Profitable Feeding.

"What to feed with profit" writes . sue
cessful farmer, 'has been made astudy with
many practical dairymen, and what may
seem best and profitable one season, may
not be another. For instance, if grain feed
10 cheap it may be economy to feed that,or
if grain 10 high and one has second cut
ting Of clover he may get along for time
with that, or, what is more commonly prac-
ticed, he may depend on green fodder corn
till frost comes. From the first frosts till
winter really sets in, if there is much of
dairy kept, you will generally see the COWS
are allowed to have about everything that
grows, from the pickings of the corn fields
to the aftermath of the meadows, thus leav-
ing them unprotected against our rigorous
winters.
1.-THE kind and amount of grain ration
that may profitably be fed varies greatly
with conditions of cost, some once pro1ta-
BILE feeds having been doomed out of sight.
Cotton seed meal, for instance, which would
now cost about $50 per ton delivered, not
many years ago could be bought for half
that price. Linseed meal the same way.
The price of fax seed and oil have declined,
but the price of the refuse goes up, the same
being true to certain extent with wheat
bran. The dairyman has to watch his
chances and buy and use what seems best at
the price. With well cared, mature corn en-
silage no large amount of grain feed is re-
quired, and good results may be obtained
with cheap feed. My winters supply con-
sists of wheat bran, costing SIG per ton;
oat dust, at Sl4, and buckwheat shorts, at
$12 per ton. A ton of good timothy hay
baled and put on the cars nearly pays for a
ton of this mixture, and consider 1t good
exchange. The Vermont experiment station
reports oat dust to be equal to corn meal
for the production of milk. The manurial
value of feed for the dairy should be con-
sidered in buying, and in this respect l
think cotton seed meal heads the list with
linseed and wheat bran not far behind.
1.-THE Wisconsin Experiment Station has
recently published what it claims to be well
balanced rations for the dairy, and says:
sThe daily feeding standard for mich
COWS of 1000 pounds weight should con-
tain 1-2 pounds Of protein, 4 pounds Of
fats, 12 1-2 pounds of sugar and starch
and "a 1.2 pounds dry matter The to'-
lowing are rations properly made OF 'hr
required quantities:
1. Corn silage, 40 pounds; clover hay,
pounds; wheat bran, 6 pounds and corn
meal, 3 pounds.
2. Fodder corn, 90 pounds; hay, 2
pounds; oats, pounds; shorts, pounds,
and oil meal, pounds.
3. Hay, i pounds; corn fodder, IL
pounds; corn meal, pounds; cottonseed
meal, pounds; and gluten meal, l-2
pounds.
4. Silage, 30 pounds; hay, 10 pounds !;
corn meal, pounds; cottonseed meal, 4
pounds; gluten meal, pounds.
while farmers cannot well know the
chemical properties of all the various feeds
they may have, still published formulas
may be a guide to proper feeding"

Ancient Beliefs That Trees Were the An

The descent Of the human race from

the oldest myths that can be found run

nation. In Virgil we find reference
10 the race of linen who took their birth
from trunks of trees" and among some
M the early commentators ON that
statement we even find speculations as
10 the particular species of tree from
which the race sprung. The very earliest
Egyptians as we'll as those who lived
under later dynasties had a legend of
the tree of life, " and many of the
leading investigators, both ancient and
modern, have expressed the opinion
that from Egypt came the Biblical story
of the "treo Of knowledge of good and
evil" which graced the original garden
made by the All Wise for our first par
ents.

and it has been found that less than 10
per cent of the whole give forth distin-
guishable odors OF have perceptiblo

predominating by at least one-third, and
only one-sixth of that class are odorifer-
