The kind of hay and its condition when
stored.
| suggest that your correspondent
build II barn 40 by 60 feet and "a foot
posts. 1t will be convenient TO place
the bcnts 12 feet apart. The cheapest
snd strongest construction for the en-
tire frame will be of 2 by 6 and by s
planks, spiked soldly together.
The accompanying sketch will indi-
e.ate how the interior bents arc con-
structed. This method of framing is
peculiarly adapted to hay barns. The
entire floor space Is left free and no
posts or beams interfere with the work
ing of the horse hay fork or sings. 1t
will be convenient to provide wide doors
so that hay wagons can be driven into
the barn when being filed or for shelter
sor wagons, etc, when bays are empty.
These driveways may be filled with hay
after the other bays in barn are all full.
There should be large doors in each
gable FOR the hay fork or sings. The
siding for this barn can be of second
grade material. The roof should be
built of good, durable material, shingle,
rlate or iron. BY all means your cor
respondent should have track in the
gable running the entire length of barn
upon which is to run hay car carry
ing hay from the load by fork or sling.
There are many outfits now sold which
are very cheap and efficient and their
use in handling 100 tons of hay will
more than pay for the outfit in one sea.

knoll is better than straw. A clover
field is the best pasture.
As pigs increase in age it may be well
to increase slightly the proportion of
corn In order to make the ration q little
more carbonaceous toward the finish
ing period.
Breed, feed, fatten and market the
hogs young, and turn off two crops n
year rather than one every two years,
as was the old custom. A good clover
field helps in this wonderfully, and in il

FEEDING EAR CORN.
The New Jersey Experiment STATEN
Proves Unwisdom OF the Practice
by Eloquent Figures.

The practice of feeding ear-corn to
cattle is very widespread. The impres
sion seems TO be that what is lost in
the unused corn is made up in the sav
ing in labor and expense Of grinding
The practice of having hogs "follow'
cattle Originated in desire to make
good part of this loss. The practice,
however, Is not one that commends IT,
self to men that practice advanced
methods in feeding. Even in the cases
of men that have their cattle followed
by hogs in summer time, the same prac-
tice of feeding corn on the cob is con-
tinued during the winter and during all
other times, when the loss cannot GER
tainly be made good by the hogs. Ex.
periments have demonstrated that the
loss of good feeding material by the
practice is very large. The New Jersey
experiment station recently made
some tests that were strongly demon.
strative of the unwisdom of this course.
One COW was fed ten pounds of corn on
the cob daily, of which 5.73 pounds APP
peared in the excrement, thus showing
that 57.3 per cent. went through the
stomachs of the COW without being af.
fected by the digestive processes. 1t
must be taken into consideration that
there is loss otherwise than of the 57.3
per cent. of corn, for the animal has
had TO use some force in the process of
passing this unused material through
the system. The station mentioned
figured out that in the case of COW Civ
ing milk the value of ton of corn and
cob meal was $9.3s more than tonoi
ear corn. OF course, from this must be
deducted the cost of huslting and grind
ing ton of corn. but this would seldom
exceed a half of the increased value
represented.-Farmers' Review.

SALT FOR STOCK.
Every Field Accessible to All
Kinds OF Animals,

Some experiments made in France
showed that stock having regular sup
ply of salt were more thrifty and made
better use of the feed they ate than
those deprived of salt for consider
able time.
Salt Is one of the necessities of animal
existence and even wild animals travel
long distances to seek salt in the shape
Of salt springs of brackish water. Salt
Is the great cleanser of the blood and
performs an important mission in ami
nal economy, and as il is very cheap it
should be supplied to all live stock in
liberal quantities.
A supply of salt should be kept in
every pasture field and accessible to the
animals at all times. The common Gus
tom of sailing stock once week is
avery poor way to supply the needs of
the stock. The strongest ones will get
enough, possibly, but the weaker ones,
and these are the ones that need it most,
will be kept back and never get full
supply. One of the best ways to supply
live stock with salt is to buy rock salt
and place slabs of it in places conven-
lent for the stock to get at it. The
weather has but little effect on it and
stock can get all they need by simply
sucking the salt slab.
To feed it to horses put piece in the
feed box where they can get it at any
time. This does not interfere with feed
ing the horses and at the same time a
little of the salt gets on all the grain
given them. Even pigs will lick. a block
OF rock salt, although n good many
people never think of sailing the pigs.
