A low sleeping .berth made of old 'boards flit( covered with straw Within or near• a shed for feeding per - poses, is necessary. While a straw ayecfme ell is often desirable to give horses a little extra attention before they are offered' for safe, either at a public sale'oe otherwise. An animal in a nice fat condition always brings a better price than este which appears to be in a rundown condition, and one will more than be repaid for the expense of getting tho animals in good marketable shape. When it Is the desire to make large gains daily, heavy grain feeding will have to be practiced and. this means the cutting down of the hay supply. Twelve or fifteen pounds of hay daily will be enough for the average horse, and after that he ought to have just about all the grain he will ,loan up three times a day.. If a horse won't fatten when fedcorn, oats and clover hay, then his digestive system must be out of condition. .0f course, there are some horses that are naturally slow to 'take on additional flesh and they 'must be given individual atten- tion. The first thing to do with one df this kind is to have hie tenth ex- antbined and put in shape if they are out of order, We have in mind one case where a horse was"fattened" all winter and he never gained a paundv, In the spring the advice of a veter- inarian was sought and it was found that the horse had two long grinders and he actually couldn't bring his teeth together. But even when their teeth are in perfect condition, there will sometimes be individuals in a bunch that evill not do well on corn, oats and clover hay, They have to be petted, as it were, and there ares different ways of doing this. If one can get a horse of this kind to eat a warm brae} mash two or three. times a week this will often bring him into condition, and especially .if you will give him a tablespoonful ofsulphur once a week. A ration of molasses once a day also frequently gives goad results when the animals are not oth- erwise doing well. Many a goad horse gets his diges- tive system out of condition, but he can be put back iii singe and be worth a good deal of money if he is started in the right way, and that is why it is advisable to go to a little extra• trouble in handling those .individual's that do not respond to the ordinary Whin. .It may also be added that one can sometimes get greater gains by feeding soaked grain than can be made by feeding it dry. Soaking may be done anywhere from twenty four to thirty-six hours. This ap- plies especially to those cases where a horse is inclined to bade the colic un- der high pressure feeding. Vita.mines exist in their beat and purest Purr,t in milk, acid in a less degree in green vegetables and in whole grains. The fat-soluble is in the fat globules of the milk that form Cream, And the water-soluble is in the skim milk. Both are unharmed by cooking. HIRAM JOHNSON, LID. The oldest cai;ablisited Raw Fur Dealers Itri Montreal HIGHEST MARKET i'ft14F.3 PAID Satisfaction guaranteed to shippers 410 at,Prtu1,St.West, Montreal Seel), The sheep shearing machine is practical. I don't think -a man can shear anymore sheep in a day than he can with a common pair of sheep shears if he is an expert, but the sheep shearing machine alleles a novice to shear sheep without nut- ting them all to pieces and, too, if ho is careful he can get along without cutting the fibre oft twice as is done in many instances with a common parr of sheep:shears. It would be very difficult to tell a man how to use a sheep shearing tae. chine without being there and giving personal instructions. If you can run a horse clipping machine there is no reason why you can't run a sheep shearing machine. There is more in getting the knack of holding the sheep- in a proper position than there is in operating the machine it- self. Of course, one man must turn the crank in operating this nwch't.e and -.the other man must hold the sheep. It works very nicely it you know how to hold the sheep. There is a' great knack in.ahearing the sheep. It isn't everybody that can do it successfully. The principal thing to do is to use the left hand back of the shears in pulling the skin of the sheep smooth and tight, then operate the machine with the right hand and you will push it al- ways on a smooth seduce. If you don't pull the skin smooth and tight, however; you will always have writ•• kles in front of thollcnife which will prevent you from doing a good job. There is no danger of getting the sheep sheared too close with 1 sheep shearing machine. What you want to do is to get all the wool off that you can. Sheep are sheared only once a year.

The longer the staple the better, .er.. .a r r p.' i . r Charcoal is not a food, and may not be, a panacea for all poultry ills, but it is a valuable aid to digestion, and a corrective of digestive, trou- bles, It is good for poultry of any age.

A.,well-balanced diet means proper 1'e'oportions of proteid, carbohydrates, fat, and mineral salts, The protein substances ineluda meats, eggs, fish, and a paction of the constituents of cereals. The carbo -hydrates are starch and sugar, the first of these being con- verted into the second,, both in plants and animals, before 11 is finally used as nutriment. The carbohydrates therefore in- clude all vegetables, for the product of every form of plant life is starch. The :fats may be animal, vegetable or mineral. Animal fat differs in quantity and consistency in different animals, vegetable fat like olive oil and peanut 011 is a product of nuts and seeds; mineral fat like petro- leum, is something for which the chemistry of the body 'has no great affinity, it passes through the body with very little change and acts main- ly as a lubricant and perhaps as stim- ulant to the intestinal muscle. The mineral salts have no food value, but aro very essential to the processes and tissues of the body. We require common salt or chloride of sodium, we also require the Min- eral salts which are in the husks of grain which are so often foolishly destroyed. Proteins are the tissue builders, our bodies are composed largely of pro- tein material and as this is constant- ly being wasted and worn out, we re- new it from the proteids we take in, and absorb. The carbohydrates and fats supply! us with heat and energy, enabling the body in health to maintain an oven temperature, and fat is stored up easter tite skin in varying quanti- ties as a reserve for the supply of heat. In sickness for example, it is roll ed upon and used up and we become thin in consequence. The mineral salts go to the blood and the tissues and are indispensable to their normal condition. The simplest form of diet for an adult in good health, working in the open air, would be approximately 14 ounces lean meat, 17 ounces bread, 3 ounces of butter, and 3 pints of wa- ter per day. This gives the proper proportions of protein, starch, fat, and mineral salts. The water and the bread we may leave as constants, there is nothing which is cheaper, nothing which is more essential, and we can live on bread and water; if it is good bread of whole wheat, rye or oats and goad water, we could live on it a long time without starving and ebo hard work. It would not be a pleasant diet, but a great many people get nothing else and perhaps are glad to get that. Butter at present prices de prohi- h btive to many, oleomargarine accom- plishes the same end at a third of tip cost, or fat may be supplied by vari- ous oibe, cotton -seed, , olive, peanut. Meat, at present prices, is also pro- hibitive in large families with small incomes. lybe:re the income is .sefficient tlto tendency with us is almost; invariably to eat much more than-- is necessary or desirable. Except for those whose work is se- vere, meat once a day should suffice.
