Value Of erase for Poultry.

Though thoroughly approaching the
value of good grass range, with all
that goes with it in the way of insects,
worms, seeds and exercise, as well as
grass, we would not wish to fully In
dorse the statement as to the saving
in grain effected by a good grazing
ground unless such statement was
supported by details sufficient to dem.
onstrate the correctness of his opin
ion. In our own experience we have
never regarded grass, hay or bulky
green foods as valuable to substitute
for any considerable part of the grain
ration. We have always found that
chickens we'll supplied with green
food and meat food were heartier
feeders Of grain than those fed grain
alone, except in the extreme hot
weather, when, If left to themselves
they will generally eat so much green
stuff and so little grain that both
growth and egg production are
checked.
According to our experience an.
way of estimating values, these acces
series of the grain ration do not so
much economic in actual cost of food
as increase the capacity for digesting
and utilizing the staple grain foods
That is, they increase production. We
have found, too, that they increase it,
as a rule, much more than enough to
pay for the increased cost of food. An
other point to be considered is that
the use Of rations so balanced not only
increases the efficiency of the digest
i've organs, but by preserving their
efficiency prolongs the useful life OF
the fowl. AS Mr.. Strickland says,
bulky ration distending the stomach
serves certain useful ends. The trou
BILE with the all-grain ration is that II
is too concentrated. 1t burns out the
digestive apparatus. Fowls can stand
1t for awhile, and may grow better or
lay better on it than they would on
a ration constaining much green stuff
but they will not last so long.
Some say and think it the better
policy to force the fowls for all they
are worth, and when they are ex
hausted turn them off, but the wisdom
Of that policy is open to doubt. In
deed it has been discredited in many
experiences.
In most northern sections grass can
not be grown during the winter.
Where our winters are quite reliably
"open" enough to give fowls a good
many opportunities for foraging, win
ter rye is the favorite crop for poul
try. and it could be used much more
than 1t Is.

MINERS CARRY GREAT WEIGHTS
Strength of chileans Sustained With
cut Meat Diet.

Strength of chiIeans Sustained With
cut Meat Diet.
Perhaps the greatest weights borne
for any distance are the loads CT ore
brought up from the mines of the An
des by the miners of Chile.
Darwin visited copper mike in a
ravine leading from the main range OF
the Cordilleras, where the work was
carried on by such primitive means
that, though the mines had been
worked in the mountains for at least
two centuries, the water was removed
In some by carrying it up shafts in
leather bags on mems backs.
Sir Francis Head, when visiting a.
similar mine, found that all the ore
was carried up to the surface, ver-
tical climb of $50 feet, by the MINERS
and that the average weight carried
was 250 pounds. This load was not
carried up winding stair, but up
notched trunks of trees, net almost
upright, one touching another.
The food of the Chilean miner, &C.
cording to Darwin, consisted of rations'
of sixteen figs and two small loaves or
bread for breakfast; for dinner boiled
beans; for supper wheat crushed and
roasted. They scarcely ever tasted
meat.

Saving Young Fruit Trees.

As the plant life upon which the
rabbit lives is killed by frost, the
farmer should look to his young fruit
trees. The rabbit is the greatest
enemy to the young orchard and he
sometimes begins his assaults upon
the trees very early in the fall. As
soon as it is noticeable that he is
looking with favor upon the bark Of
the trees, they should be wrapped.
Any printing office can furnish the
farmer at a low cost, with heavy ma
Mia paper. the kind upon which sale
bills are printed. Two or three layers
Of this paper securely tied with bind
