GARDEN CITY ITEMS.

GARDEN CITY, Mlnn., Mar 3, W.
Alta meeting of the executive board
of the Blue Earth County Agricult-
ural Society, lat Garden City, Saturday,
March Sd, the poultry, grain, and veg
etable premium lists were revised.
The new premium lists will contain
thirty-two breeds of poultry. Only
full-bloOdS are to be admitted: fowls
to be exhibited in trios-t two hens and
a rooster, either grown or chicks. AS
old fowls are apt to be losing their
feathers at the time Of year when the
fair is held, it was thought the chicks
could be put in the same class with
the old birds.
The different breeds to be admitted
are: Light and dark Brahmas; buff,
partridge, and white Cochins; Lang
shangs: Indian Games; Plymouth
Rocks, and white Plymouth Rocks:
Silver Wyandottes; black Javas; Span
ish white face; black MinOrcaS; white
Rose Comb White: brown Rose Comb
Brown; black Leghorn: black Tou-
louise, white Chinese, and Embden
Geese; silver spangled, and golden
spangled Hamburgs: Houdans: bronze
and white Turkeys; Augsburg, Rou-
en-, and Pekin Ducks
For the purpose of finding out how
much corn can be raised from an acre
of Blue Earth county soil, Mr.. James
Miller, of Amboy, proposed that next
fall premium of S25 be paid the per-
son raising the most bushels of corn
on an acre-samples to be shown at
the fair, and the rest to be husked at
a time after the fair, under the super
vision of disinterested person, and
report to be handed in at the annual
meeting Of the society. The party
raising the most corn from an acre to
receive the premium.
Mr.. Miller proposed to raise this
premium by subscription; he thought
business men, farmers, and others,
would be interested, and S25 could be
raised anyway, perhaps more. Any
one having questions to ask, or who
willing to subscribe to the fund, are
asked to correspond with the secreta-
ry, r. B. Nickerson, Garden City,

So close was it indeed that there was not

watched the church path which goes up

Then there came sound Of singing

Variety of Feed For Stock.

The chief purpose in growing roots
for stock feed is to furnish succulent
feed and to give greater variety. We
doubt whether in our dry summers a
ton of roots of any kind can be grown as
cheaply as ton of green, succulent corn.
But a diet of cornstalks and grain with
no other feed soon becomes monotonous
and clogs the appetite. Corn is carbo-
naceous. 1t is like white flour bread in
this respect. The story is told of doc
tor who, for experiment, fed some dogs
on bread made from white -four They
were finally nearly Or quite starved,
though they had all the bread that they
cloud eat. So long as the silo is devoted
mainly to keeping corn fodder this feed
will need to be supplemented with some
more heterogeneous feed. There is also a
question of taste to be satisfied. The
same thing day after day pals the APP
petite, though its chemical analysis may
show it to be what is needed There are
number of kinds of roots, and it pays
to grow some of each kind and alter
nate i'll feeding them. Exchange.

Advocates of this breed claim that it
comes nearer furnishing the general

days after calving, 81 pounds ounces
of milk in "a hours, the milk yielding
a. 73 per cent of butter fat. After fresh

Feeding Working Horses.

It requires as good Judgment proper
" to feed working horse as to prac-
tice medicine 1t will hardly do to feed
expected of it, and still when worked
steadily and hard every day more feed
should be given than when idle, or when
kept, as many horses are, mostly idle
and for use next summer, and when
used driven at a slow gait only and
used very little. Well cured clover hay
is good food, and if clean and free from
dust may constitute their entire food.
Mr. Terry claims to feed his working
team nothing but clover hay, but could
never see how such course could be
profitable. 1 want my horses to work
too many hours in a day and to work
too hard to keep in proper condition on
clover hay alone.
When being wintered on clover hay
alone, horses should have enough to
keep in good flesh and should be fed not
less than three times daily-four would
be better, so as not to be obliged to eat
too much at one time. But where horses
are working hard or driven much faster
than walk it is better that the clover
hay ration be lessened in amount and
some grain be added. If the owner cam
endure seeing them standing idle and
with nothing to eat, the managers may
be filled with straw-oat, wheat Or al
most any other straw, if bright and free
from dust. For LOO pound hard
working horse not driven fast 8 pounds
day may be given in two or three
feeds. To this should be added enough
grain to keep the horse in condition
i. e., with no loss of flesh. To driving
horse of that weight I would give not
over to 10 pounds and give nearly all
of that at night-not more than two
pounds in the morning and none at
noon. To this add sufficient grain to
maintain the condition Of course clo-
yer hay, OF, for that matter, any other
hay that is musty or NOW burned, is not
fit food for any animal, much less the
horse, and if the owner be obliged to
feed such hay it should always be well
wetted and several hours before being
fed. S. Woodward in Rural New
Yorker.

his ancestors was the old thoroughbred
black Denmark. Woodford Squirrel is
one of the most accomplished and high
~ educated horses in America. He has
six distinct saddle gaits. These are slow
walk, amble, running walk, canter,
rack and trot. The fast or running walk
is the perhaps most valuable of all these
gaits for steady use. 1t is a gait devel-
oped in higher perfection in Kentucky

Value of Poultry Products.

Poultry products have one great adj
vantage over other produce of nearly
proportionate Importance. Spectators
cannot get up corner in eggs or poul-
try because they are a universal produc-
ton, no place having a controlling in
terest and each usually producing its
own, and being perishable and likely to
injure in shipment they bring the money
usually in their own district Farmers
and fanciers do not notice what amount
comes in from this source because they
receive it in the way of small change or
groceries when if received as a check
they would see its value. Exchange.
