Balanced Rations for Man and

Two Farmers' Bulletins of the De
partment of agriculture, widely dis
similar In contents, yet treating of sub
jects which have a closely-connected
relationship are tho Feeding of Farm
Animals and the Principles of bread
Making, and both of them have proven
so popular that their reprinting has
been required several times.
The feeding of the animals on the
farm Is a matter which every farmer
is studying more or less closely, uo
more successful ones the mist closely,
since It Is a matter of constant experi
ment and Inquiry to determine Just
what Is the bust ration for work, meat
and dalty animals. While each man's
experience most be to a great extent

results of wide experiments, which of-

he expects to be somewhere else In
twenty years, if he has not bettered I
his condition and gotten out of 1^ In

pass more quickly than is expected,
nnd what docs tho place look, like
then? It has had perhaps three coats
of paint The second set of shingles

the house itself is worth one-half of
Its value when now.
' Yet it must bo agreed that every
man should build a bouse with tho
idea ot making it Ills permanent
home, adding to it ns his needs grow,
but continually improving it nnd
beautifying It If for no other cause
.than increasing its selling value, he
should build well and Improve. And
this applies to tho surrounding
grounds, the outbuildings, etc., fully
as much ns tho home proper.

wldo difference, between an nbodb or

Trying to treat this matter from a I
practical standpoint, the Department I

containing about jjne-fortlcth of an

their lives and knew nothing of the
wonders of plant nnd animal produc

to -JSO their ground. They planted
radishes and lettuce nnd some flow-
