How Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. SES HE receipts of butter and cheese in Chicago during last year, as given below, show an in- crease over the year 1895 of 50,000,000 pounds of butter and 15,000,000 pounds of cheese. During the year , closed yesterday Yower prices have prevailed. The un- usually large production of milk, and therefore of butter and cheese, was caused by the favorable weather con- ditions throughout the summer and early fall. The year has been without precedent for good pasturage through- out the hot season, and in consequence there was little decrease in the make of butter until the latter part of Octo- ber. While in former years there was a large falling off in the make after June, enormous quantities of June but- ter were placed in cold storage in an- ticipation of the higher prices that come with a lessening in the make, and as the supply of fresh stock kept up through the summer he¥ers of storage stock grew anxious, Sut the fall developed a good demand for it, and the year 1896 closed with cold- storage goods well cleaned up. Much of this overproduction of butter found a ready sale in foreign markets. Hand- lers of butter are constantly on the lookout for markets in which to ad- ter. The causes of increased produc- and the export trade was a factor to- ward that end in the last year. This trade is growing, as is shown by the fact that in 1895 the United States ex- ported 15,647,500 pounds, and in 1896 sent abroad 26,320,000 pounds of but- ter. The causes of increased produc- tion of butter apply also to the large make of cheese in 1896. But in addi- tion to this the passage of the “filled- cheese” law was of incalculable value to this industry, and also of great ben- efit to the entire dairy interests of the country. While the data at hand show @ marked improvement in the con- sumption of cheese’ at home, there has been but little more exported in 1896 than in 1895.

Cayenne pepper is doubtless bene- ficial to poultry, especially in winter, provided of course it is used with prop- er limitations. A teaspoonful, twice a week, for fifty fowls is an abundance. Still less will be required in summer. There is no use in overdoing the thing, and one had better use no stimulating spices than to feed an _ excessive amount. The only idea is to warm up the system in cold weather, ward off colds and chills, and promote digestion. A little pepper is good. Too much is an injury. Snow is with us and the poultryman will have considerable work on hand, not only to shovel paths, but also to open up areas where the fowls may come out, and exercise them- selves. A hen is very helpless in deep snow. She cannot walk, nor can she get upon the wing without much trou- ble. Hence it is quite important to provide a small space which has been cleared of snow. The snow that is to be moved may be appropriated to bank , Vigor with its owner. up against’the poultry house. In this way the cold will be kept out. How- over, it must be looked after that dur- ing a melting spell the water does not run into the house. Drainage must of course be good. Unfortunate indeed is the family who cannot produce its own eggs and thus have the satisfaction of knowing they are fresh and good, and of tasting their delicious flavor. There are many pleasures and luxuries connected with fowl culture that are independent of mere pecuniary ad- vantages. As the weather becomes cold, collect the eggs oftener. For them to freeze means the loss of their sale. Really the poultry house should be sufficiently warm and snug so that the eggs will not freeze in any ordi- nary winter weather. Frequent collec- tions are still more essential when the eggs are to be preserved for hatching purposes. Wet, damp houses and yards are the source of much disease and ill health to poultry. After a shower the drainage should be sufficient to take off all surface water. The inside of the poultry house should be elevated slight- ly so as to admit of no influx of water from without. Fowls will stand cold better by far than dampness and filth. Lice are not so rampant at present as they were last summer, but yet they are still in existence. The “red mites” will be found in cracks and holes on and near the perches. Soak them in kerosene occasionally and they will give up the struggle. The dust bath in a sunny corner of the fowl house is an institution that should never be missing, and it should also be replen- ished and renewed from time to time, W. P. Perkins. What One Boy Did. Although we have spoken several times recently on the subject of poul- try raising by the young folks, we can- not refrain from telling the boys and girls what a gentleman in this city told us not long since about his boy, says the Poultry World. This account was such an apt illustration of what we have recently endeavored to impress on cur readers that we will give it to them. At the age of ten years this boy began keeping poultry. His father built him a fowl house for which noth- ing was ever paid by the son, but this was the only expense which was not borne by the young fancier himself. He kept White Leghorns and his spare time out of school was devoted to car- ing for and enjoying the flock. He worked at the business and it was good for him. It taught him regularity and involved responsibilities in seeing that his pets did not suffer. When he reach- ed the age of twenty he went into his father’s office. His bank book at that time showed a balance in his fa- vor of $1,000, cleared from his poultry while he attended school. Those who think it “not worth the trouble” may ponder this result with edification to themselves. That one thousand dollars was worth more than one hundred thousand cents to the land. It repre- sented more than money. It was ma- terial evidence of much that could not be expressed in dimes and dollars. To begin with, it associated health and Business habits also were necessarily formed in the course of that decade which would be useful in future. Independence was in- dicated, a sense of being of some im- portance and the means of doing for himself were accompanying features. All these are worth much, and many a worried father and distracted mother who wish that the boys had something to do “that they like to do and amount to something,” would do well to follow the course adopted by his father. A Valuable Herd. Mr. George S. Angus of Kossuth County, postoffice Burt, publishes in the Burt Monitor the following report of the earnings of twelve cows for the year: “Whole number of cows milked during the year was 12, number of pounds of milk taken to the factory was 70,141, which would be 5,844 pounds per cow. Milk sold for 512.90; skim- milk, at 10 cents a hundred, $7.12; 12 calves this year are worth at least $60; total $643.13; $53.59 apiece. I noticed last year that some in writing gave the average number of cows milked during the year, which I do not think is the right way. I give the whole num- ber that was milked during the year, whether it was for ten or only two months: Ifa man has to have 15 cows to milk, say an average of 10, then he should count them as 15 and not 10. Our milk sold for 73 per hundred, which was two cents below the average price paid at the factory. We aim to milk them 11 months in the year, com- mencing about November or Decem- ber, as a cow will feed all winter, and milked will give as much milk the fol- lowing summer as the half-fed cow coming in in the spring.” Poultry Runs. Farmers are not, as are city people, restricted for range for their poultry, ‘Therefore the birds should always have large ranges. The range should be large enough so that the grass will not be eaten off. It might be thought that this word of advice is not needed, yet we know that it is. We have our- selves seen farms where the poultry run was so limited that the earth was bare of verdure all the time. Beyond the run in mind was a grass field that should have been made to contribute to the sustenance of the poultry. There is another point about having a grass run for the poultry so large that the grass cannot be eaten off. That is, that grass is a cheaper food for poul- try, as a part ration, than almost any other. The grass not only is a cheap food, but a healthful food, and one that seems to stimulate egg production. The blades of grass attract insects, such as grasshoppers, and thus contribute to the supply of flesh-food, so much “iked by poultry. Wire for fencing costs lit- tle; therefore there is no reason why a large poultry run should not be an accessory to every farm, His Limits. “Have you learned any fancy meth- ods of skating?’ asked the young wo- man. “No,” replied Willie Wishington. “I can skate only two ways.” “Which are they?” ‘Standing up and sitting down.’”— Washinfton Star.

Those who possess choice pearl kings should know that while clear,pure water does not injure the gem, soap and water will soon affect their luster and color, and will, in time, cause them to peel or shed an outer coat. This crumbling, however, takes place even when the gems are most carefully treated, and when the tendency is not- ed, the ring or brooch or necklace should be promptly taken to a jeweler. The course of treatment often pre- scribed by that authority is that of the rest cure. Put it aside in its box, care- fully closed from light and air, and in a few weeks, or, possibly, a month or two, this lying fallow will often re- store the original beauty and health of the choicest gem.
