a FTER MUCH EXPERIMENTING
IA with the aid of expert advice we have
at considerable expense produced and put
upon the market health biscuit. combining
peptoniz d beef with other pure ingredients
making most nourishing and palatable bis.
cult for general use and especially suitable for
person of sedensary habits or such as are suf.
feridg with impaired digestion. We have
named tn biscuit
pEPTONE BEEF AND BREAD BISCUIT
which is stamped upon every cracker. Our
biscuit is patented, and, in addition. we have
applied for label registration, of which we.
now give notice.
These crackers are very carefully put up in
attractive one pound cartons, odorless parch.
ment paper being used on the inside, and a
wrapper under seal) covering the outside of
the carton, thus protecting the goods from
all contamination, keeping them pure and
clean until they shall reach the hands of the
consumer.
Each cracker contains 10 per cent in &C.
tual weight of the beef meal of "The Yir.
ginia Beef Extract and Beef Meal Company"
of Alexandria, Va, Which is the equivalent
of about ID ounces Of fresh lean beef to every
pound of flour. The beef thus highly con.
centrated being III the form of peptone is
resdily assmilated and is very nourishing.

feeding them. This gives the small
farmer chance to raise the pigs
and sell them to the large farmer
and feeder. The first essential to
success is to have good stock, and
the next is good care and feeding.
Do not try to keep more sows than
can be properly cared for, and aim
to let each sow raise two litters a
year, one litter in March and then
one in August or the very first of
September. If it can be so arranged
let the sows have range of a clover
field. For feed there is nothing bet
ter than corn and oats, equal parts,
ground and soaked from one feed
to the next. When the pigs are
about eight weeks old take the sow
away from them, and she will be
ready to breed again in "A few days
The first 100 pounds of hog cost the
least money, therefore unless we
have plenty of feed without buying
there can be more clear money made
by raising larger number of pigs
and selling them at an earlier age
1t is an old saying that 1.-The proof
of the pudding is in the eating
thereof

Corn siIage VS.. Dry Corn-Fodder.

An interesting experiment with
feeding corn silage and dry corn
fodder to dairy cows has just been
concluded at the New jersey Agri-
cultural Experiment Station. The
experiment was conducted by
Director Voorhees, and Dairy Prof.
Lane to determine the relative cost
and feeding value of these two
substances, A summary of their
conclusions follows:
Applying the results in prac-
teal way, that is to the actual
amount of corn put into the silo,
namely 1876 tons, it is shown that
what did cost $l3464 to store and
prepare in the form of silage would
have cost in the form of dried fOd-
der $l23.72, or $l0.92 less. Deducting
from the amount put into the silo
the per cent. loss, it is found that
there remained for feeding 1920
lbs. of dry matter, sufficient for one
cow for 6,647 days, or for thirty cows
222 days. This, or its equivalent,
was practically what was done with
the silage, and with an actual
average yield during the period of
seventeen pounds per cow per dav,
we have a total of 1889 lbs. of
milk. If, as the experiment indi-
Gated, this yield of milk was 1913 per
cent greater than could have been
produced from the same dry matter
in the form of dried fodder, there
was a gain of 1882 lbs. of milk
which at one and one-half cents pei
pound, which was the price which
could have been received for the
milk at wholesale ttbe milk was
sold at retaiD would have amounted
to $192.33. Assuming that only one
cent. per pound could have been Sc
cured, which is propably nearer the
actual price received from Novem
Der to April in districts distant from
the city, the increase would have
amounted to $l28.22; deducting from
this the $l0.92, representing the
greater cost of storing the silage
and we have difference on the
basis of one and one-half cents pei
pound of $1Sl.4l, and on the basis o
one cent per pound, $ll7.30, which
shows the increased value of thu
corn crop on twelve acres (nearly $lI
per acre on the basis of one cent pei
pound) when fed in the form o
silage rather than in the form o
dried fodder"
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-10-29

Small flocks of sheep do better
than large ones 80 is about the num-
Der which may be handled with the
best success upon an ordinary farm,
where the range is limited to a few
acres.
Hogs furnish one of the best
means for marketing the bulky
products of the farm in concentrated
shape, as they do not take much
time in Transforming them. This is
one reason why the hog has been
called the poor mans stock.
1t is well to care for mares in fOal
during the winter, but there is such
thing as coddling them too much
and making them tender. The foal
will require just about the same
treatment as the mother has re-
ceived. A sheltered place, with
privilege to run out and in, is better
than close confinement in warm,
close stable.
Soaked oats promote growth in
young pigs very rapidly, but they
are rather expensive food, and We
should observe the results closely a:
we go along. We do not care to
raise any stock for market which
will not pay for its feed.
The business of the dairyman
does not begin and end with the
care of the cows, but reaches into
every detail of farm management
A dairy farm should become one
which is usually productive.
1t is poor care, and not hare
work, which usually wears out Oul
horses. Race horses are good wher
much past the time of lire at which
our farm horses are worn out. The
whole secret is in the care he re
ceives.
The farmer who centers his hope
in cattle and grass will have much
more even and satisfactory course
before him than one who depend
mainly on grain. 1t is certain h
will not find it so difficult to keep vi
! his land.

Horticulture.

needed will be almost sure 30 follow.
Suckers which come up around
the raspberries or between the rows,
make good plants if carefully dug
and a portion of the cross root re-
tanned.
Have you a sick young tree in the
orchard? Grub it out and plant a
new one that is healthy. Fall is a
good time for that, for if you do not
get the job done now it won't get
done at all.
This is the season of the yeaI
