ness into tillable farm is to devote life
time to toll Cutting down and burning up
the trees constitute but a very small part OF
the labor. The stumps are not easily dis

of them will remain a century If they are not

saving Frosted Corn.
Correspondence DroYers' Journal. ]


All such corn has some good sound ears
scattered through the fields. This and the
soft, damaged, are picked and cribbed to-
gether to heat and spoil on the approach OF
warm weather in the spring season. All
farmers gather their corn as early as practi-
cable after November 1, few of whom, per-
haps, ever give to the keeping soundlv after
any thought. but find in the spring that their
labor has about all been lost in the heating
and rotting of thei- summers work Now.
how to avoid this loss is the question. If
my experience in years past will be OF any
advantage to the tens of thousands who
have frosted corn this season they
can have the information for the time
it takes for them to read this article. 1t is a
fact known to all that are posted that frosted
corn dries out very slowly, and that it heats
quickly even in small quantities Now, how
shall we manage to save it dry and in good
order? Ny plan is not to gather it until il is
thoroughly dry, allowing it to remain on
tbe,stalk in the field. Each ear is there sep
aTate and subject to cold and heat, wind and
rain, all of which assist in drying out the
cob, and until the cob gets dry and hard we
should allow il to remain in the field. In
this way, once dry, it will make good feed
for both hogs and cattle and keep sound
just well as if never frosted. Thus, by
deierring the harvesting as above, we have a
large fraction of a good corn crop, while
gathering it in the ordinary season We lose ii
all by finding il heated. rotten and worth
less. / have known such corn to keep in
large bulk for two years

The Cow in Her Stall.

The stall to the COW is what the room Of a
house is to an individual. She becomes ao-
customed to it, is familiar with every part OF
it, and il is, to her something to be remem
bered all the time 1t is there she finds her
most tempting meals, and it is in her opinion
the most attractive place On earth. The stall
helps to make the disposition of the COW, for
her happiness and comfort depend upon its
condition. Ifthe stall is kept nice and clean,
with bright straw bed for 5est at night. and
the floor dry and free from urine. the COW Will
always rest we'll make more milk, digest lier
food Detter, and in every respect enjoy her
life and give satisfaction to her owner: but if
she is compelled to wade to the door of the
stable in mire of filth, walk along slip
perry avenue leading to her stall, and there
find herself in complete darkness and sur
rounded by dirt, droppings and wet, with
nothing but the bare floor to rest upon, she
wiki just as surely be influenced by her con-
dition as would any of us under correspond
ing circumstances; and when she emerses
into the open air IN the morning, after her
unhappy night, she is inclined TO feel like
kicking or being cross. It is necessary, there
fore, 70 pay some attention to the stall.

The cockerel should be full grewn, and

Matched early Old cocks tone year, are bet
ter than cockerels, and when mated with
early Matched pullets the eggs produce q
larger percentage of chicks than when the
old hens are mated with cockerels. On &C
count OF endeavoring to adhere to points
some breeders are induced to keep a
young cOckerel of a late hatchng, but
it is not wise TO do so. A fowl is not mature
under one year of age, and it is q settled
conclusion that neither animals nor poultry
should be used for breeding until the system
has had time to develop and make complete
growth. If the old cocks can not be used ex-
cept on their own Ofspring, which should
not be done unless it can not be avoided,
change with neighbor who may have good
ones, or keep such pullets as may be sup
posed to not bear toe close relationship, for
an occasional in-breeding may not be in
furious, provided the cross is different the
succeeding year. But the adult cock for the
next year may be produced by procuring eggs
for Matching early in February, or as soon after
Christmas as any one of the hens offeT5 to sit.
If from such an early hatch you select q
cockeTel, push him forward in growth and
keep him under favorable conditions. The
next season will find him a year old, by the
time eggs are wanted for Matching, and he
will besstrong, vigorous and active. Cocker.
els hatched in April or May are not always

keep him another season by all means.

Much has been said and written about the
bucking broncho, but the half has not been
told. The bucking broncho is plant which
grows wild on the Laramie plains, and bios
SONS at any and all times of the year. The
man who never saw one OF these kaleido-
scopic panoramas has our sympathy; and
the tenderfoot who thought he knew all
about horses, and who played second fiddle
to a good broncho through one twenty-eight-
second round, also has our sympathy. He
needs the sympathy of the entire communi-
ty, for that matter, and not only the sympa-
thy but the services Of good surgeon. The
"old timer" mounts the colicky animal as
though il was stone fence, and calmly and
contentedly maintains his seat while the
miniature earthquake is erupting beneath
him. IL looks easy, and you cant help think
ing that il is easy. 1t is a mistake, however,
to suppose that the uninitiated man can
ride the bucking broncho the first time he
tries it, nomatter how good horseman be
may be. 1t can only be acquired, like back
teeth, in time.

What Skim Milk Is Worth to Feed.
farm and HOme.l

Professor II. p Armsby, formerly of the
Storrs Agricultural School. at Mansfield
Conn, is now al Wisconsin University and
Experiment Station as Professor OF Agricul-
tural Chemistry. The first station bulletin
details experiments made to ascertain the
feeding value OF skim milk. When the
milk and corn meal were fed separately to
three-months-old pigs it required an average
of 1900 pounds of milk or 400 pounds OF
meal to make gain of 100 pounds in live
weight. When milk and meal were fed to-
gether one lot of pigs required 100 pounds OF
meal and ESQ pounds of milk for 100 pounds
of growth; with meal at 81
per cwt and pork at sc alive, milk fed in
this way, would be worth SIC. per cwt. An
other lot required 200 pounds of meal and $50
pounds of milk TO gain 100 pounds in live
weight. With the same prices as above, the
milk in this case was worth soc per cwt. In
another experiment $50 pounds of milk and
SO of meal produced 100 pounds growth, max
ing the milk worth 40c. per cwt. These ex
periments show that in the most econom-
zeal feeding a large amount of meal should
be fed with the milk, because the meal fur
nishes largely carbohydrates and the milk
largely protein. The experiments conclude
with the summary that skim-milk skillfully
fed is worth half as much per 100 pounds as
corn is worth per bushel.

REGULARITY IN SEEDING.

1t is q fact which does not seem to be either
known or clearly understood by manyof our
breeders and farmers that regularity a. to
time and quantity. in feeding, has much to
do in determining the'guestion of profit aud
loss and that irregularity as to the time of
feeding and the number of daily feeds have
more to do with producing loss than a yari-
alton OF the quantity of the food. Take a
pen of pigs for instance. and feed them Cor
week or two at say Ga m. and p. IA =,
with noon fed at u NJ, and then feed ir-
regularly, one day three times another day
twice, occasionally only once, and at irreg1-
lar hours and see how soon the
pigs will show the neglect, even
though the same amouat of food
being given each day that was formerly sup
piled. Animals which are fed at regular in
tervals. and in liberal quantity, will rest con-
tent between feeding time, but will always
be on hand and expectant at the feeding
hour II not fed regularly, they are gener-
ally restless and discontinued at all times,
and the worry they thus take prevents the
animal from gaining that weight and size
which liberal feeding would otherwise pro
duce. The discomforture experienced even
by persons when obliged to have their meals
irregulariy. even though they always have at
such times plenty to eat, will give some idea
what will result in irregulaTity in feeding
fatteniDg animals.

they struck it for themselves, for they
