Caution should be exercised in pas turfing red clover after its growth ht become cheeped by frost. Beoaus many farmers have given their horse and cattle free range' of clover fields after hard frosts in the fall without injury it is difficult to convince them that it is dangerous to utilize this tempting feed. There are many pro - dent farmers, however, who, knowing pasturing the danger of a turing est c fr el clover will not .permit horses, cattle or sheep to graze on it, If they do trot fear injury to the animals they have learned from' observation and ex- perience that there is no surer means of injuring a good stand of clover than to allow stock to graze and trample it down. Even though the frosted clover does not quickly injure the animals that graze on it there is such certainty of injury to the clover plants that it is poor economy to le the stand become injured in the effor to find nourishment from feed of doubtful value. The extent of injury and time re- quired for it to .become known is sure to vary with the condition of,the.ani- mals given access to the frosted crop. The stock may 'nave a regular ration of roughage and grain at the barn and no visible derangement of 'the stomach or bowels result, but this proves nothing as to the value of the frosted clover, It merely proves that under certain conditions it is not deadly, and may be used with im- punity. But when animals have no other feed than frozen clover we have conditions that will be followed by de- rangement of digestion, which may be evident from forms of colic and acute indigestion, followed in duo course by scours, constipation or severe inflam- mation of the bowels. Science has been unable to explain just how frost affects the digestibility of clover plants. ' But we do know that when frost gets in its work, the aroma, the juices and the gums change and even- tually disappear, leaving only the skeleton or woody fibre. There is a rapid passing of the plant from its perfected growth back to earth and atmosphere, where it originally came The feeding value of the plant- de- clines rapidly as these nutritive juices and guns change or are dissipated. The clover plant in full maturity not only contains the largest per cent. of nutrients, but et contains them in the form and quantity best -suited to the requirements of. the animal's diges- tive system, All departures from this perfection of feeding value tends to depreciation until it arrives at a point of decomposition, when it no longer _ fit for food. The freezing of an is immature, succulent plant throws the e juices to the surface and as they carry s of the gusts and sugars, they are soon weehed orf or change into corn - pounds so as to leave the plant re- duced in palatability and digea'tibility. It is poor economy .to make horses, cattle and sheep try to digest plants that carry so little nutritive value, es- pecially when his effort at economy is sine to result in injury to the sue- eeeding crop of clover, and probable injury O., the animals, • The Care and Preparation of the Farm Buildings for the Housing of Live Stock for the Winter Montlie- This is the season of the ,year when every, farmer should be considering the putting of his farm buildings in t the best shape possible for the. winter t housing of his live stock, that is (1) in regard to cleanliness, (2) light, (3) ventilation and (4) warmth, First—Tine fanner should see that all dirt and cobwebs that may have i accumulated through the summer are I swept deem -and a good coat of white- wash applied with a certain amount of disinfectant, such as is used on all farms, added to the white -wash, in order to eliminate as much as pos- rsible any dilsease which may be pre- sent. Second—See that there are as many windows as possible in your buildings and that the glass is tight in all of them, for there is no better preventive of disease than plenty of light: If it is is not possible to have double windows. for all your stables be sure to use what you have on windows on the north •side in order to conserve heat. Third—Ventilation is one of the most important things in live stock industry, and unfortunately, one that there is not enough stress laid upon, for without proper ventilation, it is practically impossible to get the gorier, healthy development and benefit from reed consumed tbrit we should have in our live stock. Fourth—It is also very important to see that all boarding is.tightlynail- ed down and all cracks closed in order to keep as uniform a temperature as possible and prevent drafts which are very detrimental to our live stock at certain times. The Experimental Farm system is pleased at all times to forward bul- lethts of farm buildings, ventilation, etc„ also answer questions and help prepare plans of such buildings as may be required on, your farms. - Treatment For Fall Colds. 1. Clean dry, comfortable quarters should be provided, free from drafts 2. Disinfect house with a five per cent. solution of formalin or _some good coal tar product. 3. Wash heads of the affected birds with two per cent. solution of potas- sium permanganate and also put en- ough in the drinking water to give it €t deep claret wine color. (Fetes- sinpermanganate can be secured from any druggist. An ounce or two will probably he sufficient). For. drinking purposes use about what can be placed on a five -cent piece to a gallon of water. Remove all other sources of water supply, 4. Feed plenty of good wholesome grains Val a plash (wet) of bran mid- dlings, corn meal and meat sews, us- ing about a teaspoonful of mustard to each twelve chicks. The mustard has a stimulating effect, and also acts as an appetizer. Where silos are carefully filled, so that all air is excluded, there will be Iittle trouble or loss from mould.

Ne- i lural storage is the least troublesome _ way of keeping food for future use, it e is pointed out, and may be practiced i with little expense in most homes, either in the country or in the city. _ Such storage is of chief value to owners of home gardens, but when s vegetables suitable for storage may be purchased cheaply, it may be pree- n t'iced profitably by some other house- holdes . The principal vegetables which may be stored successfully are the root, tuber, and bulb crops, such as late maturing potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, salsify, onions, ate, Certain leaf and stalk crops such as cabbage and celery, and a few other products, such as squashes, pumpkins, etc„ also may be stored naturally. If the cellar under a dwelling or out -building is clean, cool,. and well - ventilated it may be used for storage without alteration, Many cellars, however, arm not well suited for store ing vegetables because of poor insula- tion tion m' lack of ventilation, and those containing a furnace for :heating usu- ally are too warm and dry, It is of- ' ten possible to partition off a room, either in one corner or at one end of such a cellar, where the temperature' "a cd bymetals be controlled cansof out- Ut ' v side windows.

This method does not compare in convenience, hoav- ever, with storage in cellars since in periods of bad weather the vegetables are often accessible with difficulty, The construction of batiks is begun by making an excavation sox or eight inches deep int at well -drained location and lining it With straw, leaves, or similar . material, The vegetables (usually root crops) are pieced on the litter in a conical pile. The sides and top are then covered with straw and leaves and this, with two or three inches of earth,,.. As winter ap- proaches the earth covering should be increased, depending' on the severity of the winter in the locality. Small pits containing but a few bushels of vegetables will receive sufficient venti- lation if the straw between the vege- tables and the earth covering is allow- ed to extend through the latter to the top of the pile. This exposed straw should be covered with at board or tt piece of tin held in place by a stone (as a protection from rain. In larger pits ventilation may be secured by bfleeing two or three pieces of rough oards er stakes up through the centre of the pile of vegetables so that a fine n is formed, This flue should be capped by an inverted trough formed by two pieces of board nailed to-. etheat -` g tr right angles.
