include in this rule provision under
which rural route legislation could be

The democrats lined up against it
solidly. 81 a
Representative Towner in a speech
charged the democrats with gag rule
, to prevent rural route legislation.
The effect of today's work was not
calculated to encourage the idea the
democratic leaders will permit any

count of its larger per cent Of fiber.
Glover and alfalfa should be cut while
slightly immature If they are to be
cured and fed to poultry. The leaves
and chaff from such hay are especially
adapted for poultry feeding.
Sprouted oats make a very good
green feed and are used quite extern
sively in this country. The oats can
he soaked for twelve hours In warm
water and then spread out in layer
Of from one-half to one and One-half
inches deep on floor or in tray or
tier of fats which have openings or
holes or a three-siXteenths inch mesh
wire bottom. so that the water drains
freely They may be stirred daily and
sprinkled or allowed to sprOut without
stirring until ready for feeding. They
are usually fed when the sprouts are
from one to one and One-half inches
long. although some pOultrymen pre-
fer to allow the sprouts to grow to two
or three inches long. Oats need
moist and warm atmosphere in which
to sprout quickly. so that 1t is neces-
sary to furnish heat or to keep them
in warm room during the winter,
while they may be sprouted out Of
doors during the rest Of the year. 1t
takes from six to ten days to sprout
oats. depending on the temperature Of
the room.
Where the double yard system of
combining poultry is used one Of the
yards is kept in green feed. into
which the hens are turned when the
crop attains height Of four or five
inches. This method Of alternately
yarding poultry furnishes green feed
for the birds and at the same time
freshcns the yard. Rape, wheat. rye.
oats and barley are usually sown for
this purpose. Rye is good for late fall
and early spring feeding. as it will
live through the winter in most Sec
lions. Oats. wheat and barley are
used throughout the spring, summer
and early fall. Several Of these grains
may be sown together to secure a
greater variety of green feed, and any
quick growing grains may be used for
this purpose.

add that this Is perhaps the low limit
a large measure Of profit The ideal
should be to have the herd average $50
pounds Of fat, and as this ideal be-
comes realized the ideal Of higher
production should be set.
According to all experimental work
that has been done, fat cannot be fed
into milk. This accords with the ex:.
perience Of observing and careful dali
rymen. 1t is, Of course, possible to In
crease or decrease the fat per cent of
the milk for short time by creating
some disturbance in the animals d.
gestion by improper feeding or by
some other method. either Intentional
or otherwise. However, this change in
fat per cent will continue for Il short
time only, and the COW will later re-
turn to her normal. 1t Is also posi-
BILE to bring cows up to freshening
time in somewhat fat condition. and
they will for IL time maintain high
tat percentage in their milk. AS in the
previous case. this fat percentage will
not be maintained. and the COW will
drop back IT, what Is her normal per-
ceIItage Of fat.
The milk" Of each individual COW
seems to possess fixed composition
that is natural to her. and under nor
NAL conditions the richness Of the milk
is in no way dependent upon the care
or amount Of feed fed. except that
cows that are starved Or greatly un-
derfed mag produce milk somewhat
lower in fat percentage than normal
One is quite safe In saying that the
kind Of feed fed will not either raise
or lower the average fat per cent Of a
COW, neither will it bring. in and Of
ITSELF temporary fluctuation in the fat
per cent.

stations were worked. The feeding Of
the stallion that works is an easy
problem in comparison with feeding
one kept in idleness.
To be success as a breeding animal
the stallion must be In the best of con-
dition. and he cannot be so kept with
out proper exercise. When kept in the
box stall he cannot get enough exer-
else, and even If small yard Is pro-
vided it Is seldom that the stallion win
exercise enough for his own good.
There is always more or less danger
that a horse will 'injure himself In at
tempting to exercise In the small yard
as a result Of the short turns that
must necessarily be made. Breaking
the horse to work in the harness is the
simplest way out This can easily be
done, provided the man who works him
understands stations and knows how
to give them the proper care while be-
ting handled in this way.
The stallion should be broken for
harness before he Is two years old.
Few are broken. however, at this age,
necessity break them after they have
reached maturity. 1t is not a specially
hard job to break stallion to harness.
They are seldom afraid. 1t must al
ways lie remembered that the stallion,
even though big. Is usually soft and
must be gradually toughened to work.
He should be given only few hours
of light work each day for several
months.
During the season when not used for
breeding purposes. the stallion. after
becoming hardened to it, can do full
days work and ut least half days
work during the breeding season. A
successful hOrseman of Kansas who
always works his stations uses jock
ey stick on them when they are In the
harness. one end being fastened to the
bit Of the horse and the other to the
names Of the harness on the other
horse.
The stallion at work should be fed
the same as other work horses IRE fed
They should not have too much hay.
The amount Of grain to feed will vary.
Of course. with the work the horse is
doing and his general condition. He
should not be permitted to run down In
flesh. but corn or Katiir should not be
used as the exclusive grain ration.
Bran is always valuable supplement
to these grains. and it is always we'll
to feed some oats II they are not too
expensive.

Practical Dairy Ra&ions.

From the standpoint Of economy and
efficiency two kinds of roughage foods
should enter into ration making for
dairy cows. One Of these should be Of
a leguminous nature. such as alfalfa.
clover or cowpeas, to furnish crude
protein and mineral matter. The other,
richer in the starch or carbohydrates.
should be succulent in character. as.
for instance. corn silage or roots These
classes Of roughage should provide
from 70 to so per cent Of the necessary
carbohydrates and from so to 60 per
cent Of the protein. The remaining
portion Of the ration should be supplied
by the addition of grain concentrates.
two or more kinds being preferable and
ranging in quantity from three pounds
to ten or twelve pounds daily. depend
ing upon the quantity Of milk yielded
and the stage If the lactatlon period.
