One of the early French investiga-
tors compared oats and an equal vol
ume of rye boiled until the grain
burst. The results were not favor
able to cooking the feed. According
TO another of his tests. 30.S pounds
Of mashed steamed potatoes could not
replace IL pounds of hay. The pota-
toes were mixed with cut straw and
fed cold. 1t is often claimed that
cooking feed increases it's palatability
and digestibility. The general con-
clusion drawn from tests with farm
animals is that this belief is not war
ranted, and that the cost of cooking
is not made up for by the increased
value Of the ration. 1t has been stat
ed on good authority that boiled feed
Is useful for colts, brood mares and
stations if fed two or three times per
week, and that draft horses which are
being prepared for sale or for exhibit
ton may be given cooked feed once
a day with advantage. An excellent
feed for horses. it is said. may be
made by boiling barley and oats in a
kettle with considerable water and
pouring the mass over chaffed hay
allowing the whole to stand until the
hay is well softened Bran, roots and
a small quantity OF oil meal may be
ADDED also.-Bulletin 10, U. S. Dept

Stable Ventilation.

At the last state dalrymen's con
Jention in Wisconsin, W. ID. Hoard
said: A few years ago when built

$3.50 One of my neighbors said to
ne that he did not see how l could
afford to do that. | replied that il
man should come along and give the
COWS of any man paris green or any
other kind of animal Or vegetable
poison he would be prosecuted. But
the farmer himself will poison his
rows with bad air and think nothing
Of 1t. We must wake to realization
Of this fact. Now the expenditure OF
$3.50 for a good ventilating system is
not large matter. The interest on
that amount at per cent IS only $21
per year, and that is what the ven
tilating system really costs me. If |
didn't have the money myself | could
borrow 1t from my neighbor at 6 per
cent. That $21 is a very small sum to
pay for the furnishing of pure air to
stable 142 feet long and SO feet
wide, l have found that this costs
only little over 40 cents per animal.
We keep cows in the stable for about
200 days out of the year, and should
we refuse them the expenditure of 40
cents each to keep them in pure air?
l am sure tht get back at least ten
times 40 cents in the increased eff
fectiveness of each COW. do not
think that ever made an expenditure
on my farm that paid better interest
than that ventilating system. All this
winter the temperature in my stable
has not dropped below so to So de-

estimates of cost made in the vicinity
OF the Iowa Agricultural College may

6inch, $37; S-inch. $5S; 1O-inch, $S5 !;

Colored Rouen Ducks.

Colored Rouen ducks are becoming
every year more popular in this coun-
try. They are supposed to have had
their origin in the city of Rouen in
Normandy. At least they must have
been raised largely there before they
were exported to this country. The
Rouen duck is fine market bird but
does not mature so early as do the
Pekins and the Aylesburys. 1t is
hardy and prolific and has quiet dis
position. The eggs, however, are not
as large as are those of the Pekin
duck, and lack uniformity of color. 1t
is believed to be closely related to the
Mallard duck, and this belief Is
strengthened by its plumage. The
standard weight of the drake is nine
pounds and of the mature duck eight
pounds.

Swine Feed Points.

Spring litters can be handled to ad-
vantage. as they can have the run Of
grass and clover lots, In addition to
the pasturage, little soft food should
be fed. and the corn ration should be
very small Bran and middlings, aud
oil meal in small quantities, may en-
ter into the ration. Wood ashes and
charcoal are profitable adjuncts to
the feeding rption. Charcoal may be
easily obtained from charred corn
cobs. The excessive feeding of corn
should be avoided, as lis certain that
a good frame cannot be built up on
such a one sided ration
