Effect of the War in Europe.

There is not a peasant IN Europe so

burdens. according to a Russian writer
in the Northern Review of StoGkholm,
who says in Il recent publication: The

between citizens of different countries,
and thus, not only is the knowledge,

Partisan and the japanese. AT the

BUILDING CHEAP POULTRY

Attention has been called to he

beautiful in the form of architecture.

SELECTING SEED CORN.

While the writer believes that the
selection of the seed corn should be all
through the growing season rather
than at the time of %ripening. if this has
not been lone 1T is an excellent plan to
save the seed corn at the time of husk-
ing or soon after. If selected at husk-
ing time much labor is saved later.
Most of my n%eighbors have a basket
into which they throw selected ears
as they husk: these ears are placed
later by themselves in a portion of the
Darn where 1t is warm and then leisure
days are spent in reselecting, going
over the pile and selecting the very
choicest ears. These are then removed
to another portion of the barn or some
place reserved for seed storage, where
it is dry but not sufficiently warm to
shrivel the kernels. If the corn Is
damp after this second selection 1t
should be spread out on the floor and
we'll dried out before being placed in
the store room. This method of Sc
lecting and caring for the seed corn is
not hard and the result will be a splen.

HIGH CORN, BETTER HOGS.

Whenever the crop of corn is high
enough so that the grower is tempted
to turn a part of his crop into money
then he is forced to feed his hogs
something besides corn, with the result
that they are the better for it. The
writer had IN experience of this kind
when floods destroyed his corr crop
n it became necessary to buy grain
for all the stock. Not until that time
would it ave been possible to persuade
us that any feed was better for hogs

bought we concluded to test the, to us,
theory and the rauon that year con-
sisted of Dol one-third corn until we
approached the fattening season. Dur
ing the season the hogs had the range
and their indoor feed was all sorts
of grain mixed, whatever could be
bought at lowest prices. not the very
best way to feed, of course, but it was,
apparently, better than the all corn
diet. A close record of cost was kept
and we found that by reason of the
act that we We're able to market the
hogs considerably earlier owing to the
ration, the expense of raising them was
less than when corn was cheap. Since
then we have sold q portion of the corn
crop for what 1t would bring and put
the cash into a variety Of grains; then

FEEDING COWS LITERALLY.

1t has been demonstrated time and
again that in order to make the dairy
COW pay she must have heavy feeds of
Well balanced rations. Indeed, statis-
tics show that a COY fed on about thir-
teen pounds of digestible material daily
made a profit of 8 cents a day for her
owner, while one fed on nearly sixteen
pounds made a profit OF nearly % cents
a day. While this may not seem rea-
sonable it is so when W. consider that
each animal requires a certain amount
of food to enable it to exist in good
health and the amount the COW eats
beyond this she converts into milk. If
the amount received beyond what is
necessary for her existence is small
the milk return will be small: if the
amount be liberal the milk return Will
be liberal and every ounce of this adj
ditional food counts heavily in the net
result. This is why it is found that
heavy feeders among COWS are the
most profitable. 1t is worth While for
any dairyman to work out this prob
lem for himself along this line, bearing
in mind that the cow that is a heavy
eater is also a heavy drinker. and wa
ter, clean and fresh, with the chill re-
moved In winter, should be supplied
literally. If handled in the manner
suggested together with a clean, com
Portable stable, it will be surprising
what results win be obtained. 1t may

sacrifice. At II rate it is worth con
