DOES 1T PAYq
A Consideration OF the GU uestion of Grind.
ing and Cooking Grain for Stock.

A Consideration OF the GU estion of Grind.
ing and Cooking Grain for Stock.
No general answer can be given to
this question. For man it undoubtedly
pays. Most of us think we have more
brains than stomach. We find, or think
we find, bread more digestible than raw
wheat, and consequently more nutri-
tious. For young animals, We believe
it frequently pays to grind or cook
grain. We want som ething that will
In part take the place of milk. 1t is
not any easy thing to find substitute
for milk. Oatmeal Cruel, or corn-meal
Cruel, with little fat in IL, we have
found excellent for young pigs. Milk
would be better, but we are often short
of milk. For sheep 1t seldom, if ever,
pays to grind grain. Beets and cabbage
and pigs will eat all you can spare
cooked for pigs and mixed with meal;
it is doubtful II it pays to thus prepare
turnips. Potatoes contain much starch,
and can be cooked to great advantage.
When grain is very high in price it pays
far better to grind and cook it, than
when it is low in price. When sixty
pounds of good, white winter wheat
will only buy sixty pounds of so called
corn-meal, 1t does not pay to draw the
wheat to the miller, and bring back the
corn-meal to feed to pigs, cattle and
horses. II farmer attends to the feed
ing himself, he can give whole corn,
oats, rye, barley and wheat to his pigs
COWS, sheep and horses in such way
that little will be voided whole or un-
digested. Grinding and mixing the
meal with cut or chaffed hay, straw or
corn-fodder. may be more economical
in the hands Of the average farmer than
feeding whole grain. But then, meal
cooked or uncooked, can be fed in such
a careless way, that large percentage
of it will pass through the animal in an
undigested form. With proper con
vcniences we believe soaking grain for
twelve, twenty-four or thirty-six hours
In cold or warm water until it is soft
but not sour-always pays well, even
for feeding sheep. To say the least,
opinions differ az to the Importance OF

FERTILIZERS.
The Varying Effects Which They Have
upon Different Soils.

Tho Varying Effects Which They Have
upon Different Soils.
While the soil possesses in itself
certain power of capability of produc-
ton which may be indefinitely drawn
upon for the growth of crops, yet this
product is neither satisfactory nor
profitable TO the farmer. The farmer
works for subsistence and profit, and
requires to gather from his fields the
utmost yield which he can force from
them. To reach this desired end he is
obliged to add to the soil certain w aste
matters which he can procure or certain
substances which he can purchase, which
will supply to it those ingredients of the
crops which these draw from it, and
by thus adding TO the resources of the
soil to increase the yield from it. But
this addition of manures to the soil has
another useful effect, viz, that of
exercising chemical action up
on the soil itself and liberating
from it a portion of its mineral
elements of fertility, mainly consisting
of potash and phosphoric acid. This is
certainly the most important effect of
the application of manure, and ac-
counts for the fact that the crop is
benefited more largely by certain
quantity of manure than could have been
expected from the manure itself. This
effect is caused by the liberation of ar
bonic and other acids during the de-
composition of the manure which exert
chemical influence upon the particles
of soil and so render these more soluble
than they were before. Further, the
roots of the plants growing in any soil
have power of decomposing the min
eral particles in degree commensurate
with their vigor of growth, SO that a
luXuriant crop, made by abundant
manure in the soil. actually exhausts
the soil more, and draws from it more
than it could have done had it not been
made capable of doing this by the
action of the manure in invigorating
the crop. This effect may be compared
to the more vigorous appetite possessed
by well nourished person or animal,
who is able to consume, digest and assim-
ilate more by reason of his or its ro-
business of heal h. Such analogies as this
may be found in nearly every direction
in which the physical laws of plant or
animal growth are explored, and they
offer both inducement and reward in
their pleasing results to the study by
farmers, young and old, of the science
and principles upon which their art is
founded.--M Y Times.

SUFFERING HORSES.


A"i"puu WIN .JuIoFet"s
Dyspepsia or indigestion In horses is
of frequent occurrence and arises from
variety Of causes, some OF which are
Of fatal nature. Indigestion frequently
results from diseased Kidneys, heart or
brain, but perhaps moro generally from
O disordered stomach or liver. The
usual symptoms are licking cold SUBJ
stances, especially those containing
lime, like whitewashed walls. The
animal also suffers from fatulency and
perspires on slight exortion. This
gastric disorder often gives rise to crib
biting and wind sucking, which greatly
aggravate dyspepsia. In treating. this
complaint the proper regulation of food
and feeding is essential. Give only such
food as is of the best quality and do not
feed in too large quantities.
Be careful to feed punctually ut just
such an hour every day. Three or four
times daily is sufficient. When It Is
necessary to resort to drugs an alkali
should be given before feeding and acid
after each meal Probably the best and
certainly the most convenient alkali is
bicarbonate of soda or pure saleratus.
Dissolve dessert spoonful of the above
In half pint of water, add it to four
quarts OF cold water and give the patient
to drink before each meal, feeding three
times day. After eating each meal
give dessert spoonful of diluted nitro
muriatic acid in two or three quarts OF
water If more convenient, two spoons
full of strong, pure cider vinegar may be
used instead of the above named acid.
Follow this treatment for week, then
omit for few days and, If necessary,
repeat. Animals which have regular
work are less subject to indigestion than
those standing idle in the stable.-M Y.

Brain Weight Fallacies.

The interesting discussion in regard
to the weight of Turgeneff's brain in
cludes an important article on the gem

brain by M. Nikiforoff, the eminent
Russian scientist, according to whom it
is q fallacy to assume that the weight
of the brain has any influence what
ever on the mental faculties. It ought
to be borne in mind, he says, that the
significance of the brain weight should
depend upon the proportion it bears to
the dimensions of the whole body and
to the age of the individual. 1t is also
equally important to know what was
the cause of death, for long disease and
old age exhaust the brain; thus show
ing the slight significance Of mere
weight.--M y Tribune
