Beans are seldom used as food for
poultry, and it is doubtful If they
would be relished as much as mash
made with grains of other varieties.
They could no doubt be used to ad-
vantage as portion of the daily mash

Milk Tastes Sweet.

Farmer-Cows fed on wheat and
oats, straw and turnips give milk
which has perceptibly sweet taste.
Would it be caused by the turnips be.
ing frozen and thawed before being
fed?
The character of the food given the
cows is the probable cause of the un.
usual flavor noticed in the milk, al.
though the freezing and thawing of
the roots would not produce such an
influence. The COWS should be given
daily ration of bran, or mixed chops,
and one meal daily of clover hay
would have a good effect, not only
upon the favor of the milk, but the
quantity given as well.

NEW TOWNS.
A Number coming Between
Mexico and Old
Monroe.

The MES SAGE readers are inter
ested in the new railroad being
built between Mexico and Old
Monroe, by the Burlington com
pany. They have issued a bulle-
tin in which, among other things,
they say:
1t is Ga miles in length, forms
with the Burlington line from st.
Louis to Old Monroe, and the G..
& A. line from Mexico, a new
short line-281 miles long-be-
tween st. Louis and Kansas City.
This new line will be used by
both the Burlington and the Alton
which will insure ample and con-
venipnt train service"
They further say tina" the con
tributary to this line is fertile aud
prosperous and is thickly settled
by fine class of people. The new
line will fill a long felt want for
additional transportation facilities,
as most of the towns are far
enough from other railroads to in
sure a good trade within a wide
tributary territory"
The Burlington has the follow
ing to say about the new towns
along the route:
