sugar-Beet Pulp IN COW reed.

90 9 - On carrying In
California says ::ss Sugar beet pulp,
which is the principal by product in
the nufacture of beet sugar, is us
ually sold for IS to 80 cents ton at
the Factory. Last year; the price was
as hllgh as 80 cents AS it can be held
along lon time in silo and is fed to best
advantage when old, it ITS available
th te9'sr l11 year. The use Of fresh pulp
IS said to reduce the milk flow. It Isl
supposed ['lNl's to be good when a few weeks
Old and better at six months, and will
keep two or three years. 4
u When5 fresh the pulp Is piled or:
placed IN a silo where it re-:
mains mali undisturbed until needed for
use use: The material is SO soft and moist
that that II a large pile is dumped in the
corner Of an inc1osed space it will
gradually settle until the surface is
almost level. OF course the top part
decays, and after time the entire
mass mass is covered with a protecting lay

WITHIN I1J.n few months the individual
pieces Of beet which were originally
2 or 8 inches long and quite slender:
are broken down, and the appearance
OF the material reminds one Of cold
mush, grayish brown in color. Three
tons OF fresh pulp make about ton

ana It is given to beef cattle without
the addition of any other food, but
for mich cows it's effect is found to be
best when used with little grain or
hay. Without these latter it is sup
posed to produce a thin and watery
milk. One feeder uses corn with pulp,
another feeds about pounds of bran
daily. When pulp is fed in consider
able quantity the animals do not care
for water and may go for months with
out drink. A feeder who has been
using this by-product several years
complains that when his COWS have
been fed for a long time on pulp their
calves are likely to come weak and
be troubled with scours. Another
dairyman of less experience who feeds
the pulp fresh states that in his .obser-
Walton it has no bad effect on the
calves. A herd of 200 mich COWS kept
near a beet-sugar factory about 40
miles south of San Francisco is given
daily ration of 60 pounds of pulp, 5
pounds OF mixed ground grain, and
little hay. The COWS We're seen in the
pasture and appeared to be in good
health and flesh. The milking COWS
averaged almost 2 gallons each per
day. Their milk is shipped to a dealer

Artificial Incubator.
Chas. A. Cyphers: The artificial
Matching Of hens eggs has been known
from the remotest ages. Though in
Egypt tradition attributes the inven-
ton TO the ancient priests of the Tenn
pie of Isis, it is impossible to deter
mine at what period or to what nation
the constr uction OF the first eccaleobion
should be credited. The first authentic
account we find of the early meth
cos IS in 1.-THE Voltage and Travaile of
Sir John Maundeville, Kt.,' in his de-
scrlpt1on of the River Nile, Egypt, it's
geography, productions, ETC., written

"solace" during his 'swretched rest on
his return to England from the East,
broken in health: 'Also at Cayre
(Cairo), that I %spake of before sellen

the market. And there is a common
hoWs in that cytee that is all full OF

These Matching places at one time ex-
tended over. Egypt, Damascus, Jerusa-
lem and Samaria. They are, now only
found in Mausoura, in the village Of
Berma, situated in the Delta Of the
Nile. The Egyptians must have had a
thorough knowledge of the details Of
their method, for we find those having
ovens, or manuals, and making artifi-
cial Matching business, giving sixty.

The. stories that reached F1ance or
the success Of the Egyptians IN this
branch OF rural economy created con-
siderable interest at one time. One
Florentine duke imp ported an Egyptian
director, and met with siderable
success. In 1415 Charles VII. became
interested, as did also Francis Il, al
Montrichard, bout 1910. Bonneman, 3
physician of Nauterre, 1777, seems to
have been the first to establish hatch
ing ovens whereby the heat was gem
