I tare two Inquiries from readers
of your Journal Hiking tne about pro
paring poultry to (bow. write SIJ
Congtr In Northwestern Horseman and
Stockman. 1 have no secrets about the
business. Uurlng Juno and July, or
aa toon ns I am through setting egg
and railing chickens, I take out the
mott forward moulted liens and cocks,
put ttio heni to themselves In a yard
or lot, and keep the cock and cocker
ela nny from them If possible when
they aro moulting, as llioy tear the
old and new feathers off and make
thorn ragged. I feed them n variety of
food, fruit of any kind, a little meat
or ground bono twlco a week giro
thorn anything that haa Iron or sul
phur In It to hasten the moulting, and
It tho feathers break In wings, tall and
feet t pull tho old dead feathers out
on tho same principle, that you would
cut dead limbs off a tree. It you giro
thorn proper feed tho old feathers will
usually droa out fast enough. If you
can get them out by feeding or pull
tho old dead broken feathers out atx
weeks before tho fairs and shows, you
will then liavo new ones In tlmo to
show. Now yuu want to go through
all your stock carefully for foul fea
thers or feathers that disqualify, and
tako your chickens up at least n week
before, you start to tho show. Do this
by shutting them up In a coop and
working around them and near them,
feeding and watering them In a coop.
Handle them twice a day for several
.days, and they wilt soon get tamo and
show much better and the Judge can
handle your stock to advantage. If
I tegs are dirty wash them Just the samo
i as you would wash your dirty hands.
p If the legs are rough on the old birds
make a strong soap suds, hot as they
can stand It, and mako them stand In
j It an hour; then wash oft all tho soap
suds and oil the legs with good sweet
oil and In a few days all tho rough
will disappear. If the plumage Is dirty
wash them thoroughly and be sura and
, got all the dirt out, and then rlnso
I thern clean and clear of all soap and
put them In a coop with plenty of clean
straw In It. Eet them In A warm placo
; In the sun or by a Are and In six
l "
hours you will bavo tho nicest, clean-
i est, whitest birds you ever saw. It
I Is easy to do It It you aro not afraid
' of mussing tho chickens; tho only so
1 ' cret Is to be suro and get It rinsed
I out clean of soap and to let It dry
, thoroughly. I rlnso them the last tlmo
. In a tub of cool water; this seoms to
close tho pores on the fowls and pre-
1 vents them from taking cold. At the
' ' H fairs and shows confine your stock as
. I near as possible to a grain diet, with
Just a little green food-onions, cab-
bage, etc. Clean jour coops of all
01th twice n day and put In a little
fresh bedding. Oats or wheat chaff are
tbo best, or any fine bedding that they
can scratch In and keep stirred up,
II coarse straw Is not good, lly comparing
It at tbo shows you will soon know It
i It Is all right or not, and know where
s It nerds Improving. This way, and
L. this only, Is the way to tell It you real
,. ly have good stock or not; compare
r. with tho other fellows; It you have
better than they then you will and
many buyers.

Illinois lUllroads rod !.! Sloth.
No reductions are to be made by the
Illinois railroads In tho transportation
j', of Illinois live, stock, so say the rail
road commissioners. About a year ago
numerous stock shippers mado com
plaint to the commission that the rail-
s roads of this stato wero charging ex-
n cesslve rates, thereby causing dlecrlnil-
,( nation against Illinois markets. In
lt answer to these charges the railroads
presented a mass of testimony on the
subject of IImi stock rates. After the
" most careful consideration tho com-
' mission his decided that tho rate
it now charged by tho railroads of Illl-
r- noli afford no Just ground for com-
m plaint by shippers.
g. The decision In part says:
0 "The annual report of this board for
the year ending June 10, 1117, shows
that there wm a total decrees In the
revenues of the rosds In Illinois of
tt.3M.6ll. This decrease of revenues
affected the employes more than any
one els. Tor the same year there was
a decrease In the number of employes
of 3,161, and a dcr In the amount
of salaries paid of over Jl.OOXMW In
this ease a petition was presented to
the commission signed by 20,000 rail
road emptors asking (bat tho com
mission make no reduction In tho
present lle stock rates.
"The preeeut schedule of maximum
rates on live stock has been In force
since July I, IS95, at which time a
general revision of the Khedulo of
maximum rates on nit commodities
was made. Comparing the rntes ou
Iho stock In Illinois with the mu
In other Western states, practically I
occupying tho same teirltory. It will
bo found, almost without a single ex
ception, that the live stork rntes In
Illinois are materially lower than In
any other Western state. It Is shots n
In this enso that an nrrage train of
live stock consists of about twenty
five cars, whilo an ntcrage train of
dead freight conslsta of about thirty
flvo cars. A stock train Is required
to make quick time. Any delay la
tho occasion for n claim for damages,
should thero bo an unfavorable change
In the market price to the shipper.
It an accident occurs by which stock
Is Injured, tho loss Is necessarily great,
as compared with accidents to dead
freight. Tho proof shows that freo
transportation Is git en to persons
traveling with their stock, and under
tho law It theso persons nro Injured
whllo traveling on these stock trains,
growing out of any negligence of the
railroad company, they are entitled to
recocr damages, the aame as parties
traveling on passenger trains. It Is
further shown that a car load of stock
shipped In a standard car Is more valu
able, than any other class of freight,
and yet the revenue derived by tho
railroad company, under tho present
rates. Is less than on brick, lumber,
salt and a largo number of other Items
of dead freight which might be named.
"The representatives of the railroad
companies have stated to the commis
sion their willingness to tako off the
12 terminal charge, provided the Un
ion Stock Yards and Transit company
will take off the trackago charge which
they mako to the railroad company
for tho use of tholr tracks. It Is shown
by the railroad companies that the
12 charged will not more than cover
tho trackage charge Imposed by tho
Union Block Yards and Transit com
pany, and tho cost of furnishing en
gines and crews to handle the stock to
tho Union stock yards. Tho commis
sion has been unable to secure any
agreement between tho stock yards
company and the railroad companies
In regard to these charges. After con
sidering all tho testimony offered, and
having heard tho arguments of coun
sel, It Is tho opinion of the commission
that thero should bo no reduction
made In the present schedulo of live
stock rates now In force In the stato
of Illinois. The petition will there
fore be denied."
Dairy IMucalloii la IKnMsrk,
Another evidence of the determina
tion of the dairymen of Denmark to
keep their butter product in the front
rank was seen In tho result of a re
cent meeting of tho members of the
Central Jutland Dairy Union at Aar
bus, says N. Y. Produce Ilevlew. After
a very full discussion of the varied In
terests of tho business, especially along
the lino of a further Improvement In
the quality of the butter, a aerie of
resolutions wore passed setting forth
the "necessity of establishing extended
schools for dairymen and dairymaids,
combined with an experimental labo
rato , enabling tho pupils to, at tho
same time and placo, extend their the
oretical and practical knowledge of
buttermaklns, as tho Instruction hith
erto given to them at the ordinary
dairy educational establishments roust
js considered utterly Insufllclont." The
Danes have noted tho rapid rise of the
lalry Industry In other countries, and
they fully appreciate the fact that to
auld tbo high position that Denmark
to ooeupled for so many years past
it will be noeestsary to avail herself of
ihe larger knowledge that sclinllflc
research Is constantly bringing to the
lalry world.

C It Marshall: On every side milk
men are confronted with undesirable
changes In their milk, due to causes
oftentimes concealed from them. How
to prevent these change and secure s
product which Is desirable to their
customers are vexing questions, and
they are usually left unanswered. Milk
Is n rich food for bacteria. In the
udder of n cow free from disease the
milk Is free from bacteria. It Is on
the way through the milk duct and
Us contact with the dust of the air,
tho banda of the milker, the dirt ot
the pall, that milk becomes richly In
oculated or contaminated with bac
teria This Inoculation or contami
nation Is governed In rlchnes In pro
portion to the amount of filth that
surrounds the milking process. It U
possible to draw milk from the ndder
ot a row without Introducing thou
sands ot bacteria, but this Is not real
lied by the usual methods ot milking.
It Is safe to say, nevertheless, that
tho number of bacteria will bo di
minished as the cleanliness Is In
creased, It Is a common experience
among milkmen to liavo their milk
sour while distributing It, This Is
more likely to occur during extremely
warm and muggy weather. If wo
stop for n moment to consider how
this souring takes place. It will b
easy, from n rational standpoint, to
reduce the chsners by Introducing
safe methods ot handling. The bac
teria that cause the souring ot milk
aro very abundant In dairies, on tho
utensils, and In tho dust of Iho air,
the clothes and hands ot tho mllksr.
In fact everywhere. Having once
gained entrance to tho milk, a splen
did food for bacteria, they multiply
tory rapidly, so that a thousand with
in tho courso of a few hours Inoresse
to many millions. They feed upon
tho sugar ot the milk, and by so do
ing convert It Into an acid which. In
turn, curdle tho milk. Ilacterla, like
plants, grow much moro rapidly whsn
tho temperature Is suitable, as we find
It In warm, muggy weather. It the
atmospheric temperature Is cold or
the milk Is cold, tbey ate restrained
In their development, consequently
tho milk remains sweet much longer.
A practical lesson might be drawn
here vthlch would be of great value
If borne In mind. Cool tho milk aa
soon as It comes from the cow, and
keep It cold until It reaches the con
sumer, If you desire to furnish abso
lutely sweat milk which hss not un
dergone any change. This single Il
lustration of the possible change In
milk through the agencies of bacteria
. jf JIACKNKY MAIIH. LADY WILTON ;D, A WINNnrtOF NUMUltOUB I'IHZI.3 IN l-NOLAND,
Introduces us to a long series ol
changes which may occur. Colored
milk, bitter milk, ropy milk, tainted
milk, off-flavored milk, etc, may take
place, but usually those changes can
not be regarded as detrimental to
health. It Is seldom that consumers
mention changes ot this nature, un
less they are very noticeable. It Is
true, they may take alarm at some ot
these harmless fermentations lest they
find something more serious. House
hold consumers have heard much dis
cussion about tuberculosis, diphtheria,
typhoid fever, scarlet fever and tyro
toxlcon poisoning, and they aro fear
ful lest these reports should bo well
founded. Hyglenlsts cultivate this
popular belief, and rightly so, because
they know that mere Is danger In a
promiscuous uso of milk from an un
known source,
Bhredded Corn fodder. It Is of re
rent date that the full value of the
rorn plant as a forage stuff haa bo
come known and properly appreciated.
This has been brought about by the
use of shredders which, as their name
suggests, tear the fibres of tho stalks
apart and prepare them for easy mas
tication, rendering them so acceptable
to animals, especially cattle, that they
devour them with relish, Ileforo the
Introduction ot silos and shredders, It
was tho practtco In the North, where
the entlro plant was fed, to plant
thickly In the drill so aa to grow
small stalks, which were fed whole to
