Good Feeding and Good Breeding.

Good Feeding and Good Breeding.
Mr.. j. H. Miller says: I'm breed
ing pedigreed cattle for profit.
nothing short of the very best care you
can bestow should be thought of. In
the first place. well fed and highly de-
veloped animals are always attractive;
men who come to breeding barns ex-
pect to see something above the or
binary. 1t will not satisfy the average
buyer to be told all these cattle need

and the same care he gives his stock
1ll-kept and understood cattle can only
be sold to second and third-rate buy
ers; they will not command the prices
that bring gain to the breeder. The
lat, sleek cows are, silent statesmen Of
the breeding barns, more effective than
any speech the owner can make to
bring prospective buyers to the point
OF purchase. We hold, too, that quail
ity can be fed into cattle. as well az
bred into them. We believe that stock
that has been pushed to early maturi-
ty through several successive genera
tons by generous care will beget the
quality of early maturity in their or
spring: finally fixing it as a valuable
heredity in the family so treated. On
our farm We certainly do not allow our
cattle to 60 hungry. We grind all our
grain, corn, mixed bran, oats and other
foods with the corn to give needed va
riety and to the mixture we add q con-
siderable quantity of cut hay or straw

Feeding Buckwheat and Kaffr Corn.
Il find buckwheat one of the best
whole grain foods for hens. They new
er become cloyed on it, and it is .
great egg producing grain. In expert
ments made In feeding during the past
winter. where the evening feed had
been wholly of corn, found that the
substitution of buckwheat materially
increased the egg yield. Kaffir corn
is a grain that should receive more
attention from poultrymen. While its
nutritive value is about the same -
that of Indian corn, 1t is relished much
better by fowls, and seems to produce
more eggs. Where one raises his own
grain, prefer to feed both buckwheat
and Kafir corn, unthreshed, as work.
