THAT HAT.
I won her “Yes!" I kissed her lips;
I searched her eyes with thoughts elate.
Her deep blue eyes were fraught with doubt.
How coum my darling hesitate?
I coaxed the cause of trouble forth.
She murmured, “Is my hat on straight?”
Weeks flew; she was my wedded wife.
The curriagc stood beside the gate
To bear us to our dear new home.
My joy was quite intemperate.
1 whispered low, “My love, myown,”
As forth wfe fared in bridal state.
With ej clashes all wet with tears
She answered, “Is iny hat on straight?”
Reverses dimmed those early years.
My downfall was precipitate.
I gently broke the news to her.
My angel wife and loving mate.
Our little all was at the dogs.
And we should have to emigrate.
She trustfully made answer brave.
With confidence for any fate,
“You’ll make another fortune, dear.
But tell me is my hat on straight?”
She snatched our baby from its death
Upon an engine's path irate.
She spoke a speech, with much applause.
Upon the day we celebrate.
She single handed warned and fired
A serving man intoxicate.
But after every feat supreme.
When I my pride would intimate.
My heroine would always say:
“How nice! But is my hat on straight?*
Oh, woman, dear to God and man,
Wliat ails your graceful little pate?
Why is that sweet, delightful hat
So difficult to navigate?
Knowledge of good and evil you.
Ere you were summoned to vacate,
Snauhed at in Eden and secured,
Wilh penal ties commensurate.
But will you never, never know*.
From now till beauty's doom and date.
Past yrradventure of a doubt,
Whi 1 her j oti have your hat on straight?

BRIXTON’S CHOICE.
There are many varieties of matri
monial proposals besides those which
appear in novels, and one of them made
a lot of trouble a year or two ago for
John Brixton. Brixton was one of the
intelligent fellows who also are adaptive,
so he had acquired a lot of acquaintances
who were the envy of every one that
knew him. Although he was only a
salesman on salary—quite a good salary,
it must be said—for a large firm of iron
manufacturers, he was frequently ac
costed familiarly by bank presidents and
other business magnates and could slap
any of these gentlemen on the shoulder
without giving offense.
As he was a bachelor and old enough
to have outgrown the habit of lounging
through successive evenings in houses
where there were pretty daughters, he
was available for dinner parties given
by men who knew no better way of
spending an evening. Everybody among
his acquaintances wished him well and
wished they could do something for him,
but they respected him all the more be
cause he never tried to borrow money
nor asked for any other favors. Solid
business men told one another that Brix
ton would be one of them some day. He
merely needed the chance which comes
to every deserving man in the course ot
time, and each of them hoped it might
be his own fortune to throw the chance
in Brixton’s way.
It seemed one day to old Budder, presi
dent of the Forty-seventh National bank
and a hearty admirer of Brixton, that hs
was just the man to throw a fortune in
Brixton’s way. The plan came to Bud
der’s mind suddenly, but sudden inspira
tions and quick action thereon are part
of the daily life of the most stolid presi
dents of big banks. Brixton had prom
ised to lunch with the bank magnate at
midday, and he appeared at the bank just
in time to sec the old man bowing out a
lady with more courtesy and ceremony
than he imagined Budder capable of.
As the old man caught sight of Brix
ton he exclaimed:
“One moment, Miss Fewse. Allow me
to introduce iny very dear and old friend,
Mr. John Brixton. Mr. Brixton. Miss
Fewse, daughter of old Ben Fewse, whom
every one has heard of.”
Brixton bowed and looked curiously
at the lady. He had seen her father oc
casionally before increasing years and
doctors had sent Mr. Fewes to his fjnal
home, and his eyes searched the daugh
ter’s face for indications of her father’s
distinguishing traits. He found them,
too, although the interview was short.
Miss Fewes was richly and simply
dressed. Her figure, like her father’s,
was dumpy, and her face, though not
rude, was as broad and heavy and her
forehead was as low as that of old Ben
himself. Still, her manner was wom
anly, and as she finally took her depar
ture Brixton, who had a dear old mother
as well as a sister whom he regarded as
the best young woman alive, sorrowed
to himself that a man as rich as old Ben
Fewes could not have marriod some one
whose blood could have atoned for the
rudeness of his own.
“Well, John,” said the president, after
handing Miss Fewse into her carriage,
“you owe me one. Any one of a thousand
good fellows in New York would give
10 years of his life for such an introduc
tion to Miss Fewse as I gave you just
now. Go right ahead now and make
use of it.”
“You’re always doing the friendly
thing, Budder,” remarked Brixton, sink
ing into an easy chair, “but I don’t quite
understand it this time.”
“Don’t, eh?” said the president, hastily
relighting a cigar which he had laid on
his desk when Miss Fewse was an
nounced.
“Well (puff). Miss Fewse is joint heir
with (puff) her brother—her only brother,
mind you. Old Ben's estate is estimated
by his executors at |8,000,000. I don’t
know how close that comes to the truth
—I don't take much stock in what 1 can’t
see with my own eyes—but this much I
do know.”
Ihen the president clapped two pudgy
hands upon Brixton's knees, looked
squarely into Brixton's eyes and said in
a low, measured monotone:
“John Brixton, I know of my own
knowledge that Ada Fewse has over one—
million—dollars—in good railroad bonds
right in my safe here. 'Nongli said, eh?”
“Enough money, I should say, for an
unmarried woman who doesu't look os
if her tastes were expensive. Bnt what
hove I to do with it? Yon said”
“Do with it?” cc;i ._.l t..o president.
“Why, you donkey, make it your own.
Marry the girl. Sho isn’t a beauty, 1
must admit, but she's respectable and
honest, and she’d accept you in a min
ute.”
“Upon my word, Budder,” laughed
Brixton, “yon've been in business so long
that even women seem projierty to yon.
Miss Fewse never saw me until five min
utes ago.”
“Perhaps not, bnt die’s got her fa
ther’s level head on her shoulders. She’s
seen dozens of other men. Scarcely a
month goes by without some fellow
offering himself to her—fpr the sake of
her money, of course. She doesn't ob
ject to marrying, for, being a woman,
she has a heart, but she has enough
character to want a husband whom she
can respect, and none of the fellows who
have offered themselves thus far lias
been of that kind.”
“Upon my word, Budder,” said the
younger man, "I never would have
taken yon, good fellow though you are,
for a man whom an unmarried woman
would have selected as confidant It
does you credit, though, that she seems
to have opened hor heart to you.”
“Oh, well, Ben and I have been in
many speculations together, and she
knows he always trusted me. Besides
there's no sentimentxl nonsense about
her. She isn’t afraid to unload her ideas
upon an old friend of the family, go
we’ve talked very freely about it. By
the way, she has such a matter of fact
manner that she looks older than she is.
She’s really five years yonnger than yon.
Your fortune’s made, poor boy, nnlees
you make a fool of yourself in some
way.
“Let me sound her about it. Yon may
count upon me to do it without lack of
proper respect for cither of yon. and I’ll
bet the entire assets of this bank against
a penny that you may announce your en
gagement within a week. Then you'll
oe nana in glove with a lot of ns fellows
In a business way as well as socially,
and we want you—we really do.”
“Budder,” said John Brixton, rising
from his chair, “you’ve got a heart as
big as an ox, and I’m heartily obliged to
you for your interest in me. You must
give me time to think of it, though.”
“Time to-1” ejaculated the presi
dent, firing his cigar butt at the cuspi
dor with such energy that he overshot
the mark and elicited a howl of anguish
from the bank's cat as sho mistook the
missive for a mouse when she opened
her eyes from a peaceful slumber.
“There’re some things that a fellow can't
afford to think about. Do you stop to
think when a trout rises to your fly?
Come along to lunch and make up your
mind on the way.”
But John Brixton wasn't able to give
a decisive answer over the coffee and
cigars. A million dollars in good secur
ities seemed well worth the taking by a
man who had worked industriously for
15 or 30 years only to reach a salary of
$5,000 or $6,000, and an appreciative wife
thrown in seemed like so much extra
luck, for John’B mother and sister had
for years warned him that wives who
hold good husbands in proper regard are
as scarce as model husbands.
On the other hand, old Ben Fewse's
daughter, who looked as much like her
father as a woman could look like a
man, would be a strange companion for
a man who, in spite of much attention
to material things in the way of busi
ness, had inherited many fine tastes and
sentiments which he had kept in good,
usable condition. Whoever he might
marry ought to be fairly companionable
to his mother and si,ter—two women
whom he c.mld not imagine enjoying
Miss Fewse'.- society.
Bat while John Brixton went on think
ing and wondering and compromising
and rejecting his own compromises old
Budder took the case in hand as earnest
ly as if it were a promising investment
for his own bank. He was too good a
business man to exceed his anlhority,
bnt he and his wife took Miss Fewse out
driving the very afternoon that he had
made his suggestion to Brixton, and they
took her home to dinner with them, and
the old man made opportunity to sound
the praise of John Brixton and to tell
what fine women John's mother and sis
ter were. So before the evening was
over Miss Fewse was conscious of a
mighty wish that some man like John
Brixton would ask her to change her
name and share her life and fortune
with her.
Brixton had been at his office only half
an hour the next morning when one of
the clerks Bhonted:
“Some one on the telephone for you,
sir.”
“Who is it?” John asked, raising his
eyes from a letter he was reading.
“Forty-seventh National bank—Presi
dent Budder," the clerk replied.
“Wait a moment.” Baid Brixton, drop
C* ; the letter, seizing his hat and start
for the door. “I’m out—you don't
know when I’ll be in.”
One of the firm who had overheard
the conversation asked his partner
whether he supposed Brixton had been
speculating in Wall street and got more
accommodation from tne Forty-seventh
National than his collaterals would war
rant, and the partner replied that it
might not be a bad thing to keep Brixton
out of temptation by sending him to
South America to look after a railway
contract which they had been trying to
secure through correspondents.
As for Brixton, he went straight home
and prowled about the house until he
found bis sister.
“Ettie,” said lie, “yon and I have al
ways been confidential friends, although
we’re brother and sister. I want to ask
you an unusual question, and I want
you to answer it without joking or rais
ing your eyebrows or any other teas
ing. Suppose I should suddenly deter
mine that I wanted to marry. Whom
would you best like for a sister?”
The young woman did not start or
laugh or do anything expressive of as
tonishment, bnt answered promptly:
“I've longed for years to see you and
Agnes Hamniice make a match. You’re
made for cacu other.”
“Longed for years, eh? Never changed
yonr mind?"
“Never. Isn’t she my dearest friend?
Isn’t she as good enu „..ml hand
some as—as sho is poor':”
“What docs mother think of lfer?”
“Just what I think nDd what every one
must who knows her. The dear girl
would have been snapped up long ago if
she hadn't been too poor to appear prop
erly in the society for which she's best
fitted. As it is, scarcely any young men
know her except those who ;._e not fit to
tie her shoes.”
“What do you suppose she thinks of
me?”
“Well, on general principles she can’t
help liking you. For the rest, unless she
forgets everything I say to her, she must
think you’re the one supremely perfect
man on the face of the earth.”
“H’m! What wonderful things you
must have said of me—behind my back.
Do you suppose you could arrange for
ns—sh", you and I—to take a drive this
afternoon?”
"Yes, but”
“Exactly. Then find some excuse aft
er you return from inviting her to find
something which will unavoidably pre
vent yonr going."
By way of reply Ettie Brixton sprang
from her chair, kissed her brother ef
fusively and hurried off to dress for a
morning call.
Miss Ham mice went driving with John
Brixton that afternoon, ’and although
she was very sorry that dearEttie wasn’t
with them she enjoyed herself greatly
after the manner of busy people whose
special pleasures come infrequently.
As the drive prolonged itself she
changed her mind about Ettie. She
wouldn't have had the girl with her for
worlds, for although there was more
happiness in that carriage than she had
ever before imagined the world contain
there was only enough for two, and the
mere presence of any one else, even her
dearest friend, would have entirely
spoiled it. Instead of taking her directly
home after returning from the pleaaant
country lanes through which he had
driven, John Brixton drove to his own
home and cnlled his sister down to the
little parlor, while he remained ontside
to watch the horses.
It seemed to him that he sat there
alone at least 24 hours, although the par
lor clock had ticked eff only 20 minutes
when Agnes tore herself away from Et
tie with the remark that she could' not
be entirely happy nntil she had reached
home and told her mother all abont it.
President Bndder was still at bis din
ner table that evening when a letter was
brought in. The servant said a special
messenger had brought it, with instruc
tions to deliver at once.
“One of the delights of being a finan
cial magnate!" growled the old man as
he tore the end from the envelope.
“Can’t eat my dinner in peace. Any
customer in such a hurry must be—great
Scott!”
“Has some one failed?” asked Mrs.
Budder.
“I should say so—failed to make a
fortune. Listen to this:
"My Dux Bcddlil—Perhaps men grow
more bashful as they groa older. Atony rate,
1M rather write you than tell you faco to face
that the reason I hesitate to avail myself of

John Bhixtos.
“A million dollars—yes, three million
dollars out!” exclaimed President Bnd
der, dashing the letter to the floor. “Did
you ever know such a fool?”
“I hope so,” said Mrs. Budder. ‘Td
like to believe you’d have been just such

thrown at your head when yon were
paying attentions to me. Goodness

“Right you are, uiy dear, as usual,”

block away had the windows been open.

The Man'll Interest In This Woman.
The white haired gentleman at the ta
ble opposite nad been t taring hard at me
for several minutes. The entire absence
of anything disrespectful hail allayed
my wrath and finally even aroused a cer
tain feeling of satisfaction. There is no
woman alive who does not rather like to
be looked at when she is sure that no
impertinence is intended.
At last the old gentleman spoke to his
waiter in an undertone.
“But dey ain’t none ou dat bill, sah.
See fo’ yo’self," protested the polite ne
gro.
Another remark in an undertone from
the old gentieman.
‘”80036, me, miss,” and Iho waiter
turned to me, with an air of exhausted
patience, “bat is yo’ had any browned
potatoes fo’ vo’ dinner?"
I had had browned potatoes, bnt they
belonged to an entree and bad not fig
ured in the bill by name. I explained
the situation and sadly went ou with
my dinner. The old gentleman’s attei.
tions were dne not to gallantry, but to
gormandizing.—Kate Field’s Washing

Lilacf* In rarlft.
Cartloads of lilac arrive at the Paris
market every morning, and purchasers
carry off ar-ufuls of these branches of
green foliage and white clusters of deli
cious perfume for the purpose of orna
menting their dwellings. The greater
quantity of lilac which is collected in
the market is from Seine-et-Oise, owing
to the soil being poorai.il unsuited to all
other vegetation. In the little village of
Frette the land is almost entirely cov
ered with forests of lilac. Five acres
will produce 150 francs’ worth of lilac
each year. The branches which have
the most blossoms are cut, the
largest of which arc rested against
sheaves of hay arranged for the purpose.
The more minute branches are tied up in
clusters with water willows around the
bark or woody part of the branches and
placed in vans.—St. Louis Republic.
Blushing ami Bilaucliiug.
Blushing is not an art. Neither is it
an absolute sign of ill breeding, as some
unkind folk maintain. The fact is it is
just as natural for some people to blush
on one occasion as it is for others to turn
pale on another. The same laws of na
ture which govern the one rule govern
the other. The capillaries or small blood
vessels which connect the arteries and
veins in the body form, particularly over
the cheeks, a network so fine that it is
necessary to employ a microscope to dis
tinguish them.
Ordinarily the blood passes through
these vessels in normal volume, leaving
only the natural complexion. But when
some sudden emotion takes possession of
the heart its action increases, and an
electric thrill instantly leaps to the
cheeks. The thrill is nothing more than
the rush of blood through the invisible
capillaries. The color is nothing more
than the blood just beneath the delicate
surface of the skin. The causes that
bring about this condition in the circu
lating system are called mental stimuli.
They consist of joy, anger, shame and
the many other emotions.
Sndden horror, remorse or fear, on
the contrary, influence the nerves which
control the blood vessels, and the face
becomes white. Blushing and pallor re
sult from the sudden action of the mind
on the nervous system. So if the mind
be forewarned and prepared for emo
tions both habits can at least be partially
overcome. But when the nervous sys
tem is highly strung it would be a life
long if not futile task to endeavor to ef
fect a perfect cure. It is the sensitive,
nervous girl who blushes easily, while
the girl stolid by nature or who by edu
! cation has her nerves under perfect
control seldom blushes.—Philadelphia
Times.
How a Logbook I> Kept.
How many landsmen know how a log
book is written up? It seems just as
complicated as doable entry bookkeeping
when one does not know, but after a lit
tle careful attention and study it’s as
easy to keep a logbook as to eat hot gin
gerbread. There is a list of letters ar
ranged, and they look like so much
Greek to the uneducated.
The letter b, for instance, stands for
bine sky, whether there be clear or hazy
atmosphere; c means cloudy or detached
opening clouds; d denotes drizzling rain;
a small j, fog; capital F, thick fog; g,
gloomy, dark weather; h, hail; 1, light
ning, and m, misty or hazy so as to in
terfere with the view.
The letter o represents overcast or
when the whole sky is covered with one
impenetrable cloud. Passing showers
are noted by the letter p, and q indicates
the weather to be squally. Continuous
rain is indicated by an r, snow by an s
and thunder by a t. Any ugly threat
ening appearance in the weather calls
for the letter u, and visibility or distant
objects, whether the sky be cloudy or
not, is represented by the letter v. A
small w is wet dew. A full point or dot
under any letter denotes an extraordi
nary degree. As an example of how the
letters are used take q p d 1 t. This
reads very hard squalls and showers of
drizzle, accompanied by lightning with
very heavy thunder. Numerals denote
the force of the wind. A cipher indi
cates calm, 1 light air, 3 light breeze, 3
gentle breeze, 4 moderate breeze, 5 fresh
breeze, 6 strong breeze, 7 moderate gale,
8 fresh gale, 9 strong gale, 10 whole
gale, 11 storm, 12 hurricane. This sys
tem of abbreviation is generally adhered
to on all merchant vessels.—Geograph
ical Magazine. '
Good Use of a Flag.
In Havana there was one evening a
great row in the streets, and a man was
killed. Every one ran away except an
Englishman, who did not see why he
should run off, but stopped to do what
he could for the wounded man. The
city was th n, as it often was, under
martial law, and in a few minutes a party
of soldiers came up and walked the Eng
lishman off. He was tried then and there
by a sort of drumhead court martial and
condemned to be shot the next morning
at 8 o’clock.
He managed to get the news conveyed
to the English consul, and at 7:45 o'clock
next morning the consul appeared in his
coach and four, uniform, cocked hat and
sword, all his orders on, etc. The shoot
ing party were drawn out, and the
prisoner wa3 there too. The consul
walked np to the officer commanding
the party and demanded the life of his
countryman.
‘‘Very sorry,” said the officer, “but I
must carry out my orders,” and he
showed the warrant signed by the gov
ernor. "Well,” said the consnl, “at
least yon’U allow me to shake hands
with him before he dies." “I can’t re
fuse that,” was the reply. On which the
consul stepped np to the Englishman,
put his hand into his breast coat pocket,
drew out a union jack, unfolded it,
threw it over the man and then said,
"There, now, fire if you dare!” The
lieutenant was staggered, the matter
was referred to the governor, and the
Englishman was saved.—London Spec

Is That Well Near Your Butter Factory
Contaminated?
Who shall say that the season so far
has not been a prosperous one for dairy
men? They have not had to assign any
way, and it doesn’t look as if they would
be forced to the wall in that respect,
not while their cows give milk, at least.
Out in Illinois I was pained to find the
lame old custom in vogue that is preva
lent in the dairy region of New York—i.
e., that of pasturing the cows in the aft
ermath of the meadows. Some day I
hope to see dairymen come to their senses
In this respect and have dne regard for
the sacredness of meadows, but I fear
that they will not change their ways un
til they have been made to suffer more
financially than now by letting the cows
have the run of the farm.
The big fodder corn that they raise out
west they feed in abundance to cattle at
this season, and it has its usual effect in
booming the milk yield. There is none
of this pale, spindling corn either, re
sulting from its being sown thickly to
gether, but it is dark green, rank and
stocky of growth, every cane fully de
veloped. That is the kind that yields
milk when it passes through the digest
ive system of the cow.
As I stood in a model butter factory
yesterday and saw the ripening cream in
a vat in which floated pieces of ice, I
thought that there was some difference
between the quality of this cream and
that taken from loppered milk in the
home dairy. No wonder that there is a
difference in the price of butter between
the two.
X thought again that this cream in the
vat at the butter factory was the mix
ture of the yield of several hundred cows,
while in the home dairy the yield of not
over a dozen or fifteen cows would be
represented. The chances were that the
original purity of the cream from 15
cows was greater than that from 300,
as no doubt a great many diseased ones
existed in such an aggregation. What
a pity then that the nice mode of manu
facture in vogue in the creamery did not
obtain in every individual dairy!
Buttermilk is becoming a favorite
drink with people living near creameries.
When fresh, it is both refreshing and
healthful. Dairymen find the skimmed
milk as it comes from the separator an
invaluable food for swine. Although
many could get more for their milk at
the shipping stations, they prefer to
patronize a butter factory and get the
skimmed milk back to put into pork de
velopment. being assured that the latter
pay9 better.
I have often heard of sand in sugar,
but never heard of it in butter until the
other day. A new well had been put
down at a creamery, and the water used
therefrom to wash the butter was full of
quicksand. The quicksand remained
with the butter, and the loss to the pa
trons was $40, for which they were in no
wise to blame this time.
By the way, I had rather have butter
washed with pure water charged with
clean quicksand than to have it washed
with water into which had drained dele
terious substances. This subject of
pure water for creameries is of deep im
portance, for the butter itself is washed
with it in an nnsterilized state.
At half of the creameries the wants of
the plant are supplied from wells con
tiguous to the buildings, from which
there arises a suspicion that filthy drain
age contaminates them. Where there
is the least suspicion of impurity the
water should first be sterilized and then
reduced to the proper temperature by
ice for washing butter.—George E.
Newell in American Cultivator.
Dairy and Creamery.
A Vermont lady says that in her but
ter making days there was no trouble
with wooden dairy implements—butter
molds, bowls, etc.—cracking when dried
in the sun. But she thinks possibly they
are made nowadays of wood less well
seasoned thau they were in her time.
There may be something in that.
Speaking of Shorthorns, the milk and
butter record of the registered Short
horn cow Sue Cady should not be for
gotten. In a private test of 30 days,
from June 4 to July 4, 1885, Sue pro
duced 1,332 pounds of milk, from which
56£ pounds of butter were made. So
says J. W. Gaues, manager of Meadow
Springs farm, in Wisconsin.
Mr. Zook, a Pennsylvania butter mak
er, tested his cows separately as to the
time required to churn the milk of each
into butter. He found that in case of
certain cows the butter was from 20 to
25 minutes longer in coming than in case
of the other cows. After that he sold the
cows whose milk was longest in churn
ing and made his herd of animals that
averaged about the same length of time.
He noticed that this increased the quan
tity and improved the quality of the
butter. He believes that mixing all
kinds and churning them together is one
reason why it takes so much milk to
make a pound of butter at creameries.
By the way, does it take more milk to
make a pound of butter at the creamer
ies than in private dairies? Mr. Zook
gayB that with his present herd 61 quarts
of milk make a pound of butter. The
milk of some of these cows on being an
alyzed shows per cent butter fat.
If you want the very best dairy cows,
raise them yourself, to order.
Every dairyman who attends to his
business has his milk cans covered with
blankets or sacking or awning goods in
the hot weather. It keeps the milk cool
and sweet honrs longer.
Fairly good aerating machines are now
on the market, but there will be better
oneB in time. Meantime a large dipper
with holes^n the bottom like a watering
pot will answer the purpose of an aera
tor very well if the quantity of milk is
not too great. Hold the dipper up in the
air and pour the milk through it.

Lord Rothschild sets an example to less
fortunate financiers in business regularity.
He most frequently travels to town by the

is at Euston at 0:35 and thus reaches his

breakfasting quite as early as the majority
of his clerks.
What to Say.
Whenever you hear a dairy farmer
complaining of ill luck and a lack of
profit, take off your hat, wherein you
have of course pasted the following,
from John Gould’s address to the agri
cultural students of Ohio university, and
read it to him:
“To obtain successful results in the
future we must find out whether we are
being injured so much by competition
as by our own failure to comprehend
and push to its limit the productive
quality of our dairies.”
One word more. Tell him that there
is not a single instance of a dairy farmer
Who has made a progressive success of
his work, who has not turned that very
searchlight on himself that Gould speaks
of.—Hoard’s Dairyman.

FATTENING FOWLS FOR MARKET.
A Method Described Which Is Economical,
Simple and Expeditions.
Fowls that have been properly kept
will generally be in good condition for
the fable at almost any season and a{
any age. Bnt we may increase the
amount of flesh, harden it and “fatten”
the birds, so that they will dress pre
sen tably for the butchers’ stalls, if we de
sire, through additional or extra feeding
for a few weeks at the close of the sea
son. It is quito impossible for any breed
er—no matter how careful, how skillful
or how determined lie may be—to bleed
all his fowls up to what is considered
the average best “standard.” There
must be culls among his flocks, let him
do his best. This is not only our own
bnt it is the frankly admitted experience
of all fanciers or poulterers who are dis
posed to state the facts. Thus, then—
whatever your strain, breed or cross may
be—you will rear many chickens every
year that will prove fit only for the spit
or the pot. These should be weeded out.
If we are breeders of large flocks, we
shall have many such birds to be dis
posed of for table use. If we breed only
a few, the proportion of indifferent speci
mens is about the same. And all these
“culls” must be got rid of to the best ad
vantage because wo do not care to carry
them over for future propagation, and it
is not profitable to feed them after they
have attained their growth.
Remove such birds—and especially all
the imperfectly feathered or ill shaped
cockerels — from among their mates.
Place them, 15 or 30 together, in a closed
coop that is clean and comfortable, for
them to eat and rest in, without crowd
ing each other. Give them fresh water
to drink, with a little cayenne pepper
thrown into it, two or three times a
week, and feed them all they will eat up
clean three times a day, upon boiled
corn and wheat meal with potatoes (a
little salted), one part of each, into which,
while hot, stir a pound of common lard,
beef tallow or chandlers’ scraps (perfect
ly sweet, mind) to six or eight quarts of
the mash.
Feed this out when warm. Have a
basin of coarse gravel handy, which they
will cat all they need of to ussist diges
tion. Occasionally mix a little powdered
charcoal in this soft food (which lat
ter is an excellent purifier and guards
against the souring of their food in the
crop), and in two or three weeks your
birds will be at their best. Kill, dress
and market them, and thus make the
wisest disposal you can make of all your
surplus or undesirable fowls.
While this process is going on it will
1 be observed that the birds are in close,
compact coops, open only in front. These
may be placed in the barn or anywhere
most convenient for the time being.
They will not suffer, thus in a body,
from the cold. The coops should be set
on the ground, with straw or leaves for
a flooring. The heat of the fowls’ bodies
will serve to keep each other warm
enough in the three sided closed coops.
They have no exercise, and they have
nothing to do but to eat, rest, sleep and
grow fat. This method is simple, eco
nomical and the least troublesome. In
12 to 34 days at the outside fowls thus
treated should be in their best condition
for slaughtering.
Winteriug Bees on Summer Stands.
A Massachusetts beo man who has
wintered bees on the summer stands for
30 years, writes to The American Bee
Journal that ho has not met with 3 per
cent of loss. He says:
The great and only secret in my own
locality, where the temperuturo ranges
from 30 degrees Fahrenheit above to 20
degrees below zero, is ventilation, with
ample stores, so placed that the colony
can at all times have access to them.
Cold of itself doesn’t kill bees. Lack of
stores and excess of moisture will kill
them every time. If these propositions
are true, and I believe them to be so, the
question of safe wintering is only a mat
ter of such preparation as will insure
plenty of stores and lack of moisture.
I use a 10 frame Langstroth hive, leav
ing but nine frames in the brood ch amber
for winter use, evenly spaced, each frame
being at least one-third filled in its upi>er
part with sealed stores. Over the frames
I place a Hill’s device or its equivalent,
covering the same with a piece of old
carpet or other porous material, with six
or eight inches of forest leaves pressed
loosely down upon this covering. For
ventilation I give the whole entrance. By
this means I get downward ventilation,
which I claim to be the only true venti
lation for a beehive. The excess of
moisture imperceptibly passes off
through the top of the hive, preventing
the formation of frost, which frost I be
lieve to be the chief cause of loss. The
bees can pass over the tops of the frames
to any part of the hive, and thus gain
access at all times to their food.
I have used double and single walled
and chaff hives and find little difference
in them as to loss. In fact, I have win
tered four frame colonies hives made
of half inch stock with safety.
A Chance For Farmers’ Boys.
The Rural New Yorker calls attention
to the fact that a Bhort winter course at
Cornell will open Jan. 3, 1894. Persons
of good moral character and 16 years
old will be admitted without written ex
amination. Lack of book learning, there
fore, need deter no young man from at
tending this school. At the same time
there will open a special course in dairy
ing, which will continue U weeks. No
applicants will be admitted to this
course unless they have had already one
season’s experience in a creamery or
cheese factory. At most other colleges,
too, these 6hort courses are being estab
lished. It is an excellent feature, and
every farmer boy ought to make up his
mind to attend one of them at least.
