Any advice you win give me

ANSWER.
You are not giving your COW a bal
anced ration. She should have some
bulls mixed with the cotton seed
meal. 1t is very evident that at
times she eats too much meal, which
does not agree with her and upsets
her system. Cotton seed meal alone
is not a proper feed for a COW. 1t
should be mixed with bran and corn
meal equal parts, and fed mixed with
hulls. She should have the other
rough food mentioned in your let
ter in addition to this. Her digestive
organs are out of condition and this
trouble can be remedied by proper
feeding. Feed just what she will eat
up clean Of this mixture twice a day,
but no more. Keep plenty of salt
before her at all times; also plenty
of fresh water where she can get
it at will

DRY GOODS REVIEW

NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-The cotton goods
markets have ruled strong and active during
the week, jobbers. converters and the manu-
featuring trade being in need Of further sup.
plies and making steady calls on agents.
Prices have advanced on several lines and are
quoted firm for spot and contract deliveries
The buying Of contracts has been increased m
consequence of the scarcity Of spot stocks and
the doubts concerning any possible accumulation
OF goods at the mills in the next two or three
months. Production is restricted by the ina
bility to obtain operatives and the wider
adoption OF shorter hours.
Fan River sold 10000 pieces of print cloths

advanced 215c a yard Bieached cottons are up

ANSWER.

Guinea pigs should be kept in a
large box or vacant room with lit
ter or straw kept on the floor. 1t
should be kept dry and plenty of
sunshine admitted to the house that
they are kept in, at least some time
during the day. They will eat most
any kind of vegetables, but plain
corn and oats or oatmeal is the most
substantial food you can give them.
There is always a good demand
for them and they can be sold in
great quantities to DR.. Hines, at the
state capitol. He manufactures
serum.
If they are kept in a, dry place
they are very easily raised, but
dampness seems to be fatal to them.

LIZ ahead to be looked after in
the poultry industry in our south

people interested, but it must come
and the sooner the better. The
small towns are really taking more
interest than the larger ones. To-
day at the small poultry shows that

ing to see how liberal the mer-
chants and citizens are in donating
money, cups, etc, and taking
wonderful interest in the affairs
that are helping build up their COM
munity and helping keep and bring
revenue to them. This cannot be
said of many of the large cities, as
there are but few that will take any

ANSWER.

1t is very often the case that
litter of pigs will be nervous and
be affected like the ones you refer
to. But usually they will grow out
of this and be all right with a lit
tie age, especially if the mother
furnishes plenty nourishment for
them. Feed her on shorts, corn
meal and bran three times a day
mixed with milk or warm water,
just what she will eat up clean, and
the pigs will most likely come
around in good shape.
