oiaes,ino Hay and Oats.

One Of the most interesting Of tho
lines of Investigation followed In an
extended series OF experiments. car.
rici on under tho direction OF Pro
fcssor Zun,r at tho Agricultural High
School In Berlin. was the de,ermina-
ton Of the energy required 10 chew
and discs, different foods. The CT.
perinsen,s were complicated and too
extended to describe hero except In
very general terms. They showed that
the respiratory auoticnt, l. C.. tho ratio
Of the carbon dIoxid excrctcd In the
breath 10 the oxygen consumed from
the air. is a very delicate index OF
the changes which take place In tho
body. I, was found tha, the internal
muscular work expended In chewing.
swallowing and digcsting food could
be determined by the variations In
the respiratory quoticnt and In the
amount Of carbon diosid escretcd
when this kind Of work was performed.
as compared with the amount when
the animal rested. Dinercnt feeding
stuffs modified the respiratory QUO
tent In differsnt ways. and II was esi.
dent that some required more labor
for digestion and assimilation than
others. This is a matter of considera.
bic Importance, for IL Is evident that
u two feeding stuffs OF practically the
same composition are digested with
equal thuruughness, but one requires
for digestion and assimilation the
expenditure Of more internal muscular
work than the other. 1t Is really less
valuable: In other words, the two may
contain the same amount Of diges,ible
nutrients, but one. causes the body
more labor to assifnilate than the
other. ON the basis of zuntz's aver.
age figures of composition and digest
bility. pound OF hay furnishes O.5si
pound OF total nutrients, and pound
of oats 0.si5 pound of nutrients. As
regards nutritive value, hay and oats
are therefore commonly said to be to
each other as 400 COO. As shown by
the experiments referred to. O.2I3
pound, or 90 per cent OF the total nu-
tritlve material present In one pound
of oats Is expended in the labor OF
chewing and digesting them. In the
case of pound of hay. o.1es pound,
or ~ per cent of the total nutritive
material. is required for the same pur.
pose. Therefore hay and oats stand
really in the proportion of 200 400.
In other words. oats surpass hay in
feeding value two and one.half times
instead Of one.half time. as they are
ordinarily assumed to do.-Prof. c. r..

The English merchant does not like

packages. says Mr.. ". A. McKinnon,
chief Of the fruit division. Ottawa.
lie wants thousands Of barrels. all
uniform In quality. variety. packing
and package. This uniformity. how.
ever. cannot be secured where pack.
ing Ia done In small quantities In or.
chards. The time has arrived In the
history OF the apple trade In Canafa
when large packing houses must be
the order Of the day. Whether these
large packing houses are controlled by
cooperative associations or by cap
italists who have a knowledge Of the
apple business Is a matter Of CON.
parative Indifference. II does. how.
ever. seem quite possible for inteiii.
gent growers to unite In cooperative
associations and secure all the ad.
vantascs that accrue TO the capitalist.
a. well as those that come by packing
in large quantities.. These store
houses are not necessarily expensive
buildings. They should be frost; proof
and large enough TO accommodate the
full crop Of the patrons. II IL not at
sil difficult to get plans that have
worked we'll in other parts Of the conn.
try. The aim should be to secure as
large a quantity Of good stock as pos.
sible. to grade 1t uniformly. mark II
honestly according to the requirements
of the fruit marks act. and sell through
any medium that may offer the great.
est advantages. There is not the slight
est doubt that II such an association
were formed in any Of the fruit dis
,ricts and such a packing house estab-
iished, II would attract buyers from
every market, and the apples could be
sold for spot cash. II Is sincerely to
be hoped that the good business men
among the apple growers will take this
into their serious consideration. 1t is
not merely a question whether their
own apples will be sold at the proper
figure or not. They sho~ld be. even
for their own sakes, deeply Interested
IA the sale of their neighbors' apples.

Harvesting swset Potatoes.

small crop Of sweet potatoes may
be thrown out by common turning
plow provided with n revolving coul-
ter or other device for cutting the
vines. but such a plow leaves many OF
the tubers covered. and the labor of
gathering them Is much greater than
when special sweet potato plow is
used. says ID. N. Sesbit. In large op
erations one OF the most efficient i'm
plcmcnts for harvesting IL the scoop

ers and sewers all roots. but leaves

In tho came position II occupied be-
fore. Tho tubcrs remain attached to
the stem and are easily and rapidly
lifted out OF the ground. They are
then left TO dry several hours before
gathering. In hot weather they should
not be long exposed to the sun. This
method leaves the vines uncovered.
aud II Is easy to gather them for
stock feeding. The tubcrs are sorted
In two sizes and laid carefully tnot
ihrown) Into baskets which hold one
NTH Of n barrel. They are hauled In
these baskets to the potato house
or To the buyer at the railroad station
or steamboat landing. The small
roots are left on tn. field or gathered
for feeding stock. Il Is OF prime I'm.
poTiance to avoid cutting the tubcrs

wise:
