The communication from Edward At
kinson is very interesting, but is the
reason he advances for cattle refusing
TO eat dry corn stalks the right one?
Is not the difficulty of getting them into
a condition to maSticate the true rea-
son, and is not this proved by practf-
cally all of the stalk being eaten when
cut into small pieces? Would not the
dry fodder be a better food, any way,
with all the cellulose removed? And
what better use could the cellulose be
put to than for bedding and an absor-
bent for liquid manure? Mr.. Atkinson
states that the loss in a silo is from Is
to 25 per cent. What isthecause of
this loss, and is it possible to prevent
it altogether, or in part? He also
states that under the ordinary curing
process of the stalks the loss by decay
and fermentation is approximately the
same" Why is there any loss, and is
it possible to avoid it? The prevention
of such losses would make very good
profit if accomplished at not too great
a cost. Henry Warden, Upshur county,
w. V. Ut is probable that the difficulty
of mastication and the unpalatability of
the hard, dry stalks has quite as much
to do with the refusal of the animal to
eat it ais any inherent notion of the
animal that cellulose is unfit for food.
I The removal of the cellulose is un-
d,oubtedly a benefit so far as it goes,
but at the best it can only be partial
and incomplete. The losses in the silo
are due to fermentation and evapora-
tion of the volatile products, and, ow-
ing to improved construction and
methods of growing corn, are much less
than formerly; fifteen percent. would
! be very high loss at the present time
( The losses in field curing come from
evaporation and from the teaching ef-
! feet of storms, and can only be over
come by curing entirely under cover
! which in most cases is impossible =

The area of the United States is g.
OPS, 900 square miles; with Alaska it is
S,602, 800 square miles, equal to the area
of all Europe, with Italy and Turkey
excepted. Texas, its largest State, is
two hundred and twelve times the size
OF Rhode Island. Texas might invite
every man, woman, and child now liv-
ing in the world to settle within its
territory, offering each individual a
plot of ground forty-nine and one-half
BY one hundred feet. The State would
not be really crowded, for each indi-
vidual would have four times the space
taken by each person in New York city.
England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales,
Italy and Portugal could be transplant
ed to Texas, and there would still be
room for a good-sized promenade
where curious Americans could walk
