Marriages of this sort are BY no means in

FEEDING AND FITTING CATTLE.
A Stock Raiser Gives His Views on an
Important Subject.


After waiting weeks for some one of
more experience to answer your CORE
spondents questions as to the method of
feeding and fitting cattle for sale, / will
say, first shelter we'll: no matter how
rude the structure so it be dry and keeps
out the winds. A floor is indispensable
to cleanliness: bed we'll: turn out in
daytime unless too bleak. A good ration
for an adult three times daily is: One
gallon of cracked corn nearly as
coarse as hominy, one-half gallon of
wheat bran, and one gallon OF cut hay;
one-half gallon will do. Feed and
water regularly as clocl1-work Groom
ing is of least Importance. A good
Judge will detect good coat if we'll fed
and sheltered A good brush and wool
en- cloth will give finish; leave the
curry-comb to the horses If used at all
it should be lightly.
As to pampering or over-feeding, we

A good Judge can guess with reasonable
certainty what thin animal will feed

near perfection IN points as possible
every one knows it 10 be a good one.
The reason some persons cry out against
high keep is because they have bought
a good animal that has had liberal treat
ment and turned it out on pennyroyal,
dog fennel, smart or ragweed, and been
disappointed. Poor keep and degener-
alton are first cousins. If not twin
brothers. We remember when it was

Money in Mutton.

The raising of early lambs for the city
markets offers rare encouragement to
sheep husbandry. Mr.. Bowditch sold
lambs last season 40 days of age which
dressed over 80 pounds each. Such
lamb would bring $40, perhaps more.
His plan is to produce very fat lamb
at the youngest age possible. A neigh.
Dor, near my own home in Connecticut,
kept 40 ewes during the winter of 1887
and 1883. The sales of lambs and wool
Melted 1895, or an average of Ss.12 per
head for the entire flock The lambs
were sold on commission in Hartford,
which, by the way, is the best method
for selling such stock. The reputable
dealer can easily secure a better price
than the producer. With good stock,
good care and liberal feeding far better
results can be obtained with sheep than
with almost any other farm animal.
But "a good breeder must be a good
feeder" We must not expect some
thing to come OF nothing We must not
give the sheep old, worn-out pastures
where scarcely any other stock would
live. Before We get dividend we must
deposit cash in the bank. Let us de.
posit in the bank which our funds rep.
resent capital which will return us
good dividend. While it il impossible
to keep sheep on every farm, it can be
done with profit on a larger numb OF
farms than are keeping them to-day. |
would not advise radical change by
selling all the cattle at once, but by be-
ginning the purchase of few good
sheep and increasing the number as r
cumstances permit. Don't be afraid of
over-stocking the market. The first
class lamb or mutton carcass will alwavs
find buyer at fun market value.

screwed down SO as to adjust the press

any convenient power. The rotation OF
the shaft causes the cutter to move

WOOD ASHES.
Their Value When Applied 20 Different
Kinds Of soil.

Ainds OF SOIL.
Leached wood ashes contain about 8
per cent of phosphoric acid and % per
cent. Of potash-two valuable fertilizers
for number Of crops-and about "a per
cent of lime, which, when applied TO
the soil, has the effect OF rendering
available plant food that is already in
the soil On land that has been cropped
until at least some of the elements of
plant food have decreased so that full
average crops can not be made. wood
ashes are worth, says the st. Louis Re-
public, all the way from ) 10 25 cents
per bushel
They can be applied TO nearly all
kinds of fruits with profit. With potatoes
they are especially valuable, either ap-
piled in the Hill or scattered broadcast
and worked well into the soil Onions
are another crop that can in many cases
be largely benefited by an application of
wood ashes.
If applied in the orchard. good plan
is to stir the soil thoroughly and then
apply broadcast and work we'll in The
soil can be stirred as far out as the
branches extend
With onions one of the best plans of
applying is to prepare the soil in a good
filth ready for the seed or buttons, and
then scatter the ashes as evenly as pos
sible over the surface, and then. with q
good rake, work we'll into the soil; then
mark out the rows and plant: or the
seed can be planted and then the ashes
be scattered over the surface; the nee
essary cultivation will work sufficiently
into the soil. The roots of the onions
grow very near the surface and there is
no necessity for working the fertilizer
deep into the soil.
When there is a good supply Of ashes
they can be applied broadcast for po-
tatoes, working we'll into the soil. Very
good results can also be obtained by APP
plying in the hill. Mark out the rows
the proper distance apart and then put
a small quantity of ashes where each
hill is to grow; eighteen inches apart in
she row is a good distance. Stir into
the soil well, and then plant the seed
and cover. This places the fertilizer in
a position where it can be readily
reached by the roots of the plants 1t
is not a good plan to have the ashes
come in direct contacs with the tubers:
hence good care should be taken to i'm
corporate we'll with the soil before
planting.
Ashes aid to make a stiff soil more
friable, and can be profitably used with
nearly all garden or truck crops.
