.educing the amount Of food is
lot economy in feeding, as the pro
q duct may be reduced corresponding

v feeding is to have animals that will
yield the greatest quantity on GER
tain allowance OF food, and to give
them all the food they will consume

By the time they weigh $50 pounds,
and from that up to 200. Ifallowed
to grow much heavier than this the
cost OF food in proportion to gain

exercise, but after the grain is at
the expense of healthfulness Of. the
meat when killed.
All attempts to introduce corn IN
Europe has met with difficulty. The
reason is that the right kind Of corn
is not used. Only the white flint corn
is used for corn bread, hominy, etc
Il is useless to try to induce Europ-
cans to use yellow corn when it is
not used for human food in this
country. The South does not grow
the yellow variety at all.
A large majority of the weeds
that spring up are annuals,and come
from seeds.although there are others
that grow from roots and are also
produced from seeds. To get rid of
weeds it is only necessary not to al
low them to produce seed, If this 5
is done every year they are sure to :
be exterminated, but it must be the y
object to destroy every one. v
