Poultry would be healthier if not con- fined in any building to roost in at night, for most houses for this pur- pose are entirely too close.

A few days passed vary pleasantly, and then. alas! he fell into the snare of the fowler, literally. A man lived a few miles from the barber's home Why made the snuring of birrls his business. Some of the birds ha stuffed and sold; others, again. were sold to hotel; near ’by. to be served up in delicdte tidbits to fusâ€" tidi-zvus guests. ‘Much to his sur- prise, Jone found himself one day in the fou'ler's net, in compiny with :1 large number of birds as frightened as himself. The fowler began draw- ing out the birds, one after another. and wringing their necks. Joe saw that his turn was coming, and some- thing must be done. It was clear that the. fowler could not ask ques- tions, so J03 piped out: "I'm Joe 1" tow ler. “ B .1 d "B2111 company." Now, it came to pass one! day. that the. starling escape-d from his cage and flew away to enjoy his liberty. The burber- was in despair. Joe was the life. of the shop; many :1 custqmer came attracted by the fame of the bird, and the barber saw his receipts falling off. Then, too. he loved the bird, which had proved so apt a pupil. But all efforts to find the stray bird were in vain. He was an English starling, and was owned by a barber. A starl'mg can be taught to spank, 211111 to speak well. too.

They are preferred by shippers, slaughters or exporters. They look better, feed bettenr', sell better and kill lvtter. The man that feeds horned cattle is handi- capped from 10 to 25 cents per hun- dredweight in most cases.

It is now removed to an- other vat similar 'm construction to the first, where the mass at this stage of the process has a very bad odor, the next step is to remove this dis- agreeable and disgusting smell. This isdone by pumping the fat up in a pipe by means ofa rotary pump and discharging it into the vat again through a strainer which allows it to fall into small streams. The expos- ure 0]. the fat to the air for some time removes the odor. After the fat has been sufficiently serrated in this manner it is ready for the next step. This is the adding of about one-fourth as much skim milk as there is fat. A perfect emulsion of the fat and skim milk is made by the some pumping operation. except that the strainer is removed. The emulsion is then run into a vat of ice water, where it is quickly chilled taking the granular form and look- ing like butter before it is salted and worked. It is now salted and worked and printed or packed in tubs ready for the market. Est“ 6 Home g mm 'IHE \VOMAN “'ITH THE BROOM.

Each of we put into the purse an equal amount,culculat- ed to last dun'Lng the day, on excur- sion. and divided whatever was left over when one of the party left us, or \\ ban we wished to make up our in- dividual accounts. Instead of dis« pu'ti‘ng each time whose turn it was to pay for tickets, or trying to lelde a. fee of four cents among five per-7 sons, it was all done from the common fund and entered as a sum total for the day‘s expenses.” This idea of a common purse, \i. here two or three or more persons are traveling together and each paying his or her own expenses, seems an ad- mirable one, and calculated to save vexalious worry over small expenses and details in trying to "settle up.’ And to divide the responsibilities of leadership by each carrying the purse on alternate days is agood idea also. “Persons who are traveling on a definite and limited sum of money should as far as possible know what their expenses will probably be and should allow us margin at; least oneâ€" Iifth of the. whole. sun).

Make a strong tea and put half a pint in a. galloul of the drinking water. The {owls that are affected should have a tablespoonful of the strong tea poured down them if they will not drink it. A SUGGESTION TO THE INTENDING TRAVELLER. Ethel Ramsey gives some sugges- Llons which though intended primari- ly for those goimg abroad are pertln- em to those who trmvel at home. A fenv of her observations follow: Elle first preventive is not to allow any of -thve causes to occur. Keep the fowls exercising, feed a variety, give plenty of grit and water, and do not feed thin much, and you will not be liable to get the diseasedn your flock. U-se [plenty of disinfectant, such as air-slacked limue, carbolic acid water, whitewash and the like. If you find the disease is in your flock, begin at once to find the cause and remove it: before very many of the birds get sick. There are several causes for this an- noying disease. Hens that are too fat and are over-[ed will get- it readily. Dick 01’ exercise is one great cause. and 'melroper food or too much of the same kind of food is also the cause of a great deal of lb. Lack of grit even may cause it, also lack of good, pure water. symptoms are similar to cholera. and it is often called such; yet there is a wide difference. While indigestion is not. contagious, cholera is; while in- digestion is slow in its work, cholera is quick. Chuleru does its deadly work in a few hours, while indigestion may last a week 0'!‘ more. The best symptom of this disease is the nature of the droppings, which are usually quit-e. soft and are passed often. The comb turns pale and the fowl eats but little. It acts as if it were entirely worn out. It mOpes about, gradually getting weaker and eating less, until it dies or is cured. Hens that are fat and have a limited range get this disease quite often, but before it is over they ‘will be very perm r This is a disease quite common among fowl.
