RICE AS FOOD FOR LIVE
STOCK.

The low prices which have pre-.
vailed for ice this season, aud the
accumulation of poor grades, for
which only very unsatisfactory pri-
ces could be realized, appear TO
have encouraged owners OF 1--we
stock to experiment with rice FOR
food for their animals. 1t Is now
com mon talk at the Board of Trade
that those who made these expert
merits haze been more than salts
fed with the results, having found
that the low grade rice has not on
| " been much cheaper than the or
binary feed, but has kept the stock
in splendid condition.
There is always a large amount
of low. grade rice iii every crop,
" hich, because of the presence of
black seeds, red grains or foreign
81 BIS. ances, becomes difficult to
sell to millers. This rice 1t is nee.
essary to dispose of at sacrifice
in order to move it at all This
season, owing to the immense crop,
large quantities of this rice have
sold at prices ranging from 81 20
to $3.50 per barrel of 1872 pounds.
Such rice, 1t is claimed, makes ex~
celent feed for live stock, and at
the prices named is much cheaper
than an equal weight OF oats. FAIR
Quantities haye been sold for that
purpose this season, and the lead
ing rice receivers appear to believe
that were the merits of this class OF
rice as feed for stock generally
known they wonld experience no
difficulty IN finding market for 1t.
This matter is certainly worth
more attention than has yet been
given it, because il, on invest'ga-
ton, it is shown that low-grade
rice, which is hard to move in the
ordinary channels, can be profltably
used as feed for stock, the prob
lem Of finding a ready market for
such rice would be permanently
solved. -PIcayune.
