Oats for Feeding.

Oats for feeding should have an
agreeable smell. clean. smooth and
bright appearance, and pleasant taste:
should feel dry, hard and elastic to the
touch when broken between the
teeth, and should be fairly well sup
piled with -four. says National Stock
man. The fact that they fulfill these
conditions will show that they have
been well saved are sufficiently old,
possess a due amount of nutriment,
and have not suffered from injurious
influences, such as damp and mould,
as would be evident if they were musty
in smell and dull in color. The pres
ence of dust in oats proves that they
have been badly saved, and that their
quality has undergone more or less de-
terioration. A shriveled-up condition
Is also sign of inferiority. With a
plump variety of oats, If the grains
feel heavy in the hand, rattle more or
less like shot when poured out. re-
bound when they fall on wood or other
hard objects, and show no tendency
to stick together, our good opinion OF
their nutritive value and sound condi-
ton will be still further confirmed.
The plumper, more rounded, and heav-
Ter oats are, the higher will be their
market value. Thinness of husk will
also enhance the price as rule. The
cost of white oats, probably on account
of their cleaner and more pleasing APP
pearance, is higher than that of either
at about Is per cent more than new
oats. The term "old" is applied 20 oats

threShed.

The Fault of Overlooking.

One OF the causes assigned by those
who feed several times a day Is that
the birds are always hungry, and i'm
mediately run to the attendant for
more as soon as he puts in an appear
ance, says Poultry Keeper This is q
habit on the part OF the fowls. They
are not at all hungry on such occa-
sions, but have learned to look to
their owner for everything they re-
ceive. consequently they will always
run to him when he appears. Such
hens seldom lay as many eggs as they
should. are usually very fat, and cost
more for feed than they deserve. The
way to treat them Is to scatter table
spoonful Of millet seed for them to
scratch. The seeds being small. and
being delicacies to all fowls. will be
highly relished. and the hens will
work industriously for them, thus TAX
ing exercise as well as keeping them
selves in better laying condition. The
greatest inducement to overlooking Is
to find the hens hungry. but 1t Is best
not to be deceived by appearance.

Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
More Than Doubled Their Stock.
The following letter. written by Mr.
John Cummings OF Wetaskiwin, Al
berta, Canada. formerly OF Washing
ton. to a friend In the United States,
Is only one of hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings

Dear Sir: You want 10 know how I

Alberta. / am happy to inform you
that am not ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash.
on the 29th day Of May, driving all the
way. We had time to build our
log house the first fall. and to make
us comfortable for the family and
stock. We then built four stables, 1Sx
20 inside, so that We could put every
thing inside them when the cold got
down to the fifties, and worked hard
getting up the stables, and got through
clubbing on the 1st Of December; but,
10 our we udO uO use us
stables only for the milk COW and two
spans of horses. The balance OF the
horses lived on the prairie all winter.
and took care Of themselves. The doors
of two stables were left open for them
to 60 into in a cold time, but they
would not do 1t. but stayed out on the
prairie the coolest night we had and
looked as spry as crickets.

My son bought two pounds OF Irvine

It was taking nearly five pounds. Then
you ought to have seen him hitch up a

more. I cannot say how it will thresh.
All l can say is that 1t Is well-headed,
and takes an enormous amount of

Sorghum as Feed.

This is my first year Of feeding sor-
ghum, and l find 1t splendid feed for
all kinds OF stock, and with forty
years experience in raising different
kinds of feed, l have found nothing
that will give so large an amount OF
feed to the acre, says contributor to
Home and Farm. Pastures were short,
and l began feeding it to my cows
in August, cut and fed on the
grass in the pasture. / never had my
cows do better. / grew two acres and
cut and cured what was left, and am
now feeding 1t to my cows and horses.
l sold litter of Durock pigs the first Of
November that were 1872 days old and
weighed 1876 pounds average, little
over a pound a day from birth.
These pigs were weaned July !, and
fed nothing but SKINNED milk from
the creamery and sorghum for two
months, and then were put on full
corn feed with what sorghum they
would eat till November 10. when they
were sold.

the animals lead an outdoor life oil

In tho Butter Exhibition Room.

At one of the recent western dairy
conventions the air of the room in
which the exhibit butter was scored
smelled so strongly Of pine that 1t
was difficult to catch the delicate flavor
of the butter, says writer in New
York Produce Review. 1t had been
raining for two or three days, and In
order to prevent the tracking OF mud
into the butter room the officers in
charge OF the exhibit had scattered
coarse pine sawdust and chips on the
floor. The pungent odor OF the pine
filled the room. 1t was perhaps a
thoughtless mistake, but under no cir
cumstance should anything be allowed
in the butter room that has foreign
flavor. The floor should be thorough
ly cleaned, the ventilation should be
good before the butter is exhibited; and
the Judge should be supplied with
plenty OF paper with which to clean
his trier rather than to use sawdust
for that purpose.

Look Out for the Buii.

A breeder of Jersey cattle told us
this week that, notwithstanding the
bad reputation which Jersey bulls
have, they will never become ugly I'M
less they are unkindly treated, says
an exchange. We are inclined to take
issue with this statement While 1t is
no doubt true that Feasibility and ug-
illness of temper are often provoked
by improper usage and treatment, we
still believe that these periodical and
unlocked for outbreaks of temper on
the part OF the bull. whether Jersey
or any other breed, are a natural out
growth OF the peculiar instincts OF the
animal and not to be absolutely pre-
vented by kind treatment. The bull In
his native wilds Is a fighter from his
youth up and only holds his position
at the head of his herd by virtue OF his
superior fighting ability. When dis
placed by a younger and stronger RI
val or when whipped out In contest
for leadership, such bulls will always
wander off by themselves and when
met are always ugly and ready to
fight. In the old buffalo days we have
frequently seen these outcasts OF the
herd by themselves. and it was always
best to let them alone unless one
wanted a scrap Our own experience
with these animals justifies us in the
statement that plenty of good hard
work for the bull Is the best possible
preventive for this disposition on his
part to be ugly. Most bulls are either
pampered too much or are Isolated and
deprived Of needed exercise and so de-
velop this ugly streak. when II they
had lots of hard work to do they would
be better natured and far more SER
viceable In the herd. The bull and
the tread power were made for each
other and should be set to work on
every farm where bull is kept This
