one should be careful to avoid fright
ening him. causing him TO jump back
and slit the ring out OF his nose. 1t
is safest to pass the tie chain through
the nose ring and then up and around
his horns and when he jerks back most
OF the strain comes on the horns and
not at the nose.

FEED CALVES IN STANCHloNs
DIseourages Desire TO Suck One An
others Ears--Wooden Device Is
Entirely Satisfactory.

There are several good reasons for
feeding calves in stanchions. The
calves can be fed their milk, then
their grain, and after they have eaten
the grain they will lose their desire
TO suck one another's ears. A
stanchion made OF wood will be entire
ly satisfactory. It should be made
from 8 to SA feet high and ls to "a
inches from center to center. with the
neck space 4 to 5 inches wide. II is
built In the same manner as the old
style rigid stanchion, The calf should
be fastened while eating. but loosened
from the stanehions after 1t has eaten
its grain. The calf pens and stanchions
should be built in the south side OF the
barn, where plenty OF sunshine and
light can be had. There is no disin
fectant that win take the place Of
sunshine.

Interior Of Poultry House Showing

broken rock and on top of this three
or four inches of light soil, the whole
covered with heavy coating of dry
sand.
A floor of this kind will resist
dampness unless the house is built
in low or swampy place No matter
where located the ground should be
thoroughly drained on all sides of the
house on the outside. or course the
ideal dry dirt floor is made by first
laying tiled drains at the depth OF
about six inches, Is inches apart the
entire length of the house, extending
out on each side from six to eight
feet. This will absolutely prevent
dampness.
The open-front houses may be
adapted to the small flock of the farm
or to any number of birds by simply
multiplying the units. This form of
poultry house has been tried in all
climates and has proved more sati5-

In the extreme northern states
where the thermometer falls to many
degrees below zero it is well to pro-
tect the birds at night by thin mus
lin curtain attached to roller which
may be rolled up during the day and
let down at night but in moderate
climates this protection is not at all
necessary. A muslin curtain should
be of such texture that the air may
pass through 1t, otherwise drafts
will be caused and drafts are posi-

that can affect poultry
The open-front curtained poultry

where the temperature falls to 20 de-
grees or more below zero, and with
excellent success.
In those localities where there Is
little snowfall but excessive moisture

cases they are sure TO hold dampness
in the house.

START TRAINING BULL EARLY
Inserting Nose Ring Is Simple and
Short operation--composltion
Metal Does Not Rust.

A bulls training must be started
early. A light weight ring should be
inserted In his nose when he is from
nine to twelve months old, but under
no circumstances should he be led by
the ring until three or four months
after 80 that the nose can heal up
well.
Inserting the nose ring is simple
and short operation when properly
done. First tie the bull securely TO
post by the head and horns. then take
common trocar and cannula, well
sterilized, and push 1t through the
thinnest part OF the membrane that
separates the nostrils. withdraw the
trocar, leaving the cannula in the open
ing. Put one end Of the opened ring
in the pointed end of the cannula and
then carefully withdraw cannula,
which brings the ring into the open

PROPER TOOLS FOR DAlRYINe
Manure spreader Is One Of Most
Profitable lmplements-Sllo ls
Regarded as Essential.

II Is impossible to give specific
answer to the question as to what tools
a dairymah should possess. Much de-.
pends upon mans pocketbook and
the possibility of his changing work
with neighbors to get the use of their
tools, and upon labor conditions in
general. For instance, manure
spreader is one of the most profitable
implements for farmer with any
amount OF dressing TO distribute. Yet
II IL possible to handle the manure In
the old way II man simply cannot
buy spreader.
II you are dairying you ought to
have a silo, and that means a silage
cutter and an engine, unless you can
arrange with a neighbor to do the
work. II you raise potatoes in any
quantity a planter sprayer. and sure
ly digger. will perform the work
most economically. Yet It is possible
to get along without these. OF course,
you would not expect to compete very
successfully with growers who have
such improved machinery. This class
of tools is in use only portion OF the
year, and 1t ties up your capital to your
disadvantage II you have but little tc
begin with. There are certain things
that every farmer is expected to have
such as wagons, plows. harrows, NOW
ing machine, hayrake, etc.

Glass COOKING Utensils.

Glass cooking utensils are new. AL
ready glass stew pans have been used
and found practical, says the New
Haven Journal-Courier. These uten-
sils are apparently not affected in any
way by intense heat under them. or
by the contracting temperatures of
the articles which they contain. Glass
is superior to either enamel or alum
mum, being affected by none of the
acids or alkalis found or used in cook
ing. Glass will not crack as enam-
eled ware does, and is therefore more
desirable.

SOME TROUBLES OF TURKEYS
Common Cause Of Disease Termed
Chicken Pox ls Overlooking With
Corn-lt congests Liver.

Turkeys are sometimes infected
with disease which might be termed
chicken pox-a condition in which the
heads become covered with large yell
low sores, which discharge little
and form scabs, giving the birds a
most unwholesome appearance, writes
/. B. Henderson In Farm, Stock and
Home. This 4 a form OF scrofula,
and 1t seems to spread from one bird
to another, SO that It needs to be
dealt with on definite lines.
We believe common cause of this
to be overlooking with corn. which,
In spite of advice to tho contrary, still
remains a favorite food for turkeys
with many farmers; but II overheats
the system, and, being OF starchy
nature. tends to congest the liver even
OF young stock. The blood in this way
becomes filled with impurities. for the
simple reason that the digestive proc
esses cannot be properly carried out,
and these eruptions. especially II the
birds get inoculated with the com.
plant from some other source, will
appear and will work untold mischief.
Tho only way to deal with this is
to separate the birds, bathe the sores
as they appear with a fairly strong
solution of permanganate OF potash.
paint with disinfectant, dose the bird
with epson salts, and keep on a fairly
low diet. Such a treatment will give
the bird a setback so far as fieshing
in concerned, but It is absolutely
necessary to follow out such a treat
ment IL the trouble is to be checked.

A good poultry house need not be
expensive. It can be made of rough
boards OF any kind. If floor is used
Il should be made OF a double thick
ness of planks with a sheet OF build
ing paper between The sides and
roof should be covered with heavy
tar paper, battened down over all the
cracks. the essential thing being to
prevent any drafts whatever.
The roosting closet should be sep
arate from the laying room and
scratching shed. Hens should never
be fed in the roosting closet nor
should the floor OF the closet be COW
cred with straw, as this gathers
dampness. Many successful poultry
men do not use dropping boards at
all but clean the floor every day,
which is, all things considered, prefer
able. OF course, II the droppings are
allowed to accumulate on the floor
the conditions will be as bad as II
allowed to accumulate on the drop
pins boards Cleanliness is always
essential and whether the dropping
boards are used or not the roosting
house should be kept perfectly clean
and dry at all times.
By sprinkling a little dry earth or
sand on the floor the droppings may
be removed in a few moments and
the floor can be kept clean with very
little effort.
The laying nests should be ar
ranged in an apartment adjoining the
roosting closet and here the birds
may be fed. This laying and scratch
irg shed should be entirely open to
the south, the front being covered
with wire to prevent the intrusion of
rats and other rodents.
A box of grit and box of dry road
dust should always be kept in the
scratching shed. No matter how care
full one may be fowls cannot be kept
entirely free from vermin without
having constant access to dry dust.
1t is their natural way of protecting
themselves from vermin and IL they
are confined without being allowed to
dust themselves they are sure to be
affected.
Nests should be placed at least two
placed on an incline that the hens
can easily walk up to the nest instead
of being compelled to fly up. Young
pullets heavy with egg are often in
Jured by flying up to, and down from
nests placed too high.
