Because it furnishes the food elements that eggs 
are made of in such a form that the production 
of eggs will not be made at the expense of the 
hen’s vitality; and this is 
Because it also furnishes strength and health-sus¬ 
taining food for the hen herself. 
Animal iVlEAL is a dean, sweet, and wholesome com¬ 
bination of thoroughly cooked meat and bone, 
dried and finely ground, easily and quickly di¬ 
gested. It is 
Cheaper than Scraps, that is, more economical, be¬ 
cause it is more concentrated; it contains more 
real food to the pound by at least twenty-five 
per cent. It is

WE WANT TO KNOW. YOU KNOW! 
IF YOU don’t see what YOU WANT, ASK FOR IT ! 
Apple Seeds. —When should they be planted, 
'spring or fall ? .i. t. o. 
Meshoppen, Pa. 
Ans. —In the fall, in broad drills. 
Dangerous Dynamite,— Does dynamite become 
dangerous after being manufactured for some 
time ? Might not the highly explosive glycerine 
ooze to the outside of the stick and cause danger? 
White Hall, Va. .i. w. b. 
ANS. —Dynamite is dangerous at any time, for 
people who do not use caution, to handle. Whether 
it grows more so, we do not know. What say the 
experts ? 
Portland Cement Floors. —What would be the 
cost per square yard of a Portland cement floor ? 
How should it be made for a cow stable, or a hog 
house ? D. B. B. 
Dormansville, N. Y. 
Ans. —^The cost depends upon the price of cement, 
which varies in different places, the cost of labor, 
etc. It is difficult to estim.ate without knowing 
these. Rosendale cement is usually used for the 
first course, and Portland for the finishing coat. 
See answer to O. W. A., page 793. 
Canada Hay. —Does Canada furnish New York 
and Brooklyn more than one-half the hay that is 
consumed in those cities ? w. e. p. 
Eden, N, Y. 
Ans. —No. Much of the Canada hay that comes 
to New York is not for consumption here, but is 
in bond for shipment to England. Experienced 
dealers say that probably not more than 15 per 
cent of the hay used here comes from Canada. 
Canada hay, too, has rather a bad reputation. 
Much of it that has been exported has been found 
to be of quality far inferior to its grade, as deal¬ 
ers who have handled it have discovered to their 
loss. One dealer remarked that it seems that they 
have rain up there occasionally in haying time 
which seems to wet the inside of the bales. At any 
rate, there is where the poor hay is found mostly. 
Tobacco, Onions, Cabbages, Sweet Potatoes. —1. 
What would be the best kind of tobacco for me to 
grow in 43 north latitude for smoking? Could The 
R. N.-Y. give me some hints on curing? Where 
could the seed be obtained? 2. What would be 
the best kinds of cabbage and onions for me to 
grow? I will have to ship 100 miles. Where can 
I get the seed? 3. How do sweet potatoes grow ? 
Could I buy seed and grow the plants myself ? 
Newark, Ont. t. c. h. 
Ans. —1.—Primus, Zimmer’s Spanish are the 
earliest varieties, and w-ould be best suited to 
your locality. We will try to give some hints in 
season. Seed may be obtained of most seedsmen. 
2. For early. Early Jersey Wakefield, Express ; 
for intermediate, Fottler, All Seasons, Early Deep 
Head, Warren; for late. Flat Dutch, are all good 
varieties. Some of the Savoys are also excellent. 
Seeds may be obtained of any seedsman advertis¬ 
ing in The R. N.-Y. 3. The plants are started in 
a hot-bed, and transpianted into the open ground 
where they grow much like other potatoes. If you 
have the proper facilities you might perhaps 
grow them, but you would be more likely to get 
good plants by purchasing of those who make a 
business of growing them. 
Ringbone on a Mare.— What does The R. N.-Y.’s 
veterinarian recommend as a cure for ringbone 
in a young mare ? There is no competent veter¬ 
inarian near. If firing is recommended, how is it 
done ? Can it be cured by other means than 
firing, and how ? r. h. h. 
Ans. —No one but a competent veterinarian 
should ever undertake firing, and then it is often 
useless. If of long standing, ringbone is difficult 
to cure by any means, but it may be killed or 
checked. Apply compound tincture of iodine 
daily, rubbing it into the skin thoroughly, until a 
blister is formed. Then omit for a few days, 
greasing the part after the scab which forms, 
loosens. Repeat after a few days if necessary. 
The mare should have rest and if the tendency is 
to w-alk on the toe, should have a high-heeled 
shoe ; if on the heel, the reverse. If no formation 
of bony matter has yet taken piace, but there is 
simply inflammation, apply some soothing poul- WM 
tices. Keep the bowels open by means of bran i 
mashes or roots. t% _ 
Superior to Scraps, because it is cleaner, 
more 
finely ground, contains more bone, and is practi¬ 
cally dry material. Scraps contain a large 
amount of water; and, indeed, some so-called 
poultry foods are nothing but finely ground 
scraps. It is not economy to buy water for 
meat. Bowker’s Animal Meal takes the place of 
scraps because it furnishes meat; it takes the 
place of bone because it contains bone ; it takes 
the place of oyster shells because it furnishes 
lime.
