Thus, as the average for six cows, a
gain of about ten per cent. in the milk
and milk fat was found, resulting from
feeding of oats instead of an equal
quantity of bran.
This result was shown to have been
produced from about equal quantities
of food materials in the two cases, and
the oats therefore seem to have high.
er nutritive effect with milch cows,
than has bran. When the financial
aspect of the question is considered, it
will be seen that at the present market
prices for the two feeds, bran S11 per
ton and oats twenty-three cents per
bushel, the former is the cheaper feed
of the two. The conclusion reached by
the two experiments is, that where the
difference in price between the two
leeds is greater than ten per cent in
favor of the bran, it is not good econ.

OATS VERSUS BRAN.

Results of Experiments Conducted at the
Wisconsin Station.
Two feeding experiments for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the value of ground
oats and of bran for miloh cows, were
conducted at the Wisconsin Experiment
Station during the last year. Two cows
were used on the first experiment and
four on the second one. The cows were
fed the same quantities, by weight, of
oats and bran, eight pounds daily per
head on the first experiment and ten
pounds on the second. and, in addition,
the same fundamental ration of corn
meal, hay and corn silage or fodder
corn. The effect of similar weights of
oats or bran in ration for milch cows
was thus studied. 1t was found that
the cows invariably did better on oats,
going up in milk yield when coming on
oats and going down when bran was
fed, while the fat content of the milk
remained the same on an average The
average figures for the six cows are
given in the following table:

hold the wood to be cut rs shown in the
engraving. When stick has been
placed in the rack it must be slid under
n small chain which hangs over the
main body of the horse and between
two of the pins which are near together.
Tlis chain hangs in Il loop low enough
tc almost touch the ground. A piece of
board four feet long and three to four
inches wide completes the arrangement.
When the stick has been placed where
1t is wished to saw it, the foot is put
upon the board and the stick to be
sawed can never stir, while it can be
easily drawn along when one stick has
been cut off. The sawyer has the ad-
vantage of standing on both feet which
is much easier chan to bear the weight

FARM AND GARDEN.
POULTRY AND TOOLS.

a House That Serves Two Purposes Ex-
cellently Well.
On many farms the hens are allowed
TO lay their eggs about the barn, under
it or in a fence corner, and to roost
wherever they can find foothold, re-
sulting in the frequent loss of eggs,
and in the vexatious soiling of wagons,
tools, and the premises generally. 1t
is also true that there is frequently no
place in which to store farm tools.
The plow is run in under the wagon,
and the moving machine occupies an
end of the barn floor during that por-
tion of the year when not in use, VIII lie
other tools find resting places, some
within and some out of doors. 1t hard
ly needs argument TO show that such a
course is both wasteful and inconven-
lent Such n condition of things may
be remedied by constructing n building
like that shown in the illustrations
building that can be readily and cheaply
put together by one at all handy with
tools. 1t may be placed on one side of
the barnyard, thus affording desirable
windbreak. As shown, it may face
either east or south. 1t could, of
course, be made to face the west also.

A Fancy Mantel Scarf.

A lovely scarf for a mantel or dresser
can be made from any accumulation OF
old ribbon, bits of silk, satin or velvet.
The stripes must be three-eighths of a
yard long and of any width. Each
piece of ribbon should be decorated
some way. Fancy stitches in colored
silk, designs embroidered or painted.
different colored tinsels, spangles and
striking effect. Overland the stripes
together till the scarf is one and one
eighth yards long, line with silesia,
place balls, coins, crescents or any orna-
ments you choose on the ends, and draw
the scarf through two brass rings which
can be covered with crochet stitches of
silk, or the scarf may be tied with rib

POULTRY AND TooL-uoUsE.

That portion farthcst from the barn
is used for hen-house, since windows
upon two sides can thus be secured
This portion, if not the whole shed,
should be battened snugly upon the
outside, and lined with tarrcd paper on
the inside. The floor should be as
tight as possible and covered with four
or five inches of road dust or dried
swamp muck, on which may be placed
straw or other litter. The portion de-
voted to tools should have dry floor to
prevent rust. If this can be accom-
plished by thorough drainage and a
thick coating of gravel it will much
facilitate therunning in of heavy now
ers, plows, etc. The doors are also
made large for this purpose. while the
whole front of the tool shed may be
thrown open by taking down the NOV
able post between the two doors. A
tight partition separates the poultry
house from the tool shed.-American
Agriculturist.

CHOICE SHEEP WRINKLES.
lAmerican Wool Grower. !

tAmericon Wool-Grower.
MARK those ewes that have disap-
pointed you; don't be fooled twice by
the same sheep.
Fowls of any kind are nuisance
about the sheep barn, and should be
carefully excluded.
MIX a little sulphur with salt; it en-
riches the blood and disagrees with
ticks and other parasites.
AFTER weaving lambs, milk the ewes
twice a week and keep them on the
shortest pasture until dry.
EXAMINE carefully every ewes udder
before deciding to retain her as mem
ber of your breeding flock. If you find
one side spoiled, reject her.
Do NOT overstocx; better keep too
few rather than too many. If flock
of one hundred sheep could be made as
profitable as u fock of ten, shepherds
would be clothed in purple and fine
linen"
OLD, broken-mouthed ewes are dear
at any price. If they can not be sold to
the butcher feed them to the crows in
in the fall-thcy will get them anyhow
before "the voice of the turtle is heard
in the land"
GIVE mixed feed, and always remem-
ber that oats should constitute part of
the food of the golden hoof." If you
are feeding mixture of equal parts of
cornmeal, ground oats and wheat bran.
and forget to exchange it for something
else every thirty days, as the books di-
rect, don't be alarmed, the sheep WON'T
be nsnlted
