Balanced Rations 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 matter which every farmer
is studying more or less closely, tAe
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 D..
What is known as q balanced ration
is always the thing to be attained.
Food is divided into two general
classes; fat and heat producing,

second-growth timber. In twenty years
the English home Is covered with ivy
and has the appearance of subtanti-
atty and solidity, as though 1t had al
ways been there and intended remain
ing. If you mention twenty years
hence" to the American, he will shrug
his shoulders and smile and tell you
he expects to be somewhere else in
twenty years, If he has not bettered
his condition and gotten out Of 1t in
half that time. But twenty years
pass more quickly than is expected
and what does the place look like
then? 1t has had perhaps three coats
of paint The second set of shingles
is curling up and needs replacing and
the house itself is worth one-half Of
its value when new.
Yet it must be agreed that every
man should build q house with the
idea of making it his permanent
home, adding to it as his needs grow,
but continually improving it and
beautifying it. If for no other cause
than increasing it's selling value, he
should build well and improve. And
this applies to the surrounding
grounds, the outbuildings, ETC., fully
as much as the home proper.
what is home without a MOTHER
and a good wife and children? What
is home, would add, even with these
blessings, unless it is a real home, a
comfortable and a beautiful one?
All, there is a difference, and such a
wide difference, between an abode or
a mere dwelling place and a home.
Trying to treat this matter from a
practical standpoint the Department
of Agriculture recently issued an IL
lustra ted bulletin on identifying back
yards. This applied to city and su-
burban homes, but the idea is the
same everywhere.

And this calls to mind a practical IL
lustration of what a good thing 1t is,
what a splendid thing, to start In
growing something in your back yard,
If you have nothing bigger. For L
have in mind two people, young
man and his wife, who started their
married life in a rented city house
with back yard Is feet wide and
containing about one-fortieth Of an
acre. They had lived in the city all
their lives and knew nothing of the
wonders Of plant and animal produc-
ton. But they commenced at once
to use their ground. They planted
radishes and lettuce and some flow
jers and trained tomatoes against the
fence, and they set a hen. Their fail
ures and interesting experiences dur
ing the two years they lived thus
would fill volume. But the great re-
suit was that before the end of the
first year, they who had never lived
outside their four walls, felt terribly
confined. They longed to get out and
have enough land to grow more
things, to make a genuine garden and
TO nurture and rear and reap the
things which they ate. And so they
moved into the country, hardly the
real country yet; but they bought
half an acre just beyond the city out

known as carbohydrates, and muscle
and bone producing, known as nitro
genous, and these two foods should be
supplied the animal in the proper pro-
portion. If there is a preponderance
Of either, the ration is unbalanced.
Both of these bulletins can be OBJ
tanned free through members Of con-
gress or senator's, or by writing to
the Secretary of Agriculture at Wash
ington.
Corn, for instance, is a food rich in
carbohydrates and should be "bal-
anced" by a portion Of some nitroge-
nous food such as barley, bran, cow
peas or others Of the legumes. A pc
rusal of this bulletin will give the
reader very clear understanding OF
the value of food for animals.
Food Value of Bread.
The second bulletin on Bread Max
ing, Farmers Bulletin 112, also goes
into the question Of what is a balanced
ration, but for human food. AS corn
and corn fodder is fat-producing
food for animals, so corn bread is a
one-sided diet for man and while 1t
produces fat and energy or fuel for
the body does not tend to give him
the same capacity for endurance that

handsome and well-built homes. The
care and attention given to this place
may in itself have brought good
neighbors.
A good lawn was made, shade and
fruit trees were Immediately set out
and sedulously cared for, the man has
become an expert gardener the chick
en- business has become an important
adjunct, furnishing not only an ample
meat supply, but a considerable ad-
ditional income from eggs, broilers
and capons. The fruit trees are be-
ginning to bear and the berry lushes
have long since yielded fresh fruit for
the table and jellies and jams for
winter. The place is constantly i'm
proving and being improved.
The interior of the house was well
finished to commence with. Room
after room has since been furnished
and beautified as means admitted.
For making this move, for adopting
this change in their modes of life, this
couple are better people; they are bet
ter citizens, they are broader, they
know more, they are happier and they
are richer in two senses. They make
more money and they save more.
They buy less of canned vegetables
and meats and they have more to
spend In improving their place and

The Englishman lives in a house
which in all probability his father and
his forefathers 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 1t.
IT is true home.
Americans are strongly imbued
with the idea of owning homes,
houses with accompanying plots Of
land; but as a rule Americans are all
too careless, at the same time, about
creating a bit of scenery or making
the home such an attractive abode as
will cause the traveller to pause
moment and exclam: "What a pretty

The Tacoma Ledger of November rs
contains the following
1.-The Hawaiian Islands were left for
the return trip November 10. At that
time, state the officers of the Nebras-
kan, the papers of all the principal
cities of the islands were devoting a
great deal of space to bubonic plague
scare. They report that the quarantine
regulations were being enforced to the
very letter and that a great deal was
to be heard about the spread of the
plague. The officers are not of the
opinion that there is a great deal of
the disease in the country however,
and charge most of the scare to the
newspapers. The bubonic plague all
ways exists, they say, in the islands,
but is usually confined to the lower
classes, the natives, Chinese and Jap
anese residents. At the time the Ne
braskan was in Honolulu, the disease
seemed to have spread to a few fami-
lies of Europeans and that was the
probable reason for the scare"
