QUALITIES OF A GOOD FEEDING
STEER

The nose should be broad so that the
mouth may close upon q goodly
quantity OF grass at each bite. and
thus save the time Of the animals for
even in this work Of eating. time is
money. The beast which can quickly
fill his stomach with food needs to
spend less time in working.
Quickly filled, the steer is most Of
his time resting quietly, converting
the food into tender, juicy flesh.
The head should be short and broad
given ample breadth between the eyes
The horn, IL any, should be fine and
short, and the eye should be full and
bright.
The neck should be short and fine.
A thick, clumsy neck may be good
enough for hog but it is enphatical-
ly out Of place on a steer.
The briskets should come down
deep and full and there should be
great width between the forelegs to
give ample room to the lungs.
Back OF the shoulders the body
shonId be full, the ribs sDringlng we'll
out like the hoops Of barrel and not
fiat like the frame Of a corn crib.

TIT, FARM POULTRY IN WINTER

Whatever style Of poultry house Is
used we find il highly essen al that

dows so that plenty of light and sun
shine reach the corners Of the build

for the flock and the mercury down
rretty low, the fountain Of eggs Will

when they are kept inside, give the
birds fresh earth occasionally in order
that they may resplenish their grind
ing organs with pebbles. They should
also have dust ito dust themselves in
and be fed meat in some form. either
cut bono and meat scraps from some
nearby market, or purchased animal
foods. A boiled liver from a butch er
cut up fine is excellent. A little
chopped cabbage mashed vegetable
food with ground bones. crushed oys-
ter shell. etc. will comnlete diet
that should produce excellent results.
Feed regularly every morning and
the hens will be found waiting for
their breakfast. Hot buckwheat cakes
and table scraps with a drink OF skim
milk occasionally make one OF the
best balanced raNOns that can be
found for few hens. It is my opinion
that the fact that a few hens produce
better results than a large number IS
due in a measure to table scraps FORM
ing a large proportion Of their ration
