Bran is an excellent food for poul-
try in all stages of growth as we'll as
for laying hens. One great point in
its favor is its cheapness. 1t contains
larger proportion of lime than any
other food at the price, and lime is
essential to growth of bone, muscles
and feathers, as we'll as the formation
of shells for eggs. Lime which is
found in food for some reason is much
more easily assimilated than in the
form Of oyster shell and the like.
Wheat is most excellent poultry food,
but the high price prohibits many
from using it freely. Bran and clio
yer used in connection with oats will
produce as good results. Clover and
alfalfa are rich in lime and should he
had at all times in the green state
when possible and in the form of we'll
cured hay the rest of the year. Cut
alfalfa and bran may be fed in the
form of a mash. Skim milk is an ideal
thing 10 moisten it with Fowls. how
ever, will consume quantities of bran
dry fed from a self-feeder and they
eat alfalfa or clover hay freely from
the stack or manager
Bran may be used mixed with the
cut grain u the self-feeder and per
haps this is the most convenient form
Of ali in which to use it.
Some of the most valuable food
properties contained in the wheat are
left in the bran and its food value for
poultry is not fully appreciated by
many poultry raisers or we would see
more of them using it in the ration.
II you feed bran, clover and alfalfa
you need on oyster shell and very little
cut bone or lean meat In fact a flock
will get on and yield lots of eggs with
gu any attempt to furnish meat if the
bran and alfalfa is fed."-Poultry

Best Grating Wax,

The following is claimed to be the
best grating wax, by an old orchard
list who says he has tried a great
many: To four pounds of rosin and
one of beeswax add one pint of Iinseed
oil: put in an iron pot. heat Slowly
and mix; pour into cold water and pull
until it assumes q light color. Work
into sticks, and put into a cool place
until wanted. Some prefer linseed oil
to animal fat for grating wax.

Cheap FertfIiins..

Some of the best farms in the East
have been brought to the highest de-
gree of fertility by the use of clover
lime and manure. The farmers who
have accomplished such results have
aimed to save every pound of manure
and also to preserve it in the best
manner. Lime is used extensively by
those who know that lime is an essen.
tial ingredient of plants, and also be
cause it is excellent for increasing tie
clover crop. Glover enriches the land
by promoting the supply of nitrogen in
the soil, hence lime and clover make
an excellent combination.

A VOnderfuI Record

Many so-called specifics" and
"cures" for Rheumatism have already
been brought before the public: but
when Rheumatism, Neuralgia and kim
dred diseases have become chronic and
threaten serious results, you may rest
assured that they will help but very
little, if any. Although not recon-
mended as 'infallible," the peculiar
qualities of ST. Jacobs Oil especially
adapt it to those cases which may be
termed chronic" and which have pre-
viously witnstood all known "speci-
fics," as well as the prescriptions Of
the best physicians.

COwpeas and Alfalfa.

Experiments at the Tennessee Exper-

much better where cowpeas have been
turned under. That does not necessar-
lily prove that cowpeas have provided
the right alfalfa bacteria; it may only
show that they have filed the soil
with available plant food and the al
falfa is working on that, whereas if it

Plants that Poison One Another.

1t is a matter of common observa-
ton that grass does not grow so well
close to trees as in the open. The same
is true of grains. Experiments in Eng
land and in this country have shown
that the deleterious effects of the near
neighborhoOd of grass and trees are
mutual. The trees suffer as we'll as the
grass and grain. This is especially true
Of fruit trees. Tie cause is ascribed
to the excretion by the trees on the
one hand, Of substances poisonous to
the grass, and by the grass. on the
other hand, Of substances poisonous to
the trees. 1t thus appears that the
failure of grass to grow well near trees
should not be ascribed to too MUCK
shade. but to the exhaustion by the
tree roots Of the full supply needed by
the grass.

Glover and Fodder.

Glover and corn furnish a fodder
ration that can not easily be improved
upon for dairy cows. Two factors
should be taken into account when de-
terminlng the amount Of grain to feed.
One is the extent to which clover or
alfalfa is fed, and the second is the
production of the cow Ike rule with
some is to feed one pound of grain for
every three pounds Of milk produced.
When clover or alfalfa form a large
part Of the ration it would seem rea-
sonable to suppose that less quantity
of grain would suffice than the amounts
named.
