Several boys gathered. ey asked him what He was looking ‘or. “Lost somethin’,” he replied; “may- be five cent, maybe five dol-hic-lar gold piece—I don’t know which.” The boys aided in the search. The grourd was steadier to them, and they soon became satisfied that the man had lost nothing in that spot. They held a whispered conference. Then two ran away. The others yelled sud- denly to the man: “Say, boss, those fellows found your money and they're running away!” The man straightened up with a jerk. He became almost dignified. “You're all liars!” he yelled back; “they didn’t find nothin’, ‘cause I ain’t lost nothin’.” He staggered down the street chuckling—New York Commer- cial Advertiser.

INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. How Successfal Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poaltry. Breeding Ayrshires, In a paper read at a recent meeting of Ayrshire breeders in New York, Secretary C. M. Winslow laid down the following principles for the guidance of breeders: Of course the first point to lay down for perfection is the actual yield of milk and butter, and whatever else is sacrificed, this must be retained al- ways, and built up by every means available. Constitution must back up this dairy prominence, or it amounts to little. With dairy yield and constitu- tion, one will naturally have as a Se quence the smal] head, the thin shoul- ders, the large barrel with arched ribs, the capacious udder, large milk veins and holes. The breeder has then a geod dairy cow, and he must hold on to that and add to it, and then polish her up with what might be called the non-essentials. The udder must be shaped to a proper form, bred up be- hind arfd out in front and on the sides, until the cow can hardly walk when it is full. The sole of the udder must be brought down to a level, and the teats moved to the four corners of the udder. In doing all this, you will probably have shortened the teats so that it will trouble you to obtain the amount of milk your new cow will give, and you must breed them longer and still hold all you have got. Then you must square up the rump, and carry out the tai] so that it will drop off suddenly at right angles. All this time you must watch the loin, to keep tip thé strength of your machine. After you have done all this, you may give her some small upright horns, and place a broad flanders escutcheon on your cow, and you may give her any combination of red, brown and white, except a roan; and you will have at- tained your object—a perfect Ayrshire cow, Now to do all this a man cannot stay at home and work up perfection. out of his own herd. Nor can he send to some noted breeder and buy a bull calf at random in the hope of its nicking with his own herd and intensi- fying the good qualities and eliminat- ing the defects; but he should have the ideal type so firmly ‘fixed in his own mind that he knows clearly what his best cows lack in making them per- fect, and he should find a bull that will build up the point that is most lacking in his most perfect cow, bear- ing in mind the dairy quality always, so as to keep that on the increase, or at least not to go backward. Some- times he will need a bull strong in one of the minor points and sometimes in another; and after all his pains and trouble he may find he made a mistake in the use of the most carefully se- lected bull, because of some prepon- derance of strong blood that swerves the offspring out of the line he hoped for, and he has to try again. In order to do all this, it is neces- sary for the breeder personally to in- spect the dam and her relations, as far as he can, of the bull he proposes to use in his herd; and the higher he reaches in his attempts for perfection, the more necessary the personal know!l- edge of the ancestry of the proposed addition to his herd. He should not wait until he needs a bull, but should plan ahead and be on the lookout for just what he is likely to need in the near future, and have the dam of a future bull in his mind; and he may, br a little advice, manage to have her coupled so as still more to aid him in obtaining what he needs. No one bull will be suitable for all the herd; but if the breeder is not situated so that he can keep more than one, he can breed the top of his herd right and let the other end take care of itself. One very important help in all this is always to keep the best animals you raise, and weed out the poorest. There is always a market for the poor- est, either to the butcher or the city milkman. In my own herd, if a cow dc2s not suit me or come up to my standard of excellence, I can always sell her as a new milch cow, to go to Brighton. The drovers are glad to get them, and will pay me the high- est market price for a fancy cow and let me keep her calf and her pedigree; and she goes to market as a common cow. a Clover for Brood Sows. One of the best hog raisers of our acquaintance is a clover crank in a very unusual and a very profitable di- rection, says an exchange. If he has a plece of lodged clover, he runs his mower over it in the same direction in which it is lodged and clips off the blossoms and a few inches of the stalk. When he has enough for his purpose ‘he runs the mower the other way and cuts off as much of the stalk as possi- ble and puts this in with the rest of his hay. The first he uses for his hogs exclusively, the second for his cattle. When he has not enough of lodged clover to secure the blossoms for his hogs, he runs his cattle hay through a chaffer and in either case mixes the clover with meal and steeps it in hot water, and thus makes a mess which makes young pigs grow like ‘a western corn field in June and fits the sows for the production of large, vigorous litters. We believe his plan is a good one where the farmer grows but few hogs and can do the work. Fortunate is the man who has enough of clover, blossoms and all, but we once more urge our readers, and es- pecially those whose brood sows are following cattle, to give their hogs all the clover that they can possibly get them to eat. It is needed because hogs need a variety and they are usuaily fond of clover hay. @ is needed es- pecially ty brood sows and young pig: to balance up the all corn ration. Poultry Suggestions. B. H. Westlake publishes the follow- ing suggestions: Feed green bone to young turkeys if you want large boned and strong tur- keys. Use insect powder on your turks to kill lice. It is harmless. a powder gun te put it on with. As a safeguard against lice, all young turkeys should be well dusted, at least once a week, with fresh insect powder, and especially in the down and under their wings. If your fowls are drooping, examine them for lice. When the hens have the range of a field, with plenty of grass and insects, pulverized charcoal will often prove beneficial in preventing bowel disease. For debilitated fowls, or for chicks that have leg weakness, add a_ tea- spoonful of chloride of iron to each gallon of drinking water. It is harm- less, and will prove beneficial in many cases, though it is not a “cure all.” Do not fail to raise a small patch of Mammoth Sunflower Seed for your fowls, It will keep them in health and put good results in the egg basket. Do not fall into bad habits in your. care of poultry. The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken. Statistics show that more money is spent in the United States for eggs than for fiour. Farmers should look after their poultry and improve it by getting the best stock. Don’t buy cheap breeding stock. Breed only from your best fowls, and get a good cock to improve your stock. Keep your poultry houses and coops whitewashed, and keep them clean and dry to preyent disease, and do not al- low your fowls to roost near a draft. If this is followed with good, sound, healthy food, you will not have muck trouble with disease, young Use Tape Worm. The following appears in Farm Poul- try: “Please tell me what is the matter with my Barred Plymouth Rock cock- ere]. He has always had a ravenous appetite, and has now. He eats more than any other bird on the place, but food does not seem to do himt any good. He would make a good example for a living skeleton. Although he eats so well he has lost steadily in weight for some time. He is now noth- ing but skin and bones, and seems weak and dumpish; comb and wattles are pale and limp. He seemed all right } when I housed my birds last fall. His bowels seem all right, but sometimes I notice white patches in the droppings. “SHED? The cockerel probably has a tape worm. Pen him py himself, and be sure to burn all droppings, so that other fowls may escape infection. In place of his morning feed, give him two tablespoonfuls of warm milk, to which two drops of spirits. of turpentine has been added. Peel and crush a small handful of pumpkin seeds, and make into a paste with a little milk. Make him eat all you can force him to of this pumpkin seed paste; give no other food. Do not feed at supper time, but give a half-teaspoonful to a teaspoon- ful of castor oil. If you follow the directions and the bird has a tape worm, there is no doubt about the re- sults. Soon after the purgative dose the tape worm will be expelled, head, tail, and all. With the unwelcome guest evicted, the cockerel’s chances cf return to health are good. Possible Tricks in Testing. The New Zealand Dairyman has dis- covered that not all men that test milk are honest. A dairy expert in an article in that paper says: “Again I have to report a certain amount of dissatisfaction among milk suppliers on this question—milk test- ing. I cannot but repeat the sugges- tion made in previous reports, that the testing should be placed in inde- pendent hands. Ten or twelve fac- tories should unite and appoint a com- petent and reliable tester who would have no interest in giving other than a true reading of the test. I regret to say that I came across several in- stances where the suspicions of the suppliers were not entirely unjusti- fied. In one caSe samples were col- lected carefully every morning and as carefully thrown out every afternoon, the manager being ‘too busy’ to test, yet his suppliers thought they were be- ing paid according to quality. In an- other factory any losses of butter fat brought. about by skimming or im- proper churning were accounted for by deducting a point or two all around from the test. In one district we came across two factories where great riv- alry existed between the managers as to which could make the most co-m- mercial butter from a pound of-butter fat. The method adopted was to turn the machine at half speed. In this way the test reading was about two points, or 5 to 6 per cent lower than it should have been. May for Hatching.—We have as a rule had the best results from eggs put ‘in the machine during the month of May. After mild weather has come the fowls get vigorous, active, and healthy, and this is necessary to have fertility in the eggs. We do not take time or trouble to test the eggs, as the infertile egg cannot be detected un- til it has been in the machine severa] days, and then if taken out it would leave too much space for the other eggs to roll around. If any become offen- sive, their presence is very quickly noticed, and such ones can be removed, —Practical Farmer.
