Dry or Wet Shorts or Meal.

o. M. Tinkham writes as follows in. the
Mirror and Farmer "The best way is
to feed with cut fodder and the whole
mixed. If fed separately, the meal or
shorts should be fed dry. If fed as first
suggested, the meal will be thoroughly
mixed and be raised in the cud and
chewed over again and better digestion
insured. If fed alone, and wet, the meal
will be swallowed very rapidly, and not
being mixed with the mass in the stom-
ach, may pass off into the lower stomach,
imperfectly digested. But if fed dry, it
will be eaten more slowly, chewed and
mixed with the secretions of the mouth,
and the probability of digestion will be
greater. think many feed more meal
than can possibly be digested and assimi-
lated by the animal, though some ami.
mails will take up more than Others"

Why Do Boys Leave the Farm ?

A boy gives his answer to the question
in the Rural Neo Yorker, as follows al
think the prime cause for boys leaving
the farm is on account of their having to
perform so much hard work. Then their
fathers (many of them) do not take any
interesting agricultural papers, or never
buy any books, and keep on in the same
ruts that their fathers have followed, and,
as consequence, the boys soon become
Disguised with farming. They don't want
to break their backs over the scythe, when
a mowipg-machine can do the work bet
ter, and at 1.-THE of the expense. They
want other improved implements, full
blooded stock, etc. They want to move a
little faster, and do business on larger
scale. Give them gradual increasing
interest in chickens, COWS, or anything
they may wish, and l do not believe the
boys would leave the farm so often"
