Ration for Cattle or sheep.

Clover, hay, bran, and wheat
straw make up complete ration in
growing cattle or sheep. 1t makes
a cheap food. 1t will bring little
better result if the straw and clover
could first be run through a feed
cutter and then the bran be added.
But, if this cannot be done, the
next best plan is to feed the straw
and clover in racks or managers and
the bran in boxes or troughs. There
will be much less waste in this way
than by allowing the stock to run
in the stacks and help themselves
What is left in the racks or man.
gers can be used for bedding, and
in this way be converted into val.
liable fertilizer. -Southern Stocl

The following is a good descrip-
ton of the common purpose COW.
We do not know who gave it: Sup
pose farmer desired to raise small
grain and some corn and some
truck, such as onions, cabbage, ETC.,
and in providing the necessary
tools he would conclude he would
not fill up his tool house with q
variety of implements adapted to
each crop, but would just buy one
eight-inch pillow. He knows it is
too small for field blowing and too
large to cultivate cabbage and on
ions, but it is about half way be-
tween-and kind of happy me-
dium-a common purpose tool.
You would hardly give that man
credit for real good judgment.
Cows are the dairymen's tool in a
certain sense and should be special
ly adapted to their work.

Bearing orchards often lose their
vigor and give small and poor fruit
when allowed to grow in grass land.
without any cultivation. If the
soil is naturally rich, shallow
blowing and an occasional harrow
ing will restore their vigor. Or, if
blowing cannot conveniently be
given, they may be much improved
by being converted to pasture for
sheep, adding occasionally q top
dressing of manure in Autumn.
These animals will serve in part to
enrich the land, keep the grass
grazed short, and pick up the pre-
maturely fallen fruit, infested with
worms or insects. The amount OF
cultivation or top dressing to be
given to such orchards must be de-
termined by the annual growth Of
shoots. If less than foot in length
more vigor must be impaired to
them; if more than foot and a
half, they are quite thrifty enough.

The nutritive value of eggs and
the cheapness of their production
are scarcely realized by the public.
1t may seem rather improbable TO
state that when meat is 25 cents a
pound, the food value of eggs is
about S74 cents a dozen, yet this
seems to be the fact "A hen may
be calculated to consume one bush
81 Of corn yearly, and to lay IL or
Is pounds Of eggs. This is equiv
alent to saying that 8 ITO pounds
Of corn will produce, when fed to
this hen, one pound of eggs. A

A Kind Of Farming That will Pay.
One point needed to be emphasize
ed at this time: Farmers should
inquire more closely into the wants
of local markets, and try to meet
their requirements. It is surprising
to what an extent the interior towns
depends upon large cities-perhaps
80 or 80 miles away for products
which should be supplied by near
by farmers. In the more thickly
populated parts of the country,
fresh vegetables, poultry, eggs, meat
and dairy products are always in
demand, at fairly remunerative
prices, yet how little Of the money
paid for these commodities goes into
the pockets of farmers, who should
receive it. In fact, it is no uncom-
mon sight to see farmers buying
for their own tables vegetables
which by little forethought might
have been raised on the farm and
made source of profit.
We are not advocating the idea
that the general farmer should be
q market gardener, but well pro-
vided garden or truck patch should
be an adjunct to every farm. 1t
should be an unfailing source of
good things for the home and a
profit to it's owners. The farmer
engaged in growing staple crops
has little time to devote to other
matters; but at present low prices,
might it not pay better to grow less
wheat, corn and potatoes, and give
more attention to producing choice
vegetables to improving and in
creasing the flock OF poultry, and to
supplanting scrub stock with inn
proved breeds of cattle. Early and
late vegetables, fresh eggs, poultry
and choice butter are always in
good demand, and farmers should
produce these commodities, at least
to such an extent as to supply their
own families and the demands Of
neighboring market or mining
towns. American AgriculturGlist.

Air-slacked lime is good disin-
fectant.
One source of increased cost is in
wasteful feeding.
Feeding sheep will not fatten on
rough feed alone.
Coarse oatmeal is asplendid feed
for young poultry.
Young ducks should not be al
lowed to run to water.
Before spring work opens go over
the fences and see that they are in
good repair.
Two essential points in securing
a good oat crop are early seeding
and fine seed bed.
One of the important items in
securing the best results with ducks
is not TO allow them to get wet.
It is not q good plan to pillow up
more land than can be sufficiently
fertilized and titled to grow good
crops.
The old way was to keep the hogs
on light rations until a year old,
then pasture one summer and be-
gin to fatten at sixteen months.
Now we have the Spring pigs ready
to bring the top price in November
or December, and, where milk can
be had to give them good start, a
