regret, under the circumstances to

silage Its heavy yield, richness in
protein and soil renovating qualities
will command the attention Of all pro-
gressive agriculturists. Glover. with
the possible exception of alfalfa, can
probably be grown and placed in the
silo at a lower cost than any other for
age crop.
yetch is another valuable legume. II
will thrive in greater variety of soils
than clover and can be sown as catch
crop either in the spring or fall. 1t Is
very palatable to stock and about equal
with clover in nutritive principles and
adaptability for silagc.
Alfalfa Is also q good silage crop.
This plant under favorable conditions
will yield crop representing perhaps
q greater value per acre than any other
forage crop grown. With the silo this
crop can be made of inestimable value
to the dairying and stock growing In
dustry In semlarid sections.
Field peas make a good silage crop.
They are rich In protein, but stock do
not relish them quite so well as clover
suits have followed attempts to ensilo
peas and vetch when grown with
grain. While the grain will materially
aid in holding the vetch and pea up,
thus facilitating the harvesting of the
crop, too large proportion of grain Is
undesirable when the crop Is to be en-
sliced. The hollow stems of the grain
carry more or less air into the silo,
which is thought to accelerate fer
mentation and consequent deteriora-
tion of the silage.
The best forage plants for silage are
generally those with solid stems and
which carry over 20 per cent of solid
matter in their physical structure.
Very succulent plants, such as cab
bage, rape and immature corn, clover,
alfalfa or vetch, when carrying much
less than 20 per cent of solid matter,
are unsuited for silage.
Recorded results of q large number
Of experiments with silage warrants
the conclusion that plants are in the
best condition for silageswhen they are
fairly well matured. Corn is seemingly
In the best condition for the silo when
the kernels are nicely glazed, just after
the roasting ear stage.
The problem of sweet and sour silage
continually comes up, and much the
orlzing has been INDUCED In. That
some silage is exceedingly sour is q
well known fact, but the cause of this
condition is not well known. Results
obtained from experiments seem to in
dicate that there are at least two con-
ditions which favor the development
of organic acids in silage-i. e., imma-
turity of the plants and extreme com
pactness Of the silagef A good ex-
ample Of the former is shown in Imma-
ture corn silage.
Corn silage which though extremely
acid was exceptionally well preserved,
possessed an agreeable odor, and cows
ate 1t with ayidity. There were no ap-
preciable harmful results from feeding
this exceedingly sour silage. The period
Of feeding, however, was brief, only ex-
tending over two weeks.
The first cut represents q dry Short
horn COW which from Jan. l to May

was fed daily, without grain, 40 pounds
OF clover silage and what mixed clover
hay she would eat up clean. This cow
not only retained her excellent condi-
tion on the above ration, but made n
satisfactory gain In live weight.
The second cut represents Cotswold
rwcs which were taken off from rape
and clover pasture Dec. /, 1900, and put
on clover silage, mixed hay and a light
ration OF grain. This was fed until
March Is, 1901, when they were photo
graphed. The illustrations are intro

PARTRIDGE EGGS.

yafd to BE More Nutritious Than the
Birds Themselves.
Few persons are aware of the fact,
said a well known physician, "but 1t ID
true. nevertheless, that the egg OF the
partridge is one Of the most nutritious
things in the world. They are not used
for eating purposes except in very rare
cases, and then it generally happens in
remote rural districts. l have known
negro families in the state of Louisiana
during the laying season to live on the
eggs of partridges. And they would
flourish handsomely and grow fat on
account of the rich properties of the
eggs.
"These eggs, of course, never find
their way into the market because they
are never taken from their nest except
by such persons as I have mentioned,
and they rob the nests, l suppose, be-
cause their principal food supply comes
from this source. Quail meat comes
pretty high in the market at all times,
and the average man will find 1t more
profitable to spare the eggs and wait
for the birds when the hunting season
rolls around. These men would pass
100 nests in one day without disturbing
an egg. The sport of hunting the birds
is an additional incentive.
"The average negro does not care so
much about this aspect of the case. He
figures that the white man, having the
best gun and the best dog, will beat
him to the bird So he goes after the
egg. One partridge will lay anywhere
from II to 20 eggs, and nest is a good
find. know of many families in rural
sections who feast ON these eggs In the
laying season. l have tried the egg
myself as an experiment. l found 1t
peculiarly rich. 1t has a good flavor, is
very palatable and in fact is altogether
a very fine thing to eat. Really l be
lieve that the egg has more nutrition
in it than the fully developed bird, but
of course, as one of the men fond OF
the game in the field, I would like to
discourage the robbery of the nests. y
