RICE BROS. SHOW COMING TO
COVINGTON.
!. |.PAhA,Z
Secretary.

With the coming of dawn, Satur-
day, Dec. 8, the show train Of Rice
Bros. pulls into town and at once
commences a scene Of hustle and
hurry. Orders sharply given and
quickly obeyed by a vast throng OF
workers who help unload the trains.
Evene the elephants are called into
service. All is noise and excitement
while all about are spectators star
ing with eager eyes and guessing
at the many marvels and wonders
still covered with protecting canvass.
On the show grounds the same
hurry is going on. Acres Of canvass
cover the ground, stakes are being
driven, the big tent pulled into place
and in the twinkling Of an eye the
large pavilions are raised, while over
all many bright colored banners
float in the soft morning breeze.
This is the daily performance of
big show requiring the most careful
generalship to accomplish the SEEM
ingly impossible feat of getting ready
for the afternoon performance, and
such are the scenes to be witnessed
at Covington. The Rice Bros. Shows
will arrive for two performances on

may also be used.
The chief grain feeds may be oats,
corn and barley; feeding about the
same amount of oats as of corn or
barley, when using only corn or barley
with the oats. When using both corn
and barley in the ration with oats, use
about as much oats by weight, as Of
the other two feeds together.
In addition to the above, about to
2A pounds wheat bran and O.4 pounds
of OIL meal daily will make good
horse ration A few roots, such as
carrots and rutabagas add to the sue
culence of any ration.
Oats may be fed whole or ground.
Corn may be fed on the ear, shelled, or
ground. Barley should be ground. If
screenings are used, they should always
be ground. Ground barley is good
substitute for corn. One will have in
mind that oats, clover and alfalfa hay
tend to build up the muscles and gen.
eral tissues of the body while corn,
barley. timothy and prairie hay are
more fattening

cally, definite daily rations for fatten-
ing horses for market on North Dakota
farms, it would seem best to leave the
choice of feeds with the above sugges-
tions. to the man on the farm who is
supplying the feed. and who will choose
the feed as far as practicable from
what he has at hand on the farm.
Fat Horses.
Have the horses fat before putting
| them on the market. Fat horses often
sell fully 40 per cent higher than thin
horses of the same quality.
Full Names and Foretops.
The names and foretops of the
horses should be left full; the same
| applies in a general way to the hair of
| the tail.
Horses Well Broke.
| 1t pays the seller we'll to have the
| horses well broke both double anl
single, as the buyer usually wishes to
see them driven either in a team or
singly.
Break the horses to back and to turn
around freely in either direction. 1t
might help in certain cases to break a
horse to drive in the center in a three
horse team. In certain other cases it is
we'll to have the horse broke to ride.
If horse will allow one to handle
his feet, lifting and holding each foot
up, as in shoeing, it will help in selling
| him. Any other traits horse may
have which show kindness and inteli-
gence, are usually valuable assets to
the seller in the sale ring.

RIGHT WAY TO HANDLE EGGS
Where cne 10 Broken Over Others In
Case It Causes Them to Spoil
Avoid Washing.

Rough handling Of eggs which causes
one to break and run over others in
the egg case often causes them to
spoil. Eggs will also gather moisture
If they are brought suddenly from
cold storage into a warm room or the
warm sunlight The best way to get
eggs to keep is to provide clean nests
and clean food for the flock. Then
use cool storing places and avoid wash
lrg them, even If they are little
dirty. The cleaner ycrr eggs, the bet
ter they will keep--and the more de-
muud there will be Cor them.

GREAT PAYING COMBINATION
Legumes and Live Stock Are Advo.
Gated by Missouri College at
Big Stock Show.

A feature of much interest and
value of the American Royal Live
Stock show at Kansas City was the
exhibit of the Missouri College Of Ag-
riculture. The message conveyed by
this exhibit is summed up in seven
words: "Legumes and Live Stock,
the Paying Combination"
The possibilities of live stock farm
ing were shown in the central section
of the exhibit. and the truth is empha-
sized that more and better live stock
will mean greater wealth and satis-
faction for the farmer and greater
prosperity.
Legumes were in turn shown to be
essential to the production of more

from each hen, II good profit will be
made, and If the product Is increased
by only one egg a week in winter this
one egg will pay for all the feed the
hen eats, say poultrymen of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. To
get this greater production use young
hens of good laying breed and feed
the right sort of ration.
In the spring the production of eggs
on the farm is easy. Chickens are
usually on free range where they get
all the green and animal feed they
need to make balanced ration. They
also get plenty of exercise and fresh
air. In order to produce eggs in the
winter time, the feeder must provide
substitutes for spring conditions.
Green cut bone, meat scraps, animal
meal, fish meal or tankuge furnish
good substitutes for the insects and
worms. Cabbages, turnips, bects, po-
tatoes and carrots furnish excellent
green feed at little cost. Sprouted
oats are also good. but require more
care in preparation.
Grit is essential to the health Of
fowls and also to economy in feeding.
Grit in chickens gizzard is like
teeth in Il PERSONS mouth-it helps
prepare the food for digestion. An
open box of this material should be
kept in every yard. An abundance OF
fresh water is also necessary and
should be kept in sanitary containers.

indicate that the discrimination against
soft pork and the price discounts,
usually ranging from 81 to So per 100
pounds, are due to the lack of at
tractiveness of the pork rather than
because Of any heavy shrinkage in
weight.
Loss In Weight Is Same.
Twelve different tests, involving 800
hogs, were made, and complete shrink
age records Of slaughtering, chilling,
curing. smoking and retaining were
secured. The tests showed that the
total loss in weight from the cooler
to the end of the retaining period of
oily pork was 1885 per cent Of the
chilled weight and was the same as
that of firm pork. The shrinkage in
soft pork was nearly 16 per cent or
2O7 per ant more than that Of either
the firm or oily pork.
There seemed to be no difference
in the flavor or keeping qualities of the
three grades Of pork. A marked diff
ference was noticeable in the general
appearance of these grades, and the
tests indicate that the trade preference
for firm pork is largely due to this
consideration. Oily pork retains
yellowish cast and when cut the meat
is oily and soft. This renders it less
attractive than the solid, white, and
comparatively dry meat from firm
hogs.
Details Given in Bulletin.
Detailed descriptions of the tests,
together with the results obtained, are
given in United States Department of
Agriculture Bulletin 1886, entitled

KEEPING MANURE IN WINTER
Some Cattle Feeders Frequently Per

Lots or Barns.

Beef cattle feeders frequently allow
the manure to accumulate in the lots
or in the barns. If the feeding shed
and feeding floors are all under cover
this serves as satisfactory methcd
of preserving the manure until spring,
but II the sheds are in the open or
