UiIIIkIii Corn rodder.
It Is desirable to titlllzo nil tho food
rnluo there Is In tho corn fodder,
though the urimI way of feeding It to
the stock Is a very wasteful method.
Where the dully supply of fodder Is
thrown In the barnyard nt feeding
time, what the cattle do not cat Is
trampled down nnil destroyed, so far
as the feeding vnluo Is concerned. The
leaves and the tops are all stock will
cat. From one-UiIrd to one-half the
length of tho fodder Is readily eaten In
melts without cutting. When the stalks
are heavy, coarse and hard, the upper
half may he cut for feed with a sharp
hroadax and heavy block If hut few
cattle are fed. For a larger herd wo
have adopted a largo shearing knife,
homemade, which soon shears enough
for n day's feeding.
The cutting knife or shears Is best
madu from an old hlade of a crosscut
saw. After the handles have been re
moved, get n stout piece of Iron (a)
about eight Inches long and one nud
one-quarter Inches thick. Ilavo about
live Inches of this silt up to receive the
hack of the saw.
Punch holes through both nml rivet
together. Near the end of this Iron
have a hole drilled or turn an eye on
It to receive n strong holt. Rivet a
strong handle on the other cud, as
shown nt c, long enough to give a good
leverage, say two and onu-hnlf to three
feet. (I rind the hlade down to n good,
sharp cutting edge, nttnch tho cutter

will have plenty of swing. Put n heavy

Most of my L'OO acres under cultiva

my main crop. In addition to this, I
grow oats anil Kaillr corn, snys an
Oklahoma farmer. . This year I have
on my farm seventy acres of cotton,
twenty-live acres of oats, sixty acres
of Kaillr corn, llvo acres of cowKas
and thirty acres of weeds caused by
continual overflowing during the plant

tematic rotation of crops. I have no
silo, and do not hellevo there Is one

Krrdluir Animal.
Tho common mode of feeding ani
mals Ih to give them grain In n' separata
trough from liny or fodder, nnd at dif
ferent times. Such method Is preferred
becnuse It saves labor, but tho best re
sults aro obtained by mixing the ground
grain with coarso food that has been
passed through tho feed cutter. Less
food will then be required to obtain ro
suljs, iH'cause tho mixed food will bo
better digested nnd assimilated than
when tho substances aro given scpa
rntely.

when they Beparnte. Then thero Is tho

Hran and Oil Meal (or llorae.
An Illinois stockumu who has had
much experience In feeding horses and
cnttlo says; "I consider outs and corn,
with bran and oil meal, tho bast farm
feeds for horses and whole and grouud
com. with brnu nud oil meal, the best
for beef cattle. I use sllago and mixed
feet! twlco a day, and do not shred
corn fodder. I grow Ileitis' yellow
Dent corn, which averages about forty
bushels per aero. I cut thlrty-tlro
acres each year and use the corn bar
vester. I havo twenty-Are Shire horses
nnd 100 Hereford cattle."

Much dissatisfaction It often exper
ienced by cream producers becnuse of
differences reported in the test of their
cream, nnd though they have made no
cuauge In the cream screw. Hulletln
No. 237 treats of a number of causes
of these differences. The bulletin may

Harlor Hi a Peed for Ho.
The advisability of feeding barley
to pigs, and tho methods to pursue In so
doing, Is well worthy of agitation. That
pigs are desirable on the farm Is an
established fact Food must bo pro
vided for them, and so far tho one most
genernlly used hns been corn, either
alone or with shorts nnd milk. Rut In
much of the northwest corn cannot be
matured, or Is a crop too uncertain and
cxponslvo to be practicable. In such
regloiiH, barley Is n reliable crop; and
If It can be utilized generally for plgtf
n great advantage to the Industry will
havo been secured.

A chocolate, or broken candy pall,
that can be hnd for 10 ccntH at nny
grocery store, makes an excellent egg
carrier when treated In tho following
manner: Tnko a sheet of tho corru-

Hue tho sides nnd bottom of the pall,
as shown In tho cut Then cut circles
from other pieces of the same material
to uso between each layer of eggs,
smaller circles for tho bottom, Increas
ing lu sl7.u ns tho top Is approached.
Kggs can bo gathered from tho nests
lu such a pall and carried to market
with reasonablo assurance that few, It
any, breakages will occur. Tho cor
rugated pnper can bo obtained lu large
sheets from grocers, to whom It has
coiim packed about breakable goods.
Fonil Vnlno of Corn In Sllnice.
One ncro of corn put lu a silo will
furnish three cows all tho silage they
will eat for a period of i!00 days, forty
pounds n day each. Thus ten acres
of corn so used will supply thirty cows
for tho snmo length of time. In addi
tion to the silage ration, tho cows will
need a llttlo good hay and a protein
ration of bran and gluten feed. This
sort of ration will secure profltablo re
sults from nny dairy of cows.
Curlntr Wire Cut.
Hero Is somo useful Information
from n Dakota man. He says: "There
aro a great many remedies nied but I
havo found the following to be one of
the best: Common mnchlno oil nnd
alum. Tnko alum and burn on stove
till whlto nnd dry; pulverlzo Hue. Sat
urate wound with oil, then cover tho
wound with nlum, dusted on with a
dust spray. This may bo applied once
or twlco dnlly."
Peril I n K Cnrrotn.
Kxperlments In tho feeding of car
rots, beets nnd small potntocs to cows
show that milk fever Is less llnhlo to
occur when cows aro fed liberally on
root crops than when they aro confined
to liny aud grain. No corn should bo
given six weeks beforo calving. Lin
seed menl may bo allowed with tho
hay, which should bo cut flno and the
linseed menl sprinkled over It.

shown lu tho cut. Then place It on tho
outside of tho ladder to bo length
cued, bore two holes through each side
piece, put a bolt In each bole, and the
ladder Is four feet longer. After using
It can be changed to original size much
quicker than If tied with ropes, and
It's safer. The top ends of tho ladder
should bo cut out to receive tho lower
rung of the extension. John Upton, In
Farm Progress.
Keep Flue Poultry aa Bracdera.
A specluicnt lacking tho shape of the
breed Is not typical of the breed and
should not bo admitted to the breeding
pen becauso of fancy points of color,
comb or eye. Tho male bird should bo
truo to type, perfect In shape, proud
and showy, and of as good color and
markings as possible, the more style
and strut be puts on the better.
Cartas; Main la Ilasr.e
Mange lu hogs Is not difficult to cure
and seldom causes death. It Is caused
by a parasite under the surface of the
akin, which produces Irritation aud
later a scab. This Is contagious. The
beat treatment Is to wash the pigs In
oft water and soap, then rub In dry
sulphur. Repeat In a week. A third
treatment Is seldom necessary.
