LIVE STOCK RELISH
 FEED WHEN COOKED
Found Quite Advantageous When Given to Dairy Cattle During
 Cold Weather of Winter.

Whenever the question as to the ad- visibility of cooking feed in it's prep aration for stock is raised in group of feeders, there is an argument The question Is one that is hard to decide upon, because there are so many things that enter into it that will deter mine whether or not it is the best thing to do. There is little doubt that in some cases it is advisable, but valu- able as some cooked feeds are on any farm, there is danger that the enthu- siasm for them will cause it to be over done and the result may be positive danger to the stock The old saying about getting ''too much of good thing may not give favorable results if carried too far in this case.
 Warming feed in cold weather for one feed day is a good practice, but a hot feed three times a day should be condemned The hot meal has its place, but as a steady diet it will do more harm than good. On cold days, when stock have an opportunity to fill on warm feed, they will suffer with the COlQ more than II tHe iecu hdu uot been warm. A warm feed once day is very much relished. and when fed with other feed such as hay, fodder and other roughage that is not cooked, will assist the animal greatly in keep ing in good condition Dairy cattle can be handled a little differently. for a little warm feed during cold weather at each milking, fed in connection with the other feed, will be found advan- tageous, as the animal will respond by giving an increased flow of milk.
 The two objections to cooking feed are that it sometimes requires too much labor. and that some feeds are made less digestible by being cooked. When food is cooked the protein in it will coagulate, thus causing it to be less digestible. This is Illustrated by the fact that when an egg is cooked, the albumen, or white, is less digesti- ble than it is when it is raw. Some feeds that contain little ,rotein, as po- tatoes. are greatly improved by cook ing, and many other feeds can be made palatable by cooking that would not otherwise be eaten by the stock.

MAINTENANCE OF THE ROADS
General impression Current That Ger tain Types of Highways Are Per
 manent Is Erroneous.

There is no phase of the road prob lem more important than that of main. tenance. The general impression that there are certain types of roads that are permanent is erroneous. No per. manent road has ever been construct. ed, or ever will be. according to the road specialists of the department The only things about road that may be considered permanent are the grad ing, culverts and bridges. Roads con structed by the most skillful highway engineers will soon be destroyed by the traflc, frost, rain and wind, unless they are properly maintained. But the life of these roads may be pro longed by systematic maintenance.

FRENCH TONIC FOR
 THE YOUNG TURKEYS
It Is of Greatest Importance to Begin Treatment Before Com
 mencement of the Red.

A French authority, many years ago. recommended the following tonic for young turkeys during the critical stage:
 Take cassia bark in fine powder, three parts; ginger, ten parts; gentian. one part; anise seed, one part; car bonate of iron, five parts; mix thor. oughly by sitting.
 A teaspoonful of the powder should be mingled with the dough for 20 tur- keys each morning and evening. It is of the greatest importance to begin the treatment fortnight before the appearance of the red, and to continue it two or three weeks after.

Ammunition Used In War.

How much ammunition does a mod ern army use? We shall not know until after the war what the German and the allied forces have been ex- pending; but we know what the Ger. mans used in 1S70-7I The total for rifles was 30.000.000 cartridges, for field artillery 363000 rounds. It is worth noting that battles are much less costly in ammunition than sieges. The siege of Strassburg alone cost, weight for weight, three times the amount of ammunition used in all the decisive battles and actions through out the whole war. Of course these figures are a mere bagatelle com pared with those of the present strug- gle. with it's millions of soldiers and its quick-fring guns and its weeklons battles.-Manchester Guardian.

USING GROUND CORN
 TO EATEN STEERS
Missouri Experiment Station Ha, Been Investigating This
 Question for Two Years.

CBy H. O. ALLISON. Missouri Experiment
 Station)
 Does 1t pay to grind corn for fatten. ing two-year-old steers? The Missouri experiment station has been investi gating this question for the last two years. While this investigation Is not yet completed. results obtained up to the present time indicate that more rapid gains in live weight and quick. CT finish may be expected by the use of ground grain. Cattle also feed more uniformly on ground than on whole corn. There Is no doubt but that two year-old steers will much more com. pletely digest ground grain and the finer it is the more completely it will be digested.
 The work at the Missouri College of Agriculture shows clesrly that when ground corn is fed fewer hogs are needed to follow the steers. The fig ures obtained indicate that from r to g per cent of the value of the ear corn fed to steers should be charged to the hogs, while with finely ground corn chop it will not be more than 3 to 4 per cent. The evidence concern ing the total gain in live weight on cattle and hogs per bushel of corn fed is not yet conclusive. It is not likely that there will be much difference be- tween feeding ground or whole grain if the hogs are properly cared for and If the feeding is done in lots which are reasonably free from mud.

Make Hens Pay.

The kind of chickens you should breed depends largely on what you are breeding for. whether for eggs or for market broilers. Then some like one breed the best and some like another. This question of breed is best left for the breeder to decide but whatever breed you may choose, be sure that the strain is pure.

Late SoSino of Crops,

MT. Campbell of dry-farming repute recommends very late sowing of corn and cane on ground that has been kept thoroughly tiled to conserve moisture. Some remarkable results have been obtained by this method. The growth being very rapid, the fiber is less, the digestible part greater and the protein content greater than in corn of longer growth.

Best Time to Sell.

Under average conditions and with the majority of crops and stock, the best time to sell is when fully ready. Holding beyond this time increases the cost and adds to the risk of loss; besides with grain there is always more or less loss by shrinkage that is unavoidable.
