Feed the Grain.

There is large amount of grain in
the farmers hands which is not worth
much money to sell. Oats are worth
10 to IL cents n bushel and corn about
10 cents and there is not good pros.
pect that there will be much of any
change until the reports come in as
to the condition of next years crop.
The government reports show that
there is a big crop. If next years
crop should be light there will be a
rise. If the crop prospects next
spring are good they will be cheap.
The outlook now is that butter will
bring fair price in comparison with
grain.
A bushel of oats and corn properly
fed to COWS will make q pound of but
ter, which is now worth more than a
bushel of oats and corn.
The value of the manure from
grain fed stock is worth three times
as much as from stock fed only on
hay. BY feeding large grain rations
to the cows the quality of butter can
be doubled from each COW and the
dairylnan can have another profit
from the milk for his hogs and the
increased fertility of land.
Those who are not Obliged to sell
will be wise to feed all their grain at
home. If they have not got the
stock they can lie purchased at rea-
sonable prices.
Every we'll regulated farm should
have corn cribs and granary room
enough to hold much more than
enough for the winters supply. 1t
quite often happens that two large
crops are not raised in succession
and we often see farmers compelled
to buy corn and oats for their stock
or let them go without it. or until
they raise it. This entails q loss in
the production of butter and the
growth of their stock. 1t is a good
plan to always have plenty of old hay
and grain on hand for next year, and
then if your crop is short you have
something to fall back on, and if you
don't need it yourself there is always
sale for it to some one who has not
been SO thoughtful. A surplus is
better than deticit.-Saturday
