Feeding Cows on Grass.

Professors Stewart and Atwood, OF
the West Virginia Experiment Station
last year conducted some careful tests
to determine whether it is profitable tc
feed milk COWS grain on grass. With,
out going into the details of these eX-
periments we quote the conclusions as
follows:
This experiment clearly shows thai
there was no direct financial gain il
feeding the grain to the COWS while al
pasture. 1t is true that the COWS
which received grain were uniformly
in somewhat better flesh than those
that did not receive grain, but as far
as the milk yield was concerned the
increased flow was produced at an ac-
tual loss" Data obtained in similar
experiments at other stations are sum
married., and from these in comparison
with their own Investigations the au-
thOrs conclude that unless dairy prod
ucts are especially high in price it is
not a profitable practice to feed grain
to cows at pasture. 1t is true that more
milk is obtained and the COWS hold UP
their yield better and remain in better
flesh when receiving the grain rations.
but under ordinary circumstances there
is no direct profit from the grain feed
ing, as the increased production usual
~ costs more than it can be sold for

Leg Weakness,

Leg weakness is due to chicks be-
coming heavy rapidly, so that the
weight of their body is too much for
their legs. This is not always an alarm
ing condition, for it denotes that the
chicks are growing fast. and if careful
ly guarded and fed properly they will
pull through all right The cause
arises from heavy feeding and forcing,
which carries the chicks forward so
rapidly as to cause the legs to fail.
Change the food to light diet of veg
etables and feed bone meal in the food.
They should also be well protected
against the dampness, and the difficult
ty will soon pass away. Leg weakness
is nearly always due to rapid growth of
the body or from lack of uniformity of
heat in breeders, if the chicks are small
enough to be kept in brOOder. Crowd
ing and pressing together to keep warm
at night is a main cause of little chicks
having leg weakness. No great alarm
need be entertained unless the trouble
continues for too long a time. but
change the food and keep the birds
dry.

Orchard Work

4 good test of a mans Christianity
is to examine his apple barrel from
top to bottom.
A man may be a good woodchopper,
but that is 10 sign that he knows how
to prune trees.
An Ak and a saw in the hands of an
ignorant man cause more damage to
the fruit crops of this land than all the
birds that are Matched.
Fruit sells best when properly grad
ed. The best viii bring a better price
and the lower grades will generally
bring as good a price as the entire lot
would if mixed.
For summer pruning of trees the best
time is from the 10Th of June to the
10th of July. just when the sap is run
ming freely. When the tree is in leaf
you can tell better what 20 cut out.
Some people imagine that all that is
necessary to have a good orchard is to
plant variety of good trees and let
'em rip" 1t generally takes years to
discover their mistake, but they finally
discover it.

FACTS ABOUT TAPEWORMS.
Their Source Puzzled Scientists Until
Won Siebo1d Discovered 1t.

A German named Won Siebold made
himself a specialist on tapeworms, and
IN the course Of his researches discov-
cred that cats and owls were infested
with exactly the same kind of tape
worms. He then cogitated on what the
bird and the cat could possibly have in
common, and concluded that it could be
only in the single matter Of diet, namely,
that both ate mice. He proceeded then
to investigate mice, and found in some
of them not tapeworms, but a great
number Of minute bag-shaped creatures
now called cysticerci, which had bur
rowed into their flesh. These had as
little resemblance as possible to tape
worms, which may be twenty feet long.
He then fed the meat. Of such unfortu-
nate mice to dogs, pigs and chickens,
and in due time, 10. all three grew the
same tapeworms with those of cats and
owls The cOmmonest kind among our
tapeworms comes from eating beef not
sufficiently cooked to kill the cysticerci
in it.-Dr. William Hanna Thomson, in

Short suggestions.

Never mix a French dressing until
ready for use The vinegar ard oil
will separate.
Boil six peach kernels in a quart of
milk to be used for custard. 1t will
improve the flavor.
4 good cook adds a teaspoonful of
sugar to each quart of water in which
corn, peas, squash, etc, are cooked.
Cruel, when properly prepared,

and should be absolutely free from
Jumps.
Teakettles would last longer if, after
use. they were turned upside down to
drain dry. 1t is the little drop of water
left at the bottom which starts the rust
that ends in a leak.
One often hears complaints that the
boiler rusts and ironmolds the clothes.
To prevent this, as soon as the boiler
is emptied rub well over with soap.
This will not only prevent rust, it will
also help to make suds for the next
boiling.
To keep mice away from pantries and
cupboards sprinkle cayenne pepper on
the shelves. In boxes and wardrobes
put Jumps of camphor among the
clothes. for mice dislike the smell of it.
The camphor must be renewed every
now and then, for it evaporates in the
air.
Peanut butter is made by macerat-
ing fresh Drowned peanuts to fine pulp.
They must be run through a chopping
machine, or if finely crushed can be
run through a coffee mill. The nuts
are then mixed with enough butter
so that the mixture can be spread on
bread.
