OneAJeea Fin a Sail How the Dor ado Is Couflht. One of the most interesting of fish of Japanese waters Is the Oriental sail fish (Histtophorus orientals). The generic name, given by Dr. Gunther, means sail bearer, and refers to the huge dorsal fin possessed by the spe cies. The fin stands higher than the body above It and Is used as a sail before the wind, says the zoologist. It is a large fish, 10 feet in length and weigh ing 164 pounds. They swim about usually In pairs In rough and windy weather with ihe huge flns above the water. It Is a favorite food fish, and tho annual catch is nearly 2,000,000 pounds. The sail fish is caught by means of a harpoon. Origin of the Loving Cup. Our modern loving cup doubtless is derived from the cup used In a queer custom which had Its birth amidst the gallantry of the middle nges. The guest9 were placed two and two, man and woman together, and they drank from the same cup, and ate from the same dish, which was called "eating In the same porringer." In families tJie same goblet served for all. Saint Berlanda's daughter washed her fath er's goblet before drinking from It, on the pretense that he was leprous, which so exasperated the Saint that he disinherited his daughter.

Milk from Beans. The Japanese have discovered a cheap substitute for the milch cow in the form of a tiny bean. The juice, which is extracted by a special pro cess from the bean, is said to be an excellent vegetable milk, the proper ties of which render It highly suita ble for use In tropical countries. The preparation, according to the Java Times, la obtained from the saja bean, a member of the leguminous family of plants, and a popular article of food among the poorer classes of Chi nese and Japanese. In making the vegetable milk the beans are first of all softened by soaking and .boiled In water. The resultant liquor is ex actly similar to cows' milk In appear ance, but Is entirely different in its composition. The Judge's Airy Persiflage.

THE YOUNG FLOCK. The young (lock of poultry U begin ning to feather, and look like grown ups. Now's the time we transfer them from their coops, which are usually too small for their comfort, and ar range to have them roost in the reg ular poultry-house. But we are planning to make a complete renovation of the entire building before we consign these early birds, the most promising ot the flock, to their new quarter.. It won't do to run any risks at this stage of the game. The old nesting will be carried out, burned and replaced with fresh, new nests. The roosts will be wash ed thoroughly In trn qu'.vrts ot strong soapsuds into which one gal lon of brine and one quart of co:iI oil (kerosene) have been mixed. The entire building will bo sprayed with a like solution (a gill of crude car bollfl acid Ptlrred into the mixture, will greatly ndd to the effectiveness of the work). Then, after making sure that all of the droppings are removed, the dirt on tho floor will be sparled up all of which will Insure fresh, clean quarters and the complete annihila tion of both iMe and mite pests. Of course, we must be sure that the young chickens are free from lice be fore th!s change is made, even It we have to dip them In order to do so. A little lard rubbed on the head and under the wings may be suffici ent to remove the few lice found on them, but at any rate, they must be gotten rid of. Having once made these thorough preparations, and Installed tho ynunj (look In their new home, they Alii like It better than tho close coops they have bfen huddling Into during these hot nights. They will nlso de velop more rapidly, and by the time they are t fully matured, they will have become so accustomed to their new quarters, that they will stirt right In to laying, and keep it up al! winter long. Another Important Item: We keen the' very earliest and choicest of tho flock for layers. Don't allow Hip high price paid for spring chickens to tempt you to sell those which would bring you the most money. You Blmply cannot afford It. By keep ing your late-hatched chicks, you'll have to feed them through tho win ter for nothing. They will not lay till the next spring. Then, too, one wants to breed up toward winter layers, and late chickens won't do that as well as the earlier ones. So push the young flock right along. A halt now may mean a etamted and unprofitable flock. Give an abundance of pure, cool water. FurniBh plenty of pleasant shade. ITnth cooler weather Bets In. feed the lighter grains, rather than too much heatrproduclng corn. Keep them away from the older flocks, If pos sible, for their young, rapidly devel oping bodies need more . food and nourishment than those of the fuily matured fowls. Don't forget the egg producing qualities of green bone. In short, keep a sharp lookout for the cleanliness and comfort of the young flock, seeing that they are in prime' condition when they start through the winter, , and you'll find It a little time mighty profitably spent. M. Al bertus Coverdell, In the Indiana r'armer. , TRAP .XESTS HAKE RECORDS. A trap nest Is a simple device to catch the hen when she enters to lay. As she passes Into the nest she presses against a trigger which holds up tho door and it falls down be hind her. When she has laid the egg it ia numbered to correspond with the number on the hens' log band. This enables the breeder to keep each hens' eggs separate 7ith perfect ac curacy. Attempts to Improve the egg-producing qualities of the hen date to the domestication of the hen, font it has only been within the last few years that rapid pro gress has been possible In this work. Vhe inability to determine the good layers has been the difficulty. With the perfection of the trap nest this difficulty has been remove, and many poultry breeders are now engaged In the production of egg laying strains of fowls. The great majority of people make no selection of bens from which to hatch their stock. The eggs of the whole flock are kept together, and when eggs are desired for hatching they are selected from a general bas ket. x It has been assumed and is shown by trap nest records that eggs thus selected in the spring of the year are from the poorer rather than from the better layers. This Is because the bens that have not been laying dur ing the winter will lay very heavily during the springy season. Kansas Farmer Star. EARLY MOLTING. Where winter eggs are desired, lf. Is an Important aid to have the hens molt early so that their new plum age will be grown in by the time bad weather commences. A method that has for the past few years- been used with considerable success for causing fowls to pass through the molting period early and uniformly, consists in withholding part of the fowlst food for about two weeks, which stops egg production und reduces the flesh of the fowls, and then feeding heavily on a ration sui'able for the formation of the feathers and general upbuilding of the system. This method was tried at the West Virginia: Experiment Station with good results. The hens molted earlier and with more uniformity than had been the case during preceding years, and entered the winter In better con dition than similar fowls fed con tinually during the molting period on an egg-produetlon ration. Whether this method Is employed or not, It Is best to elve the fowls a more nitrogenous ration than or dinary. The addition of a little lin seed meal . during the molting period will aid in the production of a new coat of feathers. An Increase In the amount of animal feed will also be beneficial, and an occasional feed of sunflower seeds 'will make the new plumage come In smooth and oily. Economists. CURE FOR LIMBER NECK. When fowls have a free range on a farm it Is almost Impossible to keep every decaying thing out of their reach. Lost year my chickens be gun dying with limber neck and of course the first thing I did was to look for the cause. It took me sev eral days to find and when I did It proved to be the grass clippings from the front yard that had been piled in the chicken yard and was decay ing and alive with maggots. 1 had lost several young chickens, but when one of my best B. P. Rock roosters was taken 1 begun hunting a cure. My mother was with me and told me to give him molasses. I gave him a tablospoonful every two or three hours, and he was well In a day or two. Since then I have told several of my neighbors and the mo lasses have always proven effective. I used sorghum, but I suppose any kind of molasses would do. The hatchet Is very effective, but It la poor consolation when your fine fowls are dying in spite of all your care and precaution. Mrs. D. C. Amos, In the Farmers' Home Journal. GEESE CLEAN PROFIT. Geese come as near being clear profit as any stock raised on the farm. Geeso make their living large ly on grass and are practically self supporting. They do not require a large pasture field, but one that pro duces a good yield. Add a little grain occasionally and you will have no trouble raising geese. They only requlro water for drinking purposes, same as a hen. They are louse-and-mite-proof, are seldom subject to any kind of diseaise, and hawks seldom prey upon the young goslings. Some complain that a goose Is a nuisance; so are hogs If they are not con fined to their pasture. Large num bers of gecso should be raised every year. Commercial Poultry. MANURE OF FOWLS. If properly kept and Judiciously ap plied to land, the manure produced by a flock of fowls Is said to be worth nearly one-half the value of the food consumed; and yet little account Is taken of the droppings when an es timate is made of the profits from the flock. Farmers' Home Journal. RUNNING STREAM. A goose farm should have a run ning Btream of puro water so situat ed that the fields may be laid out on both sides of the Btream. The fields should consist of good pasture with a variety of grasses and so sufficient Blze to support a gander and three geese with their growing goslings.-" Farmers' Home Journal. NOTES. When your fowls lay soft shelled eggs, they should be fed a ration strong In lime. The poultry business Is not made up of a few big things which we can do In a day, but of little things which never will cease to come up for our attention. Dry quarters for the ducks and geese to sleep In are absolutely neo essary. The fact that they are wat er fowls docs not mean that they will thrive In damp quarters "Scaly leg" is contagious as well as an eyesore. Use coal oil freely on their shanks. Thoroughly mix coal oil, sulphur and lard and apply It three times each week until a cure Is affected. Pour a gallon of boiling water over a pound of lime. When settled pour It over eggs which you have packed small end down in a stone jar, and set in cool place. It Is claimed the eggs will keep three months. The difference In cholera an3 severe indigestion is that Indigestion can be successfully handled with proper feeding, while cholera kills so rapidly you haven't time to ad minister drugs even lf you knew It would cure. Don't forget that bumble foot coms from a bruise caused 'by the fowls alighting from high perches. Make yourroost not over 24 'inches .from the floor, so as to prevent a great distance for the fowls to alight on leaving the perch. The prairie dog is one of the most dainty of animals.
