F The Value of Skimmilk.
Tt is figured at the Connecticut Sta
tion as at least forty cents per 100
pounds for feeding to poultry, and
better results are obtained when the
milk is fed sour. Probably the high
est estimates of value are given by
the West Virginia Station, which
claims they could afford to pay one
cent a pound for skimmilk rather
than two and one-half cents per
pound for beef scraps.—Boston Cul

e A Farm Dog,
A good collie dog, when properly
trained, will drive farm animals
much more carefully and with much
less worry to them then does the ordi
nary person; and when a poor helper
and a worthless dog are set to chas
ing them look out for trouble. In
the case of cows, garget, milk fever,
bloody milk, shrinkage of milk, milk
tainted with fever, cream that will
not come to butter—these are among
the results that arise irom fright
ened, worried and overheated cows.
The owner may think himself fortu
nate if at the same time there are
no legs broken. Collies make good
dogs generally, but they are specially
fitted for this sort of service.—Home

Doors For Gable End.
There is always more or less trou
ble in finding a suitable method of
hanging doors for unloading hay from
the outside of buildings with slings.
In the accompanying plan each door
is hung on a track parallel to the
roof. The doors, of course, are a
little difficult to close, but no more

yu Males and Females. ‘
' A reader asks us if he should sell
‘the males and buy others for this
year's matings, as Lboth males and
females are from the same broods,
We think not, especially if the fowls
are good and conform to the require
ments of that particular breed.
Some of the best fanciers never
go out of their own pens to select
their breeding fowls, and by careful
gelection they gradually eliminate a
fault here and a fault there, each
Year producing fowls a little better
than they produced the previous
year,
It is not the mating of fowls from
the same blood that causes them to de
generate, but indiscriminate breeding
of different types, none of which are
good in any particular section. Of
course this applies only to fancy bred
poultry, as on the farm, as a rule,
the points to be considered are size,
vigor and laying quality. These can
all he improved by selection, and it
shows gross neglect if such is not
looked after.—Home and Farm.
i Feeding Farm Animals,
* Liberal feeding of live stock
means land improvement., Some
lands are considerably improved by
the application of lime, either in the
limestone marts or the burned lime
stone slacked. Clover is a great aid
in restoring or retaining fertility.
Underdraining is often the first step
to be taken in renovating a field.
When one is undecided as to whether
a field needs underdraining or not, it |
is always safe to give the field the
benefit of the doubt and underdrain
i |
Animals of the same variety are
not alike and scarcely any two will
do equally well on the same food:
each animal's wants should be sup
plied, if possible. Cattle of different
ages should be separated for feed
ing, as the weak ones will not do
well with the strong. Cows are
weak and shy; it takes them longer
to eat their meals and they should
therefore be put where they ecan not
be domineered by their superiors in
strength.—Agricultural Epitomist,
Pasturing I%c_ ~
In pasturing hogs I have found it
a good practice to construct a num
ber of half-acre lots, placing a port
able house in every other one and
giving a sow and her pigs an indi
vidual house. By the time they have
caten or stamped down all the green
stuff on this half acre, the house can
easily be lifted over the fence to the
" mext lot and the hogs moved where
. they will have plenty of fresh, green
. pasture, The lot they have been
taken from can then be plowed and
sowed in rye or forage crops that
grow comparatively fast, so that by
~ the time the hogs have exhausted the
second lot they can be returned to
the original one. Thus the two lots
, will support the sow and pigs until
-the pigs are old enough to wean, and
'~ will, it properly cared for, support
~ the sows the year around.
* I have also found it to be a good
y‘ncflce to have a larger lot, if pos
“sible, of from five to ten acres, to
_ turn all the pigs into after they have
been’ weaned and allow them to re
‘main there until they are four or
five months old, feeding them plenty
of ground and exercise so that they
may develop bone and muscle and be
in a good healthy condition to go
into the feed lot.
In building the portable houses it
must be remembered that they should
provide good, clean, dry sleeping
quarters.—W, H. Underwood.
Cheap Fggs For Hatching,
A reader complains that his neigh
bors buy eggs from him ostensibly
so: the table, but, in fact, for hatch
ing, and that many of them get a
start with pure bred chickens by pay
ing market price for the eggs. He
says he has no way to pen his fowls,
and consequently the females and
rales all run together. It is only
a simple matter to build a small pen
and confine enough females and one
male to get the eggs needed for
hatching, and then keep no males
with the other hens.
If a lot of males and females are
‘allowed to run at large anc the eggs
used for hatching, it will not be long
before the eggs should not sell for
more than market price. It is easier
to tear down than to build up, and
the work of developing a good breed
of fowls requiring years ma: be de
stroyed in two years at most.
Try always to improve what vou
tave even if they are mongrels, and
your trouble will well repay you.—

Notes by a Working Farmer.
Farly growth helps early ma
turity.
Regular feeding makes animals
more content.
~ To make a success of farming
avoid expenses.
- Food given to unprofitable ani
mals is wasted.
The best composted manure pro
duces the quickest results.
With a variety of stock one can
utilize all foods.
All foods for plants must be solu
ble to be available,
Best breeds do not insure most
profit without proper treatment,
A high selling price does not les
sen the cost of production,
It needs faith in your occupation
to bring about complete success.
It rarely pays to feed for a merely
possible increase in price,
It is the little economics that count
ap most in the end.
The manurial value of foods cor
responds to their nutritive value,
Underfeeding stunts gfowth and
overfeeding is a waste of food and of
time.
The richest part of any manure is
that which water will wash out.
The better food you feed the more
careful you should be of the manure.
There is more profit in growing an
animal than in fattening one already
grown,
Profitable feeding consists in giv
ing an animal all that it will eat and
digest properly.
The value of commercial fertilizers
depends on their containing the ele
ments which the soil needs.
It is not the hardest labor, but the
best directed labor that accomplishes
the best results.
Good food and shelter pay well in
elther case, but always best when
given to the best stock.
The nearer an article is put in
condition to suit the purchaser, the
better it is for the seller.
Profit in farming depends on three
factors—the cost of production, the
time consumed in producing, and the
price received, 4
An excess of any kind of food fed
to an animal beyond itas capacity of
digestion and consequent perfect
assimiliation is a waste,
The purity and high breeding of
an animal determines its power to
transmit its given properties to its
offspring.
One great principle in successful
farming is to produce the best of its
kind of everything you raise.
There is no economy in wintering
stock unless you are able to secure
a steady gain at the same time,—

Rabies.
The ““mad dog” season begins with
the warm weather, to continue as
long as heat, dust, noise and neglect
strain the nerves of dogs and men.
A homeless cur, kicked by a cruel or
thoughtless boy, runs barking
through the street. A child is bitten,
and the panic-stricken bystanders
assure it that hydrophobia will de
velop. llf their victim is sufficiently
impressionable its death follows, and
another ‘““mad dog scare” is well un
der way.
Just at present Staten Island is in
dulging in one of these unreasonable
and dangerous frights, with the aid
and assistance of certain health au
thorities. The alarm of the people is
not to be wondered at, but the fact
remains that physicians disagree as
to the existence of the disease rabies,
while men acquainted with dogs are
almost unanimous in declaring that
no such thing as the “mad dog” of
popular imagination ever existed.
Mr. Freer, of the Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals, asserts
that in fourteen years the agen.s of
the society have been bitten not less
than 15,000 times, and that not once
have the symptoms of rabies fol
lowed.
Wounds caused by animals are not
more dangerous than wounds result
ing from falls or blows. They should
be cleaned promptly and thoroughly,
cauterized or rendered aseptic in
some other way, and kept clean while
healing. If these precautions were
always taken, and people would stop
talking about rabies, the “mad dog
season” would soon cease to occupy
an important space in the calendar.—

| A Curious Musical Box.
In the South Kensington Museum
in London is a curious musical box.
It was originally the property of Tipu
(or Tippoo) Sahib, the “Tiger of My
sore,” who died in 1799, being killed
during the British assault and capture
of Seringapatam, the capital of My
sore. He always hated the British,
and to show his enmity he had this
instrument constructed. The box is
a life-sized statuary group showing
the symbolic tiger of India at the
throat of England, represented by a
British officer. When Tipu wished to
amuse his court, one of his attendants
turned a handle, when the tiger
emitted horrible growls and the man
raised and lowered his arms and ut
tered terrifying shrieks. Inside the
tiger are four rows of pipes and a set
of ivory keys, which are either of
French or British manufacture.—Chi

In the ordinary proeess of washing
textile goods by hand it is customary
to rub the goods over corrugated
washboards or like surfaces, by which
with the aid of water and some deter

to remove the dirt. The object of the
device shown in the accompanying il

It consists of an arrangement of a se

continually forces the water and soap

early last spring, melon growers in

stopped killing non-poisonous snakes,
and this year the wisdom of the
agreement is chown. Heretofore
melon’ growers have had their fields

which burrowed into the hills, eating
the planted seed. It was decided to
keep the mice in check by not killing
snakes. This year few mice are seen,

Working For Common Good,
Too much cannot be said in regard
to the good roads movement, which
is steadily increasing throughout the
country, says the Cycle and Automo
bile Trade Journal. The bettering of
road conditions has been discussed
for year, but the actual work of im
proving conditions has progressed
but slowly until now. The advent of
the automobile, and its growing num
bers and popularity, has probably
for years, but tlie actual work of im
provements than any other one pre
vious agency. The farmer for years
has been content to plod along at a
snail’s pace over all but impassable
roads, but just as soon as the same
farmer becomes the proud possessor
of an automobile, no matter how an
tiquated, he immediately becomesi
dissatisfied with the road that wasi
previously good enough and forth-‘
with joins either the rants of the‘
good roads workers or the larger fra- ‘
ternity of “kickers,” who, however,
help along the agitation. One of the
silent workers for the cause of goodi
roads is the stationary gasolene Chi
gine, which is surely, if slowly, euu
cating the male members of the farm
ing communities to the use of the in
ternal combustion engine, from which
it is but a step to the use of the auto
mobile. The prevalence of these
small stationary engines in the rural
districts is ‘increasing at a rapid rate,
and already many farmers have
through their use been led to take up
the automobile.
| Another feature which is also
- working for the common good is the
fact that the horses are graduaily be
coming accustomed to the autom>3-
| bile, there are fewer accidents, and
this fruitful source of antagonism to
ward the motorist and everything for
which he stood has been to a large
extent removed. The introduction of
the high wheel type of aute has also
had its share in influencing the farm
ers of our country districts toward a
more friendly attitude so the self
propelled vehicle, for in the buggy
type was apparently recognized an
old friend without the limitations im
posed by the horse. In fazt the mod
ern buggy type of automobile fulfils
the dream of more than one mechani
cally inclined American farmer, and
has already done much, and in the
near future will do more, to change
his attitude toward automobiling.
With motoring becoming almost uni
versal and the old antagonism of the
members of our farming community
a thing of the past it is but a ques
tion of time when our country will
be interlaced with as splendid a sys
tem of highways .as those seen in
many European countries, for as a
~unit all will be working toward the
one long cherished ideal— the perfoct
highway. i
| New York State Roads. .
The New York to Parls automobila
race, in its early stages, has served
strongly to impress upon the publie
mind the generally bad condition of
the roads in the Empire State. All
owners of motor cars have known of
this condition, and complaints of it
have been frequent and severe. New
York, with all its agricultural and
manufacturing wealth, is far behind
New England and some of the States
of the Middle West in many internal
improvements.
The traveler through the rural dis
tricts of this State, especially if he
has recent memories of the Massachu
setts country, is struck by the pre
dominance of the dirt road, as weil
as by the overgrown gardens, the
shabby farmhouses, the ancient
barns. The towns are full of brisk
life, the factories are busy. There is
plenty of wealth. Ours is supposed
to be a proud State. But all the
pride seems to centre in the cities and
the big public buildings, the churches
and libr#ries. Trolley railroads run
along many of the country thorough
fares, and the damage done to the
roads in building them is often not
properly repaired.
The winter struggle across this
State of the contestants in the great
automobile race ought to awaken
every public spirited citizen of New
York State to the need of continuing
the expenditures for good roads. The
snowdrifts have been among the
slightest obstacles the motorists hava
encountered.—New York Times Edi.
torial.
Bad Roads, Indeed, s
It is no wonder that the grangers
are speaking pieces in favor of bet
ter roads, as the mud is something
formidable on the country roads. At
East Longmeadow, Mass., one of the
churches was closed Sunday on a.-
count of the muddy condition of the
roads. A Hartford funeral party,
driving to Cromwell, found the roads.
impassable in some places, rendering
it necessary to take to the fields. The
milkmen and teamsters declare that
they ‘‘never saw the beat of it,"”” and
the chauffeur who gets off the Mmacs
adam is entitled to a premium.—

“I am glad to write my endorse
ment of the great remedy, Peruna. I
dosomostheartily.’’--Julta Marlowe.
Any remedy that benefits digestion
strengthens the nerves.
The nerve centers require nutrition. If
the digestion is impair:«?, the nerve centers
become anemic, and nervous debility is the
result.
PS4O SIS S 0
Peruna is not a nervine nor a
stimulant. It benefits the nerves
by benefiting digestion.
Peruna frees the stomach of catarrhal
confiestions and normal digestion is the
resulit.
In other words, Peruna goes to the bot
tom of the whole difficulty, when the dis
agreeable symptoms disappear.
Mrs. J. C.. Jamison, Wallace, Cal.,
writes:
“I was troubled with my stomach for
six years. Was treated by three doctors.
They said that I had nervous dyspepsia.
I was put on a liquid diet for three months.
“I improved under the treatment, but as
soon as I stopped taking the med’icine, I
got bad again. g
“I saw a testimonial of a man whose
case was similar to mine being cured by
Pgr}ma, so I thought I woul(f give it a
trial.
“I procured a bottle at once and com
menced taking it. I have taken several
bottles and am entirely cured.”

TWO WATERS FROM ONE WELL.
Twin Pumps Draw Up Fresh Water
and Mineral Waters,
Salt water and fresh water from
the same well is an Ohio novelty dis
covered by a member of the United
States Geographical Survey engaged
in making investigations of ground
water conditions in Hamilton county.
Except for the fact that two pumps
are set in it side by gide, it resem
bles an ordinary well. But one of
the pumps supplies water excellent
to taste, whereas the water from the
other s so highly charged with vari
ous mineral salts that it is almost
brine. This water has been recom
mended by some physicians as hav
ing big medicinal value,.
When first dug the well was a
great wonder. The secret of the
phenomenon lies in the fact that two
water bearing beds confined between
layars of Ilimestone occur at this
point, the upper carying fresh wa
ter and the lower salt. ™The pipe
of the fresh water pump is but six
teen feet long, and that of the salt
water pump is thirty-five fest. The
brine, being heavier than the fresh
water, does not mix with it, but re
mains at the bottom of the well, and
the longer pipe consequently draws
only the salt water.—Cincinnati cor
