The year 1906 has been distinguish- ed for performances in mountain climbing. The Duke of Abruzzi, whose ascent of Mt. St. Elias has been eclipsed on the North American con- tinent by Dr. Cook’s more recent feat, succeeded last June in surmounting the second highest (19,024) summit of the Ruywenzori range in central Afri- ca. The. highest summit (Mt. Kibo) of this range being 19,912. But the achievement of Dr. and Mrs. William H. Workman last August, over-shad- ows that of the Italian duke in Afri- ca, for they succeeded in ‘climbing to 23,394 feet on the peak of the Chago Lungma glacier in the Himalayas. This, I believe, is a record in height; though by no means so difficult an undertaking as McKinley. The Work- mans camped for two nights at 21,- 000 feet, which becomes also a rec- ord for a mountaineer’s camp. Thus, the mountain climbing honors of 1906 may be said to justly belong to America, for Dr. and Mrs. Workman and Dr. Cook are Americans.—Outing Magazine.

Keeping apples by burying them in the ground proves successful when other methods fail, provided every apple is sound and free from blem- ish when harvested. The reason is that the temperature in the ground or mound in which the apples are kept “varies but little, and they are always cool. The same results will be obtained if a cold and even temi- perature can be secured in a cellar. Philadelphia Record. Keep Hens at Work. To prevent disease keep the hens at work by making them scratch for their grain food. Overfeeding is the cause of bowel diseases in the sum- mer, or, rather, too much concen- trated food is given, and not enough of that which is bulky. If the quar- ters are kept clean there is little danger of contagious disease unless an addition is made to the flock by bringing a bird from some other farm, When ‘new blood” is want- ed procure. a sitting of eggs of the breed desired, as it is very important that when the coops are clean, and the fowls free from disease, no fowls from other places be introduced, as a flock may thus be stocked with lice or infected with dissase.—Phila- delphia Record. Filter Trap For Cistern. This is a barrel placed between the eaves, spout and the entrance to the cistern. In the barrel is a float, and above the float about eight inches from.the top is a diaphragm with a hole in the centre. The head of the barrel is replaced, but several vent holes are bored in it. In the dia- gram, the upper pipe represents the supply pipe from the roof and the lower the outflow to the cistern. With every shower, the barrel being empty, or nearly so, the first flow of (bird dung, leaves, dust ete.) off the roof and they are caught and dirt, in the barrel before it fills. When the water rises as high as the dia- phragm, the float closes the hole and the pure water then rises and flows into the cistern. After the rain the water in the barrel should be drawn off. It is useful for watering plants, washing flagging, wagons, etc.— Ford Durfee, Newark, N. Y,. Angora Goats. The Angora goat is destined to be- come one of the most valuable of the domestic animals, and their recent popularity is something that they have long deserved. Formerly the public was prejudiced against An- gora venison, but the growers ond butchers have demonstrated its ex- cellence, and now there are but few mutton eaters who do not like goat meat. The result is a steady remu- nerative market demand for Angora goats, but the raising of them is con- fined almost exclusively to the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast States. In Colorado, New Mexico and Ari- zona there are many herds ranging from 300 to 3600 in each flock. The average price obtaincd for mohair for a six months’ clip is 2314 cents per pound. This is a good average price and decidedly remunerative. Nearly all the goat raisers in those localities are paying special attention to the breeding of fine stock, and the result during the past six years has developed some very fine stock and for which goed prices have been ob- tained. In the opinion of many experi- enced and suceessful stock raisers there is a great future for the An- ‘I gora goat because of its many fine points and valuable uses that can be made of them on the farm. The hair from the Angora goat makes a fabric which rivals that of silk. A good goat will produce from 4 to 6 pounds of this class of mohair, which ranges in price from 25 to 40 cents per pound, according to the length, quality and luster of the Hair. The most valuable service which th» Angora performs on the farm is in clearing brush land. There Is nothing that kills brush and trees quicker than the constant nibbling away of the tender leaves and bark, which constitutes the best food for . @ goat, although they will eat any class of foed that is fed to domestic animals. There is no reason why the Angora goat venison should not be considered as dainty a meat as that of the deer. If the health of the animal is a criterion for the purity and healthfulness of the meat, there is no flesh food comparable with that of the Arfgora goat. Ly The Tuarbit. The Turbit, as shown in the ae- companying cut, is one of the most highly prized of the family of “toys,” of which it is the very foundation, and from it were made all orientals such as Frills in their numerous va- rieties, the Domino, the Nun, the Priest.and others. It is one of the oldest varieties of Yellow Turbit Hen. fancy pigeons and has been bred in the old countries for centuries. It is a very small, chesty, proud and jaunty little bird, with large, round, “bull” (dark hazel) eyes in a head large and broad, having a high, round forehead. Its prominent, broad, round chest is adorned with a frill which extends up to the throat or gullet. This frill is composed of very fine feathers growing awry or in all directions. At the back of the head is a crest. either shell or peak, which is now preferred. From this peak down the back of the neck is a “mane” which extends down to the saddle, giving the neck a very broad appearance from a side view. The Turbit fs bred in all colors, in selfs and winged. Selfs are pure white all over or any one color throughout. The winged are white except the wings, which are richly colored and should have ten white flights, meaning the ten longest feathers. The standard colors are black, red, yellow and blue. In blues two broad black bars should cross each wing just above the white flights. The feet should be bright red. \ At one time the Turbit was the most fancied of all varieties of fancy pigeons and was bred in great quan- ‘tities and to a.very high standard of perfection, but of late years it seems to have been forsaken by the expert breeders, though some few have stuck to it and have continued to improve the type, which to-day is its greatest quality. Its head has been a most interest- ing subject of discussion lately, and much has been written on the ques- tion. In fact, it is doubtful if an up to date Turbit fancier would hesitate to pay any price for a perfect head cven though the bird had no other qualities. A good specimen is a very high- priced bird, and in this country there are single birds worth $250, and in England they bring even higher prices. It is a good breeder, but hard to sect true to type.— Feather. Farm Notes. The auto may have frightened the horse, but it has not driven him out of business. Don’t plan to keep too many hogs through the winter; they scatter too many corn cobs about the place. Draft horses are in good demand, and will continue to be. The same may be said of light harness teams. The effectiveness of whitewash in the poultry house is much increased by applying it hot and getting it in- 10 the cracks and corners. Always odd plenty of salt. The best effect is produced upon scalded poultry by dipping them in- tc hot water after they are picked, and then putting them into cold wa- ter until thoroughly cooled. Times have so changed that no careful poultryman thinks of feed- ing much soft poultry food, nor of placing it upon the ground. He feeds dry food mostly, and puts it into troughs or upon boards. The currycomb and brush are two articles which should be made daily use of in every stable.

The government has for some time owned several railroads, but those now acquired wiil vastly increase its holdings. and in fact practically abol- ish private ownership of this means of transportation in the republic. Minister of Finance Limantour, in ex- plaining to the Mexican congress the reasons which prompted the govern- ment to consummate the great rail- road merger by which the republic comes into possession of the two great trunk lines of the country, to- gether with thousands of miles of subsidiary lines, said that if this de- fensive action had not been taken by Mexico, some of the great railway systems of the United States would have entered the republic and swal- lowed its transportation facilities.

He will swiftly draw a sled carrying 600 pounds, and this load can cover 30, 50 and even 90 miles a day. Reindeer teams now carry the mails from Kotzebue to Point Barrow, Alaska, a .distance of 650 miles—the most northerly pest route in the world. No food is car- ried for the deer. At the end of his journey, or at any stopping place, he is turned loose, and at once breaks through the snow to the white moss which serves as food. Keep Your Bloed Pare.
