IN quiet, Iestful way, very grateful 10 the IN

Bran and Meal Feed.
rI-.-.u..a


The cream from the milk when the cows
Were fed on a peck OF buckwheat bran each
was light colOred and thin (; but when they
are fed four quarts of corn meal, the cream is
thicker and more yellow. This means more
butter. Bran of all sorts is better for young
animals, as il makes muscle; but meal is best
for cows as ii makes fat; and milk is fat; that
is milk which will make good butter contains
a large per cent. of fat. The bran will make
the best manure, because there is more of it
that goes into the manure pile, and this fur
nishes the supply Of nitrogen. The farmer
then who feeds plenty OF bran will have a
rich manure hesp,snu SO II Is cheaper To buy
bra and feed 1t lberally than 10 stint ones
animals and buy commercial fertilizers.
Commercial manures do not furnish much
nitrogen. This must come largely from grain,
and tbs bran is the niirogeDous part, and
without Nitrogen there will not b. perfect
plant growth. The lesson We would teach is
10 save all the bran FOR toe growing animals
and the meal for the isttening ones and the
cows. To make them all healthy and To as
simulate boIh bran and meal perfectly, roots
should al ways b- fed. Tois Is an important
part Of the system, ald helps 10 make per-

Prepar. shelter for stock.

Extract Times j Ournal, -
Now, while we have this delightful au'
tumn weather, is the time to prepare some
kind of shelter Tor stock All kinds OF do
nestle stock need 1t. Sheep that have such
warm covering for their backs need IL as
much II not more than other animals. They
not only get dre1ched by the rain, but they
have to carry their wet, heavy coats TIL the
heat in their systems dries them, and this is
very exhaustive to the vitality of the sheep.
They can stand pretty severe cold weather,
but wet weather very injurious 10 them.
Hogs have scarcely anything TO protect taen
from cold and need very low sheds, SO that
in very cold weather they car not pile on one
another, and sutfocate the under ones, as they
frequently do III very severe weather. Cal
{ e and horses Will keep In inuch better con
ditlon, on less food, wnen they have warm
stables or evel sheds 10 protect them from
the storms. The shelter may be made OF
poles and covered with straw, or corn stalks
even, and IL woald pay for the labor hun
dred fold. On the score of humanity, as well
as saving food, We ask eyory farmer 10 pro-
vide some sort oi shelter for all his domestic
animals, and now, whlle the weather Is good,
Is the time to furnish II.

Clack or flesh coored pigs are fieest from
skin diseases in hot climates. The choice is
practically between the Essex and Berkshires
stock of hardy gruboers of the root-or-die
variety. Those who have tried the former

begin TO recall their longing for lean hams

old race horse breed. The trouble with the
Essex pigs for the South Is that they are the
