WATER AND .ASJI VALUE,
The animal coneumee water either*
lua fluid etate, or when combined
with fee& more or lees solid. Water
is valuable in the procese of diges-
tion, absorption and assimilation. Its
Main mission is to flush out the in-
testinal tract, and aealat itt regulating
the temperature ot the body.
Stockmen heve found that a saving
i6 effected by warming the water dur-
ing the cold months of the year for
Klelt animals, like the (Lary eaw, that
are by nature poorly protected.
Where the feed atuffs aro in a green
eondition like fodder corn,' be pasture
erase, or have been preserved in such
a way as to hold meet of the water
formerly present. as in silage or the
various root crops, they are Icnc.wn as
suceulent .feeds. Even when -the feed
atuffs have been air dried, some wat-
ar will still be retained, as is shown
byanalysis elucculent feeds add pal-
atability to the ration, and when •fed

juices in the alimentary tract. CC51sft.
euently, at eeaecnte when animals are
being kept on dried feeds alone, if
some succulent feed is added to the
ration, results are secured which can-
not be araohntecl for by the addition
Cf the actual feed nuitriments it con-
tains.
Professor Campbell, of the Maine
Experiment Station, says animals will
in the natural eourse of feeding, be
oupplied with sufficient mineral or
ash constituents.
Usually the only mineral fed dir-
ect to animals is, common salt. Self
fed regularly and itt limited quanti-
dee elm as a condiment. gives the
animal a keen appetite and stimulates
the secretion of digestive fluids. The
animal skeleton is largely coxnposed
of lime and pborephorous in the form
of .ee.leitun phosphate.
PROTEIN, OARIIOHYDRATS AND
PAT.
The most expensive compound
found in feeding stuffs is protein, and
It is the only one which contains ni-
trogen,
There is no other compound that
will take the place of protein. Pro-
tein may, however, when fed in ex-
cess, do the work of carbohydrates and
fats, but at a greater east. Protein
Is an essential part of the body cells
and meat therefore be fed in .quanti-
ties suffielent to satisfy the needs of
the animal; at the same time, on ac-
count of the expense involved it is
very deeirable that only the minimum
amount required shall be fed.
A tow giving a large flow of .milk
requires more protein than she does
later when the flow has decreased.
When an over -supply of protein is fed,
the exce,es nitrogen becomes a. waste
product and passes off through the
kidneys in the form of urea, and the
remaining portion of the protein is
used to take the place of carbo -hy-
drates or fat.
The word earbohydrate is used to
denote a compound composed of crude
fibre end nitrog,enefree extract. Fibre
is the woody portion of the feeding
etuft. It Is less digestible than meat
other parts -of the feed. The nitrogen -
free extract may be considered as the
total dryesubetance of the plant less
the aeh; Protein, fibre and fat.
Commpn examples of caa,bohydratee
are the starches and sugaaaA feeding
stuff containing a large ameunt of
carbobydrates in comparison to the
protein is called a carbonaceous feed.
Corn is tepical of this form of feed
stuff. Carbohydrates are used in the
animal body to aupply heat or energy
i—energy being a synonymous term
with heat—and for the building up of
the body fat.
The fat contained in feeding stuffs
serves to create heat or energy when
this is not taken care of by the carlace
aydrates,and also furnishes material
Lor storing body fat. Fat contains the
same elements as the carbohydrates,
viz., carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, but
varies in the proportion of hydrogen
and oxygen. Fat also has a greater
heat value than carbohydrates. When
equal portions—by weight—of fat and
carbohydrates are fed to animaTs it
has been found that the fat furnishes
at least two and a quarter times as
much heat as the carbohydrates; or,
in other words, it will do two and a
quarter times as much work. Fat also
has a soothing eftect upon the diges-
tive tract, and helps to keep the ani-
mal in good condition. Fat, when con-
sidered as a whole, may be said tobe
compoeed of several fats varying in
amount and in Melting point. For this
reason the tendency of butter to come
soft or hard may be influenced by the
kinds of feed fed to the cows. The
Man who is producing bacon needs to
feed his hogs on such material that
the bacon will be hard when it is
cured.
ROUGHAGE AND CONCENTRATES.
The term "roughage" indicates
coarse feeds—where the whole plant is
Used either with or without the seeds.
The term "concentrates" includes
feeds in which the seed or a part of
the seed is used, either whole or
ground. Roughages are usually
thought of as carrying small amounts

of the digestible nutrients wben emu -
pared with the concentrates.
The term "digestion coefficient"
Meens the percent age a nutrient that
is actually utilized by the animal, and
is determined by tactual experiments
With animals.
The digestible nutrients are those
portions of the food which are digested
or utilized by thceauhnal. The amount
of digestible nutrieuts are found by
taking the analysis of a feed stuff and
multiplying the amount of each cora-
pound by its respective digestion co-
efficient.
It is the digestible food nutrients
which must concern the feeder of live
stock. In making up his feeding;
rations he must take into account not
only the amount - of food material
actually required for the maintenance,
but also for the work the animal may
be called upon to do, such as the pro-
duction of milk, meat or the drawing
Of a load.
The digestible nutrients of a food
stuff are not a true measure of the
nutritive value to the animal. The
raastication, digestion and assimila-
tion of food materials actually requires
a certain amount of work on the part
of the animal, The more work or
energy that is expended in this way,
the less there is left for the other
uses of the animal. That which is
left is termed the "net energy." This
net energy is used by the animal in
the work performed by the heart,
lungs and other internal organs. If
a fair surplus remains after satisfying
the maintenance requirements, it may
be used for the production of fat,
growth, wool, milk or work. It is
readily seen that a pound of digestible
carbohydrates in corn is worth more
to the animal eating it than is a pound
in oat straw, because but little energy
will be expended by the animal in
handling the corn, while the oat straw
will call for a considerable amount to
handle it, This should not, howeveie

Animals require a certain amount of
fibre and dry matter. The heat
evolved as a result of the work re-
quired in the digestive process helps
to keep the animal warm, and the

FARM NEWS AN VIEW.
Manure from the barnyard and hen
house are both valuable as top dress-
ings. Orchards and. permanent pas-
tures will be made to produce much
more if manure ie judiciously applied.
Here judgment most be exercised in
the work, for some crops will not
stand heavy top dressing, while oth-
ers will be benefited by all you can
give them. Garden and asparagus can-
not be manured too heavily, and the
writer has never known an apple or
pear tree to be injured by a heavy ap-
plication iti the orchard, but has seen
cherry trees killed by it. Celery likes
a very rich soil,. but dressings of
manure are detrimental. If you do not
know how much to give, dress light-
ly and increase as it seems advisable.
Better a little less than they will
thrive under than too much. In wet

MAIZE; INDIAN CORN.
Greateelt of American Food Pro-
' ducts—Something About
Corn is such a commonplace, ordin-
ary sort of thing and so uninteresting
to moat city -bred people that perhaps
Lew realize just how important is the
role it playa in the economic well-
being. Some of the most striking
facts, as brought out in an article by
Edward Albes in the Bulletin of the
Pan-American Union, 'Washington,
may surprise some. For instance, the
United States produces three-fourthe
of the entire coin crop of the world.
Ip. 1915 the country's production
amounted to 3,054,536,000 bushels, hav-
ing a farm value of over $1,755,860,000.
When it is stated, rnorever, that if we
add the value of the record-breaking
wheat crop of 1515, amounting to
$930,302,000, to the value Of the big
cotton crop of the same year, amount-
ing to $602,393,000, the sum of the two
still lacks $233,165,000 of reaching the
'value of the humble corn crop., some
idea of the importauce of the last-
named may be had.
The history of the great cereal is
dealt with by the writer of this article,
was well as its manifold uses as a food
Lor man and beast, as a beverage and
as an important factor in many kinds
of manufactured products. Relative to
its origin, the writer introduces the
subject by a brief disquisition anent
man's teeth, which show that he is
both carniverous and granivorous, and
ontinues:
"Rub off the thin—mostly thin—
veneer of civilization and place him in
the primitive environment of his re-
mote ancestors, man will prove to be
about the same animal. His elemental
nafure thas undergonelut little change,
Doubtless his brain has been devel-
oped and his mental maohinery some-
what improved, but Ills complicated
physical structure is but little altered.
To keep that physical structure in
good repair and to keep tho entire
human machine in a high state of effi-
ciency, man has found that he needs
a variety of food, As a consequence
he has from' time to time discovered
new things that are, 'good to eat,'
things that contain the chemical ele-
ments in one form or another that he
needs to replace the tissues of nerve,
muscle, bone and fat—the brain and
brawn—that are wasted during his
day of activity. Meat contains some
of these elements, as do nuts and
fruits, but the greatest food, those
upon which the greatest number of,
men depend, are the grains, the one
most recently made known to what we.
are pleased to call the 'civilized' world,
is the one given to it by the Americas,
viz., Indian corn, better known beyond
the confines of the United States by
the name of 'maize,' the spelling of
the word varying somewhat in • the
several languages into which it his
been incorporated.
"That maize was unknown to Euro-
pean'Asiatic and African peoples be-
fore the discovery of America is now
well established. Aside from the testi-
monyeof HUmboldt, Darwen and others,
the niatter of the origin of maize was
finally settled by the celebrated Swiss
botanist, Alphonse De Conaolle, who,
after sifting all the evidence, makes
the 'statement in the revised 1882
edition of his 'Origin of Cultivated
Plants' that 'maize is of Ameriean
origin, and has only been introduced
Into the old "world since the discovery
of the new.'
"Just where in the Amerieas It orig-
inated is a mooted question. Accordine
to Condolle, at the time of the discov-
ery of the new continent maize was
one of the staples of its agriculture,

States. The natives planted it around
their temporary .dwellings where they

bus found it to be the principal fooa
of the natives of the Island of Santo

Linguistic evideace shows that it was

Caribs of the West Indies, but the
time of this introduction can only be
conjectured. That it was long before

common sympton is twitching of the

the disease progresses this twitching
takes the form of spasms in wbich
the jerking motion may be confined
to the head, or all the limbo may be
affected. The patient is .frequently
unable to hold. anything in the handa
or ,walk steadily, and in severe cases,
the speech may be affected. The
disease is due to impoverished
nerves, owing to the blood being out
of condition and can be cured. by the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which
enrich the blood, atrengtfien .ho
nerves, and in this way restore the suf-
ferer to good health. /ely symptom
of nerve 'trouble in young children
should be promptly treated as it is
almost sure to lead to St. Vitus
Dance. The following is proof of
the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
to cure this trouble, Miss Hattie
Cummings, R. R. No. 3, Peterboro,
Ont., says:—"I was attacked with
what the doctor said was St. Vitus
Dance. Both my hands trembled so
as to be practically uaeless. Then
the trouble went to my left side, and
from that to my right leg, and left
me in such a condition that I was eaot
able to go out of the house. I took
the doctor's medicine without get-
ting any benefit. Then I tried an-
other remedy with the same poor re-
sults. At Ude stage I was advised
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and
did so, with the result that they fully
restored me to health, and I have
not had the slightest sympton of
nervous trouble since. I can recom-
mend. these pills to anyone who is
suffering from nervous trouble, and
hope they will profit by my experi-
ence."

PREVENT PNEUMONIA.
Increase Physical Resistance by
Husbanding the Strength.
'Pneumonia is largely a disease of
middle life. Its greatest incidence is
during the active stage of idult life.
About 80 per cent. of the cases of
pneumonia show the presence of types
of germs which are oftentimes very
virulent, but which. depend upon con-
tact for their distribution,
"Carriers" are effective and danger-
ous in this distribution. Such "Car-
riers" in the room ot recovered Pati-
ents ,may retain the virulent pneu-
raced for nearly a month and may
during that time be dangerous to
those who come in contact with them.
The prevention of pneumonia is pos-
sible. Thefirst thing to do Is to keep
up the physical resistance—to take
care of the health and to avoid abus-
ing it, Both innocently and wilfully
we. may weaken our resistance to pneu-
monia. Habitually neglecting to have
a needed amount of sleep and persist-
ency in Working early and late, ane
not having enough food to eat, is an
innocent way of weakening one's phy-
sical resistanee.
Other ways of destroying the reels -
tenets consist ip deliberately doing what
is known to ,undermine the vitality,
seth as needlessly exposing oneself to
sudden changes of temperature and
cold, excessive fatigue, intemperance

Baths Relieve Pain.
Sufferers throughout' the world are
gaining relief from theraupetic ex-
periences by tit° doctors in the hospi-

the pain of the wounded soldiers. At
a large hospital it was found that the
Quantity of opiate given some of the
men who were suffering from severe
wounds. seriously retarded their re-
covery. At an experiment, several
were suspended in tubs through which
water at a temperature of 100 degrees
Fahrenheit was kept running. One

ANCIENT ARMIES.
Only Ones Approximately in Size
Those of To -day.
When King Xerxes of Persia invad-
ed Greece in 840 B.C. he was said by
lierodotus to have brought across the
riellespont an army of 1,700,000 men,
gathered from all western and much
of Central Asia, including the Greek
cities on the coast of the Aegean sea.
There has been a good deal of skeet'.
cismeabout these figures, says Robert
Ellie Thompson in the Irish World,
on the ground that such a body would
have been tound utterly unwieldly,
and it was too large for any system or
supply of food, and that nobody can be
sure that it was counted correctly.
And from that time to our own no
army of one mann or more was ever
mustered into fight, unless it were the
horde of Huns, who fought the battle
of Chalons in A. D. 451, with the
Goths and Romans, and left 260,000 of
their number dead on the field of con-
flict.
While fighting still went on in the
Middle Ages, within' and between the
nations into which the Roman Empire
was divided in that century, armies
may be' said to have ceased to exist.
The military forces were composed of
realel tenants of the several kings,
who left their peaceful occupations at
the call for troops, and went back to

tnem 'when the war was fever. But
with the invention of gunpowder a
great change came, and standing arm-
ies in the services oi' the kings began
to arise, with the result of overthrow-
ing the rude system, of popular con-
trol of kings and. princes, which the
ieudal system had preserve. Bat
sue: armies were numbered by the
ten or at most the hundred thousand,
and millions, disappeared from mili-
tary arithmetic. Even tho wars of the
French Revolution did not engage such
vast numbers. At Wagram setae
three hundred thousand were en-
gaged, and Leipzig the Allies alone
numbered as many. This was the
maximum,
We get back to the millions with the
wilted States Mil War, as more than
1.000,000 soldiers were under arms in
the national service when the struggle
came to all end. At that moment Am-
erica was the greatest military eountry
or the world, and the knowledge of
this fact lent force to our demands for
the evacuation of Mexico by the
lerench, and for the pavement of the
Alabanut claims by .the tlignSh.
