FALL CATTLE FEEDING.
Corn ON tAe Stalk Good Starter Fer
Patching.


Fattening.
The most satisfactory feed, price con-
Bide"ed. for fall feeding is fodder corn,
by which is meant corn on the stalk,
says FL. r. Smith of the University Of
Nebraska in Breeders Gazette. Such
corn can be scattered on the grass OF
fed in tight bOttomed racks. Feeding
in racks is preferable, because pigs run
ming behind cattle to pick up droppings
are not then able to muss the corn.
About five pounds of corn per steer il
safe to start with. This may be late
In September or early in October, &C.
cording to the season. Fodder corn can
be fed just as soon as the kernels are
hard, while the stalks are yet fairly
green-in other words, when sufficient
ly ripe to put in the shock. This feed
should be increased gradually so long
as the cattle consume the leaves and
upper part of the stalk.
1t is reasonable to suppose that they
will take eight or nine pounds of corn
each per day along with about that
weight of stalk accompanying the corn.
There will be consumed with this con-
adorable grass pasture, which, if either
blue grass or clover, will supply suf-
icient protein to make up what is def.
cient in the corn fodder.
When winter sets in and grass is no
longer available in the field the cattle
should be placed in a feed lot Of mod
crate size provided with shed open
on tie side of prevailing winds. The
open lot without wind protection is too
cold for economical gains in northern
attitudes. On the other hand, there is
also danger of too much warmth. Base
ment barns or sheds closed Oh all sides
make fattening cattle uncomfortably
warm. This is especially true when
cattle are in good flesh.
Due regard should also be given to
fresh water supply and drainage. Mud
dy yards are not conducive to good
gains. Steers which are tempted to lie
down when not eating at the rack are
always making better use of the feed
given them. They will not lie down as
much as they should if the yards are
in bad condition. The liberal use Of
bedding is a saving of feed.
Half a full feed of corn on the stalk,
supplemented with either good clover,
alfalfa or cowpea hay. is very efficient
and economical ration for early win
ter feeding. Should the further in
crease of corn be in the shape of fod-
der corn it vii! mean either waste Of
stalk or failure to consume sufficient
hay to supply protein requirements.
Rather than cut down the supply of
protein rich roughness by feeding ex-
cessively on stalks, substituting in its
stead commercial protein concentrates
like oilmeal. 1t is ordinarily cheaper to
Introduce at this stage snapped corn
or ear corn. A gradual substitution Of
snapped corn for fodder corn will now
increase the proportion of concentrates,
which is desirable as fattening pro.
crosses. At the same time as much
clover. alfalfa or cowpea hay is being
consumed as formerly. A steer weigh
ing 900 to 1000 pounds will consume
about eight pounds per day of such
hay, which amount will satisfactorily
meet protein requirements.

THE VETERINARY

The proper treatment is to empty the
stomach as quickly as possible. Put
the horse in place where it cannot in
jure itself and remove all food. Give
very little water, and give dose of
purgative medicine as follows: Six
drains Barbados aloes, one pint raw
linseed oil. Mix well and give as one
dose. AS soon as he is sufficiently re-
covered give him walking exercise. II
the purgative does not work in the
course of twenty-four hours, give in
jections of warm water and soft soap
every hour until thorough operation
is obtained. Feed lightly on bulky
food, such as dry hay, but no clover,
and half bucketfIl Of bran mash
morning and evening. To avoid the
disease feed but little grain, but plenty
OF dry hay and good feed Of bran
mash at least three times week.
Tapeworm In Lambs.
Tapeworms are often the cause of
death. After fasting give each lamb
in four ounces of new milk the fol-
lowing medicine: Oil of male fern, one
half dram; powdered areca nut, one
dram; turpentine, one dram; mix. Fol
low with dose of castor oil. In drench-
ing lambs set the patient on rump and
give the medicine from bottle to the
neck of which is attached a four inch
length Of rubber hose. 1t is always
safest to dose one or two lambs expert
mentally, note results and decrease or
increase dose as found necessary in
treating rest Of flock. Twice the above
amount of medicine is the proper dose
for an adult sheep. AS soon as posi-
BILE give lambs access to the seeds and
pulp Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Gazette.
scours In Pigs.
The treatment for this disease varies,
according to the nature. First of all,
investigation should be made as to the
kind, quality and quantity of food that
Is fed. Careful investigation of this
matter will soon remove the cause.
1t Is not advisable to give an active
purgative. Better results can be OBJ
tanned by giving mild laxative in the
form Of teaspoonful Of f1axseed in
the feed. Charcoal and salt should be
given freely and ground bone in teas
spoonful doses.-Dr. A. L. Peters Of
Nebraska Experiment Station.

silage For Beef Making

Professor Soule of the Tennessee ex-
pertinent station in Il recent letter says;
1.-THE relative feeding value of the dry
foods as compared with silage for beef
making is shown in the following state
days SS7 pounds, on corn slower go
pounds, on sorghum fodder 692 pounds
and on Kaffir corn 624 pounds. Silage
thus had practically onethird greater
feeding value than corn stover.

Worth While.

Whatever adds in even the smallest
way to the worlds brightness and
cheer is worth while. One who says
an encouraging word to disheartened
neighbor, gives look of love to a
lonely one or speaks a sentence which
1may become strength, guidance and
comfort to another does something
worth while. 1t is always worth while
to live nobly, VIGOROUSLY, struggling to
do right, showing the world even the
smallest fragments Of divine beauty.

| sides, the spring narrowing usually has
better chance to make the greater
growth before the usual breeding age
! of eight months.
| / regard it as a waste of time to hold
| young sow for breeding till later than
eight months old.
Before commencing to feed new corn
to fatten the spring narrowing for mar
ket the sows that are to be put in the
breeding herd should be selected and
taken out. 1t is easy to get them fatter
on new corn in a short time than they
should be when bred. II very fat when
bred, they are apt to produce a small
litter in number and unsatisfactory in
quality, and after this start the owner
( feels uncertain as to what they will do
in the future.
| II a young sow produces large lit
ter at first narrowing the owner has
much confidence in her as to her fu-
ture value. This being true, we should
do all in our power to care for and
treat the sow in way to give her an
opportunity to establish this confidence

| On good pasture with light grain

reproductive organs and grow strong

Size of Sows.
Careful selection of brood sows has
been the foundation of most of our
success. We gathered lot Of brood
sows that were prolific, good mothers
! and feeders and uniform in size and
form. AS to size, the writer has but
little sympathy with the advocates Of
medium size. The tendency is ever
downward at best. If one has a large
and roomy SOW and otherwise well pro-
portioned let not an inch in the length
of her nose or the droop or length Of
ear or few spots, white, black or red,
deter from retaining her. 1t matters
little. In packers chamber all will be
unseen. Leave such points to the breed

| Weigh the influences of the sire. If
they are faulty throughout the herd
discard him; if not, retain him and
change with your neighbor, if circum-
stances permit, to avoid injudicious in
breeding, but don't discard sire for

breeder, says a farmer in Farm, Stock
! and Ranch. His age of two, three or
| four years. combined with his record
for getting healthy, vigorous pigs,
should be an inducement for any neigh
borhood to retain him. But if one is

GUST THE DEMON.
A TussIe with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
j wreaks it's fiendish malice on those
who use it.
A lady writing from Calf says:-
My husband and l, both lovers OF
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. in my own case there was
eventually developed some sort of af-
lection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
Il was unable to hold my head up
Gtraight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as
TO what caused the trouble, until a
friend suggested that possibly the cot
fee We drank had something to do
with it, and advised that we quit it
and try Postum Coffee.
1--WE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in
a very short time both of us were
entirely relieved. The nerves became
ceased, the muscles IL the back of my
neck relaxed, my head Strengthened
up and the dreadful pain that had SO
punished me while l used the old kind
of coffee vanished.
We have never resumed the use OF
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the
lformer beverage. And we are de-
lighted to find that we can give it
freely to our children also, something
we never dared to do with the old

Their assertions are modest as COM
pared to most of the cereal food cd

reasoning is certainly rational; here
is some of it:
I'VE all believe that Wheat is tho

Pillsbury's Vitos is nothing more
nor less than the white heart of this
wheat kernel, cut out by steel ma

cooking.
This product comes to your table

Easily digested because it retains
its granular form when cooked, never
lumpy or pasty.
A two pound package makes twelve
pounds of pure white cooked food, and
