The Maine station compared the value
of chopped and unchopped hay for cows
and found no evidence that the chopping
had any effect. Cutting corn slower was
found advantageous at the Wisconsin
station. The Indiana station found that
steers made better gains on cut than on
uncut clover hay In reference to cut
ting coarse fodder Professor Henry says
There should be good feed cutter on
every dairy farm, useful for silo filling
i'll the fall and for chatting feed III the
winter. All cornstalks should be put
through this machine, for then they are
i'll better condition for feeding, and the
coarser portions left uneaten are in good
form for bedding and the manure heap.
Long cOrnStalks are a nuisance in the
feeding manager, worthless for bedding
and troublesome i'll the manure pile.
Many farmers find difficulty in feeding
cut cornstalks, since sometimes the COWS
refuse to eat them. In few cases we
have found that the sharp ends Of the
cornStalks when cut certain lengths i'll
jure the mouths Of the cows When they
are not well eaten, the cause is often
due to overlooking or endeavoring to
have the COWS live on too limited va
riety Of foods. Keep the managers clean
and feed the cut fodder with care, and
usually very little will be left over, and
that only the coarsest portion. Expert
ments at the Wisconsin station show
that with the varieties of corn fodder
raised there much more of the cut stalks
will be eaten than if fed uncut under
the same conditions.

More Than Hundred Villages Destroyed

AS we approached the falls we saw
that the river banks had been depopulat.
ed and the villages were in ashes. We
passed dead bodies floating i'll the river.
Canoes were standing on end like hol
lowed columns; crowds Of fugitives
were af1oat and hiding among the reedy
islands. These were all signs of a gen.
eral terror, but we could get no infor
nation of its character. Vague ideas Of
an invasion from some savage tribe
came to our minds, and now and then
we had "a misgiving that there must be
Arab slavers in the neighborhood.

day we came in sight of huge Arab
camp on the right bank, and before long

old and yodng, were herded like goats
and heavily fettered i'll the slave pen. 1t
then appeared that while we had been
negotiating with the negro chiefs along
the river, making roads, building sta
tiOns and hauling steamers overland,
the Arabs Of Nyangwe had been coming
down the river, laying the country
waste. We had at last met, about 90

pResERvINe FODDER CORN.
lDecisive Tests Of the Relative Value Of
-Four Popular Methods.

-Four Popular Methods.
In the eighth annual report of the
Vermont agricultural experiment sta
ton is given an instructive account of
results gained in testing four ways of
preserving corn fodder-viz: /. Eusi-
Laying the entire crop, "ears and all"
Iwhole ensilage) 2. Picking the ears,
cribbing, drying and grinding them
and feeding the meal together with the
ensilaged talks and husks (stover ensi-
lage and meaD. 3. Stocking in large
stocks (corn fodder. 4. Husking, crib
bling, drying and grinding the ears and
feeding the meal together with the
stocked stalks (corn slower and meal).
Each of the four methods of preserva-
tion saved about four -ffths of the dry
matter as harvested, and, judged by this
alone, were of practically equal eff
cheney, the figures being: Slower ensi-
laGe and meal, 18 per cent loss of dry
matter, whole ensilage, corn fodder and
corn stover and meal, 20 per cent loss
of dry matter each. These figures are
almost identical with those obtained III
similar tests previously made at this
food ingredients is much the same in
each case.
The stocked folders, while stocked,
lost more and more dry matter as the
winter went on after cutting they lost
considerable dry matter, but less as the
winter grew longer. The losses in gross
weight and dry matter in the silos were
found to be parallel, the latter, how
ever, exceeding the former. The ears in
the silo lost more of their food value
than those handled in other ways, the
reverse of the result in the 1928 ex.
pertinent. The relative cost of placing
the same amount of dry matter in the
manger was greatly in favor of the
whole ensilage. The time and money
spent in husking and grinding the ears
were wasted, since better results were
obtained when the ears were left on the
stalk.
In this experiment the ensilages were
relished much better than the dry fod-
ders, and the COWS did better upon them.
The same quantities of milk and butter
were made by feeding whole ensilage
and stOver ensilage and meal; the milk
was not changed in quality, but the
cows ate less dry matter from whole en-
silage to produce the same amounts of
milk and butter. There were but 81 or
90 pounds Of milk and butter produced
by a given amount Of dry matter in the
stover enSilage and meal ration to 100
pounds produced by tn same amount of
dry matter i'll the whole ensilage ration
The whole ensilage lasted longest,
and would consequently make the most
milk and butter. An acre of corn made
into whole enSlage yielded as much as
1.095 acres made into slower ensilage
The results of this experiment as a
whole are in entire accord with those
obtained in the similar trial at this sta
tion III 1928.

THE PRESENT ELECTION LAW.

Some rather silly obi 9ctions against
the present election law are going the
rounds of the ''me too" newspapers.
Since it has been tried, we agree that
there ought to be some changes. Some
of it may be stricken out, and, In other
sections, something may be added.
But it is folly to talk about the expense
Il was a wise provision to require a
county to have large boxes made, with
duplicates, to receive the votes as coun-
ted and preserve them. Ia this way
there is but little chance for fraud. The
pay allowed registrars is none too large.
Iofact, there ought to b a provision al
lowing poll holders moderate pay, for
they are required to give three days
time and labor. The plan to allow
each Of the three strong parties repre-
s~entation as registrars and poll holders
is admirable, as it reduces the chance
to commit fraud to a minimum. In
fact, every section of the law seems 20
meen we'll, and while it may be cum
bersome, most of it is necessary.
Under the old law, there was but one
registrar. Of course he came from the
dominant party. He kept the books
open thirty days, at his residence or
place of business. This cost less and
had one advantage. Any railroad or
other travelling man had thirty days
in which to register. In keeping the
books open but four days-four consec-
utive Saturdays, come railroad men
claim that they could not register on
account of absence. But we hardly
think many we're deprived of their
suffrage on that account. But under
the old law registrars sometimes sc
GREETED themselves or went away from
home after getting all of the members
of their own party registered, know
ing that several voters In the other
party had delayed registering until the
las. day or two of the specified time
Under the new law there are no tech
nicalities about initials and other triv-
olous things. Democrats claim that il,
legal voters were registered this year.
Probably some disfrancised voters
we're allowed to vote, but the chal-
lengers failed to produce satisfactory
evidence. The board of election must
