Finest Bacon and Hams.
The finest bacon and hams raised
.n England come from hogs fed
principally upon skim milk and bar
ley meal. It is claimed by the Eng
lish producers that American bogs
are practically all fed on corn, which,
although a perfectly wholesome food,
tends to' make the hog fat and a lit
tle mellow, whereas feeding by the
British method glvos a meat beauti

Us of Blood Meal for Calves.
A little blood meal, commencing
with a teaspoon and gradually In
creasing to a tcblespoonful at each
feeding, is said to bavo beneficial
results with calves that are not doing
vory well, but as this meal contains
about 60 per cent, of digestible pro
tein it would hardly seem to bo a
proper complement to sklmmllk for
continuous feeding.
Baby Beef.
A new style of baby beef has been
set in some portions of the east, par
ticularly in Pennsylvania, and fat lit
tle animals, weighing from four to
eight hundred pounds, are now prime

Good Sow Should Possess Shoulders1
of Great Depth and Fair Width,
With Ribs Well Sprung.
A good rolnnd-Chlna sow, snys
breeder, should havo shoulders of
grcnt depth and fair width, tho ribs
well sprung to glvo room for tho vital
organs, and for this same reason tho
breast bone should bo sot low down,
nnd bo wide, filling out tho sunken
places Just back of tho front legs, or
shoulders so notlcenblo In scrubs.
Tho lilpo should come forwnrd and
connect to tho backbone nenr enough
to the shoulders, so that tho connect
ing point Is n little, short of midway
of tho entire dlstonee from tho shoul
der, to tho rear of the hnm, thereby
making a strong back with good,
stout coupling, and giving n great top
nnd fore length to tho hnm.
This shnpo of limns and back will
glvo deep, full sides with great length
of lower lino when well let down In
tho flanks, enabling tho bow to carry
n good-sized litter without getting so
stuffy nnd clumsy.
FEED FOR VIGOROUS GROWTHl
Healthy Shoats Need Bone and Meat
Meal Together With Freshly
Burned Wood Ashes. .
Bono nnd meat meal, nnd dry, cloan,
freshly burnt ashes from hardwood
are necessary for vigorous, healthy
growth In little pigs. Ono tablespoon
fill of bono mcnl nnd two spoonfuls
of meat mcnl should bo given nt each
feed. Ashes help digestion, cleans tho
stomach nnd is useful In other ways.
Tho ashes should bo freshly burnt,
well sifted and dry. lluriit corn cobs
may bo given instead of ashes. No
ono feed, however good it may bo,
should bo constantly fed. Tho hog is
a grass animal nnd will do well on
grass nnd clover pasture in summer,
and fine cut clover hay, well scalded
nnd mixed with wheat bran, wheat
middlings and a small quantity of
flaxseed meal during tho winter feed

dry. Glvo a warm bed of leaves.

thoy must havo dry, warm, well-bedded

frozen slop are certain to produce dis
ease. HOG CHUTE MADE ON WHEELS

Indigestion In Sheep.
Indigestion is a very common all
ment among sheep during the wlntet,
months, and attacks are frequent, s-'
peclally while the flock is confined to
dry feed. The ailment may be char
acterized as a failure of the natural
changes which feed undergoes in the
alimentary canal. Sheep confined to
a dry, narrow ration, without any form
of succulent food, aro more apt to
Buffer attacks ot indigestion than
when on pasture. Ordinarily the ail
ment is not serious, but if permitted
to run Its course takes a more acute
stage and frequently results fatally.
Make a 'separate pen for your
brood sows and don't have too much
straw.
A man who will keep his sheep in
a muddy lot has small conception of
his duty.
Whitewashing stables makes them
lighter, cleaner and much more
healthful and sanitary.
When a farmer has bad silage for
his ewes one winter he hardly knows
how to keep them without it.
When horses are first put in a
etrango barn they will frequently not
eat well for perhaps a week.
Noon is a good time to supply the
stock with some green stuff, such as
cabbages or roots of any kind.
A sheep is the most nervous animal
on tho farm and get into low condi-
tlon quickly and recovers slowly.
Sllago keeps tho sappy appearance
of the sheeps' bodies and a luster in
the wool that dry feed will seldom do.
Don't feed carrots too liberally to
tbo horses; they are a laxative. Cut
in slices so they can be easily chewed
up.
A pig five months old requires one
pound of digestible nitrogenous feed
to five pounds of digestible carboby
drates.

Why Should a Chicken
Lay a Soft-Shelled Egg?
Because, Willie, the chicken don't know how to create a hard-shelled egg unless
it has some food with lime in it
So chicken-raisers often provide limestone gravel, broken oyster shells or some
other form of lime.
Let the chicken wander free and it finds its own food and behaves sensibly.
Shut it up and feed stuff lacking lime and the eggs are soft-shelled.
Let's step from chickens to human beings.
Why is a child "backward" and why does a man or woman have nervous pros
tration or brain-fag? There may be a variety of reasons but one thing is certain.
If the food is deficient in Phosphate of Potash the gray matter in the nerve cen
tres and brain cannot be rebuilt each day to make good the cells broken down by the
activities of yesterday.
Phosphate of Potash is the most important element Nature demands'-to unite
albumin and water to make gray matter.
Grape-NuU food is heavy in Phosphate of Potash in a digestible form.
A chicken can't always select its own food, but a thoughtful man can select suit
able food for his children, wife and himself.
