Make a separate pen for your
brood sows and don't have too much
straw.
A mar who will keep his sheep in
a muddy lot has small conception Of
his duty.
Whitewashing stables makes them
lighter, cleaner and much more
healthful and sanitary.
When a farmer has had silage for.
his ewes one winter he hardly knows,
how to keep them without 1t.
Don't feed carrots too literally to
the horses; they are a laxative. Cut
in slices so they can be easily chewed

Use of Blood Meal for Calves.

A little blood meal, commencing
with a teaspoon and gradually in
creasing to a tablespoonful at each
feeding, is said to have beneficial
results with calves that are not doing
very well, but as this meal contains
about 60 per cent. of digestible pro-
tein it would hardly seem to be a
proper complement to skimmilk for
continuous feeding.

Finest Bacon and Hams.

The finest bacon and hams raised
in England come from hogs fed
principally upon skim milk and bar
ley meal. It is claimed by the Eng
lish producers that American hogs
are practically all fed on corn, which,
although a perfectly wholesome food,
tends to make the hog fat and a lit
tie mellow, whereas feeding by the
British method gives a meat beauti-
fully white and as solid as meat need
be.

DEVICE FOR THROWING HORSE
Excellent Plan Is to Place SurcirgIe
Around Body of Animal Just
Behind the Forelegs.

An excellent method of throwing a
fractions horse Is to put a surcingle
around the body just behind the fore
legs, with three rings on 1t, one on
each side and one under the body.
Put a strap around the front legs just
above hoof, with a ring in each. Then
take a rope Is or 20 feet long, run
