Grain for Live Stock.

1t is good plan TO husband the
grain carefully. Economy is always
advisable. Economy means, however,
right action. 1t does not always mean
to save and withhold food from domes-
tic animals. Cattle intended for beef
or dairy products must be kept in thrifty
condition. During the next four weeks
the temptation will arise on many farms
TO withhold the grain as the new grass
comes on.
As q rule it is best to furnish a
moderate amount of grain in early
spring along with the first grass and
this season with cheap grain it is
especially advisable. Much better
gain will be made in the growth Of
all the stock and the condition Of the
animal for an exclusive diet OF grass
through the summer is sendered more
favorable. To stop feeding grain at
the first appearance Of grass allows
the frame of the animal TO become weak
ened, and Q chronic weakness Of the
digestive organs is liable to follow,
impsiring forever the usefulness Of
the animal and its progeny.
The fodder and other provender
should be furnished the animals in
connection with the early grazing and
should be offered as tempting bait
that the average of the daily rstions
shall be such as to avoid bad results
from the extreme of moist food.
Where one does not have bright
provender of some sort to tempt the
grazing animals, along with their
grass, it 10 best not TO permit grazing
until the pasture is we'll covered with
strong blades Of green.
In the case of horses at hard work,
and Of stock that isfattening TO finish
within the next sixty days, it is best
to restrain them from grazing in lati.
tudes north Of the 40th parallel, until
after May 10.
During the first week of grazing
with all stock, too, it is best usually to
put little lime in the drinking water.
Corn, rye and barley as grain food
for the stock should usually be mixed
with oats and shorts for best results.
A mixture of two kinds OF cereals is
always desirable.-Farm, Field and
Fireside.

MED hat his company controlled the
sugar market or fixed the price of SUI

had not increased because OF the acqui-
