why RaIs stoekt

Every farmer is accustomed to salt his cat.
tie, but not every one knows why he does it,
unless it be because the stock like it. But q
moments thought will show where the advan-
tage lies As soon as food enters the stomach,
the natural tendency is at once for fermenta-
ton to begin, and there arises contest be-
tween this tendency and the digestive pow
ers. Aud if these powers are vigorous and
the process of fermentation is checked or in
tereepted, then no bad results will follow, the
food will be digested and salt will not be
needed, though at any time this will assist in
the process of digestion. Salt keeps food
from decaying, until it can be digested and
assimilated, and prolongs the time to allow
the digestive organs to complete their work,
and If food has been taken in excess, as often
happens when stock is at pasture, salt given
frequently will be of much advantage. Aud
further, salt is preventive of worms. When
fermentation sets in, the conditions presented
are favorable to the existence of worms in the
intestinal carals, and may possibly be engen-
dered by the process. Consequently it should
be rule with stockmen to keep salt before
their cattle or within reach when they need
it, and the cattle will obey the demands of
nature and supply the want as needed

From the New England FArmerI
Since the introduction of the roller pro-

instead of grinding it between the mill.
stones, farmers who fed bran have noticed
that the roller process cleans 1t more thor.
oughly of its starchy PARTICLES giving prod
uct that certainly looks to be of less value
for feeding than the bran from the milestone
system of grinding. Some farmers here in
the east, who have formerly fed bran or
shorts quite freely TO their dairy COWS, have
become 80 distrustful OF the new process
bran that they have discontinued its use en-.
tirely, or have it fed far less freely. The
roller process bran is coarser, and looks and
feels more like sawdust than does that from
the old prOoe g. But looks are sometimes
very deceptive. 1t has been one of the tricks
of the trade, practioed for many years past.

The agricultural experiment station con-

roller process bran differs from the old

so that, in spite of its unpromisinR appear.
anee, the roller bran must be more valuable
as feed than the old process bran, particu-
larry il fed with the ordinary coarse folders
of the farm which are deficient in protein.
Eastern cattle feeders, who have been &C
customed to buying large quantities of bran
for feeding their animals, should therefore
not discard the roller bran without testing its
value by actual trial aud comparison with the
old process goods. Il should be remembered
that bran has high manurial value IN addi-

DR.. Collier, the ex. chief chemist Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, contributes to the
Greenfield Gazette a Courier an article col
umn and half in length on the sorghum su
gar industry, the main portion Of which we
give in another place. His confidence that
sorghum sugar can be economically produced
in the northern states seems TO be little
abated by the slow progress that has been
made in it's manufacture. The eminent ser
vices of DR. Collier as a chemist, in his ef-
forts 10 discover some way Of producing prof
itably at home, instead of importing, the i'm
Oense quantities of sugar which we require,
should be appreciated; yet the facts are not
encouraging to the belief that we can at pres.
ent, II ever, compete with the countries where
sugar production has its natural home-in the
tropical climates. Out OF the many attempts
to make sugar in this country from beets, but
one factory, and that in California, was in
operation last year. After many years of
trial, with aid from the national treasury the
total product Of sorghum sugar reaches only
about 200, 900 pounds against 2, $50 600 600
pounds of sugar imported last year, and for
this year it will not probably exceed one
pound in 5000 of the whole amount Of sugar
consumed in the United States
The people now pay an annual tax of about
$50, 600, 600 on sugar. II this tax is continu-
ed to protect the manufacturers Of sorghum

This is the most economical method of
feeding up straw, stalks, second quality hay,
etc. By emitting these coarser folders and
mixing them with meal or bran almost every
particle will be eaten. But another point is
gained Such folders uncut are hard to d.
gest, and a large bulk must be eaten to get
even enough TO sustain animal life and warmth
through the winter. Any assistance we can
give to digestion by previous preparation of
the fodder is so much help to the animal, and
this. when milk or fat is looked for, is an i'm
portant consideration. Straw becomes a nu
tritious article Of diet when little meal or
bran is mixed with it, and few pounds Of
middlings will make it the equivalent in feed
ing value to hay. When grain is plenty and
bay is scarce the part which oat straw plays
in the feeding ration is worth considering
When much stock is kept, large cutter
should be provided and enough cut at time
to last several days. Two or three farmers
can combine and purchase large cutter thus
saving expense. But for few head OF stock
q common hand strsw-cutter will be sufficient

Experiments with sorghum

The experiments in the application of diff
fusion and carbonitatiOn to sorghum cane
made at Ottawa, Kan, by the Commissioner
of Agriculture have been completed Prof.
Wiley, who was in charge of these expert
ments, says in his preliminary report that
the yield of sugar from the cane was more
than 80 per cent, only 0.12 Of one per cent
being left in the waste waters and exhausted
chips. The yield of crude sugar, that is, as it
comes from the vacuum pan, went as high as
$50 pounps per ton, or, at ~ pounds per gal
lon, 1913 gallons per ton, result fully double
that obtained by the ordinary methods. The
process Of carbonitation, the adding of a
large excess of lime to the juice, and then
pTecipitating it with earbonio acid, was CON-
pletely successful. The product obtained
was lighter in color and more pGlatable than
that of the usual method hitherto practiced,
while the saving in seums is estimated TO be
at least zen per cent The difficulties en-.
countered were entirely of a mechanical nat
ure, and easily overcome. Scientific Ameri

commended by the New York Tribune TO sta
tistics relating to this subject sent from Ger
many by Mr.. Harper, a United States consul
there. 1t is shown that since 1876, less than
ten years ago, there has been an increase of
l52, GAG acres of forest in Germany, a result
brought about by replanting common and
waste land. Surely there is encouragement
here even for those who care nothing for pos

fear they will never live TO enjoy the shade.

swEETER THAN SUGAR.

Last year there we're made ~ analyses of
the juices of sugar canes grown in Louisiana,
and "a analyses Of the juices of sorghums
grown in Washington, D. c., and the average
results showed content of sugar in the sor-
ghum juices of l4.76 per cent and in the su-
gar cane juices of 1906 per cent
These results, which are practically identi-
cal with those obtained by me and published
in 1879, indicate the presence in ton OF sor-
ghum cane of 260 pounds of sugar, and of
$50 pounds Of sugar in ton of sugar cane.
One of the leading sugar refners of the
country, in recent letter, says ~ for my
part have no doubt that in the hands of q SCI
entiic and practical person the production of
sugar from sorghum plants will be q very
profitable business )" and one of the largest
sugar planters of Louisiana assures me that
'if only the sorghum men can rely upon an
average of 80 pounds of sugar TO the ton of
cane, they can successfully compete with su-
gar cane as an economical source of sugar"
