food should be supplied th* wll from
the first, and even while It I* with the

dam and by It* mouth. Reg inning in a
'email waj the ability to digest food is
aulUvated and increased, and its first
growth is the fonadation on which
aftergrowth^* built And as that la* the
better, so this is. The stronger and
broader the foundation, the same will
he the superstructure. And so long as
digestion is perfect, the quantity of
food given may be measured only by
that test. Cora is. not a good food for
growing animals. Flesh is more
nsedsd than fat The F.nglish
fanners use beans ami oata
ground together ae the staple
horse feed, and the value of it Is per
ceived when the composition of this
food is understood. The English horse
been has per cent of flesh-forming
•laments—protein, a* it is called—ia it
and only 1J< percent of fat and oata
have la per cent of the former and •
per cent of the latter. Thus two meas
ures of oats and one of beans have49>f
per cent of the protien and 1JJ{ of fat,;
a ratio of S’V of the flesh-forming ele-,
ments and 1 of the fat-forming. This
affords materials for the abundant
growth of the muscle so necessary to
the future value of the young animaLi
But it does more. All the great vital
organs are made up of muscular tissue,'

Keen, and other fibrous tissues uremoni
highly developed, and it is upon this
dsve'opment that the constitution, th*
future strength of the animal, depends.
With corn as the principle food, this
hsathful structure is not possible.
There is too much fat and starch and,
net enough nitrogen. The muscles arq
soft and weak, and the vital organs;
upon which the work or product after
ward# depend, are not strong enough
to stand the wear, and the constitution
gives way at an early age. This applies
at much to calves aa to colts. While
the horse expends its force in motion,
the cow does this in making mQk.
Roth these product* require a large ex
penditure of nitrogen, and a highly
nitrogenous food and th# ability to
digest and assimilate it are needed; and
this disposal of food i* only possible
when the vital ofgans are well deveL
oped. This development is only ef
fected by the use of suitable food liber
ally provided from the birth of the ani

Vslse mf Sheep os tbs Farm.
There is a more general belief In th*
value of sheep on the farm than at any
former period in the whole history of
our agriculture. A reason for this, per
haps, lies in the fact that the agricul
tural press has long been almost a unit
Is urging fanners to consider this
branch of the stock business. The
salt has been that during the past year
our flocks have been increased by 1,500,-
MO bead and our wool product by io,-
•00,000 pounds This Is a move m the
right direction, and we hope the near
future will show a still greater increase.
We think it would be hard to find
any farmer who has got intelligently
Into the sheep business, keeping good
stock and giving good care, whose
profits from his year’s work have not
been considerably augmented by their
aid. If any of our readers are still
little doubtful upon the sheep ques
tion, we suggest that they observe the
men who have been trying it. Are
they going out of business, or are they
making arrangements for laTger flocks
and for still better care? Within the
past thirty years th* wool production
of the Unired States very nearly
trebled, yet we conld double it again
without more than meeting the re
quirements of our own consumption.—

Physical Culture and Long Life.
According to a leading medical jour
nal, ont of 5,000 soldiers who were ex
amined recently by a surgeon nearly 00
per cent, were found to be suffering
from heart trouble as the result of forced
exertion. This leads that journal to the
conclusion that athletic sports are not
conducive to longevity, and it points as
a proof to France, where there is no
craze for muscular development, and
where one finds more people over the
age of sixty than in England, with its
Tag® for physical culture, it would
seem, however, that the distinguished
editor of the journal in question con
founded the rage for “display” athletics

It has been long noted in the gymna

sistently give ont the quickest The
cause of it is that they develop the mus

Ths Most Remarkable Latin Sentence.
The Latin sentence. “Satorarepo tenet
opera rotas,” which is, it must be ad

nevertheless. It can be freely be trans
lated as “l cease from my work: the
sower will wear away his wheels.” Its
fine oddities are these:

—Alternating hoed crops with grass,
clover and cattle is a necessity for
farmers who seek for permanent suc
