The Englishman lives in house
which in all probability his father and
his fqfefathers have lived in for a
dozen generations. Even where the
house is not owned by the resident,
the preferential right descends from
father to son to rent and occupy it.
It is a true home.
Americans are strongly imbued
with the idea of owning homes,
houses with accompanying plots of
land; but as a rule Americanrare all

Balanced Rations for Man and

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 matter which every farmer
is studying more or less closely, TIE
more successful ones the most closely,
since 1t 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 Observation-Disclosures Bulletin %.
What is known as a balanced ration
is always the thing to be attained.
Food is divided into two general
