■Fattening: Swine With Corn.
While tills' practice Is by no means
to be commended, for the reason that
it is not so profitableoreconomical, and
often prepares tlie* way for disease by
getting tlie digestive organs in an un¬
healthy condition, yet by those who
persist in this way of feeding, some
suggestions as to the uses and abuses
of corn as a feed for hogs may be
acceptable.
In the first place, it is necessary to
grow that variety of corn which con¬
tains the largest per cent, of protein,
tlie flesh or muscle making constituent
which is essential for the proper de¬
velopment of the frame of any young
animal. This corn may be obtained
by hand selection, but the better way
is to purchase the seed from a repu¬
table seed corn breeder. There is a
general opinion prevailing that yellow
corn is of higher feeding value than
the white varieties. If this is true, it
is because the yellow corn contains
more protein and less starch than tlie
white, as a class. There is undoubted¬
ly a difference in varieties of either
color, but in all varieties it is essential
that the planting should be early
enough for the corn to thoroughly ma¬
ture without injury by frost.—Orange
Judd Farmer.
Sinking Hone ami Muscle.
Assuming that the fowls will linvc
more or less range during the summer,
it is a good time to experiment some in
grain feeding in order to determine
which combination gives the best re¬
sults. With the pullets who are to
lay tho coming fall and winter the
main thing is to feed them so they will
get bone and muscle and just the right
amount of plumpness; this they cannot
do wholly on grass and a little grain.
Take a liberal ration of various grains
and figure that the pasture is furnish¬
ing only green food anil animal food in
the shape of insects and feed the grain
as one would if the fowls were in con¬
finement. If they get too fat cut down
the ration or change it gradually, nil
the time carefully noting results.
By this plan of operation and carry¬
ing it into tlie fall the pullets ought to
go into winter quarters in prime condi¬
tion, and you be in a position to know
to a nicety just what combination of
grains will give tlie best results; bear
in mind, however, that, the 'supply of
green food pud of animal meal must lie
furnished in some form during the
fall and winter in order fo obtain re¬
sults. It i<f unfair to expect results
when we cut off the green food which
has done so much for the birds during
the summer.—Indianapolis News.
To Make a Wool llox.
Take three boards ten inches wide
and thirty inches long; the two side
hoards are loft whole, but the centre
one is sawed twice, making throe
pieces, each ten inches square. The
three pieces of tlie centre board arc
hinged and tlie side boards also hinged
to the middle board. Tho side boards
must have springs let into tlie wood
to bold the end pieces after tliev are
pressed in place. The lumber used
should be inch, dressed on both sides.
Little slots should be cut in the boards
as indicated to bold the wool twine;
these should be out wedge shaped.

so as to draw the string in tight,
Gather up the fleece in your arms and
put it with as little mussing as possible
the white side towards tlie board,
turn tlie edges over so none will hang
over tlie edge of board and then turn
the sides of the board up and with
the long hooks fasten them together.
Now roll the edges of tlie fleece in a
little and press the ends up in place
or until they pass the springs and they
fly back in place so as to bold
Now you have your fleece in a square
form and are ready to bring the ends
of the string together and tie each
loose end into a loop. Unhook the sides
and the board will fly back flat and
leave a very nice square bundle well
tied. For coarse wool use a
inch box instead of ten inch.—C. M.

Kaldins Calves €»n Skim Milk.
Almost any stock can be raised
out sweet milk better than calves,
Hogs may be successfully grown or
suitable grains, ground and cooked,
but not so with calves. They should
have sweet milk or else their appetites
fail and they do no good. It is often
the case where cows are kept for dairy
purposes that the calves are failures.
If they can have the skim milk before
it sours they will do well, for the oil
which is removed in the cream can be
replaced by adding a little oil meai or
oil cake. It should be scalded before
mixing with the milk to render the
oil more soluble. One of tlie common
est errors in feeding calves is that of
thickening the skim milk with corn
meal or bran. Our experience has
been that calves, after partaking of a
few meals of that bill of fare, lose their
appetites and have indigestion and
dretl disorders. Oats and bran are
good for calves, but we have best
Cfss m feeding it in a,dry condition.
They eat slowly fr*L but as they
grow larger and tli? system demands
more nourishm at they eat more. Eat
ing such food in a dry state causes
them to need more water, especially in
warm weather, but they can soon be
trained to drink water by offering them
clean, pure water when thirsty before
feeding the milk. Calves fed this way
should do well if of good, well bred,
healthy slock.—Thomas W. Lloyd, in
Tribune-Farmer.
It Pays to liaise Poultry.
Poultry is and has been, since the
“feathered flock in the dooryard” be¬
came known 1o the human family, a
needful adjunct to the table: produc¬
ing eggs and meat, according to the
need of the day, in abundance: After
one decides to raise poultry, the next
question arises. What breed sliali I
raise? Can I make scrub stock do?
Yes, you can make scrub stock do, if
you are so situated or located that you
cannot get the pure bred stock—for
home use the common fowl docs quite
well except it may not lay as many
eggs as a pure bred hen would. There
is not quite so much meat on them, and
when you wish to sell eggs for setting
they only bring you the market price, \
while those of pure breeds of recog¬
nized stock will bring twice the mar
kid: price when sold by the “setting.”
Now for mother hens l prefer such
liens as the P.uff Cochin or Dominique
or Bralmia.- They cover the eggs more
comfortably when set and have also
the advantage of being able to cover
tlie chicks until they are feathered,
And when they are used for meat on
tlie table you have more of it than
you could get from a Black Spanish or
Brown Leghorn. But for laying quaii
ties, I bet on the Spanish and Leghorn
hens every time. They like fo forage,
and if they are placed on a good
range will pick up a large part of ,
their- food. True, they lay a smaller
egg, but it brings as much in the mar¬
ket as the Cochin eggs, and they have
the advantage of “keeping on,” laying j
an egg every day. year in and out un¬
less allowed to hatch and raise chick¬
ens. I always keep some Cochins i
for mothers and use the Cochin eggs !
on tltc table. I keep tliese liens in a
run by themselves with a few cocks.
When they set I put Leghorn eggs un¬
der them. The Leghorns or layers I
keep in a large park or the orchard
where they may range to suit them¬
selves. I sell all the eggs the Leghorns
or Spanish liens lay—only reserving
enough eggs to use for hatching pur¬
poses—I buy “settings" of eggs from i
poultry breeders to furnish cocks every
year or two so that my flock will not
become diseased or puny from inltreed
ing.—Cecil -Abel Todd, in The Dpi to*
mist.
Making Goorl Honey.
Tlie modern apiarist must of neees
shy u e e foundation if be wishes
straight combs that can be emptied by
extracting, or choice, fancy section
lioney comb honey, and nothing else
will sell in tlie markets to-day.
The broken, dark lioney of our grand¬
father's days cannot be sold at any
price. Sugar syrup could be fed to the
bees to put in boxes, but it would still
be sugar syrup and taste like it, and
not like lioney, and so much of it would
be used by Ihe bees tor increased brood
rearing that it would not be profit¬
able even if it were honest.
Extracted honey can be best raised
by the farmer and comb by the spe¬
cialist,’ since it requires more skill
and experience to produce the latter,
and when raising it the bees usually
swarm in the farmer’s busiest season,
the haying time, and if not immediate¬
ly hived go to tlie woods and the profits
are gone from that eolon.v for the sea¬
son, for it is the first swarm that us
ually gathers most of the honey.
Bees dislike very much to work in
the small section boxes and sometimes
sulk and refuse to do so imtilfthe best
part of the honey flow is over, and
if more than one swarm is allowed to
issue while working for comb lioney,
very little honey is obtained from any
of them. With extracted bogey it is
very different. If plenty of empty
combs are given to'a colony in tlie be
ginning of tlie season they seldom
swarm, find with such a large working
force, a much larger amount can be
obtained. ’ In the fall, when the press
of farm work is over... tlie combs can
bo removed from the hive and placed
i'n the lioney extractor and the lioney
thrown from them by centrifugal force,
very much as cream is separated, and
tli * frames of comb can then be stored
away until another season. We have
combs that have been in use for twenty
years as good as ever for that? purpose,
Never destroy a good frame of worker
comb, for they are good property for
the beekeeper to have. Store them in
a cold, dry cellar and the wax-moth
will not trouble them. Th-'v should lie
wired, however, or they break from the
frames while extracting. Extracted
honey sometimes docs not sell quite as
readily as comb, and why? It is the
pure honey without the indigestible
wax. Physicians tell us that wax is
no more digestible in the human stom
ach than leather or India rubber, and
I believe was no more intended by our
Creator to be eaten Ilian tlie skins of
fruits or the shells of nuts.
Pure extracted honey will always
granulate or candy when exposed to
continued cold, and this is the only
positive proof of its perfect purity. It
should lie sold in that form, and then
the public could he sure of what they
were buying. But as long as there
so much distrust of granulated
it will have to be heated and
like canned fruit to keep it liquid,
Most honey producers put it up
way at the present time. To sum up,
if you wish-a pure article of honey, buy
it in tlie granulated state or of
beekeeper who has a reputation to sus¬
tain—Mrs. H. S. Stockman, in
Massachusetts Ploughman.

One of the greatest finds in the his¬

of the plunderer at a time when the

trom the royal tombs to a rocky cleft
tn the Libyan Mountains where they
remained hidden until IS< 0 ., Here they
were discovered by some fellabin who
did a thriving business in the relics
found with them. After six years the
source of their precious treasure was
found out. One of these mummies was
that of Rameses III., and whose well
preserved face is seen in the picture
which was taken from liis mummy now

Tlie general assembly of Georgia
was adjourned at Atlanta sine die ac
exactly 9:40 o’clock Friday night.
During the evening session, the last
discord in the house on the general
tax act gave way to harmony by the
recession of the house from its po¬
sition on liquor taxes as regards so¬
cial clubs and dining cars. Several
other bills were passed, but most of
the evening was given over to felici¬
ties of one sort or another, including
the presentation of a handsome goltd
headed cane to Mr. Hall of Bibb by tho
new county committee.
After the final adjournment, the
members began bidding each other
farewell, while a large group gathered
in the center aisle and sang “God Bo
With You Till We Meet Again" and
"The Oid-Time Religion.”
The house on the last day of the ses
sion waded into senate bills in a busi
nesslike manner and many measures
cf importance which originated in the
upper house , were enacted . . into . . , laws.
Between senate bills now and then,
there was a report of a conference
committee on some subject or other,
the liquor tax, the reformatory bill
or appropriations, but the house stuck
to its work and senate bills were dis
posed of in prompt order. Only a few
senate measures, to which there was
some objection, or which were too
long and complex for proper consul
eration in the closing hours, were put
on the table.
The house passed bills to make
drunkenness and disorder on -public
highways a misdemeanor; to increase
the salary of the attorney.general; to
provide more superior court judges;
to make it a felony to shoot or throw
rocks into a passenger train; to re
quire sheriffs to keep bloodhounds; to
