FEEDING OUT FODDER CORN,

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer
This is the period of the season for
feeding green corn fodder to COWS,
as much depends on the manner In
which it is done.
Feed in such a manner that the
COWS will not have have to fight and
battle over their portion, while they
stamp half of it into the ground.
This generally happens where fodder
is daily cut and hauled to the barn
yard or pasture and scattered pro-
miscuously around. The cattle make
a greedy rush for it, and secure
about one-half the benefit therefrom
that they really should.
Iconsider that the most economical
and best way to feed corn fodder, is
to first cut it up if convenient, and
then feed from the manger in the
stable. Do not feed, however, when
the COWS are being MIXED, as the
feeding detracts from their attention
to the latter important process. L
had much rather see a COW content
eddy chewing her cud while being
MIXED than doing anything else. At
such a time her nervous system is
perfectly relaxed, and she is docile
and submissive to the hands of the
mixer. This means that she "gives
down" her milk freely, and it is of a
healthier quality than if yielded I'M
der excitement.
I have noted milk yielded under
the latter condition to faint very
quickly, becoming positively danger
Gus either as a food in a raw state,
or manufactured into butter or
cheese.
But to return more directly to u
original subject. Green corn fodder
should be depended on only as an
auxiliary food for milch cattle, to
help out waning pastures. The OBJ
ject should be to supplement with it
what is lacking in grazing advan-
tages, late in the summer and early
in the fall.
Given thus to well-noUrished COWS,
it is highly valuable in holding up a
milk yield that would otherwise sink
to the point of unproftableness.
To those who are so fortunate as
to possess silos and have fodder suffi-
Gent to fill them, I would earnestly
admonish to pack their green mate
in an air-tight shape. So much
poor ensilage is annually fed out
that in many quarters it has cast
discredit on the feeding of ensilage
at all. GEORGE E. NEWELL.

MAKES THE MILK RICHER"

A farmer on being asked why he
fed his COWS a certain ration replied,
Because it makes the milk richer"
But he was in error. If the COW has
been studied and experiments made
with rations of high fat content with
a view of augmenting the percentage
of butter fat in the milk, the results
being faithfully watched, an intelli-
gent dairyman or farmer will find
only the slightest difference in the
fat constituent of the milk from
year to year, and this irrespective of
the rations given to produce a differ
ence he will note, possibly, a vary
ing degree in a single day-that is,
the milk may be richer in fat at
morning than at night, but it is i'm
possible to increase the butter fat of
milk in an individual COW. 1t might
be done by careful breeding of pro-
nOunced dairy types known to be
producers of milk very rich in fat,
but it would require many genera
tiOns. When d COW has reached that
period when her milk flow is what
nature has decreed for her, both in
quality and quantity, no name of
food IT feeding, and we doubt as to
breeding, can make the milk richer
or produce a larger percentage of
butter fat therein.
1t is probable, therefore, a large
amount of feed is wasted by,feeding
a ration or ratiOns with constituent
of large fat-producing tendency.
thinking the result will be the en-
richment of the milk. It is not only
impossible to feed fat into milk, but
in some cases the feeding of a ration
Sc strong in fat material will de
range the system of the COW and
produce positive injury. And while
the matter is in hand we may as we'll
say another thing right along the
line the COW that has come to her
normal milk yield is not likely to
transcend that amount, whatever it
may be, as a result of any sort of
feeding the quantity may be per-
haps perceptibly increased, but only
temporarily. This means that when
a COW is giving her full supply she is
doing all the laws of creation in
tended and any attempt to alter this
plan Will result in injury to the ami
NAL and disappointment to her am
bltlOus Owner.-Farmer's Voice.

CHICKENS.

Bulletin Ga of the Maine Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, contains
an account of experiments in fatten-
ing chickens for market and the egg
record of the breeding pens for 1899.
The results of the fattening expert
ments show larger total and individ-
ual gains and cheaper flesh produc-
ton in the case of chickens with par
tial liberty. The custom commonly
practiced by English and French
Chicken-fatteners of confirming the
birds in small coops was found more
troublesome and less profitable than
maintaining them in small fOcks
with restricted runs. The age at
which fattening begins is very i'm
portant. Chickens twenty weeks
old gained and one-half pounds
in three weeks, while chickens
twenty-five weeks old gained less
than one pound in the same length
of time. 1t required eight pounds of
grain mixture to produce a pound of
gain in live weight with the older
birds and less than six pounds in the
case of the younger birds.

The Poultry Yard.
N EGGS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The selection of fowls according to
their uniform standard of plumage
sometimes works harm to the ordi-
nary poultry raiser. The fancy birds
Of course are judged by their feath'
ers more than by anything else. If
these are properly colored and of the
right length and sickness, the pedi-
gree and worth of the birds r de-
cided. This craze for feathers has
to a certain extent invaded the barn
yard, and many farmers refuse to
buy new breeds unless the feathers.
indicate a~ristocratic origin. 1t is
true that in many cases the feathers
are a pretty good criterion. IF a
breed with certain excellent charac-
teristics has been bred for years to
approximate to a certain type of
plumage, it stands to a that the
purest of this class will have feather
characteristics about the same. But
there are variations in every breed
and exceptions to all rules. IF you
emphasize the feathers too much
you will be disappointed some day,
and find that you have bought feath-
ers instead of eggs.
To a similar extent the same ap-
plies to the general cut and forma-
ton of the bird If a certain breed
has a record for egg-laying, and most
of the best birds of that breed have
conformed to a standard type Of
size, shape of head and neck and
form of body, we reason that there
must be some close connection be-
tween the shape and the egg-pro-
ducing capacity of the birds. There
always is, but not to such an extent
that one can go to work and breed
form and trust that the eggs will
come as a natural result. Not by
any means. Yet some breeders work
on that theory, and some ordinary
farmers and poultry raisers lose by
listening to them.
The fact is, with due respect for
the claims of fancy breeders, a bird
has got to be judged a good deal
by it's own capacities and abilities
and Indirectly by what its ancestors
have achieved. If the bird has a
recordfor laying eggs, and its parents
excelled in the same particular, what
do we care about the feathers and
shape? The bird may be as dirty
and ugly in appearance as any dun
colored, barnyard .mOngrel type of
fowl and it may be as lacking in
form compared to the fancy-bred
bird as a washerwOman is compared
to a Venus of Milo. We are in the
business for a living, and we en-
phasize feathers and shape only SO
far as they indicate the true capaci-
ties of the birds. The dedication of
feathers, form, and similar external
characteristics of fowls does we'll
enough for the fancy breeders, but
we poor practical mortals who must
work hard for our livings must have
something else to satisfy US.

Despise not little things is a lesson
we of the South need to learn, oh, so
badly. We are often over-reached
largely in consequence of this neg
lect. Think of a whole people en-
gagged for three generations in ex-
changing the virgin fertility of their
soil and then putting a fourth gen
Grafton to buying commercial fertili-
zers with which to repair the waste.
We must come out of that, subdivide
the soil among a larger number,
multiply tenfold the number of our
hogs, cattle and fowls, and utilize
them for restoring old lands, which
will then yield plenteously.-Colonel

II was feared at first that he would never

1t was q dreary time. The business
fell away; the townspeople said to each
other that they could not trust man Of
whom such things had been said-.they
could not leave their interests In his
hands. One after another the old names
disappeared from his books. Men he had
known all his simple life fought shy Of

Felix worked hard, but It was like row.

Those were days OF strict economy In
Vale House. There was no tempting
fruit for the feeble appetite, no generous
wine to give strength to the feeble frame.
The best medicine that the invalid had
were the cheering, kindly words Of his
wife, the love Of his son.
That evening Felix came home late
from his office; he was tired, owing to the
hard work and ill.fortune Of the day. He
fought nobly with misfortune, but he
fought In vain. His kind face frightened
when he saw letter for him. It must
be from Violet. Oh, to escape. II only
for one hour, and sun himself In the light
Of her presence! He saw her SO seldom
now. He was hard at work during the
day, and the nights were SO cold for
walks and rambles. He occasionally
went over to The Lines; but the welcome
that he received there was not Of the
warmest, but he could not see Violet
alone.
He took up the letter with smile and
read Il. 1t was not from Violet, but
from her father, Francis Haye, saying
that the marriage must be deferred a,
least year, as he was quite sure that
under the circumstances Felix could no,
hamper himself with q wife. "Violet
was" he said, "of the same opinion, al
he would see;" and indeed there was q

she thought her father was right.
