Buying Feed.

The farmer is a manufacturer
Hay, grain and other folders are the
raw materials, and the cattle are the
machines for making this raw mate
rial into beef. milk, butter and cheese
The manure and skinned milk are
the waste products to be utilized.
Many points must be taken into con-
sideratiOn in order to make a profit,
but one of the most important is the
raw material-the feed. This is es-
pecially true in a season like the
present, when feed is so high. From
what | learn, farmers seem to be buv-
ing about as much feed as usual. with
a few exceptions. And what is more
to be deplOred, many are buying corn
meal and paying 40 to 45 cts. more
than it cost last year Corn meal is
as high as cotton seed meal and
nearly as high as linseed meal. The
loss sustained by farmers who buy
corn meal at present prices becomes
apparent when We CHS der the actual
value of the above mentioned feeds.
The feeding value Of u ton of corn
meal is estimated at $19.44: the
manurial value at $604. The feed
ing value of a ton of cotton seed
meal is $44.2S; the manurial value
is $2S.04. The feed value of ton of
linseed meal is $31 to $34 according
to the way the oil is extracted: the
manurial value is S21.S5. Cotton
seed meal is not so safe to feed as lin
seed meal, but if care is used, it can
be fed with profit. 1t should not be
fed to young cattle, should be fed in
small quantities at first, and not
more than a quart and a half or two
quarts should be fed daily. Linseed
meal can be fed to any animal on the
farm, old or young. 1t is excellent
for horses and young cattle. Hens
like it, and SO do sheep. The only
substitute for cotton seed and lin
seed meals, which we can raise, is
clover. Corn, grass and clover are
the best cattle feeds. 1t is becoming
a practice to cut grain when |
IN the milk and cure it as hay. I'll
run through a fodder cutter. no mice
or rats can harm it, it is said, One
thing is certain, no farmer can afford |
to buy corn meal for feeding stock. |
-orn should be grown at home, if |
any feed is bought it should be cot
ton or linseed meal, but the former
should be fed with some other grain.

The Rutland Herald is anxious for
more light touching Prof Cookies
salary as Secretary of the Board of
Agriculture. Briefly the facts are
these: Gov. Page, in an interview
with Prof Cooke, suggested to him
that the appropriation for the sup
port of the Board of Agriculture was
small, and the number of meetings
consequently too few for the good of
the State. He suggested to the Prof
that if the Z. V. NJ were the recipients
of the munificent fund which they
We're likely to receive, they could af-
ford to send him to the different coun-
ties as a lecturer, to explain to the
farmers of Vermont the results OBJ
tanned at their experiment station
that if the State paid his expenses it
seemed to the Governor that the I'm
iversity, for whom he was at work,
should waive his salary. Without de-
bate the Prof. approved heidea, and
thought the suggestion would be
cheerfully acquiesced in, and at a
subsequent meeting assured the Gov
ernor that his suggestions were favor
ably received by the trustees.
