1t is of no advantage to put the ma

1t is poor economy to allow any sheep

Experiment in Feeding Lambs.

Bulletin 81, of Minnesota station, gives
results of some experiments in feeding
lambs and wethers. Corn fed with hay
produced 20 cents per lamb more profit
than barley fed with hay. By weight,
corn proved to be worth 70 cents per
ton more than barley, s2.65 more than
wheat screenings, and $3.45 more than
wild buckwheat. The fact that screen .
ings contain weed seeds that are apt to
be scattered in the manure, renders
them very Objectionable. Making one
tenth the ration linseed or cottonseed
meal greatly increased profits. Cracked
corn and cottonseed meal was the most
profitable grain ration. The lambs
gave a profit of $1.05 each; the wethers
40 cents each.

Preserving . Corn Crop.

The Vermont station tested four ways
ct preserving a corn crop for dairy feed;
namely, l, putting in silo, ears and all;
2, cribbing the ears and putting fod-
der in silo, feeding the two together
after grinding the ears; 3, curing in
shocks, then running through cutter,
ears and all, at time of feeding; 4, cur
ing in field, and husking and grinding
ears, and running fodder through cut
ter at time of feeding. OF the four
methods, putting into the silo, ears and
all, cut in quarter inch lengths, gave tho
best results. This silage cost much
less. handled much better, went farther
and produced more milk than either OF
the other three feeds
