FEEDING MINK pRor1rABuY.

Milk is undoubtedly the best feed
for young stock of all kinds, but some
care is needed in feeding il to get the
best results. When taken IN the
natural way from the teat, the milk is
always warm, comes very slowly, and
is always mixed with some saliva from
the mouth which aids its digestion.
When milk is fed, except in very small
quantities, these conditions are re.
versed. How often have we seen an
entire pailful of skinned milk placed
before cali five or six weeks old. and
by 1t swallowed just as rapidly as the
milk can go down the animals throat.
Ii the milk is cold, as it often is, can
1t be wondered that the calf suffers
from scours? 1t is only the natural
effort to rid the stomach of a mass il
cannot digest. Milk should never be
the exclusive food of any except the
very youngest animals. Its difficulty
of digestion units it for being the
main food of animals that can eat any.
thing else. If for hogs it were always
fed sparingly with some grain, the
milk would produce much more pork
than the grain Will without the milk.
1t is an excellent supplement to corn
fed hogs, but grinding corn or oats
together or mixing bran or wheat
middllngs with corn meal will, in part,
take the place of milk by supplying
nitrogenous nutrition just as the milk
does Boston Cultivator.

CLEANING WINDOWS.

Every practical housekeeper seems

Have ready muslin bag full of
whiting, and two wash feathers. Dust
the glass thickly with the whiting.

Another excellent method of giving

GRAIN FoR POULTRY

Bulletin 106 tnew series) of tbe
Geneva IN. Y station gives results OF
some experimental tests OF the relative
value of whole grain and the same
ground, for poultry. Incidentally,
some other interesting results were
obtained.
1t was thought best to use both
large and small breeds in parallel ex.
periments; hence two pens of Buff
Cochins and two White Leghorns were
used.
The experiment extended over q
period of two years. The pen of Leg.
horns having good grain laid more
eggs the second year than the first :
while the other three pens fell off in
egg production for the second year.
From the following records it will
be seen that for the Cochins, whole
grain was best, and for Leghorns
ground grain was the best:
The Cochins having ground grain
consumed an average of 4-10 ounces
OF water-free food each per day, at a
cost OF SlO2 10 per hen per year.
and averaged 43I eggs weighing 95
4'IO ounces. For every pound of
eggs produced they consumed I3
pounds of water-free food at n cost of
II IL cents, or 26 cents per dozen.
Cost of food per hen. 81. O2 1-5; value
of eggs, 70 cents; lost on each hen.

The Cochins having whole grain ate
an average of 80 ounces day, and
laid an average of 63i eggs each. For
every pound of eggs produced they
ate 10 pounds of food costing Is cents
--l9 4 2 cents per dozen. Yearly cost
of food per hen, $1.O3 ID; value of
eggs laid, Sl.O5l; profit per hen,
nearly three cents.
The Leghorns having ground grain,
ate an average of 2 $40 ounces food
per day and laid SO eggs each, weigh.
ing 1874 1-07 ounces. For every
pound of eggs produced they ate ) I-3
pounds of food costing seven cents
nearly II cents per dozen. Cost of
feeding each hen a year, S4l cents (;
value OF eggs laid, 81. 49,; net profit
per hen, 49, cents.
The Leghorns fed on whole grain.
ate an average of ounces of food per
day, and produced II eggs each,
weighing l65 10 ounces. For one
pound of eggs produced they ate
g liz pounds of food costing s 1-l2
cents-l3 l-3 cents per dozen. Cost
OF food for each hen year, 95! cents /;
value of eggs laid, 81. .11}; net profit
per hen per year, 26 cents.
Allowing for the cost of hatchipp
and growing the pullets for these ex.
periments, those having whole grain
returned an average profit the first
year of AS per cent, and those fed
ground grain gave a profit of 6S per
cent.

You should manage not to keep q

If one would succeed intelligently
he must go to some trouble and expense
to get the use of the best sires, and
must not stand on few dollars extra

as to what filth is. Generally it emits

Strange Golden Meddlng

The somewhat strange and fanciful
idea OF celebrating the golden wedding
OF twopersons long since dead attracted
large congregation to Marylebone
parish church in England, the church
where, nifty years ago, Robert Brown

rled. The Very Rev. Dean Farrar, of
Canterbury, preached the sermon and
Mendelssohn's wedding march was
played. The invitations to the cere-
mony were adorned with pictures of

WheelOarrow Instead of Knapsack.

Major Padrin, Of the Italian army,
has invented a very ingenious con.
triyance which is designed TO super.
sede the knapsacil. He has invented
a vehicle to which he has given the
name OF the cyclosae, or the sack on
wheels. On this will be carried the
baggage of two soldiers, and the up.
rights OF the tent will be used to con.
vert it into q sort af wheelbarrow,
which the soldier can drag behind him
when ascending or push before him
when descending. The two soldiers
will take it turn about to push OF draw

this arrangement will not merely
enable the troops to march much
longer distances, but to fight much
better on the field OF battle, being re.
