SHREDDED FODDER RACK.

Loss of Feed.

A subscriber asks for plan of
Manager for feeding cut or shredded
fodder to sheep that will prevent
waste. I will describe one that we
are using with great satisfaction. 1t
is an excellent rack for feeding any
thing usually given to sheep-grain,
hay, ensilige cut or long fodder.
The only objection is that if it is
allowed to stand directly upon the
manure the bottom becomes foul.
This can be obviated by placing
pieces of scantling under it so that
the air may circulate beneath it,
where the sheep arc large enough to
feed over the edges thus elevated.
1t is simply a trough two feet wide
and ten inches deep, over which is
placed a Stat covering to keep the
sheep from getting into it, as shown
in illustration. For this use pieces

College Professor,

Herbert w. Mumford in q circular

SO much that parallelogramic form
So popularity spoken of by many au'
thorities, as he does high state OF
development in loin, crops, back,
thighs, twists and rump. He de-
mands development in these regions
because they are the parts from
which are secured the high priced
cuts. The animal should show plenty
of depth and breadth, furnishing Il
large surface for flesh, without that
tendency to be paunchy which would
he Objectionable to the butcher. He
seeks also smooth, well rounded, gen
e-al outlines which indicate both
evcnness of flesh and an absence of
that tendency to be rough and coarse
which would mean loss to him, since
the waste in the dressing of the
rough, coarse beast would be out of
proportion wit, the weight of the
marketable beef. Then, too, the
butcher is not unmindful of the fact
that having secured satisfactory de-
vclopment of these parts from which
are taken the high-priced cuts there
is an added value in securing thick
even flesh throughout on the cheaper
as well as the more valuable parts OF
the carcass.
TO the unframed eye an unusual
Development of loin crops and thighs
would detract from the beauty, style
and gracefulncss of the beast. To
the butcher such development would
increase rather than detract from it's
value. 1t should be clearly borne in
mind, therefore, that no beauty of
outline, style or gracefulness Of car
rage will ever take precedence of
proper development in most impor-
tant and valuable parts of the bull
lock. Nor should we assume that
the highest development in these
most valuable parts is incompatible
with an ideal beef form. It is en-
TREY consistent and desirable that
we hold up as our ideal standard of
the prime steer combination of well
developed parts from which are taken
the high priced cuts and that uni
formly high development in all parts
capable of taking on flesh which gives
to the animal symmetry and smooth
ness of outline that style and that
beauty otherwise impossible.

A WISCONSIN PAPER ON
WESTERN CANADA.
Saskatoon, Saskatc hewnn, One Of the
FaVOureL Districts,

The following clipped from the cor
respondence columns of the Eau Claire,
(Wiscorsin) Leader, is but one OF
many letters of similar character
that might be published concerning
Western Canada, the land of No. l
Hard Wheat and the best cattle on
the continent. 1t is n simple matter
to reach the lands spoken of, the Cana
dian Government having agencies es-
tablished at St. Paul and Duluth,
Minnesota; Grafton, North Dakota;
Watertown, South Dakota; Omaha,
Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; Des
Mines, Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee,
Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Indian
apolis, Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie, and
Detroit Michigan; Toledo and Column
bus, Ohio, and by writing to or call
ing upon any of these Agents at these
points full information can be Sc
cured. This is a great opportunity to
secure home free of cost OF if you
desire to purchase lands; they can be
bought now at prices much lower than
will exist in few months. But read
what the correspondent referred to
has to say of one particular district.
10 the Editor Of the Leader:
''rhe rush Of the land seekers will
be to the prairie provinces of the Do
minion Of Canada. The allurements of
a soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat
to the acre are too great to be resist
ed, and an immense migration from
this country may be confidently pre-
dicted. People here laughed at first
at the idea of any one leaving the
United States for Canada, but the Do
minion authorities knew they had q
good thing and they stuck it. Their
officials evidently knew the value Of
printers ink. They spared no ex-
pense in letting the people Of this
country know that these lands were
there and that they were exactly as
rcpres ented. They did more. They
sent out specimens Of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have had
them here at four consecutive street
fairs, presided over by one Of their
ablest immigration officers. This gem
tlcman spared no pains. He explained
the value of the lands and the richness
of the soil from morning to night to
oil corners. ..
"All this told in the long run. Sew
eral went up from here to spy out the
land, and, like Caleb, the SON of Jepun.
neh, and Joshua, the son Of Nun,
brought back n good report, and now
some ten families will leave here in q
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle
upon farms there, and others are pre-.
pairing to follow. OF course many will
appear shocked at the idea of any
one leaving the stars and stripes fol-
the Union Jack, but patriotism is but
Il nomenclature after all, and our ex-
perience has been that in nine hun
dred and ninety-nine cases out of a
thousand, man is the most patriotic
where he can make the most money
and do the most harm to those whom
he hates" .. "

How to Ring Roofing Hogs.

The farmer should ring the hogs
noses when he finds them roofing
where he does not want them to root.
Then his temper is about right to do
the work promptly and well. We have
light rack, just large enough to hold
common-sized hogs. The top is open
and the sides and ends are made of
round, upright sticks, the size of fork
handles. Both ends open by sliding
up. We place this rack in narrow
doorway at the stable and let hog in.
Then we pull his nose up with slip
moose rope and put ring in the nose.
We let the hog pass out at the other
end of the rack. It is narrow, so the
hog cannot turn in it. Have small
ring at the end of the rope making the
slip moose to make it close and open
easily.-Farmers' Voice.
