Prepare for Winter.
MAKE THE STABLES AND SHEDS CON-
PORTABLE FOR THE LIVESTOCK.

Sometimes we fail to see that sheds
are the biggest money makers on the
farm. 1t is slOvenly as we'll as unprofit
able to turn stock into winter quarters
where it will require about all they car
eat to keep them warm. Feeders used
to think that cattle had keener appe
tites when they were compelled to take
all kinds of weather, with high board
fence as their only protection against
cold and wind. But they have found
out that with corn around so cents q
bushel and hay at 80 ton it is far
cheaper to supply the fattening stock
With shelter than with costly food to
keep them warm.
Good shelter enables the farmer to
conserve the manure made by the cattle.
This, if properly cared for, will pay for
all work in feeding the stock. This ma.
nure question is one which we cannot
afford to ignore, for frequently the
whole profit in feeding bunch of cattle
must come from the manure. With
good sheds and liberal supply of straw
near by, with which to keep the ground
under the shed we'll bedded down, one
is prepared to make every bushel of his
corn 90 toward putting on fat, and he
will be making fine lot of the best
fertilizing material that can be turned
out of any factory.
And don't neglect the stables. Sweep
down the cobwebs and take a spray
pump and some whitewash and spray
every nook and corner. Besides making
the stable sweeter and lighter, stock
appreciate the change and they profit by
it. The more foul the stables the more
urgent is the necessity for thorough
cleaning up. Do it now, before winter.
Then cleat up the crevices, fix the panes
in the windows and put things general ly
in shape to make your stock comfortable.

Useful Feeding Experiments.

The Maine station has recently issued
a bulletin describing a feeding expert,
ment. One part of the experiment, al
least, is very interesting. 1t deals with
the influences feed has on the fertilizing
value of manure. Figuring the elements
at what they would cost on the market,
it was found that ton of hay contains
$40 worth of plant food elements. II
is not stated what kind Of hay was used,
but the supposition is that it was mixed
hay. Spring wheat bran contains Sll 81
worth; fall wheat bran, 50 90 worth; and
cotton seed meal, S23 go worth OF fertil'
izing elements to the ton. In this ex'
pertinent no consideration was taken ol
the value the manure would possess az
an improver of the humus content OF the
soil, which will be very considerable IN
deed.
This shows the reader that If he needs
feeds for his cattle and at the same time
it is necessary To pay some attention te
the fertility of his soil, he should pur
chase those feeds which are most valu-
able as improvers of the manure voided
by the stock. 1t was found that hay
was richer in potash than any other ele
ment, containing more potash than boti
nitrogen and phosphoric acid. Spring
wheat bran had nearly as much phos
phoric acid as both nitrogen and potash
Cotton seed meal contained almost twice
as much nitrogen as both phosphori'
acid and potash. Hence, If the sol
needs humus and perhaps potash, feec
Literally of hay; if it needs phosphorit
acid, let bran enter largely into the ra
ton; if it needs nitrogen. great deal o

Alfalfa's Great Value.

One acre of clover is worth three
acres of timothy, aud one acre of alfalfa
is worth three times as much as clover
for the protein content. To test this
statement, says Hoard's Dairyman,
Professor Hall compared the protein
content, using the table below. There
are 2.S pounds protein in 100 pound:
timothy hay; in twenty hundred pounds
or one ton, there is 80 pounds and II
one aud one-half tons (a fair yield pei
acre) "a pounds protein.
Red clover hay has 5.S pounds protein
per 100 pounds, 136 pounds per ton ant
272 pounds in two tons "a fair yield per
acre). This Is more than three times a
much protein as that in one acre o
timothy.
Alfalfa has II pounds protein in l0(
pounds hay, 220 pounds in one ton ant
/ 100 pounds protein in one acre OF fv'
tons. There is little more than fou
times as much protein as in one acre oi
clover.
The one acre of alfalfa is worth nine
acres of timothy, considering the pro
tein alone.

MAKING A BALLOON.

A balloon consists Of patches Of cloth
about yard square sewed secure

any difficulty in making the fabric OF

be done If the pieces were shaped like
the skin on the section OF an apple.
The reason is that no absolutely re-
liable fabric has yet been invented,
and there Is always the possibility OF
the balloon bursting Should this hap

Of gas will not be dangerously rapid,

Feed Apples to Pigs.

months to six months old. They are

middlings, shorts and some bran
These pigs are running on clover past

apples both that they can eat. Some OF
them are running 10 orchard pasture

picked up and carried to the others
We have some young boars of last fal
farrow that we are developing for ser
vice and they are fed the same ration
We have never seen i'll effects from thi'
ration and the pigs in thin, growing con
dition will weigh about pound for eacf
day of their age.
OF course the milk is not permitted
to become putrid and receptacles are
kept c,ean. We frequently put common
baking soda In the slop, about teas
poopful to each one hundred pounds o.
pig. We think it is good plan, espe
