The Losses in Corn Fodder.

The Losses in Corn Fodder.
From experiments made at the Wis
Consn station to ascertain the compare
tive loss in corn fodder when preserved
In the Silo or by the ordinary method
Of curing in the field, the results of ten
trials during a period of three years ap-
pear to be narrowed down to this. The
loss Of food materials in either system is
very cOnSidera BILE and shows that fod-
dcrs cannot be preserved by any method
now known without their dctcrioratlng
in value.
In the fodder-corn as it IS cut in the
fall there is certain quantity of food
elements that may be preserved III sue
culent state in the silo or cured and fed
to cattle as dry fodder. I'm either case
an equal quantity of the food materials
is destroyed. on an aycrsgc about one
fifth. This loss being equal in either
case, the question of which method OF
preserving foddcr-corn 10 adopt becomes
one of convenience and economy of
feed. The value of these feeding stutfS
was about the same for milk and hutter
production, hc1r--r NeccT-Iuded the

THE POULTRY-YARD,
DeCcncracY Of Poultry.

The introduction of new breeds OF
fowls is only a temporary benefit unless
care is taken to breed them with purity
or to cross only with design for a speci-
fled purpose, aud then killing all these
crosses as soon as their purpose is ac-
compiShcd. \ great majority of com
plants that hens do not pay come from
those who years ago used crosses, and
have continued to breed from them.
Their progeny are poor layers. subject
to disease and are generally worthless
Returning to pure bloodcd fowls is the
only resource Of those whose flocks have
GOT in this condition.

he Bluciay,

Beyond question the blucjav is the
prettiest of the American cone bills.
As his name indicates, blue is the pre-
dominant color of his plumaSc, and it
runs through It's most beautiful shades
along it's back and tail until it energies
into silvcry white on his breast He
has heavy, pointed crest Of dark yet
brilliant feathers raised above his head
His eyes are large, fierce and radiant,
and his bill is short and strong. He is
somewhat large than the black ced
redbird of the South, which he re-
sembles very closely in shape and in
the way he flies.
The common cry of the bluejay is
harsh and discgreeab' g, and it sounds
not unlike de jay, delay, but his love
notes are tende. and sweet, "too loo
loo, too loo loo, as if his mates name
were Lulu. He cannot be tanned, and
is quite unlike himself when Gagged.
Like some PERSONS that yOl and |
have known, the beauty of the bluejay
Is his only attraction. His habits are
singular, add he does not walk in the
ways Of righteousness nor in the paths
of peace He is a regular dude, a
smart. disag eeable tattler, an over
beaing bully, a murderer, a rolber
and a retty sneak-thief all combined.
Yet he seems to be supremacy happy
all the time; perhaps it is because he
has no conscience.
It may have been these vicious traits
of the blueiav that gave rise TO GU
rious legend among the colored people
of the South that this bird owes to the
devil one days work in each week, and
that at precisely one o'clock every Fri
day morning all the jay birds start for
