Feeding Herseords.

Mr.. Thomas Clark of Illinois writes

lure concerning his methods of feed
ng Hereford cattle. He says:
First, in handling my stock bulls l
give special attention to their rations
and exercise. I feed them from four.
10 six quarts Of ground corn, oats and
bran, equal parts, mixed with q little
tut hay, twice per day, morning and
night, then giving them as much long
hay as they can eat. / always turn
hem out after their breakfast, and If
The weather is not too stormy they
will remain outside in lots all day,
where hay is accessible to them at any
lime. I find this treatment the most
Iudicious, as the bulls are always
strong and vigorous. and ate sure get.
ers.
My cows I generally breed so as to
salve in the months of November, De-
.ember. and in the early part OF
,pring; but for economixing in the
:aising Of cattle I should favor the
breeding of cows so as to have them
irop their calves just before going out
IN grass, and allow the calves to run
with their mothers and partake of the
milk, as nature provided. BY so do
mg l think we can raise stronger-con'
situtioned cattle and better feeders.
Ny dry in-calf cows can winter out In
Yards. with an open shed for protec'
don during storms, upon a little q
with plenty Of good oat straw or corn
talks. My cows SO wintered are now
m good breeding condition and will
,lrop their calves in March and April,
Mst before going out on grass. These
ire kept at a very little expense com
pared with cows sucking calves dur
ing the winter months. Cows giving
milk or sucking calves in winter !
Iced as follows: I mix up about one
seek Of cut hay with two quarts OF
iran, and the same proportion OF
,eets added. for each animal. The
iced is mixed up ono a day In bulk,
md remains about twelve hours. 50 as
% absorb the juice Of the beets. !
iced this morning and night; also give
y. little long hay before going ous: In
he morning and after their feed at
aight. When in the yard l feed corn
stalks or oat straw.
Cows just before calving are put In
box stalls and fed literally with
ground corn, oats, bran and two
pounds of oil;cake mixed with cut hay
ser day. The oil-cake will put them
IN better condition for calving. After
he calves are dropped I allow them
% remain with their dams about a
week; afterward suckle twice a day.
The ration for young calves is equal
parts of shelled corn, oats and bran
with a few cut beets.

Over 1000 years ago the Egyptians
hatched eggs by artificial means, and
yet there are people in this enlight-

And the queer part Of it is, they even
doubt it when they see it with their
own eyes. II costs less to run . good

Incubate the same number Of eggs.
md q good incubator will hatch just as
many or more eggs than an average
lock Of hens. There are good and bad
.incubators, just q much as there are
hens that stick to business and hens
that quit the nest. the variation is just
as great. There are i%ncubators that
ire made carefully of good material
and on the right principle, and there
are others that are made with q view
Of profit on manufacture. There are
several good incubators and several.
