Urindlns; Food for Stock.

While there are differences of opinion as to whether or not food for stock ought to be ground, there is no doubt but what young stock of all kin.ls thrive best on the ground food. This is but natural, for the immature stomach is much better able to digest the ground food than the whole grain. That ground food Is also beneficial for mature stock no one will deny, and yet how beneficial depends both on the food used and upon the animal. Whpat fe<l to hogs must of course be ground or the hard portions will pass through the animal undigested; so with other foods fed to different animals, and the feeder should use common sense In determining' whether It will or will not pay to grind the food he has to give. Many cows of considerable age would still he profitable if more care was taken in the preparation of the food given them. While the subject is one that must be largely worked out by the feeder, it will pay every time to follow the suggestion that food for young stock be ground.
