FEEDING FOR PROFIT.
The Greatest Care and Judgment Are
Necessary In Starting Cattle on
+~, Corn Diet.

In handling cattle be gentle with
them. Don't brighten. them. Remem-
Der that you are in partnership with
your steers in the beef business, and
partners should be on good terms
with each other. The greatest care
should he taken in starting on corn.
Give plenty of hay and stover (corn
stalks) and few ears of corn at each
feeding twice day. Increase the corn
gets his share. It is best to take about
three weeks to get them on full feed.
Corn fodder with. ears on) is good to
give them at first. Scatter it over the
ground. But this is not practical ex-
cept for small bunch. Feed regularly
twice day and always go an hour be-
fore feeding time and clean out the
managers. If the corn is not too large
and hard it may be fed with shucks on,
breaking the ears. Big, heavy, solid
ears should be shelled. Crushing cob
and grain is some advantage, but may
not pay for the expense. If you feed
cob meal, always feed some ear corn
also. Give steers their choice. I
find that it pays to feed clover hay to
beef cattle. Nice corn fodder is splen-
did also. Water regularly and album
dainty. Remember that about one
half of the gain you put on consists of
water and it is about the cheapest food
you can give. If you have plenty of
hogs to take up the waste you can
feed to better advantage. During the
last 80 days of the feeding period, give
oilcake or cottonseed meal five pounds
a day to each steer. 1t will give a nice
bloom to their coats. Don't start in
to feed thin lot of steers on full grain
ration. Corn is poor muscle maker.
It is better to produce muscle on
grass, fodder, and other cheaper feeds
and do the finishing with corn. Nine
ty days ought to be long enough on full
corn feed.-Orange Judd Farmer.

TIMELY HORSE TALK.

Oats, wheat bran and flaxseed meal
is a good ration.
Do not use an unsound mare for
breeding, nor one that is naturally Vi
cious.
It will pay to breed mules; they must
be large. Size counts the same as it
does in horses.
In breeding give the cheap scrub the
60 by - yea have lost enough by pat
ronizing him.
You want your horses not only in
good condition, but you want them
able to work and keep in good condi-
ton. This can only be done by giving
them proper exercise during the fit
ting.
Carefully wash and clean every har-
ness before the mud and the spring
rains. Repair or replace weak straps
and oil thoroughly. A harness will
last just twice as long if kept clean
and well oiled.-Farm Journal.

it is laid. Put it in green, when it comes
from the mill. If perfectly dried and
seasoned the floor will be so close that
moisture, will swell the planks until
they warp. Use the green plank and
all this will be avoided.
a drop floor in the rear of the stable,
to aid in clearing out manure, is a great
convenience. 1t saves much tiresome
proddins with the fork against lift
ting, uneven edges of plank. In H.
foot stable, which is amply large, this
drop should be 4 feet wide. This leaves
10 feet for stall and manager. With a
scoop-shovel and the drop arrange

One mistake that is often made in
planking a stable floor is to incline the
plank from the manger back. A slight
incline is possibly proper, but much OF
a fall backward compels the animals
to stand continually with stretched
tendons and is an injury to them. |

a great deal of fodder during winter,
and in my barn, just completed last
season, [ have the managers feet wide
in bottom and 31s feet at top. They
are 80 inches deep next to feeding floor,
and several inches higher next to the
animal, as is shown in illustration.
These managers flare out both ways,
as shown, and I think are the ideal in
which to feed fodder. The objection.
able feature in feeding whole fodder in
the barn is that the horses usually
work the coarse material under their
feet and make the cleaning out of ma
nure very laborious, but I find with
the wide Manager, low and fared in
front, the coarse material is worked
out into the barn floor, and can easily
be carried into the barnyard, where the
cattle pick over the small waste.

Keeping the ERgs Clean.

1t ought to be self-evident that all
filth of every kind should be removed
from the hens nest, and on no &C.
count should one be allowed beneath
the roosts where the hens remain on
their perch through the night. Fowls
always pass their excrement once or
twice, if not oftener, during the
night, and this falling into hens
nest will inevitably soil the nest and
the eggs. This is bad for the hens,
for it soils their feathers, but it is
still worse for the eggs, which have
porous shells, through which foul
odors pass and spoil the egg. The evil
is worst in hot wether, as the effluvia
destroys the life in the germ of the
egg, and if the egg is to be eaten it
does not make it more appetizing to
know that it's porous shell has been
in contact with filth. Therefore buy
ers of eggs should look to the shells,
and reject those that are dirty or
that show signs that they have been

Pure Breeds as Layera.

1t is no question of fad, but a COM
mercial fact, that the pure breeds lay
as we'll, they fatten as we'll, as the
mongrels, and the contingent chances
of profit in extra prices obtained for
pure breeds gives them the decided
advantage. First crosses with pure
breeds may actually give higher av-
erages in egg production for the sea-
son, but one has to set against this
advantage the breeding losses in the
second season. 1t pays best to keep
to purity, and breed amongst your
pure breeds for the best layers, or
table birds, whichever may be your
particular object. So many breeders
have no object. They do not much
care either way. To such, of course,
we have nothing to say.-:Rural World

About Sowing Mixed Grasses,

When mixed grasses are to be sown
with the hope of harvesting a future
hay crop, care should be taken that
the grasses sown mature at about the
same time. It would not be good
plan to SOW timothy and orchard grass
together, because one natures several
weeks earlier than the other. If the
grass is cut when the timothy is too
mature the orchard grass will be too
far gone to make good hay, while if
the mixture is cut at the time the or
chard grass is mature the timothy will
be too green to cure well, besides be-
ing deficient in nutriment. A man be-
fore sowing mixed grasses for hay
should study the tables that show at
what periods these grasses ripen.-

Cleanliness in Feeding,

It was once supposed that the best
mode of feeding was to throw the
soft food in dirt, as the more dirt
a hen could eat the better, but this
has been found delusion. Hens can
eat all the dirt they wish without
having it forced on them. Many dis
eases are induced by compelling the
hens to eat mixture of food and
filth, and all feeding places should
therefore be kept very clean, as filth
is not always discernible and may be
present in decayeds condition. The
better plan is to feed on boards, or
in troughs, and clean them daily

In a study of the grain aphis, lady

fall in search Of the aphis and TO pass
