Some observers have noted that this rise coincides with the equally steady rise in the standard of comfort. The fact that it is almost impossible for married couples with children to find steady employment on farms and stations in New South Wales and oth er parts of Australia is creating a pub lic stir which Is almost assuming the dimensions of a national scandal. A will was contested not long ago in New York because the testatrix had bequeathed a grand piano, several oil paintings and five pieces of Japaneso pottery to a police station. The pro testing legatee won out, and there was a reversion of those art treasures to the regular heirs. Sacred cattle are slaughtered and shipped to Paris to help out the scar city of beef.

The resu.ts of a Wisconsin breeder Mta Darley In feeding hogs show that barley and milk beat corn all to hol low. The barloy was ground and was ted with skim milk. There was n greater proportion of lean meat than with corn fed hogs. The hogs made quicker and heavier gains than any lot fed on corn on this farm, and when sold they topped the market. Some breeders are slow to take up barley. Corn has always been held as the ration par excellence for hogs, and not many are willing to try any tain else. if you have a field of barley coming on, throw some in sheaf over to the hogs, give the pigs a chance at It, and If you can supple ment this with some skim milk and the run of a clover field you have a combination hard to heat. L. C. Urown. Weeds for Sheep. The Minnesota station gives the analysis of weeds which sheep et readily, and their protein contents compared with alfalfa, clover and timothy hay. It will be a surprise to many to see how high in protein these weeds are, and it suggests the reason sheep nourish on them, worthless as they are otherwise. Lambs quarters, 25.06 protein; 54.64 carbohydrates, 1.96 fat. Purslane, 26.13 protein, 53.70 carbohydrates, 2.9 fat. Pigweed, 26.54 protein, 62.86 rarbohydrates, 1.36 fat.

Clover, 73.35 protein, 52.28 carbohydrates, 3.65 fat. Timo thy hay, 8.75 protein, 41.76 carbo hydrates, 2.16 fat. The Pig Pen. The pig stye Is nearly always filled with materials for absorbing ma nure, but It is not cleaned as fre quently as It should bo. in tho win ter if the yard contains absorbents they become soaked during rains, and are disagreeable locations for pigs. The pig prefers a dry location, as It suffers severely on damp cold days. The materials In the pig stye will be of more service it added to a manure heap and a plentiful supply of straw thrown into the yard in its place. The covered shed or sleeping quarters, should bo littered a foot deep with cut straw which may be thrown into the yard after being used, but tho yard should always be cleaned out after a rain and dry material then added. Epltomlst. Carelessness Causes Colic. Colic in horses is generally the re sult of careless or Improper feeding. The stomach of a horse Is small and the digestion Is limited, and if the horso is hungry and ovorfed or is al lowed to gulp down a big feed colic Is the result. Also If musty hay or musty, sour feed is used, or If fresh cut grass wet with dew or rain is hastily oaten in large quantities collo is often tho result. Too .Much Fancy Ilivi'dlng. Horses havo beon trained nnd bred until tho movement of ihe fore legs closely resemble tho graceful pile driver, combined with tho pleasing linos of a half oponed foot rule. Cows have been developed until they require moro nursing than a steam-heated fiat reared babe. Give llores Good Red. Don't make the horses sleep on tho nard, cold lloor, hut give them plenty of bedding and it will pay you In many ways. Do not put any unnec essary cruelty on any of tho faithful unlinhU. Ueddlng makes the manure more valuable and the horso looks better. Cow Tlmt Slobbers.
