Two Marks of Beauty,

Beautiful eyes and brows are, In

Many a plain woman Is redeemed BY

by red-rimmed,. dull. lusterless eyes.
But at tie same time great deal may
be done to make even unpromisine
eyes clear and attractive, to render
eyes which are only passably pretty
really beautiful.
Attention to the general health will
go far to make the eyes clear and
bright and prevent fatigue, even when
they are called upon to do a great
deal of work.
Have you never noticed the dull
eyes OF person afflicted With dyspen

y y order that the feeds fed to stock
may be used TO the best possible
advantage It is necessary that
they should be OF the proper
kinds and fed In the proper amounts.
one Of the important things to take
into account In determining the value
Of a feeding stun is It's digestibility.
Some feeds such as Oat straw, are not
more than 80 per cent digestible, while
IN the case Of the corn grain over 80
per cent is used by the animal. Feeds
with a high percentage OF digestibility,
ike the grains are called concentrates,
while those with a large amount OF in
digestible crude fiber are called rough
feeds
Every animal must have a certain
amount Of roughage; otherwise the
grain would lie in the stomach In a
heavy. sodden mass. which could hard
ly be penetrated by the digestive
Juices, and indigestion would be sure
to result. The crude fiber, while in
dlgestible in itself, dnutes the more
concentrated feeds and greatly hastens
the process of digestion. The rumi-
nants are able to obtain large share
Of their feed from rOughage. Horses
use considerable, though owing to
their smaller stomach they cannot use
as large quantities as cattle do. Swine
are usually regarded as grain eating
animals, yet they. too do better for
having some roughage Mature hogs
will maintain themselves on good
rape or clover pasture without any
grain at all. and fattening swine will
make greater gain II fed on pasture.
Milford chronicle., 1910-04-29

ration may be nor how rapid gains It
Will produce. If those gains are put on
at too great an expense the feeding
operations viii result I'm loss. For the
last two years, for instance. bran and
shorts have been so high IN price that
it IS doubtful If they could be fed at
a profit Bran produces large milk
fow when fed to cows. but silage and
clover hay are just as good and cost
only a fraction as much.
The question Of how much a farmer
can AFFORD to spend for concentrated
byproducts IS always perplexing
one. Something is needed to balance
the corn. which is the principal feed
on most farms. If nothing else is fed
with corn it will not be thoroughly
dlgested and much of the nutriment
which it contains will be wasted.
When corn is cheap this does not mat
ter so much, but when the price goes
up to 80 or 30 cents a bushel II be
comes an important consideration.
This applies not only to corn. but to
other grains as we'll since all contain
an excess Of carbohydrates and fat.
Oats come the nearest to being a bal
anced ration Of any farm grain, but
they are usually too expensive to be
fed exclusively. Mixing oats with corn
does not make a balanced ration. since
the oats have scarcely enough protein
to balance their own carbohydrates
and fats. Another factor which must
be taken into consideration is the
health Of the animals This VIII surely
suffer If they are compelled to live
long on a single kind Of feed, especial
" one that is as low in protein as corn
is.
When grain is high in price the saw
ing effected by the purchase OF some
supplementary feed rich in protein
will usually much more than pay the
cost. In buying feed to balance corn
or other grain the chief consideration
should be the amount Of digestible
protein which It contains. Ash IS also
important, especially if it is to be fed
with corn. which is low in ash BY
dividing the price per ton Of feed by
the number Of pounds Of digestible
protein ia a ton the price per pound
Of protein is easily determined. Thus
the comparative cost Of protein In the
different byproducts can be figured
out and the one used which will fur
nish It In the cheapest form
For hogs there IS probably no better
or cheaper source Of protein than tank
age or meat meal 4 ration Of one
part Of this to ten parts of corn is an
ideal one for fattening hogs. For
growing pigs the amount Of tankagc
should be doubled and some skimmilt
added If It can be obtained. Mix IS
an almost perfect food for all young
stock, and the farmer who has a large
supply of # has big part Of his feed
ing problem solved.
Another feed that is invaluable for
young pigs and calves is dried blood
or blood -four. Nothing else VIII stop
scours so quickly nor do so much to-
ward starting along an unthrifty pig
or calf. heaping teaspoonful to
feed is enough for a young calf, with
proportionate amounts for the pigs
The reason that these packing house
byproducts are especially valuable for
young animals is because Of the large
amount, of ash which they contain
The use Of such feeds insures strong
bones and healthy, vigorous animals.

ZIG. xxv1I-rHERE Is NO FOOD BETTER
THAN MILK FOR YOUNG ANIMALS.
In winter. when pasture is not availa-
BILE. hogs will eat considerable amounts
Of clover or alfalfa hay if they can
get It and will be healthier and make
better gains for having it.
Another important quality in a feed
STUFF is its palatability. Stock will
make greater gains on feeds that they
like, even though they contain no
more nutritiVe material than those
that are not SO palatable. Closely re-
lated to palatability is succulence or
juciness. Cows give a large flow OF
milk on pasture not SO much because
of It's high feeding value, but because
Of its succulence and palatability
Stock Of any kind viii not make the
best use Of their feed If given moth
ing but dry hay and grain.
The most satisfactory means Of pro
viding succulent and palatable feed
during the winter is by the use Of the
gilo. Silage has a high feeding value
and is cheap. since from eight to
twelve tons can be raised on an acre.
II dnds its greatest use as feed for
dairy cows. but also makes a prOhta-
Bile addition to the ration Of nearly
all classes Of stock.
The most important point to consid-
er In preparing a ration is the rela-
tive proportion of the different con
stituents. Fats and carbohydrates
are Interchangeable and can be con
sidered together. since they both go
to furnish heat and energy or to build
up animal fat Neither Of these sub
stances. however. can take the place
Of protein. since neither Of them con-
tains nitrogen. To build up the mus
cles organs and other parts Of the
bodv which require this element con-
siderable protein must be fed. The
ordinary feeds found on the farm
contain too little protein In proportion
to the other substances. To secure
the best results a balanced ration
that is. one i'm which the amount OF
protein is in the proper proportion to
the amounts of fats and carbohy-
drates-must be fed.
1t can readily be seen that what is n
balanced ration for one class Of stock
NAV not be for another. Young calves,
colts and pigs require more protein
and ash in their food than do mature
animals A work horse needs large
amounts Of fat and carbohydrates To
supply him with energy. but he also
needs considerable protein to repair
his muscles. which wear out very
RAPIDLY. A fattening steer needs only
a minimum amount Of protein, since
he is neither growing nor using his
muscles A milk COW needs great
deal OF protein and ash to use In max
ing milk. together with a liberal
amount Of the other constituents, to
supply energy and to make into but
ter fat. A pregnant animal is in espe-
cial need Of protein and ash to use in
building up the bones and flesh Of its
offspring. All animals need larger
Quantities of the heat forming ele-
ments in the winter in order to keep
the body warm.
Another important point. one that
must not be lost sight Of in preparing
rations for any class Of stock. is the
cost. It makes no difference how di-
Restible, palatable or wen balanced

FIG. XVIII - CLOVER FASIL ltE - AN E-A-
CELLENT FOOD FOR SHEEP.
A lack of ash is the chief fault that
can be found with the corn byprod-
ucts such as germ oil meal and gluten
feed. For this reason these feeds are
not so valuable for milk cows and
young stock. although they are all
right for fattening animals. OIL and
cottonseed meals contain more ash
than the corn products, but not so
much as tankage They are usually
a cheap source Of protein. Oilmeal IS
especially valuable for keeping the
system in tone, the bowels loose and
the coat sleek and glossy. COttonseed
meal should never be fed to hogs, as
they often die from eating It
There is nothing better than clover
pasture to balance the ration Of fat
tening swine Glover pasture. with
perhaps a small allowance Of grain, is
an ideal feed for milk cows, calves
and colts. The little pigs will learn to
eat It also. but will need considerable
grain and skimmilk In addition If
they are to make rapid gains. Glover
hay and corn is a ration for fattening
cattle and sheep that cannot be beat
en-. Clover hay and silage with a lit
tie corn and oilmeal added is a first
class winter feed for dairy cattle.
Even for horses clover hay, II not
dusty. is the best Of roughage. It's
liberal use for all classes Of stock
will reduce the cost Of feeding and
add to the Profits. So it is evident that
the wise farmer win not neglect to
provide q clover pasture that Is ample.
