POULTRY FATTENING.
Experts In Knrope and Canndn Now
V'•*» MachincM to Prepare Fowls
for City Markets.
Poultry fattening experts in Europe
and recently in Canada finish off the
product with machines, as illustrated.
The food consists of ground grain
and milk mixed to a thin, pasty dough.
It is placed in a cylinder, from which
the small pump cylinder operated by
foot power forces it into the fowl's
FATTENING MACHINE,
crop through a rubber tube. The crop
is filled twice a day.and the process is
so rapid that an expert will feed 200
or more fowls per hour. Operators as
sert that the treatment is not at all
painful to the birds.
After feeding they are at once re
placed in the small box coops, as il
lustrated, one fowl to a coop. Grit is
supplied. If a chicken seems ailing it
is placed in a large run for a day with
out food. The machine fattening proc
ess occupies about three weeks.
Considerable differenec is noted in
the readiness with which fowls put on
flesh, even when of the same breed.
Large-boned specimens are preferred.
The method is used only for selected
birds. During the last week of the
FATTENING COOPS.
process it is customary to add a small
quantity of pure fat to the meal and
milk, to improve the delicacy of the
flesh, allowing a tablespoonful of the
fat per day for each lot of ten fowls,
gradually increasing to double that
quantity.—Farm and Home.
FEEDING MOLDY CORN.
A Pernicious Practice Thai May Re
sult in Serion* Intestinal and
Xervous Disorders.
There is a great deal of moldy corn
this year, and it revives the discussion
that arose two years ago, when there
was considerable loss from spinal men
ingitis in cattle. The fall was wet that
year and much corn molded, and the
popular belief was that the moldy
corn was responsible for the disease.
The Indiana experiment station in
vestigated the matter thoroughly,
feeding active growths of the bac
terium ard mold found in the corn,
to two horses, injecting the same un
der the skin, etc., without producing
the disease, though some disorder of
gums and mouth resulted. Finally
the horses were fed all the spoiled
(moldy) corn they would eat. The
first three days they ate of it greed
ily, but after that it was with diffi
culty that they could be induced to
eat any. This produced some disor
der, bvit the horses quickly recovered.
One horse was killed, but a post mor
tem failed to discover any lesions. In
none of the tests was cerebro spinal
meningitis induced by moldy grain.
The report says:"The results of the
experiment show that inoculations
with cultures of the bacteria and
molds were ineffective. Eating of the
mashes containing pure cultures
showed that only in the case of a
growth of a species of fusarium did
"any intestinal disturbance follow, and
that in one case the feeding of the
rotted grain produced considerable in
testinal disturbance and some nervous
symptoms, but that the disturbance
was light in the other." it appears,
therefore, that while many of the
cases of sickness in stock attributed
to eating moldy corn are due to other
causes, the continued use of such food
may result in intestinal and nervous
disorders of a serious nature. —Prai-
rie Farmer.
American Flour In Europe.
Commenting on the status of Amer
ican flour in Europe, Charles Taylor
Fox, manager of the Pillsbury-Wash
burn foreign office in London recent
ly said to a correspondent: "The bak
ers and bread eaters of Great Britain
and Ireland consumed more than
1,500,000 barrels of Minnesota flour
during the last year. The progress of
the American article here is irradually
finding a counterpart on the conti
nent. We have broken into France
and Germany, despite the supposedly
prohibitive tariffs, and we are ship
ping goods to such remote corners as
{'inland, Egypt and Malta." j
DRIED EGGS IN CANS.
Che I.alr>l Way In Which Hie \illrrl«
can Hen I* DlstributiiiK Her
Nutritious Produvl,
The portable hen is the latest thing
adopted by the commissary depart
ment of the army. It lays fresh <
every day, is guaranteed to produce
eight dozen, just as they are required,
and weighs only two pounds. Requir
ing neither food nor water, it can be
carried conveniently in a soldier's
knapsack, and all he has to do when,
he wants an omelet or a "scramble"
is to unscrew the "critter" and ex
tract from it with a spoon.
Dried egg in cans is, to speak more
exactly, the army food of the immedi
ate future. It is put up by a number
of manufacturers in various parts of
the country, but chiefly in Missouri,
under different trade names, such as
"evaporated egg," desiccated egg,"
and "crystallized egg," From two to
these firms the war department has
purchased large quantities of the
stuff, and thousands of cans of It have
been shipped to China and to the
Philippines for the use of our troops.
One pound is equivalent to four dozen
fresh eggs, and it affords an admir
able substitute, being to all intents
and purposes simply hens' eggs with
the water extracted, and "keeping"
for years, even in a tropical climate.
Dried eggs have been utilized large
ly in Alaska of late, in the Klondike,
and at Cape Nome. They have been
furnished to British soldiers in South
Africa, in Yankee cans. In this and
Dther ways the American hen is dis
tributing her product all over the
world, and recent arctic expeditions
have carried similar supplies with
them.—National Stockman.
ON A SOUND BASIS.
From n Mere Paatlme I'onllri Keep-
Ins Has Developed Into a Sound
and Safe Business.
Half a century ago poultry keeping
was simply a fashionable amusement
and pastime. The beginning may be
said to be about 1847 to 1850, at the
time of the introduction of the Shang
hais. Those who have some knowledge
of the history of the past have a fair
idea of what poultry has accomplished.
The* casual observer of years-ago» saw
only enough of it to disgust him with
the whole business. Men who were
engaged in it saw enough money in it,
and as many as had judgment enough
to curtail expenses and reduce stock
at the right time came out with a little
money and more or less experience, the
latter worth perhaps as much in the
long run as the money. A great many
so-called fanciers, however, went into
the business merely for the sake of the
speculation and excitement it afforded,
and went out of it without knowing
or caring anything about the ultimate
results, of the« poultry interest at large.
Fanciers of this type (and it is possible
that there are a few of them in the
business yet) were interested only in
the proceeds, with no thought of what
poultry breeding has done for the im
provement of the general stock of the
country and the increase of the prod
ucts of the poultry yards of the nation.
There have always been some fanciers
who were true fanciers not specu
lators—who worked for nobler ends
than merely to make money. The
money end, of course, was not lost sight
of, but it was not the governing pur
pose.—Farm and Fireside.

any "January thaw" and a pair can
be taken out, thawed, cooked and eaten
whenever desired, without any fear
that the remainder will not keep well.
—X. Y. Tribune.
AMONG THE POULTRY.
Athih turkey sells hard aVid at a low
price.
Wood ashes should not be used in
the poultry house.
A leafless tree or the top rail of a
fence is very poor protection from
storm or cold.
A little thought, a little time and a
very little money will add much to the
comfort and health of the hens and to
the profit of their owner.
A few bushels of garden soil put in
to the hen house now will come handy
before next April. Try it and see if
we are right in the statement.
If soft food is fed it is an excellent
plan to have a cover of slats over the
trough which will permit the fowls
to eat and yet keep them from getting
into their feed.
Keep the old turkeys for breeding
purposes. Select a few of the best
young ones to take the places of those
that have fallen by the way during
the year, or that are too old.—Nation
al itural.

WHEELER WAS TOO POLITE.
RmbarrauinK Dilemma In AVhicli
"FightliiK Joe" I.ately Found
Himself.
At Washington the other day it was rain
ing hard, and the street care were crowded
with passengers more or less bedraggled.
Among them was Gen. Joe Wheeler. Next
to him was a woman wearing a mackintosh,
who rose to get off at Fourteenth atid F
streets. Gen. Wheeler noticed an umbrel
la leaning against the ear seat. _
He grabbed the umbrella, ran after the
woman, caught her at the door and said: (
"Pardon me, madam, but you left your um
brella."
The woman looked puzzled, but took the
umbrella. Gen. Wheeler resumed his soat.
Then a woman on the other side of him
gave a little scream and said: "Why, you
nasty little m;in, you gave that woman my
umbrella." Then'she appealed to the con
ductor.
Gen. Wheeler apologized, hut the woman
said: "Now you just get right off the car
and get it for me or I'll notify the police."
Meekly the veteran of three wars
tumbled off into the rain and ran after the
woman with the mackintosh. He made a
hurried explanation, got the umbrella and
rushed hack to the waiting car.
As he handed it back to its owner he said:
"I trust you wll pardon me, madam. I as
sure you it was a.l a mistake."
The woman glared at him. "I don't
know about that," she spiffed. "I don't be
lieve you are any better than you ought
to be."

One Marshal Le Febvre fell ill of an ague,
and his servant, an old soldier, caught the
malady at the same time. The servant was
cuickly cured, but the fever clung to the
marshal until it occurred to his energetic
duchess that the doctor had blundered by
giving the marshal the same doses as to a
private soldier. She rapidly counted upon
her fingers the different rings of the mili
tary ladder. "Here, drink this; this is
suited to your grade," she said, putting a
tumbler tp her husband's lips. And the
duke, having swallowed a dozen doses at
one fjulp, was soon on bis legs again.
