Economy in Feeding Stock.
To raise anti gather sufficient food to
keep a number of cows, sheep or horses,
through four or six months of winter,
require no small amount of labor and
money, and our farmers have to make
close calculations in this matter, or find
the balance on the wrong side of the
ledger. When the country was new
and the land rich enough to produce
bountiful without the application of ma
nures, the kinds of food costing the
least labor wert preferred ; consequent
ly good hay and grain answered every
purpose, practising anything else was
seldom thought of by the well-to-do j
farmer. But of li.te years, hay, straw,
and oats,have become cash articles, even
far back in the country, and hundreds
of miles from our larger cities, and this
change of circumstances n Rurally leads
the farmer to count more closely the
cost of keeping his stock." If a cow
will consume two tons of hay during
the winter and this is worth twenty
dollars per ton, it does not require much
figuring t> arrive at a definite conclu
sion in regard to what may be expected
in the way of profits. Of course it
would not be economy for the farmer to
sell all his richest and best fodder, and
then endeavor to keep his stock through
winter od the poorest.
Still,by tne application of an increas
ed amount of labor in preparing a sec
ond-rate article, its value for food may
frequently be largely iocrea ed. It is
here that economy may be practised,
and it is, to a considerable extent by our
most thorough and thriving farmers.—
Hay at twenty to thirty dollars per ton
is very dear food, but it is so convens
lent for handling or feeding out that
the owners of stock dislike to dispense
it, even it does cost more than they

But farmers who resm* ne ar Pri
markets may turn many a penny to tiu?
profit side of their farm accounts, by
disposing of their most saleable and
reliable handled produce, and then
using those of an opposite character for
their own stock. The coarser kinds of
forage plants will answer as well as the
finer if artificially prepared, by cutting
up and steaming, adding meal, shorts or
bran, and giving roots at the same time.
Hungarian grass, grass, millet, corn
sta’ks, and strajv become first-rate food
for stock when properly prepared by
cooking or steaming We know that
there is much prejudice existing among
farmers in regarnd to grinding, cutting,
and steaming food for their stock, but
we believe it is mainly in consequence
of the extra labor required, and not
from any reason to apprehend any inju
ry to the animal. Coarse food made
palatable and easy to digest by such
process as we have named is not likely
to be injurious, even if it is in a
slightly unnatural condition. The
experiments of our most scientific
agriculturists show that it is economy to
make the animals a s digesti
ble as possible, without destroying its
nutritive proprieties, and farming is
carried to its greatest perfection, and is
most profitable, when these processes are
most in vogue.
Our farmers must learn to practise
economy by saving, not wasting, the
eoarser kinds of farm produce which
have to a great extent been considered
of little or no value. More root crops
slnuld be grown, and the straw stack
utilized instead £of being left to rot
down for manure, as is still done over
a large extent of country. Let the
steam boiler be set up anti be more ex
tensively used for preparing food for
stock, and better results will surely fol
low, especially in the older States, where
all kinds of farm produce command good
prices. Few farmers seem to know
how little food keep an animal healthy
and in good flesh, if that little is putin
the condition to he all appropriated
to the animal’s use, and not pass off
undigested —New York Weekly Sun.
Relative Value of Ci’ii and
llogs.
Farmers may see, from the following
calculation, whether they had better
sell corn or feed it to pigs:
From carefully conducted epxeriments
by. different persons, it has been ascer
tained that one bushel of corn will make
a little over Ijo£ pouns of pork, gross.-
Taking the result as a basis, the follow
ing deductions are-made :
W hen corn costs 12J cents per bush
el* pork costs 11 por pound.
When corn costs 17 cents per bushel,
pork costs 2 cents per pound.
When corn costs 25 cents p'fer bushel,
pork costs 3 cents per pound.
When corn costs 33 cents per bushel,
pork costs 4 cents per pound.
When corn costs do cents per bushel,
pork costs 5 cents por pound.
The following statements show what
the lurmer realizes on his corn when in
the form of pork
When pork sells for 3 cents per
pouud, ic brings 25 cents per bushel in
corn.
When pork sells for 3 cents “per
pound, it brings 25 cents per bushel in
corn.
When pork sells for 4 cents per
pound, it brings 33 cents per bushel in
corn.
When pork sell for 5 cents per pound,
u brings 45 cents per bushel in corn
