to the fact that they cannot be grazed on

Apple Pomace as silage.

1t is commonly claimed that apple
pomace has no feeding value, and the
practice at nearly all the cider mills of
leaving the pomace unused shows that
this belief in it's worthlessness is wide
spread. AS chemical analysis shows
that there is considerable feeding ma
terial in pomace it was undertaken at the
Vermont experiment station to find out
whether this is so. AS the pomace from
the mill would not keep, it was deter
mined to put it into the silo, and see if
by exclusion of the air it could be pre-
served. The result was perfect sue
cess About six tons of pomace were
put into small silo, each load was lev
eled and tramped down firmly, and
when the last load was in the whole was
allowed to stand and heat to about 80
dogs.
1t was then covered and weighted with
stones, about fifty pounds to the square
foot. The heat decreased at once, and
when the cover was removed a month
later the pomace was in a state of per-
feet preservation and so remained DUR
ing all the weeks of it's feeding. The
took it in preference to any other fodder
that could be given them, and ate it all
before beginning on hay or corn fodder,
which was usually given with it. There
was no decrease in the milk flow, as has
often been claimed to be the result of
feeding apples or pomace, and it was
thought it gave the full feeding value, as
indicated by chemical analysis. Ten
pounds a day were fed in two feeds of
five pounds each, night and morning.
The result as given in the above ex-
pertinent will hardly be sufficient to
change preconceived opinions as to the
value of pomace as food for mich
COWS. The feeds were small, five pounds
each night and morning, usually with
hay or corn fodder, and caused no de-
crease in the flow of milk Nothing
definite is given as to its fesh-forming
value. Alternating with larger feeds
would seem necessary to fully test its
effects.

Look After the Manure.

No animal except the sheep drops its
manure SO that it does not need break
ing to pieces for more even distribution
over the soil. Even the sheep will hud-
die together at night, and drop their
manure too much in one place: but this
is usually on the highest part of the
field that generally most needs to be
fortified. An exchange suggests to
farmers that wherever cattle and horses
have pastured during summer, the clods
of manure they have scattered over the
surface should be broken up in the fall
This uncovers the grass that Is smothered
beneath them, and at the same time re-
leases the manure for use on a wider
area, where it will be carried down to
grass roots by rains and melting SHOWS,
and will result in a larger and more
vigorous growth next season.

FARM, FIELD AND GARDEN.
OBSERVATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
CONCERNING EVERYDAY MATTERS.

Tho Three Indispensable Requisites in Sue
cessful Cultivation-The Whole Mystery
of the Beneficial Effects Of an Oft Re-
peated Stirring of the Soil.
There are three Indispensable requi-
sites in successful cultivation. First,
the ground should be sufficiently fertile
and in a suitable condition for the re-
ception of the seed; second, the young
plants must be protected from being
overshadowed and robbed of their neces-
sary sustenance. by other plants; and,
third, the best conditions for their devel-
opment into complete maturity should
be furnished during their season of
growth. The necessity of keeping cul-
tivated crops free from weeds goes with
out saying. A rich field, planted with
corn, if left uncultivated, would soon be
overrun and swamped with weeds and
yield only the scantiest crop of ears at
the season of maturity. Clean cultiva-
ton is, therefore, one of the prime ne
cessities of successful farming.
Exemption from weeds, however, will
not of itself insure profitable crop. By
hoeing and cultivating the ground on
which the crop is growing not only are
the plants themselves protected from the
presence of hurtful weeds, but the soil
in which they grow is put into condi-
ton favorable for their development.
The intelligent farmer does not use the
hoe or cultivator simply to keep down
the weeds. Weeds are nuisance any
where, but a continued drought is even
more effective in hindering the growth
of crops.
Another of the necessities of all plants,
whether useful or noxious, is moisture.
In seasons when the natural supply is
limited or cut off by climatic conditions
we cannot control, the soil itself contains
reserve stores that can only be utilized
by judicious cultivation. Right here Gull
tivation performs two offices. 1t kills
the weeds that would otherwise rob the
plants and it arrests the moisture that
without it would escape into the air and
leave the plants to perish from drought.
The water that is taken up by the roots
of plant passes through it, giving it
sustenance, and is afterwards exhaled
through its leaves. But where there is a
drought and no cultivation the moisture
from below is constantly being brought
to the surface by capillary action, pass
ing by the roots of the plants, and is lost
in the heated atmosphere.
Hence the necessity of SO stirring the
soil as to break this continuous connec-
ton of fine capillary tubes existing in a
compact soil, so as to arrest the moisture
in its upward course at point where
the roots of the plants can appropriate it.
This explains the whole mystery of
the beneficial effects of an oft repeated
stirring of the soil during seasons Of
drought. Cultivation binders and breaks
the capillary action by charging the
pores in SO much of the ground as it
loosens and stirs up, which then acts as
mulch, keeping the soil below it cool,
while it also prevents the water from
speedily reaching the surface and pass
ing off by evaporation. Early morning
cultivation also conserves the moisture
that is deposited on the surface by dew
during the night

The area over which strikes may extend has
been sensibly widencd by strike of the police
of the Bow Street station in London, because
constable who had been working in behalf of
the police was transferred to another district
The trouble was soon settled by the restoration
of the constable TO his former field of activity.
Whether this was complete backdown by the
authorities is not clear but forty mine OF the
offending policemen have been suspended from
duty. The idea of police going on strike be-
cause their SuperorS issue orders that are not
relished by the rank and file will strike Ameri-
cans as odd. UnqueStionably obedience to or
ders. whatever they are, is inculcatcd here and
rigdly insisted on.
