Ever Try Raising
-- Chickens?
+}+++++++++++•++
A young woman with a trip] figure, a
swagger way of wearing her clothes and
a face with just the right proportion of
good judgment and sentiment in its
expression leaned over the luncheon
table the other day, and inspired by
some chicken potpie like that which
mother still makes, said with decision:
"Thore camas a time in the life of
everybody who is subjected day after
day to the ceaseless grind of business
Iife in a great city when the desire to
seek the farm and make money by rais-
ing chickens is overmastering. That de-
sire might be catalogued among favorite
diseases of New Yorkers.
"There is only one way to render your-
self immune, and that is to try it. Per-
sonally I took one year out of my life
for the experiment, and just as I reached
the paying basis destiny closed that page
in my career. But there are times when
I feel that I must raise my voice in pro-
test against the idea that raising chick-
ens is an easy thing and that if yon have
a few dollars all you have to do is to
start in and become a millionaire.
"1 was led to my doom by a story
which I rend in a magazine. It told how
one woman cleared $5,000 the first year
at raising chickens. There was a picture
of a woman throwing corn gaily in the
air while the ground was covered with
chicken. In the corner of the picture,
indicating as die line, was a vision of
some Belgian hares.
"I showed the picture to sister, and
we Gwent out and provided ourselves with
chicken pamphlets and for weeks fed our
young minds on the lurid literature of
incubators. Finally we packed up and
went back to the farm on Staten Island,
where father and mother were spending
their declining years in a peace that
cornea tq the middle-aged.
'We announced our purpose to become
millionaires, and exercised squatter sov-
ereignty of the land. Then we went to
town and purnehased an incubator.
"We spent $25 for it; it was the best
of its kind. Then we purchased some
eggs and paid 75 cents a piece for them,
for we had decided to have no second-
rate chickens to look at us reproachfully.
"On our way home we stopped to in-
form an uncle who has an office in
Broad street what he had missed in not
having treated us better, left our eggs
on the steam radiator while we unfolded
to him our intention of erecting an Ital-
ian villa with our first year's profits,
and did not discover that our eggs were
half cooked until later developments in
the incubator aroused our suspicions.
That was our first failure.
"Incidentallly, I might mention that
when we bought the incubator we also
invested in about a dozen articles for
which we never had any use—cute little
drinking fountains, neat little baskets
that the hens were going to lay in after
we had hatched- thein, and other things
which a beguiling shopkeeper induced us
to purcase.
"The incubator was constructed for a
hundredeggs, and our second purchase
of the common or garden variety filled
it. Then we waited, like the wise vir-
gins, keeping the lamp burning, and that
hi itself was no mean task, until the
eggs began to hatch. Of that first hun-
dred we hatched about bout three-quarters,
and we thought our troubles were over.
"Were they? I remember reading in
one of the pamphlets whose author had
moments of the ingrowing conscience:
'God help the invalid woman or the sick
man who tries to raise chickens!' It
seemed to me then just an exaggeration,
but whoever wrote it ought to have a
special paragraph devoted to the won-
derful restraint of his style.
"The nights we spent, sleepy,' dis-
gusted, heartsick, watching those chick-
ens! There are just one million Effer-
ent ways that an incubator chicken can
die, and as soon as he is born he knows
them all. Of course the pamphlet left
off at their birth, and we knew nothing
of what followed. Of that first hundred
two chickens survived the first week.
"Our next venture led us again to the'
incubator establishment, where we learn-
ed that we should add a brooder to our
'stied ^e Ir

which was briefly that no one coul

$15,000 to start with. 1 had reached th
in my own endeavor where it was
very easy to believe this,
"One thing 1 had learned perfectly
that whoever hatched the first chicken
by putting the hen on the eggs knew
what he was about. A hen has go

`'For instance, I had to learn that the
reason a hen doesn't let a chicken eat fo

last thing the chicken does before it is
hatched is to swallow the white of the
egg, as nature has decreed that the

and all it needs at first. The incubated

in dire straits. He was not a church-
' goer, in fact I don't suppose he ever saw
2 the inside of a church, and his knowl-
b edge of biblical names was a trifle lim-
' ited.
"With his second crop of colts he turn-

"At times he baa Hamlet plodding al-
ong dusty roads beside Adam. Eve is

how he keeps all the names straight,
but he evidently succeeds."
"Another thing that the plain ben
shows sense about is in taking the
chickens just as far as possible and
making them work for their food, the
harder the better. The incubator chicken
has none of that early training, eats
what is given it, and it it doesn't find
food at band dies foe lack of it.
"Well, to make along story short,
after repeated efforts and repeated fail-
ures, we threw the incubator, brooder
and pamphlets away. We started in to
find out the breed of ileus best suited to
our climate, and I firmly believe that
the oochin china is the moat satisfac-
tory. Then we undertook to breed per-
fect chickens of this kind. We followed
a process of elimination, killing off all
save the best.
"Every time we hatched chickens we
found them growing in weight and more
perfect in form. We went about to our
neighbors' places and studied their meth-
ods and found one man who has bred
chickens for fighting and has almost
reached the top notch of perfection; at
ay rat, he can sell all he will, and at
his own price, and he has produced them
by this same method.
"Just tie we had reached the point
where our eggs were eagerly sought for
setting purposes, where we were getting
order's for dealers that looked us up,
we had to follow the call of the husband
and go out to the Philippines.

BAD KIDNEYS

Bad backs—aching backs—come from

THE SULTAN.
He Goes in for Sanitation, Fountains,
Hospitals and Asylums.
As far as the science of medicine goes
the Sultan has always been eager to let
his nation benefit as much as it was pos-
sable by the latest discoveries, A great
number of charitable institutions (have
been created in all parts of the Ottoman
Empire owing to his initiative. Foun-
tains of cool well water, which are such
a boon in a distinctly warns country,
have been erected in many places at •the
expense of his private purse. In Con-
stantinople itself every district and
quarter is in possession of such a foun-
tain which supplies excellent drinkable
water absolutely free of any charge.
The Turkish capital has specially bene -
I fited in many directions during Abdul
Hamid's reign. Asylums, lazarets, and
' hospitals of various deseriptiona, receiv-
ing the personal endowments of the Pad-
ishah, keep their doors open perfectly
I gratis to sufferers of every nation and
denomination. It is particularly inter-
• esting to mention that he displays pat-
• ernal interest in, and large -hearted, gen-
erous sympathy for, afflicted children.
His Hamidie Hospital, a first rate estab-
lishment equipped with all the require -
wealth of modern medicine, is a just
source of satisfation and pride to him-
self as well as to his faithful Osmnaarlis.

Matting Brings Sleep.
A Ulan who has tried it says the
southern custom of steeping with a piece
of straw matting placed beneath the
sheet is all right for coolness and unin-
terupted rest in warm weather. The
theory is that the lack of ventilation
its the mattress and the resulting heat-
ing of it by the body raises the temper-
ature of the bed and cause restlessness.
The use of matting seems to permit et
sufficient air beneath the sleeper to
greatly hereas° one's comfort. The de-
vice is particularly 7 eeotnniended for in-
valids.
TIie i•entediee for bald heads are le-
gion, but up to the present rte specific I
tuts been dieeevered. Francis Marre says
in the Paris Cosmos: "1£ it is possiba;
to act ou the growth of the hair this
can only be on Condition that we act on
the gelteratur' of the hair, Now Ili
tology shows that tate hair is made
of a free portion, the stem, and of e
other portion, t}ie root, imbedded in th
dermis. This is plunged obliquely int
the subcutaneous conjunctive layer an
is terminated by a bulb, which is in co
1 tact with the papilla, made of conjuc
ive tissue. Living tissues are well fi
ted for rept•oduction and autoplast
junction. burgeons bare been renter
ably successful in grafting tissues, an
by analogy there scents to be no ream
why one should not be able to make
capillary graft."
This theory Merallen Iicdara, of Co
stantinople claims to have demonstr'tt
ed. He deckled to experiment on
scalp made bald by tinea, with a serie
of scarifications of the epidermis and th
superficial bed of the dermis. In ties
scarifications he planted hairs, plucice
out with their bulbs intact, and, aft('
the healing had taken place it was see
that the graft had been perfectly su
eossful,
"The hair planted in this way coni
nienced to grow at once and by increa
ing the scarifications the physician w:
able to cover with hair the heads of sev
eral patients."
Carrying his investigations farthe
Dr, Hodara practiced a series of experi
ments upon animals. After the hair ba
taken root the animals were killed i
order to examine the scarifications mi
eroscopically. It was found that a
around the planted root the dermis ha
differentiated; that the superficial poi
tions of the external cellular bed ha
taken the form of a bulb, and that th
connections between the hair and th
bulb were complete. The developin
cells clearly showed that tiro generatin
bed of cells had been created and wa
working perfectly.
As it is not always possible to hay
freshly plucked hair, Dr. Hodara decid
ed to see if the graft could be made mor
complete and if the stem of the hair it-
self

self could not produce a root and but
in the Baine way that the dermis ha
differentiated to produce a generatin

Dairying.
The econoniicals and producers who
insi3t that "high priced land cannot be
tap employed profitably in dairying," should
n- nuako a study of dairying in holland.
e Land is called high priced here when it
d sells for $100 and more per acre. In
n. Holland land is valued at $.i 0 to $4,000
t- per acre, tend some small. farms rent for
$100 and more per acre per year.
lc Dairying is not a highly prosperous
e industry here. 'tow is it in 'Holland?
n ',Cho Paris, France, Bulletin des Halles
a says:
The dairy industry Ls in an extreme-
ly flourishing condition in Holland. In
1899 that country possesod 1,650,000
a horned cattle, 060,000 of which were
s milk cows valued at $50,250,000,
"Dutch cows produce an unusually
dlarge amount of milk. The returns
r. were formerly given as 3,698 quarts of
milk per cow with an average content of
e:- 8 per cent. of fatty matter, or 321
pounds of butter per year; but these
- figures are too low; conservative es-
s- timates put the average yield at 4,227
quarts.
"In 1899 about 123,469,000 pounds of
butter were produced in Holland, of
r', which 69,446,000 -pounds were made by
the peasants and 54,013,000 pounds in
d factories. The exports of this product
n amour ed to 44,092,000 pounds.
"T11e manufacture of cheese is more
11 important in Holland than butter mak-
d ing. In 1899 about 105,822,000 pounds
of rich cheese were made and 48,502,-
d
8,502;
d 000 pounds of single cheees or cheese
e, made from skim milk, giving a total of
e 154,324,000 pounds of cheese."
g Why is dairying in Holland proaper-
g ous, in spite of her high-priced lands,
s high tuxes, and other High costs of pro-
duction? Why does not $500 to $2,000
e land make dairying unprofitable in Hol•
- land, if $50 to $100 land makes dairying
e unprofitable in the United States The
- quotation above contains one statement
b that may be taken as the chief explana-
d tion of the difference ni dairying in the
g two countries.
e That statement is that the milk eows
t of Holland average 4,227 quarts of milk
s per head per year, on a conservative
estimate.
There is one plain fact that underlies
the most successful dairy practice in the
world. The Hollanders have for years
bred cows for mills. They have bred
them scientifically. They desired milk
to drink, to sell, and to churn. They
have as a result of their work those
two famous breeds of cows known as
the Dutch Belted and Holstein -Friesian.
They keep these cows bred up and
fed up to a notch that means an aver-
age yearly production of 4,227 quarts, or
over 9,000 pounds of mills per Head,
That is .to say the Holland farmers on
their $500 or $2,000 dairy Lund, milk
cows that surpass the "show" eows of
the experiment stations and the million-
aire farmers of other countries.
Are these holland cows high-priced
cows? The quotation above estimates
• that the 960,000 milk cows in Holland
are worth $50,250,000. That is an aver-
nge of $52 per head.
these Holland dairymen bother-
ing their heads about high lit percent-
ages in milk? The Holland cows
rarely reach a test of 4 per cent. of fat,
Tlie great majority of them range from
3.4 per cent. downward. The quotation
above says that the butter fat average
in Holland is three per cent.
Nobody in Holland or in Europe in
general, advocates high-fat mills for
human food. They all know that milk
ranging low in fat is the best food.
What dairying calls for first of all,
is cows that will make the largest quan-
tity of milk. Holland answers that call.
In that country nothing is heard of
high fat cows that do not earn their
keep. Holland has no toy cows, no
miniature cows, no weakly cows, but
big, real, vigorous cows that are pre -

ened with "race suicide" because of the
great mortality front premature births.
Although the incubator is constructed
of glass and metal, and permits of a
good view of the infant inside, the con-
ditions in the interior of the machine
as regards temperature, humidity, air,
etc., are made as nearly as possible like
those of the child's ante -natal environ-
ment. The heating is produced by hot
water, which circulates in copper pip-
ing placed at the bottom of the incubator
under the cradle or hammock. This pipe
is fed by a water boiler, which stands
outside the incubator, and may be heat-
ed by an oil lamp, by gas, or electricity.
The temperature is automatically
maintained at the required heat by a
specially constnretc.l thermostat. So
delicate is the construction of this ther-
mostat and the levers attached, that the
slightest variation of temperature suf-
fices to set it in motion. Thus the heat
within the incubator !lever varies more
than two degrees Fahrenheit, and rarely
ever more than one degree. To venti-
late the incubator, there is a pipe which
is conducted through the wall or window
of the house or hospital. Only air taken
outside the building is supplied to the
infant within the incubator. This pipe,
about four inches in diameter, delivers
the outside air into a box fastened to
the side of the incubator. The air is
first moistened and washed by being
passed through a layer of absorbent wool
suspended over a saucer containing
waetr or an antiseptic solution.
A little further on there is another
sbeet of wool, wheh, however, is dry,
and serves to retain the soot and other
particles floating in the air. From this
filtering box a second pipe delivers the
air into the bottom and centre of the
incubator. inlet above the inlet a disc
is suspended, which breaks up the cur-
rent of air, and diffuses it its all di-
rections and over the surface of the hot
water coils. 'Thus the air is washed,
filtered and warmed before it reaches
the infant lying above the upper part
of the incubator, and is uniformly dis-
tributed, so that there is no sudden elm-
- rent in eny one direction.
I On the top of the incubator a clam-
' ere- about three feet long forms the nut-
let; and in order that Ole shell not ae-
Cidcntally became an inlet, admitting a
downward draught, a revolving screw fan
placed within this flue, which turns
only to callow the outward passage of
the epeeist current.

some animals are as liable to meningitis
as are human beings. Goats and horses

the disease is known as "hydrocephalus

disease 78 per cent. die. and the remain-
