CURES careful management. says Nj. F..
keoch of Iowa in the Orange Judd
Farmer. They should be thoroughly rip
ened before taken from the vines. and
the shell should be hard and we'll glazed
over. Gather them before they are
nipped by frost. If left on the vines un>
til they are chilled enough to change
the color. they will not keep we'll. Gath
er them OIL sunny day, to be sure that
they are perfectly dry. Handle care
fully. If intended for winter use they
must not be bruised, or the stem broken,
rs the slightest injury will increase the
liability to decay. Discard all the soft
shelled or unripe ones. Much depends
on keeping them from moisture. Damp
ness and an uneven temperature are IA
tai to good keeping. If kept in warm,
damp cellar. they will soon rot. The best
plan is to place them on shelf or ON
the floor in a frost-proof garnet. If stored
in heaps. the under ones will send out
the moisture and cause the whole lot to
rot in short time.

The Best Use of Bran.

Bran is much more highly thought of as
feed than it used to he. But it has it's
limitations, and should not be relied upon
entirely when fed alone. 1t is an excel
lent feed to give to animals that have
surfeit of corn. and should always
form part of the ration of fattenine
sheep. 1t is not so good for hogs. as it's
coarse texture makes it unpalatable. But
fine wheat middlings have all of the cx
cellences of bran, and will be eaten in
greater quantities by fattening hogs.
The bran and wheat middlings furnish
a greater proportion of albuminoids than
corn has. and therefore supplement its
deficiencies. Wheat bran is an excellent
Alternative for horses fed on timothy hay

good and will be all the better if a table

SO laxative as bran. and are better there,
fore for horses that have to work hard,
though both the bran and mid(llings con.
tain much of the nutrimcnts that builds
up bone and muscle and increases

Feeding Hay to Hens.

Most of people think that it is impos-
slble to furnish an adequate supply of
green food for their fowls during the
winter, and do not think that the substi-
tute they furnish their horses or cattle
might he used in feeding their fowls
just as well. Hay is nothing but dried
grass. as everyone knows. and it con-
tains all the elements of nutrition that
is found in grass. when green, the only
change being that the water it contained
has been cvaporatel. leaving all the
other elements in practically their orig
lnal condition. Feeding hens hay is Il
comparatively new idea. but it is one
that has immense possibilities. and if
good clover hay that has been cut when
at the proper stage is cut I'D finely and
STEPPED and mixed with bran or shorts
it will be dcvoured with evident relisl,
and with profit to the poultry keeper.
Clover is good egg food in itself. and
when it has been made into hay it is
just as good as it is green. If there is
no hay cutter about the place. the heads
and leaves that shatter off in feeding
the other stock may be used in place of
cut hay, as they are really more val
nabie pound for pound than the whole
hay. IT these are even gathered u
and thrown to the poultry without any
preparation, It is astonishing how much
of it they will eat and what il good eff
feet it has on the production of eggs
Other sorts of hay may be used with
benefit. but clover is the sort that makes
hens lay the most eggs, and that they
like best.

Scattering Grain as Green Manure.

The grain wasted in harvesting is often
quite good seeding for the land if it
We're evenly distributed, When grain
stubble is plowed for fall seeding this
scattered grain quickly terminates and
soon makes considerable growth. 1t is
sometimes question with farmers how
long it shall be allowed to grow after
the field is plowed before the green shoots
are cultivated under. The new growth
takes soluble fertility from the soil and
returns it in less available condition as ii
has to rot before the fall grain can get
any benefit from it, Besides. the turn
ing under of any considerable green herb
age in the fall makes the soil too porous,
and this causes winter grain to winter
kill; besides, as the scattered grain grows
it takes moisture from the soil which
the new seeding of winter grain needs to
make it terminate.
