Beans for Stock Feed. A Canadian farmer says, although white beans are of no value for fattening stock, yet they are the best things that can be fed to young animals, as they contain the necessary materials for making bone and muscle. For a young colt, one pint of beans and oats crushed together will be found much better than oats alone. A neighbor of mine, a few years ago, fed his store ewes with a regular allowance of beans and peas crushed, during the winter, and, as a consequence, the next spring never lost a lamb. They were so strong that they were on their feet and tried to suck almost as soon as they were dropped.
