proper nourishment to the animals
and the digestive and assimilative or
,gans will be overtaxed and impaired
in their efforts to convert this coarse
feed into substance that will build up
the tissues Of the body.
Aside from these two detriments we
must consider that unground feed
causes waste by passing whole and
practically unchanged through the
animal; or, IL the stock do eat an
amount large enough from which suf-
acient nourishment can be extracted,
Il means about twice as much must
bs fed to be converted into bone and
1nnscular tissue.
The failure of the stock to masu-
cate unground grain will also cause
lack of digestive secretions or juices
80 essential to this process; then, in
order to supply this deficiency, the
animals have craving for water and
q large quantity is thus consumed
much more than is necessary-'and
yet, this enormous amount Of water
has not the desired effect in promot-
ing digestion as do the natural juices
that should have been brought down
by thorough mastication.
On the other hand, where the grain
3s ground before feeding, it is fine and
dry, adhering to the animals mouth
when it takes bite, till it has to chew
before it can swallow. This avoids
sae drawback above mentioned, and
by the grain being we'll crushed it In
sures thorough digestion; later, its
pulyerized condition renders it i'm
mediately available for the assimila-
tive organs to convert into nourish-
ment-bone and nuscle-without over
taxing any of the organs Of these two
systems and at the same time 1t will
render less of this ground feed neces-
sary to keep the animal in prime
shape.

Be careful about feeding the horse

The SOW should be fed but little i'm.

Raise hogs, but remember you
must raise forage crops for them.
The most practical time for weaving
q colt is when about five months

Sweet corn fed to the dairy stock or
the growing pigs in the green stage. is
profitable.
The only remedy for the cattle short
age is for the country to go back to
cattle breeding.
The box stall is a better place for
horses that require rest on account Of
lameness than grass field.
The cheapest method of producing
meat of any sort in almost every case
is by keeping the animals on pasture.
The man who has a good bunch
Of COWS or stock cattle properly To-
Gated these days has no cause to
worry.
To avoid worrying the colt, tie with.
in sight Of dam and give some grain.
Be sure that the colt has plenty of e1-

ARRANGING GATES FOR PENS

By j. U. GOODWIN
Entrances TO lanes, sheds, barn
buildings and all other places where
two or more entrances stand side by
side, may be conveniently arranged
with little trouble. AS shown in the
illustration, the two gates enclose
three entrances.
TO open the center entrance the
gates are separated-one pushed to
the right and one to the left-which
makes the opening nine feet wide.
To open the entrance to the right
hand the gates are pushed to the
right.
The entrance to each of the side
pens is only FIVE feet, the rest Of the
entrance being planked up.
This arrangement Is particularly
convenient for buildings so arranged
that the center or driveway is to be
open, and the sheds on each side are
wanted with doorways to admit stock,
etc.
In the latter case the doors may be
made solid, so as to exclude rain,
snow, and cold winds.
Fig. 1, A, are pieces set In between
the battens of the gates and extending
six inches. These extensions, one be-
ing on each gate, enter the open space
on the opposite gate, thus holding the
gates firm In place.
D. in Fig. 3, shows the method OF
latching the gates together.
This latch is fastened between the
battens of the gates and catches auto
matically when the gates are closed.
To uncatch, press down on the catch
at D.

pieces, side view of which is shown

OCEAN FREIGHT RATES
ADVANCED IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK. Jan. 9-Ocean freight
rates here have advanced by leaps and
bounds within the last few months and
since the new year began have reached a
point which has not been experienced
by shipping men for 10 years. Mean
while available cargo space is limited
and premiums are being paid by belated
shippers for quick accommodations. The
advances run through the whole range
of commodities and affect all of the
Atlantic and gulf ports
1t is only two years since shippers had
the transportation lines practically at
their mercy. Several of the big Atlantic
lines had to reduce their dividends and
tramp steamers were laid up by hun
dreds. But now the rush of exports has
brought about a condition not witnessed
since the boom after the Spanish-Amer-
lean war and prospects, shipping men
say, are that the heavy demand for &C
commodations will continue right through
the spring.
According to transportation men world
wide changes from normal conditions in
agriculture are responsible for the sud
den demand for ocean carriers. The
drought in Europe has called for heavy
shipments Of foodstuffs and fodder. The
record-breal1ing cotton crop is also a
factor and apples are said to be crossing
the Atlantic at a rate never before
equalled. The potato famine here has
stimulated imports.

USE COTTON CROP FOR
NEXT YEARS FERTILIZER

AkIERICuS, Ca, Jan. e.-One hun
dred bales Of cotton, TO be ploughed uns
der as fertilizer for the next crop, will
be an experiment tried this year by
Mr.. g. W. Heron on his plantation sew
eral miles below Americas. Cotton, as
a rule, is not esteemed as a fertilizer,
but Mr.. Heron can do nothing else with
this hundred bales now.
The cotton is open In the field-one
big field of one hundred acres-from
which not pound OF seed cotton has
ever been picked. 1t cannot be pick
ed now. and he win plough under the
entire crop in this field later on.
The cotton crop opened early in Sep.
tember, much Of it that would easily
produce a bale per acre. Mr.. Heron
had other cotton fields, and owing to
the scarcity OF labor, did not get TO
this particular hundred-acre tract. II
seems a pity TO plough IL under. bun
there is nothing else TO be done.
Mr.. Heron is a thrifty South Caro-
terday that he never dreamed that the
lands here would produce greater crops
than could be gathered. but is convinced
Of IT now.
This same condition prevails in 9TH
CT localities near Americas. There is
still a great deal OF open cotton, and
while a portion of IL will be picked,
in damaged condition, when the weather
settles. it is a fact that the greater
portion OF il will be abandoned, as not
worth the cost Around DeSoto, and
Leslie, especially, is there a great deal
OF cotton left in the fields. The crop
last year was Just too big to be handled
by the farmers

BIG GUNS SUBJECTED TO
MOST RIGID TEST KNOWN

WASHINGTON, Jan. lot has be-
come known that the big guns of the
heavy defenses guarding the southern
entrance to New York harbor were given
an extraordinary test last Saturday in
the presence Of Secretary Stimson and
General Weaver, chief Of coast artillery.
The day was a raw one, the thermome-
ter standing at about five degrees above
zero and a gale of so miles an hour
sweeping over the harbor. The soldiers
were obliged to operate the delicate
range-finding instruments with their
bare hands and so bitter was the cold
that the gun carriages worked stiffly
and did not return to the leading posi-
ton after discharge, making loading OPP
erations much harder.
Under all these difficulties splendid
results were attained. Two targets were
towed by a tug at a distance of three
and a half to four miles from the bat
teries and there Is no doubt that every
shot at them would have been a hit
on the battle ships of the dreadnought
type. This was the first time the coast
artillery ever held fire command service
practice under such unfevorable condi-
tons of wind and weather. Secretary
Stimson was greatly pleased with the
results.
