Experiments with Folders.

From recent experiments, the Illinois
experiment station concludes as fol-
lows: The composition of cowpea en-
silage corresponds very closely to that
of clover hay, the important difference
being in the higher percentage of fat
found in the clover, but the digestibil-
ity of the cowpea ensilage is so much
amount of fat, and much more pro-
TEN and total energy than the clover
hay. SOFA bean ensilage resembles
clover hay both in composition and
digestibility. 1t furnishes an equal
amount of protein, more fat. but less
total energy than clover hay.
Both of these leguminous forage
plants draw upon the free nitrogen of
the air in an indirect way for part of
their food supply; their composition
shows high percentage of nitrogen
and they have great value for improv-
ing the soil
Corn fodder and corn ensilage have
about the same digestibility for total
dry matter ana furnish equal amounts
of energy. The fodder furnishes more
the ensilage slightly more of the other
nutrients.
AS compared with cowpeas and sofa
beans, the corn fodder and corn en-
silage have much higher value for en-
ergy or fat production, but the cowpea
ensilage and the sofa bean ensilage are
more valuable for animal growth or
the production of milk.

enjoyment of Il leisure which have not

my time has been taken up with de
mands of clubs, church work and
society duties. We mean to keep up
our reading, but to give up listening to
papers. Some of us are going to take

dozen pews back. Oh. yes. we shall
keep up our interest in phianthropic
work and once in a while have an old

read the daily newspapers instead of
going to current events classes; and if
we do any outside work whatever, it
will be in the line of village and town
improvement; and municipal reform.
But first and foremost we are going in
for good housekeeping, and practical
