The easiest and simplest way to re move horr.s la to use caustic potash on the young calf Jnst as the embryo horns are appearing. One can get the potash stick* at any drug store.

Often after churning a long time the butter will lie soft and white and the buttermaker discouraged. This la especially the case If she does not have very much cream and saves ft several days to get enough for a churning. Then many housekeepers do not have a good cool pluce to keep their milk and cream, and Ice Is out of the question. It Is to such us these thut 1 wunt to tell one woman’s plan of mnklng sweet, hard, yellow butter In hot weather or cold—butter that will always sell above the market price. She usually churns from four to sir quarts of cream at a time-, and before she skims any cream Into the cream Jar she puts tlitre pounds of salt Into It, and then every time she puts In cream she stlra It thoroughly, so us to mix the salt well through the cream. The churning Is done lu the usuul man ner, nml the blitter always conies firin' and yellow. The butter Is washed, which take« out all the buttermilk with very little working, uud no salt Is ever put Into the butter. The salt put Into the cream makes the butter Just salty enough. Of course the but tennllk Is too salty for use, hut the ease with which the butter Is churned und Its superior quality more thun compen sate for that loee. À W o rd S U C C E S S WITH T U R K E Y S. MEAT FOR DUCKLINGS. "X| y\', I / D r v r lu p n M S t . In a recent experiment at the New York agricultural station, planned to bring out the effect and value of vari ous quantities of animal food In tbe rations, four similar lots of dack 1 togs, each of twenty-eight birds one week old, were fed for ten week». Two gralu ration* were used a* the basis, one containing seven part* corn rnoal, six parts animal meal, four parts wheat middlings and three parts wheat bran and tho other composed of two [uirts Chicago gluten meal and one part each of germ gluten meal and old process linseed meal. These were fed In varying proportion* to tbe different lots of ducklings and were so supple mented with unlmal meal and other foods that one lot received about 20 per cent of the protein In the ration from onluiul food, tho next lot 40 per cent, the next lot GO per cent and tbe fourth lot 80 per cent, Bono ash was used In the rations with smaller amount* of animal meal to prevent any possible deflclency of mineral matter In any rattan and to avoid any great differences In uinount of ash, for tho animal meal contained so much bona that rations In which It was freely used had a high percentage of ash constituents. This bone aim, which would bo unnecessary for or dinary focdlng, added considerably to the cost of the rations. The results of the experiment show that in the first month or so of the duckling’s life a largo proportion of the food can, with direct profit, be of ani mal products. With 00 per cent of such food In the ration the birds grew more rapidly than upon any other ra tion, while for the first month the cost of production was os low as with any. As the birds became larger tbo direct financial advantage In using large pro portions of animal food lessened und fiuully disappeared. B at the gain which would result from the early at tainment of marketable size still re mained, for when the GO per cent "lot would have weighed about 149 pounds as prepared for market the 20 per cent lot would have weighed ot*Y- 125 pounds. Tbe advantage of getting birds ready for market quickly Is often so decided that greater profit would He with the more costly ration. In this case the heavier feeding of animal products saved ationt two weeks’ tlm^ or product'll 15 per cent more of poul try in the same time. So far as this experiment goes It seems that it will pay to feed freely of animal food during tho first three to five weeks and deiiend after that more on Increasing pro[>ortlons of the cheap, cr grain foods. The exact proportion* most profitable to use and the be*t form of animal food to select will de pend npon the relative cost of different foods, the demand for the product And the price obtained.—Bulletin Ncuif f urt Experiment Station.

A. Nourse In Bella ble Poultry Journal. Rome turkey breeder* prefer to give old and young free range uud throw them wholly upou their own resources. Ot!w*r breeders give them full liberty to go where they like, but feed tbe hen and brood regularly. Still other* find It l>est to confine the poults or the hen* until the young turkeys u.*e well start ed. The natural way for a hen to do after the hatch Is complete 1* to take her brood Into the fields or Into the brush If there Is any. There she protects them from enemies and ft*ods them with such animal und vegetable food as she can find. The young raised In that manner ure strong and healthy, and when they get well started they grow rapidly. But heavy rains and period* of dump weather sometime* cuus$ heavy losses lu broods so raised, and various means nre taken to pre vent such loss by limiting the range for a longer or shorter time uftor hatching. One method I* to confine the turkey hen In a coop nnd nllntv the poult* to run at large. The coop for this pur pose» should not I k » less than four feet long by three wide anil high enough to allow the hen to stretch to her full height. Mens that have not been accus tomed to any kind of restraint seldom can be confined In u coop successfully. These coops must I k * moved dally to fresh locations, nnd the hen must be (lusted with lice killing powder once a week to keep down tho lice, which breed and* Increase rapidly when the turkey 1* unable to take a thorough dust bath. Unless the hen Is very tame she can not be let out for an occasional run. for It 1» not often possible to get her to go buck to the coop. For the young poults there Is noth ing l»etter thun stale (not moldy) bread, dampened with milk, for the first two days. After that a good quality of prepared chick food made of small and finely cracked grains Is n safe and dc slrable ration until the poults are large enough ,o eat wheat, cracked corn and other coarse food. Those that are In pens or whose mothers are confined In coops must be fed three full meals a day. Some whole corn should be pro vided for the hen, and fresh water should ho supplied at least twice euch day. The youngsters should not be fed as soon as they are hatched and dried off. They will be healthier and grow faster If no food Is supplied until they are at least two days (forty-eight hours) old. M e a t a s C h ir k F o o d . In a recent reixirt of experiments tn feeding chicks the Ithode Island experi ment station says: "The use of the proper proportion of animal food will pay a handsome profit through decreased mortality and In creased weight of ue chicks. "The experiment which led up to this conclusion was with an incubator hatch of 210 chickens. These were separated Into lots of nbout fifty each nnd placed In similar brooders. For thirty days nil conditions were kept alike except tho rations. Pen A was fed a balanced ration of grains, meat nnd green food. The chicks grew nnd thrived, and not one chick showed symptoms of diges tive disorder. The deaths amounted to 8.0 per cent. In pen B all animal food was withheld. The deaths were 0.5 per Cent,.of which 75 per cent had bowel trouble. Pen C was fed on grain nlonc, all animal food and all green food lav ing omitted from the ration. The deaths were 32.7 per cent, of which 76.3 per cent showed digestive trouble. In pen I) all grain food was omitted. The denths of chicks were 63.7 per cont, of which 85.8 per cent showed bowel trou ble. All the living chicks were weigh ed nt the close of the test, and pen A showed the greatest average weight.

T o the E d ito r:—Noticing tn your paper a statem ent of several persons regarding cures of deafness by Dr. Durriu.’ In the interest of the afflicted I wish through your pa|s-r to add my testimony to the efficiency of tho d octor's treatm ent of my case. About eight years ngo 1 contracted a severe cold, which settled In my head, resulting iu partial deafness of the left ear, so much so th a t l could not hear my watch tick when pressed it to the ear. Remaining thus until about a month ago, I had the grip with all the aggravating symptoms which attend this malady, ending in deafuoss of the right ear. I was much alarmed a t my condition, and was of coarse, a source of great annoyance and anxiety to the family, and I be gan to think of hunting up some specialist to tre a t me for mv disease. Noticing Dr. Darrin’s card in the pa per and remembering having done business with the firm of Drs. Darrin of Portland years ago, when I pub- lised the B road Ax In Eugene, I was too glad to call on the doctor ut Ills rooms In the Sineede Hotel and place myself under Ills treatm ent, and now I am able to state th at after a few days of treatm ent I am coineletely cured and can heur through both •■iirs as well as I ever couhl. i am also lielng successfully treated for eczema and asthm a. This rem arkable statem ent is made w ithout solicitation from tbe doctor o r any one else, with the be lief th a t It would be alm ost crim inal to withhold from the public a know l edge of the fact th at those afflicted as I was may find certain relief for deaf ness by applying to Dr. Darrin at the Smeede Hotel, i am 78 years old.
