FERMENTED BRAN is UNSAFE
French Experimenters Find That
When Stored in Heap During
Winter Months Ii Ferments.

Bran when stored in bulk sometimes
ferments, so that it causes digestive
trouble when fed to animals. French
experimenters year or two ago found
that when bran was stored in a heap
for four or five months during the
winter it tended to form into Jumps on
the outside of the heap, and on the IN
side the Jumps became darkened, and
in some cases black.
These experimenters, from analy-
ses of different types of bran. thought
that they could determine bran fit for
use by what is known as the acidity
test.
Bran which, according to this test
contains less than 10 per cent OF acid
is o. K. That which contains from ID
to 80 per cent of acid is safe to use
but it soon becomes unsafe. That
which contains more than 80 per CEN
of acid is considered unfit for food

GOOD TREATMENT FOR SHEEP
Real Value Of Animal is in Wool,
Lambs and Mutton-Weed Oestruc-
ton Is Only Incidental.

1t is often argued that sheep should
be kept by farmers because they live
in lean pastures and are useful in rid
ding the fields of weeds, getting much
of their living from what other stock
will not eat and that the farm is much
better rid of. That is all true, but
that should not be the main reason
for keeping sheep. In fact, weed de-
struction should be only an incident
The value of the sheep is in wool,
lambs and mutton. To do their best
in these lines, sheep need and should
have as good treatment as other do
nestle animals.
Sheep may live on pastures that
would not sustain horses or cattle, but
they will not do their best on such
pastures. They must eat and thus de-
stroy weeds and even sprouts and
brambles, that other stock would not
touch, but such growths 90 not make
their best feed.

mouth to keep it open. The tube is
placed in the mouth and the bird is
gently drawn on until the end OF the
tube reaches the crop, the neck be-
ing elongated as much as possible.
The lever bar is gently lowered by the
foot and the food is thus forced into
the crop. One hand is kept on the
crop and as soon as it is sufficiently
full the foot is removed from the lever
and the bird is gently removed.
The operator soon learns to know
when the crop is full. No stated
amount that should be fed to an indi'
vidual can be given, for the quantity
varies with the size of the crop.
Great care should be taken Ill pre-
pairing the feed to see that there are
no Jumps, for the tube is small anc

RAISE A FEW DRAFT HORSES
plenty Of Pasture and Access to Good
Stallion Are Essential-oooo
Breeding Necessary.

Csv ID c. CAMPBELL. Kansas Expert
ment Station)
There is nothing more prohtaDie 10
the average farmer than the raising
of a few good draft horses, PROVIDED
he has plenty of pasture and access
to a good stallion.
IL good stallion is not standing Tor
service in a community. the man VINO
has at least five or six good farm
mares can afford to own his own stall
lion and use him with work horses
A coming two-year-old stallion can be
bought for approximately $lO0, ana
taken in hand at this age, he makes
u excellent work horse. In fact.
stallion is better for having been
worked. He is harder. more dociie,
and makes a good work horse. III the
stallion is worked alongside a bred
mare there will be no trouble In nan
ding him. He should be made TO
earn his keep and he will be the better
| therefor.
The raising OF draft horses is diff
ferent from that of any other live
stock on the farm. Important factors
are good food and attention. Good
breeding gives the possibilities, but
good breeding is necessary to bring
this out to its fullest extent.
1t is better for the man OF limited
means to raise horses only as by
product, because the exclusive raising
of draft horses for market requires
considerable capital. The returns al
first are slow, for draft horses must be
six years old before they are ready FOL
market. The man who has other casf
crops to meet his expenses can AFFORD
to wait for the returns from his young
draft horses.

HOW TO PICK GOOD FEEDER

small house should be built over it for
protection. All the water pumped for
the stock should flow through this
tank, the inlet discharging near the
bottom, which will force all the warm
water out first. The overflow pipe
should have one-half inch larger diam
eter than the inlet in order that the
water may be freely carried off. The
water in the tank should be of suffi-
