SWEET CORN AND SQUASHES FOR 
SHEEP. 
I wish anyone who has hogs to fatten 
or milch cows, or, in fact, any kind of 
stock, they desire to do extra well in Fall 
and early Winter, would try planting an 
acre or more to early sweet corn and 
Ilubbard squashes (or any other good 
squash; we have never found any that 
suited us so well as Hubbard). We have 
planted in this way for about 10 years and 
are better suited every year. Our corn 
has been Cory and Perry’s Hybrid, plant¬ 
ed four feet apart in hills. We always 
cook the squashes. If for milch cows re¬ 
move the seeds. Take a large tin pan, cut 
three or four squashes in two roundwise, 
flatten the end of one piece so it will sit' 
firmly in the pan, then set the pieces one 
inside the other, as high as will sit in the 
oven, and bake until thoroughly done, and 
see how your hogs, cows, hens or almost 
anything that lives by eating, from your 
dog to your horse, will enjoy and thrive 
on them. 
The corn, as soon as the ears are filled, 
hogs and cattle, will eat, stalks, cobs and 
all. After the corn is ripe cut the stalks 
and ears into pieces from one to three 
inches long, fill feed cooker or large ket¬ 
tle about half full, and boil with plenty of 
water about two hours; then put in as 
many squashes as kettle will hold and bod 
slowly for an hour longer, and you have 
a swill fit for the best. This is not saying 
that other vegetables are not fine feed, 
and we always feed all our surplus, but 
always cook them and think they are 
worth much more than fed raw. A great 
many people ask how we manage to keep 
our hogs, more especially, 'n such good 
order all the Fall. mrs. e. m. s.

POMACE AS MANURE. 
In regard to apple pomace as manure: A 
few years ago I had some cider made In the 
orchard ; the mill stood not far from a Red 
Astrachan tree. The man who made the 
cider threw the pomace from two or three 
pressings near the tree. It was left there, 
and the next year that whole side of the 
tree was dead, and is still dead. The other 
side still produces fruit. Another tree was 
completely killed by a vinegar barrel leak¬ 
ing. The barrel of cider was left under and 
near the tree to sour. s. c. G.

R. N.-.Y.—We would use lime with 
fresh pomace. After it is well rotted 
there will be less trouble. 
A SOW KILLS A SHEEP. 
In answer to the caption, “Can a sow 
kill a sheep?” on page 157, I say yes. But 
a few days before receiving The R. N.-Y. 
of said date I found one of my best sheep 
dead in the yard with the neck and fore¬ 
quarters badly mangled. The first ribs 
were partly gnawed to give access to the 
heart and lungs, which were partly eate.i 
and scattered about. An old sow, lying 
contented in the straw a few feet away, 
with a bloody snout, told the story. The 
sheep were allowed the freedom of the 
yard during the daytime, but were shut 
in their pen nights. The sow, after get¬ 
ting out of her pen several times into the 
yard, was finally allowed to stay there, as 
she seemed to enjoy burrowing in the 
straw. She had bad the run of the yard 
with the sheep two months or more be¬ 
fore this occurred. We had butchered 
some pigs in a pen adjoining the yard a 
J day or two before, and the smell of the 
blood may have aroused her thirst for 
blood, or the taste for mutton may have 
been acquired from a lamb just dropped 
that she devoured last Spring. Possibly 
the sheep was fastened in some way in the 
rail fence which encloses the straw stack, 
but that I don’t know, although when 
found she was entirely clear from it. As 
we did not care to experiment with the 
old sow to see if she would kill any more 
sheep, we immediately put her in a pen 
alone. r. t. s.

Another Prolific Cow. —I see an article 
on page 284 headed “A Prolific Cow,” from 
W. H. P., Rahway, N. J., who thinks his 
cow has a record that cannot be beaten. I 
had a cow a few years ago that had 11 calves 
in less than four years. First, she had twins 
and triplets three times in succession, and 
raised them all but one calf. The last three 
weighed 388 pounds five weeks old. This 
sounds like a big “fish story,” but I have the 
dates of birth and can give them any time 
if necessary. j. g. 
Findern, N. J. 
Milkins : “What do you think that 
young man who is calling on your daugh¬ 
ter?” Bifkins: “O, lie’s the limit. He 
reminds me of a cipher with the rim 
off.”—Chicago News. 
A North Carolina negro called at the 
preacher’s residence the other night and 
asked: “ ’Bout how much will you charge 
to marry me, suh?” “Well,” said the 
preacher, “I usually get $5.” “Lor’, boss,” 
exclaimed the negro, “I ain’t gwine to 
marry but one woman!”—Credit Lost. 
Patient: “Great Scott! Doctor, that’s 
an awful bill for one week’s treatment!” 
Physician: “My dear fellow, if you knew 
what an interesting case yours was and 
how strongly I was tempted to let it go 
to a post mortem you wouldn’t grumble 
at a bill three limes as big as this.”— 
Chicago Tribune. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See guarantee, page 14.
