Westerners took Changers freely on the i'm
proved condition of things in that region, and
several OF the newly formed pools were actively
at work in their favOrit IS. which were the only
stocks showing any decided strength during the
day. Chicago Gas was again the most con
spicuous of these. and 1t scored gain of 8 per

displayed any marked strength, while among
the specialties Rio Grande and Western pre-
ferred and LaClade were prominent for the ad

number of stocks. though there was less trading

feed trough" or anywhere else. But
we're it possible to dry this corn, or if
you were to leave it to ripen in the
field, which, being Giant Southern corn,
it won't do at the North, you would
thereby lose half of its value.
The natural food of all cattle is green
her5age, and they have hard time to
get through our winters on dry fodder.
They have no stomachs fit for it, even
when steamed. Therefore, to give them
their own fresh food in winter, in q
warm Enclosure, is to make it summer
for them all the year. The result is
that they are bright, sleek and healthy,
and give June milk and butter in
February" But if the corn could be
ripened and so dried no amount of
steam could make it green, milky herb
age again. Steam can not resurrect the
dead. When the cellulose, albumen,
protoplasm, starch, gums, sugars, ETC.,
have turned to wood fiber or dry skins
or hard granules, half of their value is
gone and can never be restored. Let
the cattle have the choice, and they will
settle the question in favor of the en-
silage every time.-Country Gentleman.
