Feeding the Dairy Cow.

There are two common mistakes
made in feeding COWS; first. not feed.
ing literally enough; second, feeding
a ration not properly balanced. 1t
has been found by experiments that
about 60 per cent OF what q GOV can
eat Is necessary to merely maintain
her without producing any milk or
gaining in weight. This being true, 1t
is evident that it is not economy to
feed only a little more than this co
per cent needed to keep up the cows
body.
Below are given balanced rations
that will furnish the materials neces.
sary TO produce milk in about the right
proportions. BY the term 'rations" is
mCant the feed for twenty.four hours.
II a COW will not give a good flow Of
milk in the early part Of the milking
period, when fed a liberal amount of
one Of these ratiOn9, it indicates that
she is not adapted by nature to be a
dairy animal and she should be dis
posed Of. The amounts given are
considered about right for a COW civ.
lnS from twenty 10 twenty-five POUNDS
Of milk per day. For heavy mixers
these ratiOns are to be increased and
reduced for lighter mixers. In max.
ing up these rations it is designed that
the COW be given practically all Of
the rOughncss she will cat and then
sufficient grain is added to furnish the
necessary amount of digestible ma
terial.

SATISFIED WITH HIS QUIBBLE.
New Hampshire Man Stuck to Letter
Of the Deed.

There are some literal minded per-
sons who are never satisfied with the
spirit of the law. but who consider 1t
necessary to enter into compromises
with the letter. or such was an old
citizen of Hopkinton, n. H., a good
many years ago. and his juggling with
his conscience is recorded by Mr.. Lord
in the records Of the town.
The old man used to boast that he
never went back on his exact word,
but had no conjunction in going
round II. Once he wished to buy a
certain tract Of land, and when the
owner named the price he exclaimed:
Il won't give it! | tell YOU =; will
lever give it,
The owner did not yield. neverthe.
less. A few days afterward the old
man called again. He said nothing
about the land, but stepped into the
owners barn and picked up q fail.
What's that" he asked.
That? Oh. that's a fail"
$50 YOU call that a fail. do you?
Well. what would you take for IT."
The owner named a very small sum
Now, I'll tell you what I'll do.
continued the old man. III give you
the price YOU mentioned for your land
and this fail. And you mustn't forget
the fail. 1t must be included in the
deed"
So the legal instrument was duly
made out, signed and delivered, re.
cording the purchase of a certain
tract of land situated thus and so,
and bounded as follows, and also a
certain tail.-Youth's Companion.

First Weeks Of the Click.

n Is a fact conceded by all poultry
men that chicks need no feed for Az
TO 60 hours after they hatch, except
a little fine grit. The first thing
give them is a very little fine grit.
The first feed | give them is rolled
oats, and | have had very good sue
cess feeding them nothing else for the
first two weeks. with an occasional
light feed of fine meat scraps, not
more than twice a week and not TINS
often If they have free range. a
grea' many people have good sue
cess With chicks feeding bread crumbs,
but prefer rolled oats.
Oh ckens are omnlvorous-hogsish-
ly so. They don't know when they
have enough; so it is for the Keeper
to use brains for them and decide he
matter. In q wild state they are not
troubled with indigestion. In the 90
mesticated state they would not need
a charcoal corrective If they were fed
properly. We are responsible for most
of the troubles chickens are heir to.
Some people begin when they are
Matched to stuff them with sour,
slushy muses., and because they are
greedy for it we give them all they
can hold. | t is little wonder they are
crop bound, have bowel trouble, get
the cholera and quit. Some people
compel their older chickens to go with.
out teeth, and they, too, have dyspep'
STA and refuse to lay eggs. The feed
may be ever so good, but If crit is
withheld they cannot digest and assim
ilate the food.
1t Is a debatable question whether
or not chickens should be fed mashcs.
Poultrymen have success bo,h ways.
But II seems to me that the person
who Is not skilled in pOultry-raising
would be on the safer side II he used
the dry feed method. POnltrymen do
not allow the chicks to Overoat the
mashes, nor do they allow them 20 eat
sour, spoiled mashes. Everything Is
kept sweet and clean. They are there
