Foods for Cattle.

Cattle foods are classed as carbon
aceous and nitroge nous; the former, of
which corn is the principal one EN-
ployed, produces chiefly heat and fat;
there are scarcely any milk-r reducing
forces in it, nor is its fertilizing energy
of any great value. Living on heat its
function is to produce heat in the ami
NAL structure; therefore, don't feed a
mich cow any more corn than will
serve to balance her ration proper
lv. The heterogeneous foods are those
rich in albuminods and which pro-
duccs muscle, aud therefore milk They
are oats, wheat bran, cotton-seed meal,
linseed meal and some others. These
foods not only produce the most and
best milk, but they are the best to pro-
mote growth in the young animal.

PlG-PEN POINTERS.

PUMPKINS can profitably be raised to
feed hogs or cows in the fall.
Do NOT be stingy with the bedding
given hogs, especially the SOW who is in
farrow.
AVON getting your breeding boar too
fat; rather give him food that forms
bone and muscle
The curl in the pigs tail is an indica-
ton of health and thrift Don't fail to
keep your eye on the indicator.
STAGNANT water is the home of dis
ease germs; hence it is the best policy
to have drain in the hog yard.
WHEN you purchase any pigs quar-
sntine them for thirty days before let
ting them associate with your Others.
NEVER feed a pig SO literally but that
it will always be ready to eat heartily
at the next meal, Over-gorging is as
Improbable as half-starving il.
THE grass-fed SOW never becomes adj
dicted to the vice OF pig eating. Her
whole system is in good condition, and
only feverish, constipated sows devour
their pigs
PICS should be taught to eat at the
earliest age possible. Give them milk
in shallow trough, and oats upon the
ground where the sow cannot get to
modest them.
THE best quality of meat is secured
from a pig and not from hog, There
| fore we should crowd our pigs from
birth so as to get them At for market
at the earliest possible age-six mcnths.
WHEN you are compelled to keep
your swine penned up, II you expect
them to thrive as they should, you must
see that they get some green food daily.
In winter articholles, turnips and the
small potatoes should take the place OF
grass and clover. - Colmans Rural

How 1t May BE Enlarged at Compare

There are scores of poultry houses

like ten by fourteen feet, accomodat-
ing twenty or twenty-five fowls; and
there are scores Of owners of these
buildings who would like to keep a
larger stock of poultry were the ac-
commodations for housing them am

how these single houses may readily be
enlarged to three times their present
size, and that, too, at small expense.
Two wings of equal dimensions with
the original building are built upon its
sides, the roof of each being contin-
uation of the original roof, though
forming n small angle at the point OF
juncture. The side walls of the old
building are left intact for increased
warmth in the inner room, where a
more tender breed of fowls, such as the
Leghorns, may be kept in winter, Civ.

hardy Plymouth Rocks or Brahmas.
Through these side walls, however, is

SO that communication may be had
