Digestibi,i,y Of stock Food.

In all feeding materials there are por-
lions which cannot be digested, and
even when digested much is not assimj-
lated. The characteristics Of the ami
mails have some influence In digestion,
and the consequence is that the farmer
can convert but a portion Of any kind
of food into salable products; but the
manure heap ecoyers that which would
otherwise be of no value. A ton of
clover, valued at $40, when used for
food, Is added to the profit by the
farmer, but as much as 50 may come
back to the farmer in the manure; ana
a ton of cotton-seed meal, costing 500,
may return as much as SIS to the
manure after producing milk, meat and
butter, the value depending, however,
on the prices Of fertilizer materials
The reason of this gain to the farmer
is that the larger proportion Of these
feeding stuffs consist of fat and starch.
which create fat on the bodies of the
animals and provide warmth, but fat
and starch are derived from the atmos-
phere and not from the soil; hence the
real value-the nitrogen and mineral
matter Cor the larger portion) goes
into the manure heap. Both linseed
meal and cottcn-seed meal may be used
on the soil as fertilizers, eve at $50
per ton, but it is better to first feed
them to live stock, so as to derive the
benefit from the oil and starch, which
are of no value to- the soil or as plant
foods. BY feeding all food materials
to animals, they are passed through the
body, after being masticated, which moi
only reduces tie coarsest to a fine
condition, but the process Of digestion
renders the foods more acceptable to
plants. In some cases b results may
not be immediate, but the farmer fHds
his soils become mere fertile every yeal
and his crops larger.

Denmark, which breeds some of the
best horses In the world, last April i'm
ported 1,1CO horses from Sweden. LOO
from Russia, besides Il large number
from Norway. The explanation is that
SO many horses have been sold to Ger
many that it Is necessary to supply the
shortage by importation, but the thrift

business. The Norwegian fjord horses
find much favor in Denmark. They
are small, but are strong Il active
and thrive splendidly.
