Cooking Food for Hogs.

Winter always brings inquiries about
the proGtablenese Of buying feed cook
ers or steamers for cooking food for
hogs. The ACCESSIBILITY of it depends
much upon conditions and the mater
ials TO be fed. If there is O good shell.
ter where milk and swill can be kept
ftom freezing it may not pay, espe-
cially if fuel is q money consideration.
Another consideration is the kind of
hogs TO be fed. If lot of shotes well
advanced is to be marketed in Deem
Der or January it would hardly pay to
cook food. The main ration would be
corn, they having received their swill
and mixed rations before feeding corn.
But when wintering a lot of brood
sows, young and old, or a lot of fall
pigs to be marketed in May or June,
there is a great advantage in cooking
or heating food. When one has q well
arranged hoghouse, where all is under
shelter, it will add much to the com.

in feeding, for there will be no snow
and ice troughs to be contended with,
adding to the comfort and thrift of the
hogs. Then such feed as cut clover
hay and ground grains can be cooked
or warmed at a profit. Milk, not a
small item nowadays in winter dairy
districts, can be warmed and added be-
fore feeding. Frozen or cold milk in
large quantities is an unnatural food
for hogs, while warmed it is ideal
when mixed with ground grains.
Then again, in years like this, when
potatoes are so low priced that it does
not pay to haul them any distance tc
market, if thoroughly cooked and grair
mixed with them, will give a variety
that is essential to brood soWs anc
growing pigs. Such ration is a pro
moter of digestion and good health.
Again, if sows are to farrow il
March or the forepart of April, thel
warm food and shelter will save man,
a litter, and richly pay cost of a heat
ing apparatus. - Farm, Stock an,

acids. Just on the moisture point we
should bear in mind that rich soil in
easily soluble material will suffer less
in drouth than poor soil, for the
plants will not require so much water
if that water ia rich in nourishment
and they will do better, for teaspoon
full of fluid beef in cup of water has
as much strengthening power as the
same amount in gallon, with the
further benefit of less strain on the
system.

of clovering for nitrogen the timely

that peas and vetches are quite as sue
cessful agents for obtaining nitrogen

phosphate to develop the nitrogen

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the

that clover would respond to an appli-

The MaIlein Test for Chambers.

Professor McColl, Professor of the
Veterinary College of Glasgow, in re-
porting to the local authority of Glas-
gov (under the diaeases of Animals
acD states; son August 13 seventy
seven horses were tested by me at
Maryhill, and of the number ten were
declared by the mallein test to be the
victims of CHAMBERS; but after the test
had been applied objections were TAX
en- to the slaughter of the animals I'M
til they exhibited clinical symptoms of
being glandered. An arrangement,
however, was come to that the ten ami
mails should remain in the stables in
isolation for three weeks, and on the
expiration of that period that 1 should
retest them. This was accordingly
carried out, and on September l re-
ported that six of the ten horses which
formerly reacted had failed to do 80.
Under these circumstances, and with
the approval.of the local authority, per-
mission was granted for the six horses
which had not reacted to return to
work. On October 6 nine of the ten
horses referred to were for the third
time subjected to the mallein test,
with the result that none of them re-
acted, and, consequently, they were all
returned to work. The tenth horse
was not retested, as he was laboring
under cold and his temperature was
too high, but he was one of the ami
mails that did not react sn September
6. On November all the ten horses
were again subjected to the malein
test, and, having given no reaction,
they were again returned to work.
Finally, en- December.2, the same ten
horses, for the fifth time, were again
subjected to the mallein test, and gave
no reaction, and, consequently, are
now at their work, and to all outward
appearance in perfect health"

AGRICULTURAL.
Keep Cows Warm.


AT Walton, N. Y, farmer told how
he fed and cared for his cows, and he
closed by saying that with all his care
he was unable to get as much milk
from COW as some others did. For
some reason he did not seem to get as
much as he thought he ought to. Cap
tain Hymers, Of De Lancy, was in the
audience. He is successful dairy.
man and a shrewd man, too. lie quiet.
ly said he could tell the friend one rea-
son at least why he did not get more
milk. The following is the substance
of what he said 81 was in your stable
yesterday morning looking around,
along about nine O'Clock. You were
not there, but l went around just the
same to see how you managed. Your
COWS were clean and we'll fed. They
were lying down comfortably. But the
doors were open, not only the small
doors opening into feeding alleys at the
heads of COWS, but the other doors Also
Now, it was pretty cold morning,
pretty sharp out doors. Your cows
were too cold to do their best giving
milk. You ought to have a thermome-
ter in there, but / didn't see any. Then
you ought to keep the doors shut when
it gets below 60 degrees. l keep my
own stable at about that temperature.
Cows that are chilled by contact with
cold air can never give full flow of
milk"
The farmer, who is evidently a first
class one, acknowledged that, ''per-
haps the boys were little careless that
morning" but he said manure never
froze in the staple except occasionally
near the doors. But it was the opin-
ion Of experts there that that wasn't
enough; that there should be Their
mometer in the stable, and the COWS
should always be kept warm. This
was a joint meeting of the Delaware
County Dairymen's Association and
the Institute. 1t is a noted dairy Sec
ton, and you have above the best adj
vice Of experts in this section. You
can put fat on a steer when he is ex-
posed to the cold if you feed corn
enough, but you simply cannot make a
COW give full flow of milk, no matter
how well you feed her, unless she is
kept comfortably warm. You might
feed the COW on corn as you would the
steer, so she could keep herself warm,
but then she would dry up and fatten.
Many readers of these pages can
doubtless get more milk from their
COWS by careful attention to this point.
Keep the COWS warm. Don't turn
them out in the cold; don't give them
ice water to drink. Let them have
freshly pumped water, or water not
colder that this, and they will give
more milk if they get it in the stable.
And still, if you intend to raise the
calves it is not best to confne them in
the warm stable all the time. You can
let them out little when the weather
is mild and comfortable. Even this
may decrease the milk yield slightly,
but it keeps up vitality. See that the
"boys are not a little careless" about
leaving doors open. Watchful care
pays. It. B. Tory, in Practical
Farmer.
