A Feeders Practical way.

In general, early feeding Is the most
profitable. The quicker you can mature
an animal the more money it will
make. 1t is not profitable to feed after
cattle are ripe and ready for market.
have made cattle gain five and one-half
pounds per day for sixty days, but af-
ter that net nearly that average. !
have had much more success in feed
ing ground feed than | ever had in any
other way, and l have tried almost ev-
cry way and have come to the conclu-
sion that to grind corn and cob to-
gether, rather fine, is much better than
to feed clear meal.
l have neVer mad so good results as
when l have fed five timfs day, but
l never feed so the cattle leave the
least bit in their boxes Cattle will not
eat any more when fed five times a
day than when fed all they will eat
three times, but the advantage is that
you do not overload their stomachs,
and therefore the food is more easily
digested and they fatten faster on the
same food. I have had better success
in feeding cattle kept in their stalls
than in any other way of keeping them.
am great advocate of feeding bran
and middlings and think they are near
ly or quite as good as the same weight
Of corn. l am greatly in favor of de-
horning cattle, as you can feed them in
a much smaller space and they will do
much better-Farm and Home.

FAIRY TALES FOR CHILDREN.

Publisher Refuses Stories of Dragons
or Tragic Themes.
81 am lover of fairy tales" said a
novelist the other day, land for long
time have had the desire to do vol
ume of them. So l visited a publisher
recently and submitted to him the plots
of ten or eleven stories that would
make, l thought, very charming little
book. He disagreed with me.
Zone story dwelt with dragons and
another with the Staying of an ogre.
According to the publisher they would
not do for child readers; they would
scare the little ones ana would cause
them to beliye in horrid monsters that
don't exist Another was a sad story,
and that was impossible because little
children should never be made to cry.
And so on down through them all, until
l couldn't see for the life of me what
subjects were left to write about.
Consider the best fairy tales-Hans
Andersen's Tin Soldier Oscar Wilde's
Happy Prince or Jack, the Giant
Killer, Little Red Riding Hood Blue
beard Aladdin, Puss-in-Boots' and
so on. Don't they deal with death and
woe and slaughter and fear?
1T is all absurd for publishers to is
sue only mandy -pamby stuff for chill
dren," said the novelist, according to
the Philadelphia Record land one re-
suit of their foolishness is that good
fairy tales are no longer written"

Cheap salt In butter is an expensive
economy.
A cow that will not eat abundantly

The less water there Is in butter, the
fewer cdors it will take up.
Milk set to cool where odors exist,
absorbs such odors very readily.
If you have a COW that keeps fat

Butter is bitter because Of impure
foods or from holding the cream too
long.
Cows will give more milk and of

With the dairy COW there should al

DO not put the calves on skim milk
too soon. Give them the rick milk

The keifer calf does not need fatten-

Lice on Cattle.

Many COWS come out of winter quar-
tiers infested with lice. There is no
excuse for this state of affairs which
is largely due to carelessness on the
part of the owner of the cattle. If the
poultry are allowed to roost in the
barns the cattle are sure to become
infested with poultry lice and even
when poultry are not permitted in the
barns unless the stalls are kept clean
and ventilation is supplied there is al
most always a plague of cattle lice.
Before the cattle are turned out to
pasture they ought to be put in good
condition, especially if their owner is
inclined to cut off the grain ration as
soon as spring comes. If the cattle
are afflicted with lice try the old-time
remedy of washing the back and sides
Of the animals with a strong decoction
of white oak bark. The bark is boiled
in water until the decoction is of the
desired strength. After supplying this
remedy clean up the stables and give
the cows chance to regain their
vigor
