It la claimed by many of hie neighbors that he baa MaaS a M Xs Bette. la mast tba beat egg ration? This question Is askad by Mr. 0. 8. Valea-- . tlaa la tha Country Gantlamaa of July 2. Ha sites tha opinion of on of tba most practical poultry writers and editor (who averred that meat feeding produced more trouble and disease among hla fowls than any other practice) and says that hie own experience coincides with that of the editor. He says: It is not a question whether or not meat brings egg; on ess run up tha egg record at will by the uaa or disuse of meat. The question Is, Is the gala great enough to pay a profit after deducting the loss caused by over stimulation?" By "meat" Mr. Valentine wished to be understood to mean meat meal or dried scrape. In tL first place, I think he makes a mistake In confining himself to meat meal and dried scraps If meat le to be fed at all, it la of tha utmost Importance that It should ho fresh sad untainted. Everybody knows that diseased or tainted nisst Is dangtrous as a diet, almost la variably producing disorder and disease among tha flock. I find that the cheapaet form of meat for my fowls Is green cut hone, I eon always obtain a plentiful supply from my butcher, and at a very low oost, seldom ever sat-ba-lf cent per pound. With my bone cutter I can quickly prepare It. I always examine tha bon (which by the way hs mors or lass meat attached to, It) very carefully, sad reject any that la in the least tainted. After years of experience, I have yet to find the first case of disorder caused by Its us. Nor do I consider It In any sense n stimulating food, as asserted by Mr. V. I may b wrong; if so, I am willing to be shown my error. I base my opinion ou tba fbet that allowed free range, bugs, beetle ad worses (all meat food?) jfornr a considerable part of tfce diet of a fowl, on which It always thriven I agree that green cut bon ts almost Identical, In lta various elements, with bugs and worma; that they both con-tathe flesh, blood and bon existing In all organic Ufa; and that on la no mor Injurious than tba other. But I cannot admit for a moment that scraps and meat meal occupy the seme claaa, end it le right here. I believe, that Mr. V. failed. I believe the scraps were responsible for the disorders mentioned. and not hit system of feeding. What are scraps, and how obtained? The majority of scraps are the products of soap factories or rendering establishments. At such placet Immense quantities of bone, meat, dead animals and offal are gathered together and deposited In a pits, until a sufficient to fill an imquantity la obtained mense vat. If the weather is hot. this reeking mass la often In all stages of decomposition, but as the extraction of fats la the chief object of the Tenderer, It does not Injure their value. Once in the vat, the steam la turned on, and they aro kept there until the grease la entirely extracted. The grease la skimmed off the top, the water drawn off at tho bottom. The bone aro separated and saved for fertiliser, and the residua, composed of shrunken muscles, akin and various fibers, la pressed into cakes called scrap," Now, I ask, la this a fit food for fowls? Cooking diseased meat will not make U fresh. A 'man would not knowingly buy a alck chicken or a steak cut from a cow, and offer It (after being cooked) to his family. He would fear disease and sickness, and rightly, too. But thia la juat what those who feed scraps to their fowls do. I want to say. also, that even If the scrape were perfectly free from disease, they would not b In tha asms claaa with green cut bona, bugs and worma the one rich with nutrients, aalta, phosphates, llm and nitrogenous matter, the other a fibrous maae with all the nutrients extracted; one containing every element found In egg. white, yelk and shell, in rich abundance, tha other a limited amount of llm and other nutrients In vary scant quantities. If green eut bone Is aubatltuted for acrape and fed no breeder need fear overstimulation or any disorder of dlaeaa resulting. John 1. Draper In Country Gentleman. la THE REV.

Here we have all the worn --out theories upset. Experiments carried out on the rifle range showed that our aatlohal colors possesses even distinct merits. Tha idea was this time to ascertain which color gave the worst mark for the rifle. Twenty men, all good shots, were used tor the purpose f the experiment After they had fired given number of rounds, it wax discovered that acarlet waa far the meat difficult color to hit For every mice at the other colors, there waa three la favor of scarlet.
