Marriage Words Are Spoken.

It was one of the most suspicious
moments in the history of the
White House. The guests seemed
scarcely to breathe, so intent were
, they to catch every syllable of the
beautiful service. In low, yet reson-
ant tones, Bishop Satterlee began. At
the conclusion of the responses from
the bride and groom the venerable
bishop inquired in a tone that filled
the great room:
Who giveth this woman to be mar
ried to this MANI"
The president of the United States
assembled the platform, and, taking his
daughters right hand, placed it in

MAINTAINING wORK TEAMS.

A. M. Soule In southern Fldnter.
 The large increase in inquiries con- corning the feeding and maintenance of horses and mules shows that much more interest is being taken in this inn portant phase of animal nutrition than was formerly the case. This is cer- tainly encouraging, for, as a matter or fact, less attention has been given to the proper feeding and maintenance of the teams than to any other class Of animals on the farm. Yet 1t is quite clear that for reasons of economy, this condition should be reversed. It Is quite evident that horses and mules are often subjected to great discomfort by reason of the unsatisfactory rations which they are forced to consume, and it is a well-known fact that the utii- ity of work stock is measured largely by the variety, character and suitabA- nty of the food consumed. It is strange that an animal of such marked intelh- gence as the horse and one which, in @ large measure, has been a companion of mankind from the eapliest ages, is often fed rations which are to say the least. ill-suited to his needs and sub. feet him to many bodily discomforts' requiring. as they do, the consumption of a considerable part of his energies In order to properly digest and assimi- late them; whereas, if better suited to
 
 nerve centers, and, of necessity, enable him to do a greater amount of work with less strain on his digestive ma chinery. Now, as a matter of fact, the horse is simply an intelligent machine for mans convenience. Therefore, the owner should make every efrort to handle this machine with the greatest skill in order that there will be no loss of energy by friction, and the machine will then, of necessity, last longer and do more efficient work. Comfort and adaptability are two points to which special attention should be given in the selection of a ration for horses and mules.
 The subject of horse feeding may be appropriately considered from the fol- lowing standpoints: First, suitable forms of hay, fodder and other rough ness; second, natural and artificial pas lures; third. grain, meal and by-prod- ucts.
 The form of roughness most widely used for horses is timothy hay. which, In itself Is all right, not because of It's high nutritive qualities, but because of Its freedom from dust and the relish with which it Is eaten by horses. Un- fortunately, however. timothy hay ls a one-sided food which does not meet all the requirements of the horse, ana moreover, 1t Is often very expensive and hard to procure. The fondness for 1t on the part of horsemen, however, is' indeed, remarkable and has led to a neglect of many other foodstu1s which might be used with marked advantage from the standpoint of economy and | suitability.

GRAZING CROPS FOR HOGS.

Any farmer can select a six-acre tract of land convenient to his barn and divide it off as follows: The tract of land selected should be rather long and narrow. and a roadway should be left along one side. Divide the land into six equal acres by means of permanent fences
 The first area should be seeded to grass In some sections bluegrass will be used; in others, orchard grass; and still others, Bermuda. The temporary or permanent shelters for the hogs should be erected on this section or land. These need cost very little, for suitable shelter for a brood SOW ana her litter can be built at cost of $S or s10.
 Section two should be seeded to sor- ghum as early in the spring as possi- ble. After 1t Is graZed down, seed to winter oats and vetch. or crimson clover may be used. This will furnish some late fall and early spring grazing.
 On section three SOW cowpeas as early in the spring as possible. After the cowpeas are grazed down, put in crim- son clover which will be available early the next sp8ing.
 On section four plant Spanish pea nuts.
 On section five prepare the land with the greatest possible care, and seed alfalfa. Alfalfa will be the most de- sirable of all the grazing crops, as it can be graZed over two or three times during a single season, and will remain on the land for several years, if well established.
 Section six may be devoted to arti- chokes to furnish feed through the late fall and winter.
 Some grain should be fed to the nogs on grazing crops--one to three pounds per day, depending on the age ano size of the animals. An ear or two of corn will often be all that is necessary. By using grazing crops the corn can be made to go much further, and bet ter quality of pork obtained at lower cost per pound. Hogs kept on grasing crops are under the very best sani. tary condition. The plan suggested will provide grazing for twenty-hve to fifty hogs, depending on the character of the land and the crop season. The several areas should not DC kept in the same crop from year to year, but a rotation should be prac- tised that will enable a variety of crops to be grown on the land, and so pre- serve an equilibrium fin the soil food l supply.
 The utilization of grazing crops for pork production is worthy of serious attention.-Andre M. Soule in Farn Journal 4nM 64se

is quite as satisfactory as timothy and Is even better adabted to the needs of the horse If 1t contains a fair amount of clover, as this helps to maintain the body in equilibrium by applying pro tein. Then. there Is no reason why red clover. which grows over such a wide section of the country. should not be used to advantage. If little more attention was given to the curing of clover in a semi green condition. so as to avoid It's being as dusty as Is ordi- nariIy the case. 1t could be fed to horses and mules with greater satis- faction than timothy hay.

 At eleven to twelve weeks of age the cockrel broilers weighed 1-4 pounds dressed for market, and the bullets 3-4 pounds. The food con stunned to produce a two-pound broiler was 10 pounds, and the cost of food, heat. and eggs aggregated 2S cents. The selling price in different months ranged between 40 and 60 cents per broiler.
 The average age at which these pedt- greed bullets laid their first egg ranged between four months and ten days and four months and twenty days. The average amount of food eaten by each hen in a year was about as fol- lows.

PROETTs TN DAIRYING.

Tn refutation of the belief held by some farmers that dairying is not profitable, Prof. o. Erf of the Kansas Agricultural College. outlined at a stock breeders meeting some experi- ments that had been carried on at the college. Fifteen average cows were purchased, and q yearly record was kept of them. The first COW produced butter fat for 8 1-2 c per pound. In other words, she charged 1-2c for the feed to manufacture a pound, while No. IS produced butter fat for 24c per pound. In dividing the cows accord ing to their records. five that produced per pounds were selected. Another lot produced butter for 15.sc per pound. and still another lot for 20. 4c per pound.
 Now how are we going to remedy the situation, and how are we going to make dairying in this lot of cows more profltable7 asks the professor. Simply sell the last ten cows and you will have a profitable dairy. If you are getting 16c for butter fat, the middle lot of cows will just balance, though you are not making a profit they will l not make you 8 loss, the top lot will make you 5c gain. Now, if, then, you will sell the last two lots of these cows, you will make $40 clear profit out of those five remaining cows. If you keep all of them. you will not make any profit at all Just milk five good cows and sell the rest and you will make a profit.
 How do you know which cows to sell? It is simply this. Take a piece of paper and nail it up against the COW stable wall. Tie lead pencil to that Tie 1t good and strong, and for three consecutive days put down the weight of the milk produced by that COW. Take a sample and lest that COW. Do that for three consecutive days every month, and that will give you record that is approximately 95 per cent accurate, compared with the record which you would have had if you would take the sample every day and weigh the milk. That system is suf1ciently accurate in finding out the good and the poor cows. It is an easy matter to estimate approximately the value of the feed that you are giving those cows during the year. and by a simple computation you can find wheth- CT you are making a profit or loss on
