There are no safer foods for little
chicks than milk curd and bread and
milk. Hard boiled egg perhaps once
every other day is good, but cheaper
corn meal must gradually replace these.
Soon, one-third of bran, ground oats,
rye or beans, and two-thirds corn meal
will be relshed. To neither chickens
nor hens do l ever give any sort OF
meal without scalding 1t. Salt, pepper
and other spices, when used. are mixed

2. Any increase in the grain fed over
six pounds per day increased the cost
OF the dairy products almost without
exception; and the test indicates that,
with the folders used, eight pounds Of
grain is the highest limit for the great
est profit.
s. Considered from the point of price,
lucerne hay and grain seem to be a
more economic ration than one of mix

weight Of food, there is very little diff
terence, though the results are slightly
In favor Of lucerne.
4. 1t is evident from these tests that,
with the price of lucerne as reported

.ood cost in winter of less than nine
cents day per 1000 pounds live
weight, even with cows that will pro-
duce one pound of butter or more day
s. The test also shows that, with the
right kind of cows. butter fat may be
produced during the winter at cost
, OF not more than nine cents per pound

were, without exception. the largest

A genius in Tonawanda, N. Y, has

1t can fill the office Of n man. In some
respects 1t will be an improvement on
the ordinary man. 1t won't swear,
steal. nor talk finance at the store while
ones wife does washing and kills pO-
tato bugs at home. In fact, it doesn't
talk at all. This quality would have

necessary to send an army Of electrical

Value Of sheep.


1t does not require a large farm to

vent the growth OF weeds and bushes.
Where sheep have the range Of field
very few weeds will 60 to seed, and
bushes will be SO thoroughly cropped
that they will either die or be kept
back When a farmer can thus easily
turn the weeds and bus' of a farm in
to excellent manure. and at the same
time have them converted into mutton
and wool, it is certainly good thing,
Sheep will thrive in a pasture and get
fat where cattle would almost s.arve.
They also scatter their droppings oven
the field and never fail TO enrich lands,
where kept. Feed them extra, for this
additional food works to the profit OF
the raiser in two ways-it not only
insures a good growth of flesh and
wool, but it makes the manure richer
and more valuable.

A sheep must be fed to make the best
mutton, but few conceive that a we'll

from feeding, the same as fat. and
many farmers lose half the profit from
neglect to feed properly. Sheep should
have besides good feed, dry, clean
quarters, sheltered from rain and
storms.

The Losses In washington.

WASHINGTON. Oct 3.-The property loss
from the recent hurricane which visited
Washington is thought to be considerably
more than was first estimated. Repre-
sentatives Of the building inspectors say
that many structures have been wrenched
and made unsafe, and large list Of walls
which must be torn down and buildings
repaired is being prepared. The Bijou has
been ordered closed until the walls and
roof arc repaired. The manager of the
Grand Opera House was notified that only
the first floor can be used for the present.
Several church edifices and charitable in
stitutions are being inspected with a view
to extensive repairs The loss to residences
and stores where repairs will be ordered is
large, and in the aggregate the loss will
be upward of 5000, 600.
