Fine or Coarse Ground Feed.

'H. W. 4" in Country Gentleman.
L., page 200, inquiries how fine feed
should be ground for stock, stating
that nearly half the farmers there
think it should be ground fine. |
fully agree with the first part of the
answer, "that it has been proved that
whole grain is inferior to ground
meal" and also that when very fine it
is more likely TO become packed in n
mass in the stomach than when it is
coarser or granulated; but this does
not prove that it is rs well or better
TO grind it coarse, rs l.. perhaps might
infer. Whole grain is inferior TO
ground because the fineness of divis-
ion in the ground grain gives it much
more surface for the digesting fluid
to act upon, and thus digestion be-
comes much more complete.
The question must be, in what
condition of fineness is meal most
digestible when properly fed II we
grant that coarse cracked corn allows
freer circulation of the gastric juice
than fine corn meal, still it does not
prove that more of this coarse ground
will be digested. In fact have
conclusively proved the contrary by
a number of careful experiments in
feeding very Underground meal for
one week, and then coarsely-ground
the next, and carefully examining the
manure, found scarcely trace of the
fine, while about 10 per cent. of the
coarsest passed without digestion. 1t
would have been somewhat more sat
isfactory il the manure had been
Analysed yet inspection was quite
sufficient as n general comparison.
This experiment consisted in feeding
alone three quarts of either quality
dry per day. / also tried the same
experiment by mixing first the fine
meal with twice its bulk of cut hay,
moistened, during ten days, and then
the coarse mixed the same; and in
this case not trace of the fine meal
could be found in the manure, but
what was judged TO be about 5 per
cent. of the coarse was found in the
manure. In feeding shelled corn
alone, 20 per cent. appeared in the
manure, but when the shelled corn
was fed with cut hay, which rendered
it difficult TO separate the corn from
the hay, both being eaten together,
about half as much appeared in the
manure.
/ think the principle holds good
that the benefit Of grinding Is in
proportion to the tineness of division,
and If this IL the case, farmers should
be advised to feed tie meal with such
coarse food rs will separate the par
ticles of meal, and thus secure CON-
plete digestion. Because careless
farmers will feed meal without any
admixture of cut hay, straw or chat,
their bad example should not lead US
to modify the true principles appli-
cable TO grinding and proper feeding.
HENS and milk go well together.
Ply persistently the former with the
latter. and great shall be vour reward.

Mr.. HENRY RoTHRoCK, of Spring
township, showed us n stalk of oats
last week, which had been taken from
his field, and which measured over
five feet long. twas superb Mr..
Rothrock says his field is full of just
such oats as this, that it is all Han
cock oats, and that his crop will be
like Hancock's majority in Pennsyl-
vania-big.

The subject of "Ensilagc," or, in
other words, the preservation of
green corn, or other green crops in a
pit in the earth, for winter feeding, is
now attracting much attention among
farmers everywhere. OF course, the
entire subject is new to many of our
readers, and for their benefit we quote
from the Chicago Lice Stock Journal
n reply to an Ohio farmer which gives
the clearest explanation of the pro-
cess that has yet come under our OBJ.
Servation.

Book Notices.

A recent visit from an agent of the
American CycIopodia has set us to think.
ing good deal about the education Of
farmers boys. The truth is that the
average farmer finds very serious diff.
culties in the way of giving his sons even
good ordinary education. While,
thanks to our common school system,
the rudiments of an education are
placed within reach Of every boy in the
land, the sparsely settled communities
Of the rural districts cannot afford the
best schools or The most competent
teachers, and the farmer who desires to
give his children the advantages of even
an ordinarily good English education,
finds himself confronted 10y difficulties
which the people of the towns do not
have TO contend with. Absence of
proper schools and competent teachers
near home, and inability TO incur the
heavy expense Of sending to the towns
where these advantages may be had =,
prevent many farmers family from
attaining that degree OF intelligence
which should be the possession of every
young man and woman in the land.
Under these circumstances the farmer
and his family should buy, read and
study the best books To be had and OF
these we know of none better, as an aid
in the general education of the family,
than the AmerteaH CyciQp0,i,u. 1t is lit.
orally filed with the best oLtainable in.
| formation upon all subjects, aud in such
condensed form that even the farmer,
busy as he is, may post himself thorough.
ly upon any matter TO which his attcn.
ton may be called. We have neither
time nor space to speak of the merits Of
this work in detail. II is enough 10 say
that it is the latest, fullest, most reliable,
and in all respects the best Of all the Cy.
clopmdias published, and as a medium
of obtaining general information is
worth more TO the young man or young
woman who has mastered the ordinary
branches taught in the country schools,
than all the schools in the State.

DURING a drive down the Bald
Eagle Valley and up Nittany, a few
days ago, our attention was directed
to the greatly improved farming of
the two valleys, and particularly
that of the Bald Eagle. Crops in
both are looking well, and giving ev-
idence of good care, and intelligent
and improved cultivation; but our
friends in Nittany, among whom are
some of the best farmers in the
county, will have TO "look leedle
out" or their Bald Eagle brethren
will soon be fully abreast of them.
"Bald Eagle farming" has long been
sort OF by-word of reproach, but at
the rate of improvement now mani
fest all along the valley, the old.time
sneer will soon become n compliment.
Fence rows have been cleaned out,
lines Strengthened, stumps pulled and
burned, swamps drained, brush patch
es cleared, old buildings repaired
and new ones erected, and the spirit
of improvement and evidences Of
thrift are seen on nearly every farm.
The land seems to be better titled
than formerly; crops are more
abundant and more diversified.
Among the novelties we noticed
"fodder corn," sown to help out the
short hay crop; Hungarian grass or
millet for the same purpose, and to.
bacco. This last mentioned crop
seems TO be commanding a good
share of attention. At Mount Eagle
Jacob Il. Leathers is cultivating it
to considerable extent; at Howard,
four acres of the Heverly farm have
been devoted to it by Samuel Brick
ley, and j. A. Woodward has given
up nearly eleven acres of his place
to its culture. This is divided into
lots, which are being cultivated by
men from Clinton county whose
names VIC did not learn. Both lots
are fine, and we saw individual plants
with fourteen leaves, and found num-
bers of leaves measuring from twelve
to sixteen inches long. At Eagle
Vile, Mr.. Manskcr, on the old Liggett
farm, now owned by =. b. Crider,
has no less than seventeen acres de-
voted to the weed, all of which looks
well. 1t is divided up into several
small lots, under the care of as many
individuals, most of whom live In the
village. All this is decided improve
ment upon the old "Bald Eagle farm
Ing" and we congratulate our friends
there upon the progress they have
made.

We have received, from Secretary
McConkey, the premium list of the
great sheep show which is to take
place at Philadelphia in September,
Immediately after the close of the
State Socicty's Exhibition, and under
its auspices. The premiums offered
are on very liberal scale, and will
doubtless have the effect of bringing
out the finest display of sheep, wool

gether. The "Grand Sweepstakes"
