Bran makes u very good supplement
tary food for hogs, although, as Q
usual thing, it is not very largely fed.
Yet in the early stages of the devel.
opment of swine it is far better to feed
than corn. In fact, IL corr is fed, as
1t certainly is on all western farms.
bran can usually be used for balancing
1t. Bran contains from Is to Is per
cent of protein, which goes to fill up
the deficiency existing in corn. II a
large quantity Of SKINNED milk Is fed
the grain should consist OF bran and
corn in some form, preferably corn
meal. Both bran and skinned milk
come under the general head of pro-
tein feeds. Bran. being a bulky food
and very light, must not be fed in large
quantities. The hogs stomach is small
and needs a somewhat concentrated
food. All bran would be too light and
all corn meal would be too heavy q
feed when mixed with skimmilk. When
bran is not selling at more than $l6
per ton it Is a profitable feed to give
hogs In all Of the western states.

Power on the Farm.

The introduction of power in vari.
Gus forms on the farm Is con.
stantly on the increase. There
are many forms of energy that
can be evolved at a very slight cost.
and il Is absurd for the farmer to be
expanding his own strength or the
strength Of his horses when he can
employ much more cheaply some chem.
ical or mechanical energy that will
do the work rapidly and to perfection.
Many a farmer has kept his boys chop.
ping fire wood or laboriously chopping
trees into proper lengths for sale when
the same amount of work might have
been accomplished at much less cost
by using the machinery for doing the
cutting and some kind Of a gas or
liquid for doing the work. An invest.
ment of this kind Is one that will soon
return 100 per cent, and all after that
will be clear gain. Human thought
and human energy are too much need.
ed elsewhere to be employed In mere
ly mechanical operations.

Shoeina Horses.

The science of horseshoeing
is one that Is being taught
in our agricultural colleges, and
this practice Is to be commended.
Perhaps our agricultural colleges will
have as great an influence on the horse
shoeing industry as the veterinary col.
leges have had upon the practice OF
veterinary medicine. There was a
time when many OF the practitioners
of veterinary medicine were not only
ignorant men, but were ignorant of
the calling to which they had devoted
themselves. For many years veteri-
nary colleges have been sending out
thousands of graduates, who have i'm
proved the situation. We trust that
the thousands OF young men going out
from the agricultural colleges will
know enough about shoeing to see that
their horses are shod right.

TO Produce Milk cheapiy.

To produce milk cheaply three
things are necessary, good
cows. good feed. and 4 good
feeder. No one OF these or
two of these can produce cheap milk
without the other. A great many ex.
periments have been conducted with.
in the last five years for the purpose
Of discovering what proportion OF
COWS were making milk at less than
the cost Of feed. More than one-third
of the COWS have been found to be
producing milk at q greater cost than
it would sell for. This would repre-
sent an absolute loss OF all the time
put upon the care of the animals. The
best cows given good feed and In the
hands of a good feeder, produce milk
at so low a cost that the money put
into feed may be doubled. But what
can We expect when the combination
Is poor cows, poor feed and poor feed
ers? In such cases the owners OF the
cows are losing money without know

REASONING POWER or ANIMALS.
Authenticated Instances Prove Pos

The president of a society for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals Is
collecting instances OF animal reason

has authenticated:
A banker had q jackdaw that was
interested in croquet. AS soon as the
bird heard the click Of the balls he
would swoop down and watch the
game atteDtively from a hedge. And
when the players stopped the jack

would take a ball and push 1t with
beak and claws toE ard the cage oil

content with merely putting the ball
through-he would work away TIL he
had succeeded in ringing the bell that
hung from the cages top.

Bird That ShaNeA.

Man Is not the only living creature
that shaves. The bonmot. q South
American bird, takes Il dry shave eg'
ularly.
The bonmot has long blue tail feath'
ers. Each quill is adorned from base
to tip with soft blue down. This ar
rangement the bird dislikPs. There
fore, with its sharp beak, II nips the
quills pare from the base cut to about
an inch from the tip, where 1t main
tains a neat oval Of soft blue whLsker.
Such action seems silly on the bon.
mot's part. To certain philosophers.
though, 1t seems no sillier than mans
action in regularly scraping bare his
cheeks and chin, while he maintains
on his upper lip an oval OF soft hair
not unlike the bonmot's tail oval.

The hoos in the Barn.

The custom OF allowing the
hogs to occupy section OF
the barn Is not being followed
by our best dairymen and is being
discarded by many farmers. Hogs do
not do we'll under such conditions,
generally for the reason that their
quarters must be too restricted. Barns
are expensive structures and represent
a great deal OF money, and no farmer
feels that he can box off a large part
of the structure for the use Of the
hogs. When he does give them a part
1t Is only a small part. and almost al.
ways Is the part farthest away from
the daylight and fresh air. The farmer
that makes a business Of raising hogs
can afford to have for them proper
accommodations away from the re.
mainder of the stock.
