Food Vaiuea and Footling.
Tim Ibj Wi •. tn Tn ine •
One of the most interesting studies
for the farmer i the eomparative
value of the different kinds of food. 1
This requires not only a knowledge ;•
of the constituent elements of the j
food ilulf hut also a knowledge of!
the anatomy of the animal for which
the food is intended. Cattle are fur
nislicd with a complicated digestive
apparatus by means of which suit
stance*containing It'll, nullimcnt are
treated in such away as to extrael
from them their nutritive tnuteiial.
Thus straw, hay and fodder are prop,
er foods for them ; also lor sheep,
whose digestive apparatus is similar.
The digestive apparatus of the hor-e
la ao much simpler that these sub
stances alone cannot furnish siilll
cii nl nutriment except in the care of
early cut und propcily cured ha), or
grien corn fodder of ihc same kind.
As in tin- case of gieen grass, this
kind of hay und fodder tire digested
so rapidly that an Idle horse can IN;
kept in good condition upon them
alone; but the hi nt of hay or fodder
will not keep a horse in flesh even
with moderate work.
It is well known that the stomach
of no animal will perform.its func
tions to the best advantage unless it
is distend* d, or in other words
pnndeil to at least a moderate extent.
I hen-fore concern rated food*, as the
difli rent grains, do not furnish hulk

Dry Cows.
" 1
j M-nlfclj J.r- t RiillHl*.
It is a common practice among
, some dairymen to gixe their cows,
while dry, hut scanty living. Win n
a eow cea*es to give milk, or is dried
up, any fool i considered gmsl
enough for her. I think that this is
a grea. mistake, and the result is a
diminished product of milk, both in
quantity and quality, when she does
come in. There i* a large draft ou
the system to sustain the calf while
the cow is earning it, and to keep
the cow in gmwl condition, gmsl feed
i* as ini|NriMtil as wneti she is giving
milk. It i* the opinion that ft I worth
of food when the vow is dry is
worth $l5O after site comes in. An
animal in |>oor condition cannot di
gr-l as much Wl s an animal in
gmsl eiHidilion. If lite cow is ;oor
when she comes in she will not digest
enough foo.l to sup|sirt tlie s)U<m
and, at the same time, to make a
large quantity of utilk.
