uum Of previous food has been eliminated
from the animal, the dung is carefully col
lected for several days, weighed and an
layzed. From the data thus obtained it can
be calculated how much of such crude nu
TRENT passes through the animal undiges
ted. The animals were placed in the barn on
Nov. %, and for the following six days were
fed with corn slower, and its digestibilty
was to be determined, being given oil they
could eat The experiment proper began
on Dec. 3, the preliminary feeding continu-
ing nino days This was followed by four
consecutive periods of tivesdays each, dur
ing which the dung excreted was collected
and weighed daily. At first Is pounds of
fodder (stover) were weighed out for each
animal. 1t was soon found necessary TO re-
duce this amount, however, and on Dec. s
it was changed to Is pounds, and reduced
again on Dec. II to Is pounds. Even then
a portion was uneaten, the daily consump-
ton averaging less than II pounds; but the
portion uneaten were carefully weighed
a" d analysed. The animals were weighed
at noon before receiving wateF. They were
then watered aud weighed again. The
first period of five days one steer gained Is
pounds and the other 81 pounds, but this
gradually lessened, the gain for the first
steer in thirty days being 10 pounds and for
the second steer only 2 pounds, due to the
smaller amount eaten near the end, the food
being entirely of corn slower. The quaint
ty of water drank varied from % to 36
pounds for each animal. The experiment
was not conducted with the view of noting
the gain, but to determine how much of the
food was digested, and how much went into
the manure. In periods one and two the
first steer consumed 1926 ounces of dry
matter, of which l00.50 ounces were di
ge5ted, or about 90 per cent, leaving 80 per
cent. as the proportion that passes through
the body. The value or all food depends
upon how much of it will be digested, and
yet the experiment is not conclusive, as the
steers were given the slower alone, which
they ate readily at first, increasing rapidly,
but fell off as the dislike for it approached.
Probably had they been given a variety of
food they would have eaten moro of the
slower. AS the gain for the entire period
was but little the food consumed evidently
was appropriated for the repair of the sys-
tenn, as it could not be otherwise elm
mated.

Sailing and Curing Hay.

A few weeks ago, says the Florida Agri-
culturist, we asked for some information
about sailing hay. William Koss, living
near DeLand, but formerly a successful
Pennsylvania farmer, called on us last week
and enlightened us on the subject.
He said that he always sailed his hay
when packing it away, using about Is
pounds to the ton, and has always met with
good success, both IN Florida and his former
home.
During his conversation on this subject
he said that it was mistaken idea to sup
pose that hay needed so much sun to cure
it. He has made some very fine crab grass
hay during the past two or three years, and
this is the way he goes about it:
The grass was cut early in the morning
and allowed to lie until noon, when it was
raked into wind-rows and left until after
noon, being turned once in the meantime.
1t was then either piled up into small cocks
or taken TO the barn, where it was spread
in layers on the floor or loft, slightly
packed and treated to a liberal dressing of
salt This was followed by other layers un-
til the barn was full. Mr. Kloss said that
to great extent the hay retained its nat
ural color, was always sweet and never
nodded.
Mr.. Kloss has also met with good success
III making pea vine hay in Florida. He
cuts the vines aad piles them in small cocks,
leaving them there until tho thickest part
of the stems are w.l;ed--not dried entirely
up. The vines are then spread on the barn
floor in layers about IS inches thick,
tramped slightly and well sprinkled with
salt This hay, he says, retains all Of the
leaves, never rots or moulds and is greatly
relishod by stock. He thinks that tho
greatest difficulty in tho way Of making
good hay in Florida is that 1t is allowed 10
remain in our hot semi-troplcal sun too
long.
We would like 20 hear from other practi-
cal hsy makers on this subject Of curing
bay

Farm and Stock Notes.

Josiah Hoops says, In the New York
Tribune, that all specimens of evergreens
without regard to species) should have an
annual shearing, and midsummer Is prefer
able for it.
The farmer who thinks that to make
money he must go where land is cheaper
should consider well if he would not make
more money by making the land he has
deeper and richer.
Moles are sometimes useful as protectors
of strawberry vines. An Indiana fruit
grower considers them Invaluable. He
puts about twelve moles in a flve-acre
patch every season to catch the grubs, and
they do the work. Since he tried the expo
riment he states that he has not had a vine
injured by the grubs or moles

Eighteen years ago, when the air-brake

years later the time was reduced four sec

brake on freight trains show that il can be

How to apply Stable Manure.

A correspondent of the Farm uad Fire
side says: l have made the question OF
fertilizers and how to apply them serious
study for years. The favorite dressing
with mo is well-rotted stable manure and
unleached ashes OF course we all know
the value of stable manure, but how to ap-
ply 1t is the question. One of the first dis
coveries | made was that horse-stable man
ure was coed non-cOnductor of heat.
With this fact as basis, was able to make
many useful experiments. have variety
of soils on my farm-sand, red clay, sandy
loan, blue clay and black muck. By giving
the sand, which has a tendency to dry out,
good mulching of coarse manure, could
keep it cool and moist. If you will thrust
a thermometer into the ground where 1t IS
bare on a hot, summer day, and then
thrust it into the soil under heavy mulch
ing, you will find the muched ground from
TO- to 20' cooler. BY blowing under heavy
dressing Of coarse manure on heavy clay
soil, and thus putting a layer of non-con-
Quoting material between the cold earth be-
meath and the layer of soil above, | could
make it as warm and dry as l pleased.
Thea, if you mulch heavy, wet soil, you
will make it heavier and wetter still. Plow
it under and you will render the soil warm
er and drier.
Now by studying the wants of your
plants, and applying these principles, you
can obtain The best results. If you wish to
raise melons or squashes on heavy ground,
put the manure under the hill If you
| ,lN,x-r
light, dry SOIL mulch it. The reason why
so many different results have been OBJ
tanned from top-dressing and blowing I'M
der Is on account of soil and climate 1t
would be nonsense TO pillow under coarse
manure for Irish potatoes in Tennessee, or
mulch the ground in northern Michigan.
