NOTES ON FEEDING.
Hov TO Garry Stock Through the Winter
in a III. Ifty Condition.

HOW TO carry StocK through inc WINTER
in a III. lfty Condition.
Winter feeding requires more care
and management than summer The
majority of farm animals thrive well
on grass, so that with little grain and
such other material as can be readily
secured upon the farm the stock can
be kept in good, thrifty condition.
But during the winter we must rely
almost entirely upon dry foods. Those
who have silos may add ensilage, and
of course this will help them out con-
siderably. But in the West these are
but few in number, comparatively, so
that the greater number depends al
most entirely upon what we may term
dry foods
1t is we'll established fact that no
one material will fully supply all the
elements of nutrition. We have some
plants, like corn, wheat and oats, that
If all is fed may come much nearer
than others. Yet they will fall short
in some particulars, as they will con-
tain an excess OF some one material
and fall short in others. To feed stock
in tho winter upon any one of these
is certain to fail to receive the best of
results. During the summer, in con-
nection with grass, this may not be so
apparent, as the grass will supply a
considerable part of " hat the others
lack. To feed the same kind every
day, even if two or three materials
are used, is also Objectionable, as the
stock will tire Of it and need a change.
Corn fodder at noon, hay at night,
bran and cut oats in the morning
make a very good feed for cattle,
sheep and horses, but the same kind
fed day after day with the stock
confined the greater portion OF the
time will not secure the best results.
Tie stock will tire of the round and
will not eat with relish, and when
they are doing this they are not MAX
ing the growth they should; or if you
are breeding milk cows there will be a
falling of in the quantity OF the milk.
A very little change will help con-
siderably, and by planning ahead
there ought not to be any difficulty in
securing good supply that with a
little management will enable you to
make up a good variety. Corn and
corn fodder, oats in the sheaf, as grain
and the straw, wheat straw, clover,
millet and timothy hay, roots, such as
turnips, beets, carrots and parsnips,
pumpkins, bran and shorts, with corn
and oil meal, can all be secured and
by combining will make up a good
variety, and in such form that the
stock will relish and enable thefarmer
to keep them in better condition at a
less cost than when one or two. or even
three. materials are depended upon.
Corn and hay for horses. hay and
corn, with a little bran, for cows. corn
and corn fodder, with hay, for sheep,
and corn for hogs is with by far too
many the winters plan of feeding. and
in the spring the stock shows plainly
the effects. Fall is the time to make
up variety. 1t can be done with less
trouble than later, while by providing
the task of keeping the stock in a good,
thrifty condition all winter will be
much essier.-M J. Shepherd, in De-
treit Free Press

DOGS AND THEIR WAYS.

animal would come bounding towards
the house, dragging dripping child
by his teeth, that he had saved from a
watery grave. Then the dog would
be petted by the family, and Toasted
and made much Of. Yet it didn't seem
to make him proud. He looked as
calm and Indifferent as if saving d
child from drowning was one of the
most ordinary events OF his life
scarcely worth speaking of-nothing
at all, in fact, to what he had done in
the old country, where he had often
rescued two or three whole families
before breakfast
But this thing of bringing home
drenched children got to be rather toe
frequent not to excite suspicion, and a
watch was set on the devoted friend Of
man and children. 1t was discovered
that he had habit of pushing child
into the water, when favorable op
portunity offered, and then plungins

A New Claim Law,

1t has always been possible for an

Courts throughout the country. instead
OF in the Court Of Claims ut Washing

to bring suit against the Government,
was obliged to file his claim in the spe-
clal court at the National Capital, and
to wait months or years for a hearing.
Under the new law the claim, if for
less than $1,000, a be brought in
any District Court, or If over 81, 900
and Under $4,000. before any Circuit
Court in the United States in any part
