An exchange cautions the farmers
that when they clean out their cellars
in the spring and remove partially de
cayed vegetables they should not feed
them to the hens. 1t is true that near
ly all the vegetables kept in the cellar
during the winter are good for hens
when in good condition, but when much
decayed or badly wilted they are moi

Texas Cattle Exported.

The expectation of cattle direct from
Texas to Liverpool has again opened
up within the last month or two with
apparent success. We say success for
the reason that the parties who made
an experimental shipment few weeks
ago, after receiving returns, immedi-
ately bought another shipload, which
is now on the ocean. With a good,
brisk foreign demand and two big
packing houses at Fort WORTH Tex,
feeders ought to be able to realize top
prizes for their cattle.-Dallas Farm

The eye is a very important factor
In the makeup of any animal. 1t re-
ceives its nerve supply directly from the
brain, and it's clearness, brightness and
size indicate the degree of nervous en-
ergy and disposition of the animal. An
animal showing a large amount Of
white around the eye or with a small
pupil and suppressed eye is generally
Of nervous, irritable temperament
and is on this account a poor feeder
A broad and high forehead gives ample
space for the housing Of the brain,
which, Of course directs and controls
the nervous energy and influences d.
gestion, assimilation. circulation and
other functions of the animal organiza-
ton.
The nostril of the beef animal should
be medium in size, with clear, bright
lining membrane. If it is large it in
dicates a predispostion to scrofulous
diseases and the unnecessary oxidation
and waste of food. If it is small, there
is not sufficient room for the proper
development of the air passages, and
this is an indication of hereditary
weakness. Under such circumstances
sufficient air will not be drawn into the
lungs to complete the oxidation of the
food, which must proceed rapidly in
the case of animals consuming large
quantities of "roughness."
AS the chief function of cattle is to-
consume large quantities of food for
the formation Of flesh, fat and milk it
Is necessary that the mouth be large
and the teeth firmly set. A medium
sized horn, refined ear and an intelli
gent, active appearance are all indica-
tons of considerable Importance, as
they are associated with good breeding

Bran with Corn For Steers.
A correspondent asks The Breeders
Gazette: How much bran ut SIS per
ton can be profitably fed with corn at
55 cents per bushel to matured steers
in the feed yard?"
w. A. Henry answers as follows;
sour correspondent will find that If he
gives his steers a ration consisting OF
quarter or third bran by weight and
the remainder corn he will materially
improve the quality of his feed supply
to the fattening steers. Bran furnishes
n large amount of mineral matter, such
as phosphoric acid and potash. 1t also
supplies nitrogen. 1t has a generally
beneficial effect on the digestive tract
of Illuminating animals and will cause
the steer to more fully utilize the corn
which is fed him. The manure result
ing from bran is much richer than that
made through corn feeding, and where
fertility is given any attention this
side of the subject is of Importance.
Our correspondent is urged to feed
some bran and to note the results"

FOOD FOR PIGS.
Skimmi1l< and Cornmenl Give Most
Economical Results.

Economical Results.
Farmers as well as creamery owners
desire to know the value of separator
skimmilk for all feeding purposes.
The separator skimmilk when re-
turned to the farmers is ordinarily sold
by the creamery for 10 cents per 100
pounds in New York state. Basing its
estimates on this valuation, the Cornell
station summarizes the results Of eX.
periments in feelings pigs as follows:
In 1897 one pound increase of live
weight of pigs was made with IL
pounds of cornmeal and AS pounds of
ical gain for the year.
In feeding potatoes to pigs during the
winter warm, dry quarters should be
furnished otherwise potatoes, whether
cooked or uncooked, may do more harm
than good.
In 1898 the most economical gain was
made with cornmeal and skimmilk
when the proportion by weight of corn
meal to skimmilk was about / to 3.
BOnemeal did not produce any appar-
ent results.
In 1899 the variations in individuals
were greater than the variations in the
different lots. The greatest gains were
made by the smaller pigs.
The most economic gains in 1899 were
made when cornmeal and skimmilk
were fed in the proportion of l pound
Of cornmeal to ca pounds of milk. One
pound increase in live weight was made
with 1.5 pounds of cornmeal and 10.4
pounds of skimmilk.
Molasses from beet sugar factory was
very unsatisfactory.
In 1900 most economical results were
obtained when l pound Of cornmeal
was fed with % pounds Of milk. The
amount of food required for one pound
gain in live weight was 90 pounds Of
cornmeal and G.S pounds of skimmilk.
Bonemeal seemed to produce beneficial
results.
In 1901 the pigs were overfed before
the experiment began. Extreme care
must be exercised in feeding skimmilk
to young pigs that the amount fed is
not too great. They should only be
fed what they will consume quickly.
Most economic results were secured
in 1901 where one pound of cornmeal
was fed with six pounds of skimmilk
and in addition a small quantity of
bonemeal. 1t required % pounds OF
cornmeal and 1873 pounds of skimmilk
to produce pound of gain live
weight.
AS result of five years work it is
found that most economic returns are
secured with skimmilk when cornmeal
is the grain used. The proportion of
cornmeal to skimmilk may be varied
without apparently affecting results.
In no case should the amount of skim
milk fed be greater than the pigs can
quickly and easily consume.

Our love folds like a purple haze
Around those old Italian days.

Upon that snow-white rock that seems
A shapeless mass to you; and yet

And eye were quick to understand
The beauty in the marble locked.
When on the yielding stone knocked

We peasants were a merry lot!
If life were hard, we knew it not.
Toll melted busy hours like snow
Clink! Clink. The happy hammers go

Had set our violet skies alight,
The twanging of the mandolin
Wove our light feet its strains within,
Who tript across its twinllling bars
And danced beneath the dancing stars
That bent to hear the melody.
Blanca always danced with me,
AS light as blown leaves, until
The English signor came, to spill
The rich wine of my life and tear
Away the rose l longed to wear.
This Englishman was hard and cold.
AS other men whose god is gold.
The workmen feared him from the first;
And as for me, the very worst
And hardest labor he could find
In all the quarry to his mind
Belonged to me; twas hard 10 bear.

And waits thee there where parting cannot come;
Sing songs of JOY, or let thy lips be dumb"
