Pumpkins are largely composed of
water. and so many agricultural writ
ers have declared that pumpkins have
but little value as stock food. The
same objection might be made against
grass. which everyone knows is the
best food in the world for farm live
stock. Pumpkins. in my experience.
are as valuable to feed to cows aud
steers ss turnips, rutabagas and beets.
Horses are fond of pumpkins and
will eat them without any cutting up.
They are healthful for horses that are
kept on dry feed when fod In modera-
tion.
Hogs will eat pumpkins. and they
are cheap and wholesome feed for
them when fed in connection with
grain. We cut the pumpkins into
small pieces which ccn be eaten east
ly. and put them into the trough in
-tead OF breaking them up and throw
ing them into the pen. We find 1t
pays well for the time spent in cut
ting. The pumpkins are fed in the
morning Wien appetites are keen. and

A Secretary OF Public Health.

Extracts from editorial in the Eve
ming Mail. New York City:
Referring to the plan to create fed
eral department Of health. with a doc
tor at its head. the Evening Mail says;
The only real difficulty is the dis
agreeing of the doctors as to the pro-
per style of medicine to be recogniz.
ed in making the appointment. A
President who employed a physician
of the regular school would doubtless
appoint regular" doctor general.
The next President might be a homeo-
pathic believer. and would appoint a
homeopathist; in which case the reg.
ulars would consider themselves op'
pressed. There would be possibility
Of an osteopath or a Christian Scien'
tist in the position. or a representa-.
tive Of any OF half dozen minor
schools.
In this land OF diverse opinions. OF
seven-and-seventy warning sects and
countless schools of thought. we have
to agree to disagree on SO many
points that 1t is impossible to have
either ministers OF cults and public
worship, as most of the European ma
tions have. or minister's OF public
health. We have already surgeon
general OF the public health service
who is a bureau head OF the treasury
department. He is always regular
physician. Probably medical science
will have to be content with him. He
is doing good work at the present
time. The doctors had better keep
the surgeon-general that they have
than fly to sanitary squabbles and
quarantine deadlocks that they know
not OF under a cabinet secretary.
