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,' mud thus the lungs, liver, kidneys,: 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 mal —American Dairyman. 1IME TO BUY STOCK. xortably as tn one where neatness gov erns, because the eye is offended end it worries him.

What a commotion there would be in some households if the sitting-room of the house was In such continual confu sion as the yard of the house. It pays to use the broom on the farm, and to use it often. Indeed, positive damage results from neglecting it. Dirt in the house breeds vermin, and rub bish on the farm may produce what is equivalent, literally or figuratively, let the broom cut its swath from the bouse and barn out into every nook and corner of the farm, for the sake of ap pearance. if for no other reason. A well-swept farm builds the farmer’s fame as a well-kept house adds to the reputation of the housekeeper.—Indus trialist. Saw Is tbs Tim* t* latredoe* New Blssf ta tbs Poultry Yard. , | Those of our readers who Intend to j begin the raising of thoroughbred j 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.— Indiana Fanner.

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 vrith that for general physical develop ment. It has been long noted in the gymna siums that those who train the most per sistently give ont the quickest The cause of it is that they develop the mus cles at the expense of the nervous strength. But there is a moderation in both which means better health and longer life, and to the majority of those who enter gymnasium work that is what Is sought rather than “record breaking” capabilities.—Boston Journal.

The only exception to this is where men cultivate so little land that they can and will manure it all heivily every year. Market gardening is about the only use that land can be put to and bear the expense of such method. —The best grain for sheep is oata.
