There is a gentleman in Chicago-and the

study of economies and who writes financial
editorials.
A few weeks ago the managing editor took
a vacation and the financial expert was left

managing editor, who wrote;

So the great financial expert hurried over
to the First national bank, in which he kept
his account, and asked for draft for $50 Ia
send to his friend. The bank officer gave
him paper to sign, and after giving direc

turned to his desk.
Two or three uneventful days passed, and
there came another letter from the managing
editor.

The Right Kind OF beef,

In regard to the kinds of beef which

a fat steer the buyer puts the value of
the steer when he stands in the mar

ness of steer that puts the highest
price upon him in the market, but il is

PIG PEN POINTERS.

Lice can be driven from hogs by ap.
plying kerosene or fish oil, with paint
brush.
Those small, unstable potatoes,
cooked, would make an excellent fat
tening food for the hogs.
Pigs need little or no bedding in
summer; a dry, shady knoll is far bet
ter than board straw bed.
1t is quite a remarkable fact that the
bite of pig is dangerous; although
comparatively rare, it takes much
longer time for such injuries to heal,
than those of the horse or dog. Keep .
safe distance between yourself and a
cross hog.

Of worms in hogs intestines at

turpentine would rid the hog of the

FEEDING FARM HORSES.
A Canadian Farmer Tells of n system
which Has Produced Very SAT-
isfnctOry Results.

| have always believed that we farm.
ers feed too much hay TO our horses
Certainly we feed fully twice as much
as our friends in the city. and only about
half as much grain as horse-owners in
the city feed. Since June 1, have been
feeding my horses by a novel method
which find eminently satisfactory. al
the end of May, this year, found my.
self without hay for my horses, and a
large amount of work TO do. / could
procure hay from some of my neigh
bors, but of very poor quality. This
kind of hay / did not want.
Up to this time the grass pasture was
very poor, but along toward June ii be.
gan TO be fair. ] therefore decided to
get along without hay. and depend en-
tirely on pasture and grain. On the
evening of June ], / turned my work
horses TO pasture. In the morning
took them up and gave them feed OF
oats and bran, about five quarts per
horse. That is all they got for break.
fast, in addition to what grass they had
eaten. AT noon they were fed no hay,
only a feed of oats and bran six
quarts per animal, and nothing else. At
four o'clock, as is usual with MS, we took
them up for tea, watered them and fed
another feed of oats. At shutdown, when
we knock off work, the horses were
turned out to pasture. This has been
and is still the "bill of fare" for my
horses-grass during the night, and
grain (about a half-bushel of oats, in
three feeds) during the day. As a re.
suit, my horses are doing splendidly
and gaining all the time.
! am greatly pleased with this method
of feeding horses-hay or pasture at
night, and grain during the day.. A.
