It Is alnrays more or lew of a ques tion for the feeder of lire stock to d»> termine just where Lu fe«d will be worth the most; whether it will be best to feed for beef, pork or muttom or for milk, butter, cheese or wooL Prices one year cannot always be takes aa a basis for another, m what pays best one year will not always prore so the next One of the advantages in keeping a variety of stock is that a better opportunity is afforded of realiz ing a profit on the whole than when dependence is placed upon one kind of stock. If one could know the con dition of the market ahead in many cases at least the feeding might be done with a better profit By keeping a variety of stock the risks may be greatly lessened. To this may he added a better opportunity of feeding out the various farm products. Where a system of rotation is fol lowed and a variety of crops grown a large per cent would go to waste tf only one kind of stock were fed. In growing the grain to feed and fas ten »ho hog there is more or less rough ness that can be used to a good advan tage in feeding other kinds of stock, and at a less cost than when only one kind of stock is kept Many could not afford to keep cattle were it not for the lact that during growth they can be fed material that would, to a consider able extent at least, go to waste, and while even then the margin of profit may be small, yet it is converting un marketable products into money, and at the same time securing more or less manure to keep up the fertility Rais ing a variety of crops lessens the risk of failure and affords a better oppor tunity of keeping stock at a less cost, while keeping a variety of stock af fords a better opportunity of using the various products of the farm to best advantage, lessening the waste and lessening the risks. Under some conditions making a specialty of one kind of stock may be the most profita ble, but ordinarily the better plan is to keep a good variety —Prairie Farmer. DAIRY SUGGESTIONS. Whew a cow calves give her a bucket of water in which is Kirred a double handful of middlings or a single handful of Unseed meal. She is gen erally very thirsty at the time and a warm drink, in cold weather, is very acceptable; give her this drink for three days at least THERE IS no necessity for feeding the calf on whole milk after the first week. Begin to change to skim milk and put in a little linseed meal or middlings to take the place of the cream. Calves soon learn to eat hay, and some should be kept where they can get it Clover hay is the best, of course. THERE is always a big loss made by letting the cow stand outdoors whon it is cold or stormy. If the regular hour for stabling 1 the cows has not come t but a storm has. put the cows la the stable at once If it is an hour or two before feeding time give them some thing to eat in the way of "roughness." They will cat almoet>anything under such circumstances DON'T let the cows have access to the horse manure. They will eat enough of it to make the butter bitter. They don't eat it on account of the salt in it, for when they have all the salt they want they will still eat the horse ma nure. They will eat it when it is spread on the pasture, so it is not merely • cold weather craving they have for it Oolman'a Rural World Biblical Information. Funny Boarder—Please pass the Sam son.
