FEEDING THE COW.

The cows should be fed literally.
1t will be found profitable to feed
small grain ration during the sum
mer. It not only helps them to keep
up the flow of milk, but they come
into winter quarters in better con-
dition, do not dry up so quickly and
come out the next spring able to do
more work. Much, however, depends
On the cows and the feed
1t is claimed that this additi onal
feed in summer to the pasture is bet
ter for the manure and, besides,
gives superior milk and more of it.
An extensive dairyman says that
for twenty years his cows have had
dry hay before them every time
they were put in to be milked, which
was twice a day, and those COWS
would eat some of the dry hay.
This question of feeding grain or
hay in the summer time is very
important one. Professor San
born, of New Hampshire, some years
ego, made the experiment and found
that one pound of hay was equivalent
to one pound of grain for feeding his
cows in the. summer time on fresh
pasture.
An old western dairyman once said
that the most slovenly way of feed
ing cow is to let her, go to pas
ture; that she destroys more than
she will eat and if a man is using
vcry much fine pasture, especially on
high priced land, he is using it to
great disadvantage. He said he
could better afford to grow a crop
and feed it to the COW, so there would
be no waste.
1t is important with silage and
soiling crops to feed some dry hay
as we'll as grain through the sum-
mer for the effect that it has on the
digestive tract.
A speaker before dairymen's as
sociation said that some years back
he began feeding the cows grain in
the summer time and dry hay every
time they were being MIXED. He
came to do it by having had lot

GREEN CIT BONE.

Few persons would hesitate to in.
vest ten cents to increase the egg
production OF a hen, and the man
who keeps a hundred hens and will
invest ten dollars in green bone cut
ter will be able to furnish his fowls
with the best egg food possible to
procure. These bone grinders cut
green bone, to which Of course ad'
heres seize flesh and ligaments, into
shaving which hen can easily swal-
low. The bones are not hard to Sc.
cure on most farms, for the nearest
butcher will give you the pick of his
offal at very slight remuneration
and sometimes for practically moth
ing. One ounce twice week is the
proper amount to feed each fowl.
Green bones are full of the very
kind of nutriment the laying hen
needs and the growing chick de-
mands to make rapid Development.
No matter if the fowls do have thc
run of the farm, green cut bone will
be beneficial to them, although fowls
III range will not require so much
green bone as fowls in confinement.
We have mentioned ten dollars as
the cost of a coed bone grinder be-
cause the, smaller machines are, as
rule, not practical. 1t takes too
much time and too much labor to ac-
complish results with a little ma
chine that resembles a coffee mill in
size. But with a good modern make
of fair-size it is not a hard task to
cut enough bone for a hundred hens
and only few minutes of time would
be required. And the value of the
resulting feed cannot be too highly
valued for poultry. in maintaining
the health and thrift of the flock
stimulating egg production and pro-
noting quick development in young
stock.
The farmer should bear in mind
that there is quite a difference be-
tween a bone mill and a bone grind
er. The bone mill breaks or crusEes
only dry bones which arc not nearly
so valuable as green bones because
in the drying process the most valu.
able animal matter has disappeared
from them. But the value of fresh
green bones, with their adhering meat
and gristle, can scarcely be overesti.

HISTORIC ROME THREATENED.
Plans to Modernize the City Arouse
Much Opposition.


Paris, it seems, has been distressed
over the proposal to remove the old
book sellers along the quays on the
left bank of the Seine, but Rome,
according to the London Morning
Post correspondent, has for some time
been agitated about much larger
question-the moderniZation of the
whole city. In the undermining pro-
cess zeal appears to enter more large
ly than discretion, and Rome is threat
ened with the loss of much of its
outward charm and even some OF its
interest.
Of course in so far as the scheme
relates to the provision OF more hous-
ing accommodation it is not of mucn
interest to visitors except in so far
as it must tend to lower rents In
Rome; but it threatens to alter the
aspect of areas familiar to every one
who knows the city at all and there
fore is in reality not a merely local
matter.
Briefly the Romans are irritated
because the expert chosen to prepare
this new scheme is Sandman with
comparatively little experience OF
nome and also because the present
municipal council, before which such
a scheme must naturally come, Is
mainly composed CT non-Romans. They
are provoked by the haste with winch
a scheme of such wide effects is be-
ing hustled through.
It is proposed among other things
to pull down great many houses IN
the very heart Of the city itself, anc
the eagerness to get on with this part
of the work has caused it to be SAID
on all sides apparently that certain
spectators are trying to make money
cut of the ruins of medieval Rome.
One authority points out that IN
some of the sites where it is pro-
posed to build the new suburbs cata-
combs exist, and that If these SUI
burbs ae built either the catacomDs
will disappear or it will be the his
tory Of Korah over again--the ground
will cleave asunder and the earth
open her mouth and swallow up the
dwellers in the new houses and their
households and all the men that ap-
pertain unto them and all their gooos.
Again, with regard to the mira
mural changes, it is proposed to cut
the historic passage uniting the Vati'
can with the castle of st. Angelo; TO
drive a tunnel from the Piazza al
Spagna to the Villa Borghese beneath
the Villa Mcclellan immensely cost
ly proceeding, it is argued, and one
probably involving the sacrifice OF
part of the Medici Gardens, WHICH,
however, belongs to the French Acad-
envy: to destroy the church OF the
Crociferi (Crutched Friars), and to
modernize and transform the Via del
Coronari-this partly because 1t Is
said to be unhealthy.
The more cultivated classes arc
one and all opposed to the destruc'
tive parts of these proposals, while
the business men assail them on the
ground OF extravaganza, Romans ap-
parently having learned from former
experiences that the estimated and
the actual cost Of an undertaking are
not always identical.
