When feeding a. full ration to animals (say for the product-ion of milk) under summer conditions of temperature and not 'too much exer- cise being given, requires about one part of protein to 55 parts of the carbohydrwtes. But here the good judgment of the feeder is required IIf the stables are cold or only a main- tenance ration being fed, the carbo- hydrates must -be increased. It has been ascertained by experiments that at times it requires as much as 11 [parts of the carbohydrates , to 1 o! protein. This will Show the folly of feeding in cold quarters, or only en~ ough feed to maintain the ’nimal without making bodily gain or pro- ducing milk. That feed has been wasted or burned up in the body of the animal without. amy~profit to the feeder, the same as wood or coal would be in an engine boiler to keep the water warm without producing steam. Fart (ether extract) is an impurc‘ product and includes, vbesides real fat or oils such as linseed or cotton- seed oils, wax and the green coloring matter of plan-ts. The {at of the food is si'ther stored up by the animal or burned «as fuel to furnish heat and energy. The heat or energy which a. pound of fat will supply through com- bustion is equal to what would come from the burning of 2% pounds 0! su- gar or starch. You will observe- by the tables that new milk contains about 13 pounds of solids, and that there is a. higher percentage of protein- in the solids than any other natéml food repre- sented on the chant. It therefore fol- lows that the Wt food stufl's am those that contain large quantities or protein, such as the clovers, Ulue grass, lucerne, peas, oats, wheat Eran and shorts, linseed meal end cotton- seed meal, but the that food of all is grass, the natural grasses and clovprsa Grass is the natural food on the cow, being very palatable and succulent. She consumes a. large amount of it, and being succulent, it is very easily digested. Better re- sults are obtained from the grass Digest'i'bla C‘amlxrhydnatcs (nitrogen --free extracty includes starch, sugar, gums and forms the largest part of avll feeding stufTs, but especially of the grains. They are either convert- ed by the animal into {at or burned in the body to produce heat and en- ergy. 1-: flni'hcns. â€" Ash is what is left when the combustible part of red stull‘ is burned away.

Protein (or nitrOgenous maiterials) is the name of a. collection of com pounds, containing nitrogen. Pro: tei‘n furnishes the materiavl for thé lean flesh, blood, skin, muscles, ten- dons. nerves, hair, horns, W001, the casein 04' milk and the white of eggs, and is one of the most important Constituents of feeding stuil‘s. consumemhan other feed stuff or com;- binaticn of food stuffs. Although peas, oil, meal and bran cgntain a higher percentage of the milk pro- ducing elements then the grass, they lack ‘the succulenCy, and the cow is compelled to put more energy into the digesting of the dry feed stuns,â€" and that energy is to be supplied LOCAL STOCK JUDGING CLAUSE A FEATURE. W. A. Munro, for example, who is stationed at Morristlurg, has organ- ized a number of stock' judging de- monstrations in different parts of the county of Du-ndas, one day, being giv- en to one subject in one locality, and another day to another subfiect some- where else. From twenty to one hundred and fifty farmers attended 'these stock judging dernonstrations. The room in which Mr. Munro has es- tablished his ofllce in Morrisburg has also become a business centre for farmers in the locality. This room is becoming an agTiCultuml museum, filled with specimens of different; weed and insect enemies, and these are made a subject of examination by farmers in the neighborhood for the purposa of learning the nature and treatment of the pests with which they are confronted. There are also in the room two large reading tables on which bulletins and other reading matter dealing with practical farm topics are always available. In ad- dition to this, the old fair ground in Morrisburg. consisting of four- teen acres, has been set aside for the purpose of giving. demonstrations in the growing of diflerent varieties of crops under different systems of treatment. INTERESTING TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. R. E. Mortimer, who is stationed at Collinngood, gives four half days in each week to a small class in the collegiate on agriculture. In additiOn to this he has awarded public school teachers’ institutes fo'r the purp08e of «interesting those in attendance in the teaching of agriculture in the public schools. He has also attend- ed a number of farmers' meetings at which difficulties connected with ap- ple growing have formed1 one of the principal subjects of consideration. Mr. Mortimer has an acre plot a debt of obligation to the side of the Atlantic or the other has done more of true public service than the Montreal Witness.

The following Will make a good ra- Bearing directly along this same general line were .the reports made by the half dozen agricultural specialists who have during the course of this year been attached to the stafls of six collegiate institutes located in drifi‘erent parts of the Province. The original idea. when these appoint- ments were made was that these spe- cialists, ‘who are all graduates oi the‘0.A.C., should become part of the teaching staffs of the collegiates ‘to which they are attached, and that ‘their principal work would be in es- tablishing departments of agriculture for the benefit of students at such collegiates. Incidentally it was in- tended .that the specialists should have public omoes in the towns in which they are stationed, to which farmers from the neighborhood might go for the purpose of receiving time» 1y bulletins, information as to weed and insect enemies, etc., and that the men in charge of these offices should also attend fermers' meetings in the neighborhood in which they are located. What was believed at the beginning to be the principal part of the work is proving a very minor part. Only in one case has a department of agriculture been made a really effective part of the colleg- iati- institute work. On the other hand, the scheme of establishing cf- fices which will contain local agri- cultural museuns and be distribution centers for information has prov-2.! the main feature, with local meeting-.4 sarong farmers second in Joint of importance.

Yet this is actually what was accomplished on Clear Lake above Young' . Paint the other day, by Mr. 1‘. J. Yum; and some of his friends who went skating up the lake. Two wild ducks of the whistle- wing variety were seen by Mr. Young sitting in the water which covered over the surface of the ice. Guns were not necessary as the birds were _ un- able to rise 0! the ice, and the young men easily skated up and took them motives. The whistlewings were taken in charge, but on the road home were presented to a farmer who resides near the Point. - Many of the older stables to be found in the Eastern and Middle States, says an exchange, have the rigid stanchions, and some modern ones have them also. These are by no means as comfortable as another style of fastening, and about the only-excuse I ever heard for their presence was that they permit of placing a greater number of animals on the same floor space. on to change the circulation, but that is not all that is wanted. In an old stable it would not pay to put in an expensive system, but a simple flue for a. small stable could be easi- ly made, and something of the kind is imperative.
