We are informed by an INTELLIGENT farm

We are informed by an intelligent farmer
who has tried it, that sorghum cane. after
the juice has been expressed, cut up with
the usual machine Tor cutting straw and
hay, and fed to cattle and horses, affords
the very best feed for fattening the animals
and increasing the milk of cows. The idea
that the crushed canes are worthless, or
that they are injurious to animals, is alto
gether erroneous, when the juice has been
released and the canes put up and fed.
Animals are very fond Of it. and fatten rap
idly upon such diet.
The Southern Planter says the leaves of
mullen scattered amoug the corn in the
crib, will effectually preserve it from the
ravages of rats, and that corn soaked in a
solution of sulphate of iron (copperas)
previous to planting will not be troubled
with moles.

REMARKS.


One question that cannot as yet be an
swered by experience is the degree of cold
that a silo filled above ground can be sub
jected to without injury. l presume that
the chemical action which exists even in the
compressed material, will be sufficient to
prevent any injury from this cause, but
probably a small protection on the outside,
or north side Of wall will insure it's safety.
1t is probable that maize sown broadcast
is not proper matter for ensilage, as its
saccharine capacity is less developed than
when ylanted in drills; no sugar, no alco-
hol. There is a French maxim, 'WhO has
hay has bread" Since fodder supports
cattle, cattle yield manure which brings
fertility to the soil and abundance to the
harvest. The one thing lacking to the
South and East Of this great country is cat
tie. | believe that ''silos'' and ''ensilage''
will supply this lack. and that everywhere
and all over, cattle raising and fattening
will take the front rank in agricultural in
dustry.
The price Of Ensilage Cutter is 1925 at
New York. 1t is strong enough for any
kind Of power, while it can be run even by
one horse. Weight about 1000 lbs.
shall be happy to receive and to print
any additional facts that may be ascertain
ed upOn this subject, 1t certainly seems to
promise to contribute more to the happi-
ness of the human race than any other
physical discovery that has ever been made.
The suggestion that green grass or green
fodder is not the most economical or profit
able food for cat tie in the summer season
is certainly & revolutionary idea.
NJ. Goffart states that the processes which
have been recommended by a certain
French writer, and which were unfortuna-
tely published extensively in this country,
were defective, and have caused the loss of
much money to several agriculturists in
France, who to-day do not like to hear the
subject mentioned. 1t is greatly to be de
sired that American agriculturists should
start on the right track and not be misled
or discouraged by careless or superficial ar
ticles on the subject.
Ensilage may be not only a store for win
ter use, but against drought as we'll.
