Horse Bres ding VS.. Farming.


The cheap lands ia the Northwest make
it impossible for Kentucky and Tennessee
farmers 10 compete in the markets OF the
country with the ordinary products Of the
farm. Breeding fine and fancy stock is
wdst farmers in the high priced lands Of
kentucky aud Tennessee have TO do, and
il will pay a better percentage than any
thing else connected with farming. Horses
brought better prices the past year han any
o; her cisss of stock raised in Kentucky or
tennessee. They sold higher than any
previous year, especially thoroughbreds. At
present ruliUg prices, horse breeding,
either thoroughbred, trotter, harness CT
co ,ch horse, or shorEhorns Of high quality
TO top herd, pays better than feeding cat
lie OF ordinary farming. 1t is quite time
that farmers In Kentucky and tennessee
made q change, banished to a great extent
the feeding OF bullocks, sCeep and hogs
from lands that are 50 well adapted for
breeding higher and more remuusrstiVe
class of stock. With the present price Of
land in Kentucky aud Tennessee farmers
cannot make profit by the production Of
meats and bread for the markets. They
are as q rule undersold by farmers in the
cheap lands of the Northwest. Raising
high class stack is better business than
feeding cattle, sheep and hogs, or tilliug
the ground TO grow corn aud grain.

The Comparative Value of EnsilaSe.
MIR York Star,

At the annual meeting OF the New York
S.ste Agricultural Society, recently held,
DR.. Sturteyaut, director Of the State Ex'
pertinent Station, read o paper on expert.
men,s with eusilsge. His conclusions,
reached through feeding experiments car
ried on at the station, as to the food value
of fodder corn ensilsge, are as follows:
L may be allowed, in conclusion, to refer
to the result Of SEINE figures
bearing upon the TODD value of
ensilsgs when fed as an adjunct to
other foods. When the ration was Is
pounds of sn even mixture Of meal and
bran, together with about IS pounds of en-,
silage daily, snd this compared with the
same amount of grain with 30 pounds OF
the sane dried older, which put IN the silo
formed the ensilsge, aud the same amount
of grain with 20 pounds OF hay, the fol
lowing conclusions were justified BY our
results, viz: that 20 pounds of fodder corn
was the equivalent OF 20 pounds Of the en-
silsge. or g pounds Of hay, Expressing
these results in tabular form, using 100
pounds as the unit for comparison, we
have:
One hundred pounds Of eusilage was the
equivalent of 90 pounds Of fodder corn.
One hundred pounds of eusilsge VAS the
equivalent of 26 pounds of hay.
Oae hundred pounds of fodder corn was
the equivalent OF 262 pounds of ensilsgs.
One hundred pounds Of fodder corn was
tie equivalent of 90 pounds Of hay.
One hundred pounds Of hay was the
equivalent Of 3Sl pounds Of eusllsge.
One hundred pounds Of hay was the
equivalent OF AS poundsOf fodder corn.
From this table the value Of ensilsge
can readily be calculated when used as an
adjunct food under the circumstances as
stated, and the relative values OF our hay
and our fodder corn can also bs observed. |
Our present experience seems to Justify |
The belief that in addition 10 hay and grain |
about IS pounds of ensilsge can be fed
Gsily per Gov to advantage, as with this
feeding we seem to obtain not only the
nutritive value Of the ensilsge, but also Its !
value in influencing the sp- |
petite of the animal

featuring and mining districts.
West Virginia has not been favored with
many railroads, but che has had SIS much
discrimination in rates as she wants,
Trade and industries that should have
sprung up and aourished in our State have
been given to MARYLAND, Ohio, Pennsylva'
MIA and other States. Merchandise has
been carried from Baltimore to Cincinnati
ard other western towns at the same rates
that il has been carried from West Viz
sinis towns 200 miles farther west, to the
came points. Also Cincinnati and other
Wes,eru cities have shipped their products
to eastern cities cheaper than West Vir'
ginia could ship them. So West Virgins
has remained in the woods and sorroWtully
watched her more fortunate sisters leaving
her far behind in the race Of prosperity.
Il ia getting to be o pretty mess when
the towns Of our own State can not profit
ably trade with one another. While the
people along the line of the F. VI. i T,
railroad may regard with satisfaction the
csespness ofrates to points outside Of theil
State, yet the shoe that feels so easy OF
one side of the foot will pinch the othel
eide, and it may ct times pinch hard, too.
Whether the above report is true or not
the subject ought to interest our Chamber
OF Commerce.
