berry in itself comes very near being
balanced ration. II 1t is robbed of
its gluten, which lies next to the skin,
1t is no longer a complete food. Pota-
toes are extremely one-sided and
should be eaten in connection with
some heterogeneous food, such as lean
meat or beans, which, however, if
eaten alone would afford the system
too much nitrogen. This bulletin,
which is written by woman, also dis
cusses the practical side of bread MAX

Balanced RafiOns for Man and
Beast.

Two Farmers Bulletins of the De-
partment of agriculture, widely dis
similar in contents, yet treating of sub
jects which have a closely-connected
relationship are the Feeding Of Farm
Animals and the Principles Of Bread
Making, and both of them have proven
so popular that their reprinting has
been required several times.
The feeding of the animals on the
farm is a matter which every farmer
is studying more or less closely, tie
more successful ones the most closely,
since it is a matter Of constant expert
ment and inquiry to determine just
what is the best ration for work, meat
and dairy animals. While each mans
experience must be to a great extent
his guide, there are certain laws, the
results of wide experiments, which af-
ford much aid to the intelligent feeder
and these are summarized in the bulle-
tin entioned-Farmers' Bulletin %.
What is known as balanced ration
is always the thing to be attained.
Food is divided into two general
classes; fat and heat producing,

year, while they were building their
house.
They at once planted a garden
which seemed to item like a real
farm after their tiny back yard, and
the first year they raised all the veg
etables they could eat, besides over
fifty chickens.
And since then they have gone on
identifying and embellishing this
place, until 1t is now lovely country
residence, twenty per cent. higher in
value than it would have been If, FIVE
years ago they had made 1T a mere

In the first place they employed an

which, with ordinary repairs, will
stand in good shape fifty years hence.
They painted it well. Many long

there would have been a lot more in

And so it is everywhere 1t matters
little, If you live in brown stone

have a plain or a carved window sill,

If as a people we could become ed
