CORN n MEAL.
Reasons why They Should Be Fed In Cold
Rather Than in Warm Weather.

Reasons why They Should Be Fed In Cold
Rathe Than in Warm Weather.
Corn is very readily digestible and is
rich in oil, which in cold weather is a
most valuable factor, as it serves to keep
up the heat of the body more directly
than starch and similar substances.
With oats and barley it may form one
third of the grain ration Of hard-worked
draft horses, and viii keep their coats
glossy and be in every way q benefit,
certainly worth more than its weight
in oats. Fed alone or in larger proper
ton it has a tendency to make horses
sweat easily, and it is said TO become
quickly exhausted. IT is not safe to
feed it as freely as oats or barley, as
there is danger Of impaction, just as
would be if wheat were 81 fed. No
doubt it is best fed ground with oats,
and the proportions already indicated
are probably the most satisfactory, the
meal being fed upon cut hay.
For COWS in milk, corn meal may
form, with bran, the exclusive grain
ration and may be fed at the rate of
one pint of corn meal to each one hum
bred pounds of the cows live weight. No
doubt it will be found just as good in
Great Britain as here. 1t gives quality
and richness to the milk. color to the
butter and abundance to the flow If the
COW il d good one; but if she isinclined
To lay on fat such feeding will cause
her to fatten, even though iii full milk,
and il she gets too fat she will 90 dry.
For sheep corn is excellent, but
should be fed whole and d little at q
time. For swine, the universal expert
ence from Maine to Oregon, and from
Canada to Mexico, is that it will make
more and better pork than any other
food. For poultry it is in this country
the universal grain, but it is not always
the best. III Is admirable for its fatten-
ing properties, but for laying hens and
growing fowls it Is not we'll to use
much. Corn fed fowls, ducks and
geese are h~rnl-feshed and yet tender.
They bear transportation alive with
little shrinkage. True yellow corn
makes yellow butter and yellow fat In
feWls. English and French tastes de-
mand white-feshed poultry with pale,
iardy fat, and So they fetten poultry on
rice and their fancy market fowls have
about as much flavor as boiled rice.
The American market demands yellow
deshed fowls, with fat as yellow as June
butter, and corn is the food to produce
chat iii all poultry. -Erchdnge.

FIVE CENTS A DAY.
The Cumulative Power of Money Relig
fousIY Set Aside.

The Cumulative ROVER OF money 1SeAS~
iousIy Set Aside
The cumulative power of money is a
fact very generally appreciated. There
are few men living at the age of
seyenty-fve. hanging on to existence by
some slender employment, or pension
ers, it may be, on the bounty of kindred
or friends, but might by exercising the
smallest particle Of thrift, rigidly adj
hered to in the past have set aside a re-
spectacle sum which would materially
help them to maintain their independ-
ence in their old age. Let us take the
small um of five cents, which we daily
pay to have our boots blackened, to
ride in q a the distance we are able to
walk, or to procure q bad cigar we are
better without, and see what the value
is in the course of years.
We will suppose a boy of fifteen, by
backing his own boots Of saving his
cherished cigarette, puts by five cents a
day. In one year he Sl8.25,
which, being banked, bears interest at
the rate of five per cent per annum;
compounded semi-yearly. On this
basis, when our thrifty youth reaches
the age of sixtyfive, having set his five
cents per day religiously aside during
fifty years the result is surprising. he
has accumulated no less than SO, 800. IS.
A scrutiny of the progress of this result
is interesting. At the age Of thirty our
hero had 1895; at forty, 1877; at fifty,
81, 667; at sixty, s2,962. After fifteen
years saving, bis annual interest more
than equals hB original principal; in
twenty-five years it is more than double,
in t~hirty-five years it is four times Is
much, in forty-fve years it Is eight
times as much, as the annual amount
he puts by. The actual cash amount
saved in fifty years is $912,50; the diff.
ference between that and the grand
total of SO. 1913. 18-namely, $2,980.68 So
is accumulated interest. What a mag
nifcent premium for the minimum Of
thrift that can be well represented IN
fgures!-Beptist Weekly.
