The Exact Food Required.

1t has been we'll demonstrated with
in the last few years that many of
our animals receive far more food
than they require or than they can
use to advantage. AS a result some
of our skillful feeders have cut down
the grain they were feeding to steers
five pounds and found they got as good
results. We have taken it for granted
that the more feed the animals ate
the better IL was for them, and the
more force they were developing for
their various needs. AS well assert
that it makes no difference how much
fuel we use to do certain amount of
cooking. We know that in that case a
vast amount of fuel can be absolutely
wasted. One man that had large
number of stock to feed figured out
the saving to himself in the feeding of
oats. He made his figures on a hun
dred head of animals and with oats
at 40 cents per bushel. By feeding
just the amount of oats required he
saved one pound per head per day
over what he had been accustomed to
FEED. This meant 100 pounds per day
for all the animals, 365 pounds
year per animal and 36,500 pounds of
oats during the year. This weight OF
oats, at 80 pounds to the bushel, was
worth $456. That was pretty good pay
for little expenditure of thought. A
little figuring and observation did the
work

Care In DRESSING Animals.

n the dressing of any animal it is
always well to consider that possibly
it may be affected with tuberculosis
or some other contagious disease.
There is little danger of infection If
there is no wound on the hands that
can come into contact with the meat.
A good many cases are on record
where men have lost their lives by
carelessness in this regard. Butchers
are perhaps oftener the subject Of
such accidents than any others; and
the amateur butcher is as certainly
in danger as the professional. A Chi
cago man reports as follows to the

The Incubator on the Earn,

The incubator and brooder are the
modern allies of the poultry raiser.
Originally the fowl laid but few more
eggs than she could hatch. 1t is diff
ferent now. We have developed our
hen to lay $50 eggs year, and she
can at most hatch not more than
thirty Of them. To keep the Matching
ability up to the laying ability we
nave had to invent the incubator and
brooder. These machines are espe-
cially adapted to the use Of people
that are making business of poultry
raising, but they are also adapted in a
lesser degree to the use Of our farm
ers that keep fiocks of hundred or
more fowls. On some of our large
farms from 200 to 500 fowls are raised
annually. Yet in a good many in
stances the only means of Matching is
from hens. The operation drags along
through the summer, with the result
that in the fall the farmer has a good
many kinds and sizes Of fowls for
sale. some of them marketable and
some not. On farm such as we have
mentioned it will certainly pay to buy
and use an incubator and brooder or
breeders.
In the first place there is uniformity
In the flock, both as to age and size.
The birds can be raised by the hun.
dreds in March and April, at which
time eggs are readily obtainable, and
when fall comes the birds that are to
be disposed Of will be all of size
and well grown. They will then bring
better price than otherwise, If the
seller knows his business. This will
be true whether the birds are sent to
some commission house or are dis.
posed of 10 the private trade.
Another advantage in using an in
cubator Is the increased certainty of
having chicks at ALL There are some
years, as all OF our poultry raisers
know, when the hens show little in
clination TO be broody and more than
once the poultry raiser has found him
self at the beginning of summer with
only half the number of chicks he ex.
pected to have. The number to be
matched is controllable by the ma
chimes, but not otherwise. A man can
start the machines in February or
March and hatch till he has secured
the number he wants for raising.
Then he can stop. If the first matches
prove disappointment he can con-
tinue to use his machine a little long
er. Not so the hen. She will often
disappoint one and then make no Sec
ond attempt to make good her prom
ises to bring forth brood
Then, too, the brooder removes the
necessity of making nests for the sit
ting hens. This is large task where
hundreds of birds are to be raised.
Frequently the nests of the sltters in
terfere with the placing of nests for
laying purposes. The care OF the hens
is certainly as great as is the care OF
the incubator, and after one becomes
expert with the incubator the care
is less. The care of an incubator
lessons in proportion as we get ac-
quainted with it, which can scarcely
be said of the hen. We have referred
only to the use of the incubator in the
spring, as the fall use relates to the
production of broilers, which is
business almost of itself The incu.
bator also makes it possible to get
the birds out of the shell in time to
develop into winter layers before the
snow flies. .-...-

A Few Sheen.

In looking over some reports Of
sheep on farms we are struck with
the fact that in some Of our states
not one half of the good-sized farms
carry any sheep. In the old days it
was assumed that every farmer had
at least few sheep. We believe that
to-day it would be better for the
farms and better for the whole popu
lation of the country if every farm
had small flock Of sheep. 1t ap-
pears to us that small flock of sheep
could be kept in the summer time
at least at almost no cost and with
great benefit to the arabic portions
of the farms. The husbandman works
to get the weeds out of lis Inlaule
fields, but the whole length of the
pasture fence is a mass of weeds on
the side of the pasture and from their
tops blow millions of weed seeds
every year. The sheep would keep
most Of these weeds down and thus
destroy the source from which the
fields get their annual supply of weed
seeds. One reason why farmers do
not keep more sheep is that dogs are
destructive to the fiocks; but as these
ravages occur generally in the night
the trouble is obviated by penning the
sheep at night. The matter of fences
is another cause that deters some,
but fence that is hog proof and
horse proof is generally sheep proof
During the last few years there has
been a steady decline in the sheep
growing industry in every state ex-
cept one east of the Mississippi. This
condition of affairs is profitable Meth
er to the nation nor the farmer.

live stock Industry Working South.

1--we stock Industry Working South.
Gradually our live stock interests
are working southwark though they
have not as yet reached in very con-
siderable degree even the more south
erly limits of what we are pleased to
call the Northern States. We have
noticed this gradual movement in Illi-
nois during the last ten years. At
the present time traveller in South
ern illinois Is struck by the compare
lively few cattle to be met with there,
yet he will also notice that the num-
Der is much larger than it was few
years ago. Here and there stock
farms have been established that are
being looked up to by the farmers of
the vicinity, most of whom have no
stock to speak Of In the very south
ern part of the state the writer passed
one farm on which was a fine herd
of Herefords. A man of the neigh
borhood said: Eyes, Judge - is
beginning to get something from his
stock farm now, though for some
years he put two dollars into it for
every one he took out. But he was

1t is in fine condition. But then he
was a judge and his salary helped run

This points double lesson. First,
that the belief must be inculcated into
the farmers of those sections that live
stock is good thing, and, second,
that 1T takes capital to tide over the

Pics in Prison.

In the older parts of the country
it has been the practice to keep the
pigs shut UP from birth to maturity.
A little pen in the barn was thought
to be sufficient and sometimes there
was even no yard for the pigs to run
out in. The said pen was sometimes
only six or eight feet square. Here
the pigs were kept close prisoners.
No wonder that troubles like thumps
were common with pigs so treated.
10 some extent this practice still
remains. There is no question that
swine should be given room for exer-
else, even if no pecuniary advantage
can be figured from it. None of our
farms are so small that there is not
an abundance Of room for the yard
that should be connected with every
pig pen. The larger the yard the
better, and if it is large enough to
be divided into sections in which
green stuff may be grown alternately,
it will be the more profitable.

A Manipulated Test.

Reports from Vermont say that at
one Of the creameries in that state
little unpleasantness has been occa-
stoned by the discovery that two OF
the patrons had been working a
slight-of-hand trick on the cream
gatherer and had continually substi-
tuted test bottles filled with very
rich cream for the bottles containing
the samples of cream from the prod
uct of the patrons in question. One
man had thus secured from the
creamery payments in excess of a
thousand dollars not belonging to him.
At last the creamery officials began
to suspect that something Of the kind
was being done and laid trap for
these patrons. The two were caught
at the trick and means taken to SO.
cure repayment of the money thus
fradulently secured.

Disinfecting Curing Rooms.

Canadians that have charge of num-
bers of curing rooms follow the prac.
tice of washing the shelves with some
disinfectant before putting on each
batch of cheese. Both formalin and
corrosive sublimate are used. The
formalin is used at strength of one
part of formalin to ten of water and
the corrosive sublimate at the rate
of one part of the poison to 1000 OF
water by weight. The formalin is
certainly less dangerous than the
other. The object of the treatment
is to prevent the development Of mold
spores, which make so much trouble
in many Of the places where cheese
is ripened.

Feeding Pigs and Hogs When Being
Pastured

1t is always doubtful If it pays to
try to feed swine on pasture alone,
though this is often done. Pigs will
make growth on pasture, especially
if it contains much clover; but we
doubt if the farmer is getting as
much out of it as he would be If
he fed the animals an additional ra-
ton of a more concentrated feed.
In a state of nature the animal is
compelled to get its living from the
heritage Of the fields and from the
roots in the ground, but in such a
state it never develops enough flesh
and fat to make it a profitable product
for our meat trade. Its growth is
then slow and it's development mus
cular. 1t becomes wiry. No one
wants to eat meat from a wiry hog.
So we have to swing away from ma.
ture, and so feed that the texture of
the flesh of the animal will be tender.
To get this, quick growth is desired
and this can only be obtained by push
ing the development by the feeding
of rations in addition to those OBJ
tainable by the animal in the woods
and fields.

system In Eeedina.


Animals cannot get the best results
from their feed unless it Is given
them regularly and in quite uniform
portions. Every farmer should have
a regular system for the feeding of
his farm animals, whether the ami
mails be the ones used for the produc-
ton of meat and milk or for the pro-
duction Of force to be expended in
labor. Irregular meals are as bad for
animals as for human beings The d.
Sestive systems adapt themselves to
certain habits and seem to be as
much opposed to irregularity as If
they were sentient beings. On many
farms there is no system of feeding
and the results obtained are poor.
One man will work his horses for
hours beyond their regular meal
times. During the last hour or so the
animal is losing vigor rapidly. He is
given food when his strength is partly
exhausted. The stomach had not the
vigor of digestion that it had at the
regular eating time, and the result is
more or less disarrangement, some
times resulting in the imperfect diges.
ton of the food taken. This is a mat
ter that every human being has ex.
perienced himself. The results are
far more disastrous than we have
been led to suppose. The fact is cas-.
Ter to establish than the reason for it.
The COW, the pig, and the sheep, when
depending on man to do the feeding
fare best and thrive best when their
food comes in accordance with reg
ular system. 1t is not so much q
question Of how many meals an ami
NAL has a day as of their regularity.
