Dietrich. who is conducting an extensive series of experiments in economical hogofeeding at the Illinois Experiment Station. He has accom- plished it in nine months. but is anxious to do it in eight. Of course. he is producing the fat hog. not the Wiltshire singer, but, all the same. the results are interesting. He finds that an all-corn ration is not good for growing pigs. Up to the age of six months. which is to say during the growing period. a ration contain- ing considerable portein is advan- tageous; after that corn may he used to produce fat. One of their most important findings. and one to which hog raisers the world over cannot give too careful heed. is the danger uf over feeding. A hog can eat more than he can digest. and digest more than he can use. As eze producers a mongrel flock of hens, if given a fair chance, will sometimes acquit themselves with much credit in egg production. per- haps about as well as most of the pure breeds of fowl, for the very good reason that most of our breeds of poultry have been devel0ped with more regard for type and fancy points than for egg laying. More over, the inbreeding and close line breeding practiced by many has tend- ed to reduce the stamina, which is after all a fundamental requisite of successful production. whether of eggs, milk or meat. Under these circumstances the introduction of a strain of other blood often tends to increase of vigor, and, indirectly. of egg production. But if the pure-bred is not always a better layer th in the scrub, she is usually a superior table fowl. asare also the cockerels and pullets produced by mating her to a suitable male of her own breed. A prominent authority on poultry states that, "To succed in doctoring a stubborn case of sickness of a per- sistent epidemic in his flock. is one of the worst misfortunes that can befall a poultry-keeper,” meaning thereby that it is much better, from the dollars-and-cents standpoint. lor the poultryman to kill (owls as soon as they exhibit symptoms of disease than it is to potter about and endeav- or to treat the Infected birds. As a general rule. this advice holds good. Unless a man can detect the trouble. diagnose the disease. and apply treatment, in the early stages of sickness. it is seldom that doctor- ing is of much avail. If he manages once or twice to be successful in checking a mild epidemic, or curing an individual case here or there, he gets into the habit of fussing about his towls, dosing them up when they get sick. and usually ends up by get- ting his place stccked up with a lot of birds of enfeebled constitutions. predisposed to disease. A little knowledge of the diflerent fowl diseases is essential to success in poultry-raising. but more as a means 0! detecting disorders in the early stages than for applying remedies to cure the trouble. The one fact that a poultryman wants to be able to grasp firmly is that. when once disease becomes established in his flock, the best thing he can do is to use a good sharp hetshet pretty vig- orously. In theelong run it will cordially invite WE all the ladies of Durham and surrounding vicinity to attend at our Nineteenth Semi- Annual display of trimmed mill- inery.

Some recent English investigations. carried out on behalf of some of the County and Borough Councils in Yorkshire. demonstrated that the first milk drawn from each cow con- tained an enormously greater number of germs than either the mid-milk or. the strippings. The first or fore milk represented the first 25 cubic centi meters drawn from the teat, the mid milk being taken when the milk- ing was° half accomplished. The numbers were quite variable. but the results lar,ely confirmed those of other inveStigators, one of whom found 97.000 bacteria in the first milk. as compared with about 9.000 in the mid milk. and 500 in the' strippings. It seems that the bacteria clustered in colonies about the end of the teat are largely washed away by the first few streams of milk drawn from the quarter. The prac» tical lesson is, of course. to reject the first two or three streams of milk from each teat. not even allowing it to come in contact "'ith the inside of the pail. As the fore milk is very thin and watery, practically no but- ter fat is lost, while the bacterial content of the mess of milk will be very much reduced. and its whole someness and keeping qualities accordingly improved. It has been proved that shying in horses is the result of defective eye sight as much as it is that of few. A brave horse will never shy, uh «I:- er his eyesight be perfect or no ; if the shying be from defective eyes. a great deal of compassion should be exercised towards the horse; if from fear. still create r compassion is due him. Take the horse up to the object he is afraid of and allow him to smell it; it will often pay the rider to waste half an hour in convincing a horse that he has really nothing to be afraid of. rather than to pass on. leaving the horse under the impres- sion that he has escaped from some- thing terrible. It is best to soothe him. and keep him with it until he is convinced there is no danger in it. If the (right is from defective vision. the matter is more serious. and the horse will probably never be thcr onghly cured. No horse is ever cured of shying by punishment; the dread of punishment will only increase his timidity. Habits grow upon horses as they do upon children. A horse will sometimes shy at a small piece 0! paper lying in the road. The occurrence may be out of his mind entirely until he comes to the place again where he shied. He seems to think it is his business to shy again. and unless he is cured of the habit he will belikely to shy every time he passes that particular spot. Horses may get a habit of pulling on one rein because of some soreness of the mouth. The habit thus formed may be continued aiter the original cause has been removed.â€"Live~stcck JonrnaL Elderly Germnn (of the Weber and Field Type. no he celle st. e lodging house door) â€"“Kind Indy.
