FORKFULS OF FACTS. 
Feeding Partridges. —The Baltimore 
Sun suggested feeding 1 the partridges in 
cold weather. I had been giving them 
wheat daily. They came regularly to 
my front door at 3:30 p. m. ; it was amus¬ 
ing to see them go to a persimmon tree 
and fly up in it to knock down the fruit. 
T. W. LAWFORD. 
Poultry Need Meat. —I find that dried 
brewers’ grains and starch grains (or 
glucose) are excellent to balance up the 
ration, and at the same time give bulk. 
But the more I experiment, the more it 
seems apparent that a good share of the 
protein must come from some animal 
food like skim-milk, lean meat, cut bone, 
animal meal, or the bugs and worms 
which they obtain on a free range at 
certain seasons of the year. o. w. mapes. 
Animal Medicine. —Instinct often 
seems to teach animals what to do in 
time of sickness or accident. A wild 
animal with a wounded foot will, it is 
said, go to a stream and hold the foot in 
the water for days. Animals, too, go to 
certain plants and herbs for medicine. 
This is the latest information : 
Dr. George B. Haggart thinks that birds eat 
poke berries in preference to other kinds when 
they wish to cut down their weight so as to fly 
well. Some of the anti-fat remedies contain poke 
berry juice. 
A Family Cow.—What breed of cow would The 
R- N.-Y. recommend for a family, where milk and 
butter are both the objects ? What ration would 
you advise to feed such a cow, to select from the 
following : Bran and shorts (mixed just as it runs 
from the mill),$17 per ton; mixed feed (two-thirds 
bran and shorts, one-third crushed corn), $17; 
mixed feed (one-third each bran and shorts, corn 
and oats), $21; mixed feed (one-half each corn 
and oats), $22; corn meal, $20; crushed cob meal, 
$17; ground oats, $24 ; hay, $17; corn stover. Any 
of the above are equally available. What would 
you think of a cross between a Holstein and 
Jersey ? In what form is it best to feed the above ? 
Johnson City, Tenn. e. e. e. 
B- N.-Y.—Our choice would be a large 
and healthy grade with Jersey and 
Guernsey blood. The Holstein and Jersey 
cross would be excellent. We would feed 
about two pounds corn meal and three 
pounds mixed bran and shorts per day, 
with, say, 12 pounds of hay and what 
corn fodder she will pick over. We 
would prefer to add a pound per day of 
linseed meal to this and to chop the hay, 
moisten it with hot water and pour the 
grain over it. 
For the Good of tiie Bull. — In 
the case of abortion in cows, I have 
made careful inquiries for the past few 
years in regard to where the bull came 
from, and how he had been used. Last 
week I met a friend from an adjoining 
town who said that he had trouble with 
his cows, 12 having lately aborted. I 
said, “ Let’s find out about the bull you 
used last season.”

OUR LINSEED OIL MEAL. 
Why does onr product, have 25 per cent more albumi¬ 
noids and carbohydrates than the other ? Because 
presses necessarily take from the seed much of the 
mucilage with the oil. and we take oil only. 
Many feeders find cake meal more laxative, there¬ 
fore prefer our meal. Address

Australian Poultry. —Ai’rangements 
are being made in Australia, to breed 
poultry on a lai'ge scale for shipment in 
cold storage to the English market. The 
Australian seasons are exactly the re¬ 
verse of those in England, so that poul¬ 
try can be fattened for the English 
winter market at a low cost. The fol¬ 
lowing “big story” is told as to some 
Australian poultry methods : 
A novel feature in the Victorian method is the 
use of turkey hens as incubators or hatching ma¬ 
chines. They are said to be the best sitters, and 
can be made to sit at any time without being 
broody, by giving a teaspoonful of Port wine be¬ 
fore putting them on the nest. They will each 
cover 20 eggs, and bring out three or four clutches 
before leaving the nest. The chickens are re¬ 
moved to foster mothers or ordinary hens, which 
have chickens of the same age, and a fresh sitting 
of eggs supplied to the turkey on the nest. 
A Close IIen Ration. — It seems to 
me that if C. M. W., page 194, will de¬ 
crease the amount of feed, especially in 
the morning, until the hens get to lay¬ 
ing well, and at the same time increase 
the proportion of nitrogenous matter, 
boiling the meat and using a little cot¬ 
ton-seed and linseed meal, he will get 
plenty of eggs. It may be that he has 
too much glass in his house for the hens 
to lay in cold weather; this, I think, is 
the trouble with a good many. It may 
be interesting to some of The R. N.-Y. 
readers to know that the ration I have 
fed this winter has been of a ratio of not 
more than 1:2, and part of the time as 
low as 1:1J£ ; and I have had more eggs 
this winter than ever before, and the 
fowls are healthier. l. a. p. 
Worcester, Mass. 
“Snake Skin” for Cows.—F. L. K. 
says, “ There are no remedies that we 
know to have any practical use or value” 
in a case of retention of afterbirth in a 
cow. It would be hard to convince some 
of our dairymen that the statement is 
correct. There are various remedies 
used, but the one invariably successful, 
is a piece of dried black-snake skin four 
or five inches long, chopped fine and 
mixed in the food. I haven’t figured 
out cause and effect, but I can testify 
that I have known it to relieve, appar¬ 
ently, several cases, and it wasn’t a faith 
cure either, as the cow didn’t know any¬ 
thing about it. One of the most sensi¬ 
ble practical men I ever knew, believed 
in it, having become convinced, against 
a strong prejudice, by repeated trials. 
I offer it to Dr. Kilborne for what it is 
worth. c p. a. 
Connecticut. 
Many Hundred “ Cough Remedies ” have been 
introduced to the public during the past half century, 
and have been lost sight of. Dr. D. Jayne’s Expec¬ 
torant, on the contrary, introduced over 60 years, is 
to-day in the very front rank of Family Medicines.— 
Adv. 
“Oh, he was a good strong two-year- 
old—the bull must be all right.” 
“ Where did he come from, and what 
did he do when he was a yearling ? ” 
“ I got him from Bear Hollow, where 
he probably served 40 or 50 cows.” 
“Now you see what you started with 
as a sire in your dairy of 48 cows last 
season. ” 
“ Well, I declare ; I turned the hull in 
and he ran until fall. I never thought 
of using up the vitality of a bull before.” 
I am firmly convinced that letting the 
bulls run in this haphazard way, is one 
great cause of so much abortion. No 
doubt there are exceptions, and other 
causes that develop and produce the 
same results. o. h. smith. 
GLUTTONOUS HORSES. 
Some horses are like men, they are greedy feed- 
ers gluttonous—and, like men, become sick. Dr. 
Sloan tells about them in his little book, Treatise 
on The Horse, and he also gives a chapter on feed 
for sick horses, and upon almost all the diseases 
and ailments of the horse, and how to cure them. 
All this is told in plain language, so that you can 
understand it. If you own a horse, the doctor will 
send it free, provided you mention The R. N.-Y.
