process, consisting Of solution and chsmi-
cal change of the nutrients by means of
tie digestive fluids; and the rapidity of
this process depends in general upon the
same conditions which determine that of
similar processes outside the body. Hard
and compact fodderis less easily digested
than that which is soft and watery, because
it is not SO easily penetrated by the juices
and hence expose less surface to their
action, just as coarse salt disso,ves more
slowly than fine. As in a chemical pro-
cess the proportion of the substances is of
the greatest Importance, SO in digestion
the proportion of albumiuolds. fat and
carbohydrates exercises an important in
1uence on the digestibility of each of these
groups. If the fodder be poor in album
inoids and rich in starchy matter, the
latter may escape dige stion in considerable
quantities, and that which thus escapes is
a dead loss, since it does not aid in the
albuminoids, if they are in too great ex-
cess they pass untouched by the digestive
animal fluids into the manure.
In a properly proportional food the mat
tiers which escape digestion are compar-
a%tiVely small, though a perfect digestion
of them is not to be expected in any clse.
These matters have, therefore, been made
the subject of considerable study aud ex-
pertinent. and the results have had an i'm
portant bearing upon the economical use
OF the folders aud feeds in the pr oductiou
of the various animal products.
Digestion experiments chiefly carried
out by German chemists rave shown
within reasonable limits the amount of
a~lbuminoids, fat and carbohydrates, capa-
BILE of digestion in the different materials
and by various animals. The digestibility
of the food compounds in some of the
more important feeds is here given:

HEROES

|
Because no martial trumpet is sounding.
No drum-beat sending its call through the
land,
Do you think no conflicts around us are
waging,
NO heroes fighting on every hand?
Do you think there must always be bloodshed
and carnage,
And graves deep and many when battle is
through?
Do you think I'll the courage to fight in iife's
battles
Lies under the grass with the brave boys in
blue?
There is many a battle around us surging
The voice of whose conflict can not reach
our ear;
More than one hero has won his promotion,
And we did not know that the hero was near.
Oh, the foes that we meet along in our weak
ness,
The fees we must fight for ourselves in life!
The foes who come with no banners flying,
With never a sound of drum-beat OF fife.
When we meet. on the field Ct life. and con-
These foes that spring up in our heart and
brain;
We are greater than he who taketh a city
And better and sweetert the prize We gain.

TIL SETTLING Up IN CERTAIN.

lou may take the world as it comes and goes,
And you will be sure to ind
That fate will squire the accounts she owes,
Whoever comes out behind;
And all things bad that u man has done,
By whatsoever induced,
Return at last to him one by one,
As the chickens come home TO roost.
You may scrape and toll and pinch ard save
While your boarded wealth expands,
Till the cold, dark shadows of the grave
Is nearing your life's last sands;
You will have your balances struck some night
And You'll find your hoard reduced,
You'll view your life in another light
when the chickens come home to roost.
You can stint your soul and starve your heart
With the husks of a barren creed,
But Christ will know ifyou play a part,
Will know in your hour of need;
And then as you wait for death to come
What hope can there be deduced
From a ere ed alone? You will lie there dumb
While your chickens come home to roost.
Sow as you will, there's a time to reap.
For the good and the bad as we'll,
And conscience, whether we wake or sleer,
Is either II heaven or hell.
And every wrong will find its place,
And every passion loosed
Drifts back ana meets you face to face,
When the chickens come home to roost.
Whether you're over or under the sod,
The result will be the same;
You CANNOT escape the hand of God;
You must bear your sir or shame.
No matter what's carved on a marble slab.
When the items are all produced,
You'll find that st. Peter was keeping tab,
And that chickens come home to roost.

FEEDING o SPEED AND FOR FARM WORK.
In feeding for speed the object is mus
cular energy, hence the feed must be of
such a character as to produce what is
termed hardness. This necessitates the
use of those materials rich IN muscle
formers, viz a~lbumenoids. Bulky and
carbonaceous food must be a minimum
aud concentrated foods, rich in ash or
mineral matter, In the maximum. For
farm or slow work the carbonaceous and
bulky food can be increased. The follow
ing mixtures illustrate the principles
involved:

THE TORx LEAF.

A witching charm pervades the things beyond
our eager grasp.
We'd throw away the prizes won for those we
cannot clasp:
All day we wait for sunset and all night we
watch tor dawn;
The best part of life's story is the leaf that's
torn and gone.
The past is shadowed with regret, the future
has its doubt,
And every rose that we would pluck, with
tborns is hedged about.
The dream, the long, the hope, the prayer,
things we loved were on
The page for which we all despair, the leaf
that's torn and gone.

RAT1oNs FOR MILK.


FEEDING o BUTTER.
In preparing a butter ration the only
precautioa to be observed is to avoid such
concentrated feeds as have bad influence
on the quality and texture of the butter.
Corn meal is considered one of the best
since IL gives color, solidity and fineness Of
texture to the butter, while large quanti-
ties of linsesd meal produce a light-colored
and runny butter, l. g.: one in which the
meeting point Of the butter fat is low
Wheat bran also gives a light color and
less flavor, though not materially inf1uenc-
ing the melting point. Coltonseed meal
If fed in proper quantities can safely be
included in the ration, la regard to both
linseed and cottonseed meal the following
precautions should be observed: Neither
linseed or ~eottonseed meal should be fed
When the COWS are heavy W it'll cali. and
cottonseed should not as = rule be led in
greater quantities than two pounds per
dav.

FEEDISG FOR FAT.
La feeding tor beef or fat the carbon
aceous foods may be largely increased,
though the idea that corn meal is the best
for the purpose is not entirely true. Sufi-
eient of the concentrated materials must
be added to make the food rich in album
enoids as well, as the formation of TAT
must proceed along with the formation Of
lean meat aud bcre. In experiments con-
Quoted to determine this point cotton seed
meal, wheat bran, wheat middlings, dried
brewers grains and linseed meal have
been found very valuable. This principle
applies both to beef and pork. The fol-
lowing ation show how the foods may
be combined to secure the amounts and
proportions of the food compounds indi-
Gated as best.
