Nv - Feed Straw al 5::.:.

lie Agr'A Brifsh Agricudarid, in
reply TO a correspondent, thus describe.
the proper method OF feeding straw and
roots together: The straw should be
cut about Ii inches long. and heap
Ell tablespoonful OF salt mixed to each
beast per day The mixing process
should be accomplished the day before
the stuff Is to be used, and water muet
be within the animals reach. Hav for
horses should be cut about three-quar-
tiers of an inch long. and put into deep
boxes before the animals. We prefer
giving the bruised oats and good fresh
Swede turnip or two daily, separate
from the cut hay. Rather less than an
ounce of salt daily is plenty for horse.
They should get an ounce of nitre every
Saturday night. As to the question of
pulping and straw-cutting paying good
deal will depend on the power available
If waterpower can be got so much the
better, but if animal or steam power is
employed the expense OF The system is
increased. We should be surprised to
find that our correspondent can keep
nearly one fourth more cattle on his
farm by means OF pulping and straw
emitting. If the animals get what they
can eat they will consume more turnips
pulped with safety than in any other
way. The great advantages of puIping
are that there is no checking blowing;
thar fedders are enabled to have turnips,
though in a mixed state, continually be-
fore cattle, and that cattle will consnme
more roots, and we think, take on fat
aud flesh rather quicker than with any
other system of feeding. Deeper troughs
will be required with pulped roots and
cut straw than for The ordinary sys,em

advise the addition of cake to the mix

Oats 7s, Corn fer Live Stock.

Concerning this subject, DIR. James.
the Commissioner Of Agriculture of
Georgia, writes as follows: Taking
into consideration the cost of produc-
ton, the chemical analysis and the com
paratiye freedom from stealagc, oats are
cheaper a. stock food than corn One
bushel or liliy-six pounds OF corn cos.,
fiitv-cight cents. while one brShel pr
thirty-two pounds of oats cost, twenty
nine cents, making difference OF th:r-
teen cents in the cost of one hundred
pounds Of the two. Chemical analysis
slows that oats contain twelve PC cent.
OF albuminoids, or flesh and muscle pro-
ducing principle. while corn contains
ten per cent. l. will thus be seen tina;
for work animals oats are more valuable
than corn IL food when equal weight,
are used. Consider, now, that one linn
bred pounds Of oats cost thirteen cent,
less than one hundred pounds OF corn,
and the case stands decidedly In favor
OF oats Tor WORK stock.
In iat-producing properties, corn b.,
seven per cent, oats six per cent II
will be seen. therefore, that when equal
weights only are compared, corn has the
advantage a iat-produeer. But tqhirg
the cost also into consideration, there f.
no choice in this respect. Another de-
cided advantage of oats tor our climate.
