RIGHT FEED FOR BROOD sow
Satisfactory Results Obtained at Wis
eonsin Station With Corn, Mid
dilngs and Alfalfa.

On farms where many kinds of
grain are grown, there should be little
or no difficulty in providing a suitable
ration.
For several years mature brood
sows IN the Wisconsin experiment sta
ton herd have been fed rations com
posed of one-third corn, one-third
wheat bran or alfalfa. Such feeds are
satisfying and bulky, ana at the same
time sufficiently nutritious to cause
the sows to gain from so to IS
pounds in live weight during preg.

A mixture of equal parts, by weight,
of the feeds mentioned, fed in the form
of thick slop, rs always very salts
factory. This insures an equal proper
ton and distribution of the various
feeds and is relished by the animals
The corn may be fed on the ear and
the alfalfa need not be cut, and the
rest of the ration should be given as
thick slop.
Brood sows, weighing from 800 to
$50 pounds, usually can be kept Oh
one of the above rations for about
S1.50 month.
If yon live in a section where these
can be grown, sugar beets or giant
half sugar mangels may be used to
form the bulky portion Of the ration
and to replace the bran.
The sugar beets or mangels can be
cut UP and fed raw or may be cooked
and with middlings and other meal
made into thick ,slop.

War and Etiquette. .

Many a little convention, has had
its death knell sounded on, the battle
field, and after every great war new
customs are born. D'Israeli relates an
instance Of this in a more confined
field in Italy. Such was the party
hatred Of the GuelphsSand Ghibellines,
the two great Italian factions, that
they carried their rancor even into
their domestic habits. At table the
Guelphs placed their knives and spoons
longwise; the Ghjbellines across; the
one cut his bread across, the other
longwise. Even in cutting an orange
they could not agree, for the Guelph
cut his orange horizontally and the
Ghibelhne downward"

steel VS. Iron.

For some purpose iron Is to be
preferred to steel and vice versa. To
easily distinguish one from the other,
make a bright spot on the metal with
a file or sand paper and apply single
drop of nitric acid. Allow it to re-
main for one or tive minutes and wash
or wipe off. If the spot has a pale
ashy appearance It is wrought iron;
If it is brownish black, ii is steel;
If a deep black, it is cast iron.

CBy MICHAEL X. BoYER.)


OF late dry feeding is becoming
quite popular, although it is not a
new idea in the poultry ranks. Fully
20 years ago the matter was agitated
and adopted by some poultrymen, but
as a general thing it was not favor
ably received.
The argument used today in favor
of dry mash and whole grain diets
are: First, after fowls become used
to it, they will prefer the ground grain
dry to that which is either cooked or
steamed; second, it is a labor saving
method; third, it keeps fowls in a
more healthy condition; and fourth,
better fertility to the eggs.
At first the fowls viii not take very
kindly to the dry feed. AS meat scrap
is mixed with it, they will pick out all
such, then probably The corn meal, or
some may prefer the bran, but all of
it is seldom consumed until the
fowls become accustomed to it.
Gradually they will eat more and
more of it, finally cleaning up the
trough.
Another benefit is that after eating
a few mouthfuls they win repair to
the drinking vessel and secure sew
eral swallows of water, then back
again to the trough and SO on during
the entire meal.
1t is claimed that more water is
consumed by dryfed fowls, and as
water enters largely into the compo-
sition of eggs, increased -egg-produc-
ton should be the result.
The method is "a great labor saver.
1t is possible to both feed and water
the stock IN the same time It takes to
prepare the wet mash and feed it.
The writer prefers feeding the dry
mash in trOughs instead oil hoppers,
unless a hopper is used that will be
proof against rats and mice Such a
hopper must be made of galvanized
iron, and should be made To close at
night and be opened in the morning.
If large enough to hold sufficient
material for several days feeding, still
more labor can be saved.
There is also a decided advantage
III the SyblCIu lTOm a hCoith otduu-
point. There ts not so much danger OF
overfat hens, and consequently there
will be fewer softsshelled and de-
formed OF i1lshaped eggs.
There will be fewer cases Of bowel
troubles and less trOnble with indi-
gestion. Wet mash allowed 90 re-
main in trougfH any length Of time
during the hot weather will sour,
which is the Ncaase Of many cases OF
sickness.
For growing chicks tits recommend
ed. They eat few mouthfuls and
then take a swallow OF water and
scamper on for a run. II a few mo-
ments they return and repeat the
dose
They never gorge themselves. and
whoa they feel little hungry little
food helps them out
At might an extra allowance of food
is placed In small boxes In their
houses. so that the youngsters can
help themselves at break OF day
Nothing gives a chick a worse set
back than pining for food.
But we like only the mash to be
fed fowls in that way. The whole
grain should be strewn along some
light litter, like leaves or cut straw,

Dark Barns a Menace.

Well lighted horse or dairy stalls
are even more imperative during the
winter months than in the summer,
since the absence Of light lowers the
temperature. Then, leading the ami
mails forth into the glare of day after
uheir long confinement in the gloomy
stalls is liable to bring on defective
eyesight, while the poorly lighted
stalls also contribute TO the advance
ment of almost every known ailmeni
of live stock.

so that the birds must scratch for
all they get.
This exercise is needed
The grain should be given at least
an hour before the time for them to
go to roost, SO that ample time is
given them to hunt. II thus fed in a
scratching shed, the fowls VIII con-
tinue their search the next morning
at break of day, and the attendant
will find them hard Of work when he
comes around to give them their
breakfast.

Mines in Warfare

A land mine in warfare consists OF
a charge of high explosive buried in
the ground, and arranged so as to
explode when the enemy's troops are
over it. Mines are also used in siege
warfare, tunnels being driven under
the enemy's Notifications and enor-
nous quantities of high explosive
placed In them.

A Bad Habit Cured.

A delightful experience Is told by
teacher that touches upon a child,
IN imaginative boy OF seven, who was
ideally polite and obedient to his par
ents, but who would, In spite OF daily
admonitions, insist on putting on his
shoes and buttoning them every morn
ing before putting on his trousers
which, OF course, would not 20 on over
the shoes. This daily blunder rendered
INN quite miserable as well as his
parents. He would cry with shame
and disappointment because he missed
his breakfast with his father, promis-
Ing to try to remember, but so regular
y forgetting that his parents began to
suspect some latent stubbornness II
not deceit in the occurrence.
The teacher was a friend OF the fam
ny and often visited them On the oc-
casion Of one visit the boys mother
asked her whether she should chastise
him for this annoying habit. The
visitor said she would write to him,
which she did, but the letter was In
the form Of a story Of General Bad
Habit, who was quartered in his house.
The boy was very fond OF military dis
plays and stories, and just here she
held his interest. She said she was
sorry General Bad Habit was there
and that she greatly feared her little
friend would be reduced to the ranks
II he did not make immediate resist
ance, and she asked him to use her let
ter as flag OF truce, to be placed in
his shoe overnight, informing General
Bah Habit that he proposed not only
to resist him, but to take away his t.
tie, sword and shoulder straps.
The flag OF truce was used In the
shoe for two or three nights, then
placed on the mantel and in less than
a week entirely removed, and a letter
from the triumphant child informed
the teacher that Bad Habit was re-
duced to the ranks and the little friend
