How to Feed and When to Feed Told in
Concise Way.

How to Feed and When to Feed Told in
n Concise Way.
How TO FEED.-For cattle, the roots
should be cut, to avoid choking. Horses
will eat them with safety without
Sheep should have them cut fine, by a
pulper, and fed in troughs, Cattle may
have them sliced or pulped and fed in
manger, with or without mill feed on
them, two or three times a day, or, as
some prefer to cut dry feed. straw, hay,
or cornfodder. Have two bins; put in
cut feed to the depth of eight or ten
inches. sprinkle on water to dampen
and sprinkle of salt, then tramp down
tight, then put on layer of pulped
roots and layer of cut feed and roots as
before, and so on, as many as you like,
until you have enough for one days
feeding. Let this stand until the next
day when it will be quite warm for
feeding that day, and as you take it out
it mixes together. If you want to feed
meal or bran throw it on top of it, in
the manger, then fill the other bin for
next day, as before, each bin standing
over night to ferment, which is relished
greatly by cattle.
WHEN TO FEED.-When your stable
is warm SO that manure will not freeze,
or the weather is warm, as cattle are
not benefited by roots if they stand in
the cold after eating them. Neither do
they require much water, if they have
three pecks or one bushel head per
day. In cold weather, if turned out OF
stable one hour in the middle of the
day, for drink and exercise. it is suf-
ficient. Cows milking. should be milllec,
before feeding turnips, as milking after
tends to give the butter taste of the
turnip with some cows). If it does,
drop pinch of saltpeter in the bottom
of the pan and strain the milk on it,
which destroys all turnip flavor, and
is perfectly healthful Some put a
little in the churn before churning in.

COSTLY STACKING.


How Thousands of Tons of Hay Are
Waste d Every Year.
No matter how we'll done, heavy loss
of hay results from stacking; and a
novice loses often as much as 40 per
cent. in quality and rotted, worthless
tops and sides.
This waste is worse than to give
away such proportion of standing
grass, for labor and time were required
for storing. Estimates from expert
ence Indicate that poor man would
better pay 10 per cent. interest on lum-
ber to protect hay. Hay. time and la
Dor saved would pay the interest and
gradually reduce the principal bor-
rowed, placing good barn where only
''wind swept" sod offered no shelter be-
fore. If stacks must be built, no
stack pole should be allowed; or if
used, should be sawed off close to the
hay after final settling. Poles lead
much water in that would not other
wise enter. Most water naturally en-
ters the top. A roof movable up and
down on poles surrounding the stack is
a good thing seldom seen. Even water
proofed cloth stretched over high
point and brought well down on the
stack is not to be despised, if the pins
holding it are driven in points up, so
they will not lead in water. Some
times old canvas, at cent per square
foot, serves admirably, But at best.

Some of tho Advantages Incident to this
Use of mn Evaporation. fav.,ct
With all products It is an item. not 10
allow any TO go to waste. SO far as
possible. arrangements should be made
so that when a crop is ready TO harvest
it can be saved in good season, and
with fruit this is fully as important as
with any other product TO do this to
the best advantage it is always best to
make necessary arrangements in ad.
vance, as there is almost certain to be
waste, and whatever is wasted is that
much taken from the possible profits
Whenever there is a full crop of fruit
there is always more or less that can
not be marketed to an advantage. In
nearly all cases what cannot be sold or
used can be evaporatcd or dried and
stored away for use later on, and in
this way be converted into u marISeta-
BILE product
One advantage in using the evaporator
is that the work can go on irrespective
of the weather, and there is much less
risk of loss than in drying, while, il
the work is properly done the quality
| of the product is much better and will
sell for better prices.
In showery weather it is no little
work to get fruit properly dried in the
sun, but with an evaporation the work
can go right along and as the majority
of early fruit is perishable it is best to
manage as far as possible to take care
of it as fast as it ripens Nearly all
varieties of small, as well as tree fruits,
| can be evaporated and used in the fam
lily during the winter or marketed to q
good advantage. Raspberries and
blackberries especially make an excel
lent fruit evaporated Cherries, plums
pears, peaches, apricots and apples can
be evaporated to good advantage,
and what is used in this way will help
lessen the quantity that must be sold.
| The second grade of fruit can be usec
for this purpose, insuring a better price
for what is sold and at the same time
lessening the waste. Evaporated fruits
sell at better price than the sun-dried,
and, as less work is required, can readi.
ly be made more profitable. st. Loui:

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Fowls need good shade during the
summer.
The demand for good poultry is on
the increase.
POULTRY must have plenty of green
food if they thrive well.
GUINEAs like stale bread moistened
with sweet skim milk and curd.
GEESE should be picked regularly
three or four times during the summer.
DON'T get the hens too fat, and, on
the other hand, do not starve them in
summer.
DUCKS are enormous eaters. They
not only eat all day, but often feed by
moonlight.
SULPHUR in the food is good remedy
for lice because it tends to make the
skin moist and oily
PULLETs that are hatched in May and
June, if well feed and sheltered, will
lay during the winter.
EVEN young poultry should have all
the fattening food they will eat for
several days before marketing
ONE of the best ways of feeding bones
is to break them up into small pieces
and put them where the fowls can help
themselves.
IN many cases if cholera appears it
will be better to kill all of the affected
fowls rather than run the risk of the
disease spreading.

A READY-MADE HOUSE.
Wherein the Ants Find Food and Lodging
All Prepared,

All Prepared.
Travellers tell us that it is not I'M
common in the tropics to see double
line of ants stretching from their hill
across and open space and up some tree
trunk. One-half the ants are toiling
homeward under heavy burdens of leaf
fragments the other half are hurrying
toward the source of supply.
The ants make two-fold use of the
leaves-they eat the soft. green parts
they use the harder, woody parts, the
veins and stalks, as the supporting
columns of their hills. From such
systematic labor more or less complete
defoliation of the tree results. Against
these marauders, therefore, some de-
fense must be provided, and to this end
certain plants are furnished with the
means to attract, to hold, and to impel
the honey-eating ants to fight for them.
In tropical America there grows the
tall somewhat palm-lille tree, called
by the natives the imbauba, and known
to botanists as cecropia adenopus. 1t
is rather slender; its hollow stem,
divided like the bamboo into chambers
or joints is crowned with large tender
leaves which are very attractive to
caterpillars and to leaf-cutting ants,
The contour of the hollow stem is
smooth and even, except that just
below each point in the outer surface
of the stem there is depression which
corresponds with similar depression
on the inner surface, A thin place is
thus formed: so each chamber is sepa-
ia q Il, I L.
that is thin only in one spot. Through
the thin place friendly ants bore readily,
and soon find themselves in cavity of
considerable size Within this chamber
they establish colony. The house
grows with the number of its occupants,
SO that the whole colony is never
obliged to seek larger quarters. In this
way a perfect shelter easy of access, is
provided ready made for the ants.
The imbauba furnishes food as well
as lodgings to these ants. At the bases
of the leaf stalks, amid clusters of hairs,
are formed many small, egged-shaped,
albumipous bodies. These are the solid
food of the ants. Upon various parts of
the tree are glands which secrete nectar
All ants are eXtravagantly fond of
honey, and they will get it wherever
they can. Flowers are the commonest
source of nectar, but its purpose in them
is to attract the bees, butterflies, and
even birds which transfer the pollen to
the pistils, and so fertilize them. Ants
cannot fertilize most flowers, SO their
taking the nectar would be mere rob
berry. The floral nectaries must there
fore be protected. This protection is
effected by the feeding nectaries being
situated between the flowers and the
tree trunk. The ants getenough honey
from these extra floral neetaries to
make them willing to let the others
alone -Nature's Realm AK

Prof. Voorhees, in the Rural New
Yorker it was found that both man
ures and fertilizers increase the wafer
contents of the tubers; that the form of
potash used Influences both the water

most water and least starch. Next
came yard manure, muriate and finally
sulphate of potash, the last giving the
highest contents of starch, excepting
only the tubers raised without manure

even some girls, young or old, could

First get a stake, the height you
want. Allow enough for driving into
the ground; then bore holes at certain
distances and put in pegs about six
inches long, on top, and then gradually
longer downwards. Then take hoops
such as come from sugar barrels, etc,
and nail one around the bottom pegs,
and others in spiral manner up to-
wards the top, as shown at the left of
the illustration. Paint any color, and
it will look well.
Another trellis is made like this:
Take stake, and fasten a square
frame at top and larger one at the
bottom, and drive nails close together
all around the frame, both at top and
bottom. Then take stout twine and
run up and down, all around, and you
have a fine trellis for cypress vine or
morning glories. Popular Gardener.

MUST GO TOGETHER.
To Be Successful a Creamery Must Have
Intelligent Patrons.

To Be Successful Creamery Must Have
Intelligent Patrons.
We often hear sharp criticism in
dulged in by creamery men against
their patrons and by patrons against
creamery men. 1t has been our OBJ
servation quite often that the criticism
was well deserved both ways. But we
wish to assert bedrock principle that
knows no exception: 1t is impossible
to run poor creamery when the
patrons are well posted in dairying.
They simply won't have it. The poor
creameries and cheese factories can
continue to exist only when the patrons
do not know what is due them. The
other day we read the report of
creamery at Geneva, ILL.,, and it did us
good TO note what a splendid combina
ton in society lot of intelligent
patrons and good creamery can make.
There are sixty patrons, and they de-
livered last year 5,737,757 pounds of
milk, which produced 240, 797 pounds of
butter, an average of 4.35, or q trihe
over ~ pounds of butter to 100 pounds
of milk. The amount received for the
butter was $50, ,03923.
One of the hest proofs of the intelli-
gence of the patrons is found in the ex-
cellent quality of their milk. That is
an old dairy section around Geneva,
and the dairymen there have learned
that it don't pay to have poor COW or
to keep good one poorly. Evidently
they have long since discarded the idea
that lots of milk without reference to
its quality was the thing in creamery
or cheese factory. So many farmers
have that important lesson yet to learn.
1t must be a pleasant task to run a
creamery with such lot of well-posted
dairy farmers for patrons. -Hoard's
Dairyman
