Roots for Animals.

The feeding of roots to farm AMI
mails is not as general as it should pc.
Esuecially is this true of the cow. II
has been successfully demonstrated
that root feeding exercises a benehclal
effect upon the digestive organs ana
as a natural consequence the health is
improved. AS the appetite is IN
creased by their use the flow OF milk
is increased correspondingly. BY ac-
tual experiment, carrots have been
found to be more valuable than tur-
nips. The cost of raising carrots IS
very little more than that OF turnlps.
Most dairy folks know that in the car
rot is found a natural coloring agent
the carrot, especially the yellow Varle-
ty, producing an increased flow OF
milk with rich yellow cream. AS a
fattening agent the carrot is excellent
used in connection with grain, hay.
etc. For the purpose OF fattening, the
white carrot can be used also. Pota'
toes may be fed in small quantities IN
rations for COWS, but their use should
be only occasional as they tend te
| soften the butter products. Horses
are very fond of carrots.

somethino About the Harness.

Some time ago, while riding behind
a loaded team, I noticed that when the
team was walking up the hill n
horse wheezed badly, and while travel
ing on the level he breathed all right.
asked the driver the cause of it, and
he said: His collar is too small, and
it partially shut his wind off drawing
up grade"
WELL" I said, as / felt like saying
something to relieve the horse, Il
would get a new pair of collars. This
is o good a horse to injure. and per-
hans lose to save so small a cost. And
besides. If / was pulling my half OF
this load, I should demand full wind
or no pull"
The next time I saw these horses on
the road they had new collars. The
man took the wisest course, as nc

wintsrinn Breeding Ducks.

Ducks that are to be kept over the
winter for breeding purposes should
be two years old if possible, or at
least very early Matched birds, as n e
seldom lay until a year old. Two
year-old birds are the best layers.
They need a comfortable house with a
dry earth floor, we'll covered with
straw. cut stalks, or dry litter OF some
kind. Close up at night, after tney
have gone in, and when it is time TO
begin laying, keep them in until y
a. M. as they usually lay before this
hour. If let out early, they will drop
their eggs wherever they happen TO
he. The litter in the house should be
| turned over two or three times a week,
| renewed weekly and the house scraped
out.
While young ducks can be raised to
best advantage without water to SWIM
in. it is almost essential that the
breeding stock have a place to swim
and battle. They will keep mucn
cleaner and a greater percentage OF
the eggs will be fertile, il they have a
swimming pond. They must always
have a supply of fresh water before
them when eating. especially sof'
mash, as their nostrils become hlleo
and they need to rinse them u a

be fed once a day for a change, but
they get too fat, give less corn an

MANY farmers have no facilities for
storage, and too often accept the nFsC

suggestions are from an address OIL
Professor w. M. Munson to the Maine

BY the establishment OF old storage

may take advantage OF the
inevitable raise in prices as the season
II they cannot agree on
terms for cooperative shipments,
which it is most desirable they should
do, if possible, they can at least erect
storage plants, engage a competent
man to take charge, and make a pro
rata assessment for its m~aintenances.
Fruit for storage should be graded
in the orchard and only the best grade
nut into refrigeration, and that with
ont delay. The lower grades will not
nav for the time and extra cost OF
holding. for fruit is not improved by
cold storage. If it is in prime condl'
tion on entering the refrigerator, it
will be likely to. come out in proper

fective on going in, it will be equally
as bad, and will go to pieces very

How to Save Forage.

The ordinary forage n grain crop
can be saved even if it rains every
few days, provided you have a large
barn or other equivalent shed room L
know this from years of successful ex-
perience. For example, l have just
saved two or three ions OF corn todder
(whole stalks and many ears still lett
upon them), although it has ralned
twice a week ever since we cut 1t. Inc
secret is to watch your chance. After
a rain, let it stay until another rain IS
promised. thus allowing it to get as
dry as the weather will permit. Ihen
gather all the teams and rush several
loads to shelter. Spread not over SIX
to - inches thick, and stand against
walls, barns, ETC.. as if stacked" IN
the field. By this means it Will all
cure quite well. and aside from the
dark color that the rain is apt TO I'M
part, it is substantially as good as the
best. Don't wait for another rain Is
the secret of success, but rush II ID
| and spread as think as your space VII
| allow.-F. N. Thorpe in the EpltomlsC
