Diversity in Feeding,

All animals on the farm prefer foods
that may not be relished by some
others. The farmer should take adj
vantage of this fact and utilize all the
materials that might be wasted if
there were not some animals that
would accept them. A judicious use of
the feed cutter, mixing little bran or
meal with the cut. food, and tempting
the animals with i variety, will rem
der serviceable even such foods as
wheat straw. There are several
modes of serving corn fodder that will
make it acceptable to dainty animals.

The Bird Question Again.

It is estimated that We have nearly sc
per cent. less birds than we used to
have. The robin, song sparrows and
all other kinds of domestic birds, il
they may be so called, have been sacrl:

bonnets. But for every bird thus killed
we have paid the penalty. Amyriad OF
worms has descended to punish us for
our cruelty. Laws are being enacted
against shooting the birds, but the
most powerful weapon is the worm. 1t

Improving Marshy Land.

When piece of marshy land has
been drained it is often found that
crops fail to thrive, although it seems
to be very rich in nitrogen. The rem
edy is to add barnyard manure. The
semi-aquatic vegetation which for
merly occupied the land decays SO
slowly that cultivated crops cannot
get nitrogen rapidly enough for their
needs. When the manure is added il
sets up fermentation which con
verts the nitrogen bearing materials
into a more soluble and hence avail
able form.-Director C. Z. Thorne
