Mixed Feed for Cows.

4 correspondent of the Newark IN ~
Advertiser. who attended the recent meet
ing of the State Board of Visitors at Rutgers
College. New Brunswick, gives the following
account of the Experimental Agricultural
Station located at that place. The Director
of the Station. Professor Cook, made a re-
port of what the Station has accomplished
since its organization less than year ago.
The Station has room free of rent from the
College and in this room there is perfect
working laboratory, where analyses are
made and experiments are conducted.
Farmers from any part of the State can send
specimens here and have them analysed
free of expense. The Director of the Station
and Professor Neill, who is the chemist
here, devO'ed considerable time the past
season to the subject of fertilizers There
are manufactured in this State annually
about 50, 000, 600 worth of special fertilizers.
and some of these are used in every County
of the State, and the market value of each
can only be known by correct analyses. The
number OF these that have been made dur
ing the last eight months foot up TO nine.y &
three, and thirty of different varieties of
folders and fifty of milk.
Some very interesting experiments have
been conducted by the Station TO test the
value of mixed feed for cattle and to test the
value OF different breeds for butter and milk.
The details of these experiments are exceed
ingly interesting. There were six animals
selected i'm as many different herds in diff
ferent parts of the State The food. both in
quantity, kind and weight, wasalike in each
place and weighed out accurately. and the
cattle were weighed before and after the ex-
periments. The food IN each instance con-
sisted OF for the six head of cattle per day)
seventy-five pounds wheat straw. thirty-five
pounds clover hay. lis pounds brewers
grain lis pounds turnips, eleven and one
half pounds cottOnseed meal. This, at the
market price of the articles would make it
cost per head just eighteen cents. The ex-
pertinent was carried on sixteen days, and
the milk tested thirteen of these.
With a Jersey herd of six in Burlington,
another of the same number in Camden,
and still another of grades in Middlesex. the
Jersey cows averaged 1919 quarts of milk q
day in beth instances. This was found to
yield 14x per cent. of solid matter, of which
2l-100 per cent was butter, 1 93-10O per
cent of sugar and 3 S7-l00 of cheese. The
Jersey cattle did not vary per cent. in the
results, aud the milk of Jersey cows in Sus-
sex County gave within fraction of the
same results The yield from the grade
cows on the Collese Farm gave an average
of 10A quarts of milk per day, yielding Is
34-100 of solid matter, of which = was but
ter. 3 34-100 cheese, and S2-100 sugar.
The cattle, with one exception. improved
in weight, and by using the mixture of food
given above the expense of feeding was re-

Hints About Horses.


The horses stomach has a capacity for
only sixteen quarts, while that of an OK has
$50. In the intestines this proportion is re-
versed, the horse having capacity of 100
quarts against 100 of the OK. The OK and
most other animals have a gall-bladder for
a retention OF part of the bile secreted dur
ing digestion. The horse has none, and the
bile flows directly into the intestines as fast
as secreted. This construction of the digest
i've apparatus indicates that the horse was
formed to eat slowly and digest continually
bulky and innutritious food. When fed on
hay, il passes very rapidly through the stom-
ach into the intestine. The horse can eat
but five pounds of hay in an hour, which is
charged, during mastication, with four times
its weight of saliva. Now, the
stomach, to digest it well, will contain but
about ten quarts, and when the animal eats
one-third of his daily ration, or seven
pounds in one and half hours, he has
swallowed at least two stomachfuls of hay
and saliva, one of these having passed to the
intestine. Observation has shown that the
food is passed to the intestine by the stom-
ach in the order which ii is received. If we
feed horse with six quarts of oats, it will
Just fill his stomach. and, If as soon as he
finishes this, we feed him the above ration
of seven pounds of hay he will eat sufficient
in three-quarters of an hour to have forced
the oats entirely out of his stomach into
the intestine As it is the office of
the stomach to digest the heterogeneous
parts of the feed, and a. a stomachful
of oats contains four or five times as much
of these as the same amount of hay,
it is certain that either the stomach
must secrete the gastric juice five times as
fast, which is hardly possible, or it must re-
tain this food five times as long. By feeding
the oats first it can only be retained long
enough for the proper digestion of hay; con-
sequently, it seems logical, when feeding a
concentrated food like oats with a bulky one
like hay, to feed the latter first giving the
grain the whole time between the repas's TO
be digested. The digestion of a horse is gov
erned by the same laws as that of man.
and as we know that it is not best for a man
to go at hard work the moment hearty
meal is eaten, so we should remember that
horse ought to have little rest after his
meal while the stomach is most active in
the process of digestion.

Cob Meal.

A Doylestown pa correspondent says:
Cob meal has become a popular feed among
the farmers of this part of the country. A
great many who buy their cattle feed buy
the cob meal in preference To the corn meal.
There is a difference of fifteen and twenty
cents per 100 pounds between the price OF
the two articles, and that may be the reason
why some buy the cob meal in preference.
1t does not require much figuring TO prove
that in nutritive value a man gets more for
his money when he buys the clear corn meal
than when he buys the cob meal. On the
other hand, it does not require a great deal
of experimenting to show that the cob meal
possesses advantages in the matter OF diges-
ton and assimilation over the clear corn
meal when both are fed dry, either alone or
mixed with wheat bran. In some cases the
digestive superiority of the cob meal is an
easy Offset to the greater nutritive value,
bulk for bulk, of the clear meal"

In England the use of bean -four is said to
have been resorted TO in order to give due
tenacity and lightness to bread made from
damaged wheaton -four. Boiled rice was
employed to increase the quantity of bread
to be obtained from n sack of flour. A sack
of $50 pounds should yield, according TO
Letheby, ninety-fve four-pound loaves; but
by adding three or four pounds of rice,
boiled for several hours in as many gallons
of water, to the flour, at least 100 four-pound
loaves can be got-a gain of twenty pounds
OF bread, or more than D per cent. BY this
use of rice on boiled potatoes which, being
nearly pure starch, or perhaps even more
effectual than rice, the bread is indirectly
adulterated with water.

Sugar From Corn Stalks and Cane.
New England Farmer.


Professor Charles Dole OF the Norwich
University, Mortified, VT, has been expert
menti"g with stalks of the Sanford corn for
syrup making and gives his experience in
letter to the Green Mountain Freeman. He
finds the corn is not in is best condition for
sugar making till the ears are ut the right
age for boiling for table use, and from that
onward till it is fully ripe. His machinery
was quite crude, plain wooden rollers and
tubs for the juice, placed under them, and
not all the juice was obtained
but enough to warrant the expectation of a
yield of fifty or more gallons of good syrup
per acre, after the ears are harvested. The
Sanford is large white variety of field
corn. Professor Dole also experimental
with early amber cane, and found the syrup
of better quality, and larger yield per acre,
but the stalks are worth little for feeding,
compared TO. corn stalks, after the juice is
expressed. The amber cane has done so
well in New England the past season, that
many farmers will prepare for growing it on
larger scale next season.

The Casualty Record.
EIGHT LIVES IOsI.

A train ON the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul railroad was Thursday moving across
the trestle work over Mered0sia river, one
mile south OF Albany, Ill, when the trestle
gave way and the train was suddenly pre-
cipitated into the river. Eight persons were
drowned. The train consisted of engine,
tender, baggage car, passenger and sleeping
cars. All went down except the sleeper,
which hung over the end of the bridge at an
angle OF fOrty-fve degrees, the upper end
high in the air. Two cars hoated off down
stream. The passenger coach lodged against
On island four rods away. The baggage car
stuck in the middle of the stream about the
same distance. The engineer and fireman
went down in the cab, and nothing
has been seen since of the locomotive or
the men. The baggageman, brakeman, mes
senger and the conductor all escaped unin-
jured except the latter. Eleven passengers
were in the forward car OF these, two men
jumped ashore as the floating car passed an
abutment Of the wagon bridge Another
man leaped but fell back and was drowned.
A woman and one child and boy were tax
en- of the roof of the car after it had lodged
at the island, and the other six passengers
were drowned, together with the engineer
and fireman. There were only three pas
sengers in the sleeper, and they, together
with the colored porter, climbed out Of the
rear end and escaped uninjured.
TWO TERRIBLE EXPLOSIONS.
A powder magazine situated in West STRAIT
ford. about three miles from Bridgeport,
Conn, Containing about 1000 kegs of powder,
exploded Thursday. causing panic in the
vicinity, but no loss of life. The damage to
buildings about the city is estimated at about
$4,000. The buildings were shaken about
the city as by shock of earthquake, people
were thrown from their feet, and plate glass
and small windows broken in many places.
The widest excitement prevailed for time.
The cause of explosion is supposed to have
originate with two men in the vicinity Of
the magazine, who were engaged in shooting
a rifle.
On Thursday morning, two terrible and
almost simultaneous explosions occurred
from nitro-glycerine in the nitro vaults OF
the Dittmar Powder Works of Binghamten,
N. Y. About five minutes afterward 10,
600 pounds of sporting powder in store
house about 100 feet from the nitre vaults
ignited, and caused another terrific explo-
sion. Buildings were demolished and scat
tered in every direction, and property de
stroyed for miles around. Fences were
blown TO splinters, trees uprooted, many
buildings in the neiGhborhood badly shatter-
ed and windows two and three miles away
blown cut by the conclusion. The shock
was distinctly felt forty miles away. The
main magazine, which was under ground,
and contains about twelve tons OF powder,
was uninjured. No one was seriously hurt.
The man in charge of the nitro vaults discov-
cred fire caused by improper mixture OF
acids, warned the others and fled before the
explosions occurred.
