Menaaerle Menus.

Catering to animals requires both a
plentiful and varied supply Of foods,
as may be seen from this report Of
material fed at the London Geological
Gardens last year.
For tho flesh eating guests there
were supplied 144 tons Of horse flesh,
nearly nine tons of goat flesh and $3.50
chicken heads. Fourteen and a half
tons of fish, in addition to 1860 pints Of
shrimps furnished the water fowl with
their daily fare. while 297 loads of hay
and $3.50 lunches of greens supplied
the ruminants.
Other items on the list were 972
pounds of grapes. 49S pounds of sugar.
e.262 loaves Of bread, 5,0S6 quarts OF
milk, 303 pounds Of crackers and more
than thirty-three thousand eggs.
The chicken heads were sor the yari-
GUS members of the rat family, the
eggs were fed to the birds and the
shrimps formed the easiest way to the
affections Of the famingoes.

Cost Of Making Beef.

1t has been accepted as proved that
the younger an animal the lower is
the cost of putting on flesh and fat.
Some experiments have been made to
prove this, but the data are too meag-
er to permit of the building of very
strong arguments on them. Professor
Mumford of the Illinois station has
taken UP the question and is making
an experiment that viii at least add
to the volume of the data if it does
not settle the question, which it prob
ably will not. Herds of various ages
are being fed at the station, and these
will be marketed as fast as ready and
careful reports compiled Of the cost
of gain made on each lot. There is a
point beyond which it does not pay a
farmer to keep an animal. even
though that animal is all the time
gaining in weight The station is
trying to find the point at which
steer feeding must stop, if a profit is
TO be made. Every day after that
point the farmer is losing money and
losing the time he is putting on the
care of the animal.

Nature Studies
Useful

If from infancy farm boy is taught
to love nature and inquire into her
mysteries, he will surely grow to love
country life and the work necessary
to the production of crops and ami
mails. Such boy will not readily
abandon the old homestead and will
be likely to develop into an Intelligent
and successful farmer. We find,
however, that many men go through
the world with their eyes shut. Any
how, we have met many men who
have lived all Of their days in the
country, yet know the names of but
few Of the trees and flowers and birds
of their locality. Such men see no
beauty in nature and are merely in
terested in earthly things and the gold
to be found by raking in the dust.
They miss the inspiration of close
communion with nature and fail Of
perfect success in farming by lacking
the faculty of reading natures coun-
tenance and lessons Alright.
Give us the boy who knows each
bird by the first chirp il utters, finds
pleasure in watching the ways of in
sects, understands the habits of wild
animals, and loves and can name
each wild flower that grows upon the
prairie or in the woodlands. and he
may be developed into the right kind
of farmer by education such as his
soul Graves. Parents can cultivate
these attributes of the successful
farmer-to-be by commencing early 70
direct the young mind in the right
channel. If the love Of nature be
utterly lacking in country boy he
had better be trained for some voca-
tion other than agriculture. II it be
present, its development will keep the
boy and man in the country, and SO
provide the right man for the right
place.
We favor the teaching Of nature
studies and elementary agricultural
science in every country school, but
it should take the form OF simple les
sons that appeal to the young student
and give him actual work to do in
demonstrating the truths Of the les
sons taught. Work that seems play is
lightsome labor; the labor we delight
in physics the pain of work. The
nature work should be largely done
out OF doors. The teacher should be
a naturalist by preference-one that
at least loves nature and understands
her every phase and sign. The out
door teaching is doubly valuable in
that It not only trains the mind but
develops the body and so antedctes
the Ill effects Of long confinement in
school room. The boy and the girl
need lung food as well as brain food.
outdoor exercise is as necessary as
indoor study. Study undertaken out
OF doors may be made beneficial ID

OF daily turning the eggs, manipula-

the eggs are in continuous rotation
during the period of incubation. To
accomplish this he Erovides within the

carry an egg. The latter are held in
position by inclosing bands. AS the

I'VE
STOCK
Baby eeef.

The other day | was asked by
neighbor why II was, If baby beef
was so much in demand by the pack
ers and consumers more of It was not
produced by farmers. / may as well
answer through the Farmers Review.
The chief reason is that most farmers
have not the kind of COWS that can
produce calves able to grow into baby
beef. You can't make baby beef out
of any kind of an animal 1t takes a
calf of fairly good breeding-a high
grade-to grow up into a good sized
animal before the flesh has become
beefy.
To get baby beef making conditions
we must have high grade cows Of the
Durham, Hereford, Angus or Gallo
way breeds. If the grade is way up,
say seven-eighths pure, then we can
hope for calf that will grow rapidly
under good conditions of feed. At the
present time l am not afraid that the
market for baby beef VIII be over
stocked, for know that American
farmers will not greatly change their
ways in this generation. We have
been importing improved breeds for
half lifetime now. and yet most of
our farmers are breeding with moth
ing In sight in the way of standard.
All right, we who have the high
grades will continue for some time
longer putting on the market baby
beef and making money out of it. Not
only is there demand for it here, but
there is a great demand for it in for
eign countries. and that demand is
growing.-Albert Hicks, Cook Co., Ill,

Horse Notes.

For the mare in foal an increased
quantity Of good food is required.
Some farmers object to working
mare in foal but if they are not
worked too much the mares and sub
sequent colts, will do better than if
the mares are left idle in the pasture.
Mares in foal should be worked
regularly and should not be made to
do work that will require hard pulling,
nor should they be kept unusually
long hours at work.
Idleness is not help to the horse
at any time.
The farmer that puts his mare with
foal into box stall. leaves her with
out exercise, and feeds her heavily, is
giving her conditions detrimental to
both her and her unborn foal.
When the horses feed is abundant
exercise should also be abundant
Oats continue to be the best grain
that can be given horse in normal
condition.
BY intelligent feeding all horses
may be kept in a state where little
soctoring will be needed.
As the horse never needs to lay on
fat Except to please the eye) food
rich in protein will be found more
profitable than a ration even slightly
overbalanced on the side of the car.

AVERAGE Stock Prices.

There was a time when the man
that received an average price for the
cattle, horse, or sheep he sent
to market mace money on it.
but that time is not now. Then
land was cheap, labor was cheap. and
grain was cheap. Now all of these
are high. and the average price Of an
animal does not often equal the cost
of the labor and feed that have gone
into him. This condition has grown
upon US till we find ourselves facing
the necessity of working out Of 1t by
producing animals that win sell for
more than they do at present or dis
covering some combination of feeds
and care that will lessen the cost of
production. 1t is well to work along
both lines.

choice cattIe.

One of the most common express.
sions to be met with in the mar
ket reports is choice cattle are
in demand at top and nearly TOP
prices. That is the kind of cattle
that it pays best to raise. 1t does not
take any more time daily to feed an
animal that will make one of the
choice kind than It does to feed one
that will rate far down in the list
Moreover, it will not require so many
days Of care, for It sometimes happens
that the choice animal is one that has
made his growth in a years less time
than the poorer animal The choice
animal is probably always pure
bred animal or high grade.

How Operation Of BIoodletting is Per

How Operation Of Bloodletting is Per
formed.
A curious form of bleeding is in
general use among the Papuans Of
New Guinea, especially among tho
younger men. The bleeding is per
formed by two persons, who sit oppo.
site each other. The operator takes a
small drill Of cassowary bone. attached
to bamboo shoft. and places the point
on vein in the patients forehead.
while the other end is Geld between
the operators finger and thumb. The
drill Is driven by bow, the string Of
which takes one turn round the shaft.
The turning movement of the bow
causes the drill to revolve in alternate
directions. The patient leans forward,
and when the small hole is sufficiently
punctured the drill is removed and the
blood begins to flow profusely on the
ground. A recent explorer states that
he has seen as much as pint allowed
to escape. When faintness supervenes
the wound Is staunched with ashes
or any convenient styptic and the pa
tient sits up. II the ashes fail to act,
cautery with hit cinder is practiced.
Cases Of heart disease or sudden
death are unknown among the natives
and this immunity may be due to the
custom of blood-letting. 1t may be
that this lends color to the theory of
some physicians that the increase Of
heart disease and sudden death in
civilized nations is due to the entire
abandonment of bleeding, once GER
