Guide to Feeding.

Feeding too much or too little will
cut down the profits. Too much feed
will make the old birds fat and lazy.
and they will not lay many eggs or lay
very fertile ones. Too much stufIing
of chicks will injure their digestion.
When more is fed than is really need
ed, some of the feed is wasted. When
not enough is fed, there cannot, OF
course, be profitable egg production By
young ones. The feeding for birds OF
any age should be just small enough
to keep the appetite keen for every
meal. That is the best general guide.

EertlIlty Account Of the Dairy.

that most farmers are now able to get
as much out of that 107 pounds OF
nitrogen as from that they purchase.
1t is worth as much to them, and 1t
should and does contribute to the pro-
duction Of raw material. II 1t does not
do so, It is because 1t is not handled
properly or 1t is not used properly. We
have made some experiments on this
line. We allowed the manure to leach
in the winter and out of 107 pounds
found we had in three months lest

and the best portion Of nitrogen also
went out in teaching process. In or

crop which We might expect by apply
ing the waste produce in its original
state, as compared with its leached
state, We applied both corn ard oats.
Upon the fresh manure increased the
yield 5s.4, 20 tons per acre; upon corn.
the leached manure increased the yield
36 percent. On oats the increase was
20 percent from the use of percent.
We lost the nitrogen itself in the
teaching process. The matter is an
important one to consider. We should
apply the manure fresh and as fast
as 1t is made, as the preferable way.

ST. Luke.

Tradition says that st. Luke was a
painter. st. Paul. who knew and loved
him, tells us that he was a doctor.
The scholars of today believe him to
have been a Greek slave, and all who
read his gospel know that he was a
poet. Whether the tradition which
puts a brush into the hand of the
Greek physician Is Trustworthy or not,
st. Luke as word painted is unsur-
passed in the history of letters. The
great Italian masters read him Alright.
the first two chapters of his gospel
resolve themselves into a picture
which represents a group of persons
surrounding a child. The outstanding
figure is, of course, the blessed maid"
In her arms the child who was born
in a stable, yet who came of ''the root
and offspring of David" Joseph, the
carpenter we hardly see. From Mat
thew we know that he was a Just man

even sketch his character. The priest

Take Care of Seed Corn.

Apropos of the article in recent
issue Of the American Cultivator up
on preserving seed corn and other
seeds, w. c. Mason Of Pawlet, VT,
says that much of the trouble from
infertile seed corn is caused by its
being exposed to freezing weather
before the grain is thoroughly dry. His
practice is to keep 1t in a dry, warm
room-a modern dairy stable will an
swer-until midwinter or until he is
sure 1t is well dried. when 1t may
be hung in any protected, dry spot.
But he thinks there is no advantage in
exposing 1t to storms.
Mr.. Mason has also found from act
ual tests that 1t is not essential that
seed corn be selected only from that
fully ripe and glazed. But that If the
corn is fully grown, though in quite a
milky stage. it will terminate well If
treated as he suggests and practices.

Killing steers on the Farm.

A correspondent asks me about
the ''beef. rings" which are formed
among farmers for the pur-
pose of supplying fresh meat to their
members In the first place 1t is neces-
sary to have sixteen or twenty MEM
bers, for a carcass can be cut to best
advantage, when 1t Is cut into 16 or
20 portions. When beef is the only
meat provided, each member agrees to
furnish a well-fattened steer or heifer,
not over two years old. A regular
butcher is hired to do the killing. and
cutting up the portions. A strict ac-
count is kept of each animal furnished,
and also of each members weekly por-
ton. At the close of the season any
differences in values are adjusted. This
is the system followed by one very sue
cessful association. Other systems may
differ in detail, but the main idea is
the same. The two things which must
be settled at the start are, value Of
each animal to be killed, and value Of
each portion. Then IL one man gets
better portion than another he pays
accordingly.-L. c., In the Indiana
