Three  Horses  Abreast 
Would  you  give  me  details  by  illustra¬ 
tion  of  the  most  practical  reiu  arrange¬ 
ment  for  driving  three  horses  abreast  for 
farm  xvork  G.  A. 
A  convenient  and  simple  line  arrange¬ 
ment  is  sHown  in  the  sketch.  The  inside 
cross  lines  are  removed  from  the  hame 
rings  of  the  outside  horses  and  after 
lengthening  somewhat  are  snapped  to  the 
bit  rings  of  the  middle  horse.  This  is 
indicated  by  the  full  lines  in  the  sketch. 
Straps,  represented  by  the  dotted  lines, 
are  then  snapped  from  the  inside  bit  rings 
of  the  outside  horses  to  the  hame  rings 
of  the  middle  horse  and  adjusted  to  the 
proper  length  to  give  the  horses  of  the 
team  sufficient  liberty  and  at  the  same 
time  make  them  easy  for  the  driver  to 
control. 
The  Horse  Association  of  America  has 
a  leaflet  on  “Hitches  for  Big  Teams”  in 
which  several  methods  of  using  teams 
made  up  of  from  5  or  more  horses  are 
shoAvn.  This  can  be  obtained  upon  ap¬ 
plication  to  the  office  of  this  association 
at  Chicago,  Ill.  r.  h.  s. 
Feeding  Dairy  Cows 
I  have  been  feeding  the  following  to 
milk  cows:  Morning — Brewers’  grains, 
'-80  lbs.;  eorn-and-cob  meal,  120  lbs.; 
with  extra  good  corn  fodder  roughage. 
Nights  they  get  8%  parts  brewers’ 
grains,  20  per  cent,  and  five  parts  of  the 
above  dry  feed  mixture,  with  good  clover 
hay  for  roughage ;  no^silage.  i  feed  all 
brewers’  gx-ain  at  one  feed  for  conven¬ 
ience  in  mixing  and  handling.  The  cows 
do  not  keep  flesh  properly  with  above 
feed.  Could  you  suggest  a  proper  com¬ 
bination  of  above  feeds?  n.  av. 
Pennsylvania. 
The  combination  that  you  are  feeding, 
as  well  as  your  system  of  feeding,  does 
not  square  Avith  the  usual  practice  in  feed¬ 
ing  dairy  coavs.  Brewers’  grains,  when 
fe»l  alone,  are  scarcely  palatable,  and  it 
\\  ould  be  advantageous  to  mix  all  of  your 
ingredients  and  feed  equal  parts  of  your 
grain  ration  morning  and  night.  Your 
ration  is  deficient  in  protein,  and  you 
have  relied  almost  exclusively  upon  one 
source  of  concentrates  to  supply  this  pro¬ 
tein.  I  like  to  include  some  linseed  meal 
and  wheat  bran  in  all  rations  for  dairy 
cows,  believing  that  a  variety  is  quite 
essential  as  the  correct  amount. 
With  clover  hay  for  l'oughage  and  no 
silage  it  would  be  the  pai‘t  of  wisdom  to 
include  some  moistened  beet  pulp  in  your 
ration  and  feed  this  at  least  once  a  day. 
Since  you  have  corn-and-cob  meal,  wheat 
bran  and  brewers’  grains  I  propose  the 
folloAving  combination :  300  lbs.  corn- 
and-cob  meal,  200  lbs.  brewers’  grains, 
100  lbs.  bran,  150  lbs.  cottonseed  meal, 
150  lbs.  linseed  meal,  100  lbs.  oats. 
This  will  provide  approximately  a  20 
per  cent  protein-carrying  combination 
and  ought  to  yield  good  results.  The 
time  to  put  flesh  on  a  dairy  cow  is  when 
she  is  dry  rather  than  when  she  is  milk¬ 
ing,  and  it  is  possible  that  you  have  neg¬ 
lected  to  feed  your  cows  in  the  proper 
manner  during  their  rest  period.  F.  c.  M. 
About  Canning  Meats 
I  notice  a  recent  request  about  canning 
meats.  I  began  to  do  it  three  seasons  ago 
and  have  never  lost  a  can ;  still  have 
some  which  Avas  put  up  the  first  season 
and  is  in  a  perfect  condition. 
We  raised  a  “baby  beef,”  a  calf  not 
quite  a  year  old,  milk-fed,  also  a  pig,  and 
canned  nearly  all  of  the  meat.  I  like  it 
best  to  cook  the  beef  until  tender  in  the 
kettle  or  roaster,  then  pack  in  cans  in 
as  large  portions  as  possible  and  add 
broth  to  nearly  till  the  cans,  also  a  tea¬ 
spoon  of  salt  to  each  quart  can.  Place 
rubbers  on  and  leave  the  spring  up  on 
the  can,  cook  tAvo  hours  in  the  can.  I 
have  a  small  dish  of  beef  suet  rendered 
and  hot  on  the  stove.  As  I  take  each 
tan  out  of  the  hot  water  I  remove  the 
cover,  add  two  tablespoons  of  the  hot 
suet,  replace  cover  and  seal.  Do  not  in- 
vert  the  cans,  and  the  suet  forms  a  per¬ 
fect  coating  at  the  top  on  the  meat,  also 
makes  the  gravy  richer  when  made. 
I  had  so  much  broth  left  from  the  beef 
I  boiled  it  doAvn  until  a  little  richer,  then 
filled  cans  with  that  and  cooked  the  same 
two  hours,  but  did  not  add  the  suet;sealed 
it  as  soon  as  taken  from  the  hot  Avater 
bath.  This,  too.  kept  perfectly,  and  when 
you  want  soup  in  a  hurry  on  a  cold 
night  it  is  just  the  thing. 
We  use  the  shoulders  from  the  pig 
(fresh)  ;  cut  most  of  the  fat  off  and  put 
into  lard,  then  roast  in  the  oven  in  a 
covered  roaster  until  the  meat  leaves  the 
bones,  then  pack  in  cans  and  cook  two 
hours,  the  same  as  the  beef. '  The  spare- 
rib  also  we  used  the  same  way  and  we 
prefer  the  meat  to  chicken.  Of  course 
there  is  not  so  much  fat  to  put  in  for  the 
gravy  as  in  the  beef,  but  the  cans  do  not 
r  eed  to  be  filled,  as  the  air  contained  in 
the  spaces  is  sterilized  by  cooking  the  tAvo 
hours. 
The  cooker  xvliich  I  use  is  a  common 
porcelain  water  pail,  12-quart  size,  Avith  a 
good  tight  granite  cover  and  a  10-cent 
round  layer  cake  tin  fitted  into  the  bottom 
of  the  pail,  the  tin  is  first  made  full  of 
holes  with  a  nail  and  inverted  when  put 
in,  which  forms  a  rack  holding  three 
quart  cans  or  four  pints.  I  prefer  this 
outfit  to  the  boiler  Avhich  I  have  used,  as 
this  will  fit  over  one  burner  of  the  oil 
stove  and  will  boil  much  more  quickly. 
I  have  the  Avater  warm  in  the  pail  and 
enough  of  it  to  nearly  cover  the  cans. 
My  sausage  I  partly  fry  in  little  round 
cakes,  pack  into  pint  cans  and  set  in  the 
covered  roaster  in  the  oven  for  one  hour 
xvith  hot  water  to  partly  cover  the  cans, 
clamp  the  spring  on  the  cans  when  taking 
out  and  it  is  done.  I  like  it  best  this 
way,  as  we  are  but  three  in  family,  and 
even  with  one  extra  one  a  can  is  plenty 
for  a  meal. 
Just  a  little  about  cans.  I  like  the 
“lightning”  type  the  best,  as  the  old 
style  ring  tops  are  so  hard  to  manage 
when  hot.  I  take  pains  to  see  that  each 
can  of  mine  when  emptied  is  Avell  washed, 
scalded  and  dried;  then  they  are  stored 
in  a  dean  cupboard  so  when  needed  I 
simply  rinse  them  in  clear  hot.  water  and 
stand  them  in  a  pan  of  the  same  on  the 
back  of  the  stove  near  by  to  fill.  When 
they  are  filled  and  cooled  they  are  well 
Avashed  in  clean  soapy  water  and  wiped 
dry,  and  the  tops  dipped  in  hot  parowax. 
f  course  rubbers  should  be  new  and  weli 
washed,  and  alhnved  to  get  warm  in  clear 
water  before  putting  on  cans.  I  think  a 
great  deal  of  trouble  xvith  canned  goods 
spoiling  is  that  the  cans  are  not  cared 
toi  properly.  I  have  been  surprised  at 
some  cupboards  I  have  seen  where  the 
cans  xyere  stored  both  full  and  empty 
wWeC™U<fV  ri  ,?tLcky  ou  the  outside
