Natural grass pastures provide the cheapest and best feed for all am - male, except horses that are expect- ed to do heavy or fast work, but an addition of oats, bran or even more concentrated feed will bring paying results in nearly all eases and most decidedly when big production of milk or quick fattening is desired. All cattle, from the calf to the steer ready for finishing, need forcing to keep up with the demand of the present day, Lambs may be satis- factorily finished on pasture if clover and raps are aide dto the natural grasses, but better speed can be made if a little grain is added to the ration, It is doubtful if any of the recent temperamentally ; , ,,� ' wed, not too closet : c g e e o e in " t b t officer ward is not to be : feed, ed closely, and finished on 1 ...:a ,::: it ought to be in rehear- falnirdne• Dorcas was different, Some- i doubted." , ±good bard ger, so far :as memory serves us e , t present prices e5 tarries he fancied it might be caused So wrote a correspondent of the "for hogs, a great deal of wheat can be bi:ayee, seg *e:;tesl o - by her seclusion from the world dur- London Times who recently shared ar :fed to advantage in the pro duction of Th heremembered •9 •, ."� t,;.7.7, �me+, edwit, e r, is merry ing-girlhood. en remein sere a to do.

"Mr. Oswald said yesterday he was in the Catskills, ready to come on at a moment's notice." "I wish bo God he were!" cried Wentworth desperately. "Why don't you tell Mr. Oswald the truth ?" "Dorcas, you're a child. You don't understand that I am up against a harder proposition ishan I can meet." "It seems to me, Enoch," said the girl slowly, "if yOtl had not—" She did not finish the sentence. She had turned her eyes away from her brother and stared at the multitude or craft in the bay, jostling each other as vehicles do on Broadway. "Had not what?" he insisted. She met his eyes calmly and they wavered before her own, "I mean if you had not made a false start -if you had gone into this honestly— everything would have come out hap- pily." Wentworth did not answer.

Points in Cattle Feeding At the end of the ` third year of fattening steers in the open air , at Lacombe, •Alberta, Mr. Hutton, the superintendent, draws the following deductions: 1. Three-year-old steers seem bet- ter adapted to straight wheat feeding than are two-year-old 'steers. 2. From the results of the thred - years' work; it is evident that low' grade grains may be made to bring the producer a higher price per bushel - sold through ethers .than will high-' grade grains sold through the eleva•' torsi.. 3. Hay, green feed and straw amy. be profitably fed at heme, 4. From experimental work conduct= ed with grain plots at this station, a' valuation of the manure produced through feeding cattle at $1 per ton. applied is warranted. The fertile soil of our Western prairies will not retain its fertility indefinitely without. ,return of at leash a portion of the constituents drawn fro mit in the pro- duction of crops, 5. It is not necessary to provide an' extravagant equipment in order to be able to undertake the satisfactory' feeding of steers for the production of beef in this climate. G. hankers consider the lending of money for the purpose of feeding cat- tle a safe loan. 3. 7. From the figures submitted it would appear wise for the breeder to be e. feeder also and market his pro,. duct in finished condition, Requirements of a Geed, Animal. An animal is like a machine, A good machine requires that each part be of good material and just the right weight and strength, The good ani- mal must have its parts developed in the right proportion to make the type desired. The adaptability of a rna- chine and. the proportioning of it;i parts can largely be determined by looking at it, however, the make of the machine is the guarantee as to it%. possessing or lacking quality. Like,. wise in the animal a good deal can be determined as to its type by looking at it. Its real quality, however, can not be determined in this way. To get at this it becomes necessary to go further back, The quality was put into the ,animal by its parents, ibi grandparents, its greatgrandparents, etc, This makes it important to • know that all these parents hail qual- ities that would contribute to the malting of a good animal of the type wanted. A predigree is a scheme for keeping track of th eparents of an ani- mal. lb is a guarantee of what is back of thb animal, of what has con- tributed to its make up. It is. this fact that makes the pure-bred ani- mal valuable.—North Dakota Eperi- reeat Station. Windbreaks Pay Dividends Windbreaks are usually more or less ornamental on a farm, and add to the contentment of the owner. Bub it is not generally known that ti ' vinaoreans actually pay dividends. It must he, admitted that windbreaks occupy !space that could be profitably devoted to agricultural crops, and that the, roots of the trees and their shade render a strip of ground on either side of the windbreak relatively un- productive. Yet in spite of these drawbacks, efficient windbreaks do more good than• evil, The windbreak reduces the velocity of the wind, and, consequently, the loss of soil water from evaporation from the soil surface and from the field crops. This is equivalent to ad- ditional rainfall, just at "a dollar sav- ed. is a dollar made." It seems that the greater yield of field crops and ap- ples behind the protection of a good windbreak is enough to warrant every farmer in planting windbreaks.—W. J. Morrill, in Farm and Dairy.

A politician who was seeking the votes of a certain community thought it worth while to make mention of his humble origin and early struggles, "I got a start in life by serving in a grocery store at $3 a week, and yet I have managed to save," he announc- ed.
