The Balanced Ration Fad:

We have heard a great deal about
balanced ratiens during the last few
years. Balanced rations for cows, for
feeding cattle, sheep, hogs, human be-
| ings and poultry, until good many
people really believe that a great deal
of feed is wasted unless it is properly
balanced and contains due percentages
of protein and carbohydrates.
Prof. Hacker gave some of the the
cries about balanced rations for cows
a sad shock by proving that it is not
necessary to feed dairy cows so care
fully, and Prof. Davenport said to me
one time that it was often good econo-
my to waste little cheap feed rather
than buy costly one in order to make
balanced ration.
Mr.. Mapes of New York announced
that he was hereto as far as feeding
balanced rations to poultry by telling
how he gave his hens mixture of all
kinds of feed and let them select what
they liked best.
While l have never tried to feed sci
entifically balanced rations to my poul-
try, | have roughly guessed at the
proper feeds so the hen might have
enough protein to produce eggs and
carbohydrates enough to prevent the
waste of protein, and have been very
we'll satisfied with the results.-Mil-

stick by the Live Stock Business.

Men are encountering a new set OF
conditions in the Central West. A
corn crop below normal in 1907 and
another of the same in 1908, has made
the grain prices look. very high to
the feeder, and it is not surprising if
1t tests the nerve even Of the old
timers. When men can sell corn di-
rect as high as 70 cents bushel the
incentiverto feed il, to- either steers
or, hogs with the possibility OF not
getting over cents for the weight

quickest way out of it is to. Simply.
make a cash deal and sell the corn.
To change over to the grain, selling
policy, however, is not farming in the
best sense of the term. !. 1t is soil
robbing. Values will eventually be
adjusted SO as to. offer sufficient slim
ulation to men to feed their own
grain. But those among our farmers
who are wisest in their day and gem
GRAFTON will not change, but will con-
tinue the policy Of feeding as usual
even if for no other. purpose. than
thai of maintaining the soils fertility

1t seems difficult for men to re-
member that land well filled with hu-

drouth, and, it is likewise better able
to go through wet spell than is poor.
and In other words taking it one
year with another, such soil would
be vastly more profitable than one
farmed under the robbing system.
This being true, we would very much
like to see men go on just about as
they have in the past. If they have
been making SO many pounds of beef
in year, let there be no change in
the policy; and, likewise, let the hogs
that are on hand be carried to good
market weight regardless of the
temptation that brisk prices for grain
will make. .....
The wisdom of carrying out the
same policy by men who are engaged
in breeding animals cannot be. ques-
toned for a moment. We cannot see
why any man who has raised fair
crop should keep single SOW less
than his usual quota, and the same is
applicable to cattle. 1t will be a
sorry day for agriculture when little
furry in market values will prevent
the carrying out of sane policy y
famers, policy that in the main
keeps up fertility This is the most
profitable policy and on that ground
alone it ought to be advocated more
and more.

Old and neglected orchards call for
severe pruning. Don't neglect that
this season. It may be done at any
time between the full of the leaves
and the rise of the sap next spring.
Trees that have not borne for the last
two years should be well opened up

If the world had not passed beyond
the age of myth-making the disaster
in southern Italy would be ascribed to
the turning of Enceladus in his sleep.
Enceladus was one of the giants who
rebelled against Jupiter. He was killed
by one of Jupiters thunderbolts, &C.
cording to Virgil, and buried under
Mount Etna. When he turns In his
grave the earth quakes, and when he
breathes the mountain belches forth
fire and smoke. 1t was the peculiar
geographical and geological formations
round Sicily and the Strait of Messina
that gave rise to many of the ancient
myths. The rock of Scylla, dangerous
to navigators, was believed to be the
home of a monster which seized the
sailors from the decks of the ships
that passed too near. The whirlpool
of Charybdis, across the strait, was
said to be caused by another monster
which swallowed the sea and spewed
it out again three times a day. The
Sirens lived on an island in the neigh
borhood and charmed sailors to their
destruction. They were finally foiled
by Odysseus, who closed the ears of
his sailors with wax and had himself
dashed to the mast of his ship. So
chagrined were the three sisters that
they threw themselves into the sea,
and were transformed into rocky is
lands which bear their Names

China is entering upon period of

manufactured products in addition to
lumber, wheat and flour, the chief
commodities secured from this coast
at present. He urges Americans to
build up markets in the Orient, say
