MEAT AS AN EGG RATION.
With hens in confinement, more
than one poultry -raiser is finding it
utterly impossible to feed sufficient
meat to keep up the egg record, with-
out at the same time bringing illness
into the flock, inducing a loss of a
number of the best hens writes a cor-
respondent. This loss comes in two
ways, partly through indigestion and
liver troubles, partly through ovarian
difficulties. It is always the best hens
that suffer from these last, which
means, those who have been stimulat-
ed to lay the most eggs. Those that
suffer from indigestion may be those
with the weakest constitution, those
AO the most voracious appetites. In
our own yards, we have more loss
from these two troubles than from all
others combined.
It is not a question whether or not
meat brings eggs; one can run the
egg record up or down at will, by the
use or disuse of meat. The question is,
Is the gain great enough to pay a pro-
fit after deducting the loss caused by
overstimulation? Is it judicious to
feed hens meat continuously from ear-
ly babyhood ? Or to put it more dis-
tinctly and definitely how long can
one keep fowls in health while feeding
meat, say at the rate of a quart
a day to seventy-five hens? This is
rather close to two-fifths of an ounce
per hen, daily.
It is pretty generally known, I sup-
pose, that charooal and a liberal sup-
ply of green stuff will overcome, in
considerable degree, the ill effects of
the concentrated food.. But is it jud-
icious to raise chicks on charcoal,
and to feed hens on charcoal, as long
as we keep them? is it not the fact
that a large number of them are ex-
tremely liable to contract disease un-
der this treatment during the second
year that largely leads to the oft -
repeated injunction, to sell off the
hens at the end of their first year of
lay ing?
It is -to be understood that the word
"meat" in this connection means meat-
u.eal, or dried scrap. Doubtless there is
some difference in the various grades
of these products, as to the ffect
produced on the digestive tract. 'the
more concentrated they are, the more
valuable, from one point of view; but
also the more dangerous. 1 have
never yet seen meat fed daily to a
flock of fowls without inouctug, after
a greater or less period, disturbance
of the digestive tract, which show first
as diarrhoea, and afterwards run on
into recognized liver trouble, usually
to end in death if the treatment is
persisted in.
I think there is no manner of
doubt, in spite of the apparent high
price of cut clovers and ground meats,
that they are really among the cheap-
est of feeds. I am led to this ,conclu-
sion independently from the fact that
farmers who fed mostly grain, and
whose grain average them less than
two-thirds what mine costs me, invari-
ably give a larger estimate of the cost
of feeding a. hen par year than my own
carefully -kept accounts show. But
there are a number of other feeds
which are high in nitrogen,and per-
haps less expensrve than meat, and
which, it seems to me, might more
safely be used. Among these are lin-
seed meal, malt sprouts, and the glut-
en feeds. But actual cheapness is
partly a matter of first cost, partly
of availability, partly of results in
egg -basket and physique.
ENSILAGE.
Ensilage is considered the cheapest of
all foods for cattle, and corn can be
grown for ensilage later in the season
than for grain, as the ensilage corn
can be cut at any time should danger
of frost appear, though it is more
valuable when cut at that stage, dur-
ing which the oars of corn are glazing.
Some farmers drill their corn in, and
begin to use it as green food in sum-
mer at any period of growth, especial-
ly if the pastures are deficient, but
the younger the corn fodder the more
water it contains and the less nutri-
tion. An enormous amount of ensilage
or green corn fodder, can be grown on
an acre, and, as it must be cut up
fine before it Le packed in the silo, it
is always ready for use in the winter
season. A ton of ensilage in the silo
occupies about 50 cuoic feet, the space
required for a ton of hay being 500
cu:iic feet. A silo, therefore, will
hold ten times as much food in the
form of ensilage as the barn lift will
of hay. This is due to the fact that
the ensilage is pressed into the small-
est space possible in order to exclude
the air. .Baled h y, however, o. oupies
much less space than does loose hay,
but some kinds of hay will not keep/ ha
good condition for a length of time if
baled. Dry corn fodder is even more
bulky than hay, and takes up a larger
space, for which reason a large pro-
portion of the dry fodder eerop is
shocked in the tilde and eexposed to the
weather, its value being lessened as
the winter progresses. Ensilage has
the advantage of being succulent, af-
fording the animals a change from
dry food in winter, but so fax as actual
nutrition is concerned, it is not as
valuable as hay.
APPLES PICKED BEFORE TIIEY
ARE RIPE.
Buyers are largely responsible for
the picking of apples before they are
ripe says a veteran buyer. Recently I
undertook to buy a carload of apples
and had to buy 260 barrels in order to
get 100 good ones by repacking. I
asked the man from whom I bought
them why there was so much inferior
fruit and he replied that be bought
the orchard as it. ran, so much for
everything on the trees. He lost 50 to
60c. on every barrel.
As long as dealers will buy in thiS
manner and allow any kind of picking,
the losses will be great and there.wil I
be much green and inferior fruit, thus
reducing the price to the grower. For
this reason I insistupon proper grad-
ing in my own case. Them le certain-
ly much room for improbement in
most sections. The packages should
be uniform whether they bo barrels or
baskets, and the apples must be near-
ly of a. size. If everything is neatly
done there will be no diffilculty in dis-
posing of all our surplus apples.
CORN AS HORSE FEED,
Why are oats preferred to corn as
feed for horses? it is never the object
to fatten a horse for market, though
it should be in excellent, nondition at
all times. Oats contain more protein
than corn, and lees starch, but oats
contain fully as munh oil (or fat) as
corn, about 4 per cent, but the propor-
tion of 011 is too small to render eith-
er grain unfit for horses. It is the
starch in the corn that produces fat on
an animal. Corn contains nearly 69
per cent, of starch and oats about 45
per cent. Having more protein than
corn, and less starch, oats are there-
fore more suitable for horses. An-
other point in favor of oats is the
mineral matter, oats containing about
3 per cent, while corn contains only
one-half as pouch. t is this greater
proportion of mineral matter and pro-
tein in oats which places that grain
ahead of corn for young stock, as the
mineral matter supplies the lime of
the bones. Protein is the muscle -pro-
ducing material in foods. For cows
giving milk a ration of both oats and
corn, ground together, should give bet-
ter results than either, and if bran is
addedthe amount of protein and min-
eral matter will be further increased.
HORSES' TEETH,
When a horse does not appear to
thrive, as he should, on his food, • and
the most careful observation fails to
account for his condition, it is wises to
have his teeth carefully examined, es-
pecialty the basila. -jaw teeth or molars.
An irregularity of the_e is often the
uninspected source of the evil. The
molars occasionally wear irregularly,
sometimes the upper border overlap-
ping the external surface or the lower,
while the internal surface of the low-
er rises to a corresponding height
within the mouth. In such cases sharp
points are found where the wear has
been sligbtest, and these ronghnesses
lacerate the imide of t h 3 cheeks and cut
the sides of the tongue, so that'masti-
cation is performed not only with dif-
ficulty, but with pain. The conse-
quence is that the food is not ;properly
prepared for the stomachand passes
through it without assimilating to a
full extent its nutritive principles.

YELLOW GLASSES.
Hitherto workmen and others who
had to bear very strong white light
in their work or profession have been
in the habit of wearing blue glasses to
relieve their eyes from the possibility
of being blinded. This is the caro with

mercial ernft, especially if their eyes
happlen to las blue or gray. Butre-
cently it bas been demonstntted that

purpose better, and it le expected that
they will be used hereafter.
GOLD FROM THE KLONDIKE
A STEAMER FROM ST. MICHAELS
AT VICTORIA, B.C.
Three Millions 1n Gold ou Board -How the
Milers Guarded Their Treasure -Soule
of the Luchy Ones Bags of Gold Too
Heavy to LIt't.
The golden stream still pours into
the city from the far northern gold
fields. Early this morning, says The
Victoria, B. C., Times on Wednesday,
the steameie Manauense, Captain Ed-
wards, came into port with colors
flying, for, according to Purser Rich-
ards—and this statement is verified by
many of the passengers and other offi-
cers—she brought in the neighborhood
of $3,000,000 in gold and paper on the
commercial companies and outside
banks. There was, the purser said,
over one and a quarter millions in the
yellow dust and nuggets on board, the
safe in his office being filled from top
to bottom with bags of all sorts and
sizes belonging to the lucky men. B.e
sides this big showing there were num-
bers of the fortunate men who refused
to allow the. gold out of their hands. In
many staterooms were couples, trios
and quartettes, who, in turn, stood
guard over the gold, one being always
with it. In several instances the min-
ers never left hold of the handles of
the gold laden valises and bags save
when asleep, and then they slept with
the gold for a pillow and a loaded we-
volver within reach.
A SIGHT TO REMEMBER.
The Manauense, as she came into the
wharf, was a sight to remember. Her
decks ware thronged with the rough-
ly -dressed but apparently happy crowds
of miners—there were 260 in all. As the
vessel tied up, the miners, hungry for
news, asked a thousand and one ques-
tions about the war, but even this all -
absorbing subject could not keep them
still when the gang plank was run out.
As soon as the way was clear the be -
whiskered throng—for all grow beards
in the Klondike—hurried ashore. Some
were carrying rolls of blankets, some
tin boxes, some valises andgrips so
well filled with gold that it was all
they could do to carry them. In some
instances couples were noticed with
leather bags and tin boxes that were
more than one man could lift, on poles
after the manner of Chinese pedlars.
The usual nervous crowd, who imagine
every man in sight was eager to steal
their treasure, were also noticed, and in
direct contrast were the little groups
who threw their gold -laden sacks in an
express waggon es they would a roll of
blankets. One man, a cool -looking
Irish -Canadian, was sitting down on
the wharf with about a hundred pounds
of the yellow metal in a bright yellow
valise, such as might be carried by a
Hebrew drummer, trying to fix the
handle, which had torn loose owing to
the weight of the contents. An excited
crowd stood around watching the oper-
ation and asking question after ques-
tion about the gold, but the patching
was continued in a most matter of fact
manner. Tho work completed, the min-
er staggered down the wharf to a hack
with his load of wealth.
SOM.E OF THE LUCKY ONES.
Purser Richards furnishes the follow-
ing partial list of some of the lucky
ones, and an estimate of the wealth
brought out by them :—
F. Neaves
Michael Traynor, Victoria. . 110,000
H. Doser, Seattle 117,000
Louis Paulus, Seattle. . . 400,000
N. Blackmore . . 150,000
T. Rogers, Seattle. . . . 650,000
b'. Van Bibbcn. . . . 300,000
C. Steple ns, Seattle. . . . . 150,000
The purser could not remember more
of the lucky men, but be says there
are, besides these, crowds with from
$10,000 to $60,000 in their possession.
It is most difficult to get the passen-
gers to talk of their gold. for none will
discuss that ; they will talk of all other
matters and of the wealth of others,
but, as to themselves they are always
silent, and to the interviewer are al-
ways ostensibly poor men. Neaves, who
is credited by the purser and a num-
ber of passengers with being the rich-
est man of the crowd, will not admit
that he brings out anything worth
talking about. °'1 have a small bag,"
he says, "but not much."
Many on the wharf tried to lift the
"small bag," but failed. 'What I am
hinging out is not mine."
On the Manauense were a number of
residents of this city. Among them
was Lionel C. Theft', erstwhile a mining
broker here, and whose water colors

bert peaty, which left here on the
steamer Danube last summer with out-
fits as complete as could be had, and
bulldogs for companions. M3'. Barff
was the only man of this party to reach
Dawson, the others having returned
when the company broke up on the
trails. He says he has secured a claim
and brings out a little money, but he
declines to discuss the whereabouts of
his property and the extent of his
riches.
A LIVELY CORPSE.
Another Victorian who came out was
W. Gillespie. aforetime mate of the
C. P. N. steamer Maude. He is out
to say that the reports of his death
were exaggerated. He says if he oan
find the man who spread the report
thea man will find him a verylive
corpse. Mr. Gillespie says tt the
Yukon official is out for the money all
the time. Before Major Walsh arrived
it was money for this, pay for that; the
miners were obliged to be paying for
something all the time. He has scour-
ed a mining property on Hunter Creek.
Mr. Gillespie says Laley was at St.
Michael's when the Manauense left,
being crowded off her. They will come
down on the Danube. Brown has
it$20,000.
Miners who came down. notwith-
anding their successes, say that
$$things are none too bright In Dawson,
and, according to a rumor, there are
now over ten thousand men on the way
down the river in small boats. People
are leaving Dawson in hundreds. The
streets are filled with idle men, for
work is much overcrowded.
The majority of the passengers of
the Manauense came down the river
in the river steamers, J. J. Healy, Mer -
win, Alice ane Margaret, the hast to
reach the mouth of the river. The
Healy arrived ,lust ttvo weeks ago, 1 he
day the steamer sailed for this port.
She left Dawson on July 12th, and re-
ports that the Jiver is rapidly falling
and ruany of the bars are difficult to
cross.
Much suffering is said to exist along
the lower Yukon, many little groups of
stranded minerswhn are without funds
and provisions, being seen at points
along the river.
GLOOM AT ST. MICHAEL'S.
At St. Michael's things are looking
extremely black, and everything points
to trouble in the near future. The pas-
sengers who went up on the steamer
Progresso are in a very bad fix. The
men of the commercial companies re-
fuse to allow them to go ashore and
the steamship company owning the ves-
sel are unable to take them up the riv-
er, having lost the river steamers which
were to have takep the passengers to
Dawson. Many of the passengers who
have funds have trans -shipped to some
of the river steamers, but the greater
number sere stranded on the ocean
vessel. The situation is indeed a pre-
carious one, for when the Manauense
sailed the provisions on board the Pro-
gresso had all but given out, and when
the supply fails trouble is feared. 'i'he
agent of the company owning the
steamer, who went north on the Pro-
gresso, fearing that he would be bad-
ly treated by the passengers, bas fled,
and, according to report, he was a pas-
senger on the steamer Philip Nelson.
The beach, too, is crowded with strand-
ed miners, and those who intended to
have been miners, Many who have
drifted down the river have not suffi-
cient money to pay their fare south,
and there they remain, waiting for
something to turn up.
The City of St. Michael's is a strange
place. It is solely a city of tents, the
buildings there, outside of those own-
ed by the commercial companies, be-
ing very few. Again, its population is
very transient. One day the place is
thronged and again a short time af-
terwards it is a city th a sparse
population.
The two commercial companies will
not allow any of the ocean liners or
river steamers that are not doing busi-
ness in connection with them, to land
at their wharves. Passengers and.
freight on the ocean boats must be
trans -shipped in the stream, and the
river steamers not connected with
the company must laird their passen-
ers at, points all along the shore.

Bangor, Me., has a tramp dog that
is a traveler like the late postal dog
Owney. This dog is a long, lean bound
owned by C. F. Shepley. He will not
stay in his comfortable home, but
haunts newspaper offices and the po-
lice station, and when tired of Bangor
gets on the first train be sees and
journeys over the State. He always
rides in a seat until made to get down,
and invariably applies at railroad re-
staurants for food. Dewey, that's his
name, never gets lost, but, after a
week or soon the road, heads back to
Bangor again as if he knew the way.'
