or the animal will die, and it is al
ways the larger part of what an
animal will consume, even when
literally fed.
In many cases, especially when
there is plenty Of roughness, the
purchase of bran, ship-tuff and lin
seed meal may be all that is neces-
sary. A combination of these with
almost any kind of clean, sound
roughness is all that will be needed
to keep cattle, horses and sheep in
good growing condition.
One advantage in buying and
using these materials is that in ad
diion to being good foods for stock /,
especially with roughness, they will
add nearly or quite their cost in
value to the manure heap.

FOR THE FARMER.
Keep the stock Thrifty Now.

From now on until Spring fully
opens aud grass has made growth
enough for pasturage is the most
difficult time to keep stock in thrifty
condition. The supply of feed gen.
orally begins to get low Some vari-
cites are exhausted, So that there
is less opportunity of supplying the
needed variety. Then the stock,
being on dry feed for a long season,
need variety more than at any
other time.
And yet it does not pay to let the
stock run down at this time. In
fact, in most cases, it is better to
buy feed than to let the stock run
down in condition.
1t costs double to make up for
lost growth or gain, which adds to
the cost without any return. Under
present conditions, with all kinds
of stock, especially those bred and
fed for meat, the best profit is pos
sible only when quick growth and
early maturity are secured. The
stock should be kept in such con-
dition during growth that when ma
tured only a short feeding with
full fattemng ration is all that will
be necessary to make the animals
ready for market.
Then if the stock is kept thrifty
during the Winter and until grass
starts it will be in much better con-
dition to make the best growth on
the Spring pastures. With all grow
ing stock the best gain at the least
cost is secured from good pasturage
during the Spring and early Sum-
mer.
But if the stock must have good
part of the grass season to make up
for what was lost during the latter
part Of the Winter and in early
Spring the best gain is impossible;
the loss more than overbalances the
small saving in feed.
With all stock a certain quantity
of food daily is required to sustain
life. This much must he supplied

Make low nest for the large fowls.
Many diseases may be laid to
cold and wet.
For the early Spring setting nine
eggs are enough.
Feeding of sour milk will disturb
the digestive organs.
Rough legs are tolerably sure
sign of age in a fowl.
Generally fowls get lighter in
color as they grow older.
Hens are generally early risers;
be ready to feed them accordingly.
Having too many fowls to run
and roost together causes trouble.
Each hen should have a foot of
room on the roost.
Clean the vessels thoroughly
every time before giving water to
the fowls.
Sprinkle the eggs when set for
Matching, with Il little sulphur.
One rooster to every II hens is a
good rule, when Matching is an item.
Burning the nest is a sure cure
