Professor w. Fl. Jordan, director Of
the New York State Experiment Station,
discussed the subject Of "Cattle Foods"
He told how our cattle foods have been
adulterated, 90 that some OF them are
sold for several times their cost. The
oat feeds have been adulterated to q
large extent. Large quantities Of oats
are used In making the breakfast foods.
The hulls are sold for small price
to dealers In cattle foods, who mix them
with cornmeal and sell them for oat
feeds. The fibre of these oat hulls is 90
indigestible that it has little value. 1t
has been the custom to take out the oil
from the corn food and sell it for maxi
ing paints, and then to sell the grain
without the oil at about the price OF
whole corn. There are also the patent
cattle foods which are sold at the rate Of
Sl5O, or more, per ton. These foods are
mostly composed Of inseed meal, char
coal, salt, saltpetre and sulphur. The
whole cost of these foods is only two or
three cents Q pound, and they are some
times sold for Is cents pound. This
gives the manufacturer large profit.
The pure food law which has recently
been enacted in New York DOW compels
all dealers to furnish . guaranteed
analysis Of all mixed feeds.
Professor Jordan, In reply to . ques-
tion, said the experiment station could
not undertake 70 analyze al samples Of
foods kept by farmers, - they had not
the help 70 do the work. This work be
did not consider necessary, for the rea-
son that he had obtained samples OF
nearly all the different mixed feeds sold,
and be could furnish their analyses Il
applied for.

WAS much interested In the letter
from Frank Leslie about wire nails,
drawn out by the bsrn-roofing prize ar
ticles. did not suppose there WAS any
where now dealer who, knowing the
facts, would be mean enough to sell wire
nails for shiugling. In this climate IL
would be the exception to the general
rule for wire shingle nail to last eight
years. Houses where they have been
used have had TO be all nailed over In
much less time than that. l mean q
carpenter has been hired 70 90 over the
entire roof and nail every shingle. One
carpenter told me, however, that 1t
would be enough TO nail every other
row. About ten years ago We had our
long stable shingled. We knew nothing
about nails, and the carpenters used
wire ones. The shingles have been start
ing for some years and two years ago
they began TO blow of In every gale.
The shingles are very good, looking, on
the ends that were covered, almost like
new. We hsd the roof patched here and
there two years ago and some mailing
done; all this year the shingles have
been blowing off dreadfully, and down
near the edge of the roof, which has a
very good pitch, on the southeast corner,
there is , place yard square that has
hardly shingle. One shingle goes and
then all the others near by lift up and
twist around, and the next gale the yard
Is covered with shingles. Besides the
large patch are many smaller ones.
We let this barn two years ago at q
very low rate 10 tenant who agreed to
make all minor repairs; he has promised
repeatedly to attend to this shingling
but he does not do IL, though l have Of
fered to provide the shingles and nails.
A month ago Ii would not have been
half the work II will be now.
Almost Is years ago we had our very
large house, over so feet long, shingled.
Common nails were used, and not one
shingle has ever blown off though they
are beginning 10 places TO look very soft
and old. The stable, as you may see,
leaks dreadfully on the bare corner,
which Is over the stairs only. The
house does not leak drop.
think with your correspondent that
wire nails are q regular swindle. l also
think dealer who, knowing the facts,
would sell them for shingling Is cheat,
for no decent carpenter for five years
and more in this part Of the country
even thought Of using wire nails for
shingling.
You see the wire nail question Is q
sore point with me. Our big barn with
three stalls and carriage. room for three
or four carriages Is Of no earthly use to
US and the rent is not enough to pay the
taxes and insurance, and As far as we
are concerned we might as we'll let the
building alone. II we shingle the whole
roof II will cost US $50 at the least. II
old-fsshioned shingle nails had been
used the barn would have been In very
good repair. 1t Is unpleasant to see
buildings out of repair, and not have the
money to repair them. We prefer fol
several reasons to have this barn lei

POTATOES AS A STOCK FOOD.
