Indoor VS.. Outdoor Feedinu

The question of the economy of in
door versus outdoor feeding for fatten-
Ing steer. in a climate such as that of
central Pennsylvania has been studied
by the Pennsylvania experiment sta
zion, among others, for several years.
In a recent bulletin of this station, L.
]. Mairs and II. CT. Miller report eNper-
iments on this subject carried on dur
ing the winter of 1904-5, and SUM
,mariZe the work of previous expert
ments along the same line. In these
experiments twenty-four grade steers
containing Galloway. Shorthorn> Here
ford or Aberdeen Angus blood, divided
into two lots of twelve each, were used,
'one lot being fed in a pen in the base
lnent Of the college barn and the other
in an open shed in 4 yard adjoining
the barn. The two lots were fed alike
on a ration of ear corn, corn slower and
Elover hay. The -four main points on
which observations were made We're:
Cd The comparative gain in live
weight; CD health and vigor of the
animals as indicated by appetite and
general appearance; go the relative
economy of the two methods as far as
relates to amount of feed consumed per
pound of gain, and Cd relation OF gain
to temperature of surroundings.
, The results obtained in experiments
made during three years are
ICED in the following table:
Summary of results of three years
experiments in feeding steers in the

while only two individuals stated that
they practiced stall feeding. The per-
centage OF those who fed without sheds
was greater among Iowa and Nebraska
correspondents than among those in
Illinois.
With regard to the possibilities Of Sc
curing better results, providing the
steers had acces to closed sheds or
warm barns, two-thirds OF the corre-
spondents believed that such protec-
tlon would be advantageous. many
making the qualification that the barn
or shed should be well ventilated and
nEStsS y t62. the steers frust not
be confined too closely.
In q discussion of the question Of
barns VS.. sheds. II. r.. Smith. of the
Nebraska experiment station. draws
to the fact that there is dan
ger in overhousing cattle as well as in
underhousing. Cattle are not likely
To be uncomfortable, ever during cold
weather, SO long as they are protected
from cold winds and have a dry bed.
The latter is more necessary than is
ordinarily supposed, and a roof is no
doubt worth more than it's cost
Tor this purpose. 1t would seem
that. in the northern states especially,
some sort of a shed open on the side
opposite prevailing winds is most sat
isfactory for fattening CATTLE
1t is evident from the data which
has been summarized that the results
OF different investigators have not been
entirely uniform, some having found
barns slightly more advantageous than
sheds and others the reverse. 1t seems
fair 10 conclude hat skillful feeders
nave obtained satisfactory results by
both methods, and that, i'm general,
profitable stock feeding depends more
upon other questions of feeding and
management than upon the kind and
noun of shelter provided.
When very large numbers of cattle
are fattened it is evident that the COM
parative cost Of housing in barns and
sheds must be taken into account and
that sheds would be much the cheaper

HOW TO TRAIN a COLT.

Nv A Stenson in Farm, Stock and Home.
Start the colts education when quite
Young. When he is only a few hours old
I like 10 put my arm around his neck and
teach him that i can control him; do 1T
quietly and carefully, and he will not
struggle very much. This is one lesson,
and n colt never forgets a lesson OF that
kind. This is true also If he gets q bad
trick, and you want TO remember this IN
educating him. / put a little natter on the
colt when he is a few days old, and teach
him | can control him that way. DO not
put your strength against his, but andle
him quietly, pull him forward by degrees
and when he comes to you pat him and
give him a l.ttle sugar. Treat him kindly;
he will want a little of his own way. give
him a little, but give him a little more OF
yours, cutwit him. Treat him just as you
would your wife If you wanted your own
way and differed a I.ttle bit with her, on
the principle that you can catch a good
many more flies with molasses than you
can with vinegar.
Teach the colt as he grows Older to get
used to straps, educate him little by little,
put the bit i'm his mouth and get him ac-
customed to that. Next you check him up
a little and then a little more. Don't jerk
him up hard. but get him used to the bit
gradually, and if he is a little obstreperous
and doesn't come up promptly put your
ropes on him and teach him that you can
throw him down If you want 20, and keep
him down as long as you want to. Some
day Just slip the halter rope through a
ring in his tail, so that he will have to
walk in a circle, and he will begin TO think
that his master is a wonderful creature,
and il VIII do him good to think so. II
won't do him any harm once in a while to
take him out and slip a big handkerchief
over his eyes: sometimes that will work
wonderfully on a horse that balks with
YOU. YOU must outwit horses, teach them
in that way and they will get confidence
in you.
Never whip a horse. unless your best
judgment say that one good. sharp cut
with the whip is necessary to teach him
some lesson, and and then do not do II
unless you have him where he can't get
away from you or get into trouble.
Teach the colt to allow you TO pick UP
his feet, so he can learn to be shod, and
then always notice If the hoofs AVE not
grown too much on one side, so as to
throw him out of balance, and If they
have, trim off the parts that are too long.
so as to keep him standing squarely on his
feet. Many colts feet are spoiled by care
lessness in letting them break off the
side Of the hoof and allowing the
other side TO grow too long.
Keep the colt growing all the time, from
the time he is born until you are ready
TO put him on the market. If possible. do
not let him lose his colt flesh that ne puts
on with his mothers milk.

CARE OF TIE HANDS,.

If a is wise she will take the
precaution TO wear gloves when black
ing a stove, busting a room, sweeping
or doing any XII OF work that will soil
the hands. A pair of white cotton
gloves is a great protection to the hands
when hanging out clothes, and these
may be knitted from white tidy cotton
or made of white canton hannel. A
good way to polish the stove without
having your hands ruined with black
ing is 10 put a sWab on one end of a
small stick, then put your hand in a
loose glove, take hold of the brush and
polish the stove.
HouSeWork is rather hard on the
hands, but there are some precautions
which, If taken, will add greatly to the
comfort of the worker and the appear
ance of the hands. Use only the best
soap for washing the hands, and keep
on hand a mixture of corn meal and
vinegar, and rub them well with ii af-
ter having washed them at any time
during the day. The hands should al
ways be carefully and thoroughly dried
after washing.
In DISTINGUISHING n cannot wear
gloves, and the hot water will
the hands TO swell and grow tender.
but if a dish mop is used and plenty of
hot water the hands need scarcely be
put in the dishpan, and If the dish
towels are put in strong suds after
each time of using they may be kept
soft and white as long as they last.
This may seem trouble, but the hands
are saved as we'll as the towels, as they
never have time to become very soiled.
and it takes very little rubbing to keep
them clean. At night soak the hands
in hot water, wipe them dry with a
soft towel and rub them well with a lit
tie mutton tallow, softened to make 1t
penetrate well. The meal in the day
time and the tallow at night will be
as good for the hands as some of the
expensive preparations.
