The health is greatly improved by
feeding the animal with grain thor

is that it is made more digestable by

Usually in the fall there is more or
less stock that has made q sufficient
growth to be weaned. Especially is this
the case with colts and calves. With
both these classes of stock it is an I'M
portant item to keep making q steady
growth, and if this is done at this time
it will be necessary to give good care.
1t is not best to make u change too sud-
denly, and for this reason it will be
found n good plan to begin feeding u
small quantity of grain each day for a
week or ten dayE before weaning, giving
a small quantity Mt first, and gradually
increasing until enough is given to keep
the stock in a good, thrifty condition.
can be made with very little trouble, and
the young stock be kept growing stead
lily all the time. One of the best mate
rails to use at this time is ground oats,
fed with hay it the young stock must be
fed upon dry feed, and especially is this
the case with colts. When not ncces-
sary to contine, let them have the run
of the pastures as long as the weather
will permit. A little bran and corn may
be given as q change. Oats is one of
the very best materials That can be used
for the development ofbonc and muscle,
and these are important items in the
making of young colts. Corn is lutten-
ing and is an excellent material to use
in keeping up animal heat. II provided
with good shelter, SO that il will not be
necessary to maintain animal heat by
feeding grain, q good and also an
onts with q feed cutter, adding a small
quantity of bran and wetting the whole.
Bran, oats, and barley make n better
feed for colts than too much corn, all
though many will insist upon giving
the colts q feed of corr twice a day all
winter.
Usually very little grain WILDE needed
for the calves, especially if they are
provided with good comfortable shelter.
Good clover hay or millet, with a small
quantity of bran ut each meal, will
maintain a good growth Mt small cost.
A little corn and oil meal can be given
MS q change, as it is not a good plan to
attempt to winter stock of any kind
upon one kind of feed.
a good deal of fodder can be used in
feeding calves during the winter, and
with q small quantity of bran and oil
meal can be kept makinga good growth.
Neither of these W classes of stock
should be allowed to stop growing from
birth to maturity, and ii care is taken
III weaving not to get them stunted, Al
good growth may readily bemado. Some
stock can be weaned much earlier than
others, and this fact must always be con-
sidered SO that they can be kcpt in good
condition during the winter. II is much
easier to keep up n good growth, saws
the st. Louis Republic, in which the
above first appeared, than to allow them
to u down and then build up again;
so it is necessary, as far MS possible, to
supply good feed and give good care in

He Didn't Notice.

When a witness, whether in court or
elsewhere, is fairly "cornered," he is
likely to dash wildly into impossible
statements. A story related by the
author of Behind the Bungalow"
brings into relief this weakness Of hui
man nature. A gentleman, living in
India. suspected that his milk was
watered, although his faithful native
servant protested that this could not
be, rs the milking was began and fin
ished in his presence.
The master provided himself with a
lactometer, and the suspicion became
a certainty. Summoning 8 servant, he
told him that the little instrument
floating in the milk could neither lie
nor be deceived,
ut Declares" lie added, sternly,
"that there is twenty-five per cent. Of
water in this milk"
"Your lorship speaks the truth" an
swered the man, "but how could I tell
o lie? The milk was drawn in my
presence"
ado you mean to say you were there
all the time the animal was being
milked?"
Inc whole time, your lordshlp.
Would I give those wretches q chance
of watering the saAib's milk"
"Are you sure there was no water in
the pail before the milking began?"
@Your lordship I made the men turn
the pail upside down, and shake it,"
As the gentleman turned the matter
over in his mind, it occurred to him
that the lactometer, being Of English
manufacture, might not work properly
in buffalo's milk.
sIs this cows milk or buffalo'sf" he
asked.
The servant was beginning to feel
uncomfortable. and caught ct this
chance Of escape.
sAh,, thatI cannot tell,s he answered,
1T may be bnffaloie milk 81; Il maybe

Value OF Stable Manure.

There is n great difference in value of
stable manure, as every farmer knows.
DIR. q. c. Caldwell has analysed some
that is probably an average specimen,
and calculates that fourteen two-horse
loads of 1000 pounds each are worth as
much as can be procured in commercial
fertilizers for 1876. 1t is quite common
for good farmers to put fourteen two-
horse loads of barnyard manure per acre
on corr or potato ground. How many
would think of applying the same value
in concentrated fcrtilizersY We read of
such heavy expenditures by market
gardeners, but So or 81 per acre are all
that the farmer can afford in bought N
fertilizers for any grain crop. The
bulky stable manure, while fermenting
in the soil or used as q mulch, improves
its mechanical condition as the mineral
manure cannot do. But if applied in
MS small proportions as commercial
fertilizers, even stable manure cannot
be expected to do much good. What
could a farmer look for who distributed
evenly two loads of stable manure per
acre? He could not do this with course
manure SO cheaply as he can distribute
the finely pulvcrized commercial fertil-
izer through tho drill with the seed.
