Pigs and Small Coal.

Pigs like to chew coal, and they Dc
it from natural instinct. Among tho
causes of indigestion, diarrhoea and
other functional disturbances of the
digestive organs, is a state of abnor,
NAL acidity. To satiate a consequent
craving for an auti-acid, we often
fin horses liking the earth or lime
washed walls when opportunity oc-
ours. and probably for the same reason
pigs will evince a desire for crumbling
coal or coal cinders. In coal hydrogen
is the predominating element, and it
is also probable that when pigs are
fed for any length of time on food
which is deficient in nitrogen instinct
prompts the animal to evince a desire
for bituminous coal. Coal also con-
tains sulphur, as sulphuric acid, which,
to some extent, serves a beneficial
purpose in the animal economy. A de-
sire to consume i~ndigestible material
is not infrequently met with in all Of
our domesticated animals; but this
evidence of a deprived appetite is
generally due to some functional de-
rangement or disturbance of the di.

LIVE STOCK T

Poor pastures and too much exercise
cut down the profits.
WHAT farm stock is worth keeping is
worth keeping well.
EVEN in summer it is necessary to
have the sleeping places dry.
MANY farmers, in feeding, waste
what, if saved, would make a good
profit.
KEEP the stock out of low, damp
pastures, at night especially. during
the fall.
WHEN buying a horse for work on
the farm make this point-that it is a
good walker.
The greater the variety of grasses in
the pasture the better for the thrift of
the stock that feeds there.
In breeding, the individual merit of
the sire should be taken into account
as well as a long pedigree.
If all farmers cannot have registered
sto TX they can improve what they have
by good breeding and good care.
GIVE a colt plenty of opportunity to
exercise and he will grow faster and
make a better horse when matured.
GENERALLY a good looking horse will
sell we'll, but with speed in addition to
good looks he will be more valuable

STOCK ON 4 EARN.
Two Advantages to BE Gained by Keep
ing Good Animals.

ing Good Animals.
There are two advantages to gained
by keeping stock and feeding out 70
them the various products of the farm.
One of these is saving of the fertility
that is in the food and applying it
back to the land. The other is that
the grolIcts are sold to better advan-
tage than would otherwise be posi-
BILE. Selling grain is not only selling
fertility, but in many cases or
less waste product is left that cannot
be disposed of. Straw, corn-fodder
and often hay, cannot be marketed
except by first feeding them to stock.
By having a good variety of products
a better and more complete ration can
be made up for the stock and by hav-
ing a variety of stock all the different
products can be used.
Outside of the work teams. the mich
cows and the animals needed for
breeding, all the stock kept and fed
should be young and growing. Feed
ing matured stock is nearly always
done at a lessening Of the profits.

plan to push the feeding iH-order to
get all the stock into good marketable
condition; and whenever an animal is
ready for market the sooner the better.
In many cases it will be advisable to
buy wheat bran. middlings and oil
meal to use with the grain and rough
ness produced on the farm. One bene-
fit in this is the better variety that
can be supplied, while much of the
roughness can be used. to better adj
vantage, and will, to a certain extent,
at least, lessen the cost. With all
stock a good variety of feed will give
better results than any one material.
Then these materials increase the
value of the manure, and this is no
small item.
The quarters for the stock must be
comfortable, good water must be
given and the feeding must be done
regularly. During growth the animals
should have enough to keep them in
good thrifty condition, but in fatten-
ing they should have all that they will
eat up clean. Corn is the best fatten-
ing food and can always be made the
principal part of the ration in finish

HOW TO KEEP FRUIT.
Many Dollars Might BE Saved That Arr
Now Thrown Away.

Many Dollars Might BE Saved That Are
Now Thrown Away.
Probably there is nothing produced
IN the farm in which there is SO much
waste as in fruit, especially apples.
Fully one-half of the apples put up for
winter use by the farmers are carried
out during the winter, decayed and
worthless. This is caused partly by
carelessness and partly in Ignorance
and a proper knowledge of the meth
DDS required in keeping. Many things
are necessary to be observed to have
fruit keep well during the winter.
First. they should be picked at the
proper time-a little too early rather
thaA late. Handle carefully and re-
move all defective, then put in a cool
place for a few weeks to properly
sweat out. If there is a large quantity
put into new barrels, line with paper
and head up, put into a cellar where
the temperature may be maintained
without much variation; one at about
35 to 80 degrees is the best point. If
this is rigidly adhered to you can be
reasonably sure of their coming
through in good shape. If the cellar
gets too warm open the windows in a
cool day or night until brought down
to the proper temperature and keep
closed during any warm spell. By this
means you can regulate the tempera-
ture and keep near a given point ALI
the advantage of the cold storage is in
keeping a uniform low temperature.
If a small quantity is to be taken care
of, put them either on racks or pack
in dry wheat bran, or wrap each one
in soft paper. If you have choice fruit,
there is no doubt hat the latter plan
is the best; but the essential thing is
to keep a low, rel temperature. We
as a people are too careless aud waste
full; with a little carr many dollars
might be saved that are 10Y thrown
away.-Farm and Home.

FOOD AS A CURE FOR MOODS.

Even Fits of Temper Will Yield to a Well
Chosen Dinner.
There are few sorrows that a salad
can not solace, and the woes are not
many which will not vanish, at least
temporarily, before a carefully chosen
dessert. The food cure''is the best in
the world for moods.
Have you a fit of bad temper? Eat
your luncheon in cheerful society and
make it a delicious one with a bit of
crisp lettuce, a taste of cheese, some
toasted crackers and a cup of black
coffee. You will leave the table at
peace with all the world.
The jostling crowd which you longed
to throttle before eating will arouse
only emotions of good-natured interest
now.
Are you depressed? Dine we'll, and
the world will bear a rosy aspect after
dinner. Forswear, once and forever,
the feminine ascetic notion which has
prevailed through centuries, and you
will be healthier, happier mortal than
you ever have been before.
Only remember that to dine well
overeat, and that luncheons to be truly
successful must have due regard for
hygiene.

Quilted love and luncheons may not
minister to a mind diseased, but for the

The Science of Feeding.

In artificial feeding of cattle the
fesh-forming and heat-producing ele-
ments should bear a given relation
ship to each other, according to the
season. If a COW is not in milk she
may not need any more a~lbuminoids
than in warm weather; but she will
need more heat-producing food. But
when she is in milk she will require n
much larger proportion of album
inoids; SO that to keep up the flow of
milk she must receive those kinds of
food in which albuminoids bear q
larger proportion, as compared with
heat producing materials These
kinds of food would be meal of va

CON ENlEN IILblNu MAINS Eoh Ii
old-fashioned racks were very incon-
v~enient when feeding grain or roots to
the sheep, as their heads were either
in the dish, or continually in its way,
while those which first received their
grain or root ration finished it o
after the last one was given hers,
which gave the strong animals a chance
to eat their own and then to fight for
the ration of the weaker. The device
shown herewith consists of narrow
little doors, one for each sheep in the
pen, through which only their heads
can protrude. The doors are all opened
and shut with one movement of the
hand, and when shut can be fastened
with a single movement. Each feed
can be placed in position before the
doors are opened, SO that all can begin
to eat at the same time, while no heads
have been in the way of the feeder.
The doors may be closed between
meals."-Orange Judd Farmer.
