KILL OFF THE RATS.
Hew These Poultry House Nuisance
May Be Exterminated.
The following is taken from a pub
lication of the United States depart
ment of agriculture known as bulle
tin No. 297 and entitled "Methods of
Destroying Bats:"
For poisoning rats in buildings and
yards occupied by poultry the follow
ing method is recommended: Two
wooden boxes should be used, one con
siderably larger than the other and
each having two or niore holes in the
sides large enough to admit rats. The
poisoned bait' should be placed on
the bottom and near the middle of
the larger box, and the smaller box
should then be inverted over it. Rats
thus have free access to the bait,
but fowls are excluded.
Trapping, if persistently followed,
is one of the most effective methods
of destroying rats. The improved
modern traps with a wire fall released
by a baited trigger and driven by a
toiled spring have marked advantages
over the old forms, and many of them
may be used at the same time. These
traps, sometimes called guillotine
traps, are of many designs, but the
more simply constructed are to be pre
ferred. Probably those made entirely
of metal are best, as they are less
likely to absorb and retain odors. '
Sundry baits for guillotine traps are
given and methods of baiting, and the
bulletin gives the following:
By the persistent use of traps, occa
sional resort to poison, and the exer
cise of forethought in the construction
of farm buildings so as to minimize
the opportunities for harborage, farm
ers and others may prevent the greater
part of the loss and annoyance they
now experience from rat depredations.
The same statement applies in great ,
measure to city and village conditions;
hence co-operation In the warfare on
rats is particularly important and can
not be too strongly urged.
A Tidy Sum From a Good Flock,
A correspondent sends the following
account of the extra good returns re
ceived from a flock of 130 hens owned
by Miss Marcia Warren of West Bald
win, Me.:
During last year 1,490 5-0 dozen eggs
were produced, which sold for $384.87.
The sales of poultry amounted to $94.
C2, making the total receipts $479.49.
The feed bill was $220.13, leaving
$259.30 net profit, or practically $2
per hen. Miss Warren did all the
work herself, hatching all chicks by
hen power. The eggs are sent to
Boston to a retail dealer. No breeding
stock was sold nor eggs for extra
prices. Dry feeding is practiced.
A Plan to Secure Dryness.
There Is no problem which Is more
annoying to the average poultryman
than that of securing dryness in his
henhouses. "Without dryness it is al
most a waste of time to attempt to
raise chickens. The illustration given
Safxf or Sandy. L-oam.
f yi Smei Seo'nos or Gray.
Natural ' G-Wfd Lovmf.
herewith Is self explanatory. The plan
followed has been used in many por
tions of the country with marked suc
cess, and as the extra work Involved is
really Insignificant, it would be a good
thing for the poultry industry of Amer-j
lea if the arrangement were more gen
erally adopted.
"Cannibal" Chickens.
Some broods of chicks will form can
nibal habits of picking one another in
spite of almost anything one can do.
When once the habit Is formed It Is
very difficult to remedy. Divide the
chicks into small flocks, not over
twenty-five or thirty each, provide
them with a litter of mow sweepings,
cut clover or alfalfa to scratch in and
see that they are plentifully supplied
with granulated bone and beef scrap
In addition to their grain food. Keep
charcoal always before them.
Chicks Dying In the Shell.
There are many eauses of chicks
dying in the shell, chief of them being
poor condition of the breeding stock
from which the eggs for hatching
were taken. Breeding from overfat
hens from birds that have been forced
for heavy laying, or that are debili
tated from any cause, is a common
source of this trouble. Where imma
ture breeding stock is used there will
usually be a considerable percentage
of chicks dead in the shell.
Keep Pekin Ducks.
Every farmer who has a stream
running through his farm should keep
Fekin ducks. It pays well to keep
them for the feathers aloue. There is
a good demand generally in one's own
neighborhood for the feathers. Some
duck raisers say that the duck does not
require water to bathe in. This ts
true of the little ducks, but I would
not deprive the old ducks of this pleas- j
nre, says Fannie Wood in Farm Jour
nal. Blindness In Fowls.
The most common causes of blind
ness lu fowls are conjunctivitis and
keratitis, which generally develop from
colds, and are associated with some
what pronounced roupy conditions.
Blindness, though, doubtless does oc
cur sometimes from other causes.
Tinted Eggs.
It is not uncommon to have a few
tinted eggs from white egg varieties
due to hereditary causes.
ALL OVER THE HOUSE. I
Directions For Compounding Roee Jar.
Household Lore. '
4 To fill a rose jar pluck the petals
of full blown roses daily and pack
them between layers of salt in
a glass; or earthenware jar. When
all are gathered empty the jar upon
a broad platter and loosen the
massed petals, that the salt may
reach every part. Break lumps and
cakes with the fingers until you
have disintegrated the mass.
Mix well with the salted roses
four drops of oil of rose, ten of oil
of chiris, twenty of oil of melissne,
tjrenty of oil of eucalyptus, ten of
bergamot and two drams of alcohol,
one dunce -of powdered orris root,
half an ounce of violet powder and
the same of rose and of heliotrope
powder, one-half teaspoonful of
mace, a quarter teaspoonful of cin
namon and the same of cloves. Toss
and turn the petals until the oils
and powders are thoroughly incor
porated with them and pack in a
clean jar. Cover and set away , to
ripen. It will be fragrant for years
if kept in closely covered jars.
Helpful Hints.
To remove grease spots from car
pets use a little pure ox gall. j
To clean willow ware scrub with
salt water and wipe dry with clean
cloth. , ' i
Wash furniture before varnishing '
with hot table beer. j
In storing away stove pipe brush '
over with a gill each of linseed oil
and kerosene and a tablespoonful of ,
, turpentine. j
To clean spots on leather, make a ,
paste of mealy potatoes, vinegar, '
turpentine and dry mustard. Bub ;
off when dry.
Grape Juice.
Stem the grapes, put in a crock
and wash. Cover the grapes with !
water. Boil till the seeds separate 1
from pulps, then strain through j
cheesecloth. To every quart of '
juice add a pint of sugar. Boil until j
quite a thick sirup and can as any
fruit. When ready for use add
water so as to make it whatever ;
consistency desired. While boiling ;
do not allow the juice to jelly. j
Simple Spool Holders. I
A simple little device for holding
the spool when crochetting is a wife j
hairpin with the ends bent in at i
right angles a quarter of an inch
above each end. Snap the ends into
the holes in a spool or into the sides
of a ball, hook the hend of the pin
over a button on the waist or some
other convenient place and run no
further risk of soiled wool or silk
through dropping.
Tomato Salad.
For a pretty and most delicious
salad use solid ripe tomatoes ' (as
many as persons to be served), wash
the tomatoes and scoop out a por
tion of the centers, filling with
crisp chopped cucumbers, then place
each tomato on three or four crisp
lettuce leaves. Serve with either
mayonnaise or French dressing.
Dry Cleaning Hairbrushes.
To clean hairbrushes take a cup
of cornmeal and fill the brush, rub
bing gently with the hand. As it
absorbs the grease and dirt shake it
out and use fresh meal till the brush
is cleaned thoroughly. This is bet
ter than ammonia, as there is no
water to injure or loosen the back of
the brush.
To Remove Rust.
For removing rust from polished
steel an effective mixture is made
by taking ten parts of tin putty,
eight parts of prepared buckhorn
and 250 parts of spirits of wine.
These ingredients are mixed to a
soft paste and rubbed in on the sur
face until the rust disappears. En
gineer. Baby Bands. ,
Take the best parts of soft old
woolen underwear and cut two
pieces ? by 8 inches. Stitch the
sides together with embroidery
Bilk. Take two pieces of ribbon
four inches long for shoulder straps.
This makes a fine cheap band.
Dust In the Eye.
Should anything get into the
eye, one drop of sweet oil should
be dropped in the corner of it, but
if it be mortar or lime, bathe with
a weak solution of water and vine
gar. Housekeeper.
Tomato Butter.
Several pounds of tomatoes, three
pounds of sugar, one pint of vine
gar, one ounce of cinnamon, one
half ounce of cloves, ground; boil
till thick. Can and seal.
The Picnic Salad.
If a salad is to be carried with
the picnic lunch, pack the ingredi
ents in a wooden chopping bowl and
pack in center a fruit jar filled with
cracked ice and sealed.
Keeps the Salt Dry. j
To prevent salt from bocoming
damp or hardening in the shaker,
place a few grains of rice in the
shaker when filling. I
SOME DAIRY HINTS.
Ration For a Heifer Calf A Cure For
- Sore Teats. :
In rearing heifers for the future
dairy herd we should feed them in a
-ay to avoid the fat forming habit.
Fat calves are pretty to look at, but
are not being handled to make good
cows. A calf that Is fed to lay on fat
will, when it reaches the age of milk
production, continue the habit, divert
ing the feeds to fat rather than to
milk. A heifer calf should be fed a
ration largely protein in content sweet
skim milk, oats, bran, oilmeal and
clover hay being among the best feeds,
says a writer in 'Kimball's Dairy
Farmer. The skim milk fresh from the
separator, will be the best source for
the major part of the ration up to four
months of age. It should be fed to the
calves ' in galvanized pails. These
should be thoroughly washed and
scalded dally to avoid contaminating
the milk with germs of disease. The
feeding should be . done where the
calves cannot reach each other's ears
to suck them.
In dry teat milking we often find
cows with short teats that cannot be
milked in that way, or a cow may have
tender teats that will not submit to
this style of milking. Again, weMiave
during the spring and fall months chap
ped and scratched teats that cause the
cows to kick. To avoid all this trouble
and yet keep within the rules of sani
tary milking, buy a five or ten pound
can of yellow vaseline. With this at
your milk bench in an open box you
can make the cow's teats sound and as
soft as velvet
The freshening heifer can be treated
daily for .some time before freshening,
anointing her teats and handling them
at the same time. In doing this you
will have no breaking-in period. She
will submit to being milked like an old
cow. To use the vaseline properly,
take an amount the size of a bean or a
little larger, owing to" the size of teats
to be treated. With the free hand
brush off the udder, then anoint the
teats with the vaseline and milk the
cow. Ton will find that the teats be
come so soft that they can be milked .
with the greatest ease. There will be
no sores. j
Cure For Dirty Milk.
The question is. What is the remedy
for dirty milk? Some say if we ster
ilize or pasteurize all will be well.
But why injure the biologic properties
of milk by heating? Why permit the
dilution of milk by excrement, then kill
the bacteria by heat and swallow the
mixture? Why not prevent rather
than cure? The remedy is simple.
We should insist upon clean milk and
be willing to pay for it; encourage
the production of a sanitary supply
and refuse to buy excrement and pus;
buy of the man whose supply costs
a cent or two more per quart to pro
duce and let the sloven learn that
cleanliness is an asset and filth a
heavy load to carry. Charles Harring
ton, Secretary Massachusetts State
Board of Health. '
Su6cessful Dairying.
The man who tests his cows knows
accurately what their performance is.
He keeps books with his cows as a
merchant keeps books for everything
that passes through his store. The
scales and the Babeock tester are In
valuable aids to the dairyman.
Feeding milk too cold or too much at
one time will cause scours.
A half cupful of wheat flour and a
raw egg in the milk given to a calf
with scours will often prove effectual.
Cows will vary considerably in the
amount of solids In their milk and
especially in the amount of butter
fats.
The kitchen has a lot of odors which
will not Improve the milk.
Every dairy utensil should be thor
oughly washed as soon as emptied,
then rinsed and well scalded with boil
ing water. If, in addition, they can
have a good sun bath In a sweet, airy
place, so much the better.
Select a dairy breed and stick by It
Be sure it Is a dairy breed.
Weeding out the poor animals and
keeping the good ones will soon build
np a herd.
It is better to wash the milk out of
the butter in the churn than to work it
out on the worker.
It is Important to ascertain how
much food it requires to keep the cow
In good, thrifty condition, how much
food beyond this Is converted into
milk and at what point she begins to
lay on flesh.
Keep the calf pens clean and dry.
Calves never do well In dirty, damp
quarters.
It is easier to keep cows from getting
out by fixing the fences good before
hand than it is to break them of the
bad habit after they once get it
.Cottonseed meal produces the largest
yield and the richest cream of any
food that can be used, but care must
be taken not to give In large quanti
ties, as it is very likely to cause scours
Ton always need a dairy thermome
ter, but especially at this time of th;
year. There is nothing better to te!
you when the milk is cool.
Training and feeding may be made
a valuable means of developing tin
capabilities of cows and a prelimlnar
step to their improvement by breedinp:
A little grain will help even on gooc'
pasture.
A good cow usually bears the mark?
of her excellence with her.
Leaving butter fat in the milk h
throwing money to the pigs.
By kneading and rubbing the udder
of young heifers and drawing the teat?
a good form may be given t this or
gan, and the milk secretion may be
considerably increased.

DAIRY BRIEFS.
; ,
In the
Dairy
Is a bull worth $8,000? It's not an
easy matter to show In dollars and
cents Just how a bull is worth $S,000.
A great many men realize that it pays
to have a good sire at the head ot
their herd and are willing to pay $100
to $150. A herd of cows that produce
300 pounds of butter fat a year re
quires good blood at its head to keep
up that yield.
It takes as much room to care for a
200 pound cow as a 300 pound one and sey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Brown Swiss

If this statement be true, the ques- thelr infants and how to test milk for
tion is, How much is a sire worth that quality and purity. Any special ln
will produce such cows if a scrub that formation desired concerning the dairy
will get 200 pound cows is worth $25?
A good sire ought to get on the average
twenty-five heifers a year. Now, if
these heifers will produce $20 to $25
apiece more butter per year than those
from the scrub bull It means an in
creased income of $500 to $625 per
year, or the Interest on $10,000.
The sire Is a getter of a crop of
calves each year, and his blood Is
handed down to the coming genera
tions through his daughters and sons,
which of course makes it impossible
to estimate exactly his value. It is an
open question whether the ordinary
breeder can afford to pay $8,000 or
COLANTHA JOHANNA LAD.
Sold for $8,000; bred by W. J. Gillett ot
Wisconsin and now owned by D. W.
and F. Field, Massachusetts.
$10,000 for an animal to head his herd.
Through the proper mating with such
animals and carefully raising their
get, there is no question but the man
with means and breeding ability can
make it pay. Of course it will not pay
In the first year or two with the in
creased production of .fat, but the
great value lies in the increased pro
duction of animals that will result
from the services of exceptionally
good sires.
Commenting in the foregoing words
on the sale of a bull at a remarkably
high price, Hoard's Dairyman adds:
Colantha Johanna Lad, herewith illus
trated, is out of an exceptonally good
cow and from a family of cows capa
ble of producing over 400 pounds of
fat in a year. HiB mother, Colantha
IV.'s Johanna, gave in one year as a
four-year-old 19,300 pounds of milk
containing 693 pounds of fat. During
her present lactation period she is
making an official test, and up to Aug.
1, or in seven months and nine days,
she had produced 18,400 pounds of
milk containing 673 pounds of fat.
A cow with such wonderful records
and backed by female ancestors on
both sides that are exceptional capa
ble dairy animals makes a bull from
her worth many times that of the or
dinary pure bred animal. Eight thou
sand dollars is a big price to pay for a
sire, but 19,309 pounds of milk con
taining 693 pounds of fat is a big rec
ord, and if nothing happens to her dur
ing the next three months she will far
exceed this and set a new standard
in the production of fat
The Output of Oleo.
There has been a big increase in the
amount of the output of oleomarga
rine during the past fiscal year, which
ended June 30. The increase over the
previous year is over 28 per cent- The
reason for this is not hard to find.
First is the high price of butter that
has prevailed during the year, being
from 3 to 5 cents higher than has been
known for several years. Then the
poor quality of much of it has also
had its influence.
A feature in the situation that would
make the report look better from the
dairyman's standpoint is the large
amount that has been exported dur-
Ing the year. As long as the price of
butter continues to advance or hold
where it is there is no- need for alarm
over this increase in the output of
oleomargarine. It emphasizes the fact
that dairymen must make more and
better butter. Chicago Dairy.
Dairy Ration For South Carolina.
Cottonseed meal and corn silage foi-m
by far the cheapest -dairy feeds avail
able, to our dairymen. The cost of
such a' ration is only slightly more
than half as much as that of the com
mon dairy ration now fed in this
state.
Our good results in the exclusive
feeding of cottonseed meal and corn
silage as a dairy ration are undoubted
ly largely attributable to the fact that
the corn silage was made from well
matured corn rich in grain, making it
especially rich in carbohydrates. Un
less silage is especially rich In grain a
ration consisting entirely of corn silage

Hoard's Dairyman says these prices
will compare very well with those
which govern in the United States.
Age and the Milk Flow.
Director J. L. Hills of the Vermont
experiment station, whose strong in
terest in dairy matters' has been well
proved, has lately investigated the
problem of age as it affects the milk
value of cows. Figuring on the year
ly records of ninety-nine cows, he con
cludes that the cow makes a gain of
one-sixth In flow in her third year and
attains the maximum flow during the
fifth year of her life.
Export Cheese.
Four great principles laid down by
Secretary Barr of the Ontario Dairy
men's associataion for the making of
export cheese are sweet, clean, whole
some milk, cool curing, a clean man
and a clean factory. High grade ex
port cheese cannot be produced with
out these essentialities. Keeping rec
ords of operations is very necessary.
Acidometer must be used in determin
ing acidity. The amount of acid will
vary decidedly in different localities
and kind of feed supplied the herd.
The wire curd knife is preferable.
The curd must be cooked according to
o;,i;t mi. ,, . ,
'-"'""S ouuu.u Ci-
wwi ou 10 o.s uegrees. xne aim in
producing export stock is to have a
cheese that is meaty and smooth, pos
sessing a silky fine texture.
After Separating.
Too much emphasis cannot be given
to two points in handling cream
namely', the quick and thorough cool
ing immediately after separating and
the caution in regard to the mixing of
the warm and the cold eream. Warm
cream should never be mixed with
cold. The result of mixing is always
quick souring.
That the natural tendency of things
at this time of the year is to Incor
porate too much water In the butter
is a warning to creamery butter mak
ers given by Professor G. L. McKay
in Dairy Progress. Repeated tests that
he has made demonstrate that butter
makers are quite liable to incorporate
too much water. He thinks locality
and feed have an important bearing In
this matter. Churning with the churn
two-thirds or more full and at high
temperature with large granules has a
tendency to Increase the percentage of
moisture. Trying to approach the 16
per cent limit is a dangerous operation.
Carrying Forward the Starter.
When an exceptionally good starter
Is secured it can be propagated from
day to day by adding a small portion
of it to a quantity of sweet skim milk,
enough milk being used to make the
necessary amount of starter for the
cream to be churned. This controls
the souring of the milk just the same
as the addition of starter to the cream
controls the souring of the cream.
Where one is churning every day this
Is a very good1 method for carrying
forward the starter. E. H. Webster.
The Color of Milk.
The Ideal flavor of milk might per
haps be regarded as a negative rather
than a positive flavor. It should be
slightly saline and sweet, with no aft
ar taste whatever. The color of milk
plays a more important part in getting
a good price for a good product than
some, are willing to admit and is af
fected by the individuality of the cow
and the feeding. By selecting for
each herd some cows that give a high 1
colored milk and discarding those
which Impart too much "sky blue," by
judiciously feeding with succulent
foods and alfalfa and clover hay and,
if necessary, some yellow cornmeal,
one can influence the color to a marked
degree.
