Prof. E. W. Stewart tells the readers
of the Country Gentleman how to reno
vate old animals. He says: "Cut clover
hay short, say half an inch; take cheap
molasses and dissolve one pint in one
gallon OF water, and sprinkle this upon
three pounds of the cut clover with two
pounds OF buckwheat flour and two
pounds of wheat bran. Feed this amount
to each horse or animal three times 1 |
day, commencing with little less per
day for two days" Marvellous results
are claimed for such feeding.
The acreage OF rye is steadily on the
decline in all Europe. In England |
has almost entirely disappeared. In
Belgium it has lost much ground. In
Germany and Russia it only holds is
own on the poorer lands, while in the
other countries of Europe it is greatly
decreasing in Importance. In France
the same marked diminution is to ben
ticed. Barley is also on the decline.
But oats are steadily increasing in i'm
portance, and are taking the land that
was formerly given over to rye and
barley.
