EXTRAS FOR MICH COWS.

On the farm of the writer is young
woman who is fond of tid-bits and
who cannot understand why animals
should not have tid-bits in their line.

10y some of the de1icacies she is in
he habit of preparing daily what she
,alls plate of salad for each OF the
seven cows. This salad is composed
if the parings from vegetables and
fruit, small potatoes from the bins and
tut slices of mangle wurtzels. She
sets the quantity together carefully,
washes it, then mixes through it
little oil meal, and after dividing it
into equal portions it is given to the
COWS. For a time the hard headed
farmers of the home looked upon this
work with an indulgent smile, but af-
ter time the milk seemed richer and
the quantity materially increased.
A test, or rather repeated tests,
showed that both quality and in
creased quantity was a fact and not
imagination. Then the work was
taken up seriously and business
made of feeding these animals along
the line started by the animal loving
young woman. In cold figures it has
been found that the profit paid good
round sum for the material and labor.
This is but another proof that it Is
hard to realize what may be obtained
from an animal in one way and anoth-
er by intelligent study of it's wants
until one has tried it.

business as the merchant studies his,
then we may expect to see returns
that will be really startling compared

FEEDING BROOD sows.

1t is we'll known that more care in
selecting feed for brood sows is re-
qu;red than for ordinary feeding, in
order to have the best results for both
sows and their filters. Prof. Henry,
of the Wisconsin station, referring to
this matter in the Breeders Gazette,
recommends grinding corn and oats
together He says
Grind part of both corn and oats
and feed in the form of slop. Ar
range also to feed some whole shelled
corn and some whole oats. The oats
furnish considerable protein essential
to building up bone and muscle. Ar
range to give at least one-half oats
and other remainder of corn. The
bulls of the oats give the material
bulk and thus help distend the ami
mails digestive tract-a matter of con-
siderable importance in the success

animals cannot be heavily fed. Their
digestive tract must therefore remain
either partially collapsed for want of
volume to the food if richly .concen-
trated foods are used, or the disten-
sion must be effected by feeding much
water in sloppy foods, or wisely by
the use of foods possessing considera-
BILE bulk or volume. The oat hulls

influential counsel in favor of square
ness, industry, perseverance and sim.

Philosophy.

Real principle lies in what we feel,
not in what we say or think about.
If not for the night we would never
know or appreciate the day.
Take courage" are two very sinh
pie words, but in meaning they en-
circle the world.
In the silent inner realm of the IN.
dividual soul our lite is understood
and directed to its destiny.
AS the rose absorbs its beauty and
fragrance from the sunlight, mar
absorbs the blessings of lite living IN
the light of allowing heart.
If not for the ever recurring impulses
of hope, life would not be worth the
struggle. for in each heart is a castle
within whose silent walls are our
ideals and images that we bow be

DIPPING SHEEP FOR TICKS.
1t seems as if it ought not to be
necessary to advise sheep raisers to
dip the sheep before they go into win
ter quarters in the fall but the many
complaints received each winter OF
sheep doing poorly, owing to the pres.
ence of the ticks, is evidence that the
advice to dip is not needed. This
work ought to have bene done before,
but if the weather is still warra and
pleasant, it should by all means be
done at once. Do tie work just as it
is done in the spring, using any rip
that has been found satisfactory.
Even if the weather turns trifie cold
! after the dipping has been done no
harm will be done if one is careful to
properly protect the sheep from chill
ing drafts of air and keep them in
closed shed or stable that is quite
warm until they are thoroughly dry.
1t is worth some trouble to have the
sheep free from this pest, which re-
duces its vitality and prevents it from
getting the most from its food.-In
