The girl was silent. It seemed to be a
little idol. He held it for a moment in
his hand, and then set it down on the
table opposite to them. It was the image
of a man squatting upon the ground, a
man with long, low forehead, small fea-
tures, and great eyes. His lips were part-
ed in a hideous smile. There was a
strange leer upon the chiseled features.
"What a hateful -looking object!" Pryde
muttered.
The girl's eyes were fixed steadily upon

Profits in Ground Grain.
Where stock eat the grain its tta
natural unbroken state, it is very
seldommasticated as thoroughly as
it should, be. Most animals are
naturally gluttonous, and in their
haste `to' eoltsurie grain they swat-
low'muoh of. it without cl'ushing or'
grinding it, writes Mie M. Cover -
dell,
This wields a detrimental effect
on the stock that is twofold. The
grain in this solid condition,. cannot
impart proper nourishment to the
anunals and the digestive and as=
similative organs - will be ::overtaxed,
r
and impaired in their efforts to
convert this coarse feed into sub-
stance that will build up the tis-
sues of. the body.
, t
Aside from these two detramen e
we must consider that unground
feed causes a waste . by passing
whole and practically unchanged,
through the animal; or, if the stock '
do eat an amount large enough
from which sufficient nourishment
can be extracted, it means about
twice as much •must be fed to be
converted into bone and muscular
tissue.
The failure of the stook to mas-
ticate unground - grain will also
cause a lack of digestive secretions
or juices so essential to this pro-
cess; then, in order to supply this
deficiency, the animals have a crav-
ing for water and a large quantity
is thus consumed --much more than.
is necessary—and yet, this enorm-
ous amount of water has not the
desired effect in promoting diges-
tion as do the natural juices that
should have been brought down by
'thorough mastication. - -
Oa the other hand, where the
grain is ground before feeding, it
is fine and dry, adhering to the
animal's mouth when it takes a
bite, till it has to chew before it
can swallow. This avoids the draw-
back above mentioned, and by the
grain being well crushed it insures.
thorough digestion; later, its put-.
verized condition renders it im-
mediately available for the assimi-
lative organs to convert into nour-
ishment --bone and muscle—with-
out overtaxing any of the organs
of these two systems and at. the
same time it will render less of this
ground feed necessary to keep th
animal in prime shape. -
Other important features in fa-
vor of grinding grain for feeding
purposes are : It is easier to handle
than the whole grain; if fed in the f
proper receptacles the stock will
not waste as much of it as the whole
grain ; the mantute formed from it
will be of finer texture, more easily
and quickly made available for the
rejuvenation of soils; in case the ; •
crushed grain is corn on the ear
which is our staple feed in a vast
Dorn -belt area, part of the cob is
rendered digestible and a great eco-
nomy in feed is thus brought about.
It can be measured more accur-
ately at- feeding time than whole
grain, especially the corn on the .
ear, and this is most important as
it enables one to be more regular
as to the amount of feed given each
animal which will promote regular
ity in the digestive and assimila-
tive systems and promote a healthy,
vigorous development of all the tis- '
sues.
