THE SALT LAKE HERALD. MONDAY. JUNE "A, 1897.

pith is not expensive, farmers IN dis-
tricts where wheat is. not grove. may
find the pith bran a desirable substi-
tute for the wheat bran. which must
be shipped for considerable distance in
some places In a small way. farmers
might experiment and determine
whether there is any merit in this ar
ticle and thus be prepared TO consider
intelligently the claims of the manu-
facturer who Will soon be ready prob
ably TO sell them an imDlemenr for
hulling out this substance and grinding
it. We are inclined to think there Is
little in this claim, but we are willing
to pass this along as news for what 1t
is worth.
1t is TO be remembered. however. that
the average farm affords considerable
variety if there is only patient fore
thought to provide it. The corn field
will often furnish peas. pumpkins and
other varieties of. vegetables along with
the growing corn with little detrlment
to the corn itself. After the small
grain is removed from the ground. mil
let or corn NAV be sown for FORAGE
crop and as late as August first turnlpS
and some other root crops may yield
second returns after the small grain
sown in the spring has yielded its crop.
Where there is not an abundance of
permanent pasture, this may be added
which will furnish grazing in eariv
winter as well as in early spring, with
little detriment to the crop of grain
which may be harvested in early sum-
mer. The rye crop. in fact. if handled
properly. may be harvested early
enough to permit the following of
either millet or late corn, the latter for
soiling purposes in early. autumn and
10 be cut off and removed from The
ground as provender. in time to be fol-
lowed by winter wheat or rye again.
Many stockmen do not realize the
worth of roots and vegetables, and il is
only by patient and exhaustive expert
ence with such food that they VIII
prove this worth conclusively. For the
working horses and the dairy stock.
roots and vegetables are of peculiar ad
vantage in giving them a variety of
moist food which is a counterpart of
the cheap dry provender. so much of
which IS fed to the stock that is not
being fattened for market.
On the other hand. the fattening ami
mails need cooling variety Of food TO
counterfeit occasional bad influences of
rich and heating foods that are potent
for fattening purposes. One will be
surprised to note the invigorating eff
feet on the appetite of fattening ami
mails where a moderate allowance OF
roots, vegetables or ensilage is fur
nished along with the rich, carbonace-
Gus food at regular Intervals.
In the case of all the weanlings, it is
particularly important that they be
furnished cooling food in winter along
with the heavy grain food which is
called Cor to make the rapid growth
desirable and TO maintain the vigor
Of digestion which goes far TO promote
good health.
Care must also be exercised when the
youngsters are grazing on immature
grass that they have a liberal supply
of bright, dry hay to counterfeit anv
bad influences from too much moisture
in their food.
Colts, calves and lambs are always
benefited from their earliest age by
access to bright hay. NJ
