BIG PROFITS MADE
IN GROUND GRAINS
Gluttonous Animals Swallow
Much of Their Feed With
out Masticating It.
(By M. COVERDELL.)

Where stock eat the grain in it's
natural and unbroken state, it is very
seldom masticated as thoroughly as it
should be. Most animals are naturally
gluttonous and in their haste to con-
sumo grain they swallow much of it
without crushing or grinding it.
This Yields detrimental effect on
the stock that is two-fold. The grain
in this solid condition cannot impart
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 those two detriments we
, must consider that unground feed
causes a waste by passing whole and
practically unchanged through the ami
NAL, or if the stock do eat an amount
large enough from which sufficient
nourishment can be extracted, it means
about twice as much as must be fed to
be converted into bone and muscular
! tissue.
The failure Of the stock to masticate
unground grain will also cause lack
Of digestive secretions or juices so es-
sential to this process; then, In order
to supply this deficiency, the animals
have a craving for water, and large
quantity is thus consumed-much
more than is necessary-and yet this
enormous amount of water has not the
desired effect In promoting digestion
as do the natural juices that should
have been brought down by thorough
mastication.
On the other hand, where the grain
is ground before feeding, 1t is fine and
dry, adhering to the animals mouth
when 1t takes bite, till it has to
chew before 1t can swallow. This
avoids the drawback above mentioned,
and by the grain being we'll crushed
it insures thorough digestion; later, its
pulverized condition renders 1t imme-
diately available for the assimiative
organs to convert into nourishment-
bone and muscle-without overtaxing
any Of the organs of these two sys-
tens, and at the same time 1t will rem
der less of this ground feed necessary
to keep the animal in prime shape.
Other important features in favor of
grinding grain for feeding purposes
are: 1t Is easier to handle than the
whole grain; If fed in the proper re-
ceptacles the stock will not waste as
much Of 1t as Of the whole grain; the
manure formed from 1t will be Of finer
texture, more easily and quickly made
available for the regeneration of soils;
In case the crushed grain Is corn on
the ear, which is our staple feed In a
vast corn belt area, part of the cob is
rendered digestible and great econo-
my In feed Is thus brought about
1t can be measured more accurately
at feeding time than whole grain, es-
pecially the corn on the ear, and this
Is most important as 1t enables one
to be more regular as to the amount
Of feed given each animal, which will
promote regularity In the digestive
and assimilative systems and promotes
healthy, vigorous development Of all
the tissues.

darkness. Duly robed and equipped
with patent charms, they formed them
selves into two parties. One recited
prayers while the other passed to and
fro over the bridge striking with long
STATS at the spirits which they alone
were empowered to see. This done,
the bridge was pronounced open"
and safe for the most timid bride.
The incident to which the bridge
owes its evil reputation dates from
the thirteenth century. In the neigh
borhood, says tradition, lived one Ma
kano, a wealthy but unpatriotic man.
whose constant fear was that his
goods would be seized to swell the
war chest So he buried his treaGures
in boxes by he river, slew the serv-
ants who had assisted him, and cast
the bodies into the dark waters. His
sin was visited upon the daughter,
who thrice married was thrice left
widow. Distracted, the unhappy
girl fed from her fathers house, but
IN crossing the bridge she suddenly
disappeared, and was never seen
again.
