MEAT AND VEGETABLES.

Hens are like cows in their fondness
for green, succulent food. 1t does
not much matter what it is provided
it be green. 1t will pay every farmer
to grow n plot of potatoes, carrots
turnips, onions and cabbages es-
pecially for them. Hens thus fed are
less liable to disease, aud produce
more and stronger eggs than if given
an exclusive grain diet.
Meat and cut bone should be sup
piled in winter, but at this season they
are quite unnecessary, being only n
substitute for bugs and worms, the
natural food of the hens. Every OPP
poriunity should be afforded for OBJ
tanning these, and one of the best spots
is the orchard. Hens allowed to for
age in it will perform q double work,
not merely feeding themselves, but
protecting the trees by the destruc-
tion of insects. Nov York World.

all the rice they need and let great

KEEPING BEETs IN WINTER.

Beets are very tender and easily
injured by freezing They are there
fore most commonly put in the cell
lar, rs that can be watched more
closely than pits, and there is less
danger of frost entering before tho
owner is aware. Yet as n matter of
fact beets are better kept in pits than
in cellars. If put in the cellar at all
some earth should be thrown over
them to keep them from willing.
Care should also be taken not to have
the cellar too warm, or the roots will
sprout, and thus injure their quality.
Mangel wurtzels are better keepers
than beets They ripen later, and
will not sprout 80 early when put in
a cellar. In feeding the beets should
be given out first, aud the mangels
reserved until later in the season. =

CALvING TIME.

Most farmers have their COWS come
in in the spring, but it is question
whether it would not be more profit
able to have them calve iu the fall.
This would enable the farmer to give
them the attention which is impossi-
BILE when he is rushed with his crops.
Milk and butter are ut their highest
during the winter, and the skim milk
will enable him to rear his calves and
feed his fall-dropped pigs for the
spring market, while the cows will be
dry at the time when the farmer is
busiest and the milk lowest in price.
But these arc not the only advan-
tages. In tho winter stable the cattle
are not liable to the irritation caused
by insects, or to be injured by sud-
den changes of the weather, or chilled
by cold transforms, if only for a few
minutes. If the barns they occupy
are SO constructed as to keep them
warm, at tho Same time being we'll

neras to not allow the slightest draught
of cold mir to come upon the cattle,
they will give n more regular and
abundant flow of milk than in the
summer and of as good quality; but
all depends on the diligence with
which their comforts are attended to.
Prof Robertson, the Canadian Dairy
Commissioners, states as his experience
that COW thus managed will give, in
May, within fraction as much milk
as she did week or two after calving,
and il MIXED so as not to leave one
drop in the udder will keep up the
flow better when turned out to pas
ture. Winter dairying is more profit.

Hard milking is commonly due to q

slightly thicker in the middle than ut
each end, to prevent it from slipping
into the duct. After milking, this is

prances around on the rice until il is
all thrashed ont. Then the whole
mass is scooped ort again and squaw
tosses it up and down in birch bark
basket until the wind blows the chaff

The rice is then stored for use. The

and that is boiling. II tastes some

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Do not stint the horses that are
idle.
Trim your grape vines carefully in
the fall.
Store chats hardly ever put money
in your pocket.
Remember the vine bears its fruits
on new wood only.
Gut back the vigorous canes to three
or four buds each.
Horses should be turned out for ex-
ercise every pleasant day.
A good plan of feeding ground bone
is to mix it with other food.
Canes grown one year are the ones
to preserve for fruit next season.
1t is useless to attempt to breed pro-
fitable poultry from inferior stock.
When strictly table fowl is wanted
the gumes will be found much the
best.
Unless severely pruned moro fruit
will form than can become we'll ma
tured.
Don't let any of the crop which
you have taken pains to grow go to
waste.
Bandaging horses legs will keep
them from swelling when in the
stable.
One and two-year-old vines are not
expected to bear fruit aud are cut back
t. two or three buds.
II you have no warm stable let it
be tight at least, floor as we'll as walls.
Draught is far worse than q steady
cold.
Various systems for pruning grapes
are now in use. All are good in
their special way, but confusing to be-
ginners.
Canes that have borne one season
never bear again, hence the necessity
for keeping supply of new wood
every year.
Train the vine SO 1t may be laid
down aud covered with dirt IN winter
and raised and tied to stake or trellis
in the spring.

INJURY TO CORN FODDER BY EXPOSURE.

agricultural side products OF our

the corn stover. The custom has bee n
to leave most of this valuable feed
standing in the field and let stock take

exposed to the frosts and storms. Elk.

menfs, carefully conducted.
The chemical losses due to exposure
are chiefly losses Of the group in which
sugars and similar soluablo bodies are
found. Those soluble substances are
the ones most READILY digested and the
palatablity of. the food depends in a
large degree on the proper preserva-
tion OF these materials.
Cane growers know how rapidly
canes deterorate after heavy frost
or splitting freeze. Similar changes
take place in the corn plant which is
related to the cane, but in a smaller
degree, since the sugars are present in
a smaller quantity. The changes that
take place in weathering result in an
absolute loss Of material of the sugar
group since they are converted
into compounds that pass off into
the air. The albuminoids of the
corn plant are moro digestible
than the albuminoids of hay. But
weathering has the same effect on the
corn plant as over ripcness in hay the
albuminoids are made less digestible,
and so there is loss of avail able al
buminoids as we'll as an absolute loss
from the decomposition that is stead
lily going on. The hardening of the
woody fibre encloses the other mate
rials, so that greater resistance is Of
fered to the action of the digestive
fluids aud there is less food material
available for the support of the an
imal.
The custom of allowing the fodder
to stand in the field exposed to the
weather, results in two-fold loss
the feed becomes dry and unpalatable
us compared with we'll cured fodder,
and there is also great loss of ma
terial.
This loss of material is both me-
chancal from the breaking up of the
leaves, and chemical from the destruc-
tion of the constituents of the fod-
der. About one-kalf of the total
feed in the fodder is found in the
portion of the stalk below the ear.
Practically all this aud portion Of
the stalk above the ear are lost il the
fodder is left standing in the field.
The experience of good feeders as
we'll as feeding experiments carefully
conducted under chemical control,
indicates that the most feeding ma
terial may be derived from the corn
crop by cutting it as early as is con-
sistent with the proper curing of the
ears. Danger OF moulding may be
lessened by making the shocks smaller
than is customary. Shocks as small
as four hills square are sometimes
used and permit very free circulation
of the mir. The labor of cutting and
handling is conliderably lessened by
the use Of smaller shocks.
SO far as the writer knows the corn
stalk disease has not appeared among
cattle fed on properly cured corn
fodder, although the disease. occurs
among cattle having the range of corn
stalk fields. Home and Farm.
