GRASS AND GRAIN.

have always believed that we farm
ers feed too much hay to our horses.
Certainly We feed twice as much as our
friends in the city, and only about half
as much grain as horse owners in the
city feed. says J. A. Macdonald, in Coun-
try Gentleman. Since June 1 1 have been
feeding my horses by a novel method,
which find eminently satisfactory. At
the end of May this year l found myself
without hay for my horses, and large
amount of work to do. 1 could procure
hay from some of my neighbours, but of
very poor quality. This kind of hay I
did not want.
Up to this time the grass pasture was
very poor, but along toward June it be-
gan to be fair. therefore decided to get
along without hay and depend entirely on
pasture and grain. On the evening of
June 1 turned my work horses to pas
ture. In the morning l took them and
gave them feed of oats and BRAN about
five quarts per horse. This is all they
got for breakfast, In addition to what
grass they had eaten. AT noon they were
fed no hay, only feed of oats and bran
six quarts per animal, and nothing else
AT o'clock, as usual with us, we took
them up for tea, Watered them, and fed
another feed of oats. At shutdown, when
we knocked 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 dur
ing the day. AS a result my horses are
doing splendidly and gaining all the time.
l am greatly pleased with this method
or feeding horses-hay or pasture during
the night and grain during the day.

SUNLIGHT FOR YOUNG PIGS,

RUSSIAN FINANCES.
Official Figures Given Out to Offset
Stories in Circulation

WASHINGTON, Dec. I'm. Rout-
owsky, the agent of the ministry Of
finance of Russia, in Washington, in a
communication which has received the
approval of the Russian ambassador,
complains Of the attempts, which, he
said, were made in Europe recently, to
create i'll this country the impression that
the relations between the governments of
Japan and Russia were strained.
Immediately after these statements
had been authoritatively denied by the
Russian ambassador and the japanese
minister here says NJ Routowsky
presumably at Berlin, and directed
against the credit Of the Russian empire
These were followed by ibeIs direct
ell against the eminent statesman to
whose care was intrusted the credit, and
appeal made to Japan, in an article on
Russian finances, to attack that country
before her trans-Siberian railroad could
be completed"
NJ. Routowsl1y adds that, in view of the
fact that all of these false rumors and
misstatements, If not exposed, might
leave among capitalists and hnanciers in
this country On erroneous impression, he
has decided to give to the press some
figures on the subject These figures
show that during the twelve years from
1887 to 1898 the ordinary revenues of the
Russian government steadily increased

NEW DEMAND FOR CORN.

TO GET RID OF RATS.

To the Gazette.-In one of your late
issues I noticed that a writer wished to
find some way to rid his place of rats
when poison and traps failed. The sure
cure is to invest s. in a thoroughbred fox
terrier puppy, that when full-grown will
go under the buildings and clean out the
rats and mice. No skunk, weasel mink
or anything that is poultry pest will
stay on a place where one of these dogs
are. They are also of great value on a
farm to kill gophers, Woodchucks, mea-
dow mOles and Held mice; the fox terrier
will dig and hunt all day to get at them.

SOUP STOCK.

Soup is the prelude of dinner: it is a
healthful and stimulating food, agreeing
with almost every one. The foundation
of all soups Is stock; therefore ones whole
attention should be borne on this article
There are two kinds of soups clear and
thick; the garnishing for these are either
composed of vegetables cut into fancy
shapes, or purees of vegetables; creams of
game. or poultry, eggs. fish, quennelles,
etc. In order TO obtain a good stock It
is essential to procure meat from freshly
killed animals. Albumen abounds in the
blood, and it is found in every part of the
flesh; it coagulates after being dissolved
and in broth forms what Is called scum
rising to the surface of liquids In which
meats are cooked The less blood the
animal has lost the more albumen there
is and as the blood contains much osma-
