Grinding Feed.

All good farmers recognize the value
of ground feed as part of the ration
and great many are equipped to pro-
duce 1t on the farm. 1t is as sense
less to carry grain to mill and back
again as to haul grain to the elevator
to have it threshed, then haul the straw
home again. However, great many
will have ground feed even If they
have to haul the grain both ways.
But why haul it at all? There are
all sizes of feed grinders made and for
all kinds of power, from a windmill to
a traction engine. With your own grind
ers you can make what you want and
in the right proportions to suit That
cannot be said when you patronize some
feed mills. The miller grinds so coarse
that the oats are not all cracked, to
say nothing of knowing that you get
back your own grain or in the amount
you took. Who can tell If light oats
have been substituted for heavy or
spoiled corn for sound? Frauds In feed
are as common as any other kind of
steal. The man who has his own grind
er is master of the situation.
Any ingenious man can rig up an at
tachment so he can run little grinder
with the common windmill, or attach
1t to the gasoline engine that runs the
separator, ETC., or put the bull on the
tread power and make him grind feed.
Whole grain goes through horses and
cattle and much is lost unless one per-
mfts hogs 10 follow, which can not al
ways be done, especially with the work
horses. Why feed your oats TO Eng
lish sparrows through the horses?

To Destroy Plant Lice.

Soapsuds will destroy plant lice II
used around trees and vines, especially
the aphides that work on the roots.
The suds may be sprayed on the leaves
as we'll as thrown on the ground.
Whale oil soapsuds are used to de-
stroy scale, and If little crude car
bolic acid is added to the suds it will
be all the better. For asparagus and
celery soapsuds are excellent, and when
thrown on the manure heap they assist
in preventing the loss of ammonia. If
soapsuds are to be thrown away It will
be an advantage to throw them where
they will prove beneficial.

Balky Horses.

We have never had great deal to
do with balky horses. There are a
great many ways that balky horse
may be started. and some of them seem
very impractical, but are successful.
For instance. we have known people
who have started balky horse by put
ting gravel in the ear, but we think
that a little too cruel, writes ]. Crouch
of Lafayette in the Rural New Yorker.
One of the best remedies that the writ
er has ever seen used, which was sue
cessful was to take strong piece of
lath or piece of board and get slightly
to the front and still close enough TO
the horse that he could hit the horse
smartly but not too hard on the knee
cap. This would cause the horse to
commence to rear slightly, and at the
same time TO go forward, and if kept
up for short time usually breaks a
horse of the habit. In young horse,
it may be whipped out of him, but If
the horse is seven or eight years old
or over, 1t is hard matter TO break ii,
and sometimes impossible.

AII-Year-Round Farming.

Lewis c. Duncan, Of Westville, n. Y,
is what might be termed "a year round
farmer" He has twenty acres under
continual tillage, with most gratifying
results. The farmland problem and
late frosts do not bother him, as all of
his winter work is done under cover.
Just now an acre Of spinach is produc-
ing shelving load day. Other houses
are set with radishes, beets and lettuce,
and from one to four wagon loads of
produce are sent to market daily.
The average farmers work generally
rnds when frosts come, but Duncan
says the time will come when farmers
will adopt modern methods and people
will have fresh vegetables every day in
the wear.

A series of very Interesting expert
ments in pasture renovation have been
carried on In England for the past
eight years, and the general results are
worth repeating because they agree in
a general way with experiments in
this country. The experiments were
in the line of bringing up the quantity
and quality of pasture by topdressing
with chemicals. On light soil potash
produced but little effect. On heavy
soils phosphate fertilizers were most
profitable. The topdressing was not
profitable for the first three years. but
after that period lime proved profit
able, and potash was also profitable the
last two years. Nitrogen fertilizers
proved Of little use. The great advan-
tage Of the phosphate fertilizers and
lime was to promote the growth of
various kinds OF clover. which resulted
in Improvement of the soil and the
stand of various grasses. Fertilizers
containing both phOsphates and lime
proved very effective, especially on
heavy soils, which generally contain
enough potash to last a number OF
years, but were deficient In lime and
phosphoric aCid--American Cultivator

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing Is Abandoned.


1t is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use Of coffee as 1t Is
for a whiskey or tobacco fiend to break
of, except that the coffee user can quit
coffee and take up Postum Food Coffee
without any feeling of & loss of the
morning beverage, for when Postum is
we'll boiled and served with cream, 1t Is
really better In point Of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur 1t Is
like the flavor Of fine Java.
A great transformation takes place In
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee Is left off and Postum Food
Coffee used, for the reason that the poi
son to the nerves has been discontinued
and in its place is taken liquid that
contains the most powerful elements Of
nourishment

Cement Floors Tor PouItry Hou.e..

Cement Floors for Poultry Houses.
In the building of new poultry
houses the question of suitable floors is
always an interesting one, and it must
be admitted that the, floor depends
much on the nature of the soil and the
climate. That is, in a moderate eli
mate with the natural soil of decid-
eddy sandy nature, we would not hesi-
tate to depend upon the earthen floor
covered with more or less gravel pro-
vided it was enough higher than the
surface Of the surrounding soil to pre-
vent any surface water running in the
house, and also that 1t be kept we'll COW
cred with straw or chaff, particularly
in cold weather. The floor of boards
is not Objectionable provided this, too,
is arranged so that 1t will not get damp
and so that 1t is covered with straw.
The cement floor has many things in
its favor, provided 1T is properly laid.
but here is just where the trouble is.
A cement floor laid so that Ii Is damp
most of the time is worse than q damp
board or earthen floor simply because
it will not dry out as quickly. If prop
erly laid it will probably be satisfac-
tory, but under ordinary conditions we
would prefer either the board floor or
earthen floor with the average poultry
keeper.-Indianapol News.

Placing the Bee Hive.

The location of bee hives during SUM
ner Is important. Bees do not work
contentedly in a hive that Is exposed
to the sun. During midday, when the
temperature of the atmosphere is high,
work within the hive, such as comb
building, must be suspended, as the
heat is then too great for comfort, espe-
rially as the bodies of the little work
ers also give off considerable warmth.

Feeding Horses Not at Work.

Horses at hard work, for instance,
require very different ration from
horses which are not working at all or
young and growing colts. The same is
true of all other classes of stock. The
nutritive ratios would be worked out,
averaged up and the average amount
of protein fed would be considered the
amount of protein necessary for a
maintenance ration for horse at rest
the same of the carbohydrates and the
fat. The nutritive ratios would be
worked out, averaged up and ascer-
tanned in the same manner. Thus the
amount Of dry matter, protein, carbo-
hydrates, fat and nutritive ratio are
obtained. The same method has been
used in determining the rations best
suited to the needs of all animals for
each specific purpose.

date at North Bristol.
Lord Hugh Cecil, leader Of the con-
servative free-traders, was defeated at
Greenwich, and T. Gibson Bowles, a
unionist free-trader, lost at Kings Lynn,
both being opposed by Chamberlainites.
Aside from The overwhelming gains
by the liberals throughout the country,
the immense msjorities secured in the
turnover are causes of surprises to both
sides.
The labor candidates are showing re-
markable strength, the total gains of the
labor party yesterday being seven, not
including one socialist, W. Thorne, who,
at Westham, defeated the nnionist cand-

of 200.
The composition Of the new Parliament
