 tions for Cattle.

Howard R. Smith, professor of ami nal husbandry, UniYe!s.ty of Ne braska, in his book on Profitable Stock Feeding" says:
 Our stable experiment stations have conducted numerous feed.nE expert ments with animals, in w-ich bal anCed and unbalanced rations have been compared. At the Kansas eXpe- riment station, corn, prairie hay and corn stOver, a combination having a nutritive ration of Ill, was fed to steers in contrast with balanced ra- ton having a nutritive ration of 1:6.5. The average of three trials showed that 2S per cent. less feel was re- quired for a given increase in weight with the balanced ration
 Tn an experiment at the Nebraska experiment citation, with yearling steers, it was found that, to make the same gain, 29 per cent. less food was required with corn and alfalfa than with corn and prairie hay, and the al falfa WIS no more expensive.
 Tn another lot where oil meal, rich protein food, was added to corn and prairie hay, 9 per cent. total food was required for a given gain.
 The experiment stations of Illinois and Missouri have recently shown the advantage of corn and clover over corn and timothy in as striking con trast.
 Nor have the tests been confined to fattening cattle alone EXperi- ments with sheep, swine and dairy COWS show that much larger returns are made when the ratiOns are com pounded in a way that will furnish the nutrients in a proportion somewhat near the requirements as determined by scientific methods

cass perfectly plain. It IS a good rule to kill the sheep in November, at least wait until after fly time.
 Do not hire a butcher to kill your sheep. Do it yourself. After slaugh- tering hang the carcass in your cellar. If the latter will keep bread without it's molding, you may rest assured that your mutton will not spoil. Hang the mutton, do not lay it down. If hung properly with no two carcasses touching, and with the loose pieces drawn back so that the air can thor Oughly permeate the surface, these carcasses should keep till April. At any rate, do not take it down for cut ting up until one month after putting it in the cellar; I prefer six weeks. TEere is, says Orange Judd Farmer, a chemical change in the flesh of the sheep within six weeks from the time of killing. You will find after that time the mutton will not stick to the knife in handling the carcass.

it help to do so.
 Look for shoe boil on the elbow, or upper extremity of the front leg. These are really blemishes rather than unsoundness, the same being true of wind puffs found just above the arkles.
 Above all be sure the feet are per feet. The saying, No foot no horse," is a true one.
 Be sure there are no quarter cracks in the hoOf. Let the heel be fairly high and the foot well cupped, which means that it should have a concave under surface. A black hoof is consid- cred harder than white one. although there are many white hoofs which wear well.
 Lastly, take a position behind the animal and notice his hips. They should be exactly alike in outline. See that the tail is carried straight. Like the shoe boil and the wind puff this is only a blemish but detracts somewhat from the animals value commercially. For the same reason note the way he walks.
 After all these instructions have been followed out go back to the head and look him over on the other 9ide.
 There are many little tricks or characteristics certain horses have. as well as peculiarities of disposition. which can only be discovered by use. The above, however, will enable the buyer to detect actual soundness if it exists.

LIVESTOCK NOTES.

Blue grass and clover make good hog pasturage.
 Lampas is a disease of the horses mouth-behind the front teeth. One way to help it is to feed ear corn to the horse.
 A slight cut on a horses tongue will usually heal and make no trouble A bad cut may need a few stitches taken in it by a surgeon.

Convert your corn into butter and save the freight on 19 cars" On another there was, The dairyman leaves his children a better farm than he got; the grain farmer does not

These are the instructions of a noted horseman published by the Prairie Farmer.
 The first thing for a prospective purchaser 10 do in examining a horse for soundness is to walk up in front of him and see that he has a bright. cheerful eye. Then step around at once side and look through the eyes to see if any defect is noticeable from that point of view. Sometimes there is a cataract or scar upon the ball or pupil that is wis ,ble only from the side The cataract, in it's earlier stages, will apear like a small white spot on the pupil in it's earlier stage.
 Next look in the mouth to deter mine age; also to see that the teeth shut together evenly. Avoid an an

A Good Saddle Horse.

If you do not own a good saddle horse, get one. The landscape looks fairer and the outlook in life much more cheerful from the back of a horse after a half hours ride, than from any other point of view. It is not necessary, says the Farm Journal, that you should keep a horse exclu- sively for riding. He may be used for other purposes, only look out for one that is gaited for the saddle as well. The farmer is entitled to the best that is going.

 While in front of the horse look straight down at his front legs to see if there are any punches, knee caps or splints.
 A splint is located anywhere be- tween the knee and the ankle, and is found only on the front legs. It takes the form of a bony substance on the inside of the leg. It seldom causes lameness unless near a joint, but it is liable to give trouble and is to be avoided in making a purchase
 Look over the body of the horse 10 see that there are TO ruptures, then examine for sOundness of wind It is not always possible to avoid mistakes in this direction Watch the flank for unnatural or jerking action. Sometimes a horse with heaves shows it only in the nos-rils when not eX- ercising. The breathing should be regular, anything of a labored char acter is suspicious.
 Next take . position directly Oppo- site the hind quarters and look for curb. ringbOne and thoroughpin. A curb is known by an enlargement of the back part of the hook joint A rjngbone is a bony enlargement just about the hoCf and may appear upon either front of hind legs.
 A spavin comes on the inside of the le~ below the hook joint, a hard bony substance more or less perceptible. A thOrOuShpin is located directly in the hook joint and is known by a small puff in the skin on opposite sides By pressing the finger over the spot on the outside it may be felt on the in- side of the leg, and vice versa. In later stages it becomes hardened.

Discussing his plans, the American

of last years expedition having been a
failure. An enormous amount of work
had to be done at Spitzbergen-work
which was found to be too much for
one short Arctic summer.
This year, on arriving at Spitzber-
gen, there is little work to be done in
the matter Of erecting of buildings. We
have constructed an entirely new air
ship, with which we hope to accom-
plish the end we have in view, namely,

Long Branch and the neighboring re-
sorts are awaiting with the very deep
est interest the opening of the four
teenth annual horse show this after
noon under the auspices of the Long

scene of a most brilliant gathering
from the social sets of New York.
Philadelphia and other cities.
That the affair itself will be success
full is shown by the figures. The num-
Der of entries is considerably in ex-
cess of those of last year. Many of
the old-time exhibitors will be either
in the ring or occupy boxes. Among
these will be Alfred G. Vanderbilt, Mrs.

The hotels are even more crowded
than they were the day of the opening

quota of visitors, and the hotel pro-
prietors are happy.
