CURING BALKY HORSE. 
A young mare six years old. broke io work 
well through season, hut when hitched to a 
sleigh with light load she began to balk 
and has been worthless for heavy work since. 
Will work fairly well on a light rig. Very 
strong, good eater and drinker and in good 
flesh, weight 1,300 pounds. Can she be made 
to work? n. s. 
Oregon. 
You have a job on your hands where 
you must hold your temper and get the 
best of the mare in a slow quiet way. 
The way to get the best of balky horses 
is to tire them out in some way before you 
try to have them do what you wish. This 
can be done by placing them on three 
legs for a time or giving them a good lot 
of light work before you put them at 
heavy work, and see that they are noj put 
in any place where they will refuse to 
work. This is the secret of the whole 
thing. It is a fact that there are more 
balky drivers Jhan horses.

BLUE ANDALUSIAN POULTRY. 
Will some breeder tell us the arguments 
in favor of this breed? 
Blue Andalusians closely resemble the 
Minorcas in many ways, the only mate¬ 
rial difference being color. A more beau¬ 
tiful fowl than Blue Andalusians can 
scarcely be found; they are very orna¬ 
mental on account of their beautiful plum¬ 
age. They belong to the Mediterranean 
class, and originally came from Andalusia, 
Spain, whence they derive their name. 
They are unsurpassed as layers; the eggs 
are large and white like the Minorcas. 
1 hey belong to the non-sitting class, and 
weigh about the same as Minorcas. They 
are a very hardy variety and quick to de¬ 
velop. There is also a great demand for 
the fowls and eggs, for which a liberal 
price is given owing to the scarcity of the 
breed. w. g. mosher.

FATTENING POULTRY. 
Why do people place young and old 
fowls on the market when not properly 
fattened, when it is but little work to 
make fattening coops? My coops are made 
about six feet long, divided into three 
parts; this makes them f -o feet square, 
made of V /2 inch slats with two inch space 
all around the same. They should be placec 
up from the ground or floor to keep the 
fowls clean. Place a tray before them 
with feed, and if not all eaten up trays 
should be removed until next feeding. 
Each part should contain four or five 
birds, according to size, or as many as 
can come to the front to eat at once. 
My first experience was with 538 pounds, 
worth $44.60 in the market; feed $7.57 
other expenses $1.40; total $53.57; when 
sold amounted to $68.71, which you see 
was a profit of $15.14. They should be 
fed light for the first five days with mash 
consisting of two parts oats, one part 
bran, one part meal. Increase slowly to 
two parts oats, two parts meal and con¬ 
tinue until the last few day’s clear meal 
with plenty of grit. The birds will gain 
in weight enough to more than pay for the 
feed and will sell for two or three cents 
more in the market, as they are so much 
better flavor and also fine color.

FEEDING COTTON SEED MEAL 
Cotton-seed meal is the dairyman’s 
cheapest source of protein, and can be 
fed to cows in milk in quantities large 
enough to balance the carbohydrates and 
fats in the ration. Most cases of garget, 
and what is just as bad for both the cow 
and the dairyman, indigestion (off the 
feed) can be traced to a poorly balanced 
ration. Cotton-seed meal analyzing 42 
per cent protein at $30 per ton is a much 
cheaper feed than bran analyzing 16 per 
cent it $20 per ton. But I have never 
been able to get the same profit when I 
have used all cotton-seed meal to balance 
the ration as when I used the same num¬ 
ber of pounds of bran as of the meal. 
Cotton-seed meal is constipating. The 
bran by keeping the bowels in good con¬ 
dition pays for its extra cost. I have fed 
with profit the following rations: 1. 25 
pounds corn fodder, 4 pounds cornmeal, 
4 pounds bran, 4 pounds cotton-seed 
meal. 2. 8 pounds mixed hay, 20 pounds 
corn fodder, 5 pounds cornmeal, 3 pounds 
bran, 3 pounds cotton-seed meal. 3. 40 
pounds silage, 3 pounds bran, 3 pounds 
cotton-seed meal. When on fair pasture 
two pounds cornmeal, one pound cotton¬ 
seed meal. The pasture ration can be 
mixed in the above proportion, and any 
number of pounds fed per day that the 
price of milk will justify. Farther south, 
where cotton-seed meal is cheaper, it is 
fed alone in large quantities to both cows 
and beef cattle when on pasture. My 
brother fattened cattle in Texas by giving 
a gallon at a feed. But they do a great 
many things in 1 exas we would not have 
the nerve to do here. 
Maryland. john h. janney. 
As for cows, the ordinary breed is selling 
from $30 to $40 per head, and likely to go 
higher, as milk is a better price for the Win¬ 
ter than it has been for several years. There 
has been general satisfaction with the price 
of milk the past Summer. Feed is high at 
present, and the prospect is that it will go 
higher, as it usually does in the Winter 
banners raise very little grain of anv kind' 
not one-quarter what they need for their 
stock. Many do not raise even their own 
bread. s , B .
