Cooking Food for Slock.
At the Farmers’ Club the other
day, Col Ourtis said : I have receiv
ed a letter from O. D. Whitcomb,
Rodman, N. Y., asking a series of
questions about cooking food for
stock, and al a late visit to Beacon
Farm 1 read them to William Cro
zier; and believing him to be at
least one of the best farmers in this
country , I give the questions and
answers;
How many cows do yon feed?
Ninety cows and other
Ho you feed horses cooked feed
entirely ?
Aus.— Yes.
Ho you feed horses any grain
clear ? If so, do you cook it ?
Ans ._Feed no clear grain; book
all in winter* ■ '
How much hay do you feed cows
per day?
Ans.— l feed about three per
cent, of the gross weight of the
animal, of my mixed food; all of it
steamed.
How many limes do you feed per
day? ’’ 3
Ans. —Twice^
Do you feed any raw bay ?
Ans. —Sometimes a little for a
change.
Do you feed straw mixed with
bay or cornfodder orf clear?
Ans.—Mixed.
How much hay do you consider a
ton of good oat-straw worth for
feeding cows, both being cooked ?
Ans. —About one-third.
Wheat and barley straw ?
A„s.—Good for bedding, unless
cut before the grain is ripe; the
erain must be lost to get value for
O
the straw.
Sowed corn ?
Ans. —Full as good as hay if cut
at proper lime.
Corn stalks ?
Ans. —Not so good.
Would you feed horses cooked
food through spring plowing and
other hard work?
Ans.— No. Feed hard feed, hay
and oats
W/H a steamer of 1,000 square
inches ot heating surface he large
enough to cook for fifteen cows ?
Ans.—A box eight feet long* four
feet high, and tour feet wide is
about what I use. Ido not know
what he means by heating surface.
A box fifty inches long and twenty
wide would have a bottom surface
of 1,000 square inches; make this
four or five feet high and it might
do him.
How long do you steam fodder,
and with how much pressure ?
Ans.— Two pounds pressure and
for three hours’ time.
Do vou feed mangel-wurtzel and
« o
other roots, and if so, cooked or
raw?
An«.—Yes. Cut,mixed with other
mod, and steamed.
llovv large a box do you use ?
An«.—l2B cubic feet.
How often do you cook fodder?
Ans.—Everyday.
Do yon feed cold ?
An*,— No; blood warra,no hotter.
What length do you cut fodder ?
Ans.— An inch, or an inch and a
I woifld further advise him to
manure well and plow deep, accord
to the old proverb.

Exchange, ' ’ :: ,- t
How to Make B«8> L«r* ;
Therdare many hens kept through
the winter which are not worth their
feed, because they are chilled and
half sickfrom being forced to live
on food not suited to their needs, or
too old for use. . A hen is ah egg
laying machine, and in order to
keep it in running order, it must be
fed with a variety of food, out of
which it can combine the various
parts of the egg—white, yolk and
shell. . ' .
Winter is the hardest season for
!
hens, and they require more at ten-,
tion at that time; but if suitable
food is given and the location ~of
their house is sunny and. comforta
ble, one can safely count on as many
eggs, in December, January and
February as in the summer months.
Their food must be varied; this is
an essential item in the care of hens.
It is best to feed corn, wheat, oats,
buckwheat and potatoes. Having
part of the corn just from the r cob,
and the rest either cracked like
hominy or in ground meal, and we
find it better to feed whole corn at
night, and the more easily digested
food at morning and noon.
When cold weather becomes set
tled, it is best also to wet up the
morning and noon feed with scald
ing water, and feed is quite hot ; for
Mr. Oock-a-doodle-doo and Dame
Partlett like a hot bit and sup of
food when the air is frosty and bit
ing quite as well as you and me; and
they also like to feel comfortable and
happy, and will dq, their work much
more regularly if this little attention
is granted to them.
Small potatoes, boiled and mash
ed, are also valuable food for them,
and it is a good plan .to boil up a
large kettle of them several times a
week; corn meal or wheat screen
ings can be mixed with it, but with
out grain, it will prove a palatable
dish and be greatly relished. A
little salt sprinkled over the pota
toes will make them more healthful.
The idea that salt will kill hens is
not exactly a true one; perhaps if
they ate large bits of rock salt it
might prove injurious, but we know
from experience that salt curd makes
chickens thrive, that hens eat of it
voraciously.
The practice of eating feathers
from their own and each other’s
necks, is also cared by an applica
tion of salt to their food, in liquid
or bulk. A tablespoonful stirred
into a gallon kettle of food makes it
of better quality.
Scrap cake,which can be purchas
ed of the butcher at a cheap rate, is
a very healthful food for poultry, as
it will supply the place of worms and
bugs, and give more warmth to their
systems.
*
Unless we give food that will
permit the ben to maufaoture the
egg shell, it will often produce fat
and no hen fruit; occasionally an egg
without a shell may be dropped and
then we knew that lime, or old mor
tar, bones or something containing
shell material must be provided. If
bone meal can be purchased, it is
the best food; if not, we must burn
all the meat bones we use, then
pound them and mix them with boil*
ing food. Oyster shells, pounded,
are good; and bitsof broken crockery
are esteemed as tit-bits by all “bid
dies.”
Green fopd, such, as cabbage
heads, etc., is al«o very much relish
ed, and farmers should always re
member to give the refuse cabbage
leaves to the hens rather than to the.
hogs.
Boxes of coal ashes, and sand or
gravel are also ,needful articles of
of furniture in every hennery; and
air slacked lime—-a shovelful every
few days-ris a dainty to the hens.
If piles ot ashes and lime are laid in
the corners of the house, the hens
will roll in them and keep them
selves free from vermin.. ■ , ' .
The Canadian way ofrmeasuring
a tree is said to be as certain as it is
grotesque. Yc»u Walk from the tree,
looking at it from tipie to time be
tween your knees. When you are
able to see the top in this way, your
distance from the root of the tree
equals its heiight. <|

pleasing and instructive entertainment, can secure
the services of Mr. Hamilton upon reasonable
terms. He is now making arrangements for a lec
ture tonr through the West early in the fell. His
lectures have been received with marked success
in New England, as a few selected notices wil
show:
WHAT THEY BAY OF "SMOKE."
: It was a keen and humorous exposure of the
“ Sham and Show" of life. His description of the
peculiarities of some Smoky men elicited bursts of
langbter and applause. He was fanny and instruc
tive both.— Boston Transcript.
It was a humorous lecture illustrated by an
abundance of witty and satirical anecdotes, exhib
iting the very superior descriptive powers of the
speaker, and showed in well defined style tbe value
of the real and trn e.—Ablngton Standard.
The lecture was received with laughter and ap
plause, as it revealed clouds of “Smoke” where
most people seldom look for fire.— Somerville
Journal.
The feast of reason and flow of soul produced
such laughter and applause that it is confidently
believed that certain dyspeptics in the audience
were permanently cured. Fast young men, ex
tremely fashionable young ladies, old logy preach
ers, intriguing politicians, spread eagle orators and
various otherjpersonages would best avoid hearing
this lecture ii they are afraid of sensible criticism.
