cent of rolid nutrients consisting Of aibumi
mold, sugar. pectose gum. etc Sugar Is

oxidation serves to maintain animal warmth.

Will be seen that apples have about as much

| better the results. If the apples are cooked by
boiling, their value Is much Increased. AS they

under these cond!tions; better get them from

| NORTH BLUEHILL-Our met hod OF stock
feeding probably does not differ very
much from that of many others. We
have always depended principally ON the
| pasi ure in summer and the hay NOW III
winter, with the addition OF western
grain when needed. We have usually
raised piece Of oats, or reas and oats, to
feed green or dry for hay, but our chief
dependence has been hay, with bran and
cottonseed meal. In the future We shall
endeavor to do as we are doing this year,
that Is, raise more grain TO cut for hay
ana more corn for the silo. This Is our
first year with the silo, TO OF course We
cannot speak from experience in regard
to II, but from what We have seen OF Its
use We believe hat no farmer can AFFORD to
get along without one. ii. b. GRAY.
| LAMoINE-Owing to the severe drought
very many hay fields are practically
ruined until they are again piowed and
reseeded. Therefore 1t becomes us to
use all the tact and skill We possess In
feeding W hat we have, with an eye more
to he thrift, comfort and growth OF our
stock than an increase in their produce
ton. A small grain feed in connection
with iessened amount OF hay or other
| coarse fodder can be used. Good warm
quarters will aid largely in producing the
best results. In view OF the threatened
reduction of the hay crop anoth her season,
would recommend sowing largely OF
Hungarian grass, both for green fodder
and for drying and storing. 1t will

condition OF seasons, when upon land
containing fair degree OF fertility. For
grain, l think corn meal will do more
| for an animal in a general way than any
other grain feed. Will the secretary
| please state what, in his opinion, is the
difference in value between tie Buffalo
and Chicago gluten meals? The price IS
quite an item in favor Of the first named.
NAHUM B. YOUNG.
NoTE-Gluten meals and gluten feeds are the
by. products left in the manufacture or starch
and lucose from corn. These waste products
are consequently richer in protein than corn.
The meals differ from the feeds In that the huils
thew are not from the feeds. The meals are
consequently richer than the feeds, and are rel
atively more valuable for feeding: We Know
of no Buffalo gluten meal having been placed
on sale or analysed by the experiment station,
but Buffalo gluten feeds have been frequently
analysed. Nineteen analyses of Chicago gluten
meal in fall of 1889 gave an average OF 81 IS per
cent Of protein and Ar per cent Of fat. At the
same time the Buffalo gluten feed analysed
rs. 80 per cent of protein and per cent. of fat
AS protein is the principal element desired In
these goods, their relative value would pracii-
cally correspond TO the amount of protein In
each. II the goods you name are about the
same as those analysed, their value will be
about as 5 is to 6h, or in other words, 1--WE tons
OF the Chicago gluten meal would be worth as
much for the protein 1t contains as OK tons of
the Buffalo gluten feed. Samples of these goods
will be analyze at any time free OF charge II
might be an excellent plan for our correspond
emit TO forward samples for analysis.-Seeretary
