Difference In lcebergs.

No two icebergs appear to be ex-
actly alike in size and shape. Some
look, for all the world, like Arabs
tents as they glide along, and others
like cliffs, castles, cathedrals,> yachts,
and occasionally they resemble some
well known animal. Some of the pin
nacles of a large berg rise nearly
1000 feet above the water, while the
base may occupy an area Of ten or
twelve acres. Seen through power
full glass, one may detect waterfalls
upon these islands Of Ice, and all
kinds of arctic birds, and perhaps q
few seals. @ s.
Then the colors are almost beyond
description. The stately pinnacles
glisten in the sun like powdered glass.
At times the berg is pure white, at
others It looks greenish From Harold

Live Stock and Dairy.

If you are a little short of feed get
rid of the poor cows and replace them
with good ones. Don't keep cows;
make them keep you.
Farmers should learn that, while al
falfa hay is one of the finest of feeds
for cows. yet green alfalfa is rather
dangerous, particularly so If it has
been frosted
Early breeding tends to develop
heavy mixers, and by good care and
feeding this can be accomplished with
out dwarfing the size or weakening the
constitution of the COW or her progeny
Many young feeders make the great
mistake of trying to push their cattle
too rapidly. Never forget that the best
and biggest gains are made the first
month on the smallest amount of grain
1t is not big gains that pay: 1t is eco
nomicaI gains.
All cows that are weak, thin and
coughing must be removed from the
herd. Milk from unhealthy cows is not
safe to use. and only cows 10 good
health can make profitable use OF the
food given them. The herd should be
inspected at regular intervals by q
competent veterinarian.

bureau of animal industry of the Unit

methods and results of feeding poul-

described. The investigation of this
subject by Alfred e. Lee of the depart

to acquire comprehensive and reliable
figures on the cost Of producing d
pound of gain in poultry.
Portable feeding batteries, as shown
in the cut are described as follows:
This battery is divided into eight coops,
