He pro­ poses to erect eight incubators near several unusued springs on the south bank of the Grand river, and to em­ ploy running hot water in place of the lamps which usually suppl/ the neces­ sary heat. The projector of the plan hopes to hatch out from 5.Q00 to fi.OOO eggs each month. Few Ambulances In London. An agitation is going on in London for horse ambulances, for, incredible as it may seem, a person injured in the streets of London is joggled to the hospital in a two-wheeled hand bar­ row, drawn by one or two policemen. There are only three horse ambu­ lances in the whole city, and they are owned by private parties, who charge {pr their use. There is no first aid system. Water for Salt Lake City. Salt Lake has planned for an ex­ tension of its water supply that will cost $1,000,000 and make the supply ample for a city of 750,000 individuals.

The letter of Miss Merkley, whose picture is printed above, proves beyond question that thousands of cases of inflamma­ tion of the ovaries and womb are annually cured by the use of Lydia & Piflkham's Vegetable Compound. ** Dkab Mbs.

What an advance has taken place in gardening is well illustrated in the difference in the yield per acre of on­ ions in some gardens of to-day and those of the old-timer. It used to be considered that 600 bushels an acre was a good crop, but not any longer. A Michigan gardener, is credited with a harvest of 966 bushels this fall, but in this day of new and improved methods of culture the yield is not remarkable, as yields of even 1,200 bushels have been secured. Many of the large-rooted vegetables make the most of their growth during the cool months of the autumn. Carrots, pars­ nips and beets are of the number. During the summer their energies are given to the growflig of top in which is stored a large amount of raw ma­ terial that is prepared by the sun for use later in the growth of the .root. When the top begins to ripen and die it is evidence, if the plant is healthy, that the foliage is being deprived of its store and that the root is profiting thereby. For this reason such roots should be left in the ground till the top is dead, or' as long as it is safe to leave them. Here is an instance where "haste makes waste." Parsnips, one might wonder when they stop grow­ ing, or if they keep at it all winter. What appear to be small roots in the fall prove to be large fellows when dug in the spring. Bees Carry Clipped Queen. "I will give you the proof of a statement I made two or three years ago, namely: that sometimes, at swarming-tlme, bees do carry a clipped queen," remarks Gustave Gross in the American Bee Journal. "A friend of mine hived a swarm which, on the next day, left the hive and started for the woods; he being present at the time drove them back by throwing water on them. After a while they came out again and then he clipped the queen. But the next day they left for the woods; his family noted the direction they took, and about a week after he hunted them up, cut the tree down and there was his clipped queen. At that time there were no bees nearer than four miles. The tree he cut down was a quarter of a mile from the yard. "As I clip all my queens whenever a swarm issues while I am in the yard, I hasten to the hive in order to cage the queen, so as to make sure of her. It has twice happened that I did not see the queen, but afterward found her on my hat. How did she get there? "Several times also I have seen the queen come out last of all, one or two bees bringing her out 'by the ear,' so to say. In such cases I have caught her and put her in a cage. But next time it happens I shall watch to see what the bees do." Making Ready for Alfalfa. Alfalfa fields and lands intended foi other crops could be irrigated and fill­ ed with moisture this winter with profit. The water that runs by is doing the farmers no good. Turn it on the land, where it will be stored up against next summer's need. It is a great mistake to turn the water off from the canals as soon as the grow­ ing season is over, as is generally done throughout the west. The water can be safely and profitably run on the land so long as it soaks in with­ out freezing. This of course can not be done where alkali deposits would be brought to the surface to ruin the land. We believe the day will soon come when no water , will be allowed to run to waste, but will be stored in the soil for the needs of the coming crop, whether fruit, hay, grain or vegetables. The government proposes to construct expensive deservoirs for storing irrigating water. While awaiting their completion would it not oe well for every farmer to practice for future need. We know from ex­ perience that this "will pay handsome­ ly on nearly every farm in the weat.-- Denver Field and Farm. Limited Capital. When one has had no experience he should begin with the lowest risk. If the capital is small, it is better to rent for a year or two than to buy. If one buys he reduces his working capital, and should he be unsuccessful he must stay on the farm until he can sell it, while if he rents he can return the farm to the owner, and leave. It is claimed that if one buys he can when beginning get everything ready for a permanent stay, which is true, but that is just what an inexperienced person should not do. He should start in a small way, and add to his capital by increasing his flocks every year, so that by the time he has a large number of fowls he will know much more than when he began. He can then take his fowls to a purchased farm, and feel that he has made a good beginning.--Farm and Fireside. Storing Celery and Cabbage. One way to store celery is to place it closely set in a trench a foot wide and deep enough so the top of the stalks will come as high as the sur­ face. Boards are laid so as to shed rain. A pile of straw is hauled out and left oonvenient for UBe In cover­ ing the trench as the cold weather ap­ proaches. The objection to such a way of storing it is that it is not so accessible in the winter as when put in the cellar. The old way of storing cabbages was similar, except that they were stood on the head. Straw was pack­ ed around the heads and a covering of straw and earth added. Double Service from Fi«M* The finest way to enrich a field is to make a pasture of it. Then if you also haul the manure out on the grass land you make it do double service. First, the grass roots lay hold of it and feed the grass Abundantly and hold the unused fertility fast few fu­ ture drafts. And when you plow up the grass the big fat roots make more fertility, and as they rot they leavr channels down to subsoil for air and water to pass through. THREE YEARS AFTlvR. Eugene E. Lario, of 751 Twentieth svenue, ticket seller in the Union Sta­ tion, Denver, Col., says: "You are at liberty to repeat what I first stated through our D e n v e r p a p e r s a b o u t Dean's Kidney Pills in the Summer of 1899, for I have had no reason in the interim to change my opinion of that remedy.

This person, Who lived alone and had evaded service success­ fully for some time, was the owner of a male goat. My friend; whom I will call Mac, went to the defendant's house; but the wily poacher, observ­ ing his approach, had fled, leaving the door unfastened. Mac saw the goat tied up in a corner, entered, and solemnly read the summons to him, after which he stuck the copy on his horns. He then went home and en­ dorsed the paper thus:-- "Served by leaving a copy of this summons in defendant's residence at , with an inmate," etc. When proving service Mae waa asked by the magistrate: "Was the inmate of age?" s "Your worship," said my friend, lay­ ing his hand on the middle button of his tunic, "he had a beard down to that"--London /Tit-Bits. A GREAT INSTITUTION. It is unusual that a single institution in • City of 8,000 people will overshadow la im­ portance every other interest, but such is the case wit a the American School of Osteopathy, and A. T. St.11 Infirmary at Kirksville, Mo. A stranger in Kirksville is Immediately impressed with the idea that the towu is sustained by this institution, in fact, Kirksville has been made what it is to-day by Dr. Still and his famous School and Infirmary. It is the largest patronized un­ endowed institution of its Kind in the United States. Dr. Still's school enrolls over 700 students yearly aud each student is required to at­ tend four terms of five months each before completing the course of study. There are over 2,000 graduates and they are prac­ ticing ia every state and territory of the Union. About two-thirds of the states have passed special laws legalizing the science. This school teaches every branch taught in medical colleges except "drugs" and Osteopathy is substituted for that. So thorough is the teaching in anatomy that over one hundred human bodies are dis­ sected yearly by the students. At the Infirmary, patients from every part of the country and with almost eveiy form of disease are constantly under treat­ ment. For the past fifteen years almost every train coming to Kirksville has brought some new sufTerer hoping to find re­ lief by the science of Osteopathy. By the thousands who have left the institution benefited bv the treatment, the science has been heralded to the world as a safe and rational method of cure. Several years ago • free clinic was established in connection with the practice department of the school and this is still in operation. Hundreds of the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for treatment, are treated every afternoon by the senior students free of cnarge. Return to Mule Teams. Freight traffic between Reno, Nev., and Goldfield, the "new bonanza," has increased so much that the railroads cannot handle It, and mule teams of twelve mules each have been put on the road, the first time in over a quar­ ter of a century that they have ap­ peared on Nevada's roads. By freight train Goldfield is one day from Reno. By mule team It is twelve days. Favors Women In Postoffices. Congressman Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts has secured the ap­ pointment of several women to take charge of postoffices, and his activity in this way is not relished by the spoils element in his district.

The writer has known men to go into dairying because they believed It possible to make money out of i It. They had a perfect hatred of the t business and endured it much as the prisoner does his chains. The only man that should go into the business of dairying is the man that likes the business and has a deep interest in the success of all dairy effort. He should be a man that likes to care for live stock and has an ambition to own the best he can procure or breed. He also has an ideal in his mind of the kind of a dairy cow he wants and tries to get her. The true dairyman will learn enough about his cows to learn how to test them and fix in his own mind their relative merits. He will in no sense become a breed mix­ er, but will strive to make the most of the work of the old founders of the breeds. The true dairyman cares about the kind of a barn he keeps his cows in and is forever trying to improve the conditions under which his cows are kept and milk produced. He takes measures to keep everything clean and sometimes boasts that 11! a man is blindfolded and led into his cow stable he will not suspect where he is. He has become an expert on the com­ pounding of rations CM- is in process of becoming one. He has made him­ self familiar with the elements of growth and the foods required for milk production. In short he has dis­ covered that the dairy world is a largo one and that the interests are s§ varied that a man may spend a life­ time in learning about them. The Cow Feed Bill. All intelligent dairymen and farmers are agreed that the milk cow to bo the most profitable must have protein foods to balance the rations with corn or corn meal, silage, etc. Cotton seed meal and linseed meal are rich in pro­ tein, but expensive foods for this pur­ pose. Alfalfa Is also very rich in pro­ tein, and as the growing of it is in­ creasing rapidly it may soon supply this need, and farmers may then grow their protein as well as corn for silage. In referring to this subject the Jersey Bulletin says: "The northern dairyman seej the price of bran and by products of the milk slipping away from Ills reach, and if such prices are to be fixed thus by the demand, then the butter fat will have to be ihade by a cheaper sub­ stitute. Something will have to fill the place of bran. As a by-product of wheat for dairy cows it can not be surpassed. Alfalfa is about equal to wheat bran In analysis, but there is always some indigestible matter about forage crops that "stands in the light" of modern dairymen. Silage looks as feasible and likely a plan as any to solve the problem. This in combination with some cheap but efficient concentrate, would materially benefit the producer. There is no question but corn silage is the ideal cheap feed; but how to grow some other crop along with, it, and silo them readily so as to balance up the ration, is not yet solved. This Is diffi­ cult to do, although easy to look upon."--Indiana Farmer. Unremovable Dirt. Milk must be kept clean or it wili never again be clean. When dirt gets into the milk it is possible to strain out the coarsest of it, and especially such dirt as Is coarse enough to ap­ pear to the eye. But there is a very large quantity of dirt that is too small to appear to human vision, and that is so fine that it will pass readily through any mesh of metal or cloth strainer, as certainly as will water. Some of the impurities that get into the milk quickly dissolve and incorpo­ rate with the liquid portions of the milk. If this dirt was by itself the harm of its presence would not be great. But it carries with it ferments of numerous kinds that have fastened on it when it was in the air. These ferments all find the milk a perfect medium in which to develop. Since this dirt is unremovable the only way to prevent it is to keep it out of the milk in the first place. Pasteurizing will prevent part of the mischief, but not all, and, moreover, pasteurization is not generally practiced in this coun­ try. Blush Your Cows. Dairymen should practice brushing their cows daily. No filth should be allowed to remain on their sides or udders. It not only causes discomfort to the cows, but it is impossible to get pure, sweet, clean milk or make bntter If the cows are filthy. - It has been fully demonstrated that cows will not give their usual supply of milk without the conditions are favorable. Boisterous language should not be permitted. The stables should be cleaned daily, proper bedding pro­ vided, in fact, all the details should be adhered to faithfully if the good results are expected. Dairy Wisdom. Never water less than twice m day Sweet apples are also most valua­ ble; not one should go to waste. See that the food given the cows is of the best quality and in the best condition for digestion. Keep all of the dirt possible oat of the milk and not depend on the Strain­ er to take out dirt. A recommended cure for garget is to bathe the udder In water as hot as the hand can be borne. What is dissolved in the milk will remain there to soil and injure its flavor and keeping qualities. Beware of salt that aoes not dissolve readily. It is liable to remain undis- polved and make the butter gritty, un­ less too much water Is left in the but­ ter. It is not bo much the amount of butter fat a cow produces as what it costs to produce it that determines the profit--Northwestern Agricultur­ ist. • Arrange a warm, sunny, cozy corner for the calves, and give them a chance to be happy and thrifty. Their future usefulness depends upon it.--Farm JKurnaL Metal Coops. •t a state fair recently the writer saw some coops made out of metal, the parts being adjustable. The idea is a good one. It is not necessary to go to the patent men to buy, but any man of intelligence can invent a metal coop for himself with side and ends as well as floors adjustable. Such a coop has several advantages over the wood­ en coop. It should last forever, if properly painted and taken care of. No rat can gnaw a hole through 6uch a coop, nor are there permanent crev­ ices in which lice can collect. They have no pores to fill up with disease germs, to subsequently breed disease. They may be scalded out frequently or may be subjected to a degree of heat that will destroy all life. If the metal floors come into contaet with the wet ground they do hot get damp. --Farmers' Review. ~ , Buffinton's Poultry. Bwfflnton's strain of Partridge Ply­ mouth Rocks was made by crossing Partridge Wyandotte males with Part­ ridge Cochin females, writes Rowland G. Buffinton. Others were making the same variety under the name of Golden Plymouth Rock. We purchas ed some of this stock, also some first cross hens of Mr. BrackenbdTy of New York, to put with our, stock, and we have on our farm the largest flock of extra quality birds in the country We do not claim for this variety to be better than all others, but it makes Srt Partridge Plymouth Rocks. a valuable addition to the American varieties. They lay as well as the Barred and White Plymouth Rocks, and, owing to the Cochin blood, make one of tho best market fowl. - This variety has not been as hard to per­ fect as some other breeds; the pencil ing was already made; most all the males have yellow legs, but a larger percent of females still have the wil low or dark shade on shanks, and this season nearly all of my birds are free from feathers or stubs on shanks.- Farm Poultry. " Clean and Pure Feed. Poultry that are fed grain receive pure feed, but it is cot by aity means advisable to make grain the sole ra­ tion of the poultry. Soft feeds will have to be fed to some extent and troughs must be used for this kind of feed. Where the residue is left to sour the fowls will show the ef­ fects in time. Fermented feeds do not appear to be readily digested by poul­ try. Carelessness in the matter of cleaning the troughs may cost the poultry owner dear. It requires some effort to haVe the feeding and water­ ing vessels always clean, but it is the only thing that should be done. Spoil­ ed food is a disease breeder and it should not be permitted within reach of the fowls. 8and in the Food. Sand is no substitute for gravel, and the mixing of sand in the food is use­ less. When coarse grit is swallowed by the fowl it is voided before it be­ comes as fine as sand. Grit provides the mechanical appliances for grind­ ing the food in the gizzard. It really cuts the food, hence the sharper the edges the more It Is preferred by poultry. When the grit becomes worn until round and smooth it is passed on as useless, in using grit, there­ fore, endeavor to secure that which is bard and sharp. Sand is of no value whatever as grit--Poultry Keeper. Keep Chickens Healthy. . J Whenever you see a chicken walk­ ing about slowly with its neck brought back between its shoulders you may depend upon it that there is something the matter with it. It Is either lousy, sapped by mites, or half-starved or af­ flicted by all these at once. Mites are tho worst, save perhaps, starvation. The poor biddies go about as if they were on their last legs and desperate­ ly sick. A litle knowledge, assisted by a little work, will prevent all this. Nobody should be allowed to raise chickens who Is too lazy to take the pains necessary to keep them healthy. --•Homestead. Throw It to the Hens. One of our leading poultry papers had the following query in the De­ cember issue: "What is the best way to feed green bone?" The editor an­ swered, "Throw it to the hens." It is to be suppoeed that the person making the inquiry was in ignorance as to the amount to feed, how often, and whether it should be fed in mash or separately. 'Throw it to the hens" is misleading advice. Green bone is a stimulating and forcing food for lay­ ing hens and chicks. It cannot be tossed to the hens as grain is, and fed ad libitum. Both green and dry bone should be fed in small proportion to the ration. If fed in the mash it is more evenly distributed; there is less danger of the greedy birds taking all the meal. If it is fed separately and regularly fowls are not likely to over­ eat of it. Green cut bone in fair quan­ tity insures health, growth and eggs; when fed too freely it bjings on digest­ ive troubles and diarrhoea.. Not more than a tablespoonful three times a week should be given to the laying hens. "Throw It to the hens" if It seems best, but see to It that each Imb gets her share.--Wallace s Farmer. Uses.
