Bedding Foo Stock.

Look ont for supply of bedding for
all the stock. 1t is not only unprofit-
able but it is positive cruelty to oblige
horses and cattle to lie on u barn floor:
pigs to wallow in their mud till it ireez-
es: and sheen to inhalc the penetrating
odor which arise from their OWE drop
pings. Many farmers have allowed
this for so long that they think nothing
o. it, and look upon bedding and spec
ial care as useless innovations and a
waste of time.
1t dry muck or soil isnot already pro-
vidcl, get all the leaves You can and a
good supply of sawdust. Ifyou have q
hav cutter crt the coarse straw and
poor hay, if You cannot get anything
else for bedding The object of feed
ing hay and all food is to keep stock
warm and comfortable and growing.
1t is poor policy to let hay lie in the
barn over summer and keep the stock
poor and uncomfortable. Feed we'll
and bed we'll.

fowls on farms do pay their way, and

larger profit in proportion to the cap

care for them, than any other crop
raised on the farm-except boys and
girls. In the first place the farmer can
raise poultry cheaper than anybody else,
for the reason that he can usually give
