FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Carrots are delicacies to horses and
cattle. When animals are sick and re-
fuse food they may sometimes b.
tempted to eat carrots. which shows
that they stand at the hend of all root
crops as food for the stock.
The freezing point of potatoes is 3d.
degrees, and they must not be kept in
the light. Keep them at a temperature
between "a and 40 degrees (the lower
the temperature the better), so as to
prevent sprouting.
When large numbers of stock are fed
together the stronger will continually
crowd away the weaker ones, who fail
to procure enough food to be in good,
thrifty condition. Such an unequal d.
vision causes IN increase in the cost. 1t
is better to divide up into reasonably
small lots, according to size, nge and
condition.
A veteran broncho breaker gives the
following rs sure way to cure horse
of kicking: Tie one of his forelegs
with rope to his hind leg on the other
side. AS soon as he starts to kick he
jerks his front leg off the ground and
he goes down in heap. Two or three
doses of that kind will cure the worst
case you can find" ]
The larger the animal the more it
costs to maintain it. as n rule, henceit
will cost much more in proportion to
weight to produce hog weighing 300
pounds than one weighing 100 pounds.
Consequently there is a larger profit per
pound from the small hog than from
the large one. and the farmer can keep
more small hogs than he can of large
