From the above, chemical science
assures us that wheat is higher in
heterogeneous material, or flesh and mus
Gle matter, than any other grain by SO
per cent. The minerals are contained
more largely in oats and barley, while
corn and rice represent more promi-
nently the oil and fat producing diet.
From the above we see that young
chicks should be fed on wheaton bread
for the first few days, and then cracked
wheat, because it is by far the most
nourishing. When the chick breaks
the she'll it absorbs the yolk, which is
fat, and it is overfat, so we do not want
to feed that which produces fat such as
corn and rice. We want food that will
make muscle and strength instead OF
fat. Corn meal is the usual feed, but il
is mistake, or corn in any shape, I'm.
til the chick is more than week old.
Then our table suggests wheat for the
first week, both bread and fine cracked
wheat, and if kept warm they will
have gained strength SO til at the food
can be changed at that time to furnish
a greater variety.

SO that it will hang together; then add

meat and an ounce of Underground
bone. Steam this for two hours and
you have the best possible feed for
chicks and ducks up to three weeks
old. After this age give them head
of cabbage to pick for green stuff;
feed one meal or two meals of soft
food, well scalded, each day, and give
whole wheat at other times. Keep
your young fowls growing as fast as
possible until three weeks old; then
give them as wide a range as possible
and feed well, but not overfeed. Let
wheat be the principal food. e. w.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

EXPERIMENTS made in spraying one
SIDE of the peach trees with insecticides
aid leaving the other side untouched
confirm the claim that the depredations
of tle curculio and other insects can
be prevented, as the comparison of the
trees show great advantages resulting
from spraying.
EVERY now and then some writer in
the stock journals suggests proper
ration for an animal based on its size
or weight in spite of the fact that this
is about the least reliable guide one
can have. Almost every one knows that
men do not eat in proportion to their
size and weight, and neither do cows.
IF any great success is to be made in
farming the man must follow that par
ticular line of farming which he likes
SO well that he can put his whole soul
into it, giving it that thorough investi-
cation which will enable him to fully
understand it in all its details and
grow it in the cheapest and best man
ner.
CORNCOBS contain some nutritive mat
ter and are useful for feeding when
ground with the corn, if the meal is
made fine enough to be digested. A
number of M lis are now made for
grinding the cob and grain together,
but some of them only crush it. In
buying select mill that reduces it all
to fine meal.
A GARDENER who has tested it for
three wears tells the Home Journ 3, I
that broken pieces of bone do much
better than broken croclery for drain
ing flower pots. The plants suck the
fertiizing quality out of the bones and
make such vigorous growth that the
plants in pots supplied with bones could
be told at once.
ALL kinds of plants make consider
able growth at the root before the
leaves start much, and this root-growth
takes place with hardy plants like cab
bages, onions, pansies, etc, at very
low temperature, scarcely above freez-
ing. But the roots of the tender plants
stand still in cold weather and even C,e-
cay if it is long continued.

That old diaries rcSurrect strange

SLEEPING AFTER EATING.
Extract from q Lecture by DR.. j. n. KEEL
loEg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.

Extract from q Lecture by DIR. j. II. Kel-
loEg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Physiological experiments show that
sleep is not SO profound when taken
right after full meal as on an empty
stomach. The majority of people will
testify that they wake up after such
maps dull and stupid and worth nothing
for work, whereas, a before-dinner nap
would have been wholesome, since it
quiets the nervous system and prepares
the stomach for the reception and diges-
ton of food. The advocates of the
after-dinner nap sometimes say that
animals eat and go directly to sleep, but
l think this is not true. The COW feeds
about for several hours and then lies
down Suder tree and chews her cud
with her eyes closed, apparently in a
sort of revery, but she is not asleep; she
is masticating her food industriously.
But / am reminded of an English
Psychologist who gave two dogs each a
full meal and then allowed one to go to
sleep in the chimney corner and took
the other on chase through the coun-
try. When he returned he was cruel
enough to kill both dogs and found that
the one which had been resting in the
chimney corner had digested its food
while the other had not. But this does
not prove that sleep is favorable'to di-
gestion. 1t only proves that it is better
for the digestion of dog that he should
lie down and sleep than to be put on a
chase of a dozen miles Immediately
after eating. Very likely the dog in the
chimney corner was not asleep. Dogs
often lie down with closed eyes, but the
minute door opens or any sound is
made, one or both eyes fly open, show
ing that he is taking care of things all
the while. However, l have noticed
dogs which eat and go to sleep that
would moan or bark, seemingly very
much troubled with nightmare or bad
dreams, just as people are who eat and
go directly to sleep. This is due to irrita-
ton of the solar plexus from the pres
sure and weight of full stomach. All
the vital processes of the body are
slowed during sleep, digestion among
the rest, and in consequence the germs
have better opportunity to attack the
food than if the gastric juice is more
active.-Reported by Helen L. Man

ABOUT CUTWORMS.
Starving Out the Most Reliable Remedy
Yet Discovered.


Yet Discovered.
The entomologist of the South Dakota
agricultural college has been investi-
eating the habits of the cutworm.
There are many species, but their
habits are all similar. The moths,
which are plain brown in color and
about three-fourths of an inch in
length, are abundant from midsummer
until late autumn. There is only one
brood in year and the worms usually
cease working in June, so though their
life cycle has not been closely observed,
they must be among the earlier moths
to disappear. Though the worms may
be destroyed or driven away by the use
of insecticides. etc, this is practicable
only in small gardens. Where the
fields are infested, preventive measures
must be used. The worms must have
food during the summer, so if the crop
can be harvested early and the ground
left bare they will die of starvation.
Millet has beer found to be a good crop
in Dakota for this purpose. Burning
off and spring blowing are also sue

a building will be much warmer in
winter if built upon land slightly slop-

of course, be essential in such a plan.
The yards in the front and rear should
