FEEDING LIVE STOCK.
Experience, There Is No Doubt, Beats
Theory Every Time.


Theory Every Time.
A correspondent wants us to tell him
how to feed ground linseed cake. and
also wants to know why it is better
than corn or oats. This is all reasona-
BILE enough, but we are reminded that
it is easier to ask questions than an
swer them satisfactorily. There are
hardly two feeders who follow the same
plan. Those who use most of it learned
to use it through practice. We know
one feeder who fattened a large bunch
of steers on ground linseed cake and
hay alone and made great success, to
the great surprise of his ncighbors.
He is a Scotchman and claimed to be
following the method in vogue where
he came from. Another feeder, who
lives in Iowa, buys steers in the spring
and fattens them on ground linseed
cake, corn and grass, and sells them in
the fall. He winters no cattle, and he
claims to make money that way.
These are extreme cases, and we
would not recommend either to be-
ginner.
A good authority CLAIMS that in a
hundred pounds of corn eight pounds
go to make muscle and bone and seven
ty-tive pounds to make fat. In hun
dred pounds of oats eight pounds
go to muscle and bone and fifty-five
pounds to fat. But in hundred pounds
of ground linsccd cake scvcnty-five
pounds 60 to muscle and bone and forty
pounds To fat These are probably, at
least approximately, correct. 1t seems
plain, therefore, that If fat alone is
wanted, corn is the best food. But il
muscle and bone are wanted, then the
linseed cake is far ahead. 1t stands to
reason, then, that for young, growing
animals the linseed cake is most desira-
BILE. We believe, however, that a
mixed ration will give the best results.
1t is claimed for the cake, however, that
even where animals are fed for fatten-
ing, a goodly quantity of it can be fed
to advantage, owing to its having the
effect of keeping the stomach in good
condition and causing all food to be
more readily assimilated. The fact is,
the use of linsee6 cake in this country
is yet in its infancy. No one has re-
duced it to set of rules Those who
have used it most seem to be the best
pleased with the results. Some mix it
up in a slop or mash for pigs and others
feed it dry. 1t does seem, too, that
those who feed most of it prefer it
ground pretty coarse and feed it dry
either by itself or mixed with oats or
corn, or both.-Prairie Farmer

Dipping Necessary to Wealth.

The practice of dipping sheep in me
spring and fall is useful ard hea1thful
in two ways. 1t gets rid of the innu-
merable cutaneous parasites mat infcst
the flock and weary them by their con-
tinual biting and the cor sequent ex-
haustion by the loss Of so much blood,
and it is equal to < warm bath, which
SO refreshes the owner tired and an
noyed by the constant gathering Of I'M
wholesome eXcretions from the skin.
This eXcrction Is enormous in the sheep,
and as the yolk and grease which col
lcct in so large quantity on the sheep
prevent the hcalthful perspiration
which would otherwise carry off i'm
pure matter that must necessarily be
got rid of to preserve the animal in
good health, and as this interferes as
every other unhealthful condition with
the growth of the fleece, as we'll as with
the vigor of the sheep and the pros.
perity of the lamb, it viii pay to dip
the flock, although there may be no
ticks or scab to make it imperative.

To Make Hog Raising Paw.

have been raising hogs for several
years. have raised u great many, and
have never seen the time when they
did not pay unless they die Farmers
are too easily discouraged. If they
have a dozen or two hogs on hand and
crops are bad they will give them away
rather than try to keep them over, and
the following year brings a big corn
crop and they have no hogs, and rather
than buy enough to feed for their meat
they sell their corn from fifteen to
twenty-five cents per bushel, take the
proceeds from their corn and buy their
meat. This is a mistaken idea of farm
ers. They should always try to keep
hogs enough with their other stock to
eat up their corn. as ninety-nine times
out of one hundred you will get better
prices for your corn, besides you have

120 men in the Nina, Pinta and Santa

the Canary islands. After he had
sailed a great distance over an UNI

impatient and finally mutinous. They

This was San Salvador Cat island),

to Spain in March, 1898. He was re-
ccived with abundant demonstrations
of honor and joy by the public and by
the court, which gave him the title OF

he discovered Jamaica, Porto Rico and
other islands, founded colony in His

the mouth of the Orinoco. In 1900
Francisco de Bobadilla was sent to the
West Indies with power to supersede

Columbus was carried in chains to

such Indignation at this ill-treatment

conduct of Bodadilla, but declined to
reinstate Columbus in his Office. Hav-

three sons, and daughter who mar

cruise upon four Venetian gallcys,
richly laden, when Columbus jumped
from his burning ship and swan two
leagues by the aid of an oar to the
Portugal coast, and walked to Lisbon,
where lie found several Genoese. Some
say that he went to Lisbon voluntarily
