The ones int died are very fat, as are the sick one. He does not name any of the eyinp- imnt, but I don't need them to tell what is the matter with them—ten much dry food, too much corn, too mach constipating food and no moon - lace. The Iambs have "the stretches," state constipation. No sheep, much leo Iambs, can be safely fed on dry food over 90 days. They are almost sure to die with constipation If fed longer, and Mae will "peter out" in leo time.

It is • serious mistake to put up sheep or Iambi for fattening without providing to feed, at least once a day, on some kind of mots or corn ensilage. I like both roots and ensilage, oue feed of each every day, and don't find anything that pays better than to provide them.

The insuperable objection too perma- nent standard teems 10 me 10 lie ice the fact that as the standard sets forth au ideal fowl and as ideals change from year to year it can remain true only as it suffers a change to briug it into bar• muuy with the new ideal. Whether it be good or bad for poultry breeding— and 1 am enough of an optimist to think it good—ideals will sad do change. 1f our standard is to set forth an ideal fowl, it mast change with the change in the ideal. A permanent standard presupposes that ideals are flied and, that the mak- ers of the standard have seen the ut- most progress of which all the varieties of fowls are capable.

I know that there are those who declare the old time fowls equal to the modern ones, jest as there are those who nigh for the good old times before steam and elec- tricity had transformed the conditions d life. But I am sufficiently familiar with the old time fowls to know that such ideas are absolutely false and mis- leading. The good old times are a fic- tion, and the good old fowls, compared with the modern. a delusion. Progress is written all over poultry breeding, as well as over everything else. Poets may sing of a golden age in the paet,.but his- tory shows that the golden age is in the future and that the present L the best age the world has ever seen.

We May be able to an- ticipate the development of a few years, though even in that we sometimes err, but none of us possesses the prophetic eye which can detect what will be the development at the end of the first dec- ade of the uext century. Do spite the change introduced at Bore ton I like the idea that our standard should not be revised oftener than once in five years. for we ought to be able to anticipate an much as that, bot I equal- ly like the idea that if revision is then needdd, if ideals have changed. if fowls have developed, a revision can be bad.

Much has been said and written about the desirability of selling eggs by weight instead of by the dozen, and there seems some plausibility in the statement that the larger egg should sell at a higher price than a small egg, but there are other things to be taken into consideration in deciding the actual value of the egg to the consumer than the weight. Has any one ever tasted the relative weight of the shells alone in eggs of different +lees? Every poultry keeper knows that Nome bens in a flock will lay eggs with extraordinarily thick shells and others nnnenally thin and has probably rejected both for sitting, the one from • fear that the chicken could not break through the thick shell and the other because the hen would be apt tp break it in the nest If the two were of equal size, the thicker shelled •-gg would be likely to be the heavier one, but perhaps no more valuable for toil purposes. as people do not usually eat the shell If they were of egmal weight while in the .bell. after the ' bell wnst taken off the thin shelled Due would have the greater weight of edibb food.

Italy's Crushing Tates. F. Marion Crawford, the noveliet• who has lived much in Italy and owns property there, pointe to the crnshi::;. weight of taxes as one of the causes r existing discontent among the Italie'. people.

As there is no limit of es. tate, real or personal, below which tax- ation is not applied, he finds it easy to understand the enormous emigration which of late years has crippled Italian agriculture by sensibly diminishing the farming population, while leaving upon the hands of the government an im• manse arca of farm land confiscated for overdue taxes, which no one could be Inde: -ed to take under the present con ditione even as a gift. Such a erudition of things be regards as simply an in- cipient form of national bankruptcy.— Utica Press. ' A Dlaereparey.

The making of batter thnt in a tem- perature of 90i degrees will still have the ability to hold up its head and at the senie time have a gond flavor is not - so very difficult it rare is exercised be- forehand. Cream should be lint into the churn at the lowest p oesible tempera- ture at which the butter will COMO, and iv getting this temperature the temperature of the room in which the churn has stood should be taken into 000sideration. A churn that has been standing out of doors in a temperature of 80 degrees will raise the temperature of the cream higher then would be thought unless the matter had been ac- tually tested with a thermometer. If foe is to be had, allow the churn to stand for half an hour filled with ice water. This will cool the wood sufih- ciently to prevent the outside tempera - rare from having very much effect. As to just bow low the cream may be put into the churn each must find out for himself. I hays put in cream at 60 degrees and had no trouble in churning. bnt the outside temperature had warm- est the butter ap to 60 by the time it ' had come. Keep the cream from getting too soar, keep it well stirred and churn it as cold as it will Tome, and good batter must almost surely be the relult.
