though grinding the grain frequently
returned profit, especially in the
case OF small grain. 1t is wasteful tc
feed unground wheat to hogs or cattle
as much of the whole wheat passos
through these animals undirested
The same is true of barley, rye and
oats, so that when small grain can.
not be ground it should be well soaked.
1t is not generally profitable, however,
to grind corn for fattening cattle and
hogs, as in most cases the animals can
grind it more cheaply than the farmer,
the undigested grains being in good
condition for the hogs which follow
the cattle. Either the crushing or the
soaking of the large, unshelled ear OF
corn has been profitable practice. In
good weather the outdoor feeding OF
cattle was more profitable th~n stall
feeding, and it is believed that . rood
shed is more profitable than a stable as
shelter for steers. Stock cannot be
fed as economically during the ex.
tremes OF winter or summer as in the
spring and fall, though winter feeding
may often be justified by the higher
prices secured, while some grain feed.
ing during the summer is often neces.
sary in order that the cattle NAV be
ready for the fall market. The cost
OF fall grain feeding of cattle has
seldom been repaid by the direct in.
crease in weight at prevailing prices.
The growth of the whole carcass,
rather than of fat, yields the profit,
which should be at least one cent per
pound. A profitable COW must not only
rear calves, but must produce milk and
finally beef.-Prairie Farmer.

PROFITABLE FISH FARMS.
A New Industry Now Being Developed by
Progressive Farmers.

A New Industry Now Being Developed by
Progressive Farmers.
The practice of raising food fish for
market has become Of late very prof
liable industry, and in some parts of
the country is being carried out on an
extensive scale.
The equipment of fish farm, as it is
called, is very simple and inexpcn-
sive operation. Land which would be
valueless for ordinary farming may be
used for the purpose, the only require
ment being plentiful supply of good
running water. The best site for n
farm is a hilly or mountainous district
where the water runs swiftly and is in
terrupted by waterfalls, since this
serves to aerate and refresh the water.
The fish farms are usually provided
with three ponds, each of which is re-
served for fish of about the same size.
AS the fish grow, they are changed
from one pond to another. The fry is
usually bought at the state or other
hatchery and placed in the first pond.
The food for the fish is the principal
expense. There are a variety of pre-
pared fish foods on the market, but it
has been found that the fish fed with
prepared food have a decidedly becfy
flavor. A plan very generally adopted
is that of planting the ponds with an
abundance of fresh water shrimp.
These grow very quickly and soon pro-
vide plentiful supply of wholesome
food.
1t will be seen that the fish require
little attention, and the consequent in
come from such crop is almost clear
profit. In the season the product OF
fish farms sells in the market at one dol.
lar pound, and out of season, if the
sale be permitted by law, a much
higher price may be realized.-Scien-
tific American

Keen Only One Rrced.

1t is best to undertake only one
breed Of fowls or, at most, two if both
eggs and broilers are desired. This
will give you an opportunity to note
closely the good points of the fowls
and try to improve them. 1t will pay
to start with a good breed, provided
proper attention is given to the
raising and feeding. Under such
conditions the thoroughbreds will al.
ways distance the barnyard fowls in
the amount and quality of their prod.
ucts, but they will not stand neglect
any better. Time and trouble are re.
quired in grading up your stock, but
they will run down hill rapidly and
without effort if once you relax y,u
care.

CHEAPLY-MADE STEAMER.

Suitable for Cooking Feed and Roots tor
Cattle or Swine.
A cheaply-made steamer for cooking
feed, roots, ETC., for cattle or swine
can be made by any farmer possessing
little mechanical genius. For such
as shown in the cut, first secure a
piece of heavy sheet iron 3x1o feet for
the bottom. A box is then made a
trifle larger than the length and width
OF the fireplace and foot high with a
tight-ftting lid. In the center of the
lid bore 2-inch hole for Pinch pipe,

above.
The feed box has two bottoms, the
second 2inches above the first. 1t is per.
forated with one-half-inch holes.

The XQcirht of Hay.

The Country Gentleman says in reply
to a correspondent who asks how to
measure a haymow to find the number
Of tons of hay: Compact timothy hay
requires about 500 cubic feet to weigh
a ton considerably more, perhaps ZOO,
as it is brought from the flcld), but the
quantity will vary with the pressure
caused by the height of the NOW, and
with the age of the grass when cut,
ripe and stiff grass yielding less under
pressure, and requiring more in bulk
to weigh a ton. Stiff, coarse hay will
be found TO weigh less than fine and
flexible hay, which will pack solid.
The quantity we have stated is fair
average for well-settled hay.

ings from the houses to the yards are

OF the middle apartment, and the yards

the fowls, while grass or any kind Of
green food is growing in the yards
marked c. When the green food is
ready the fowls are turned into those
yards, and the other yards are then
plowed and seeded down. BY this
method green food is always growing,

and the droppings turned under. As
1T is not necessary for the green food to
reach height of but few inches the
changes will be frequent A novelty
in the arrangement is that the fowls
are not opposite to each other in the
different yards, and hence quarreling
or fighting through the fence is thus
avoided, space of SO feet separating
the flocks. Any form of house may be
used, and sixteen hens and male NAV
be kept in each apartment, thus allow
ing about one hundred fowls to the en-
tire space. This plan gives 16 feet in
the poultry house to each fowl, while
the changeable yards not only supply
green food, but give fresh ground and
clean yards, as well as ample room and
greater variety of food.-Farm and

The Law and the Practice.

Display is given in the San Francis
co Examiner to the comments of Mr..
Geary on the recent decision of the
supreme court touching the Chinese
exclusion law that bears Mr.. Geary's
name. The congressman says that the
decision is doubtless the last appeal to
the courts. 1t ends the effort to open
the ports of this country to the un-
restricted incoming of the Cinnamon.
In addition, Mr.. Geary finds n larger
Significance in the decision in that IL
implies that congress has full power TO
prevent the immigration of any aliens
whose presence in this country is
deemed not desirable.
The law is all right: the question is
what the practice will be in dealing
with the unwelcome Chinese. AS the
result of persisting effort. they have
been kept out of several towns in this
state. Butte made a crusade against
them, Helena receives them with open
arms. Missoula tried to stampede
them; Anaconda practically got rid of
them-the Chinese quarter in this city
is as good as tenantless. There is no
room for the Chinese in Great Falls.
Still these offensive intruders man.
age TO work their way into Montana.
They land TO the northwest of us on
British soil. The authorities there hit
them for twenty dollars head money
and then expedite their journey
across the northern border and into
this state The federal government
has no efficient patrol, and across the
northern boundary is a sort of under
ground railway" arrangement along
which the way into this country and
out of British soil is made smooth,
after the English exchequer gets the
head tax.
No man seriously questions the abil-
ity of the federal government to stop
this migration into American states.
But the policy of succeeding admins
tration1 has been lukewarm at the
best, and so the heather from across
the sea walk i'm unhindered.
