CHANGING FEED.
The Kind of Food Which Ought to BE
Given to Cattle, Sheep and Hogs In the
Winter Season.

The Kind of Food Which Ought to Be
Given to Cattle, Sheep and Hogs In the
Winter Season.
AS winter approaches and pastures
cease to furnish succulent fodder the
food of animals is necessarily changed
from green and fresh to that of dry
and less digestible nature. 1t is impor-
tant that this change should be gradual.
One of the supplies which have been
abundant this year, and which may be
used to advantage in this gradual
change, Is second-rate apples, or those
which are not smooth and fair enough
for market or for the table, but which
will be equally good for horses and cat
tie, sheep and swine. Instead of allow
ing them to rot under the trees they
may be gathered and stored in heaps
and protected till the approach of severe
freezing weather with a thick coat of
straw. They may be given in moderate
quantities at first and afterwards in
creased according to the supply. Cows
are sometimes fatally choked in their
greediness to eat when they first have
access to them, but the danger is small
after they receive them regularly; but

two caution would indicate avoiding
any danger Horses are fond of APP
Piles, and moderate ration does them
good, as dry fodder takes the place of
the more succulent. Turnips and car
rots answer the same purpose. Since
the introduction of ensilage animals fed
on it suffer less from exclusively dry
feed; but as many farmers do not open
their silos until in January something
to 60 between grass and ensilage is
desirable. The farmer who keeps an
eye to the proper feeding of his animals
can use safely such materials as he pos
sesses, if he keeps before him the chief
necessity of avoiding sudden changes of
food.
1t is important in this connection, to
provide comfortable quarters against
the approaching cold; to secure stables
and other places of shelter against cold
currents of air; to give animals dry and
clean places for eating and rest, and to
be sure that they have pure water to
drink. Provision for all these requisites
must be made before winter closes up
the opportunity.
In making all these provisions for
winter, the requirements for spring feed
ing must not be overlooked. AS soon
as the first warm weather approaches, a
gradual supply of succulent food should
be given, and Increased before turning to
grass. We have found nothing better
than parsneps. The great advantage
of this over other root crops is that the
roots may be left in the ground all win
ter, and in fact they are better for it.
The crop is easily cultivated, its spread
ing leaves shade the ground and keep
down weeds, and on rich soils it yields
several hundred bushels to the acre.
The roots may be plowed and pulled
out in spring as required for feeding at
intervals from the time the ground is
thawed till the grass is foot high
