Show .. DAIRY AND POULTRY. INTERESTING OUR RURAL. READERS. Bow Successful Farmers Operate ThU Department of the Farm A Few Hint as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. , . DISPATCH FROM says Washington that a dairy division has been created in the bureau of animal industry of the agricultural department, and that it tfill be organized about the 1st of Comment July. o a on this ing caper says: The purpose of this division will be to collect and disseminate information about the dairy industry of this country- The wisdom of such a department cannot be questioned when we consider the wonderful development of the dairy industry in this country in the last twenty years. Its growth and development have been so phenomenal that it is almost impossible for dairymen to keep track of it and secure the statistics necessary to show the production of butter and cheese. The first creamery in Illinois was established at Elgin in the year 1870. Two or three years later the agitation was begun in Wiscconsin, and later the movement spread to Iowa. The first butter from the Elgin creamery sold in Chicago at 10 cents a pound above the market price. Before that time Illinois had been obliged to send to New York and other eastern states for her dairy products. In 1892 the number of pounds of butter sold on the Elgin dairy board ot trade was 30,496,284; the number of pounds of cheese, 7,115,735; the jash received for butter, $7,725,725.28, and for cheese, $589,560.94. There were represented on the Elgin dairy board in 1892 300 creameries, leaving 266 creameries in the state not reporting their sales there. Taking the summary of the Illinois dairy product for 1892, prepared for the world's fair, we find that the value of the milk was placed ut $21,024,000; the value of condensed milk, $1,022,000; Illinois milk sent to St. Louis, $402,960; butter and cheese sold on the Elgin board of trade, $8,315,286.29; creamery butter and cheese sold outside the Elgin district, $6,927,519.06; dairy butter, $31,000,000; valu-- ; of skim milk for feed$7,000,000, making a grand ing purposes, of $75,691,765.35 for the annual Uotal dairy product of this state. It was further estimated in that year that there were 1,600,000 cows in the state of Illinois, and tha t the dairy industry represented a capital of $336,000,000, with-- , out including condensing factories or manufactories of dairy supplies. The importance of these, figures can le seen b.y comparing them with the report of the state board of equalization, which shows for the same year 324 stoc?i companies, aside from railroad corporations, that represented a combined capital of $115,210,045, or d of that invested in the about of single Industry dairying. In "Wisconsin W. D. Hoard estimates that there are 700,000 cows, producing 350,000,000 gallons of milk annually and representing a capital of from to $150,000,000. The income from the dairy Industry in that state is about $31,000,000. Wisconsin regards the industry so important that it has established a state dairy school at a cost of $40,000, which has about 100 pupils. The exports of butter from the United States in 1892 were 15,047,246 pounds, and of cheese 82,100,221 pounds, with a combined value of $9,835,000. The Americans, were rapidly securing the L,on- ' don market for their cheese until some of thfi dishonest pxnortprs .hptmn ahi ping filled cheese and selling it for full cream cheese. This deception has been a severe blow to the American cheese in Europe, The English statistician, hall; places the total annual dairy (Pro duction of the world fat 1,946,000 tons, and that of the United States alone at 610,000 tons, or about one-thiof the M entire product. r But these figures only indicate the importance of the dairy industry in this Country and the necessity for some department of the government that can give;' especial attention to it and pub-- . lieh reports that will enable the public to secure an intelligent knowledge of its production, as they have regarding the jgeneral condition of H agriculture nd;,the animal Industry, i uni-cae- - . one-thir- $130,-000,0- 00 j rd i .

You can very easily make a nice, neat and substan tial coop of pine boxes picked up about stores, by splitting slats say about 1 or 1 inch wide, half inch thick, tacked to good bottom, then cover with cheap domestic., leaving top open and tacking on enough slats after putting your fowls xin to keep them from jumping out. A coop on this pattern necessary to hold a trio of fowls would not weigh over three or four pounds net. I receive a trio of S. L. Wyandottes a few days ago from a point in. Georgia; they arrived in a coop large and stout enough to ship three ,good sized hogs in; it was about 2y2 feet square, made of green oak and green plank 3 inches of an inch thick, covered wide by with coffee sacking, and weighed net 22Y2 pounds. The express charges oh coop alone would have been $1.50; the charges on coop and the three birds was $&50 or nearly as much as I paid for the trio. This kind of shipping is out of thequestion and is enough to keep any one from ordering fancy poultry any distance off. They can, in most cases, pay for the fowls, but to think of paying from $1.50 to $10 per hundred pounds "on old gum planks knocks them out. ' Express rates are high enough at best, and. would advise shippers to make coops as light as possible, but stout and securely nailed. Express messengers, as arule, try to handle such class of freight as roughly as possible, when it would be very little more work and trouble for them to handle with care.

Mrs. Patty Richardson is the eldest of these interesting widows. She was born ninety-fou- r years ago, and her husband was Godfrey Richardson, who fought and struggled with the New York troops. The old lady is now living in the little town of East Bethel, Windsor county, Vt. Her husband fought under Schuyler, Herkimer and Arnold, and helped those warriors to beat off Bur-goyand his Indian allies. Mrs. Richardson tells many stories about the war, as her husband was in the thickest of many big battles. The youngest of the widows is Mrs. Mary Snead, who is only 79 years old, and quite a handsome woman Her husband, Bowdoln Snead, was a Virginian and fought with the troops that Washington loved best of all. The old lady is now living in the small Village of Parksley, in the county of Accomac, Va., not far from where her husband was born and raised. Mrs. Snead's husband was a commissioned officer in the revolution, and was probably born in 1750, although his widow was not born until 1,816. She was not married until 1835, and at that time the revolutionary 'hero was old enough to be her grandfather. Mrs, Nancy Cloud, another of the widows, is very proud of the fact that her husband was one of the men who risked his life to establish the nation. The old lady is a Virginian. On being asked by the Sunday World to give an account of her life, she kindly wrote out the followingi "My husband, William Cloud, was a I have often revolutionary soldier. heard him tell of the hardships he went through in the war and how he walked and marched for miles on Ice and snow; how he waded through rivers, and how his feet would bleed. I have heard him tell how they would come so near starving that they would go into a cornfield where the British fed theit horses, and there they would pick up the' scattered grains to keep themselves from starving. I think he said he was at the surrender of Yorktown, and marched four days without getting a mouthful. "My husband's age was 92, as well as I can remember. Mr. Cloud was a fine, sensible man, and was well respected by all who knew him. He was a business man, and was chairman of the court for fortyyears. He was high sheriff of the county when he died. Until on his deathbed he was strong-mindepert and active. "He died in 1842, on the 8th of February, and my youngest child, a boywas born the same day, about half an hour before Mr. Cloud died.

"NANCY CLOUD. ' "Widow or William Cloud." Mrs. Cloud Is now living in the village of St. Paul, Carroll County, Va. Her son Washington, who was born just when his father died at the age of 92, served in the late war in the confederate army. The family has been quite wealthy, but was impoverished by the war. , Mrs. Asenath Turner is another of the Revolutionary widows who likes to talk of the great war times. She has written a very interesting little story of her life, in answer to a request. She married again after the death of her soldier husband, whose name was Samuel Durham. He belonged to the Connecticut troops who did great work in the battles of Long Island and along the banks of the Hudson river. Mrs. Turner is now living in the town of Manchester, Ontario county, N. Y. Sur--' Address, 0, ng OST - ds wine-produci- , credible that thera should still be living among us any one, who is able to give personal recollections of those historic days. Yet in the report of the commissioner of pensions it appears that there are eight widows of revolutionary soldiers who are living afhd drawing pensions from the government, and none of them is extraordinarily old either. They were clearly old men's darlings in the- early years of the present century, as they were all many years younger than their patriotic husbands. They tell wonderful stories of the great war whfifch gave birth to the nation, and never tire describing the hardships of their respective husbands. To them the war of the revolution is something real, not an event to be read of in books, says New York World. None of these living revolutionary widows is as old as the century, a fact which shows that their husbands were well along the milestones of life before their wives were born. They also show that the revolution had beaus who after the war were conquered by feminine youth and beauty, for each one of these dear old ladies will tell you ; The ., - e. ; Press. , ......

Recently the federal authorities found there was a loop-hoof escape for unprincipled men in the handling of bad meats in other states. For instance, the dealers who succeeded in getting diseased animals away from the yards could ship them out of town with little fear of detection, as the inspection of meats was conned to the export and local trade. Out of this has come a new system of by which the federal, state and city inspectors all work together, and the only trouble now known is that the rigid watch has driven the disreputable dealers to smaller towns where there is no inspection. Of the work, Dr. Melvin, the federal veterinarian in charge of the Chicago office of the bureau of animal industry, says: "I am sure there is no ground for complaint sc 'ar as Chicago is concerned. The new system is working impossible nicely, and it is well-nigfor any diseased animals or meats to inspecget out. I have twenty-eigtors continually at work in the yards looking at live stock before it is sent to the abattoirs. Then I have six veterinarians and twenty assistants at work in the slaughter houses The state has, I believe, five inspectors. How many the city employs I don't know. We all work together. If one 6f my men finds diseased animals or meats he reports to the state and city inspectors, and there is no let up until the bad stuff has been condemned and put into the rendering tanks. We watch the pens, the slaughter houses and the gates, and I don't think any bad animals or meats get out" It will depend somewhat on the number of birds they have for sale, as they will be able to realize nearly double the amount they could have done had they not shown any birds. I might say they will be able to do this, although they did not win any prize. I have in my mind an old gentleman who bought one sitting of eggs last year because his wife was bound to raise some chickens. He entered nine of these birds, four cockerels and five pullets, from this hatch In the Chattanooga Poultry' show at the cost of $3.5f- for entry fee. They being about seven months old, and in strong competition, of course; he won no prizes. However, he has since sold two of these cockerels for enough more than he asked for them before the show to pay for entry, and has disposed of two more at a very good pricjs, giving him a nice profit on his investment. He not being in the chicken business, his neighbors were inclined to laugh at him for presuming that he (had any fine chickens, consequently, he gives you; rather than hand it out to you. the credit for sales to the poultry show.

It is also economy, I think, for, with land worth from $50 to $100 an acre, pasture is dearer feed than feeding in the stable. If one has young cattle he does not want to take out of the pasture and put in the stable to feed, a good way to do is to have a stack of clover hay in the field where they can have free access to it. One will be surprised to see the cattle leave the rank green clover two or three times a day and eat greedily a few minutes from the stack. Cattle know something, frequently much more than we give them credit for, and will take care of themselves pretty well if given a chance. Even a straw stack where they can come from the green clover and get at it, will help some. If the pasture has a variety of grasses, such as timothy, blue grass, wild grass, etc., aside from the clover, and these in abundance, there will rarely be any trouble from bloat. I wish to say again that a sure preventive of bloat (it may or may not be the only sure one) is to put the cattle in the stable twice a day and feed them all the good dry hay preferably clover, hay they will eat. Do this and you can turn them into clover at any time at any stage with perfect safety. .... THEY DRAW PENSIONS Heat Inspection In Chicago. ter.
