j ritOTECTION FOB SMALL AXIMAW.
If large and small cattle or hogs are
fed and housed together the smaller
animals will hardly thrive. They will
be whipped away from the trough and
got less than their share of the food ;
and they will be driven around or
from the shelter, and the largo ani
mals will scarcely profit from the mis
fortunes of thoir smaller fellows, as
driving the others from feed and
theltcr will "work off a good part of
the flesh from tho extra feea. Some
times tho smaller animals are soriously
injured ; and in the larger animals is
developed a quarrelsome disposition
that is not desirablo, to say tho least.
Yet other considerations make it a
bud plan to confine small and largo
animals in' the same enclosure. Much
better results will be secured by put
ting only a few animals in the same
enclosure, and those of the same size.

i CONSTMTTION OF WHEAT.
Tho use of wheat for stock food
complicates the difficulty of determin
ing tho consumption of this grain. It
is calculated that in the West forty
per celit. of the hogs are being sup
plied this grain and that it is being also
fed in large quantities to all other
classes of stock. The practice is
spreading in the East in many sec
tions, so that it would appear that the
farmer; have themselves solved tho
question what to with their surplus
wheat.
'"'""'Wheat certainly is superior to corn
for growing animals, as it contains
about thirty per cent, more protein,
or tissue-building matter, than corn.
On the other hand, corn produces fat
and is the better food for finishing off
animals. The two grains are not
yeally rivals. The one serves as a
complement of the other. Farmers
will do well to study the feeding ques
tion and learn how wheat can be most
profitably converted into animal pro
ducts. New York World.
FEEDING POTATOES TO SITEEP.

the potato for feeding to sheep, but
as this animal has but a weak diges
tion, it will be advisable to cook
the potatoes for them, and add bran
to the food . The Btarch of the potato
is very indigestible when raw, and, as,
by cooking, the cells in which the
Btarch is contained are broken, and
the starch granules are swollen and
burst by the expansion caused by the
heat, the food thus prepared is fully
and easily digested. There is more
to ,be learned by experience in the
management of sheep than from
ecienoe, for this animal is peculiar and
always will be, and thus the result of
feeding other animals upon certain
foods do not apply to sheep. So that
it is wise, when one has got a good
feeding ration for a flock, to avoid
changing it, unless by the most care
ful preliminary experiments. But ex
perience has shown that potatoes,
boiled until they are mealy, in conse
quence of the rupture of the starch,

bran a pound for each full grown

broken up, have been both digestible

Do not keep the hay over the stable,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
The Poultry Monthly tells of a man
who paid 9325 for one pair of pigeons
recently.
Warm water two or three times a
day in the coldest weather helps solve
the egg problem.
There is hardly a breed of fowls to
day that does not have its counterpart
in the bantam class.
An 'old horse dealer says : "If you
want to buy a horse, don't believe
your own brother."
Don't wait until yon build the big
barn before sheltering the cows. Build
the Bhelter for them and they will
help you build the barn.
Breed well, and when you have a
heifer calf as the result of such breed
ing feed well and train properly, and
you will have a good cow.
Don't regard milch cattle solely as
machines, but remember that they
have some flesh and blood about them
that merits appropriate treatment.
There is no better crop for the win
ter feeding of sheep than oats and
peas mixed. It is very, nutritions,
and is eaten with avidity by the
sheep.
Feed milk to the swine warm, and in
troughs that are free from ice or filth.
Add something to make np the loss of
butter fat, such aa a little oorn or
barley meal.
Give carrots, turnips and other
juicy root feeds to horses plentifully
in winter, ihey will vary the monot
ony of equine hard tack and they are
excellent for the digestion.
Give the fowls some litter to scratch
in. ihey will amuse themselves if you
only give them the necessary play
things, and a busy hen generally
means a healthy and laying one.
A pig is a pig till it is a year old.
Then it becomes a hog. In classifica
tion of fairs, however, when a premium
is offered for a sow and pigs, it is un
derstood that the pigs are to be under
six months old.
The exact temperature for loosening
the hair from the skin of a pig at
butchering is ISO degrees. The pig
should remain a full minute in the
water at this temperature to give
time for the hair to be loosened.
The swine will respond in a profit
able way just as promptly to good
treatment as do tad coirs to good care.
If, at t'.e same time, the pigs have
dry, warm, healthful quarters, they
will grow as fait as in summer on
clover.
Tot's represents money, just the
same as butter doe.-', and if there is a
chance to make it out of the caseiu of
milk, it should surely be done. With
this in view, don't lot your skimmed
milk freeze, nor let it sour or ferment
in a filthy tub or barrel.
In the East, at least, the pig pen is
a natural concomitant of the, dairy.
lurougu the utter neglect given to
these animals on many farms, pigs
cannot be successfully bied, and
every spring they must bepurohased

The bearing of a few berries out of
