Water Drank by Hous,

water Drank by Hogs.
Prof. w. A. Henry says: I'VE find
little recorded on this subject, posi-
bly, because the matter is. not con-
sidered of Importance by many. In
feeding trial by the writer at the
Wisconsin station group. of ten pigs
divided into two lots of five each,
one lot getting barley meal and the
other corn meal, was fed for a period
OF eight weeks, with the results given
below.
"The five fed on barley averaged
ZOE pounds at beginning of test, ate
1882 pounds of grain, gained COL
pounds in weight, consumed 9,056
pounds of water, and required al
pounds of grain for 100 pounds of
gain. For every 100 pounds of food
eaten they drank 800 pounds of water.
The five fed on corn meal aver
aged 2o9 pounds in weight at begin.
nlns OF test, ate 3,100 pounds of grain,
gained 1l3 pounds in weight, drank
e'ozo pounds of water and used 435
pounds Of food in making 100 pounds
OF gain. For every 100 pounds of
feed eaten they drank 213 pounds of
water, or 107 pounds less than those
fed on barley.
The weight of water reported in.
cludes that required for soaking the
meal and also that drank from a..
second trough.
1T will be seen that the pigs fed
corn meal consumed about two
pounds of water, and the barley-fed
over three pounds, for each pound OF
meal eaten. The pigs getting corn
meal consumed over 900 pounds OF
water, and the barley-fed pigs 1900
pounds, for each 100 pounds of gain
IN live weight. Pigs fed corn meal
appear to require less water than
when on other feeds.''

GET TING MS
FORM BACK

For several days after my arrival
at the shack on the hillside, where I
was supposed to repose, sit in the
cleaning and listen to farm talk be-
cause it was not wearing on the brain
also listen to Clara Fostering High
water on the organ for her steady,
had noticed an elephantine figure that
came numbering down the left side of
the road every morning when the men
started work in the field opposite.
had also noticed with what delibera-
ton that same figure came to the rail
1ence, crossed it's arms upon the top
rail, lifted it's left foot to the lower
rail, and posed there in all the glori-
fication of flesh-laden soul, enjoying
things without further effort.
Finally began to ask questions.
who is that individual over there
who seems to be happy though doing
nothing?"
You mean Lehm Pembroke? Yes,
that's him; allus does it this time of
year, when the men work. He's Just
watching them work, that's ALL while
he's getting his health back. Lem was
spry once, before he went to Sandago
to put the war down. Since then he
hain't been we'll
"Ah! A veteran of the affair be-
tween Spain and the United States? ?"
so he says; says he had hefty
hand in putting the thing down. But
he says he lost his health and it hain't
never come back since. He can't
work no more, poor Lem!"
The next morning Lemuel got on
the job earlier than usual, and I start
ed over to investigate the affair. TAX
ing position on the fence close by. |
approached the subject by saying:
Nice crop of oats.''
Lemuel peeled his China blue eyes
at me; l had disturbed him, and his
lace showed it. He fastened his gaze
upon the workers, changed footrests
and said nothing.
"Oats will not be very dear this sea-
son IL all the crops turn out as good
as this, FRIEND" continued.

The boys over there are buckling
down to work getting in oats while
the sun shines. Did you ever notice

humanity" I asked, trying to pry

Not melody of earth

Nor will come before the final trumpet

Such as that which strikes the ear
When the sun rays first appear
When the meadow lark is singing in the
morning.

for generations gone,
That piped their simple melodies back at

Are with US yet, and every note Is just
as clear as when
The Master placed them on the earth to
cheer the hearts of men.
And never did a sWeeter song burst from
feathered throat;
No mortal ear has ever heard a more en-
trancing note -.~:
Since first the merry warblers were re-
leased from Noah's ark
Than is the jolly whistle of the saucy
meadow lark.
We can see the cunning fellows peepine
from the waving grass,

Cheese and Butter Makinn.

A good many cheese factories are
now being equipped with butter MAX
ing machinery, so that they can make
cheese in the summer and butter in
the winter and thus take the farm
ers' milk the year round. One of the
objections to cheese factories in some
localities is the fact that they run
for only six months in the year and
the farmer is left without a market
for his milk during the rest of the
year. BY this process also the farmer
has to have all of his COWS calve in
the spring so that he may get as big
flow of milk as possible during the
months when he can sell it. It is
much more to the interest of the
farmer to have some of his COWS
calve in the fall. In the first place his
calves can then have the skimmilk
at an ago when milk in some form
must be supplied to- them. Later they
can live on pasture grasses. The man
that produces milk for the summer
cheese factory only has none for his
calves, and the whey is a poor substi-
tute. All the year dairying must take
the place of the summer method if
we are to have our dairy localities
centers of industry and prosperity.

Points on Guinea Fowls.

Guinea fowls have dark colored
flesh, but it is very palatable.
ln-breeding results in rendering the
birds tender and reduces their size.
The young of birds given their free.
dom are hardy and will follow their
mother as soon almost as they are
out OF the shell; at least they are
good trampers after they are day
old. The young live on bugs and
seeds discovered for them by the
mothers.
In the early laying season the birds
will lay their eggs anywhere, and
several will deposit their eggs in the
same locality. When about to sit they
seek separation and lay dozen OF
more eggs in hidden nest, where
they incubate them.
The guineas differ from common
fowls in that the males are as anxious
about the brood as is the hen, and
helps take care Of them during the
day time, forsaking them at night.

age in a body, the old males helping
to keep up the laggards of the line.
At night each mother collects her own

The young at very early age learn
to roost in the trees, even before they
can reach the branches by flying.
They half fly and half run up the
trunk of the tree.

Dairy Schools.


The agricultural colleges of the
country are every year giving more
and more attention to their dairy
schools. We believe that as many
young men and women as possible,
that are interested in dairying, should
attend these schools. The entrance
is not, however, as easy as it was
Some of the dairy schools make the
rule that the students must have had
at least six months experience in a
creamery or cheese factory. This rule
has been made because in the past it
has been found that the students that
make the most progress and are the
best satisfied with the schools are
those that have had such experience.
We think, however, that this may be
carried too far. We want good farm
buttermakers as well as good cream
cry buttermakers and good cheese
makers.

water and then oats. Never feed more
than twelve to fourteen pounds OF
hay per day and fifteen pounds OF
oats. Boiled daxseed mixed with

without any danger to the animal.
Then stop for few weeks or as long

stances allow one person to sign the
name of another. Agents must also
refuse to allow persons to sign their
names on contracts who are not ac-
tually going with the shipment. This
affords an opportunity for interested
parties to be picked up and carried

ment in blanks on the back of the
contract, provided for entering the
shippers name by the agent can be
filled to show who is in charge of the
shipment, but the blanks for personal

apply only where such attendant is

such, when they are under 1S years
of age. See that this rule is made a
