SOAKING STOCK FOOD.
Some Hints For Breeders by Professor
Thomas Shaw.


Thomas Shaw.
Food is seldom soaked for horses. In
the true sense of soaking 1t is proba-
bly, never thus prepared. But when
horses are worked hard it has in many
instances been found profitable to chaff
the hay and grind The grain and to mix
the grain with suf6ciency of cut hay
which has been moistened with wafer
When horses are on short allowance
for time to eat they can take more food
In a given time thus prepared than if
given in the ordinary way.
Bran is also fed to them occasionally
as a mash-that is, water is poured on
it, frequently hot, and the mass is STIR
red so that it all becomes moist. Thus
prepared the bran can be more readily
eaten by horses, and the influence on
the digestive tract is also probably
more helpful because of the moisture
than if the mass had been fed dry.
Food is seldom soaked for cattle The
chief exception is corn. 1t is n3t soak
ed when thus prepared for them in Or
der to make it more digestible. but be-
cause of certain eXigencies that arise
relating to the feeding. When corn
gets very dry, especially on the cob,
and is fed to cattle for a long term of
feeding it is liable to produce soreness
of the mouth. When this result fol-
lows they are chary about consuming
it and do not eat enough to produce
ments have shown that corn soaked
for swine does not produce more gains
than when fed dry. Cattle not only
moisten food well while masticating,
but the fluids are abundant with which
it comes in contact in rumination and
also in the various processes of diges-
ton.
Sheep do not require soaked food In
fact, it would be more or less distaste-
full to them. They have an almost
marvellous power of masticating food,
80 that it can be completely digested.
Nearly ell If not indeed all the small
cereals are greatly improved for swine
by soaking them. In some instances,
when the weather will admit of it,
they may be soaked for at least three
days. Usually, however, they are fur
ther improved by grinding and also by
soaking subsequently. When thus pre-
pared they are more readily consumed,
somewhat more easily digested and
will be consumed in larger quantities.
1t is admissible in the winter to
feed whole grain other than corn to
swine well advanced in growth and to
brood sows when scattered on hard
and olaan fnndinp in q
trough it will be consumed SO quickly
that much of it will escape Digestion

Honesty In Selling Stock.

There is no business in the world
where reliability and absolute truth is
so essential as with a breeder of blood
ed stock. He knows all about his
stock, their strong points and their
weak ones. In his sales he can ad-
vance the breed or injure it and can
help a customer or be his ruin, for his
customers are entirely at his mercy.
He can be man or jockey. A breed
er should be so honest and upright that
a stranger might write him for an ami
NAL, telling him the weak points in his
own breeding and rest assured that
what he received would remedy the de-
fects. A breeder should feel that in
terest in the success of his favorite
breed that would not allow him to ever
sell an animal to a customer unless he
honestly believed it would be. benefit
to him. M. Winslow, Ayrshire

Dutch System Of Feeding.

The Dutch system Of feeding and
rearing the famous Holstein-Friesian
cattle is simplicity itself. The calves
are given whole milk until about five
weeks old, when the ration Is gradual
ly changed to skim milk and grain.
The grain is cooked or steamed and
fed with the milk at first and later fed
dry Immediately before the milk is
given. When grass is available, it
forms the entire ration for heifers, and
during winter the rations are only suf
icient to keep them growing. Bulls
are fed in the same manner until they
are a year old, after which they are
closely confined, but regular exercise
is given daily. Bulls used for breed
ing are kept in stables or paddocks
and are well fed, but not allowed to
become fat. Roots in winter and green
forage in summeSg, mg, are largely .used

Adam Knew the Flood Was Coming.
An apocryphal book called the LESS
er Genesis and well known to the
early Christian fathers tells a wonder
full incident in the life Of Seth, the
third son Of Adam and Eve. When
the goodly Seth was about forty years
Of age, he was ''rapt' up into heaven
by trio Of angels and there told and
shown what was in store for mankind.
Among other things, the coming of the
great deluge was made known to him,
as was also the coming Of the Saviour.
When he returned to earth, Seth told
his parents what had happened and of
what he had seen and heard concern
Ing the future of the human race. "And
Adam was much grieved when it was
made known to him that the world
would be destroyed by water on &C
count of the wickedness of his own
children, but great peace and calm
ness came over him when Seth told
how the face of the earth would again
be repeopled. His joy was ex-
ceedingly great when Seth related
what was In store in the coming ages,
and he was particularly glad to know
that redemption should finally come
through Jesus, the Christ"

THE HORSEMAN

Horses seldom suffer from decayed
teeth, but because Of the upper teeth
closing on the lower ones a little on the
outside points sometimes are formed
which lacerate the cheek or penetrate
the gums, creating a tenderness that
prevents the proper mastication of
food, annoying the horse SO that he
falls away very rapidly.
To prevent sore shoulders of working
horses H. e. Cook recommends perfect
ly fitting collars, fitted to the shoulders
by working the horse in them after a
thorough soaking of the collars. He
cumstances, except where they become
absolutely necessary because of lack
of properly fitting collars.
One of the most important items in
the welfare of a horse is a plentiful
supply Of pure, fresh water. Water
should be given the first thing in the
morning, and it should be offered the
last thing at night when the final
round Of the barn is made.
Teach the foal to eat early. A few
ground oats and bran with a little milk
Is a desirable ration. The foal will not
take much at first, but will soon show
readiness for hearty meals. In the
early part Of the season it will always
pay to allow the foal to suck some
time during the forenoon and also in
the afternoon, giving the mare drink
and few oats to eat while the foal is
sucking. 1t will benefit both the mare
rio.
It is easier to keep colts from learn
ing bad tricks than to break them Of
these habits. For that reason have
every strap and rope used by the colts
80 strong that they cannot be broken.
Once a colt finds out that he can get
away from a halter or other part Of
harness there will be trouble perhaps
for all time.
Always be careful to give the mares
plenty of exercise in winter after the
work on the farm is done.
It Is great mistake to overfeed or
pamper horse beyond certain stage.
When straw is used every spear
should be taken out of the stall every
morning. The soiled and wet parts
should be put on the compost heap
and the rest put in the sun to air and
dry for use the following night
Heating a horse isn't SO dangerous.
It's the cooling off.
A healing liniment much liked by
horsemen is made as follows: One part
liquid carbolic acid, four parts giyeeTin
and six parts sweet 50.

THE FEEDER

Grain mixtures are more satisfactory
than unmixed grain. 1t seems that the
sheep like the mixture better and
make more rapid gains.
Feeding Hogs Corn.
1t has been proved by series of ex.
periments that corn alone is the most
expensive feeding stuff for hogs.
One part Of oilmeai and four parts
Of corn made a gain of 1.4s pounds
Of pork at cost of $2.75 per hun
dred. Corn alone makes just about
half as much gain at a cost Of 1888
per hundredweight. This represents
the two extremes in the experiment,
1t is possible that some farmers may
see In this the reason why they have
not been making more from their hogs.
The average man has plenty Of corn,
and his crop Of oilmeal depends upon
the liberality with which he buys. 1t
seems expensive to buy feed when the
cribs are full and running over. As
q matter Of fact 1t Is economical. says
Kimbalps Dairy Farmer. It does not
pay 10 e2nAne tns hogs 10 one food.

THE ROAD TO
M FAME @
By ALBERT HIGGINS
BY ALBERT HIGGINS

1t was Grandma Foster who was to
blame for it. She came on a visit to
her daughter, Farmer Stebbins' wife,
and found her niece Hattie teaching
the district school and engaged to be
married to worthy young man named
Hiram Ball Miss Hattie was fairly
educated, fairly good looking and very
well contented with her life.
Grandma's coming, however, started
the fires of ambition. Once during her
long life the old lady had attended
theatrical performance. 1t was in the
town hall of her native village. The
play was Uncle Toms Cabin" of
course, and the company was made up
of transformers, but it was great
play, and it made grandma, who was
only little girl then. thrill from top
to toe.
Soon after her arrival at the Steb-
binses Hattie walked across the veran-
da in a way that made the old lady
exclaim:
'sBless my soul if that don't remind
me of Ophelia in Uncle Toms Cabin!
You've got her walk to perfection.
Child, have you been practicing for the
stage?"
mo, grandma"
"But the way you just turned around,
your looking back at me with your
head over your shoulder, your smile,
the way you stick up your chin, all re-
mind me of Ophelia. You could step
right on the stage and play the charac-
ter"
That was the beginning. Grandma
announced her great discovery to her
sister and brother-in-law and advised
them to put Hattie on the stage at
once; but, meeting with decided oppo-
sition, she said nothing further to
them. Many wese the councils held
between her and the niece, however.
It had been forty-two years since
grandma had seen the historic play
and what she couldn't remember she
imagined. Within q week she had de-
cided that Hattie could not only play
the part Of Ophelia, but Of little Eva,

Legree, Marks and even of Uncle Tom
himself. She couldn't fail to be the
whole show, and in four weeks she
would rise from Uncle Toms Cabin"
to ShakeSpearean plays. The old lady
believed what she said, and the young
lady believed with her. Hiram Ball
tried his best to open his fiancee's eyes.
"Your grandmother is a foolv' was
his blunt way of putting it. Because
you can smile and giggle is no sign
that you would make u great actress.
You just give up the idea and settle
down and behave yourself"

my presence" replied the young lady.
with freezing dignity, as she took three
strides to the east and then turned
about and took three strides to the
i west.
Hattie Stebbins, don't make a jay
OF yourself. You'll never be an actress
any more than I'll be Cicero. 1t hain't

"Speak for yourself, Mr.. Ball. My
resolution is taken. 1t is irrevocable.

Then go right along and make
fool of yourself." called Hiram as she
turned away.
When the grandmother was inform

Ball she held out new encouragement.
She discovered new things to found
