COOKED OR UNLOCKED FOOD
EGR STOCK.

Those who have tested the use of cooked
n unlocked foods for stock, more par
ticularly for swine, agree that the UNI
cooked foods are by far the most diges-
tible. This opinion would delight the veg
etarians who urge upcooked fruits and
vegetables as being more wholesome. Yet
there are two sides to the story as usual.
There seems to be no denying the value
of the unlocked food, with animals at any
rate, but we all know that a quantity OF
raw fruits and vegetables eaten by hu-
mans during the summer is apt to create
a disturbance Of the digestive organs. Not
always does ii cause a looseness Of the
bowels. but acid.ty of the stomach which
is very painful. Is ii not fair to assume
that il uncooked food has this effect on
the human stomach that It must have
some a effect ON he tomach of h
farm animal? This may be a little far
fetched, but experience has taught the
writer thai without exception one warm
meal a day during the winter is beneficial
TO the animals. Even u horses have a
warm brain mash and 1t has been well
cooked, too. The poultry nave the warm
cooked mash and the hot corn at night
every other day and thrive on 1t. This
being our experience our argument is that
animals should have cooked food OCCASION
ally but that most of their meals should

MAKING A EIRM FARM GATE.

When a gate is Of considerable length,
as farm gates must be TO let a wagon
pass through. there Is always danger
that they will sag, and mainly because
the device used for the latch is faulty.
Try the following plan of constructing a
latch and see IL II does not work well:
Have the blacksmith bend "a piece Of half
inch round iron in T. shape, making one
arm o~ne-quarter OF an inch longer han
the thickness Of the post and the gate
board the other arm should be about ten
inches long. Bore a hole through the

MARKETING POULTRY PROFIT
ARlY


If the poultry raised for market have
been well raised it is worth all possible
care to dress them so they will show up TO
the best advantage. Whether the birds
are drawn or not viii depend upon the de-
mands OF the market, although private
consumers will be glad to have this UNI
pleasant work done for them and to pay
for II. In dressing the carcass be careful
not to bruise he skin and always remove
the pin feathers before marketing the
birds. If there is . possibility of working
up a good trade among private consumers,
tt is worth while TO try some fancy ideas,
such as cutting off the feet and tying the
legs together with clean white cord or
even ribbon. Try wrapping each carcass
in a square of clean white cloth or even IN
heavy tissue oiled paper; be sure and have
the oiled paper so it will not cling to the
carcass. The clean cloth is the best, how
ever, and you'li be surprised to see how
dainty people will take TO the idea and 10
your profit.
CARING FOR HOUSE PETS.
While this item may not belong strictly
to this department, It certainly applies TO.
farmers who have cats and dogs, as well
as city people who keep these pets. IL
is a lamentable fact that more than one
half the people who nave pet cats and dogs
treat them cruelty. A harsh charge, per-
haps, but here are the facts with which
all must agree. DO not all of us know OF
some family where a pet dog or eat IS
kept and permitted to be around the
house for a considerable period a day,
receiving more or less petting from both
children and adults. and at night these
animals are coolly turned out of doors 10
find shelter as best they may? Ii would
be charity not to permit the animal to
enter the house at all, FOR then 1t might
become injured to the cold and be better
able to stand it. The writer has in mind
n beautiful cat who is loved and petted by
the member OF the family until it has de-
veloped remarkable intelligence. 1t is al
lowed in the house each day at intervals
and at night is kept in the cellar where
Is located the furnace. A brother of this
cat Is owned by another person who cares
for It most beautifully during the day,
but promptly turns il out of doors at
night. The animal is dull, scrawny and
generally d~ilapidated. Children should be
taught ia. care for the cat and dog. pro-
vided these animals are kept for the
amusement and pleasure OF the children.
