cooking feed for hogs aud scalding feed
for COWS For the hogs take six
bushels Of small potatoes, apples OF
pumpkins, run them through a root
cutter so they will cook quickly and
when they are done mix one bushel
cornmel and one bushel bran This
makes 100 gallons Of feed. When il is
all mixed well together take the feed
out Of the cooker and put it in barrels
that are packed in sawdust, which keeps
the feed warm until it is fed up. | feed
the hogs all they will eat Of this three
times day. Having never weighed
the hogs for a test, | cannot tell ex-
aotly how much gain there is from cook
ing the feed over feeding it uncooked 4,
but should think about oue-fourth.
One bushel Of cobs aud an armfu of

100 gallons Of feed For cows | put
one peck barley sprouts in galvanized

Horticultural.


Although we can earn a livelihood
with less hard manual labor than our
fathers Of 30 or 40 years ago could, if
we keep up with the manner Of living
to-day, We must manage more method
ically and skillfully than was required
by their simple and less luxurious man :
ner Of living. They had broad acres Of
rich, virgin soil, from which they skim =
med their crops much to the impover-
ishment Of their descendants, we think
But now we must contract, concentrate
and intensity our labor, to increase the
productiveness of onr fields, to do which
successfully. requires knowledge of the
supplying needed elements of produc-
tiyeness. Successful farmers are those
who understand these principles and
practice them. Those who do not know,
or regard them are more or less failures.
There are many ways of mismanage-
ment. which cause the rapid exhaustion
or fertility Of the farm. To manage in
such . way as to produce paying crops,
and not unduly exhaust the soil, re-
quires judiciOus management. Not
everyone who says be is farmer is one.
He may pursue the business after a
manner, but in point of knowledge and
skill, he is wanting, and, at best, he is
merely an imitatOr. There are many of
this class Of farmers Most of them fail
because they do not understand or prop
erly adopt the best means Of maintain
ing the fertility of their land. They
also often cultivate more land than their
force warrants, giving only Indifferent
cultivation and o. the drain upon the
farm goes on about the same whether
large or small crops are grown, and as
poor crops usually follow poor cultiva-
ton, such farming makes a sterile farm.
Then there is the widely practiced
method Of RAISING grass and stock to be
sold Of the farm. This when rightly
conducted is very profitable, but the
practice Of sowing the farm to grass,
clover and other forage crops and stock
raising, neglecting cultivation and ma
nuring, is anything but profitable. The
crops are harvested and either sold or
fed to stock, and the stock sold of the
farm; and as the prevailing idea about
this sort Of farming is that grass and
stock raising improves land, little if any
thing is returned to the soil to replace
the heavy annual drain upon it, re-
quired to produce crops aud build up
the expensive animal frame. lnnumer-
able farms are run down under this i'll
managed system of farming j |. b.,
