An agricultural writer has said that
IL corn stalks are steamed they will
be equal TO ensilage. II is certainly
n remarkable statement TO be made at
this period of time. There can be no
possible grounds for such conclusion.
Ensilage--as IL commonly exists in
this country-is not only valued for
its succulence, which no treatment of
dry forage could possibly equal, but
il contains corn, in greater or less
quantities. The purpose of ensilag-
ing is to preserve forage in n natural.
ly succulent state, or practically so,
because in that state, whether fed in
the field or from the silO, IL gives
better results. Steaming corn stalks
can add nothing to their intrinsic
value, and IL it cannot, we shall be
unable TO make them as valuable as
silage by the process. II is claimed
that it renders forage more digestible.
This is an error. IL makes the pro-
tein less digestible. Cooking grain
for animals is advisable, under some
conditions, but the advantages in
cooking grain do not extend to cook
ing forage, and especially not to the
extent that is claimed by the writer to
whom reference has been made. The

Drunk with Cold.

The usual results of exposure to ex
treme cold, are loss of energy, both
physical and mental, followed by
drowsiness and disinclination to

ible desire to lie down and sleep. Ii
this desire Is yielded to the lethargy

Occasionally these symptoms are pre-
coded by others which resemble those
of intoxication. and are due to a Pc

Probably the most sensational en-

When Senator Clark was in Paris
last spring he purchased stained

window. which is very old. shows his

the most beautiful in France.
