COW FEED.
Give Them Variety, II You Would
Get Results.

No animal likes variety of food more
than COW does, and none pays great
er returns than a COW. The Dairy
Review in abiding to this matter says
that for the stimulation of appetite
and aid in digestion some of her feeds
should be green and succulent, such
as roots and silage for winter. Some
linseed meal should be given at fire.

feed, but an excellent regulator Of the
digestive organs. Clover and alfalfa
hay are both rich In milk-forming ele-
ments, and give bulk to the ration.
Some corn should be given daily, espe-
cially through the cold months, be-
cause cows greatly relish the grain.
and it helps in forming butter fat and
In producing animal heat. Give the
cows about all they will clean up at
each feed, but shift change often, not
only the kinds, but the amounts of
each kind at different times. This
change gives stimulating variety to
feeds, and the cows thrive and pro-
duce on 1t.

English and Canadian houses. the
more uretentiOus ones, almost inyari'
ably have il direct connection between
the front door and the back part Of

many people who like to have the
front hall and the kitchen connected.
Every woman is born with a natural
desire to keep a servant and every

New Way to Clear Land.

The New North published at Rhine
lander gives this piece of information,
which if true, will do more for north
ern Wisconsin than the discovery of q
gold mine.
ssLary Nolan, one of the leading far
mers in town of Newbold, has discov-
ed process for pulling stumps, which
promises to be of untold value to the
farmers of the country. His method
which has already attracted widespread
attention is as follows:
with a pinch auger bore hole per-
pendicular into the stump about two
feet. Pour into this hole one pint of a
mixture Of equal parts of nitric and
sulphuric acids. Then plug the hoIe
tight with plug dipped in melted par
afine. In thirty days stumps so treat
ed will be charred, pulpy mass, root
and all, and may be spread over the
soil as fertilizer with shovel. Mr..
G5lrn has just stumped sixteen acres
on bis Newbold farm in this manner at
cost of four cents cash and five min
utcs labor per stump. The John K.
Davis Lumber Co. at Phillips has
adopted this process in clearing several
hundred acres of land in Price county,
