Feeding MenI Wei or Dry.

Was ever anything shown by an expert
ment, that another experiment would not
tend to discredit Farmers who examine
many books or papers will read first that a
thing is so, and then that it is not so. The
only way to arrive at correct conclusions is
to use your own judgment and not believe
too much, remembering that n single ex-
pertinent proves nothing, even when made
by competent person who takes into con
sderation all the circumstances affecting its
value. Even a hundred experiments would
prove nothing, if fifty tended to show one
thing and fifty the contrary. Thousands
of farmers have had experience in feeding
meal, both dry and wet to milch cows, and
the testimony Of very large majority is
that wetting the meal increases the yield of
milk. Yet two correspondents of Hoard's
Dairyman give the details of experiments
in feeding meal to milch cows. in which
wetting the meal, in each case, seemed to
diminish the quantity of milk The ac-
count of the second experiment is as fol
