FEEDING ENSILAGE AND RE
SUITS.

"a notable result of ensilage feed
ing was brought out in one of the trials
conducted by the writer, where it was
observed that cows when fed on dry
fodder-corn drank on an average
e~ighty-one pounds of water per day,
while other COWS at the same time fed
on ensilage from the same fodder-corn
drank only thirteen pounds Of water
per day on the average.
ain some instances ensilage fed
COWS went five days without drinking,
though water was offered them daily.
"The writer does not believe in the
exclusive use of ensilage for the coarse
part Of the ration. It is true cattle
have been fed two or three winters in
succession with no other food than
some kind of ensilage with grain, but
such trials show that the method is
possible rather than advisable. No
animal Graves and needs a variety of
food more than the dairy COW, and the
feeder should cater to the appetite of
his herd. A good dairy COW giving
a large flow Of milk is producing an
amount of human food which. we
hardly realize unless we stop to calcu-
late it. It will be found that although
a COW may eat ensilage for the bulk of
her food all winter through, she will
nevertheless show a strong liking for
other kinds, especially for some dry
material. fA
Of ordinary ensilage Is to IS
pounds given with from four to ten
pounds of hay or corn fodder will be
ample if a reasonable grain ration is
fed. 1t is useless to give exact weights
| of food required because ensilage itself
is variable in composition. If ensilage
is made of good fodder corn with a
fair amount of ears less will be re-
| quired than if the fodder is grown
| solely to produce the greatest number
of pounds gross weight. to the acre.
Such ensilage being composed largely
of water must be fed heavily to satisfy
| the demands of the animal. The
water contents of ensilage runs from
70 to IS per cent; this large amount
of water should be remembered in
making up the ration.
"Since the corn plant is rich in
carbohydrates bat lacking in nitrogen,
when we come to the concentrated
portion of the ration we should en-
deavor to supply some food rich in
nitrogen. For this reason bran, shorts
or middlings constitute one of the best
foods; ground grain, such as oats,
barley or rye, are also valuable. The
amount of the concentrated portion of
the ration should vary from five to
eight pounds per head per day. For
a COW in full flow Of milk we may
feed then, say thirty-fve pounds Of
ensilage, even pounds of hay, and
seven pounds of bran daily. For
steer feeding we have obtained excel
lent results from corr ensilage with
out any grain whatever, getting a
gain of a pound and one-half a day
with three-year old steers with ensi-
lagge only, while the gain has run to
four pounds a day for a period of five
weeks when a heavy grain ration was
fed along with ensilage to good three
year old steers. The amount of ensi-
lage consumed by the steers varied
from fifty pounds a day with grain to
seventy a day without grain."-Prof
Henry, IN Breeders Gazette.

the COWS that can be kept in good
condition for beef at any time you
may want to use them. Be sure to
avoid living in a Northern mans
pocket-crib, meat-house orplant food
mortgages. That which is well
done always pays the cheerful farmer.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
seei stated that the Commissioners have re-
ported to the Senate that ffty-nine school rooms
are rented at an annual rental OF 81 O56 which is
an average OF 80 per room. Now a new eight
room building and site costs about 3D. 900, or an
average OF "a, 375 per room site included The In
terest on this at 3 per cent fOr which the Govern
ment can get all the money IL Will take) would be
$685., saving OF $40 IA per room, as compared
with the rent paid and this on the fifty -nine rooms
would amount 10 s., 72l.2 % per annum-enouyh TO
pay several teachers. When you add to thi, he
TACT as stated by the school board and su erin.
tendent that these rented rooms are dark damp
have no ventilation, and In fact ''are unfit for
use, 1t would seem to be very poor policy in every
sense TO continue the renting OF these rooms IL
would be far better, financially, mentally, and
morally, for the Governme at TO advance enough
out Of that troublesome surplus In the Treasury TO
build all the buildings required, and let the Dts
trict repay its share in time. But inasmuch as
the Government has never provided any public
school fund for the District as It has the states
It would not be at all out OF the way for the GOV
