One thing the dairyman should not
overlook and that is the furnishing
of food to the COW that is palatable
to her and actually gives her pleas
ure to consume. In the haste to
compound foods that are balanced,
to obtain the largest flow of milk, the
fact that the COW has likes and dis
likes must not be overlooked. True
il is the chemist may be right as to
the composition of the food, and even
its digestibility, but there is a
'something" that his reagents fail to
discover, and the COW says no to his
yes. The water that is found in grass,
silage or a turnip may, to the chem
list, be water and nothing more, but
the COW turns from these things
in the dried state and eats them
"green" with the greatest relish and
with far more profit to the owner.

Building Barns.

If you are about building a barn,
you can probably combine space and
economy by building it with base
ment. The stalls for stock should be
in the basement, but it should be so
arranged that they are dry, and that
the air is pure ana wholesome. Have
an eye to convenience in the arrange
ment of every detail. If you grow
grain, have 1t s. you can put the
straw, when you thresh. right over
the stables. II it is there, so that it
can be reached without trouble, you
will be apt to make better use OF it
in feeding than would otherwise be
the case. A large covered she'd as
an adjunct to the barn will prove
valuable. In that the stock can get
air and exercise through the winter
without being exposed to wind
storms. Keep the manure in this
shed until you are ready to haul it
out, and the saving of that product
will go far toward repaying the cost
of the shed. Farmers Home Weekly.

Elail-Threshed Grain.

A good deal of grain. especially
that grown by the small farmer, is
yet threshed by the fail Grain for
seed, we think, ought to be usually
thus threshed. The fail gets it out
slowly and it is not piled in bins in
large lots to heat and have its
vitality lessened if not destroyed
More important advantage than this
is that the fail never threshes quite
clean and what it leaves in the sheaf
is the Lighter grain. In doing more
perfect threshing, the machine
breaks or cracks the kernels so that
some of them have their germs in

every well-informed dairyman keeps
right on building silos and giving

but between cooked food and the sue
