Corn and Cob Meal .

Among the recently reported expert
ments tried at the Iowa Agricultural Col
lege was one to test the relative value of
corn meal and the meal of corn and cobs
ground together in fattening swine. The
first experiment was made with animals
in the last stages of fattening. Pigs of the
same breed and the same age, and as nearly
IS possible the same weight, were selected
and fed one week to sccustom them to the
food selected. They were then given all
they could eat up clean, half of them corn
meal and half OF corn and cob meal, the
grain being carefully weighed, and also the
hogs at the end of each week for two
weeks, when they were sold.
The corn and cob meal, seventy pounds
to the bushel, made 1905 pounds of pork
per bushel, and fifty pounds of the clear
corn meal made 1l.07 pounds to each BUSH
ell fed. The hogs were sold at s. so per
cwt and gave 1919 cents per bushel for
the corn ground with the cob, and Al 81
cents for the clear corn. The experiment
= s repeated with lot OF hogs in the early
stages Of fattenlug, aud returned 40 90
cents for the corn and cob meal, and "A 81
cents for the corn meal, reckoning pork at
s.. so. This result may seem strange to
many of our readers and many will doubt
It's accuracy, as there is little or no nuri-
ment in the cob of corn. Bat its che mical
value lies in the fact that it seems to aid
the gastric Juice to act on the corn meal,
and thus secures more complete diges
ton. The use of coarse food. as hay and
corn fodder, is thus found to be OF value
to stock, aside from the actual nutrimen
that it supplies.

White Grubs in Wheat.

In reply to a correspondent who sent
specimens of a white grub said to be In ur-
ing wheat, DR.. j. A. Lintner writes as fol-
lows. 1--WE suspect from the method of To-
comotion mentioned, that the insect may
belong to the genus hgyrusl:
Il know of no way, without sacrificing
the crop, to arrest the present attack. The
grubs had been in the grass of the meadow
for the two previous years of their exist
ence, and in the breaking up of the in
tested sod they should have been killed by
the application of gas lime; brought to the
surface by repeated plouglhngs, and ex-
posed to their natural enemies, or starved
to death by following, or removed by
thorough dragging of all that might serve
them as food. A crop Of corn, following
Immediately grub-infested meSdow, is
apt TO prove an entire loss. IL, after
heavy rains, the grubs appear above
ground, poultry turned in upon them
would largely reduce their numbers,
The method of locomotion of these grubs
referred to is an interesting sight. In
some experiments made with the speci-
mems sent, as soon as they uncurled from
their natural positions at rest, they rolled
over upon their backs and in that position
travelled over the blotting-pad upon my
table with the utmost ease. st the rate of,
es by measurements made, fifteen inches
per minute. Their three pairs of long and
well jointed legs we're extended above
them and beating the air, for if brought in
use for locomotion, they would only have
been an impeachment to them. They, how
ever, serve the purpose for which they are
peculiarly designed in their subterranean
travels among the roots of the plants upon
which they subsist.
