There is II current opinion that ivy

This it does by means of its tiny roots

Mola..e. Cake far Cattle Feed.

Molasses Cake far Cattle Feed.
At a late session of the French Ns-
tional Agricultural Society, Paris, a
molasses cake was exhibited which, it
is said. had been used for cattle feed
with excellent effect. The cake is made
by a Parisian Mr.. A. vaury, the we'll
known maker of bread for the army.
Its manufacture consists in the boiling
of %nlolasses aud working it briskly with
mixture of corn -four aud bran. when 1t
is pressed into the ordinary form of a
cake and packed in bags for sale. The
proportions used are One-third mo-
lasses. one-third -four. one-third bran.
The suburban dairynlen claimed that
in the use Of this molasses cake there
are extra yield of milk and an increase
in proportion of butter fat. The prop

to ten pounds daily, which is not in

Time to Cut Timothy.

The pollen from timothy blossoms is
very irritating to horses when it is cut
in this stage. Hence the grass is left
until the seed has formed, by which
time the stalk becomes dry and of lit
tie feeding value. The very hest timo.
thy hay for horses is made when this
grass begins to send w its seed stalk.
But 1T has not the weight or substance
that Il later cutting will give. This is
one reason why timothy hay needs SO
much grain to be fed with it to make
it good feed for horses.

Farmers who slaughter four or more
hogs each year should have q lard
press. A considerable number do use
them, but very many do not. A good
press will last a lifetime or longer, and
during this period 1t will greatly in

Teaching Colts to Eat oat..

Wherever it is necessary, as it often
is, to work the mare while the colt is
unweaned it is usual to shut up the
colt in a box stall and without food or
drink. This is unnecessary cruelty. If
n little clover hay is placed where the
colt can nibble Mt it, he will soon learn
to eat hay, and if there is a box with
a few oats in it he will learn to eat
those also. This is the more important
because If the mare becomes heated
while working, the milk may become
injurious to the colt. The clover and
oats cannot do him any harm. When
n colt has learned to eat oats he car be
weaned from the dam without any
check to his growth. 1t is best in most
eases that the liking for oats should be
taught before the colt is weaned.
