Have Regular Feeding Hours.

The Oregon station made a test of
the Importance of regular hours for
feeding and milking cows. They took
six cows and divided them into two
lots as near alike as TO age and length
of time in milk as they could. One
lot was fed and MIXED regularly at $50
a. m. and $50 p m, while the other
lot was fed and MIXED at hours rang
ing from 5 to a m. and from to 6
p. m. This was kept up for three
weeks, the amount of feed being the
same for each lot. AS a result those
fed and MIXED regularly increased
their milk production. SO per cent,
while the other lot shrank A per cent.
This difference of about ten per cent.
in three weeks emphasizes what we
have said so often: Feed and milk
regularly.

Many think that the farmers life is
an unenyiable one, that ne is tied down
at home. scarcely having time to eat
his meals, while the truth of the mat
ter is, the farmer can be the most IN
dependent man on earth If he chooses.
True, he must rise early. work late
and continuously for a while in the
spring, but after two or three months
the hardest of his work is done. and
he can take It comparatively easy dur
ing the remainder of the season.
One of the greatest essentials to pros
perity and enjoyment of life is per
feet health. The best opportunities for
this are offered ON the farm unless
too much work is attempted. Exposure
during bad weather must be avoided
as much as possible. While stock
farmers especially must be out In all
kinds of weather. good food and proper
clothing will go a long way towards
counteracting any bad effects. The
orchard, garden and poultry yard
makes 1t possible for the farmer to
have the very best to live upon. While
men in other professions may make
money faster, very few callings afford
more pleasure and more substantial
returns. 1t is now possible to have
daily papers, periodicals of all kinds.

No Food For An Purpose..

There Is no perfect food for al pur-
poses Everything depends upon what
is to be accomplished If the object
is to fatten an animal the food should
contain larger proportion of corn
than if the desire is to promote growth.
OF the various foods, grass is equal
to any. as it is rich In mineral matter
and is also an assistant in fattening
because it promotes digestion and Is
eaten slowly. For milk production
grass may be assisted by the concen-
trated foods and also by hay. but only
a variety Of feod is perfect for any
purpose.
