RUsslA's PEASANT BANKS.

"In Is months Of 'water-wagon' life
there have been founded 1900 peas
ant cooperative banks and 1000 peas
ant cooperative supply stations or
stores" says Ivan Narodny, secretary
Of the Russian-Am -Asiatic cor
poration, in the New York Tribune.
"These peasant banks are just now
forming a central administration, n
bank of banks. In Moscow, composed
OF delegates from provincial banks.
The government has not yet been able
to grasp the whole extent of these Pc
cullar institutions of the people, both
sporadically and suddenly looming up
as something gigantic In national
economic life. The cash capital of
these peasant banks amounts to 50O,-
100000 rubles, while the value of their
accessories, real estate, securities, etc,
reaches 1,0O0.OOO,OO0."
Most of the hatred against the Rus
sian jew, he tells us, originated in the
lending Of money by Jews to peasants.
The peasant banks abolish automati.
cally all Russian Jewish troubles. !.
"If the czar had done nothing but
abolish alcohol" says the secretary,
"he would loom up in history as one
of the great reformers."

EARMARKS OF GOOD LAYERS
chalky White Ear Lobe Indicates Hen
Is Laying Heavily-Rules Laid
Down by Cornell Expert.

When you go out into the hen yard
to get a chicken or two for the Sun
day dinner, you naturally want to Sc
lect the ones that are poor layers.
There probably isn't any way of tell
Ing In every case by hens looks
whether or not she is good layer,
but the following rules laid down by
Professor Kent Of Cornell are the re-
suit OF good deal of study and OBJ
servatlon. They will hold good In
most cases:
Yellow-legged birds quickly Iny of
the color In their shanks when they
are laying. A hen which is laying
heavily almost loses the yellow color
out of her shanks. After molting the
yellow color returns quickly.
Examination of the ear lobe is con-
sidered to be almost infallible. A
chalky white ear lobe indicates that
bird is laying heavily, whereas a
cream-colored one shows that the bird
Is laying moderately, has just started
or has just stopped. A mlllz-colored
ear lobe shows that the hen has laid
shghtly or mas stopped laying. A very
yellow or dark ear lobe indicates that
the hen has not laid at all.
1t is to he remembered that an ex.
tremely white ear lobe also may mean
very low vitality.
The more velvety the texture of the
comb OF hen is the better is her
health, and 1t is almost u certain sign
that she is laying heavily.
out OF 40 hens under observation at
Cornell, six with chalky-whlte ear lobes
showed that they had laid % eggs that
week, l6 eggs the previous week and
nine the week before that.
or six other hens with creamy ear
lobes, four laid Is eggs that week and
three laid II the week before and three
more laid nine eggs the prior week.
Seven hens with yellow ear lobes
We're examined and only one of them
had laid an egg that week and four the
week before.
Nine hens with very dark ear lobes
showed that they had not laid an egg
for weeks.

FOR SUCCESS WITH PIGEONS
Variety Of Good, Hard Grains Is Essen
tlal--Not Advisable to Feed Birds
on Wet Ground.

A variety Of good. hard grains Is
essential 10 success with pigeons, and
grains which are In poor condition
should not be fed. Old grains which
are hard are better than new soft
grains, especially for pigeons with
squads. Red wheat Is considered bet
ter than white wheat by many pigeon
breeders. Good wheat screenings are
often fed with success, as they usu-
ally contain variety Of seeds. vari-
GUS stimulating seeds, such as lentils
and vetch, are sometimes fed rs
tonic TO breeding birds during the molt-
ing period.
The grain may be fed on the floor
OF the pen, in troughs, or kept before
the birds in hoppers. II is not gen.
orally considered advisable to feed the
grain on the ground, especially on
heavy soil where 1t may get wet and
moldy. Unless the floor IL kept clean
Il is better TO feed the grain In troughs
than on the floor. The troughs should
he made so that the pigeons will not
roost on them and soil the feed with
their dropplngs.
Hoppers are used with good SUGGEST
but may attract rats I'm some pigeon
houses. They should be fitted with
wires or nails about two inches apart
80 that the pigeons cannot waste the
feed by throwing II out onto the floor.
II the grain is not fed In hoppers the
pigeons should be fed twice daily, In
the morning and In the afternoon, at
regular hours, giving from one and
one-half TO two quarts Of grain at each
meal to 20 pars of pigeons and add
ing an extra pint II the pigeons have
many squads. The feeder must regu.
late the quantity OF grain according to
the appetite of the birds, giving them
all they will clean up In one TO two
hours.

needs at least four square feet of floor
space. II an inclosed scratching shed Is
included, this may be considered In
making calculations of the amount Of
floor space. IL a considerable number of
fowls is to be kept over, 1t will be
worth while to divide the poultry house
proportionately between old and
young.
He must gather in all the young
chickens from brooder houses, coops
boxes, trees and bushes, for thorough
culling of the flock. He must give pull
lets hatched In April and May chance
to make good. They will lay In Novem-
ber and December II properly housed
and fed. He must dispose of all old
stock, except birds desired as breeders |;
also old ROSTERS and cockerels, except
those needed as breeders or for family
consumption. Colony houses may be
utilized for cockerels and surplus stock
until they can be protitably marketed.

BLUE OINTMENT FOR vERMIN
One Application VIII Keep Fowl Free
From Lice for Entire Season
Must Dust often.

With many poultrymen the use of
blue ointment as a remedy for lice
Is replacing the use OF lice powder
and liquid lice killers. When lice
powder is used, the busting must be
very thorough, as the descendants Of
any louise that escapes will soon re-
infest the hen. With lice powders at
least two dustings must be made ten
days apart.
On the other hand. when blue olnt-
ment is used, but one application Will
keep the fowl free of lice for an entire
season. The ointment is applied by
rubbing a small pellet into the feath-
ers around the vent. as all lice on the
fowl must make frequent visits to this
portion Of the hen In order to obtain
moisture.

DESSERT OF Merit
cHARLoTTEs EASY TO MAKE AND
WILL BE LIKED.
Sponge Cake the Foundation Of Deli
eacy That Is Worthy Of a Place
on Every Luncheon or
Tea Table.

Charlottes are easily made. AID as
they can be varied widely, they are
worth serving often. The foundation
of charlotte is case of sponge cake
filled with whipped cream.
Lady fingers or small sponge cakes
cut In two, or slices of sponge cake
cut in narrow strips, can be used for
the case. The sponge cake, in what
ever form, can be placed as a lining
to glass dessert dish, or II can be
placed in individual dessert glasses.
Lady fingers can be split and piled
log-cabin fashion and the cream put
Into them. Or the sponge cake can
be put around the sides and bottom
Of mold and held in place with a
little liquid gelatin. When the gela-
tin hardens the cream is put In.
This combining gelatin and sponge
cake and whipped cream leads to
much variety. Lemon. orange, wine
and grape-juice jelly are delicious used
In this way.
AS for the charlotte filling of
whipped cream, that, too, can be va
ried. Stiff egg whites can be folded
into whipped cream to increase the
bulk and make the mixture lighter IL
desired.
The cream should not be sweetened
too highly. 1t can be favored simply
with vanilla.
Candied fruits can be cut into tiny
shreds and mixed in the whipped
cream.
Orange pulp cut into bits can be
mixed with sweetened whipped cream.
Stewed figs can be cut into small
bits and mixed with the filling for a
charlotte.
Fresh berries of any sort almost,
especially strawberries and red rasp-
perries, can be mixed into the cream
for a charlotte russo.
A big sponge cake can be followed
out inside and the charlotte filling
piled into the cavity.
Many desserts have interesting his
tories. This is one of them. But no
body is sure of Its history. The
French claim that Charlotte de Med
lei either originated this dessert or
that 1t was named for her, and the
English say 1t is namesake Of Char.
lotte, queen of George Ill.

GIVING MEDICINES TO SWINE
BY Using Old Shoe With Hole Cut In
Toe, There Is Little Danger
Of Strangulation.

If 1t should be necessary to admin
lister medicines to hog, simply cut
small opening in the toe of an old
shoe, have an attendant hold hog In
as natural a position as possible, in
sert toe of shoe in mouth, pour drench
In shoe carefully, and the hog will do
the rest (of course powders should be
liqueiied with water). By this method
there is practically no danger of
strangulation, no danger OF breaking
drenchlng horn or bottle or any other
vessel that may be used, the hog in
trying to eject shoe from mouth Will
simply swallow.

PROVING GOLD BRICKS.

1t Is authoritatively stated that
beer has fallen to fifth or sixth place
among the products Of the city of
Milwaukee. One of the largest brew
cries in the city has been offered for
sale several times In recent years,
with no bidders. Another brewery
has sold all its stock to holders In
England and Germany. The buyers
thought they bought a gold mine,
whereas they bought a gold brick. The
prohibition sentiment which has been
sweeping the West has made itself
felt even In Milwaukee. 1t is a fact
not generally known that one of the
largest breweries in that city is using
an assumed name. The real owner
doesn't want his own name connected
with the business.

WISE WORDS.

mo temperance advocate In the
world has spoken wiser words than
those uttered by the German emperor
to the naval cadets" said Secretary
of the Navy Daniels, speaking before
the national convention of the Catho-
lie Total Abstinence union. The
words referred to, spoken November
p, 1910, at the dedication of the new
naval academy at Murvik, are in the
light of the events of the past two
years most significant. We quote part
Of the address:
"As you will observe In the course
of your time on board, the service In
my navy has reached degree of
strain which can hardly be surpassed.
To be able to endure this enormous
pressure In time of peace without wear
Ing out, so that you may be fresh when
serious call comes, Is your duty.
The next war, the next naval encoun-
ter, will require Of you sound nerves.
These are undermined by alcohol, en-
dangered from youth up, by its use.
You will later have opportunity to
see the marine targets and the ac-
ton of modern guns on ships, and will
be able, therefore, to infer the con-
ditions In battle. You will see hor-
rible devastation and all kinds OF pic
lures. Then the word will be strong
nerves and coil heads. The nation
which drinks the least alcohol will be
the winner"

BUSTED STRAW FOR FEEDING
Value Demonstrated by Experiments
Made by Canadian and Other
Experiment Stations.

There has evidently not been much
investigation on the effect of rust on
straw as to Its feeding value. Most of
the analyses made show that rust in
creases the feeding value of the straw.
The Dominion experiment station In
Canada and the experiment stations in
North Dakota and Minnesota, have
found that the rusted straw has n
larger feeding value than rust-free
straw. The analysis made at the
North Dakota experiment station ono
year, however, showed that the straw
had a decreased feeding value. The
reason for an increase feeding value
is explained by the fact that the plant
first produces the nourishment In the
stem and leaves and later passes II up
into the head to fill out the kernels
The rust interferes with this food
passing up into the head. II has a
little the same effect as cutting the
grain for hay.
The value Of the rusted straw de-
pends on good many factors, among
which are the time at which rust
strikes the crop, how the straw is
cured, and whether It has any shriv-
eled grain In II. Cases have been re-
ported In which animals have been
harmed by being fed rusted straw.
One way to determine II II is harm
full Is to feed it TO few of the less
valuable animals for a week or two
and observe the effect that 1t has on
them. Some other roughage should be
fed with the rusted straw and do not
make sudden change from other
feed to rusted straw. Shaking the
straw to remove the dust as far as pos
sible is also advisable. Observe the
animals that are being fed rusted
straw to see what effect 1t has on them.

VALUE OF WHEAT FOR SWINE
Tests Made at Missouri Agricultural
College to Find Suitable Sub
stitute for Corn.
CBy l.. A. wEAVER)

Information of value to all pork-pro-
ducers, especially in seasons when the
corn crop is short, has been obtained
by carrying on experimental work
with other crops grown on the farm
by the Missouri agricultural expert
ment station. BY conducting feeding
trials with wheat II has been shown
that under some conditions wheat may
well be used for hog feeding instead
of corn. Results obtained show that
when corn is worth 40 cents or more

a bushel, wheat may be profitably sub
stituted for corn If the wheat is worth
90 cents or less. Likewise if corn is
worth so cents per bushel, wheat is
worth $1.03 bushel as hog feed.
1t has been further shown that pork
may be produced more cheaply by
adding small amount of tankage tc
mixture Of corn and wheat than by
feeding these feeds without such a
supplement.
For example, the cost OF producing

age was 90 cents less than when corn
alone was used. This would mean an
additional profit to the producer of
500 or more on each carload OF hogs
