QUALIFICATIONS OF

(By w. A. HENRY and F. b. MORRI-
SON. University Of wisconsin,
The most important factor Of all,
for the farmer who must depend on
the profits from his stock for his in
come. is the cost of the ration. In se-
curing q ration which provides the
nutrients called for by the standards
and meets the other conditions pre-
viously discussed, lies q great oppor-
tunity for exercising foresight and
business Judgment ON every farm
where animals are fed. The wise
farmer-feeder will consider the nutri-
ent requirements of his animals in
planning his crop rotations. Through
the use of grain from corn or the
sorghums, legume hay and such cheap
succulence as silage from corn or the
sorghums, it il possible in most sec
tions of the country to 60 far toward
solving the problem Of providing .
well-balanced. economical ration.
The feeds selected for any animal
should be such that they win not in
jure its health or the quality Of the
product yielded. Feeds which are
Uited to one class Of farm animals
may not be adapted to others. Again.
. given feed may give satisfactory re-
suits when combined with certain
other feeds, yet In other combina-
tions 1t may prove unsatisfactory. A
few examples Of such conditions are
furnished in the following: Cotton

side features that require attention
from the FAINTER.
The rough brick supporting piers
and chir.neys are left in their natural
rougbEnd-ready coat Of brown. which
he.monizes with the general color
scheme in a very satisfactory manner.
The plan of this artistic cottage Is
similar to a regular five-room bunga-
low. which places the living room. din
ing room and kitchen on the sunny
side of the house. The two bedrooms.
with bathroom. occupy the side to the
north or east, according to the direc-
ton in which the house faces.
This plan shows rather large din
ing room, which is really part Of the
living room, being connected by a
wide archway which practically makes
the two rooms into one splendid room
rs feet in length with abundance of
light from a half dozen windows.
A very interesting feature. and one
that especially interests the women. Is
built. It occupies q bright. sunny
corner and is so arranged that 1t
makes a real house workshop. with
all the necessary attachments near at
hand. The kitchen itself is compara-
lively small, but It Is in close contact
with the pantry. the stairway leading
down to the cellar and the other stair
way leading up to the attic. Then the
rear porch is almost part OF the
kitchen.
The plan shows Q kitchen sink close
to a large window, and the stove Is
directly between two windows. Both
the stove and sink are convenient to
the pantry and to the cellarway. where
supplies are stored. The making of q
home kitchen is considered in q DIFF

modern conveniences have come into

The modern idea of o practical kitch-
en- is compactness rather than size.
A little modern kitchen like this saves
miles of walking. Cooking and meal
serving can be done 50 much quicker
when the tools are all kept within easy
reach of the one doing the work. The
pantry is placed between the kitchen
and dining room, but 1t IL not neces-
sary to go through the pantry In pass
ing frt n one room to the other. The
entrance to the cellar has the same
convenience of access as the entrance
to. the pantry.

INTERESTING HINTS
ON CALF BREEDING
Heavier Calves Produced From
Cows in Their Prime, Accord
ing to English Test.

From careful records taken Of -
Shorthorn cows It was found by IN
English agricultural society that the
average CESSATION periods Of cows
bearing bull calves was 2SS.91 days;
of cows bearing heifer calves 2s3.76
days. The longest period In the
former was 297 days, and the short
est period $50 days; In the latter 2s3
and 274. The average weight Of the
bull calves was S9.45 pounds; that Of
the heifer s2.s pounds. It was found
that the longer the period the heavier
the calf In each cas6.
Il was noted that the heavier calves
are produced from cows In their
prime; that II. ranging from i've to
seven years Of age; after that age the
calves appear to become smaller at
birth. It IL thought safe to take an
average Of 2S5 days - the period Of
CESSATION and 81 pounds a. the av-
erage weight Of . Shorthorn calf at

aged by mold, such material may
often be eaten by cattle when 1t would
poison horses or sheep. Timothy hay.
which is the standard roughage for
the horse, is unsatisfactory for the
dairy COW. and may cause serious
trouble with sheep on account Of its
constipating effect.
Feeding cows . heavy allowance
Of ground and soy beans produces un-
duly soft butter, while an excess Of
cocoanut meal makes the butter too
hard. Peanuts and soy beans produce

part Of the ration Of fattening pigs.
It IL often highly beneficial to add
wheat bran or linseed meal to the
ration on account of their slightly
laxative effect. On the other hand.
when animals are already receiving
such laxative feeds ~ silage, pasture
grass, and legume hay. the use Of
bran or linseed meal may be unwise.
With the horse and with young
ruminants the ration must contain
some roughage to distend the diges-
tive tract properly. Furthermore, for
the best results the proportion OF con-
centrates and roughage In the ration
should be regulated according to the
kind and class Of animal to be fed
and the results sought. Cattle. sheep.
and horses can be wintered satisfac-
torily on roughages alone. II Of suit
