PROF. HENRY, of the Wisconsin Ex-
perimental Farm, holds that 1t is wise
economy on the part of the farmer who
has great straw stack, q small herd of
cattle, and some hay, and who will not
enlarge his herd, to sell the hay at 81 or
So per ton, and spend the money In buy
ing bran at 81 and $12 and feed it with
the straw, together with some oil-meal.
Good bright straw is made equal to hay
by the addition of the proteine in the
bran and meal, and the whole is thus
made into far better quality of ma
nure, than usually comes from the usual
way of feeding the hay, and half-wasting
the straw.
