Grass Is the Natural Feed of Cattle. —Make Winter Feed as Much Like It as Possible..— Ration for Laying Hems Which Has Brought Results at the 0. A. College. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agrieuitu -e, Toronto.) THE whole question of winter care of dairy cattle may be summed up In one word— comfort, In order to obtain this, the cattle require a comfortable, clean, well -ventilated, well -righted stable. The stalls, where animals are tied, should be of proper width and length to accommodate them without discomfort; and also be so con- structed as to keep them clean with- out too much labor on the part of the person in charge. Plenty of bed- ding is needed, and an absoraent such as cut straw, shavings or saw- rinst, to take up the ligni is which cause so much dirt and discomfort to both animals and attendants. A eerneet gutter behind the animals hav'ngthe required amount of ab- sorbing material placed in it , Jelly, after cleaning the +,table, Is the best plan of keeping stable and cattle clean. If there he some shavings, sawdust or fine straw scattered along the passage behind the cows, it as- sists in cleanliness and lessens labor. Feeding. The natural feed of cows is grass. The feeder of cows never goes far astray if the winter ration is made, so far as possible, similar to that of grass. This is got by using silage and roots, mixed with the dry, bulky fodders, like straw and clover hay. The !nixing may be done by the feed- er, if he has time to do so; or, it may be done by the cow before and after eating. The cow carries a won- derful mixing apparatus in her stom- ach, and so far as this part of feed- ing is concerned, she can do the necessary work of mixing feeds. Mix- ing ixing before feed is given to the cow, often adds to its palatability and hence usually pays. In addition to the succulent and dry bulky feeds mentioned, a cow giving milk requires a certain amount of concentrated feed in the form of meals, such a ground oats, oats and barley, wheat bran,' oil -cake, or cottonseed meal. Standard Dairy Feed fills the bill excellently in this regard. Watering Cows. Next in importance to feed, comes water for milking cows. When cows are producing large quantities of milk they must have large quanti- ties or water. This may be suppiied in the stable, or in a trough outside. In fine weather, animals are better for being a short time outside in the fresh air daily, and they can oe con- veniently watered at that time. In very cold or stormy weather, they should be watered inside. Comfort, cleanliness, succulent feed, along with a reasonable amount of concentrates, and plenty of water and fresh, pure air, are the main things required by animals giving milk in winter.—Prof. H. H. Dean, Q. A. College, Guelph. Feeding Laying Flens In Winter. In order to lay well a hen requires a surplus of food above body main- tenance. That is a hen must be in good flesh, not thin. A good laying hen is seldom very fat.,_ The yolk of an egg contains considerable fat. The white is mostly muscle forming food and the shell largely lime. There must be a supply of these over and above what is required to daily main- tain the body. In summer a hen eats tender grass or green shoots, some. whole grain, generally some ground grains, usual- ly worms or insects, picks up some gravel or old plaster, and in doing so takes exercise. if she has to hunt all day for these, at times she does not lay very well because she is working hard getting something to eat. We are feeding now, at the 0. A. College a grain mixture of about the following: Seven parts of cracked corn, two parts of barley, two parts of good oats, one part buckwheat, and three parts of feed wheat. This is fed in deep litter night and morn- ing, the hens going to bed with a full crop. During cold weather it is advisable to feed a mixture of nearly half corn or buckwheat, A hen will do a little better on such feed. A mixture of two or three kihds of grain gives variety. At noon, cooked waste house scraps, such as potatoes, cabbage or other vegetable trimming, together with the table scraps, make a good foundation for a wet mash. These scraps are best fed in a crumbly state. Dry them or with whatever chop you may have, A mixture of shorts, barley meal, and oat chop in equal parts, is very good. We use a dry leash which is fed in hoppers, This is in front of the birds at all times, We are using Government -These grounu grains should .con- tain fifteen to twenty per cent. of high ,grade tankage or beet scrap. Where milk is elven as drink no meat scrap would be necessary. Be sure to supply green acid Sue oulent feeds, such es w tt..t.e cabbage, roots, clover leaves, or sprouted oats, There is an art to feeuil,g. When reeding the whole grain night and morning watch the birds scratch.

ACETYLENE Mr PAYS It Give3 Sate and Effcient Ser - Vice at Reason foie Cost. To Ensure Strong and Healthy Pottle. Pregnant Mares Must Be Given Exercise, Be Properly teed and Have Careful Stable Attendance. (Contributed by Ontario itep%irtment nt Agriculture, Toronto.) CETYLENE lighting is not by any means a new thing in this country as there are homes here and there in vil- lage and countryside in which this system of lightning has been in use for many years. Many improvement: have been made in the mechanism ut the plant., so that now this system is considered to be absointely sat and reliahle it it receives reasonable care and attention. The :met, of course is rather more since the war, but, even at the present price it is an in- vestment that will return high divi- dends, probably not always direct') in dollars and cents, but in bettet. health, more comfort, less labor and genuine satisfaction for those living. in the home, because acetylene gas in burning produces less heat, consumed less oxygen and forms less carbon dioxide than kerosene, for example, and makes a far more brilliant light than even electricity, and it is easier on the eyes. • It may also be used for cooking in the house and 11 is also well adapted for street light- ing of villages and small towns. The acetylene lighting plant con- sists of a gas generator, gas service piping, and gas jets or chandeliers.. The generators vary in size accord- ing to amount of gas required, one for the home being, of course, nlua smaller than that required for a large institution or village. The chief parts of the generator are: Water chamber, carbide holder, gas holder, gas filter, gas washer, gas intake pipe, feed pipe, safety vent, sludge agitator and automatic carbide feeder device. The generator for a home requires only a few square feet of space, as it is very compactly con- structed. It is usually placed in the basement, and it is very important that it be kept safe from frost. The operation of the plant is as follows: The chemical substance used for making the gas is calcium car- bide, the same material that is used in bicycle lamps, for instance. Auto- matically this chemical is fed into the water chamber as fast as the gas is used in Iights. In contact with the water it forms a gas known as ace tylene gas, which collects in the gas holder from which is passes through small iron pipes to the lights. In the most modern plants no gas can pos- sibly be generated except as it is re- quired, hence there is no chance, as was true of earlier types of plants, for the gas to accumulate under pres- sure in the plant and leak out, and become ignited by a raw fame, re- sulting in an explosion. The auto- matic feed should be examined occa- sionally and every care taken to keep it in first-class working order. The directions that come with the plant should be followed accurately and religiously. The writer knows of sev- eral plants owned by farmers for many years, and in all cases under proper care the results have been very satisfactory. What does it cost? This question can be an- swered very generally as costs vary with size of plant, etc. In gen- eral 1 would say the initial cost would be about $200, including gen- erator, pipes, chandeliers and the work of installation for the average - sized farm home, The carbide for a year will cost in the neighborhood of $12 to $15. Detailed information regarding installation, etc„ will be answered upon request by the 'writer. --R. R. Graham, B.S.A., O. A. Col- lege, Guelph. Winter Care of Pregnant Mares. Those who have had experience in horse breeding have noticed that a considerable percentage of the spring colts, especially those born before the mares are on pasture, are weakly, often not able to stand, and some- times without sufficient ambition to nurse when held up and the teat in- troduced into the mouth. It will also be observed that foals of this de- scription are usually those of darts that have been pampered during the winter Months --those that have been well fed, and kept in the stable most of the time without exercise. 'The pregnant mare should be well fed and given regular exercise or light work. The idea that she should ' Standard Hog feed.
