WHAT TO FEED WITH CORN.
Missouri Experiment Station Proves
That Linseed Oil Is Best.

That some other feed should be
used with corn to secure the best re-
suits in pig feeding is known by all
practical feeders. The gains are bet
ter than on pure corn ration, and it
the other food is we'll chosen the gains
may be made at lower cost. In test
at the Missouri experiment station
comparison of wheat, midd1ings and
other purchased feeds used with corn
meal was made
With corn at 25c a bushel it would
be an even thing so far as the cost Of
gain is concerned, whether corn be
fed alone or with oil meal at $50 per
ton. In these tests, linseed oil meal
proved to be better than wheat mid
dlings as food to use with corn.
The oil meal ration was so much
more palatable than the middlings,
that much more of it was eaten daily.
They made more rapid gains and
seemed to thrive better upon this feed.
To be equal to oil meal at $50 per ton,
middlings would have to be bought
at from $14 to SIS per ton. AS Oil
meal is usually cheaper than $50 in
Missouri and middlings worth SIS or
more, these tests show that linseed oil
meal is one of the best feeds to use
with corn.

The lnexperienced Curate.

Henry Arthur Jones, the English
playwright, talked about plays at a
dinner that he gave at the St. Regis.
1T cannot be Denied" he said.
that practical experience is better
than theory in play building If a
man has acted a little, he will avoid,
when he sits down to write a play,
all manner of queer eros that trip
up the playwright who has never
acted.
Here, as everywhere, an ounce of
experience is worth a pound of the
DRY. 1t is like the story of the new
curate.
This curate, being DESTROYS in all
things to conform to the exact letter
of the liturgy, insisted, when perform

not have it.
"I would sooner die than be mar

"'But the rubric says so,' replied
the curate.

BIG OR LITTLE FARMS.
The Size Depends on Location Writes
an Iowa Farmer.

Whether man should have a big
or little farm depends on his loca-
ton. In this part of Iowa, writes
Clarke county farmer in Farmers Re,
view, we must depend on the more ex7
tensive methods of agriculture to give
us living. A man that has farm
of only so acres or 12O acres will
have hard chance to make a living.
He needs at least 100 acres, and if he
has 800 acres he will be still more
fortunate.
1t must be remembered that it takes
a good deal of land to produce paying
crops of corn, wheat and other cereals.
If a man raises cattle he must have
a large part of his farm in pasture.
If he has but 80 acres and there
comes a wet year or a very dry year,
either of which will cut short his
crops, where is he? But even then, if
he has 100 acres he will be able to
produce enough to meet his obliga-
tons.
The 80-acre farm is all right near
good-sized city, where truck farming
can be followed largely enough to in
sure the farmer living. He can then
constantly get manure for use on his
farm. But in the country away from
the large cities it is far otherwise.

WORK IN THE TOOL SHED.
Where Good Many Of the Winter
Days Can Be ProfitabIy Spent.

One of the many profitable winter
jobs can be found in the tool shed in
going over, cleaning up and repairing
the machinery that will be used next
summer. After a seasons work there
Is nearly always something about a
mower, binder or cultivator which
needs fixing. When one wants to use
tool he seldom has time to fix it,
and if it must be repaired the work is
usually done as quickly as possible
with an eye only to the work immedi
ately at hand.
Flows may now be cleaned off and
oiled, hoes and mattocks sharpened,
scythes ground, etc. Then there are
always bolts to tighten, fractures and
breaks to patch up, and adjustments
OF various kinds to make. If any
machine needs repairs that must be
ordered from distance this should be
done during the winter and the ma
chine made ready for USE II this is
neglected now, remarks Farm and
home, you may forget all about it un-
till you want to use it, and then you
will be in a hole.
A few hours work at odd times will
have all the tools ready for use when
the time comes, if they are stored in
shed or room where you can get at
them and the rain and snow cannot.
II they are left, as many tools are,
out in the weather, they will be in
bad shape when you go to use them.
So if you have no tool shed it would
be good winter job to build one.

DRAINING LANDS.
Much Rich Land Goes to Waste Be-
cause This Work Is Not Done.

Many undrained and Improbable
lands can be drained we'll, or at least
considerably improved, should you
only spend days work in scraping
out bitches, with an ordinary two
horse scraper. Some of the bitches
need not necessarily be wide nor
deep.
It has been estimated that from
one to thirty per cent of certain Sec
tons of good farming lands in some
sections of the Northwest need drain
ing. Some of this undrained land is
reasonably productive in growing
slough grass, which in many cases
serves as feed for cattle in the win
ter, but a large fraction of these
lands lie idle and are hotbeds for the
propagation of weeds and undesirable
insects.
The soil in sloughs and small
swamps is usually fertile and rich
in plant food, due largely to the de-
cay of plant life, which has been &C
cumulating there year after year. 1t
is this land that should be brought
into condition for the growing of
crops. 1t will support plant growth
better than the adjoining higher lands
whose fertility has been considerably
depleted by constant cropping. When
drained we'll these lands make adj
mirable fields for grasses, such as
timothy and millet grass, also fod-
der corn. There is ~ work of this
kind done if done at proper time and
place but what will easily pay for the
expense in the raising of the first
few crops from lands-J. F. Volta,

SEPARATOR MILK FOR PIGS.
1t Should Prove the Best Kind of Feed
When Warm

It Should Prove the Best Kind Of Feed
When Warm.
There Is an impression among some
farmers that the feeding of skim milk.
warm from the separator is injurious
to pigs Prof. William DIETRICH, of the
Illinois experimental station, writing
on this matter, says that there is no
reason why it should cause trouble
since warm milk is the natural food
of pigs. 1t may be that the securing
and running down in flesh that is
sometimes observed is caused by sud-
den changes in feed; such as, for in
stance, change from cold sour skim
milk to warm fresh skim-milk. The
skim milk in either form is good feed,
but it will not do to change from one
to the other very suddenly. Another
cause of the trouble may be that the
pigs are being fed too much. Some
times people think that when the
cream is taken out of the milk there
is not much left that is of any value
and young animals are fed very liber-
ally and often overfed, and this be-
comes a very serious matter The
skim-milk has relatively more protein
than whole milk and comparatively
small excess of protein in the system
will very likely bring about digestive
troubles.
