Snap Shot at a Weak bridge.

In England q few weeks ago q GER
tain iron bridge of one of the rail-
ways was suspected of being unsafe.
1t looked all right, but there were
some reasons why the managers were
afraid OF it. They could not decide
themselves and they sent up to Lon
don for a famous engineer to come
and look it over He came and was
puzzled. too, until he thought of a
way to test He took Kodak and
made picture of the bridge with
no train upon it. Then he kept his
camera in position and waited for a
fast train to come. Pretty soon an
express came laundering on, and
just as the big locomotive struck the
bridge he pulled open the slide and
took second picture on the same
plate that still held the first. When
the plate was examined the picture
with the train was found so much be-
low the other as to show what the
engineer and managers had feared
a dangerous droop to the bridge. -

FOOD For HE DAIRY.
Why Farmers Cannot Afford to Feed Hay
tn Cows,


Most Of the hay substitutes are sub
stitutes in furnishing the required
bulk rather than in furnishing an
equivalent in nutrition, and the prac'
teal question is how to use them in
order to obtain increased dairy prod
ucts. The best feed is the one which
accomplishes most economically the OBJ
iect in view, and the best use of feed
for dairy purposes is that which meets
the need of the animal. Coarse fodder,
hay and hay substitutes are deficient in
the nutriments best calculated to pro.
duce large milk flow. To insure this,
these folders must be combined with
feeds richer in protein and fat to make
a we'll balanced ration. There is such
an abundance of cornstallSs and slower
produced on most of our farms that
there is no necessity for our giving
much attention to the less valuable
coarse products till these are better
utilized.
OF the crops ordinarily grown, the
corn plant will doubtless furnish the
larger part of the hay substitutes. 1t
would be of advantage if our farmers
got more into the way of growing 9TH
er crops for winter feeding. The
legumes Glover, peas, etc. deserve to
take more important place in dairy
| foods Not one of sixteen rations eX-
amined contained clover hay or hay or
ensilage of the legumes. Some of the
reasons why some of the legumes are
especially valuable may be concisely
stated as follows:
Their large percentages OF protein
compounds-wh which serve to form blood,
muscle, bone and milll-and their con-
sequent feeding value, which exceeds
that of the grasses, corn fodder, corn
stover, or straws. They may be used
to supplement these folders in place of
the concentrated heterogeneous feeds,
such as bran, cottonseed, linseed and
gluten meals, etc. Hay from the le-
gumes is twice or more than twice as
rich in protein as that from grasses.
Their power of gathering large guam.
titles of plant food from natural
sources. Many, if not all of our COM
mon legumes acquire considerable
quantities of nitrogen from the air.
Their roots penetrate deeply into the
subsoil, and they thus obtain plant
food from depths beyond the reach OF
plants with smaller root development.
Their manurial value. When the
crop is fed, most of the nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid, potash and other fertiliz-
ing ingredients go into excrement,
liquid AMI solid, and If preserved make
rich manure, The large amounts Of
plant food left behind in roots and
-stubble after removal of the crop fur
nish cheap and valuable store OF
plant food for following crops Farm
and Home
