- ~\.‘,~ ‘ . .nJ IMPROVEMENTS DEMANDED.' ksscstions Fran . User to linkers of Incubators and Broaden-s. Improvement is the order of the age. l‘riticism is also the order of the age. [or one man who brings about a better -)ondition of things there are ten who Jtand ready to-criticise and offer ad- )ice. Both are necessary tothe'march )f progress. We wish to enter the ' anks of the last named in order that )ome one may be stimulated to invent and improve. Let us enumerate a few of the things we want and probably won’t get in incubators. One very simple matter, a slot for the fingers in the side of the egg tray, so that when the tray is placed on a flat surface it will not be necessary to squeeze one’s fingers in lifting up or . setting it down. A boxlike receptacle under the tray into which the chicks may drop and which may be drawn out like a drawer when chicks are ready to place in brooder, thus avoiding transferring the little birds with the hand. It cannot be too strongly insisted on that the less handling of chickens we indulge in the better. A wire protector for that portion of the thermostat which enters the hatch- ing compartment of the incubator. A good thermostat is of necessity a deli- cate apparatus. and we have known little chicks to disarrange its workings r . OUR CHEESE INDUSTRY. We" Afraid to Buy on Account of Misrepresentations. A leading cheese exporter who is quoted in the Boston Transcript states that the total production of cheese in - thiscountry ‘at the present time is fig- uredat about 265,000,000 pou'nds'annu- ’ ally and that we export about 70,000,- 000 pounds of this amount. He figures that the home consumption is about 260,000,000 pounds, including about 12,000,000 pounds of foreign cheese that is imported. If these figures are correct, our exports of cheese are very much larger than they were last year, which are given by the treasury bu- reau of statistics at 38,198,753 pounds for the fiscal year of 1899. Most likely the Boston exporter’s figures are eXagâ€" gerated, but it is probable that we shall show a considerable gain in our exports for this year. Since the cru- sade that has been made against “fill; ed” cheese our cheese has recovered some of the reputation that it lost. There is a demand for further legisla- tion to prevent the counterfeiting of well known brands of cheese in order to restore the prestige of these difier- ent makes. Congress is being urged to give our cheesemakers the benefit of laws that will enable them to compete with the Canadian dairymen, who have developed a large export trade in re- cent years at our expense. It is believ- CODSidel‘ably by their struggles in ‘ ed that with laws that guarantee the emerging from the shell. , in brooders it is possible to go far- ther than in the case of incubators. The great and fatal lack in most brood- crs is their inability to keep up the lax-at in zero weather. Outdoor brood- crs especially are subject to drops in temperature which are very discourag- ing both to the chicks and the man who is raising them. A brooder should have a lid which shuts down as tightly as it can be made to. This can be insured by the 11:48 of cleats nailed to the edge of the fizl or roof and roofing paper placed over the whole. The door or entrance in many brooders is altogether too gen- erous in size. More cold air in the form of drafts comes in through this door than in any other way possible. A door six inches wide is plenty big enough for any brooder, and when the chicks begin to crowd in the doorway it is time to remove to other quarters. The fringe or curtain on the edge of the hover should be of a good length, almost if not quite touching the floor. Remember that chicks do not sleep in a standing posture, and when flat on the floor they are more than ever sub. jcct to the influence of cold winds. The top or lid of a brooder ought to be twoâ€"thirds or the whole size of the brooder itself. Nothing can be more aggravating in cleaning out a brooder than to be hampered during the opera- tion by the narrowness of the opening in the top. Everything connected with the practical working of a brooder should be as simple and easy as possi- ble. It is the thought put into the de- tails of a machine that counts. Many brooders have a runway or board in front of them which takes up almost as much floor space as the brooder does. This is a feature which develops into a positive drawback where the brooder has to be used in a small house. The chicks need to be on the ground as soon as you can get them there, and a running board three feet square deprives them of just that amount of valuable room for exerciSo ing. scratching, etc. If the broodcr is a high one, sink it into the earth until the doorway is only two or three inches above the level, and you will then be able to use a running board of mini. mum size. The dread of fire is one which is al- ways present with the man or woman who has dealings with brooders. It is true that the lamp may be of the latest pattern and kept clean and wellfillx-d with oil, but accidents do happen. and ‘then away go your building and your insurance. We would suggest to the manufactur- ers that by the expenditure of a trifling outlay they might easily make brood- ers as fireproof as it is possible for them to be. The lamp chambers of the best brooders of today are roofed in with sheet iron. thus rendering one part at least impervious to flames. By lining the sides also with this same sheet iron we would have an almost fireproof compartment which in case of explosion of the lamp would offer noth- ing for the burning oil to feed on. More than that, it would perhaps tend to smother or confine the fire to the limits of the lamp chamber itselfâ€"H. S. Thompson in Farm Poultry. Stamp Ont Tuberculosis. Never doctor tubercular stock.

P. genuineness of our cheese products we might recover the former high position they enjoyed in foreign markets. It is pointed out that American cheese is in. some cases bought by Canadians and shipped to Great Britain as a Canadian product, finding a ready market. Our dairymen make as good cheese as can be found in the world and should have a considerable share of the foreign trade. What they need in order to oc- cupy a more prominent position is leg- islation that will convince the foreign consumer that he is not being deceived, bur is buying cheese that is exactly wnat it is represented to be. White Spots In Butter. A correspondent writes us that he had a Jersey heifer the butter of which was injured by white spots, supposed to be due to minute clots of curd, says The Rural New Yorker. The condition was remedied by giving every night one-half tablespoonful of cooking soda. We have submitted this to Professor Law of the New York State Veterinary college, who says if the white spots are really minute clots of curd the ex- planation can be made on a purely chemical basis. The most common cause of clotting is the development of acid in the milk and the presence of an excess of salts of lime. The lime salts especially determine a firmness and insolubility in the coagulum. The giving of bicarbonate of soda in small doses tends to increase the secretion from the stomach and thus to improve digestion. assimilation and secretion. including the condition of the milk. The increased secretion from the stom- ach implies a greater flow of hydro- chloric acid, but in the presence of soda this is soon resolved into chloride of , sodium, or common salt. which is no longer acid. The surplus soda salt cirv culating in the blood and secreted Willi the milk to a certain extent bars tin.- early formation of acid in the milk and the resultant souring. Again. the soda has stronger chemical affinities than lime and tends to take to itself the acids that go to make up the salts of lime and thus to diminish the amount of lime present in the milk and the tendency to firm clotting. Even sup- posing the white Spots should have been due to the growth of a ferment (bacterium). this must be a germ that finds its proper home in a sour (acid) medium. and the increase of the alka- line soda, by hindering souring. would ; for a time keep the medium in a con- ; dition in which such a germ fitted for acid media could not grow. Green Alfalfa. For Cows. During the summer of 1899 the Kan sas Agricultural college fed ten head of cows on green alfalfa for a period of 74.days. During this time they receiv- ed 77.145 pounds of alfalfa and 1,023 pounds of corn and Kafiir cornmeal On account of other experimental work it was impossible to retain the same field of alfalfa through the entire pe riod. and consequently we could not measure the area used: but. figuring on the basis of dry matter produced and comparing it with the amount pro- duced by an average yield of four tons of well cured hay per acre. we find that it took 2.97 acres to keep ten cows 7-1 days. During this time these cows yielded $85.69 worth of butter fat and sizimmilk. The grain cost $10.65. This leaves $75.04 to be credited to the green alfalfa, amounting to $1.95 per ton. or $25.26 per acre. Green alfalfa is relished by the cows, and a field can be kept in good condition for feeding during the whole summer. Where pas- turage is abundant it will doubtless not pay to feed green alfalfa, but where pasture land iS'scarce or the grass becomes short or dry green alfal- fa furnishes an excellent feed and will not only keep up the flow of milk for the time being. but will help materially to maintain a large flow through a longer period of lactation. Pasturing alfalfa will sometimes cause cows to bloat. We did not have a single case of bloat from cutting alfalfa and feed- ing it green.

One of the coloring matters used to color milk and butter is known as Martlus’ yellow, naphthol yellow. naphthalene yellow, Manchester yel- low. saflron yellow or golden yellow. and is chemically the same as the dini- tro alpha naphthol prepared from the naphthalene that crystallizes in gas mains. Physiological experiments show that it is lniurious or fatal in food. . _.. -. u-..“ FEEDING BEES IN SPRING. .est Way For the Good of the DO. and Ease of Operator. Early feeding of bees in spring 10 very essential to their welfare. 33‘ the best methods of doing it so that no openingsggtoj the hives are left to let the heat of the,bees escape is of much importance. There are various Ways of giving feed to bees, the most of which is more or less tedious and un- satisfactory. During early spring and on up to the honey fiow we want to fecdoften and regularly, and the best results are obtained by feeding every day or at least every two days. This manner of feeding stimulates the queen to depositing eggs, and she will keep it up so long as the feeding is continued, subject, of course, to the Strength of the colony. We feed bees to produce two diflerâ€" ent resultsâ€"namely, for brood rearing or strength of the colony and for a I I l reserve store of food in the hive. For a reserve store we may feed rapidly as much as a gallon. of sirup in 12 hours, but for brood rearing we feed about a gill or half a pint of sirup daily, to thus keep the queen stimuâ€" lated to laying eggs. This is always done in early spring in order to get colonies very strong in numbers ready for the honey flow that we may have a large force of bees to store honey, andithus obtain large honey crops. Bees do not attain much strength, and produce such a working force of their own, natural way of building up in spring. 'so that we frequently double their strength in this manner. and this accounts for the immense honey crops We read about and which many of us think are "fish stories" and on paper only, but a correct understanding changes our opinion. I The simplest and best manner to feed bees thus. both. for the good of the bees and case of the operator, is to raise the front of the hive high enough to let the sirup run back on the bot- tom board ot‘ the hive. the same being well cleaned and made tight. says A. ll. Duff in Farm. Field and Fireside. Alfalfa In the East. The New Jersey station recommends alfalfa to the dairy farmers and sug- gests that it will do well in New Jersey on many kinds of soil provided the sub- soil is open and porous. The most fa- vorable. however. is a somewhat sandy loam. warm. friable, with a loose. graVo clly subsoil well supplied with lime. A hard. compact subsoil is not desirable. Although a rich soil is preferable, the crop sometimes does well on poor land provided it is thoroughly drained. Where the land is not naturally rich it is advisable to fertilize. as the plant is a heavy feeder and will not grow well on a soil deficient in plant food. The treatment of the field the season preceding the sowing of alfalfa should be such as to effectually subdue all weeds and cause the Sprouting of seed in the ground. Farmyard manure should not be used for at least one year before sowing. as this favors the growth of weeds. The soil should be thoroughly fined. and if the subsoil is hard and compact a subsoil plow can be ustid with profit. Get pure seed and sow broadcast the last of April or the first of May without any protect- ing crop. Use 30 to 35 pounds of seed per acre. As Soon as the weeds appear go over the field with a mowing ma- chine, raising the cutter bar slightly. If the clipping is not too heavy. it can remain on the field as a mulch during the dry weather. This destruction of weeds early is important. On rich soils two crops are sometimes secured the first season, but on poor soils and dur- ing a dry year no crop can be expected until the second year. .â€" Stnrging the Melons. Melon vines cannot be transplanted successfully, hence we have to adopt some other means to start them if early melons are wanted. I select a tough sod of black loam and cut into pieces from six to eight inches square and about four inches thick. I place the grassy side down and close to- gether so as to form a level bed. Then the seeds are planted the middle of April with from six to ten seeds in each sod. When the plants throw out their second leaves. 1 thin them down to four in a hill and when ready to be moved to the field thin them again by taking out the weakest plant of each hill, leaving three plants to grow. When ready to be removed to the field, I mark the ground six feet each way and set out, placing the sod about two inches below the surface of the ground, giving a thorough irrigation at once, says A. Homan in Field and Farm. News and Notes. The horse business is reviving, and farmers are reported as looking about for good work horses. A large wheat acreage in Ohio. In- diana and other states is reported as in bad condition from the fly and lack of snow protection. The sheep is one of the daintiest and cleanest of domestic animals. It should have clean feed. pure water and con- genial conditions. . For potatoes. onions and garden use nitrate of soda is often applied when the plants are beginning to grow; a slight furrow is made on either side, the nitrate sowed in this and lightly covered. It should not touch the young plants. Some gardeners claim that bugs which are injurious to cucumber and other vines will keep away from onions. They therefore advise plant- ing an onion in each hill of vines. or making onion beds close‘to the vines; an easy thing to try. “The cherry,” says a very good au- thority. “needs less attention to prun- ing than any of our fruit trees. When young, it requires a little pruning to form a perfect head and an occasional thinning out of the head of the sour varieties." - .

The encyclopedias regard hair falling below the feet of women as extraordi nary. ' Several years ago Miss E. J. \Vhitten, of Topsham, Me.. was said to have hair eight feet in length. Marie Antoinette wore a pompadoui and rolls thrown back past her ears. ,Queen Anne wore side curls. A hair is a succession of cylindrical or elliptical horny cells. Curly or kinky hair is due to sudden “breaks" in the reg ularity of the cellular succession. Short hair was the style under the Francis I..regime. but with the court oi Louis XIII came long hair as a fashion. curls. wigs, powders. pcriwigs and pe- rukes. Samson’s strength was attributed to his long hair, and his fate is charged up to Dclilah’s shears. Absalom’s wealth of trcsses was the cause of his own death. In Egypt long hair was considered an incumbrance. It was a feature of beau- ty among the Hebrews and Greeks. R0. man ladies used artificial hair and se‘ the pace for future coifiures. Peasant girls in the south of France cultivate and sell their hair as a regular business practice. Traders who attend the fairs purposely to traffic in tresscs frequently find hair five feet in length. and hair six feet long is very scarce.â€" ‘WW RECENT INVENTIONS. Razors can be conveniently sterilized by a new apparatus which has a tank for heating the water or sterilizing liquid, provided with a hood which confines th( steam, slots being cut around the edge of the hood for the insertion of the razor blade. In Maryland a man has patented a shirt having a detachable bosom, which can be easily removed and a fresh one put.in its place when soiled. the shirt having a series of buttons. to which tongues on the edges of the bosom are attached. For army use a combined shelter tent and cape has been designed. having a canvas cover of pyramid shape, with a removable cap at the top. which is taken off for the insertion of the head, a role- scopic pole being attached at the end of a bayonet to support the device as a shelter tent. To give an alarm when a door or win- dow is opened a new device is formed of a spring actuated bell secured to a strip of board, with a second piece of board hinged to the first and opened into a wedge for insertion under the door, which when opened closes the wedge and starts the alarm.

In estimating the amount of chicken salad to serve a company the propors tion of five large chickens to 30 persons is a safe one. In ordering pork for a roast ask al- ways for young pork. Young roasted pork makes quite as good a salad as veal and is especially good in combination with celery and a little tort apple. ..-. m.wr‘nv.~wwflwww .. .. WW stead of shrinking from this "herrible doom they accept it with pride and gratitude. Nothing is refused to these girls while they are alive. If one of them sees a handsome dress or orns- ment on a woman and expresses a de- sire to have it, the woman must give it to her. Men are also sacrificed, though not for religious reasons, and they welcome death as eagerly as the girls. Count dc Cardi once tried to save one of these victims, but instead of thank- ing him, the man reviled him so bitter- ly for interfering and scolded the byâ€" standers so heartily for delaying to carry out the sentence that they promptly stopped his mouth by killing him. The worst insult which one woman can offer to another is to hold out the right hand in front of her with the in- dex and middle finger forming the let- ter V. This means, “You will become the mother of twins.” When twins are born in this region, they and their mothers are killed, as a rule, and when a mother dies in giving birth to a child the latter is also killed and buried with her. It is not superstition which im- pels the negrocs to dispose of mother- less infants in this heartless fashion. but the great difficulty of rearing them. Altogether, the information which Count de Cardi has gathered during his residence of many years in this portion of Africa is of rare value, espe- cially to anthropologists. â€"MW He Remembered Them. “By the way,” said the man who had stopped at a farmhouse to water his horse. “15 years ago a poor boy came this way, and you took him in.” “Yes?” queried the farmer, somewhat surprised. “You were kind to him,” went on the stranger; “you fed him, gave him words of encouragement and an old suit of clothes, put a dollar in his pock- et and sent him on his way rejoicinG. He told you at the time that he never would forget your kindness. Am I right?” “I reckon you are,” replied the farm- er. “He said that if he prospered he would see that you never had occasion to regret your kindr 955 to a poor,strug- gling lad." “Land's sakes!" exclaimed the farm- er’s wife excitedly. “It sounds almost like a fairy tale. don‘t it? Why, you must have seen him." “I have." said the stranger, “and he sent a message to you.” “What is it?” they both asked ex- pectantly. “He told me to tell you that he is still poor.” As the stranger drove away the farmer went out and kicked the pump viciously, while his wife threw a roll- ing pin at the chickens. wwoflm What They Deserved. Not very long since an exceedingly well dressed man about 35 was charg- ed in a north London court with being drunk. He promptly paid his 10 shil- lings’ fine and went away. A fortnight later a stylishly dressed woman was charged with a similar offense. As she gave the same name and address I concluded they were husband and wife. So 1 called on them. and my visit was repeated several times. They had a very nice home, kept two servants and had four children. I noticed a bonny, lad of S, as I saw him several times. Some months later I got a letter as fol- lows: Dear Mr. Holmesâ€"You know my Jack, the 8-year-old. I am sorry to say that he has got into bad waysâ€"steals money from us, stops out late and is very disobedient. Can you get him into any training home or institution of any kind, where his evil propensities will be cured? Kindly oblige us in this. I could not resist the temptation to reply as follows: Dear Sirâ€"I know of but one cure for Jack's evil propensities, and that is a thorough applica- tion of the horsepr to both Barents. Conselence the Coward. Murderers uncaught suffer awful agonies of fear when alone with their consciences, but when apprehended. tried. convicted. sentenced and incar- cerated they become callous to fear. Jailers tell me this is the general rule. There is an acquitted murderer in this city, once a leading politician. who has not been able to sleep alone in a dark room these 29 years. A light must be kept burning and an attendant is con- stantly on guard. A Wall street bro- ker, who has “done” every one of his most faithful friends, dares not go to bed in the dark. He keeps a light burning in his room and one in the hall, leaving the door open. In the small hours of the morning he awak- ens his family with pltiful cries. The city man who is not afraid of the dark- est alleys, who will brave thugs and stable gangs at any hour of the night, is in a panic when alone in a forest.- Pnlplt and Pew. In his “Lighter Moments” the late Bishop Walsham How tells of a lady. a great admirer of a certain preacher. who took Bishop Magee with her to hear him and asked him afterward what he thought of the sermon. “It was very long." the bishop said. “Yes,” said the lady, “but there was a saint in the pulpit.” “And a martyr in the pew,” rejoined the bishop. Not a. Fault Finder. “You are not one of these men who find fault with the cooking at home?" “No.” answered Mr. Meekton: “i don’t exactly find fault. but occasional- ly I do feel called on to apologize for the way things taste when Henrietta gets home from the club. You see, I never could learn to make good cof- .tee.”-Wuhlnston Star. \ Governor Nash of?“ 'I the early fall.
