Farm Notes.

The average results of expert
ment and theory, so to speak, make
81 pounds of Indian corn equal to
100 pounds of hay, or 1140 pounds OF
corn to the ton of hay. But it must
be remembered that the nutritive eff
fects of food upon an animal are va
ried by many causes, and also that
the comparison of foods is effected
by the object sought, as fat, growth,
labor, milk, etc. The above is the
relative amount of nutritive matter
in corn and hay, as determined by
experiment and theory.
AT strengthening of Merinos
at Oakland, Mich, the heaviest
1leeces shorn were "a pounds, 8
ounces % pounds, Is ounces II
pounds, 3 ounces. The weight of
the sheep were in the same order, as
follows; 129 pounds, 1144 pounds
and 112 pounds, respectively, the
heaviest sheep shearing the largest
fieeces. At Sedalia, Mo-, at q similar
shearing, the three heaviest 6eeces
were Sc pounds, 4 ounces I; 81 pounds,
4 ounces; and % pounds, IA ounces.
The weight of the sheep were 1856
pounds, 15s pounds and 1864 pounds.
Mr.. w. w. Brown, of Slater, No.,
made the following shearing from
Cotswolds. Six rams one year old
this spring as follows: &c pounds.
22a pounds. 214 pounds, 201 pounds,
