Rye Pasture For Pics.

The use of rye as pasture crop on
the farm can be made to serve double
purpose. It will furnish green succu-
lent feed IL late fall and early spring,
when practically all the other crops
are dormant. tins keeping the hogs In
q thrifty, healthy condition. A second
big advantage Of rye is that 1t can be
grown as a catch crop on stubble fields
or will serve to utilize waste places or
unused lots. Winter rye has q wide
range of adaptability. It will thrive
under almost Il conditions Of climate,
soil and rainfall. In the south It often
furnishes green feed through the entire
winter. In the northern region it is
the last green feed of the fall and the
flrst to reappear in the spring. Often
It remains green all winter under
blanket Of snow. and as soon 40 the
spring thawing has occurred It is ready
for pasturing.

1t may. net be generally known, hut
ninety per cent of our cold storage
eggs can scarcely be told from fresh
eggs. Produce men test all cold
storage eggs before sold to merchants
and they are divided into two classes,
the frst class and the second class
Housewives as a rule have such an
abhorance for cold storage eggs that
they will have none Of them when
they can get fresh eggs, though
the price may be Is cents doz-

storage during the months when the
hens are at their very best and the
first class storage product is usually
actually better than the fresh eggs
laid during the winter months. Think
this over.

In order that stallion may Impress
bis progeny with the best possible
physical traits it is essential that his
muscular, digestive and respiratory sys-
TENS be kept in a proper condition dur
Ing the period that he is not required
for stud purposes, writes J. 81. McKin-
ney in Farm and Fireside. While on
route he must necessarily be highly
fed to endure the physical exercise ~
quired and to perform the functions Of
sire. When the season 10 terminated
the careful owner will see that he -
given rest Of. say, two or three
weeks as well as temporary change
Of feed in order to relieve the digestive
organs for time.
This change, Of course, should be ef-
fected gradually, little exercise being
given for ten or twelve days and the
food reduced by degrees until at the
end of that time the grain and hay may
be withheld entirely for about twelve
hours and nothing but bran be fed,
after which purgative Of aloes or raw
linseed oil should be given. When pur-
CATION begins the bran should be large
~ discontinued, feeding only small
quantity. together with light feed of
grass and a little grain.
The horse ought then be allowed to
remain quiet for two or three weeks so
as to become thoroughly rested. he
should then have Regular share of the
ordinary farm work, thus paying for
his maintenance and at the same time
being kept in good condition by means
of the exercise involved. This is the
method that most easily adapts itself
to the average farm conditions where
but one stallion is kept

depend on the amount Of work he per

lsIT TOO COLD FOR LIVE STOCK

The objection most commonly urged
against the adoption of the northwest
to the production OF live stock is the
GOODNESS of the winters and also their
length. With reference to the first,
it is not a serious objection to the
growth of cattle and sheep and es-
pecially to the gathering of the same.
1t is simply a matter of providing
shelter. The shelter called for may
be very simple in kind except for
mich COWS, shed protection and yards
well protected is what is called for,
along with liberal feeding. Expert
ence has shown that cattle may be
wintered and fattened under the con-
ditions named quite as well as when
confined to warm stbles. The steady
character Of the cold is quite favor
able to the fattening Of the same as
the appetite is thus kept uniform and
the beds are always clean and COM
Portable when plentifully supplied
with bedding. In areas farther south
where the winters are mild and the
weather changeable. Il is difficult to
keep up steady gains because of auct-
uations in appetite caused by the
weather. 1t also also difficult to keep
the yards from becoming miry in
time Of rain which falls with much
frequency in the winter season. Last
winter the grand champion steer Of
the International show came from
Brandon which is far north of Dakota
and the Aberdeen Angus cattle given

of the North Dakota boundary. Dur
ing recent weeks cattle shipped orig
inally from Texas have been fattened
In Alberta and then sold in Chicago
with good profits tn the owners. Why
should not cattle be extensively
grown for meat in North Dakota?
All things considered, the farmers
Of the northwest should grow and Fat
ten cattle more cheaply than the Tar
mers of the corn belt. The latter
have land worth 500 to 5000 per
acre. The former owns land worth,
on an average. $25. The interest on
this investment of the corn belt far
mel pr a1n7im is &c. This interest

western farmer at the outset an ad.
vantage amounting to say $3.50 In
the land thus used.
