SCIENCE APPLIED TO FARMING.
BY PROF. W. o. ATwATER, WESLEYAN
UNIVERSITY, CONN.

From the american Agriculturist.
Many farmers consider straw and
cornstalks as nearly worthless for fod-
der. Others feed them to their stock,
and find them very valuable. On Eng
fish farms you may see straw stacked as
carefully as hay, and sold at a guinea
$500 gold per ton, for mixing with
other food for stock. And in France
and Germany straw is as staple an
article of fodder as hay. recall one
case in Germany, when oat straw was
rated at $3.50, good clover hay at SO SO,
and field beets at $2.l5, gold, per ton !;
another where barley straw was valued
at $4.33, and clover hay at $500 per
ton, these being the prices at which
those materials were actually bought
and sold for fodder And in those
parts of this country and of Europe
especially, which are most noted for
their successful agriculture, straw and
like fodder-materials are used with pro-
fit, not only for store cattle and sheep,
but also for horses, working oxen, milch
cows, and fattening cattle. The theory
that these foods contain so much ma
terial for making meat and milk and
producing animal heat and muscular
force, is well explained on scientific
grounds, is proved by practice and is
supported by accurate experiments
Here is table giving the average
values of different foods as based upon
the amount of digestible, nutritiye ma
terial they contain, taken from the Ger
man farmers diary:

done. 1t was stated that the annual
product of the poultry in Bucks county,
including eggs, is about 100000 an
pually. DR.. Dickie was very emphatic
in the opinion that there is no business
that promises a better return for the
money invested than the poultry bust
ness. In reply to the allegation some
times made that the common barn yard
fowl is just as good as any, he said
that he had found by experience that
such is not the case. At the sugges-
ton of the members, Dr. Dickie gave
somewhat of detailed account of the
pathological condition of the chickens
that have died with the cholera, gather
ed from post norton examinations, from
which he had concluded that the disease
is blood poison. In reply to ques-
ton as to what it will cost to produce a
dozen eggs, he said that he had raised
them for three cents per dozen, and this
had been done in the month of Feb
ruary. The question was asked why
chickens do not lay in the Winter, to
which it was replied that it is because
they are not taken proper care Of
Chickens must be properly sheltered
and fed in cold weather in order to pro-
duce eggs. Animal food is occasionally
necessary, and sour milk is the simplest
form of this kind of food They should
not have too much whole corn, but a
variety is necessary.

Now why is it that so many Ameri-
can farmers put so low an estimate
upon straw, and like substances, and
what is the secret of making them so
valuable for fodder in Europe? One
reason for this difference is doubtless
the fact that here the gain is often al
lowed to stand too long before harvest
ing. Early cut straw, like early cut
hay, is much more digestible and nutri-
tious than that which is allowed to
stand longer. European farmers, who
make so good use of straw, harvest
their grain much earlier than many do
with US. The land there, too, is much
better MANFRED than it is here, and
grain, we'll supplied with barn yard ma
nure, guano, or other fertilizers con-
tanning much nitrogen, yields large
luxuriant stalk, which keeps green until
quite mature. Well MANFRED hay and
clover are more nutritious than those
poorly MANFRED, and the same is boubt-
less true of straw
But the great reason why farmers
find such foods as straw of little worth,
is that when fed alone, they have really
but little value. TO get the full benefit
of all the digestible material of stsaw,
other things must be mixed with it.
The practical lesson to be learned is,
that we need not necessarily feed these
animals q large extra quantity of more
costly hay or clover, to get the addi-
tianal albuminoids, but that we may use
straw and the like, to supply Carlo
hydrates, and add small quantity of
food containing much nitrogen in a con-
centrated form. For example, good
quantity of straw, with few pounds
of beans, oil-cake, etc, furnish the ami
NAL with just the same necessary food
materials, as large supply of more
costly hay. 1t is by carefully studying
these principles and applying them to
practice that the greatest saving, and
consequently the largest profit is made
