therefore, be seen that to supply food in
the right proportions to meet the require-
ments of the animal, without a waste of
food nutriments, constitutes scientific
feeding; hence the advantage of a know-
ledge of the composition of the common
feeding stuffs.
The percentage of protein, or nitrogen-
ous matter, in a food is invariably con-
sidered of prime importance because our
home grown crops are more likely to be
deficient in that than in any other com-
ponent. In selecting a food, therefore,
we should aim at obtaining the greatest
amount of protein for our money.
Pea meal, linseed meal, maize gluten
gluten feed, middlings, and wheat bran,
aro by-products which contain a large
quantity of protein and are, therefore,
most valuable components for a ration
intended for dairy cows. For fattening
pigs, good results have been obtained
from a mixture of skim milk and low
grade flour. Shorts is an excellent food

PURCHASE OF HORSES IN CAN-
ADA FOR THE IMPERIAL
ARMY.
A great deal of misunderstanding hav-
ing arisen concerning the objects of the
Imperial Government in sending officers
to this country to purchase horses, or
rather to see if horses suitable for the
British Army can be purchased, the
following short summary of the position
should prove of value. This statement
may be regarded as absolutely correct
and authoritative.
First and foremost, the demands of
the British Army in peace time can be
easily met within the four corners of
the United Kingdom. That demand is
not large, and ratty be taken as a normal
one of 2,500 horses annually, rising in
certain years to possibly 3,500 of all
kinds and classes.
There is an idea abroad, and certain
Ministers and statesmen in this country

WREN BABY SMILES.
When baby smiles mother knows he is
well and happy. When he is cross, ail-
ing and fretful, she gives him Baby's
Own Tablets, and finds that there's a
smile in every dose. These Tablets cure
all little ailments of childhood, such as
indigestion, colic,constipation, diarrhoea,
worms and simple fevers. They make
teething easy, and promote natural sleep
and repose, and are guaranteed not to
contain one particle of opiate or of pois-
onous soothing stuff. Mrs. Robt. Deaii,
Tisdale, N. W T., says: -"I find Baby's
tvii;Tablets a perfect medicine for lit-
tle ones, and always keep them in the
house." You can get the Tablets from
your medicine dealer or by mail at 25
feeds of like composition, if pure, furnish
nutritive material at economical prices.
The purchaser must, however, be on his
guard as feeds are frequeutly preseuted
for sale on our markets which are heavily
adulterated with foreign matter of little
value. Only to -day a sample of what
was supposed to be wheat bran was sent Calves, each ...
to our laboratory, w hioh, upon examina-
tion, was found to be adulterated with
large quantities of finely ground barley
grain. From the results of our investi-
gations, however, we are convinced that
goods obtained from the local manufac-
turers are usually of good qnality. In
some instances we have found the nutri-
tive materials, especially portein, present
in smaller quantities than we might
have expected, but in most cases this de-
ficiency was due, not to adulteration,
but to the poor quality of the grain from
which the by-product was obtained.
There are serious objections, however,
to some of our food stuffs which contain
a very large quantity of protein. Cotton
seed meal, for example, contains, on an
average, 42.75 per cent of protein, but
many of our best feeders do not consider
it a safe food to place in the hands of
hired men. Many cases of milk fever
and other diseases in dairy herds have
been attributed to indiscriminate use of
cotton seed meal. This food may, of
course be fed to advantage if care is ob.
served as to the amonut fed per day, the
age of the animal, etc. The addition of
cotton seed meal to a ration for calves or
pigs results in serious derangement of
the digestive organs of these animals.
Regarding mill feed, oat hulls, and
such low grade materials, little need be
said. The tables of composition show
them to be entirely unfit to feed as sub-
stitutes for pea meal, linseed cake, and
was one of the features. The short sup-
ply of steers has forced buyers to take
butcher's cows, and these have had a
big advance lately. To -day they were
very strong and several sales were made
at $4.50 per cwt.
Exporters -The demand for export
trade, which has been oue of the most
potent sustaining factors in the market
for some time past, was again in eyi.
deuce. Shippers were out iu force, and
trade was agaiu so keen that prices were
advanced further. The bulk of the of-
ferings sold at 85.50 to :,+5.75 per cwt.,
with sales of extra good steers at 8190
per cwt. One small bunch sold at 86 per
cwt., a new high record for the present
upward movement.
Stockers and feeders -A bullish, feel-
ing still pervades the farming communi-
ty, and commission men bad liberal
orders again for feeding cattle of good
quality. Short keep steers met, perhaps,
the best demand, selling up to 85.25 per
cwt. Stockers were strong and higher
for anythiug choice, but the inferior
grades were inclined to bo draggy.
Receipts were 93 cars, 1,340 cattle,
332 sheep and lambs, 650 hogs and 256
calves.
