FEEDING 80 CENT WHEAT.
a Michigan Farmer Expresses Himself on
This Interesting Subject.

a Michigan Farmer Expresses Himself on
This Interesting Subject.
With wheat at the extremely low fig
nTes Of the past year, farmers will
either stop raising it Or they will feed
it to their stock, and in that way re-
alizo moro than tho market price. I'm
doubleday the latter plan will be found
good one, writes a Michigan farmer
to Tho American Agriculturist. He
says: Just how much can be realized
by feeding wheat can only be deter
mined by experiment, and tits advisable
to begin at once to find out tho way TO
attain best results. So little wheat has
been fed to stock in former years that it
is difficult to give very definite idea
of its feeding value. That it is worth
more than a cent a pound nearly all
will admit, and tho prices paid for
bran and middlings arc more, proper
tionately, than the wheat Will bring if
BOLD. It would seem to be poor policy
for the farmer to sell the ono and buy
the other at tho present prices.
There is no doubt but that oats will
bring considerably moro than cent a
pound for the next year. Wherever
wheat can be substituted for cats as
feed it will be advisable to dose. Some
farmers have experimental in this di-
rection, and claim that two quarts Of
wheat are equal to four quarts of oats
when fed to horses. Others say that
hogs fatten rapidly and make q good
quality of pork when fed upon waeat.
II this is true, there need be no uneasi-
ness in regard to disposing of the
wheat crop proftably, for so cent wheat
cannot fail to more than double in price
if sold as pork this year.
1t is best to soak OF chop the wheat
for feed. In beginning the feed let a
small ration only be given until the
animals become accustomed to the
change from the usual food. Sudden
changes of feed are never desirable in
any stock, and may result in great dam
age.
There is no doubt of the profit in feed
ing wheat to poultry. No other food is
60 good for laying hens, and bushel 30
fed is sure to bring many times its mar
ket value in eggs. A bushel of wheat
has been known to produce 81 worth
OF eggs, and that in summer, when eggs
are cheap. Perhaps not all hens will do
as we'll. but there is no question but
that it will generally pay more than
81 bushel if fed to poultry.

Success With Incubators,

American Agricultural very truly
says: Those who use incubators and
raise broilers can proftably add this
branch to their general work, as it comes
at time when the hurry and drive of
farm work are over. From it they can
derive substantial profit, but hardly the
easy fortune that is so often painted by
writers with more imagination than ex-
perlence. But they would better let it
entirely alone, unless they have provid-
ed proper appliances for the successful
prosecution of the work. One or more
good incubators, propea. brooder house
with suitable brooding arrangements,
willingness to work and study of the
details, the mastery of which are sine
qua non to success, must be had. With
out them it would be more profitable
for the farmer to sit before the kitchen
fire and dream away the hours. We
have known farmers who made this
branch of poultry keeping pay. But
they were workers, and men who were
willing to take all the necessary pains
to win success. But even these men
have not found bonanza in the raising
of broilers. They have done we'll, but
they are not yet the owners of brick
blocks and numerous shares in rail-
roads and other corporations. They
have, however, made the winter months
as profitable and as busy as the other
months of the year, and secured plenty
of work at good pay for themselves,
when they otherwise would have been
but partially employed. And this is
perhaps a sufficient reason for advocat-
ing this industry.
