Experiment i'm Feeding.

The feeding of coarse fodder at a
profit is subject of vital Importance to
farmers. Last fall, having larger
quantity of coarse fodder than usual,
| thought | would try the expert
ment of feeding ii to my milch
COWS. The experiment has been con-
Quoted by weighing both grain and
hay. that | could know Just what results
| obtained. By having IA better knowl-
edge of the relative value of different
kinds of feed it will sometimes enable
the feeder to double. and sometimes
treble, the results obtained by the ordi-
nary guess-work system of feeding. In
these days farmers are required to give
more definite statements in regard to
feeding than to merely raise barn full
of hay. and then feed it to their stock,
and that all they know about it, so far as
the profits are concerned. | have six
COWS giving milk; three of them are
from six TO eight years old, the others
are heifers. For the last two months
their feed has been one hundred pounds
of intervale hay and cut straw, equal
parts IA day, or one ton in twenty-one
days, with Sl0.50 worth of cottonseed
meal and shorts. The daily feed of
grain is seven pounds day to each COW,
one and three-fourths pounds each, meal
and shorts. morning and night. With
this feed they have averaged from each,
twenty-one days of milking, 81 pounds
of butter, besides the milk used in
family of ten persons; this butter ! sold
for 33 cents per pound, amounting to
S2G.72. The cost of feed is reckoned at
SO per ton for the hay and straw, (Which
is more than the buyers are paying) and
the meal and shorts at Sl0.50. total
$3.50, as cost of feed for twenty-one
days, giving a profit of Sl3.23 from each
ton of hay, the $1,000 worth of grain

Plain Talk.

Laying aside, for the present, the adj
vantages and disadvantages of prohibi-
ton, or It's general desirability, we
must say that this silly howl about the
non-enforcement Of prohibitory laws is
the greatest drivel that ever disgraced
Intellectual men. such laws are quite
IS effective as any other enactments,
and the laws against murder, THEFT

vent, they simply restrain the many by
Furnishing the few. Laws against

EnlSilage.

Editor Register and .jOu1nol: The
reports of experiments in ensilaging
have been so uniformly good. as re-
corded in the papers, the question
naturally arises, "What, if any, are the
drawbacks to this system?" There evil
IDENTITY must be some, though very few
thus far have appeared in the ensilage
column; and hence few mild criti-
cisms upon reports given and the sys-
tenn generally will be novel, if not
profitable, reading.
This will be done with no cynical in
tent, as the writer is not opposed to
the system, but believes in "making
haste slowly" in new things.
While successful parties only make
reports in print, will the thousands, it
may be asked, who read the same, and
who are waiting for more light, really
get at the true inwardness of the
system? Let successes and failures be
alike prominent before the public, and
better judgment will be insured.
The exlravagant estimates, if not
statements, bearing upon the subject
are misleading. Witness the follow
ing: From Is reports, first at hand
and largely found in the American
CUHiUdtOr, an average of the estimates
made would give us 40 1.2 tons of corn
slower to the acre. The actual amount
raised by these Is experimenters, as
reported, was an average of 16 clio
tons per acre. Such rash estimates,
while perhaps not misleading to prac-
teal farmers, naturally detract from
the general II ustworthiness of the ex-
periments themselves. Granting en-
silage may be preserved as claimed,
and that stock eat and apparently
thrive on the same for the time, these
facts do not positively settle the ques-
ton as to its permanent utility as a
food. Whisky is relished and makes
man look fat, while the seeds OF death
are being sown. This is not fair
comparison, and yet acetic acid in en-
silage, while palatable, may still work
slowly and constantly to the animals
harm in the the long run. VINO knows
certainly yet?
Eighty-six per cent of ensilage is
water, while dried corn stalks contain
but fifteen per cent. Thus, a silo of
100 tons capacity, when filled, contains
sc tons of water. The handling of so
much water in food must eventually
be regarded as one OF the drawbacks to
the system. Like the steaming of food
for stock, which was once highly
recommended, so now preparing and
feeding ensilage on large scale will
be attended with extra expense and
labor; and. in the long run, may also
be regarded as another of the draw
backs.
The Latin poet, Horace, who loved
agriculture, remarks that farmer
should be producer and seller, and
not buyer Of produce. Feeding
corn ensilage generously would require
a large amount of concentrated food in
grain of some kind. This must be
bought OF raised. In the latter case
the farmer would have on hand
straw and corn stalks, which, with bis
ensilage, would give him too great q
proportion OF non-albuminous food fol

are in Indiana. All intelligent men
know this. TO send man through a
prohibition State, housing out places
where liquor is slyly sold, and loaded
up to the muzzle with anti-prohibition
bubbles. is like sending man who
wants TO find thieves into low dens of
any great city. In either case he is
sure to find them, and it is, in both
cases, discredtable to the men who
sneakinglv evade or fracture the law.
The usefulness of prohibition is an
other question, but prohibitory laws
are fairly enforced, aud every intelli-
gent American knows it, Indian
dpotis Republican.
