Variety in the Food OF Animals.


No man is contented with the same
dish for dinner every day, neither will
he thrive as we'll for confning himself
to one article of diet, however whole
some it may be. The Creator has pro-
vided constant variety of ripening
fruits and grain to correspond with
mans desire for change. Animals
have the same want and to some extent
the same provision. The OK ranges
over the field to find out different varie-
ties of grass Animals in the yard will
nose over the refuse heap to pick out
something different from their accus-
toned food The pig turns from his
regular meal of corn to root for nuts,
bulbs, and other titbits. These facts
should be kept in mind in the Winter
care of stock An alienation of roots,
cut feed, oat meal, ETC., with an occasional
treat of grain and shorts, will please
their palates, keep up appetite, promote
digestion and general thrlf. Hogs as
we'll as other animals need such q change,
The sweepings of the barn, which con-
tain clover heads, seeds, bits of hay
and straw, ETC., should be thrown into
the pen, where they will be eagerly de-
youred, and will contribute not a little
to the health as well as the comfort Of
the animals. Agriculturist.
