One Way to Feed Dairy Cattle.

The feeding of dairy cows is SUBJ
Ject well worthy Of consideration at
all times of the year. AS rule, dairy
men will do best, in my way of think
ing, to have COWS come fresh in milk
only few days or weeks before GO
ing on grass. The udder is then re-
lieved of its soreness, if any, before
they are forced to their greatest capac-
lty. A cow fed sufficiently with a
balanced ration composed of coarse
foods almost entirely, if not wholly,
while dry, then put upon grain and
soon going to pasture, will reach her
limit. Then strive to hold her there
by succulent feeds, Offering such be-
fore the pastures begin to show the
effects of close grazing. Watch the
yield and make changes by having
little land devoted to some kinds of
crops which they will relish. Strive
to satisfy by plentiful feeding, and the
COW suitable for the dairy will very
literally respond.
Rye, clover and green oats will
agreeably supply until corn is ready.
L run everything through the cut
ter before feeding, because they take
hold more literally and eat more than
if uncut, which therefore meets the
intention and causes most liberal flow
of milk.
Pumpkins are excellent in the fall,
and will please the cows taste after a
trial of light feeding, and will supply
the characteristic of good milk flow
for many weeks, if housed before
heavy frosts come and the crop is
sorted at storing time and perhaps
later sorted again, which will pay if
quantity holds out
Late planted corn, which will be but
well tasseled by the last of August,
thereby containing a large quantity Of
succulence until we'll into the winter,
if cut and put into large shocks be-
fore frost will be very profitable in
vestment in labor, as all lend little
toward keeping up flow of milk until
the cows need be dried again, about
two months before coming fresh. H.
M. Culbertson, in Western Rural.

Judging Sheen.

1t requires familiarity with sheep
to enable one to Judge beneath its coat
OF wool whether it is fat or in poor
condition. An experienced shepherd
will not only know the various sheep
in his flock by differences in their
faces, but he can also tell by the looks
of the sheep what age it is, and
whether it is in thrifty or unthrifty
condition. Yet to most people flock
of sheep presents no individual pc.
cuIiarities.

Work-Horses in Haying Time.

1t is common experience on the
farm that the horses lose flesh rapidly
when used for any length of time in
the hay field. The haying season
gives, on many farms, from four to six
weeks of this work. Moving and rak-
ing hay is, Of course, hard work on
horses-especially if the fields are
somewhat hilly, but it is not SO much
the hard work that takes the flesh from
horses in haying time as it is the want
of proper care and the injudicious care
that is given them at this season.
Many farmers work their horses dur
ing the day, feed on corn and hay,
then at night turn them out to past
ure, because the horses enjoy it so
much" The grass loosens the bowels,
weakening the animals, disarranging
their digestion, and making hard work
tell heavily upon them.
Again, horses come in from work
covered with persp!ration. which dries
upon them. Very few farm horses get
the grooming that they need to keep
their skin in a healthy condition. Few
realize how much proper grooming
tends to keep horse in good flesh,
and grooming is specially important
during the hard work of summer, be-
cause of the great amount of perspira-
tion. Keep the horses on hay and
good sound grain; keep them we'll
groomed, with comfortable bed at
night, and if they are not fretted need
lessly by their drivers during work
hours, they will do vast amount of
hard work without losing flesh.
