How Milk Helps.

MILK as n feed, when combined with
other feeds, has very much larger
feeding value than when fed by itself.
1t also increases the value of the
other feed. Just how this is, the
scientists have not yet worked out.
Thus an experiment was made in feed
ing 100 pounds of skim milk TO pigs
weighing about 125 pounds That skim
milk, when ted alone, made five pounds
Of pork. Then 100 pounds of corn was
fed alone, and that made ten pounds
of pork. That would indicate that 100
pounds of corn would make fifteen
pounds of pork. But when the two
were fed together the experimenters
were surprised to find that they made
eighteen pounds of pork, or three
pounds more than could be explained.
Thus it is evident that milk in bal
ancing food makes it possible for the
animal to use it to better advantage
than when the grain is used alone.

Practical Poultry Points.

Keep your fowl stock young; old
hens are wholly Improbable to keep.
Cocks as well as hens eat lot OF
food, and no cock is necessary except
during the Matching season.
Grade your eggs as to size; it I'M
proves the sample, and consequently
the price.
Large, loose-feathered hens of the
Cochin or Brahma type lay small eggs,
and but few of them. They are also
large eaters and poor rangers.
Close-feathered, medium-siZed hens
of the Leghorn type are non-stters,
good rangers and great layers.
1t costs nearly as much TO keep hen
that lays eighty eggs in the year as
one that lays 130.
Fowls should not be fed near the
door of your dwelling house, or they
will stand about all day looking for
food.
Fowls roosting in trees and open
buildings seldom lay many eggs, and
those they do lay are often laid astray
and lost.

Clean Grain and Chopped Fodder.

In preparing food for horses it is
important that grain should be properly
cleaned. In a case in which, after a
severe drouth, it was unavoidable to
feed oats containing tares and other
leguminous seeds, symptoms of lathy-
rus poisoning We're noticed in number
of horses. The attacks We're frequent
ly severe and sometimes fatal. When
the oats were properly cleaned this
trouble entirely ceased.
Cleaning further increases the dens-
ity of the oats by removing mineral
matter and dust, which may sometimes
induce attacks of intestinal obstruc-
tions, collie, etc. No advantage appears
to be gained by grinding the grain, as
horses, excepting old ones, prefer n
crush 1t themselves.
For the last five years a prominent
horseman has chopped the coarse fod-
ders, using a ration of equal parts of
hay and straw, and this practice has
been found the most profitable for sew
eral reasons. Thus, straw may be
made to form an integral part Of the
ration, and the proportions of hay and
straw may be accurately regulated
Horses waste much less of such fod-
der, especially if some other material
than straw is used for the bedding

Value of Skim Milk For Pigs.

The experiment station at Cornell
University, New York, has recently
made test on the fedeing of skim
milk to growing pigs with view of
determining its value for pork produc-
ton.

with ration Of grain was worth to
the feeder about three per cent. more

Picking un Shock Corn.

While huskers and shredders are
quite common, the bulk of the shock
corn is still husked by hand. Any one
who has tried it knows what back
breaking job it is TO pick up the corn
and throw it into the wagon. A bet
ter way is 10 take a wide-mouthed
bushel basket fill it, then empty into
wagon. Better still, where two men
are working together, take a good-sized
zinc wash tub and when filed, empty
by each man taking hold of a handle.

Things Not to Do.

A dairy writer tells a contemporary

everything about butter making, as
something new is being discovered
every month. Not only from our own
work are we continually learning, but
Of others.
2. We do not keep COW that makes
less than 200 pounds of butter year.
3. We do not put the dry COW on
a starvation ration.
4. We do not keep our cows in an
icehouse, hogpen or dungeon.
3. We do not allow them TO go a
whole year without carding or brush.

q. We do not depend Oh pasture
alone for summer ration.
Z. We do not allow the milk to stand
very long in the stable to absorb foul
odors.
:. We do not NIX sweet cream with
cream to be churned less than twelve
hours before churning. The cream is
ripened in one vessel which holds the
cream for whole churning.
8. We do not add scalding water to
the cream; nor guess at the tempera.
ture with the finger; nor take two or
three hours to churn.
10. We do not gather the butter till
the "dasher stands on top" and then
dip it out of the buttermilk.
IL. We do not add coarse salt by
guess; nor work the butter into grease.
II. We do not send our butter to
market wrapped in old rags that may
have seen other service in the house.

The number of homestead entries
recorded for the Northwest Terri
tories of Canada last year was 32,-
6S2, as compared with 22,215 in the
previous year. These numbers. and
the rate of increase do not indicate
that there is anything near like the
boom that is advertised as going on
in that land of frost and wheat.
Farms are cheap in Northwest Cana
da. In fact. the Government is prac-
tically giving them away, while the
most strenuous efforts are being made
officially and privately to attract emf
grafton. Especial inducements have
been offered to Americans. Agents
have been sent to the United States
to spread information about this
Northwestern country and to assist
pioneers who are willing to go there.
Yet in spite of all this work only TO-
300 people left the United States for
Canada last year. These facts clear
ly show that the great Northwest
Territory has neither the attractions
nor the productivity ascribed to it.

Feeding should not be suspended be-
cause the days have come when the
work horses have less to do.
Manage to give them some work
every day, or turn them in yard or
paddock to move about.
Feed enough so they will not run
down or get soft, as it will cost much
more TO get them in good condition
again If allowed to fall Off.
They should have at least two feeds
of grain each day. Corn and oats
ground, from four TO eight pounds, fed
on cut hay, in two meals, is good
ration.
Always put blanket on a horse il
it is kept standing even n short time.
If horse is heated by driving never
leave it standing exposed to piercing
wind. Keep it moving or get it in a
barn, and rub dry and blanket warmly.
Never leave ice and mud frozen on
the horses ankles. 1t is conducive to
rheumatism, chapped heel and mud
fever
Rub the legs dry with wisp of
straw or a piece of old gunnysack.
Cheap Turkish toweling is handy and
effective: it is easy to wash out wien
soiled. / always keep a supply in the
stable for rubbing.
Never allow the smith to pare the
soles or frogs; during the winter, es-
pecially.

KILLING Weeds.

Killing weeds by spraying is now
practiced in France. 4 five per cent.
solution of sulphate of copper has been
found destructive Of wild mustard and
some other weeds, without irjuring
grain crops. 1t is probable that it will
not injure certain kinds of weeds.
Spraying has been found Of advantage
in France, however, in destroying
weeds, the cost being about 81 per
acre. 1t is doubtful if such a measure
will ever be adopted in this country
as the harrow, cultivator, weeder and
hoe can be used more effectively where
crops are cultivated in rows, and even
if weeds are growing on broadcastcd
plots it is probably cheaper to pull the
weeds out than TO spray.

second AS the planet turns upon it's
axis more slowly than ours, the cal
endar of the inhabitants of Mars is
composed of two consecutive years of
G6S days and a bisextile one of G69
days. 1t is not many years since Mars
entered into the sphere of our obser-
walton. And one can also say that
there is but a small number of the
inhabitants of this world who have
observed it in all it's details. and of
these the most experienced is Signor

tory at Milan.

tensity of the seasons is absolutely
the same as with us, the inclination of
the axis being the same as ours.
Our problem of the habitability of
the stars is limited to observing the
celestial bodies upon which the con-
ditions are such that organized matter
can exist in a durable form.
In the planet Mars the destiny of a
cubic meter of water, earth or any
matter is only the seventeenth of
what it is here, and the weight is only
3S-100ths. A kilogram transported to
Mars would therefore only weigh
376 grams there, and a man or wo-
man weighing 20 kilos would only
weigh &c there. The years are near
ly twice as long as upon our planet,
and the climatological conditions
seem much more favorable than they
are here.
